DAC8775
8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
Each channel of DAC8775 consists of a resistor-string digital-to-analog converter (DAC) followed by buffer
amplifiers. The output of the buffer drives the current output stage and the voltage output amplifier. The resistor-
string section is simply a string of resistors, each of value R, from REFIN to PBKG, as the Functional Block
Diagram illustrates. This type of architecture ensures DAC monotonicity. The 16-bit binary digital code loaded to
the DAC register determines at which node on the string the voltage is tapped off before being fed into the output
amplifier. The current output stage converts the output from the string to current using a precision current source.
The voltage output provides a voltage output to the external load. When the current output stage or the voltage
output stage is disabled, the respective output pin is in Hi-Z state. After power-on, both output stages are
disabled. Each channel of DAC8775 also contains a Buck-Boost converter which can be used to generate the
power supply for the current output stage and voltage output amplifier.

8.3.1 Current Output Stage
Each channel's current output stage consists of a pre-conditioner and a precision current source as shown in
Figure 101. This stage provides a current output according to the DAC code. The output range can be
programmed as 0 mA to 20 mA, 0 mA to 24 mA, 4 mA to 20 mA, 3.5 mA to 23.5 mA, or 24 mA. In the current
output mode, the maximum compliance voltage on pin IOUT_x is between (-|VNEG_IN_x| + 3 V) |IOUT_x|
(VPOS_IN_x 3 V). This compliance voltage is automatically maintained when the Buck-Boost converter is used
to generate these supplies (see Buck-Boost Converter section). However, when using an external supply for
VPOS_IN_x pin (Buck-Boost converter disabled), the VPOS_IN_x and VNEG_IN_x supplies should be chosen
such that this compliance voltage is maintained.

8.3.2 Voltage Output Stage
The voltage output stage as conceptualized in Figure 102 provides the voltage output according to the DAC code
and the output range setting. The output range can be programmed as 0 V to +5 V or 0 V to +10 V for unipolar
output mode, and 5 V or 10 V for bipolar output mode. In addition, an option is available to increase the output
voltage range by 20%. The output current drive can be up to 10 mA. The output stage has short-circuit current
protection that limits the output current to 16 mA, this limit can be changed to 8 mA, 20 mA or 24mA via writing
bits 15 and 14 of address 0x04. This minimum headroom and footroom for the voltage output stage is
automatically maintained when the Buck-Boost converter is used to generate these supplies. However, when
using an external supply for VPOS_IN_x and VNEG_IN_x pin (Buck-Boost converter disabled) the minimum
headroom and footroom as per must be maintained. In this case, the Recommended Operating Conditions
shows the maximum allowable difference between VPOS_IN_x and VNEG_IN_x.
The voltage output is designed to drive capacitive loads of up to 1 F. For loads greater than 20 nF, an external
compensation capacitor can be connected between CCOMP_x and VOUT_x to keep the output voltage stable at
the expense of reduced bandwidth and increased settling time. Note that, a step response (due to input code
change) on the voltage output pin loaded with large capacitive load (> 20 nF) will trigger the short circuit limit
circuit of the output stage. This will result in setting the short circuit alarm status bits. Therefore, it is
recommended to use slew rate control for large step change, when the voltage output pin is loaded with high
capacitive loads.

Figure 102. Voltage Output
The VSENSEP_x pin is provided to enable sensing of the load. Ideally, it is connected to VOUT_x at the
terminals. Additionally, it can also be used to connect remotely to points electrically "nearer" to the load. This
allows the internal output amplifier to ensure that the correct voltage is applied across the load as long as
headroom is available on the power supply. However, if this line is cut, the amplifier loop would be broken.
Therefore, an optional resistor can be used between VOUT_x and VSENSEP_x to prevent this.
The VSENSEN_x pin can be used to sense the remote ground and offset the VOUT pin accordingly. The
VSENSEN_x pin can sense a maximum of 7 V difference from the PBKG pin of the DAC8775.
The 16-bit data can be written to DAC8775 as shown in DAC data registers, see Table 5 and Table 6.

8.3.3 Buck-Boost Converter

The DAC8775 includes a Buck-Boost Converter for each channel to minimize the power dissipation of the chip
and provides significant system integration. This Buck-Boost converter is based on a Single Inductor Multiple
Output (SIMO) architecture and requires a single inductor (per channel) to simultaneously generate all the analog
power supplies required by the chip. The Buck-Boost converters utilize three on-chip switches (shown in
Figure 103) which are synchronously controlled via current mode control logic. These converters are designed to
work in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) with an external inductor (per channel) of value 100 H
connected between LN_x and LP_x pins (see Buck-Boost Converter External Component Selection section). The
peak inductor current inductor is limited to a value of 0.5 A internally.

Figure 103. Buck-Boost Converter
These Buck-Boost converters employ a variable switching frequency technique. This technique increases the
converter efficiency at all loads by automatically reducing the switching frequency at light loads and increasing it
at heavy loads. At no load condition, the converter stops switching completely until the load capacitor discharges
by a preset voltage. At this point the converter automatically starts switching and recharges the load capacitor(s).
In addition to saving power at all loads, this technique ensures low switching noise on the converter outputs at
light loads. The minimum load capacitor for these Buck-Boost converters is 10 F. This capacitor must be
connected between the schottky diode(s) and ground (0 V) for each arm of each Buck-Boost converter (A, B, C,
D). The Buck-Boost converter, when enabled, generates ripple on the supply pins (VPOS_IN_x and
VNEG_IN_x). This ripples is typically attenuated by the power supply rejection ratio of the output amplifiers
(IOUT_x or VOUT_x) and appears as noise on the output pin of the amplifiers (IOUT_x and VOUT_x). A larger
load capacitor in combination with additional filter (see Application Information section) reduces the output ripple
at the expense of increasing settling time of the converter output.
The input voltage to the Buck-Boost converters (pin PVDD_x) can vary from +12 V to +36 V. These outputs can
be individually enabled or disabled via the user SPI interface (see Commands in Table 5 and Table 6).
8.3.3.1 Buck-Boost Converters Outputs

Each of the four Buck-Boost converters can be used to provide power to the current output stage or the voltage
output stage by enabling the respective Buck-Boost converter and connecting the power supplies as shown in
Figure 104. Additional passive filters can optionally be added between the schottky diode and input supply pins
(VPOS_IN_x and VNEG_IN_x) to attenuate the ripple feeding into the VPOS_IN_x and VNEG_IN_x pin.

