LTC2754ACUKG-16

LTC2754 Quad 12-/16-Bit SoftSpan IOUT DACs FEATURES n n n n n n n n n n n DESCRIPTION The LTC®2754 is a family of quad 12- and 16-bit multiplying serial-input, current-output digital-to-analog converters. They operate from a single 3V to 5V supply and are guaranteed monotonic over temperature. The LTC2754A-16 provides full 16-bit performance (±1LSB INL and DNL, max) over temperature without any adjustments. These SoftSpan™ DACs offer six output ranges (up to ±10V) that can be programmed through the 3-wire SPI serial interface, or pinstrapped for operation in a single range. The content of any on-chip register (including DAC output-range settings) can be verified in just one instruction cycle; and if you change any register, that register will be automatically read back during the next instruction cycle. Voltage-controlled offset and gain adjustments are also provided; and the power-on reset circuit and CLR pin both reset the DAC outputs to 0V regardless of output range.

Note 4: Input resistors measured from RINX to RCOMX ; feedback resistors measured from RCOMX to REFX. Note 5: Using LT1469 with CFEEDBACK = 15pF. A ±0.0015% settling time of 1.7μs can be achieved by optimizing the time constant on an individual basis. See Application Note 74, Component and Measurement Advances Ensure 16-Bit DAC Settling Time. Note 6: Measured at the major carry transition, 0V to 5V range. Output amplifier: LT1469; CFB = 27pF. Note 7. Full-scale transition; REF = 0V. Note 8. Analog Crosstalk is defined as the AC voltage ratio VOUTB/VREFA , expressed in dB. REFB is grounded, and DAC B is set to 0V-5V span and zero-, mid- or full- scale code. VREFA is a 3VRMS, 1kHz sine wave. Crosstalk between other DAC channels is similar or better. Note 9. REF = 6VRMS at 1kHz. 0V to 5V range. DAC code = FS. Output amplifier = LT1469. Note 10.

This control pin can be used to null gain error or to compensate for reference errors. Nominal adjustment range is ±512 LSB (LTC2754-16) for a voltage input range of ±VRINA (i.e., ±5V for a 5V reference input). Tie to ground if not used. RINA (Pin 2): Input Resistor for Reference Inverting Amplifier. The 20k input resistor is connected internally from RINA to RCOMA. For normal operation tie RINA to the external reference voltage VREFA (see Typical Applications). Any or all of these precision-matched resistor sets (Each set comprising RINX, RCOMX and REFX) may be used to invert one or more positive reference voltages to the negative voltages needed by the DACs. Typically 5V; accepts up to ±15V. IOUT2A (Pin 3): DAC A Current Output Complement. Tie IOUT2A to ground. GND (Pin 4): Ground; provides shielding for IOUT2A. Tie to ground. CS/LD (Pin 5): Synchronous Chip Select and Load Pin. SDI (Pin 6): Serial Data Input. Data is clocked in on the rising edge of the serial clock (SCK) when CS/LD is low. SCK (Pin 7): Serial Clock. SRO (Pin 8): Serial Readback Output. Data is clocked out on the falling edge of SCK. Readback data begins clocking out after the last address bit A0 is clocked in. SRO is an active output only when the chip is selected (i.e., when CS/LD is low). Otherwise SRO presents a high-impedance output in order to allow other parts to control the bus. SROGND (Pin 9): Ground pin for SRO. Tie to ground. VDD (Pin 10): Positive Supply Input; 2.7V ≤ VDD ≤ 5.5V. Bypass with a 0.1μF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to ground. GND (Pin 11): Ground.

