FEATURES  
DESCRIPTION  
2345  
Bipolar Output: ±2V to ±16.5V  
Unipolar Output: 0V to +33V  
16-Bit Resolution  
The DAC8718 is  
digital-to-analog converter (DAC). With  
a
low-power, octal, 16-bit  
5V  
a
reference, the output can either be a bipolar ±15V  
voltage when operating from dual ±15.5V (or higher)  
power supplies, or a unipolar 0V to +30V voltage  
when operating from a +30.5V (or higher) power  
supply. With a 5.5V reference, the output can either  
be a bipolar ±16.5V voltage when operating from dual  
±17V (or higher) power supplies, or a unipolar 0V to  
+33V voltage when operating from a +33.5V (or  
higher) power supply. This DAC provides low-power  
operation, good linearity, and low glitch over the  
specified temperature range of –40°C to +105°C. This  
device is trimmed in manufacturing and has very low  
zero-code and gain error. In addition, system level  
calibration can be performed to achieve ±1 LSB  
bipolar zero/full-scale error with bipolar supplies, or  
±1 LSB zero code/full-scale error with a unipolar  
supply, over the entire signal chain. The output range  
can be offset by using the DAC offset register.  
Low Power: 14.4mW/Ch (Bipolar Supply)  
Relative Accuracy: 4 LSB Max  
Low Zero/Full-Scale Error  
Before User Calibration: ±10 LSB Max  
After User Calibration: ±1 LSB  
Flexible System Calibration  
Low Glitch: 4nV-s  
Settling Time: 15μs  
Channel Monitor Output  
Programmable Gain: x4/x6  
Programmable Offset  
SPI™: Up to 50MHz, 1.8V/3V/5V Logic  
Schmitt Trigger Inputs  
The DAC8718 features a standard, high-speed serial  
peripheral interface (SPI) that operates at up to  
50MHz and is 1.8V, 3V, and 5V logic compatible, to  
communicate with a DSP or microprocessor. The  
input data of the device are double-buffered. An  
asynchronous load input (LDAC) transfers data from  
the DAC data register to the DAC latch. The  
asynchronous CLR input sets the output of all eight  
DACs to AGND. The VMON pin is a monitor output  
that connects to the individual analog outputs, the  
offset DAC, the reference buffer outputs, and two  
external inputs through a multiplexer (mux).

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.

(1) Offset DAC A and Offset DAC B are trimmed in manufacturing to minimize the error for symmetrical output. The default value may vary  
no more than ±10 LSB from the nominal number listed in Table 7. The Offset DAC pins are not intended to drive an external load, and  
must not be connected during dual-supply operation.  
(2) Gain = 4 and TC specified by design and characterization.  
(3) The DAC outputs are buffered by op amps that share common AVDD and AVSS power supplies. DC crosstalk indicates how much dc  
change in one or more channel outputs may occur when the dc load current changes in one channel (because of an update). With  
high-impedance loads, the effect is virtually immeasurable. Multiple AVDD and AVSS terminals are provided to minimize dc crosstalk.

(4) Specified by design.  
(5) The analog output range of VOUT-0 to VOUT-7 is equal to (6 × VREF – 5 × OUTPUT_OFFSET_DAC) for gain = 6. The maximum value of  
the analog output must not be greater than (AVDD – 0.5V), and the minimum value must not be less than (AVSS + 0.5V). All  
specifications are for a ±16.5V power supply and a ±15V output, unless otherwise noted.  
(6) When the output current is greater than the specification, the current is clamped at the specified maximum value.  
(7) Slew rate is measured from 10% to 90% of the transition when the output changes from 0 to full-scale.  
(8) Power-on delay is defined as the time from when the supply voltages reach the specified conditions to when CS goes low, for valid  
digital communication.  
(9) Digital-to-analog glitch is defined as the amount of energy injected into the analog output at the major code transition. It is specified as  
the area of the glitch in nV-s. It is measured by toggling the DAC register data between 7FFFh and 8000h in straight binary format.  
(10) Channel-to-channel isolation refers to the ratio of the signal amplitude at the output of one DAC channel to the amplitude of the  
sinusoidal signal on the reference input of another DAC channel. It is expressed in dB and measured at midscale.  
(11) DAC-to-DAC crosstalk is the glitch impulse that appears at the output of one DAC as a result of both the full-scale digital code and  
subsequent analog output change at another DAC. It is measured with LDAC tied low and expressed in nV-s.  
(12) Digital crosstalk is the glitch impulse transferred to the output of one converter as a result of a full-scale code change in the DAC input  
register of another converter. It is measured when the DAC output is not updated, and is expressed in nV-s.  
(13) Digital feedthrough is the glitch impulse injected to the output of a DAC as a result of a digital code change in the DAC input register of  
the same DAC. It is measured with the full-scale digital code change without updating the DAC output, and is expressed in nV-s.  
(14) The output must not be greater than (AVDD – 0.5V) and not less than (AVSS + 0.5V).