8.3.3.2 Selecting and Enabling Buck-Boost Converters

The analog outputs of the Buck-Boost converters can be enabled in two different ways: Current Output Mode or
Voltage Output Mode. Any and all combination of the DAC8775 Buck-Boost converters can be selected by
writing to address 0x06 (see Table 5). The positive/negative arm of the selected Buck-Boost converter can be
enabled via writing to address 0x07 (see Table 6). Note that, VNEG_IN_x is internally shorted to PBKG when the
negative arm of Buck-Boost converter is not enabled.
When used in voltage output mode, the Buck-Boost converter generates a constant 15.0 V for the positive and
negative power supplies. Alternatively this constant voltage may be modified by the clamp register setting for
each channel.
When used in current output mode the Buck-Boost converter generates the positive and negative power supply
based on the RANGE setting, for example the negative power supply is only generated for 24 mA range.
The minimum voltage that the Buck-Boost converter can generate on the VPOS_IN_x pin in 4.96 V with a typical
efficiency of 75% at PVDD_x = 12 V and a load current of 24 mA, thus significantly minimizing power dissipation
on chip. The maximum voltage that the Buck-Boost converter can generate on the VPOS_IN_x pin is 32 V.
Similarly, the minimum voltage that the Buck-Boost converter can generate on the VNEG_IN_x pin in 18.0 V.
The maximum voltage that the Buck-Boost converter can generate on the VNEG_IN_x pin in 5.0 V.
8.3.3.3 Configurable Clamp Feature and Current Output Settling Time

A large signal step on the output pin IOUT_x (for example 0 mA to 24 mA) with a load of 1 K would require that
the respective Buck-Boost converter change the output voltage on the VPOS_IN_x pin from 4 V to 27 V. Thus,
the current output settling time will be dominated by the settling time of the VPOS_IN_x voltage. A trade off can
be made to reduce the settling time at the expense of power saving by increasing the minimum voltage that the
respective Buck-Boost converter generates on the positive output.
The DAC8775 implements a configurable clamp feature. This feature allows multiple modes of operation based
on CCLP[1:0] and HSCLMP bits (see Table 6).
8.3.3.3.1 Default Mode - CCLP[1:0] = "00" - Current Output Only

This is the default mode of operation, CCLP[1:0] = "00" for Buck-Boost converter is to be in full tracking mode.
The minimum voltage generated on VPOS_IN_x in this case is 4 V. The Buck-Boost converter varies the positive
and negative outputs adaptively such that the voltage across these outputs and IOUT_x pins is 3 V. This is
accomplished by internally feeding back the voltage across the current output PMOS and NMOS to the
respective Buck-Boost converter control circuit. For example, for a load current of 24 mA flowing through a load
resistance of 1 K, the generated voltage at the VPOS_IN_x pin will be around 27 V.

DAC8775

8.3.3.3.2 Fixed Clamp Mode - CCLP[1:0] = "01" - Current and Voltage Output
In this mode of operation, the user can over-ride the default operation by writing "01" to CCLP[1:0]. The minimum
voltage generated on VPOS_IN_x and VNEG_IN_x can be adjusted by writing to PCLMP[3:0] / NCLMP[3:0]
(address 0x07). The voltage setting for current output and voltage output are specified in Table 6.
8.3.3.3.3 Auto Learn Mode - CCLP[1:0] = "10" - Current Output Only

In this mode ,the device automatically senses the load on the current output terminal and sets the minimum
voltage generated on VPOS_IN_x terminals to a fixed value. The value is calculated such that for any code
change, the settling time is dependent only on the DAC settling time. For example, with a load of 250 and a
maximum current of 24 mA, the Buck-Boost output voltage is set as 9 - 12 V. This achieves the maximum power
saving without sacrificing settling time because the Buck-Boost output is fixed.
In order to ensure the correct operation of auto-learn mode, following steps below must be followed.
1. The device must be enabled in full tracking mode, CCLP[1:0] = "00".
2. Current output is enabled and a code greater then 4000h should be written to the DAC.
3. Write CCLP[1:0] = "10" to enable auto learn mode.
At this point, the clamp register (PCLMP - address 0x07) is populated with the appropriate settings. The clamp
status bit CLST (address 0x0B) is set once the clamp register is populated indicating the completion of this
process. In this mode the PCLMP bits are read only. Typically, this process of sensing the load is done only once
after power up. In order to re initiate this process, the CCLP bits must be rewritten with "10".
8.3.3.3.4 High Side Clamp (HSCLMP)

The default maximum positive voltage that the Buck-Boost converter can generate is 32 V. However, this voltage
can be reduced to 26 V by writing '1' to HSCLMP bit (address 0x0E, Table 6). Note that this feature can be
enabled or disabled per channel by selecting the corresponding channel (address 0x03, Table 6).
8.3.3.4 Buck-Boost Converters and Open Circuit Current Output

In normal operating condition when current output is loaded with a resistive load, the Buck-Boost converter varies
the positive and negative outputs adaptively such that the voltage across these outputs and IOUT_x pins is 3
V. However, if the current output is in open circuit condition, the Buck-Boost converter output would rail to fixed
voltages as described in Table 1.
Table 1. Open Circuit IOUT with Buck-Boost Converter

IOUT RANGE IOUT PIN VOLTAGE VPOS_IN_x VNEG_IN_x
POSITIVE ARM NEGATIVE ARM
Enabled Enabled All Ranges 0V 20 V 5 V
Enabled Enabled 24 mA only <0V 4V 20 V
Enabled Disabled All ranges except 24 mA 0V 32 V 0V
8.3.4 Analog Power Supply