The 20k input resistor is connected internally from RIND to RCOMD. For normal operation tie RIND to the external reference voltage VREFD (see Typical Applications). Any or all of these precision-matched resistor sets (Each set comprising RINX, RCOMX and REFX) may be used to invert one or more positive reference voltages to the negative voltages needed by the DACs. Typically 5V; accepts up to ±15V. GEADJD (Pin 14): Gain Adjust Pin for DAC D. This control pin can be used to null gain error or to compensate for reference errors. Nominal adjustment range is ±512 LSB (LTC2754-16) for a voltage input range of ±VRIND (i.e., ±5V for a 5V reference input). Tie to ground if not used. RCOMD (Pin 15): Center Tap Point for Reference Amplifier Inverting Resistors. The 20k reference inverting resistors are connected internally from RIND to RCOMD and from RCOMD to REFD, respectively (see Block Diagram). For normal operation tie RCOMD to the negative input of external reference inverting amplifier (see Typical Applications). REFD (Pin 16): Inverted Reference Voltage for DAC D, with internal connection to the reference inverting resistor. The 20k resistor is connected internally from REFD to RCOMD . For normal operation tie this pin to the output of reference inverting amplifier (see Typical Applications). Typically –5V; accepts up to ±15V. The impedance looking into this pin is 10k to ground (RIND and RCOMD floating). ROFSD (Pin 17): Bipolar Offset Network for DAC D. This pin provides the translation of the output voltage range for bipolar spans. Accepts up to ±15V; for normal operation tie to the positive reference voltage at RIND (Pin 13). The impedance looking into this pin is 20k to ground. RFBD (Pin 18): DAC D Feedback Resistor. For normal operation tie to the output of the I/V converter amplifier for DAC D (see Typical Applications). The DAC output current from IOUT1D flows through the feedback resistor to the RFBD pin. The impedance looking into this pin is 10k to ground. IOUT1D (Pin 19): DAC D Current Output. This pin is a virtual ground when the DAC is operating and should reside at 0V. For normal operation tie to the negative input of the I/V converter amplifier for DAC D (see Typical Applications). 2754f 8 LTC2754 PIN FUNCTIONS VOSADJD (Pin 20): DAC D Offset Adjust Pin. This control pin can be used to null unipolar offset or bipolar zero error. The offset voltage delta is inverted and attenuated such that a 5V control voltage applied to VOSADJD produces ΔVOS = -512 LSB (LTC2754-16) in any output range (assumes a 5V reference voltage at RIND). Tie to ground if not used. VOSADJC (Pin 21): DAC C Offset Adjust Pin. This control pin can be used to null unipolar offset or bipolar zero error. The offset voltage delta is inverted and attenuated such that a 5V control voltage applied to VOSADJC produces ΔVOS = -512 LSB (LTC2754-16) in any output range (assumes a 5V reference voltage at RINC). Tie to ground if not used. IOUT1C (Pin 22): DAC C Current Output. This pin is a virtual ground when the DAC is operating and should reside at 0V. For normal operation tie to the negative input of the I/V converter amplifier for DAC C (see Typical Applications). RFBC (Pin 23): DAC C Feedback Resistor. For normal operation tie to the output of the I/V converter amplifier for DAC C (see Typical Applications). The DAC output current from IOUT1D flows through the feedback resistor to the RFBC pin. The impedance looking into this pin is 10k to ground. ROFSC (Pin 24): Bipolar Offset Network for DAC C. This pin provides the translation of the output voltage range for bipolar spans. Accepts up to ±15V; for normal operation tie to the positive reference voltage at RINC (Pin 28). The impedance looking into this pin is 20k to ground. REFC (Pin 25): Inverted Reference Voltage for DAC C, with internal connection to the reference inverting resistor. The 20k resistor is connected internally from REFC to RCOMC. For normal operation tie this pin to the output of reference inverting amplifier (see Typical Applications). Typically –5V; accepts up to ±15V. The impedance looking into this pin is 10k to ground (RINC and RCOMC floating). RCOMC (Pin 26): Center Tap Point for Reference Amplifier Inverting Resistors. The 20k reference inverting resistors are connected internally from RINC to RCOMC and from RCOMC to REFC, respectively (see Block Diagram). For normal operation tie RCOMC to the negative input of external reference inverting amplifier (see Typical Applications). GEADJC (Pin 27): Gain Adjust Pin for DAC C. This control pin can be used to null gain error or to