(1) Gain = 4 and TC specified by design and characterization.  
(2) The DAC outputs are buffered by op amps that share common AVDD and AVSS power supplies. DC crosstalk indicates how much dc  
change in one or more channel outputs may occur when the dc load current changes in one channel (because of an update). With  
high-impedance loads, the effect is virtually immeasurable. Multiple AVDD and AVSS terminals are provided to minimize dc crosstalk.  
(3) Specified by design.  
(4) The analog output range of VOUT-0 to VOUT-7 is equal to (6 × VREF) for gain = 6. The maximum value of the analog output must not be  
greater than (AVDD – 0.5V). All specifications are for a +32V power supply and a 0V to +30V output, unless otherwise noted.  
(5) When the output current is greater than the specification, the current is clamped at the specified maximum value.  
(6) Slew rate is measured from 10% to 90% of the transition when the output changes from 0 to full-scale.  
(7) Power-on delay is defined as the time from when the supply voltages reach the specified conditions to when CS goes low, for valid  
digital communication.  
(8) Digital-to-analog glitch is defined as the amount of energy injected into the analog output at the major code transition. It is specified as  
the area of the glitch in nV-s. It is measured by toggling the DAC register data between 7FFFh and 8000h in straight binary format.  
(9) Channel-to-channel isolation refers to the ratio of the signal amplitude at the output of one DAC channel to the amplitude of the  
sinusoidal signal on the reference input of another DAC channel. It is expressed in dB and measured at midscale.

(10) DAC-to-DAC crosstalk is the glitch impulse that appears at the output of one DAC as a result of both the full-scale digital code and  
subsequent analog output change at another DAC. It is measured with LDAC tied low and expressed in nV-s.  
(11) Digital crosstalk is the glitch impulse transferred to the output of one converter as a result of a full-scale code change in the DAC input  
register of another converter. It is measured when the DAC output is not updated, and is expressed in nV-s.  
(12) Digital feedthrough is the glitch impulse injected to the output of a DAC as a result of a digital code change in the DAC input register of  
the same DAC. It is measured with the full-scale digital code change without updating the DAC output, and is expressed in nV-s.  
(13) The analog output must not be greater than (AVDD – 0.5V).

THEORY OF OPERATION  
GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The DAC8718 contains eight DAC channels and eight output amplifiers in a single package. Each channel  
consists of a resistor-string DAC followed by an output buffer amplifier. The resistor-string section is simply a  
string of resistors, each with a value of R, from REF-x to AGND, as shown in Figure 97. This type of architecture  
provides DAC monotonicity. The 16-bit binary digital code loaded to the DAC latch determines at which node on  
the string the voltage is tapped off before being fed into the output amplifier. The output amplifier multiplies the  
DAC output voltage by a gain of six or four. Using a gain of 6 and power supplies allowing for at least 0.5V  
headroom, the output span is 9V with a 1.5V reference, 18V with a 3V reference, and 30V with a 5V reference.

CHANNEL GROUPS  
The eight DAC channels and two Offset DACs are arranged into two groups (A and B) with four channels and  
one Offset DAC per group. Group A consists of DAC-0, DAC-1, DAC-2, DAC-3, and Offset DAC-A. Group B  
consists of DAC-4, DAC-5, DAC-6, DAC-7, and Offset DAC-B. Group A derives its reference voltage from  
REF-A, and Group B derives its reference voltage from REF-B.

USER-CALIBRATION FOR ZERO-CODE ERROR AND GAIN ERROR  
The DAC8718 implements a digital user-calibration function that allows for trimming gain and zero errors on the  
entire signal chain. This function can eliminate the need for external adjustment circuits. Each DAC channel has  
a Zero Register and Gain Register. Using the correction engine, the data from the Input Data Register are  
operated on by a digital adder and multiplier controlled by the contents of the Zero and Gain registers,  
respectively. The calibrated DAC data are then stored in the DAC Data Register where they are finally  
transferred into the DAC latch and set the DAC output. Each time the data are written to the Input Data Register  
(or to the Gain or Zero registers), the data in the Input Data Register are corrected, and the results automatically  
transferred to the DAC Data Register.  
The range of the gain adjustment coefficient is 0.5 to 1.5. The range of the zero adjustment is –32768 LSB to  
+32767 LSB, or ±50% of full scale.  
There is only one correction engine in the DAC8718, which is shared among all channels.  
If the user-calibration function is not needed, the correction engine can be turned off. Setting the SCE bit in the  
Configuration Register to '0' turns off the correction engine. Setting SCE to '1' enables the correction engine.  
When SCE = '0', the data are directly transferred to the DAC Data Register. In this case, writing to the Gain  
Register or Zero Register updates the Gain and Zero registers but does not start a math engine calculation.  
Reading these registers returns the written values.