After power up it is required that a hardware reset is issued using the RESET pin.
The DAC8775 is design to operate with a single power supply (12 V to 36 V) using integrated Buck-Boost
converter. In this mode, pins PVDD_x and AVDD must be tied together and driven by the same power supply.
VPOS_INx and VNEG_IN_x will be enabled as programmed by the device registers. It is recommended that
DVDD is applied first to reduce output transients.
The DAC8775 can also be operated without using the integrated Buck-Boost converter. In this mode, pins
PVDD_x, AVDD, and VPOS_IN_x must be tied together and driven by the same power supply (12 V to 36 V). In
this mode in order to reduce output transients it is recommended that DVDD is applied first, followed by
VPOS_IN_x / PVDD_x / AVDD and finally REFIN. Note that in this mode, the minimum required head room and
foot room for the output amplifiers must be met.
Recommended Operating Conditions shows the maximum and minimum allowable limits for all the power
supplies when DAC8775 is powered using external power supplies.
DAC8775
8.3.5 Digital Power Supply

The digital power supply to DAC8775 can be internally generated or externally supplied. This is determined by
the status of DVDD_EN pin.
When the DVDD_EN pin is left floating, the voltage on DVDD pin is generated via an internal LDO. The typical
value of the voltage generated on DVDD pin is 5 V. In this mode, the DVDD pin can also be used to power other
digital components on the board. The maximum drive capability of this pin is 10mA. Please note that to ensure
stability the minimum load capacitance on this pin is limited to 100 pF, where as the maximum load capacitance
is limited to 0.1 F.
When the DVDD_EN pin is tied to 0 V, the internal LDO is disabled and the DVDD pin must be powered via an
external digital supply.
8.3.6 Internal Reference

The DAC8775 includes an integrated 5-V reference with an initial accuracy of 10 mV maximum and a
temperature drift coefficient of 10 ppm/C maximum. A buffered output capable of driving up to 5 mA is available
on REFOUT. The internal reference for DAC8775 is disabled by default. To enable the internal reference,
REF_EN bit on address 0x02h must be set to '1' (see Table 6).
8.3.7 Power-On-Reset
The DAC8775 contain power on reset circuits which is based on AVDD and DVDD power supplies. After power-
on, the power-on-reset circuit ensures that all registers are at their default values (see Table 5). The current,
voltage output DACs, and the Buck-Boost converters are disabled. The current output pin is in high impedance
state.
The voltage output pin is in a 30k-to-GND state; however, the VSENSEP_x pin is an open circuit. The voltage
output pin impedance may be changed to high-impedance by the POC bit setting.
8.3.8 ALARM Pin

The DAC8775 contains an ALARM pin. When one or more of following events occur, the ALARM pin is pulled
low:
1. The load on any channel's IOUT_x pin is in open circuit (> 500 sec); or
2. The voltage at IOUT_x, when enabled, reaches a level where the accuracy of the output current would be
compromised. This condition is detected by monitoring internal voltage levels of the IOUT_x circuitry and will
typically be below the specified compliance voltage minimum of 3 V (> 500 sec). Note that, when the buck
boost converter is enabled in full tracking mode (CCLP[1:0] = "00"), a transient alarm signal can be observed
during the current output transition. This condition occurs because the compliance voltage for current output
is violated as the buck boost converter is adjusting the power supply. Alternatively the alarm can be
programmed to only indicate an alarm once the DC/DC has reached saturation and the compliance voltage
condition is still being violated; or
3. The die temperature has exceeded +150C; or
4. The SPI watchdog timer exceeded the timeout period (if enabled); or
5. The SPI frame error check (CRC) encountered an error (if enabled).
6. A short circuit current limit is reached (> 500 sec) on any VOUT_x when enabled in voltage output mode.
7. The Buck-Boost converter has reached the maximum output voltage (set by bit HSCLMP, Table 6 address
0x0E).
When connecting the ALARM pins of multiple DAC8775 devices together, forming a wired-AND function, the host
processor should read the status register of each device to know all the fault conditions that are present.
The ALARM pin continuously monitors the above mentioned conditions and returns to open drain condition if the
alarm condition is removed (non-latched behavior - default). For condition (1) mentioned above and Buck-Boost
converter used to power the DAC, the ALARM pin if pulled low due to the alarm condition will remain pulled low
even after the alarm condition is removed (latched behavior). In this condition the alarm pin can be reset by
1. Resetting the corresponding fault bits in the status register (address 0x0B, Table 6); or
2. Performing software reset (write to address 0x01, Table 6); or
3. Toggling hardware reset pin; or

DAC8775
4. Performing power on reset.

Note that if the alarm action bits are programmed to "10" (AC_IOC[1:0], the Buck-Boost converter and the current
output amplifier are automatically disabled upon the event of open circuit on current output. In this case, the
ALARM automatically resets to the default behavior (non-latched behavior).
8.3.9 Power GOOD Bits

Each Buck-Boost converter in DAC8775 has a read only bit called power good (PGx) (address 0x0B, Table 6).
This bit is set to logic '1' when both of the following conditions are met:
1. The VPOS_IN_x > 4 V (if enabled) and
2. The VNEG_IN_x < 3 V (if enabled)
The PGx bit indicates the status of the outputs of the enabled Buck-Boost converters. For example if the output
of Buck-Boost converter A is the only one enabled, then the PGA bit will be set to a logic '1' only after the
positive output pins of the Buck-Boost converter A are 3.0 V and the negative output pin of Buck-boost
converter A is -3.0 V.
8.3.10 Status Register

Since, DAC8775 contains one ALARM pin for the entire chip, the status of individual fault condition can be
checked using the status register. This register (see Register Maps and Bit Functions section) consists of five
types of ALARM status bits (Faults on current and voltage outputs , Over temperature condition, CRC errors,
Watchdog timeout and Buck-Boost converter power good) and two status bit (User toggle, Auto Learn status).
The device continuously monitors these conditions. When an alarm occurs, the ALARM pin is pulled low and the
corresponding status bit is set ('1'). Whenever one of these status bits is set, it remains set until the user clears it
by writing '1' to corresponding bit on address 0x0B. The status bit can also be cleared by performing a hardware
reset, software reset, or power-on reset, note that it takes a minimum of 8 sec for the status register to get
reset. These bits are reasserted if the ALARM condition continues to exist in the next monitoring cycle.
8.3.11 Status Mask