compensate for reference errors. Nominal adjustment range is ±512 LSB (LTC2754-16) for a voltage input range of ±VRINC (i.e., ±5V for a 5V reference input). Tie to ground if not used. RINC (Pin 28): Input Resistor for Reference Inverting Amplifier. The 20k input resistor is connected internally from RINC to RCOMC. For normal operation tie RINC to the external reference voltage VREFC (see Typical Applications). Any or all of these precision-matched resistor sets (Each set comprising RINX, RCOMX and REFX) may be used to invert one or more positive reference voltages to the negative voltages needed by the DACs. Typically 5V; accepts up to ±15V. IOUT2C (Pin 29): DAC C Current Output Complement. Tie IOUT2C to ground. CLR (Pin 30): Asynchronous Clear Pin. When this pin is low, all DAC registers (both code and span) are cleared to zero. All DAC outputs are cleared to zero volts. RFLAG (Pin 31): Reset Flag Pin. An active low output is asserted when there is a power-on reset or a clear event. Returns high when an Update command is executed. M-SPAN (Pin 32): Manual Span Control Pin. M-SPAN is used in conjunction with pins S2, S1 and S0 (Pins 33, 34 and 35) to configure all DACs for operation in a single, fixed output range. To configure the part for manual-span use, tie M-SPAN directly to VDD . The active output range is then set via hardware pin strapping of pins S2, S1 and S0 (rather than through the SPI port); and Write and Update commands have no effect on the active output span. To configure the part for SoftSpan use, tie M-SPAN directly to GND. The output ranges are then individually and dynamically controllable through the SPI port; and pins S2, S1 and S0 have no effect. See ‘Manual Span Configuration’ in the Operation section. M-SPAN must be connected either directly to GND (SoftSpan configuration) or to VDD (manual-span configuration). 2754f 9 LTC2754 PIN FUNCTIONS S0 (Pin 33): Span Bit 0.

Ranges can either be programmed in software for maximum flexibility—each of the four DACs can be programmed to any one of six output ranges—or hardwired through pin-strapping. Two unipolar ranges are available (0V to 5V and 0V to 10V), and four bipolar ranges (±2.5V, ±5V, ±10V and –2.5V to 7.5V). These ranges are obtained when an external precision 5V reference is used. When a reference voltage of 2V is used, the ranges become: 0V to 2V, 0V to 4V, ±1V, ±2V, ±4V and –1V to 3V. The output ranges are linearly scaled for other reference voltages. Manual Span Configuration Multiple output ranges are not needed in some applications. To configure the LTC2754 to operate in a single span without additional operational overhead, tie the M-SPAN pin directly to VDD. The active output range for all four DACs is then set via hardware pin strapping of pins S2, S1 and S0 (rather than through the SPI port); and Write and Update commands have no effect on the active output span. See Figure 1 and Table 3. Tie the M-SPAN pin to ground for normal SoftSpan operation. 2754f VDD LTC2754-16 VDD DAC A M-SPAN S2 S1 S0 DAC B – + – + – + – + 2754 F01 ±10V ±10V DAC C ±10V DAC D CS/LD SDI SCK ±10V Figure 1. Using M-SPAN to Configure the LTC2754 for Single-Span Operation (±10V Range Shown). 12 LTC2754 OPERATION Input and DAC Registers The LTC2754 has 5 internal registers for each DAC, a total of 20 registers (see Block Diagram). Each DAC channel has two sets of double-buffered registers—one set for the code data, and one for the output range of the DAC—plus one readback register. Double buffering provides the capability to simultaneously update the span (output range) and code, which allows smooth voltage transitions when changing output ranges. It also permits the simultaneous updating of multiple DACs. Each set of double-buffered registers comprises an Input register and a DAC register. Input register: The Write operation shifts data from the SDI pin into a chosen Input register. The Input registers are holding buffers; Write operations do not affect the DAC outputs. DAC register: The Update operation copies the contents of an Input register to its associated DAC register. The contents of a DAC register directly updates the associated DAC output voltage or output range. Note that updates always include both Data and Span registers; but the values held in the DAC registers will only change if the associated Input register values have previously been changed via a Write operation. Serial Interface When the CS/LD pin is taken low, the data on the SDI pin is loaded into the shift register on the rising edge of the clock (SCK pin). The minimum (24-bit wide) loading