Schmitt-Trigger Inputs for Direct Optocoupler
Interface
This device features a standard high-speed (clock up
to 50MHz), 3 V or 5 V SPI serial interface to
communicate with a DSP or microprocessor.
The DAC8832 provides unipolar or bipolar output
(±VREF) when working with an external buffer, and is
reset to mid-code after power-up. For optimum
performance, a set of Kelvin connections to the
external reference and the analog ground input are
provided.
APPLICATIONS
•
•
•
•
•
The DAC8832 is a single, 16-bit, serial-input,
voltage-output digital-to-analog converter (DAC)
operating from a single 3 V to 5 V power supply. The
DAC8832 provides excellent linearity (1 LSB INL),
low glitch, low noise, and fast settling (1.0 μS to 1/2
LSB of full-scale output) over the specified
temperature range of –40°C to +85°C. The output is
unbuffered, which reduces the power consumption
and the error introduced by the buffer.

Optical Networking
The DAC8832 is available in a QFN-14 package, and
is pin-to-pin compatible with the DAC8831IRGY,
which is reset to zero code after power-up.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

Slew rate is measured from 10% to 90% of transition when the output changes from 0 to full-scale.
Digital feedthrough is defined as the impulse injected into the analog output from the digital input. It is measured when the DAC output
does not change; CS is held high, while SCLK and DIN signals are toggled.

THEORY OF OPERATION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The DAC8832 is a single, 16-bit, serial-input, voltage-output DAC. It operates from a single supply ranging from
2.7 V to 5 V, and typically consumes 5 μA. Data are written to this device in a 16-bit word format, via an SPI
serial interface. To ensure a known power-up state, the DAC8832 is designed with a power-on reset function.
The DAC8832 is reset to mid-scale code. In unipolar mode, the DAC8832 is reset to 1/2 × VREF, and in bipolar
mode, is reset to 0 V. Kelvin sense connections for the reference and analog ground are also included.
DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG SECTIONS
The DAC architecture consists of two matched DAC sections and is segmented. A simplified circuit diagram is
shown in Figure 43. The four MSBs of the 16-bit data word are decoded to drive 15 switches, E1 to E15. Each of
these switches connects one of 15 matched resistors to either AGND or VREF. The remaining 12 bits of the data
word drive switches S0 to S11 of a 12-bit voltage mode R-2R ladder network.

POWER-ON RESET
The DAC8832 has a power-on reset function to ensure the output is at a known state upon power-up. Upon
power-up, the DAC latch and input register contain mid-scale code until new data are loaded from the input serial
shift register. Therefore, after power-up, the output from pin VOUT is 0.5 × VREF in unipolar mode, and 0 V in
bipolar mode.
However, the serial register is not cleared on power-up, so its contents are undefined. When loading data initially
to the device, 16 bits or more should be loaded to prevent erroneous data appearing on the output. If more than
16 bits are loaded, the last 16 are kept; if less than 16 are loaded, bits will remain from the previous word. If the
device must be interfaced with data shorter than 16 bits, the data should be padded with 0s at the LSBs.
SERIAL INTERFACE
The digital interface is standard 3-wire connection compatible with SPI, QSPI™, Microwire™, and TI DSP
interfaces, which can operate at speeds up to 50 M-bits/sec. The data transfer is framed by CS, the chip select
signal. The DAC works as a bus slave. The bus master generates the synchronize clock, SCLK, and initiates the
transmission. When CS is high, the DAC is not accessed, and the clock SCLK and serial input data SDI are
ignored. The bus master accesses the DAC by driving pin CS low. Immediately following the high-to-low
transition of CS, the serial input data on pin SDI is shifted out from the bus master synchronously on the falling
edge of SCLK, and latched on the rising edge of SCLK into the input shift register, MSB first. The low-to-high
transition of CS transfers the contents of the input shift register to the input register. All data registers are 16-bit.
It takes 16 clocks of SCLK to transfer one data word to the parts. To complete a whole data word, CS must go
high immediately after 16 SCLKs are clocked in. If more than 16 SCLKs are applied during the low state of CS,
the last 16 bits are transferred to the input register on the rising edge of CS. However, if CS is not kept low
during the entire 16 SCLK cycles, the data are corrupted. In this case, reload the DAC with a new 16-bit word.
The DAC8832 has an LDAC pin allowing the DAC latch to be updated asynchronously by bringing LDAC low
after CS goes high. In this case, LDAC must be maintained high while CS is low. If LDAC is tied permanently
low, the DAC latch is updated immediately after the input register is loaded (caused by the low-to-high transition
of CS).

APPLICATION INFORMATION
UNIPOLAR OUTPUT OPERATION
The DAC8832 is capable of driving unbuffered loads of 60 kΩ. Unbuffered operation results in low supply current
(typically 5 μA) and a low offset error. The DAC8832 can be configured to output both unipolar and bipolar
voltages. Figure 44 shows a typical unipolar output voltage circuit. The code table for this mode of operation is
shown in Table 1.

SBAS380B – FEBRUARY 2006 – REVISED SEPTEMBER 2007
OUTPUT AMPLIFIER SELECTION
For bipolar mode, a precision amplifier should be used, supplied from a dual power supply. This provides the
±VREF output.
In a single-supply application, selection of a suitable operational amplifier may be more difficult because the
output swing of the amplifier does not usually include the negative rail; in this case, AGND. This output swing can
result in some degradation of the specified performance unless the application does not use codes near 0.
The selected operational amplifier needs to have low-offset voltage (the DAC LSB is 38 μV with a 2.5 V
reference), eliminating the need for output offset trims. Input bias current should also be low because the bias
current multiplied by the DAC output impedance (approximately 6.25 kΩ) adds to the zero-code error.
Rail-to-rail input and output performance are required. For fast settling, the slew rate of the operational amplifier
should not impede the settling time of the DAC. Output impedance of the DAC is constant and
code-independent, but in order to minimize gain errors the input impedance of the output amplifier should be as
high as possible. The amplifier should also have a 3 dB bandwidth of 1 MHz or greater. The amplifier adds
another time constant to the system, thus increasing the settling time of the output. A higher 3 dB amplifier
bandwidth results in a shorter effective settling time of the combined DAC and amplifier.
REFERENCE AND GROUND
Since the input impedance is code-dependent, the reference pin should be driven from a low impedance source.
The DAC8832 operates with a voltage reference ranging from 1.25 V to VDD. References below 1.25 V result in
reduced accuracy.
The DAC full-scale output voltage is determined by the reference. Table 1 and Table 2 outline the analog output
voltage for particular digital codes.
For optimum performance, Kelvin sense connections are provided. If the application does not require separate
force and sense lines, they should be tied together close to the package to minimize voltage drops between the
package leads and the internal die.
POWER SUPPLY AND REFERENCE BYPASSING
For accurate high-resolution performance, it is recommended that the reference and supply pins be bypassed
with a 10 μF tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor.