The ALARM pin for DAC8775 is triggered by any of the alarm conditions (see ALARM Pin section). However,
these different alarm conditions can be masked from creating the alarm signal at the pin by using the status
mask register. The status mask register (address 0x0C, Table 6) has the same bit order as the status register
except that it can be set to mask any or all status bits that create the alarm signal.
8.3.12 Alarm Action

The DAC8775 implements an alarm action register (address 0x0D,Table 6). By writing to this register, the user
can select the action that the device will take automatically in case of a specific alarm condition. In case, different
setting are chosen for different alarm conditions, the following priority (high to low) will be considered when taking
action:
1. Over temperature alarm
2. Output fault alarm
3. CRC error/Watchdog timer fault alarm
This device also contains a 6-bit alarm code register (address 0x0E, Table 6) which can be loaded to the DACs if
the alarm action register is set to "01". Note that the alarm code, once set, remains set even if the alarm
condition is removed. Also note that the alarm action change to the programmed code is a step function even if
slew rate control is enabled.
8.3.13 Watchdog Timer

This feature is useful to ensure that communication between the host processor and the DAC8775 has not been
lost. It can be enabled by setting the WEN (address 0x03) bit to '1', see Table 6. The watchdog timeout period
can be set using the WPD[1:0] address 0x03) bits. The timer period is based off an internal oscillator with a
typical value of 8 MHz.

DAC8775
If enabled, the chip must have an SPI frame with 0x10 as the write address byte written to the device within the
programmed timeout period. Otherwise, the ALARM pin asserts low and the WDT bit (address 0x0B) of the
status register is set to '1'. The WDT bit is set to '0' with a software/hardware reset, or by disabling the watchdog
timer (WEN = '0'), or powering down the device.
When using multiple DAC8775 devices in a daisy-chain configuration, the open-drain ALARM pins of all devices
can be connected together to form a wired-AND network. The watchdog timer can be enabled in any number of
the devices in the chain although enabling it in one device in the chain should be sufficient. The wired-AND
ALARM pin may get pulled low because of the simultaneous presence of different trigger conditions in the
devices in the daisy-chain. The host processor should read the status register of each device to know all the fault
conditions present in the chain.
8.3.14 Programmable Slew Rate

The slew rate control feature allows the user to control the rate at which the output voltage or current changes.
This feature is disabled by default and can be enabled for the selected channel by writing logic '1' to the SREN
bit at address 0x04 (see Table 6). With the slew rate control feature disabled, the output changes smoothly at a
rate limited by the output drive circuitry and the attached load.
With this feature enabled, the output does not slew directly between the two values. Instead, the output steps
digitally at a rate defined by bits [2:0] (SR_STEP) and bits [3:0] (SRCLK_RATE) on address 0x04 (see Table 6).
SR_RATE defines the rate at which the digital slew updates; SRCLK_STEP defines the amount by which the
output value changes at each update. Table 6 shows different settings for SRCLK_STEP and SR_RATE.
The time required for the output to slew over a given range can be expressed as Equation 8:
Output Change
Slew Time =
Step Size.Update Clock Frequency.LSB Size (8)
Where:
Slew Time is expressed in seconds
Output Change is expressed in amps (A) for current output mode or volts (V) for voltage output mode
When the slew rate control feature is enabled, the output changes happen at the programmed slew rate. This
configuration results in a staircase formation at the output. If the CLR pin is asserted, the output slews to the
zero-scale value at the programmed slew rate. When a new DAC data is written, the output starts slewing to the
new value at the slew rate determined by the current DAC code and the new DAC data. The update clock
frequency for any given value is the same for all output ranges. The step size, however, varies across output
ranges for a given value of step size because the LSB size is different for each output range.
Note that disabling the slew rate feature while the DAC is executing the slew rate command will abort the slew
rate operation and the DAC output will stay at the last code after which the slew rate disable command was
acknowledged.
8.3.15 HART Interface

On the DAC8775, digital communication such as HART can be modulated onto the input signal for each channel.
In the case where the RANGE (address 0x04) bits are programmed such that the IOUT_x is enabled, the
external HART signal (ac voltage; 500 mVPP, 1200 Hz and 2200 Hz) can be capacitively coupled in through the
HARTIN_x pin and transferred to a current that is superimposed on the current output. The HARTIN_x pin has a
typical input impedance of 20 k to 30 k, depending on the selected current output range, which together with
the input capacitor used to couple the external HART signal into the HARTIN_x pin can be used to form a high-
pass filter to attenuate frequencies below the HART bandpass region. In addition to this filter, an external passive
filter is recommended to complete the filtering requirements of the HART specifications. Figure 105 illustrates the
output current versus time operation for a typical HART interface.

DAC8775
Note: DC current = 6 mA.
Figure 105. Output Current vs Time
The HART pin for the selected channel can be enabled by writing logic '1' to the HTEN bit at address 0x04 (see
Table 5 and Table 6).
8.4 Device Functional Modes

8.4.1 Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
The device is controlled over a versatile four-wire serial interface (SDIN, SDO, SCLK, and SYNC) that operates
at clock rates of up to 25 MHz and is compatible with SPI, QSPI, Microwire, and digital signal processing
(DSP) standards. The SPI communication command consists of a write address byte and a data word for a total
of 24 bits (when CRC is disabled). The timing for the digital interface is shown in the Timing Requirements: Write
and Readback Mode section.
8.4.1.1 Stand-Alone Operation

The serial clock SCLK can be a continuous or a gated clock. When SYNC is high, the SCLK and SDIN signals
are blocked and the SDO pin is in a HiZ state. Exactly 24 falling clock edges must be applied before SYNC is
brought high. If SYNC is brought high before the 24th falling SCLK edge, then the data written are not transferred
into the internal registers. If more than 24 falling SCLK edges are applied before SYNC is brought high, then the
last 24 bits are used. The device internal registers are updated from the Shift Register on the rising edge of
SYNC. In order for another serial transfer to take place, SYNC must be brought low again.
8.4.1.2 Daisy-Chain Operation

For systems that contain more than one device, the SDO pin can be used to daisy-chain multiple devices
together. Daisy-chain operation can be useful for system diagnostics and in reducing the number of serial
interface lines. The daisy chain feature can be enabled by writing logic '0' to DSDO bit address 0x03 (see Table
6), the SDO pin is set to HiZ when DSDO bit is set to 1. By connecting the SDO of the first device to the SDIN
input of the next device in the chain, a multiple-device interface is constructed, as Figure 11 illustrates.