For single-supply operation, the OFFSET-A pin must be connected to the AGND-A pin and the OFFSET-B pin  
must be connected to the AGND-B pin through low-impedance connections (see the Layout section for details).  
Offset DAC-A and Offset DAC-B are in a power-down state.  
For dual-supply operation, the OFFSET-A and OFFSET-B default codes for a gain of 6 are 39322 with a ±10  
LSB variation, depending on the linearity of the Offset DACs. The default code for a gain of 4 is 43691 with a ±10  
LSB variation. The default codes of OFFSET-A and OFFSET-B are independently factory trimmed for both gains  
of 6 and 4.  
The power-on default value of the Gain Register is 32768, and the default value of the Zero Register is '0'. The  
DAC input registers are set to a default value of 0000h.  
Note that the maximum output voltage must not be greater than (AVDD – 0.5V) and the minimum output voltage  
must not be less than (AVSS + 0.5V); otherwise, the output may be saturated.

OFFSET DACS  
There are two 16-bit Offset DACs: one for Group A, and one for Group B. The Offset DACs allow the entire  
output curve of the associated DAC groups to be shifted by introducing a programmable offset. This offset allows  
for asymmetric bipolar operation of the DACs or unipolar operation with bipolar supplies. Thus, subject to the  
limitations of headroom, it is possible to set the output range of Group A and/or Group B to be unipolar positive,  
unipolar negative, symmetrical bipolar, or asymmetrical bipolar, as shown in Table 5 and Table 6. Increasing the  
digital input codes for the offset DAC shifts the outputs of the associated channels in the negative direction. The  
default codes for the Offset DACs in the DAC8718 are factory trimmed to provide optimal offset and gain  
performance for the default output range and span of symmetric bipolar operation. When the output range is  
adjusted by changing the value of the Offset DAC, an extra offset is introduced as a result of the linearity and  
offset errors of the Offset DAC. Therefore, the actual shift in the output span may vary slightly from the ideal  
calculations. For optimal offset and gain performance in the default symmetric bipolar operation, the Offset DAC  
input codes should not be changed from the default power-on values. The maximum allowable offset depends on  
the reference and the power supply. If INPUT_CODE from Equation 1 or DAC_DATA_CODE from Equation 2 is  
set to 0, then these equations simplify to Equation 3:  
OFFSETDAC_CODE  
VOUT = -VREF ´ (Gain - 1) ´  
65536  
(3)  
This equation shows the transfer function of the Offset DAC to the output of the DAC channels. In any case, the  
analog output must not go beyond the specified range shown in the Analog Outputs section. After power-on or  
reset, the Offset DAC is set to the value defined by the selected data format and the selected analog output  
voltage. If the DAC gain setting is changed, the offset DAC code is reset to the default value corresponding to  
the new DAC gain setting. Refer to the Power-On Reset and Hardware Reset sections for details.  
For single-supply operation (AVSS = 0V), the Offset DAC is turned off, and the output amplifier is in a Hi-Z state.  
The OFFSET-x pin must be connected to the AGND-x pin through a low-impedance connection (see the Layout  
section for details). For dual-supply operation, this pin provides the output of the Offset DAC. The OFFSET-x pin  
is not intended to drive an external load. See Figure 98 for the internal Offset DAC and output amplifier  
configuration.

The output amplifiers can swing to 0.5V below the positive supply and 0.5V above the negative supply. This  
condition limits how much the output can be offset for a given reference voltage. The maximum range of the  
output for ±17V power and a +5.5V reference is –16.5V to +16.5V for gain = 6.  
Each output amplifier is implemented with individual over-current protection. The amplifier is clamped at 8mA,

GENERAL-PURPOSE INPUT/OUTPUT PINS (GPIO-0 to GPIO-2)  
The GPIO pins are general-purpose, bidirectional, digital input/outputs, as shown in Figure 99. When a GPIO pin  
acts as an output, the pin status is determined by the corresponding GPIO bit in the GPIO Register. The pin  
output is high-impedance when the GPIO bit is set to '1', and is logic low when the GPIO bit is cleared to '0'.  
Note that a pull-up resistor to IOVDD is required when using a GPIO pin as an output. When a GPIO pin acts as  
an input, the digital value on the pin is acquired by reading the corresponding GPIO bit. After power-on reset, or  
any forced hardware or software reset, the GPIO bits are set to '1', and the GPIO pins are in a high-impedance  
state. If not used, the GPIO pins must be tied to either DGND or to IOVDD through a pull-up resistor. Leaving the  
GPIO pins floating can cause high IOVDD supply currents.