sequence required for the LTC2754 is a 4-bit command word (C3 C2 C1 C0), followed by a 4-bit address word (A3 A2 A1 A0) and 16 data (span or code) bits, MSB first. Figure 2 shows the SDI input word syntax to use when writing code or span. If a 32-bit input sequence is used, the first eight bits must be zeros, followed by the same sequence as for a 24-bit wide input. Figure 3 shows the input and readback sequences for both 24-bit and 32-bit operations. When CS/LD is low, the SRO pin (Serial Readback Output) is an active output.The readback data begins after the command (C3-C0) and address (A3-A0) words have been shifted into SDI. SRO outputs a logic low until the readback data begins. For a 24-bit input sequence, the 16 readback bits are shifted out on the falling edges of clocks 8-23, suitable for shifting into a microprocessor on the rising edges of clocks 9-24. For a 32-bit sequence, the bits are shifted out on clocks 16-31; see Figure 3b. When CS/LD is high, the SRO pin presents a high impedance (three-state) output. LDAC is an asynchronous update pin. When LDAC is taken low, all DACs are updated with code and span data (data in the Input buffers is copied into the DAC buffers). CS/LD must be high during this operation; otherwise LDAC is locked out and will have no effect. The use of LDAC is functionally identical to the “Update All DACs” serial input command. The codes for the command word (C3-C0) are defined in Table 1; Table 2 defines the codes for the address word (A3-A0). Readback In addition to the Input and DAC registers, each DAC has one Readback register associated with it. When a Read command is issued to a DAC, the contents of one of its four buffers (Input and DAC registers for each of Span and Code) is copied into its Readback register and serially shifted out through the SRO pin. Figure 3 shows the loading and readback sequences. In the data field (D15-D0) of any non-read instruction cycle, SRO shifts out the contents of the buffer that was specified in the preceding command. This “rolling readback” default mode of operation can dramatically reduce the number of instruction cycles needed, since any command can be verified during succeeding commands with no additional overhead. See Figure 4. Table 1 shows the storage location (‘readback pointer’) of the data which will be output from SRO during the next instruction. For Read commands, the data is shifted out during the Read instruction itself (on the 16 falling SCK edges immediately after the last address bit is shifted in on SDI). When checking the span of a DAC using SRO, the span bits are the last four bits shifted out, corresponding to their sequence and positions when writing a span.

The hardwareconfigured output range is therefore software detectable and available for use in programming. Examples 1. Using a 24-bit instruction, load DAC A with the unipolar range of 0V to 10V, output at zero volts and all other DACs with the bipolar range of ±10V, outputs at zero volts. Note all DAC outputs should change at the same time. a) CS/LD↓ Clock SDI = 0010 1111 0000 0000 0000 0011 b) CS/LD↑ Input register- Range of all DACs set to bipolar ±10V. c) CS/LD↓ Clock SDI = 0010 0000 0000 0000 0000 0001 d) CS/LD↑ Input register- Range of DAC A set to unipolar 0V to 10V. e) CS/LD↓ Clock SDI = 0011 1111 1000 0000 0000 0000 f) CS/LD↑ Input register- Code of all DACs set to midscale. g) CS/LD↓ Clock SDI = 0011 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 h) CS/LD↑ Input register- Code of DAC A set to zero code. i) CS/LD↓ Clock SDI = 0100 1111 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX j) CS/LD↑ Update all DACs for both Code and Range. k) Alternatively steps i and j could be replaced with LDAC . 2. Using a 32-bit load sequence, load DAC C with bipolar ±2.5V and its output at zero volts. Use readback to check Input register contents before updating the DAC output (i.e., before copying Input register contents into DAC register). a) CS/LD↓ (Note that after power-on, the code in Input register is zero) Clock SDI = 0000 0000 0011 0100 1000 0000 0000 0000 b) CS/LD↑ Input register- Code of DAC C set to midscale setting. c) CS/LD↓ Clock SDI = 0000 0000 0010 0100 0000 0000 0000 0100 Data out on SRO = 1000 0000 0000 0000 Verifies that Input register- Code DAC C is at midscale setting. d) CS/LD↑ Input register- Range of DAC C set to Bipolar ±2.5V range. e) CS/LD↓ Clock SDI = 0000 0000 1010 0100 xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx Data Out on SRO = 0000 0000 0000 0100 Verifies that Input register- range of DAC C set to Bipolar ±2.5V Range.