Figure 106. Three DAC8775s in Daisy-Chain Mode
The DAC8775 provides two modes for daisy-chain operation: normal and transparent. The TRN bit in the Reset
config register determines which mode is used. In Normal mode (TRN bit = '0'), the data clocked into the SDIN
pin are transferred into the shift register. The first falling edge of SYNC starts the operating cycle. SCLK is
continuously applied to the SPI Shift Register when SYNC is low. If more than 24 clock pulses are applied, the
data ripple out of the shift register and appear on the SDO line. These data are clocked out on the rising edge of
SCLK and are valid on the falling edge. By connecting the SDO pin of the first device to the SDIN input of the
next device in the chain, a multiple-device interface is constructed. Each device in the system requires 24 clock
pulses. Therefore, the total number of clock cycles must equal 24 N, where N is the total number of DAC8775s
in the chain. When the serial transfer to all devices is complete, SYNC is taken high. This action latches the data
from the SPI Shift registers to the device internal registers synchronously for each device in the daisy-chain, and
prevents any further data from being clocked in. Note that a continuous SCLK source can only be used if SYNC
is held low for the correct number of clock cycles. For gated clock mode, a burst clock containing the exact
number of clock cycles must be used and SYNC must be taken high after the final clock in order to latch the
data.
In Transparent mode (address 0x02h, TRN bit = '1' Table 6), the data clocked into SDIN are routed to the SDO
pin directly; the Shift Register is bypassed. When SCLK is continuously applied with SYNC low, the data clocked
into the SDIN pin appear on the SDO pin almost immediately (with approximately a 12 ns delay); there is no 24
clock delay, as there is in normal operating mode. While in Transparent mode, no data bits are clocked into the
Shift Register, and the device does not receive any new data or commands. Putting the device into transparent
mode eliminates the 24 clock delay from SDIN to SDO caused by the Shift Register, thus greatly speeding up the
data transfer. For example, consider three DAC8775s (C, B, and A) in a daisy-chain configuration (see Figure
11). The data from the SPI controller are transferred first to C, then to B, and finally to A. In normal daisy-chain
operation, a total of 72 clocks are needed to transfer one word to A. However, if C and B are placed into Sleep
mode, the first 24 data bits are directly transferred to A (through C and B); therefore, only 24 clocks are needed.
To wake the device up from transparent mode and return to normal operation, the hardware RESET pin must be
toggled.
8.4.2 SPI Shift Register

The SPI Shift Register is 24 bits wide (refer to the Frame Error Checking section for 32-bit frame mode). The
default 24-bit input frame consists of an 8-bit address byte followed by a 16-bit data word as shown in Table 2.

8.4.3 Write Operation

A typical write to program a channel of the DAC8775 consists of writing to the following registers in the sequence
shown in Figure 12.

8.4.4 Read Operation

A read operation is accomplished when DB 23 is '1' (see Table 3). A no-operation (NOP) command should follow
the read operation in order to clock out an addressed register. The read register value is output MSB first on
SDO on successive falling edges of SCLK.

8.4.5 Updating the DAC Outputs and LDAC Pin

Depending on the status of both SYNC and LDAC, and after data have been transferred into the DAC Data
registers, the DAC outputs can be updated either in asynchronous mode or synchronous mode.
8.4.5.1 Asynchronous Mode

In this mode, the LDAC pin is set low before the rising edge of SYNC. This action places the DAC8775 into
Asynchronous mode, and the LDAC signal is ignored. The DAC latches are updated immediately when SYNC
goes high.
8.4.5.2 Synchronous Mode

To use this mode, set LDAC high before the rising edge of SYNC, and then take LDAC low after SYNC goes
high. In this mode, when LDAC stays high, the DAC latch is not updated; therefore, the DAC output does not
change. The DAC latch is updated by taking LDAC low any time after a certain delay from the rising edge of
SYNC (see Figure 1). If this delay requirement is not satisfied, invalid data are loaded. Refer to the Timing
Requirements: Write and Readback Mode section for details.
DAC8775
8.4.6 Hardware RESET Pin

When the RESET pin is low, the device is in hardware reset. All the analog outputs (VOUT_A to VOUT_D and
IOUT_A to IOUT_D), all the registers except the POC register, and the DAC latches are set to the default reset
values. In addition, the Gain and Zero registers are loaded with default values, communication is disabled, and
the signals on SYNC and SDIN are ignored (note that SDO is in a high-impedance state). When the RESET pin
is high, the serial interface returns to normal operation and all the analog outputs (VOUT_A to VOUT_D and
IOUT_A to IOUT_D) maintain the reset value until a new value is programmed.
8.4.7 Hardware CLR Pin

The CLR pin is an active high input that should be low for normal operation. When this pin is a logic '1', all the
outputs are cleared to either zero-scale code or midscale code depending on the status of the CLSLx bit (see
Reset Register (address = 0x01) [reset = 0x0000]). While CLR is high, all LDAC pulses are ignored. When CLR
is taken low again, the DAC outputs remain cleared until new data is written to the DACs. The contents of the
Offset registers, Gain registers, and DAC input registers are not affected by taking CLR high. Note that the clear
action will result in the outputs clearing to the default value instantaneously even if slew rate control is enabled.
8.4.8 Frame Error Checking