ANALOG OUTPUT PIN (CLR)  
The CLR pin is an active low input that should be high for normal operation. When this pin is in logic '0', all VOUT  
outputs connect to AGND-x through internal 15kresistors and are cleared to 0V, and the output buffer is in a  
Hi-Z state. While CLR is low, all LDAC pulses are ignored. When CLR is taken high again while the LDAC is  
high, the DAC outputs remain cleared until LDAC is taken low. However, if LDAC is tied low, taking CLR back to  
high sets the DAC output to the level defined by the value of the DAC latch. The contents of the Zero Registers,  
Gain Registers, Input Data Registers, DAC Data Registers, and DAC latches are not affected by taking CLR low.

POWER-ON RESET  
The DAC8718 contains a power-on reset circuit that controls the output during power-on and power down. This  
feature is useful in applications where the known state of the DAC output during power-on is important. The  
Offset DAC Registers, DAC Data Registers, and DAC latches are loaded with the value defined by the RSTSEL  
pin, as shown in Table 7. The Gain Registers and Zero Registers are loaded with default values. The Input Data  
Register is reset to 0000h, independent of the RSTSEL state.

HARDWARE RESET  
When the RST pin is low, the device is in hardware reset. All the analog outputs (VOUT-0 to VOUT-7), the DAC  
registers, and the DAC latches are set to the reset values defined by the RSTSEL pin as shown in Table 7 and  
Table 8. In addition, the Gain and Zero Registers are loaded with default values, communication is disabled, and  
the signals on CS and SDI are ignored (note that SDO is in a high-impedance state). The Input Data Register is  
reset to 0000h, independent of the RSTSEL state. On the rising edge of RST, the analog outputs (VOUT-0 to  
VOUT-7) maintain the reset value as defined by the RSTSEL pin until a new value is programmed. After RST  
goes high, the serial interface returns to normal operation. CS must be set to a logic high whenever RST is used.

UPDATING THE DAC OUTPUTS  
Depending on the status of both CS 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. This update  
mode is established at power-on. If asynchronous mode is desired, the LDAC pin must be permanently tied low  
before power is applied to the device. If synchronous mode is desired, LDAC must be logic high before and  
during power-on.  
The DAC8718 updates a DAC latch only if it has been accessed since the last time LDAC was brought low or if  
the LD bit is set to '1', thereby eliminating any unnecessary glitch. Any DAC channels that were not accessed are  
not loaded again. When the DAC latch is updated, the corresponding output changes to the new level  
immediately.  
Asynchronous Mode  
In this mode, the LDAC pin is set low at power-up. This action places the DAC8718 into Asynchronous mode,  
and the LD bit and LDAC signal are ignored. When the correction engine is off (SCE bit = '0'), the DAC Data  
Registers and DAC latches are updated immediately when CS goes high. When the correction engine is on (SCE  
bit = '1'), each DAC latch is updated individually when the correction engine updates the corresponding DAC  
Data Register.  
Synchronous Mode  
To use this mode, set LDAC high before CS goes low, and then take LDAC low or set the LD bit to '1' after CS  
goes high. If LDAC goes low or if the LD bit is set to '1' when SCE = '0', all DAC latches are updated  
simultaneously. If LDAC goes low or if the LD bit is set to '1' when SCE = '1', all DAC latches are updated  
simultaneously after the correction engine has updated the corresponding DAC register.  
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 (or by setting the LD bit in the Configuration Register to '1') any  
time after the delay of t9 from the rising edge of CS. If the timing requirement of t9 is not satisfied, invalid data are  
loaded. Refer to the Timing Diagrams and the Configuration Register (Table 11) for details.