Many systems require compensation for overall system offset. This may be an order of magnitude or more greater than the offset of the LTC2754, which is so low as to be dominated by external output amplifier errors even when using the most precise op amps. The offset adjust pins VOSADJX can be used to null unipolar offset or bipolar zero error. The offset-voltage delta is inverted and attenuated such that a 5V control voltage applied to VOSADJX produces ΔVOS = – 512 LSB (LTC2754-16) in any output range (assumes a 5V reference voltage at RINX). In voltage terms, the offset delta is attenuated by a factor of 32, 64 or 128, depending on the output range. (These functions hold regardless of reference voltage.) ΔVOS = –(1/128)VOSADJX [0V to 5V, ±2.5V spans] ΔVOS = –(1/64)VOSADJX [0V to 10V, ±5V, –2.5V to 7.5V spans] ΔVOS = –(1/32)VOSADJX [±10V span] The gain error adjust pins GEADJX can be used to null gain error or to compensate for reference errors. Nominal adjustment range is ±512 LSB (LTC2754-16) for a voltage input range of ±VRINX (i.e., ±5V for a 5V reference input). The gain-error delta is non-inverting for positive reference voltages. Note that these pins compensate the gain by altering the inverted reference voltage VREFX. In voltage terms, the VREFX delta is inverted and attenuated by a factor of 128. ΔVREFX = –(1/128)GEADJX The nominal input range of these pins is ±5V; other voltages of up to ±15V may be used if needed. However, do not use voltages divided down from power supplies; reference-quality, low-noise inputs are required to maintain the performance of which the part is capable. The VOSADJX pins have an input impedance of 1.28MΩ. These pins should be driven with a Thevenin-equivalent impedance of 10k or less to preserve the settling performance of the LTC2754. They should be shorted to GND if not used. The GEADJX pins have an input impedance of 2.56MΩ, and are intended for use with fixed reference voltages only. They should be shorted to GND if not used. If the reference inverting resistors are not used for that channel, then GEADJX, RCOMX and RINX should all be shorted to REFX. Power-On Reset and Clear When power is first applied to the LTC2754, all DACs power-up in unipolar 5V mode (S3 S2 S1 S0 = 0000). All internal DAC registers are reset to 0 and the DAC outputs initialize to zero volts. If the part is configured for manual span operation, all four DACs will be set into the pin-strapped range at the first Update command. This allows the user to simultaneously update span and code for a smooth voltage transition into the chosen output range. When the CLR pin is taken low, a system clear results. The DAC buffers are reset to 0 and the DAC outputs are all reset to zero volts. The Input buffers are left intact, so that any subsequent Update command (including the use of LDAC) restores the addressed DACs to their respective previous states. If CLR is asserted during an instruction, i.e., when CS/LD is low, the instruction is aborted. Integrity of the relevant Input buffers is not guaranteed under these conditions, therefore the contents should be checked using readback or replaced. The RFLAG pin is used as a flag to notify the system of a loss of data integrity. The RFLAG output is asserted low at power-up, system clear, or if the supply VDD dips below approximately 2V; and stays asserted until any valid Update command is executed. 2754f 16 OPERATION LSB D14 16-BIT CODE MSB C2 CONTROL WORD ADDRESS WORD 12-BIT CODE C1 C0 A3 A2 A1 A0 D11 D10 D9 D8 D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 LSB D0 0 0 0 4 ZEROS 0 D13 D12 D11 D10 D9 D8 D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0 MSB C2 CONTROL WORD ADDRESS WORD C1 C0 A3 A2 A1 A0 D15 LTC2754-16 (WRITE CODE) C3 SDI LTC2754-12 (WRITE CODE) C3 LTC2754-16 LTC2754-12 (WRITE SPAN) C2 CONTROL WORD ADDRESS WORD C1 C0 A3 A2 A1 A0 0 0 0 0 0 0 C3 0 0 0 0 0 0 S3 S2 S1 SPAN S0 2754 F02 12 ZEROS Figure 2.