If the DAC8775 is used in a noisy environment, error checking can be used to check the integrity of SPI data
communication between the device and the host processor. This feature can be enabled by setting the CREN bit
address 0x03 (see Table 6).
The frame error checking scheme is based on the CRC-8-ATM (HEC) polynomial x8 + x2 + x + 1 (that is,
100000111). When error checking is enabled, the SPI frame width is 32 bits, as shown in Table 1. The normal
24-bit SPI data are appended with an 8-bit CRC polynomial by the host processor before feeding it to the device.
For a register readback, the CRC polynomial is output on the SDO pins by the device as part of the 32 bit frame.
Note that the user has to start with the default 24 bit frame and enable frame error checking through the CREN
bit and switch to the 32 bit frame. Alternatively, the user can use a 32-bit frame from the beginning and pad the 8
MSB bits as the device will only use the last 24 bits until the CRCEN bit is set. The frame length has to be
carefully managed, especially when using daisy-chaining in combination with CRC checking to ensure correct
operation.
Table 4. SPI Frame with Frame Error Checking Enabled

BIT 31:BIT 8 BIT 7:BIT 0
Normal SPI frame data 8-bit CRC polynomial
The DAC8775 decodes the 32-bit input frame data to compute the CRC remainder. If no error exists in the
frame, the CRC remainder is zero. When the remainder is non-zero (that is, the input frame has single- or
multiple-bit errors), the ALARM pin asserts low and the CRE bit of the status register (address 0x0B) is also set
to '1'. Note that the ALARM pin can be asserted low for any of the different conditions as explained in the
ALARM Pin section. The CRE bit is set to '0' with a software or hardware reset, or by disabling the frame error
checking, or by powering down the device. In the case of a CRC error, the specific SPI frame is blocked from
writing to the device.
Frame error checking can be enabled for any number of DAC8775 devices connected in a daisy-chain
configuration. However, it is recommended to enable error checking for none or all devices in the chain. When
connecting the ALARM pins of all combined devices, forming a wired-AND function, the host processor should
read the status register of each device to know all the fault conditions present in the chain. For proper operation,
the host processor must provide the correct number of SCLK cycles in each frame, taking care to identify
whether or not error checking is enabled in each device in the daisy-chain.
8.4.9 DAC Data Calibration

Each channel of the DAC8775 contains a dedicated user calibration register set. This feature allows the user to
trim the system gain and offset errors. Both the voltage output and the current output have common user
calibration registers available. The user calibration feature is disabled by default. To enable this feature for a
selected channel(s), the CLEN bit (DB0) on address 0x08 must be set to logic '1 (see Table 6).

DAC8775
8.4.9.1 DAC Data Gain and Offset Calibration Registers

The DAC calibration register set includes one gain calibration and one offset calibration register (16 bits for
DAC8775) per channel (address 0x09 and 0x0A). The range of gain adjustment is typically 50% of full-scale
with 1 LSB per step. The power-on value of the gain register is 0x8000 which is equivalent to a gain of 1. The
offset code adjustment is typically 32,768 LSBs with 1 LSB per step. The input data format of the gain register
is unsigned straight binary, and the input data format of the offset register is twos complement. The gain and
offset calibration is described by Equation 9.
User_Gain + 215
CODE_OUT = CODE. + User_Zero
216
(9)
Where:
VREFIN is the reference voltage; for internal reference, VREFIN = +5 V.
GAIN is automatically selected for a desired voltage output range as shown in Table 7.
User_Offset is the signed 16-bit code in the offset register.
User_GAIN is the unsigned 16-bit code in the gain register.
It is important to note that this is a purely digital implementation and the output is still limited by the programmed
value at both ends of the voltage or current output range. Therefore, the user must remember that the correction
only makes sense for endpoints inside of the true device end points. If the user desires to correct more than just
the actual device error, for example a system offset, the valid range for the adjustment would change accordingly
and must be taken into account. This range is set by the RANGE bits as described in Table 6.

9 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TIs customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

DAC8775
Figure 127. DAC8775 External Buck-Boost Components with Recommended Values
The buck-boost converters integrated in the DAC8775 each require three external passive components for
operation: a single inductor per channel as well as storage capacitors and switching diodes for each VPOS_IN_x
and VNEG_IN_x channels that are active. If only one output is used, either VPOS_IN_x or VNEG_IN_x, the
inactive output components may be removed and the respective inputs tied to ground. In order to meet the
parametric performance outlined in the Electrical Characteristics section for the voltage output, 500 mV of foot-
room is required on VNEG_IN_x.
The recommended value for the external inductor is 100 H with at least 500 mA peak inductor current.
Reducing the inductor value to as low as 80 H is possible, though this will limit the buck-boost converter
maximum input voltage to output voltage ratio, reduce efficiency, and increase ripple. Reducing the inductor
below 80 H will result in device damage. Peak inductor current should be rated at 500 mA or greater with 20%
inductance tolerance at peak current. If peak inductor current for an inductor is violated the effective inductance
is reduced, which will impact maximum input to output voltage ratio, efficiency, and ripple.
An output, or storage, X7R capacitor with value of 10 F and voltage rating of 50 V is recommended though
other values and dielectric materials may be used without damaging the DAC8775. Reducing capacitor value will
increase buck-boost converter output ripple and reduced voltage rating will reduce effective capacitance at full-
scale buck-boost converter outputs. X7R capacitors are rated for 55C to 125C operation with 15% maximum
capacitance variance over temperature. Designs operating over reduced temperature spans and with loose
efficiency requirements may use different dielectric material. C0G capacitor typically offer tighter capacitance
variance but come in larger packages, but may be beneficial substitutes.

DAC8775
Application Information (continued)

The external diode switches illustrated on the left and right side of the 100 H inductor shown in Figure 127
should be selected based on reverse voltage rating, reverse recovery time, leakage or parasitic capacitance, and
current or power ratings. Breakdown voltage rating of at least 60 V is recommended to accommodate for the
maximum voltage that may be across the diode when both VPOS_x and VNEG_x are both active during
switching of the DC/DCs. Minimal reverse recovery time and parasitic capacitance is recommended in order to
preserve efficiency of the DC/DCs. The external diode should be rated for at least 500 mA average forward
current.