MONITOR OUTPUT PIN (VMON  
)
The VMON pin is the channel monitor output. It can be either high-impedance or monitor any one of the DAC  
outputs, auxiliary analog inputs, offset DAC outputs, or reference buffer outputs. The channel monitor function  
consists of an analog multiplexer addressed via the serial interface, allowing any channel output, reference buffer  
output, auxiliary analog inputs, or offset DAC output to be routed to the VMON pin for monitoring using an external  
ADC. The monitor function is controlled by the Monitor Register, which allows the monitor output to be enabled  
or disabled. When disabled, the monitor output is high-impedance; therefore, several monitor outputs may be  
connected in parallel with only one enabled at a time.  
Note that the multiplexer is implemented as a series of analog switches. Care should be taken to ensure the  
maximum current from the VMON pin must not be greater than the given specification because this could  
conceivably cause a large amount of current to flow from the input of the multiplexer (that is, from VOUT-X) to the  
output of the multiplexer (VMON). Refer to the Monitor Register section and Table 12 for more details.  
ANALOG INPUT PINS (AIN-0 and AIN-1)  
Pins AIN-0 and AIN-1 are two analog inputs that directly connect to the analog mux of the analog monitor output.  
When AIN-0 or AIN-1 is accessed, it is routed via the mux to the VMON pin. Thus, one external ADC channel can  
monitor eight DACs plus two extra external analog signals, AIN-0 and AIN-1.  
POWER-DOWN MODE  
The DAC8718 is implemented with a power-down function to reduce power consumption. Either the entire device  
or each individual group can be put into power-down mode. If the proper power-down bit (PD-x) in the  
Configuration Register is set to '1', the individual group is put into power down mode. During power-down mode,  
the analog outputs (VOUT-0 to VOUT-7) connect to AGND-X through an internal 15kΩ resistor, and the output  
buffer is in Hi-Z status. When the entire device is in power-down, the bus interface remains active in order to  
continue communication and receive commands from the host controller, but all other circuits are powered down.  
The host controller can wake the device from power-down mode and return to normal operation by clearing the  
PD-x bit; it takes 200μs or less for recovery to complete.  
POWER-ON RESET SEQUENCING  
The DAC8718 permanently latches the status of some of the digital pins at power-on. These digital levels should  
be well-defined before or while the digital supply voltages are applied. Therefore, it is advised to have a pull up  
resistor to IOVDD for the digital initialization pins (LDAC, CLR, RST, CS, and RSTSEL) to ensure that these levels  
are set correctly while the digital supplies are raised.  
For proper power-on initialization of the device, IOVDD and the digital pins must be applied before or at the same  
time as DVDD. If possible, it is preferred that IOVDD and DVDD can be connected together in order to simplify the  
supply sequencing requirements. Pull-up resistors should go to either supply. AVDD should be applied after the  
digital supplies (IOVDD and DVDD) and digital initialization pins (LDAC, CLR, RST, CS, and RSTSEL). AVSS can  
be applied at the same time as or after AVDD. The REF-x pins must be applied last.

SBAS467A MAY 2009REVISED DECEMBER 2009  
SERIAL INTERFACE  
The DAC8718 is controlled over a versatile, three-wire serial interface that operates at clock rates of up to  
50MHz and is compatible with SPI, QSPI™, Microwire™, and DSP™ standards.  
SPI Shift Register  
The SPI Shift Register is 24 bits wide. Data are loaded into the device MSB first as a 24-bit word under the  
control of the serial clock input, SCLK. The SPI Shift Register consists of a read/write bit, five register address  
bits, 16 data bits, and two reserve bits for future devices, as shown in Table 9. The falling edge of CS starts the  
communication cycle. The data are latched into the SPI Shift Register on the falling edge of SCLK while CS is  
low. When CS is high, the SCLK and SDI signals are blocked and the SDO pin is in a high-impedance state. The  
contents of the SPI shifter register are decoded and transferred to the proper internal registers on the rising edge  
of CS. The timing for this operation is shown in the Timing Diagrams section.  
The serial interface works with both a continuous and non-continuous serial clock. A continuous SCLK source  
can only be used if CS is held low for the correct number of clock cycles. In gated clock mode, a burst clock  
containing the exact number of clock cycles must be used and CS must be taken high after the final clock in  
order to latch the data.  
The serial interface requires CS to be logic high during the power-on sequencing; therefore, it is advised to have  
a pullup resistor to IOVDD on the CS pin. Refer to the Power-On Reset Sequencing section for further details.  
Stand-Alone Operation  
The serial clock can be a continuous or a gated clock. The first falling edge of CS starts the operation cycle.  
Exactly 24 falling clock edges must be applied before CS is brought back high again. If CS 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 CS 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 CS. In order for another serial transfer to take  
place, CS must be brought low again.  
When the data have been transferred into the chosen register of the addressed DAC, all DAC latches and analog  
outputs can be updated by taking LDAC low.  
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 in system diagnostics and in reducing the number of serial  
interface lines. Note that before daisy-chain operation can begin, the SDO pin must be enabled by setting the  
SDO disable bit (DSDO) in the Configuration Register to '0'; this bit is cleared by default.  
The DAC8718 provides two modes for daisy-chain operation: normal and sleep. The SLEEP bit in the SPI Mode  
register determines which mode is used.  
In Normal mode (SLEEP bit = '0'), the data clocked into the SDI pin are transferred into the Shift Register. The  
first falling edge of CS starts the operating cycle. SCLK is continuously applied to the SPI Shift Register when CS  
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 SDI 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 DAC8718s in the chain. When the serial transfer to all devices  
is complete, CS is taken high. This action latches the data from the SPI Shift Registers to the device internal  
registers for each device in the daisy-chain, and prevents any further data from being clocked in. The serial clock  
can be a continuous or a gated clock. Note that a continuous SCLK source can only be used if CS 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 CS must be taken high after the final clock in order to latch the data.  
In Sleep mode (SLEEP bit = '1'), the data clocked into SDI are routed to the SDO pin directly; the Shift Register  
is bypassed. The first falling edge of CS starts the operating cycle. When SCLK is continuously applied with CS  
low, the data clocked into the SDI pin appear on the SDO pin almost immediately (with approximately a 5 ns  
delay; see the Timing Diagrams section); there is no 24 clock delay, as there is in normal operting mode. While  
in Sleep 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 Sleep mode eliminates the 24 clock delay from SDI to SDO caused by the