Fortunately, the sensitivity of INL and DNL to op amp offset has been greatly reduced compared to previous generations of multiplying DACs. Tables 4 and 5 contain equations for evaluating the effects of op amp parameters on the LTC2754’s accuracy when programmed in a unipolar or bipolar output range. These are the changes the op amp can cause to the INL, DNL, unipolar offset, unipolar gain error, bipolar zero and bipolar gain error. Tables 4 and 5 can also be used to determine the effects of op amp parameters on the LTC2754-12. However, the results obtained from Tables 4 and 5 are in 16-bit LSBs. Divide these results by 16 to obtain the correct LSB sizing. Table 6 contains a partial list of LTC precision op amps recommended for use with the LTC2754. The easy-to-use design equations simplify the selection of op amps to meet Table 4.

Select the amplifier from Table 6 and insert the specified op amp parameters in Table 5. Add up all the errors for each category to determine the effect the op amp has on the accuracy of the part. Arithmetic summation gives an (unlikely) worst-case effect. A root-sum-square (RMS) summation produces a more realistic estimate. Op amp offset will contribute mostly to output offset and gain error, and has minimal effect on INL and DNL. For example, for the LTC2754-16 with a 5V reference in 5V unipolar mode, a 250μV op amp offset will cause a 3.3LSB zero-scale error and a 3.3LSB gain error; but only 0.8LSB of INL degradation and 0.2LSB of DNL degradation. While not directly addressed by the simple equations in Tables 4 and 5, temperature effects can be handled just as easily for unipolar and bipolar applications. First, consult an op amp’s data sheet to find the worst-case VOS and IB over temperature. Then, plug these numbers into the VOS and IB equations from Table 5 and calculate the temperature-induced effects. For applications where fast settling time is important, Application Note 74, “Component and Measurement Advances Ensure 16-Bit DAC Settling Time,” offers a thorough discussion of 16-bit DAC settling time and op amp selection. Precision Voltage Reference Considerations Much in the same way selecting an operational amplifier for use with the LTC2754 is critical to the performance of the system, selecting a precision voltage reference also requires due diligence. The output voltage of the LTC2754 is directly affected by the voltage reference; thus, any voltage reference error will appear as a DAC output voltage error. There are three primary error sources to consider when selecting a precision voltage reference for 16-bit applications: output voltage initial tolerance, output voltage temperature coefficient and output voltage noise. Initial reference output voltage tolerance, if uncorrected, generates a full-scale error term. Choosing a reference with low output voltage initial tolerance, like the LT1236 (±0.05%), minimizes the gain error caused by the reference; however, a calibration sequence that corrects for system zero- and full-scale error is always recommended. A reference’s output voltage temperature coefficient affects not only the full-scale error, but can also affect the circuit’s apparent INL and DNL performance. If a reference is chosen with a loose output voltage temperature coefficient, then the DAC output voltage along its transfer characteristic will be very dependent on ambient conditions. Minimizing the error due to reference temperature coefficient can be achieved by choosing a precision reference with a low output voltage temperature coefficient and/or tightly controlling the ambient temperature of the circuit to minimize temperature gradients.

This in turn can degrade system dynamic range and signal-tonoise ratio. Care should be exercised in selecting a voltage reference with as low an output noise voltage as practical for the system resolution desired. Precision voltage references, like the LT1236, produce low output noise in the 0.1Hz to 10Hz region, well below the 16-bit LSB level in 5V or 10V full-scale systems. However, as the circuit bandwidths increase, filtering the output of the reference may be required to minimize output noise. Grounding As with any high resolution converter, clean grounding is important. A low impedance analog ground plane and star grounding techniques should be used. IOUT2X must be tied to the star ground with as low a resistance as possible. When it is not possible to locate star ground close to IOUT2, a low resistance trace should be used to route this pin to star ground. This minimizes the voltage drop from this pin to ground caused by the code-dependent current flowing to ground. When the resistance of this circuit board trace becomes greater than 1Ω, a force/sense amplifier configuration should be used to drive this pin (see Figure 5). This preserves the excellent accuracy (1LSB INL and DNL) of the LTC2754-16. Layout Figures 6, 7, 8, and 9 show the layout for the LTC2754 evaluation board, DC1546. This shows how to route the digital signals around the device without interfering with the reference and output op amps.