Figure 128. Simplified Block Diagram of Voltage Output Architecture
When designing for a shared voltage and current output terminal it is important to consider leakage paths that
may corrupt the voltage or current output stages.
When the voltage output is active and the current output is inactive the IOUT_x pin becomes a high-impedance
node and therefore does not significantly load the voltage output in a way that would degrade VOUT_x
performance. When the voltage output is inactive and the current output is active switches S1, S2, and S4 all
become open while switch S3 is controlled by the POC bit in the Reset Config Register for each respective
channel. When the POC bit is set to a 0, the default value, switch S3 is closed when VOUT is disabled. This
creates a leakage path with respect to the current output when the terminals are shared which will create a load-
dependent error. In order to reduce this error the POC bit can be set to a 1 which opens switch S3, effectively
making the VOUT pin high-impedance and reducing the magnitude of leakage current.
9.1.3 Optimizing Current Output Settling time with Auto learn Mode
When the buck-boost converters are active power and heat dissipation of the device are at a minimum, however
settling time of the current output is dominated by the slew rate of the buck-boost converter, which is significantly
slower that the current output signal chain alone. When the buck-boost converters are bypassed settling time of
the current output is minimized while power and heat dissipation are significant.
Auto-learn mode offers an alternative mode which allows the buck-boost converter to learn the size of the load
and choose a clamped output value that does not change over the full range of the selected current output. This
allows a balance between settling time and power dissipation. There are two options for entering auto-learn
mode:
Enable the buck-boost converter in full-tracking mode followed by enabling the current output. Until the DAC
code 0x4000 is passed, settling time will be dominated by the buck-boost converter. After code 0x400 is
surpassed the buck-boost converter detects the load and sets the clamp value appropriately.
Enable the buck-boost converter in clamp-mode with clamp value set to a greater voltage than required by
DAC8775

the largest load the current output will be expected to drive, followed by enabling the current output. Enter full-
tracking mode. In this case the clamp value of maintained without the buck-boost converter output changing,
therefore settling time is set by the IOUT_x signal chain. After code 0x4000 is surpassed the buck-boost
converter detects the load and adjusts the clamp value appropriately. At all times using this initialization
procedure the settling time is defined by the IOUT_x signal chain.
9.1.4 Protection for Industrial Transients

In order to successfully protect the DAC8775, or any integrated circuit, against industrial transient testing the
internal structures and how they may behave when exposed to said signals must be understood. Figure 129
depicts a simplified representation of internal structures present on the devices output pins which are
represented as a pair of clamp-to-rail diodes connected to the VPOS_IN_x and VNEG_IN_x supply rails.

(Single Channel Illustrated for Simplicity)
Figure 129. Simplified Block Diagram of Internal Structures and External Protection
When these internal structures are exposed to industrial transient testing, without the external protection
components, the diode structures will become forward biased and conduct current. If the conducted current is too
large, which is often true for high-voltage industrial transient tests, the structures will become permanently
damaged and impact device functionality.
Both attenuation and diversion strategies are implemented to protect the internal structures as well as the device
itself. Attenuation is realized by capacitor C4 which forms an R/C low-pass filter when interacting with the source
impedance of the transient generator, ferrite bead FB1 also helps attenuate high-frequency current, along with
both AC and DC current limiters realized by series pass elements R1, R2, and R3. Diversion is achieved by
transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode D7 and clamp-to-rail diodes D5 and D6. The combined effects of both
strategies effectively limit the current flowing into the device and through the internal diode structures such that
the device is not damaged and remains functional.
It is important to also include TVS diodes D1 and D4 at the VPOS_IN_x and VNEG_IN_x nodes in order to
provide a discharge path for the energy that is going to be sent to these nodes through diodes D5, D6, and the
internal diode structures. Without these diodes when current is diverted to these nodes the DC/DC converter
storage capacitors C1 and C2 will charge, slowly increasing the voltage at these nodes.

DAC8775

9.1.5 Implementing HART with DAC8775
The DAC8775 features internal resistors to convert a 500-mVpp HART FSK signal sourced by an external HART
modem. These resistors are ratiometrically matched to the gain-setting resistors for the current output signal
chain to ensure that a 500-mVpp input at the HART_IN_x pin is delivered as a 1-mApp signal at the respective
IOUT_x pin regardless of which gain mode is selected.
An external capacitor, placed in series between the HART_IN_x pin and HART FSK source, is required to AC
couple the HART FSK signal to the HART_IN_x pin. The recommended capacitance for this external capacitor is
from 10 nF to 22 nF.

9.2.2 Design Requirements

Analog I/O modules are used by programmable logic controllers (PLCs) to interface sensors, actuators, and
other field instruments. These modules must meet stringent electrical specifications for both accuracy and robust
protection. These outputs are typically current outputs based on the 4-mA to 20-mA range and derivatives or
voltage outputs ranging from 0 V to 5 V, 0 V to 10 V, 5 V, and 10 V. Common error budgets accommodate
0.1% full-scale range total unadjusted error (% FSR TUE) at room temperature. Designs that desire stronger
accuracy over temperature frequently implement calibration. Often the PLC back-plane provides access to a 12-
V to 36-V analog supply from which a majority of analog supply voltages are derived.

DAC8775
Typical Application (continued)

Analog output modules are frequently multi-channel modules featuring either channel-to-channel isolation
between each channel or group isolation where several channels share a common ground connection. As
channel count increases it is desirable to maintain small form-factor requiring high levels of integration and
reduced power dissipation in order to control heat inside of the PLC enclosure.
Therefore the design requirements are:
Support of standard industrial automation voltage and current output spans
Operation with standard industrial automation supply voltages from 12 V to 36 V
Current and voltage outputs with TUE less than 0.1% at 25C
Total on-board power dissipation less than or equal to 1 W
At minimum criteria B IEC61000-4 ESD, EFT, CI, and Surge immunity

Figure 131. Generic Design for Typical PLC Current and Voltage Outputs
Figure 131 illustrates a common generic solution for realizing the desired voltage and current output spans for
industrial automation applications.
The current output circuit is comprised of amplifiers A1 and A2, MOSFETs Q1 and Q2, and the three resistors
RSET, RA, and RB. This two-stage current source enables the ground-referenced DAC output voltage to drive
the high-side amplifier required for the current-source.