Shift Register, thus greatly speeding up the data transfer. For example, consider three DAC8718s (A, B, and C)  
in a daisy-chain configuration. The data from the SPI controller are transferred first to A, then to B, and finally to  
C. In normal daisy-chain operation, a total of 72 clocks are needed to transfer one word to C. However, if A and  
B are placed into Sleep mode, the first 24 data bits are directly transferred to C (through A and B); therefore, only  
24 clocks are needed.  
To wake the device up from sleep mode and return to normal operation, either one of following methods can be  
used:  
1. Pull the WAKEUP pin low, which forces the SLEEP bit to '0' and returns the device to normal operating  
mode.  
2. Use the W2 bit and the CS pin.  
When the W2 bit = '1', if CS is applied with no more than one falling edge of SCLK, then the rising edge of CS  
wakes the device from sleep mode back to normal operation. However, the device will not wake-up if more than  
one falling edge of SCLK exists while CS is low.  
Read-Back Operation  
The READ command is used to start read-back operation. However, before read-back operation can be initiated,  
the SDO pin must be enabled by setting the DSDO bit in the Configuration Register to '0'; this bit is cleared by  
default. Read-back operation is then started by executing a READ command (R/W bit = '1', see Table 9). Bits A4  
to A0 in the READ command select the register to be read. The remaining data in the command are don’t care  
bits. During the next SPI operation, the data appearing on the SDO output are from the previously addressed  
register. For a read of a single register, a NOP command can be used to clock out the data from the selected  
register on SDO. Multiple registers can be read if multiple READ commands are issued. The readback diagram  
in Figure 100 shows the read-back sequence.

When A/B = '1', reading DAC-x returns the value in the DAC Data Register.  
When the correction engine is enabled, the data returned from the Input Data Register is the original data written to the  
bus, and the value in the DAC Data Register is the corrected data.  
Synchronously update DACs bit.  
When LDAC is tied high, setting LD = '1' at any time after the write operation and the correction process complete  
synchronously updates all DAC latches with the content of the corresponding DAC Data Register, and sets VOUT to a new  
level. The DAC8718 updates the DAC latch only if it has been accessed since the last time LDAC was brought low or the  
LD bit was set to '1', thereby eliminating unnecessary glitch. Any DACs that were not accessed are not reloaded. After  
updating, the bit returns to '0'. When the correction engine is turned off, bit LD can be set to '1' any time after the writing  
operation is complete; the DAC latch is immediately updated when bit LD is set. When the LDAC pin is tied low, this bit is  
ignored.

D13  
D12  
RST  
0

Set the RST bit to '1' to reset the device; functions the same as a hardware reset. After reset completes, the RST bit  
returns to '0'.  
Power-down bit for Group A (DAC-0, DAC-1, DAC-2, and DAC-3).  
Setting the PD-A bit to '1' places Group A (DAC-0, DAC-1, DAC-2, and DAC-3) into power-down operation. All output  
buffers are in Hi-Z and all analog outputs (VOUT-X) connect to AGND-A through an internal 15-kresistor. The interface is  
still active.  
PD-A  
Setting the PD-A bit to '0' returns group A to normal operation.  
Power-down bit for Group B (DAC-4, DAC-5, DAC-6, and DAC-7).  
Setting the PD-B bit to '1' places Group B (DAC-4, DAC-5, DAC-6, and DAC-7) into power-down operation. All output  
buffers are in Hi-Z and all analog outputs (VOUT-X) connect to AGND-B through an internal 15-kresistor. The interface is  
still active.

