This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled withappropriate 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 bemore susceptible to damage because small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

The DAC8830 and DAC8831 are single, 16-bit, serial-input, voltage-output DACs. They operate from a singlesupply ranging from 2.7 V to 5 V, and typically consume 5 μA. Data is written to these devices in a 16-bit wordformat, via an SPI serial interface. To ensure a known power-up state, these parts were designed with apower-on reset function. The DAC8830 and DAC8831 are reset to zero code. In unipolar mode, the DAC8830and DAC8831 are reset to 0V, and in bipolar mode, the DAC8831 is reset to –V
REF
. Kelvin sense connectionsfor the reference and analog ground are included on the DAC8831.
The DAC architecture for both devices consists of two matched DAC sections and is segmented. A simplifiedcircuit diagram is shown in Figure 45 . The four MSBs of the 16-bit data word are decoded to drive 15 switches,E1 to E15. Each of these switches connects one of 15 matched resistors to either AGND or V
REF
. The remaining12 bits of the data word drive switches S0 to S11 of a 12-bit voltage mode R-2R ladder network.

THEORY OF OPERATION (continued)
Both devices have a power-on reset function to ensure the output is at a known state upon power up. In theDAC8830 and DAC8831, on power up, the DAC latch and input registers contain all 0s until new data is loadedfrom the input serial shift register. Therefore, after power up, the output from pin V
OUT
of the DAC8830 is 0 V.The output from pin V
OUT
of the DAC8831 is 0 V in unipolar mode and –V
REF
in bipolar mode.
However, the serial register of the DAC8830 and DAC8831 is not cleared on power up, so its contents areundefined. When loading data initially to the device, 16 bits or more should be loaded to prevent erroneous dataappearing on the output. If more than 16 bits are loaded, the last 16 are kept; if less than 16 are loaded, bits willremain from the previous word. If the device must be interfaced with data shorter than 16 bits, the data shouldbe padded with 0s at the LSBs.
The digital interface is standard 3-wire connection compatible with SPI, QSPI, Microwire, and Texas InstrumentsDSP interfaces, which can operate at speeds up to 50 Mbps. The data transfer is framed by CS, the chip selectsignal. The DAC works as a bus slave. The bus master generates the synchronize clock, SCLK, and initiates thetransmission. When CS is high, the DAC is not accessed, and the clock SCLK and serial input data SDI areignored. The bus master accesses the DAC by driving pin CS low. Immediately following the high-to-lowtransition of CS, the serial input data on pin SDI is shifted out from the bus master synchronously on the fallingedge of SCLK, and latched on the rising edge of SCLK into the input shift register, MSB first. The low-to-hightransition of CS transfers the contents of the input shift register to the input register. All data registers are 16 bit.It takes 16 clocks of SCLK to transfer one data word to the parts. To complete a whole data word, CS must gohigh immediately after 16 SCLKs are clocked in. If more than 16 SCLKs are applied during the low state of CS,the last 16 bits are transferred to the input register on the rising edge of CS. However, if CS is not kept lowduring the entire 16 SCLK cycles, data is corrupted. In this case, reload the DAC latch with a new 16-bit word.
In the DAC8830, the contents of the input register are transferred into the DAC latch immediately when the inputregister is loaded, and the DAC output is updated at the same time.
The DAC8831 has an LDAC pin allowing the DAC latch to be updated asynchronously by bringing LDAC lowafter CS goes high. In this case, LDAC must be maintained high while CS is low. If LDAC is tied permanentlylow, the DAC latch is updated immediately after the input register is loaded (caused by the low-to-high transitionof CS).

Output Amplifier Selection
Reference and Ground
Power Supply and Reference Bypassing
DAC8830-EP
DAC8831-EP
SGLS334C AUGUST 2006 REVISED APRIL 2007
For bipolar mode, a precision amplifier should be used, supplied from a dual power supply. This provides the±V
REF
output.
In a single-supply application, selection of a suitable operational amplifier may be more difficult because theoutput swing of the amplifier does not usually include the negative rail; in this case, AGND. This output swingcan result in some degradation of the specified performance unless the application does not use codes near 0.
The selected operational amplifier needs to have low-offset voltage (the DAC LSB is 38 μV with a 2.5-Vreference), eliminating the need for output offset trims. Input bias current should also be low because the biascurrent multiplied by the DAC output impedance (approximately 6.25 k ) adds to the zero-code error.
Rail-to-rail input and output performance is required. For fast settling, the slew rate of the operational amplifiershould not impede the settling time of the DAC. Output impedance of the DAC is constant andcode-independent, but in order to minimize gain errors the input impedance of the output amplifier should be ashigh as possible. The amplifier should also have a 3 dB bandwidth of 1 MHz or greater. The amplifier addsanother time constant to the system, thus increasing the settling time of the output. A higher 3-dB amplifierbandwidth results in a shorter effective settling time of the combined DAC and amplifier.
Since the input impedance is code-dependent, the reference pin should be driven from a low impedance source.The DAC8830 and DAC8831 operate with a voltage reference ranging from 1.25 V to V
DD
. References below1.25 V result in reduced accuracy.
The DAC full-scale output voltage is determined by the reference. Table 1 and Table 2 outline the analog outputvoltage for particular digital codes.
For optimum performance, Kelvin sense connections are provided on the DAC8831. If the application does notrequire separate force and sense lines, they should be tied together close to the package to minimize voltagedrops between the package leads and the internal die.
For accurate high-resolution performance, it is recommended that the reference and supply pins be bypassedwith a 10 μF tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor.