DAC8775

The voltage output circuit is composed of amplifier A3 and the resistor network consisting of RFB, RG1, and
RG2. A3 operates as a modified summing amplifier, where the DAC controls the non-inverting input and inverting
input has one path to GND and a second to VREF. This configuration allows the single-ended DAC to create
both the unipolar 0-V to 5-V and 0-V to 10-V outputs and the bipolar 5-V and 10-V outputs by modifying the
values of RG1 and RG2.
Though this generic circuit realizes the desired spans, both the voltage and current outputs have short-comings.
The current output high-side supply voltage is typically 24 V, when driving low impedance loads with this supply
voltage a considerable amount of power is dissipated on RB and Q2. This power dissipation results in increased
heat which leads to drift errors for amplifiers A1 and A2 as well as the DAC, resistors, and the reference voltage.
In order to reduce the power dissipation in the high-side voltage to current converter circuit a feedback system
which monitors the voltage drop across Q2 and adaptively adjusts the high-side supply voltage can be
implemented. This feedback system adjusts the high side supply voltage to the minimum supply required to keep
Q2 in the linear region of operation, avoiding compliance voltage saturation, reducing power dissipation and heat
to a minimum which helps maintain accuracy.
The generic voltage output circuit performs well but does not compensate for errors associated with excessive
output impedance or differences in ground potential from the local PLC ground and the load ground. A modified
circuit can be implemented which provides connections to sense errors associated with both output impedance
voltage drops and differences in ground potentials, this circuit is shown in Figure 128.
Figure 130 illustrates the DAC8775 along with the LM5166 in a quad-channel PLC analog output module. The
DAC8775 includes the generic voltage and current output circuits along with buck-boost converter and feedback
circuits for the current output and positive and negative sense connections for the voltage output circuit. The
DAC8775 includes an internal reference and internal LDO for supplying the field-side of a digital isolator along
with the buck-boost converter generating the single or dual high voltage supplies required for the output circuits,
all powered from a single supply.
The DAC8775 buck-boost converter operates at peak efficiency with 12-V input voltage with peak power
consumption of approximately 780mW. The LM5166 circuit accepts a wide range of input voltages from just
above 12 V to 65 V, providing coverage for most standard PLC supply voltages, and buck-converts this supply
voltage to the optimal 12-V supply for the DAC8775. Cumulative power dissipation for the DAC8775 and LM5166
is under 1 W.
Two ISO7641 devices implement galvanic isolation for all of the digital communication lines, though only a single
ISO7641 is required for basic communication with the DAC8775 SPI compatible interface. An output protection
circuit is included which is designed to provide immunity to the IEC61000-4 industrial transient and radiation test
suite. The protection circuit includes transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diodes, clamp-to-rail steering diodes,
and pass elements in the form of resistors and ferrite beads.

There are three possible hardware power supply configurations for the DAC8775: the internal DC/DC provides
both positive and negative supply voltages, the internal DC/DC provides only one of the supply voltages with an
external supply provided on the other, or the internal DC/DC is not used at all and external supply voltages are
provided for both positive and negative supply voltages. Simple illustrations for each case are shown below.

11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines

An example layout based on the design discussed in the Typical Application section is shown in the Layout
Example section. Figure 139 shows the top-layer of the design which illustrates all component placement as no
components are placed on the bottom layer. Figure 140 shows two of the internal power-layers: the layer on the
left contains VPOS_IN_B, VPOS_IN_C, VNEG_IN_B, and VNEG_IN_D nets while the layer on the right contains
VPOS_IN_A, VPOS_IN_D, VNEG_IN_A, and VNEG_IN_C nets.
The layer stack-up for this 6-layer example layout is shown below. A 6-layer design is not required, however
provides optimal conditions for ground and power-supply planes. The solid ground plane beneath the majority of
the signal traces, which are placed on the top layer, allows for a clean return path for sensitive analog traces and
keeps them isolated from the internal power supply nets which will exhibit ripple from the DC/DC converter.

Signal Traces and Ground Fill
Figure 138. Example Layout Layer Stack-Up
Traces for the DC/DC external components should be as low impedance, low inductance, and low capacitance
as possible in order to maintain optimum performance. As such wide traces should be used to minimize
inductance with minimal use of vias as vias will contribute large inductance and capacitance to the trace. For this
reason it is recommended that all DC/DC components placed on the top layer.
The industrial transient protection circuit should be placed as close to the output connectors as possible to
ensure that the return currents from these transients have a controlled path to exit the PCB which does not
impact the analog circuitry.
Split ground planes for the DC/DC, digital, and analog grounds are not required but may be helpful to isolated
ground return currents from cross-talk. If split ground planes are used care should be taken to ensure that signal
traces are only placed above or below the locations where their respective grounds are placed in order to
mitigate unexpected return paths or coupling to the other ground planes. If a single ground plane is used it is
advisable to follow similar practices implementing a star-ground where the respective return currents interact with
one another minimally. The example layout uses a single ground plane, based on measured results, performs
similarly to an identical version with split ground planes.
The perimeter of the board is stitched with vias in order to enhance design performance against environments
which may include radiated emissions. Additional vias are placed in critical areas nearby the design in order to
place ground pours in between nodes to reduce cross-talk between adjacent traces.
Standard best-practices should be applied to the remaining components, including but not limited to, placing
decoupling capacitors close to their respective pins and using wide traces or copper pours where possible,
particularly for power traces where high current may flow.

Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability
information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)
(3)
MSL, Peak Temp. - The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.
(4)
There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.
(5)
Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation
of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.
(6)
Lead/Ball Finish - Orderable Devices may have multiple material finish options. Finish options are separated by a vertical ruled line. Lead/Ball Finish values may wrap to two lines if the finish
value exceeds the maximum column width.