PD-B  
SCE

0
Setting the PD-B bit to '0' returns group B to normal operation.  
System-calibration enable bit.  
Set the SCE bit to '1' to enable the correction engine. When the engine is enabled, the input data are adjusted by the  
correction engine according to the contents of the corresponding Gain Register and Zero Register. The results are  
transferred to the corresponding DAC Data Register, and finally loaded into the DAC latch, which sets the VOUT-x pin  
output level.  
Set the SCE bit to '0' to turn off the correction engine. When the engine is turned off, the input data are transferred to the  
corresponding DAC Data Register immediately, and then loaded into the DAC latch, which sets the output voltage. Refer  
to the User Calibration for Zero-Code Error and Gain Error section for details.

Set the DSDO bit to '0' to enable the SDO pin (default). The SDO pin works as a normal SPI output.  
Set the DSDO bit to '1' to disable the SDO pin. The SDO pin is always in a Hi-Z state no matter what the status of the CS  
pin is.  
No operation bit.  
During a write operation, setting the NOP bit to '1' has no effect (the bit returns to '0' when the write operation completes).  
Setting the NOP bit to '0', returns the device to normal operation.  
During a read operation, the bit always returns “0”  
Second wake-up operation bit.  
If the WAKEUP pin is high, an alternative method to wake-up the device from sleep in SPI is by using the CS pin. When  
W2 = '1', the rising edge of CS restores the device from sleep mode to normal operation, if no more than one falling edge  
of SCLK exists while CS is low. However, the device will not wake up if more than one falling edge of SCLK exists. Setting  
the W2 bit to '0' disables this function, and the rising edge of CS does not wake up the device.  
If the WAKEUP is low, this bit is ignored and the device is always in normal mode.

DAC outputs to be monitored through the VMON pin. When bits [D15:D4] = '0', the monitor is disabled and VMON is  
in a Hi-Z state.  
Note that if any value is written other than those specified in Table 12, the Monitor Register stores the invalid  
value; however, the VMON pin is forced into a Hi-Z state.

GPIO-2:0 For write operations, the GPIO-n pin operates as an output. Writing a '1' to the GPIO-n bit sets the  
GPIO-n pin to high impedance, and writing a '0' sets the GPIO-n pin to logic low. An external  
pull-up resistor is required when using the GPIO-n pin as an output.  
For read operations, the GPIO-n pin operates as an input. Read the GPIO-n bit to receive the  
status of the corresponding GPIO-n pin. Reading a '0' indicates that the GPIO-n pin is low, and  
reading a '1' indicates that the GPIO-n pin is high.  
After power-on reset, or any forced hardware or software reset, all GPIO-n bits are set to '1', and  
the GPIO pins are in a high impedance state.

Offset DAC-A/B Registers (default = 999Ah for dual supplies or 0000h for single supplies).  
The Offset DAC-A and Offset DAC-B registers contain, by default, the factory-trimmed Offset DAC code  
providing optimal offset and span for symmetric bipolar operation when dual supplies are detected, and contain  
code 0000h when a single supply is detected.

For dual-supply operation, the default code for a gain of 6 is 999Ah with a ±10 LSB variation,  
depending on the linearity of each Offset DAC. The default code for a gain of 4 is AAABh with a  
±10 LSB variation. The default codes of Offset DAC-A and Offset DAC-B registers are  
independently factory trimmed for both gains of 6 and 4.  
When single-supply operation is present, writing to these registers is ignored and reading returns  
0000h. When dual-supply operation is present, updating the GAIN-A (GAIN-B) bit on the  
configuration register automatically reloads the factory-trimmed code into the Offset DAC-A (Offset  
DAC-B) register for the new GAIN-A (GAIN-B) setting. See the Offset DACs for further details.

SLEEP  
Set the SLEEP bit to '1' to put the device into SPI sleep mode.  
When the SLEEP bit = '0', the SPI is in normal mode. The bit is cleared ('0') after a hardware reset  
(through the RST pin) or if the WAKEUP pin is low.  
For normal SPI operation, the data entering the SDI pin is transferred into the Shift Register.  
However, for SPI sleep mode, the Shift Register is bypassed. The data entering into the SDI pin  
are directly transferred to the SDO pin instead of the Shift Register.  
BLANKSPACE  
Broadcast Register.  
The DAC8718 broadcast register can be used to update all eight DAC register channels simultaneously using  
data bits D15:D0. This write-only register uses address A4:A0 = 07h, and is only available when the SCE bit = '0'  
(default). If the SCE bit = '1', this register is ignored. Reading this register always returns 0000h.  
BLANKSPACE  
Input Data Register for DAC-n, where n = 0 to 7 (default = 0000h).  
This register stores the DAC data written to the device when the SCE bit = '1' and is controlled by the correction  
engine. When the SCE bit = '0' (default), the DAC Data Register stores the DAC data written to the device. When  
the data are loaded into the corresponding DAC latch, the DAC output changes to the new level defined by the  
DAC latch. The default value after power-on or reset is 0000h.

