Daisy-Chain Mode
Readback Function
Industry-Standard Pin Configuration
This DAC uses a double-buffered 3-wire serial
interface that is compatible with SPI, QSPI™,
MICROWIRE, and most DSP interface standards. In
addition, a serial data out pin (SDO) allows for daisychaining when multiple devices are used. Data
readback allows the user to read the contents of the
DAC register via the SDO pin. On power-up, the
internal shift register and latches are filled with zeroes
and the DAC outputs are at zero scale.
The
DAC7811
offers
excellent
4-quadrant
multiplication characteristics, with large signal
multiplying bandwidth of 10 MHz. The applied
external reference input voltage (VREF) determines
the full-scale output current. An integrated feedback
resistor (RFB) provides temperature tracking and fullscale voltage output when combined with an external
current-to-voltage precision amplifier.

Ground pin.
4
SCLK
I
Serial Clock Input. By default, data is clocked into the input shift register on the falling edge of the
serial clock input. Alternatively, by means of the serial control bits, the device may be configured such
that data is clocked into the shift register on the rising edge of SCLK.
5
SDIN
I
Serial Data Input. Data is clocked into the 16-bit input register on the active edge of the serial clock
input. By default, on power-up, data is clocked into the shift register on the falling edge of SCLK. The
control bits allow the user to change the active edge to the rising edge.
I
Active Low Control Input. This is the frame synchronization signal for the input data. When SYNC
goes low, it powers on the SCLK and DIN buffers, and the input shift register is enabled. Data is
loaded to the shift register on the active edge of the following clocks (power-on default is falling clock
edge). In stand-alone mode, the serial interface counts the clocks and data is latched to the shift
register on the 16th active clock edge.
SDO
O
Serial Data Output. This allows a number of parts to be daisy-chained. By default, data is clocked into
the shift register on the falling edge and out via SDO on the rising edge of SCLK. Data will always be
clocked out on the alternate edge to loading data to the shift register. Writing the Readback control
word to the shift register makes the DAC register contents available for readback on the SDO pin,
clocked out on the opposite edges to the active clock edge.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The DAC7811 is a CMOS, 12-bit, current output digital-to-analog converter (DAC). This device operates from a
2.7-V to 5.5-V power supply, making it suitable for battery-powered and many other applications. This DAC uses
a double-buffered 3-wire serial interface that is compatible with SPI, QSPI™, MICROWIRE, and most DSP
interface standards. In addition, a serial data out pin (SDO) allows for daisy-chaining when multiple devices are
used. Data readback allows the user to read the contents of the DAC register via the SDO pin. On power-up, the
internal shift register and latches are filled with zeroes and the DAC outputs are at zero scale.

7.3 Feature Description
The DAC7811 is a single channel, current output, 12-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The architecture,
illustrated in Figure 25, is an R-2R ladder configuration with the three MSBs segmented. Each 2R leg of the
ladder is either switched to IOUT1 or the IOUT2 terminal. The IOUT1 terminal of the DAC is held at a virtual GND
potential by the use of an external I/V converter op amp. The R-2R ladder is connected to an external reference
input VREF that determines the DAC full-scale current. The R-2R ladder presents a code independent load
impedance to the external reference of 10kΩ ±20%. The external reference voltage can vary over a range of
–15V to +15V, thus providing bipolar IOUT current operation. By using an external I/V converter and the DAC7811
RFB resistor, output voltage ranges of –VREF to VREF can be generated.