APPLICATION INFORMATION  
BASIC OPERATION  
The DAC8718 is a highly-integrated device with high-performance reference buffers and output buffers, greatly  
reducing the printed circuit board (PCB) area and production cost. On-chip reference buffers eliminate the need  
for a negative external reference. Figure 101 shows a basic application for the DAC8718.

SBAS467A MAY 2009REVISED DECEMBER 2009

PRECISION VOLTAGE REFERENCE SELECTION  
To achieve the optimum performance from the DAC8718 over the full operating temperature range, a precision  
voltage reference must be used. Careful consideration should be given to the selection of a precision voltage  
reference. The DAC8718 has two reference inputs, REF-A and REF-B. The voltages applied to the reference  
inputs are used to provide a buffered positive reference for the DAC cores. Therefore, any error in the voltage  
reference is reflected in the outputs of the device. There are four possible sources of error to consider when  
choosing a voltage reference for high-accuracy applications: initial accuracy, temperature coefficient of the output  
voltage, long-term drift, and output voltage noise. Initial accuracy error on the output voltage of an external  
reference can lead to a full-scale error in the DAC. Therefore, to minimize these errors, a reference with low  
initial accuracy error specification is preferred. Long-term drift is a measure of how much the reference output  
voltage drifts over time. A reference with a tight, long-term drift specification ensures that the overall solution  
remains relatively stable over its entire lifetime. The temperature coefficient of a reference output voltage affects  
the output drift when the temperature changes. Choose a reference with a tight temperature coefficient  
specification to reduce the dependence of the DAC output voltage on ambient conditions. In high-accuracy  
applications, which have a relatively low noise budget, the reference output voltage noise also must be  
considered. Choosing a reference with as low an output noise voltage as practical for the required system  
resolution is important. Precision voltage references such as TI's REF50xx (2V to 5V) and REF32xx (1.25V to  
4V) provide a low-drift, high-accuracy reference voltage.  
POWER-SUPPLY NOISE  
The DAC8718 must have ample supply bypassing of 1μF to 10μF in parallel with 0.1μF on each supply, located  
as close to the package as possible; ideally, immediately next to the device. The 1μF to 10μF capacitors must be  
the tantalum-bead type. The 0.1μF capacitor must have low effective series resistance (ESR) and low effective  
series inductance (ESI), such as common ceramic types, which provide a low-impedance path to ground at high  
frequencies to handle transient currents because of internal logic switching. The power-supply lines must be as  
large a trace as possible to provide low-impedance paths and reduce the effects of glitches on the power-supply  
line. Apart from these considerations, the wideband noise on the AVDD, AVSS, DVDD and IOVDD supplies should  
be filtered before feeding to the DAC to obtain the best possible noise performance.  
LAYOUT  
Precision analog circuits require careful layout, adequate bypassing, and a clean, well-regulated power supply to  
obtain the best possible dc and ac performance. Careful consideration of the power-supply and ground-return  
layout helps to meet the rated performance. DGND is the return path for digital currents and AGND is the power  
ground for the DAC. For the best ac performance, care should be taken to connect DGND and AGND with very  
low resistance back to the supply ground. The PCB must be designed so that the analog and digital sections are  
separated and confined to certain areas of the board. If multiple devices require an AGND-to-DGND connection,  
the connection is to be made at one point only. The star ground point is established as close as possible to the  
device.  
The power-supply traces must be as large as possible to provide low impedance paths and reduce the effects of  
glitches on the power-supply line. Fast switching signals must never be run near the reference inputs. It is  
essential to minimize noise on the reference inputs because it couples through to the DAC output. Avoid  
crossover of digital and analog signals. Traces on opposite sides of the board must run at right angles to each  
other. This configuration reduces the effects of feedthrough on the board. A microstrip technique may be  
considered, but is not always possible with a double-sided board. In this technique, the component side of the  
board is dedicated to the ground plane, and signal traces are placed on the solder-side.  
Each DAC group has a ground pin, AGND-x, which is the ground of the output from the DACs in the group. It  
must be connected directly to the corresponding reference ground in low-impedance paths to get the best  
performance. AGND-A must be connected with REFGND-A and AGND-B must be connected with REFGND-B.  
AGND-A and AGND-B must be tied together and connected to the analog power ground and DGND.  
During single-supply operation, the OFFSET-x pins must be connected to AGND-x with a low-impedance path  
because these pins carry DAC-code-dependent current. Any resistance from OFFSET-x to AGND-x causes a  
voltage drop by this code-dependent current. Therefore, it is very important to minimize routing resistance to  
AGND-x or to any ground plane that AGND-x is connected to.