Each DAC code determines the 2R leg switch position to either GND or IOUT. Because the DAC output
impedance as seen looking into the IOUT1 terminal changes versus code, the external I/V converter noise gain
will also change. Because of this, the external I/V converter op amp must have a sufficiently low offset voltage
such that the amplifier offset is not modulated by the DAC IOUT1 terminal impedance change. External op amps
with large offset voltages can produce INL errors in the transfer function of the DAC7811 due to offset
modulation versus DAC code.
For best linearity performance of the DAC7811, a low offset voltage op amp (such as the OPA277) is
recommended (see Figure 26). This circuit allows VREF swinging from –10 V to 10 V.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Serial Interface
The DAC7811 has a 3-wire serial interface (SYNC, SCLK, and SDIN), which is compatible with SPI, QSPI, and
MICROWIRE interface standards as well as most Digital Signal Processor (DSP) devices. See the Serial Write
Operation timing diagram (Figure 28) for an example of a typical write sequence. The write sequence begins by
bringing the SYNC line low. Data from the DIN line are clocked into the 16-bit shift register on the falling edge of
SCLK. The serial clock frequency can be as high as 50MHz, making the DAC7811 compatible with high-speed
DSPs. The SDIN and SCLK input buffers are gated off while SYNC is high which minimizes the power
dissipation of the digital interface. After SYNC goes low, the digital interface will respond to the SDIN and SCLK
input signals and data can now be shifted into the device. If an inactive clock edge occurs after SYNC goes low,
but before the first active clock edge, it will be ignored. If the SDO pin is being used then SYNC must remain low
until after the inactive clock edge that follows the 16th active clock edge.
7.4.2 Input Shift Register
The input shift register is 16 bits wide, as shown in Figure 27. The four MSBs are the control bits C3–C0; these
bits determine which function will be executed at the rising edge of SYNC in daisy-chain mode or the 16th active
clock edge in stand-alone mode. The remaining 12 bits are the data bits. On a load and update command
(C3–C0 = 0001) these 12 data bits will be transferred to the DAC register; otherwise, they have no effect.
Table 1 shows serial shift register and DAC register operation with CLK and SYNC pin settings.

7.4.3 SYNC Interrupt (Stand-Alone Mode)
In a normal write sequence, the SYNC line is kept low for at least 16 falling edges of SCLK and the DAC is
updated on the 16th falling edge. However, if SYNC is brought high before the 16th falling edge, this acts as an
interrupt to the write sequence. The shift register is reset and the write sequence is seen as invalid. Neither an
update of the DAC register contents nor a change in the operating mode occurs.
7.4.4 Daisy-Chain
The DAC7811 powers up in the daisy-chain mode which must be used when two or more devices are connected
in tandem. The SCLK and SYNC signals are shared across all devices while the SDO output of the first device
connects to the SDIN input of the following device, and so forth. In this configuration 16 SCLK cycles for each
DAC7811 in the chain are required. Please refer to the timing diagram of Figure 28.
For n devices in a daisy-chain configuration, 16n SCLK cycles are required to shift in the entire input data
stream. After 16n active SCLK edges are received following a falling SYNC, the data stream becomes complete,
and SYNC can brought high to update n devices simultaneously.
When SYNC is brought high, each device will execute the function defined by the four DAC control bits C3-C0 in
its input shift register. For example, C3-C0 must be 0001 for each DAC in the chain that is to be updated with
new data, and C3-C0 must be 0000 for each DAC in the chain whose contents are to remain unchanged.
A continuous stream containing the exact number of SCLK cycles may be sent first while the SYNC signal is held
low, and then raise SYNC at a later time. Nothing happens until the rising edge of SYNC, and then each
DAC7811 in the chain will execute the function defined by the four DAC control bits C3-C0 in its input shift
register.

7.4.5 Control Bits C3 to C0
Control Bits C3 to C0 allow control of various functions of the DAC; see Table 2. Default settings of the DAC on
powering up are as follows: Data clocked into shift register on falling clock edges; daisy-chain mode is enabled.
The device powers on with zero-scale loaded into the DAC register and IOUT lines. The DAC control bits allow the
user to adjust certain features as part of an initialization sequence; for example, daisy-chaining may be disabled
if not in use, active clock edge may be changed to rising edge, and DAC output may be cleared to either zero or
midscale. The user may also initiate a readback of the DAC register contents for verification purposes.

8 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. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The 2.7-V to 5.5-V supply operation makes the DAC7811 a viable candidate for battery operated applications,
such as waveform generators, programmable amplifiers, and any mobile platforms that may require analog
outputs and processing. Additionally, the large signal multiplying bandwidth of the DAC7811 makes it an
excellent choice for programmable filters and oscillators.
8.1.1 Unipolar Operation Using DAC7811
To generate a positive voltage output, a negative reference is input to the DAC7811. This design is suggested
instead of using an inverting amp to invert the output as a result of resistor tolerance errors. For a negative
reference, VOUT and GND of the reference are level-shifted to a virtual ground and a –2.5-V input to the
DAC7811 with an op amp.

8.1.2 Bipolar Operation Using the DAC7811
The DAC7811, as a 2-quadrant multiplying DAC, can be used to generate a unipolar output. The polarity of the
full-scale output IOUT is the inverse of the input reference voltage at VREF.
Some applications require full 4-quadrant multiplying capabilities or bipolar output swing. As shown in Figure 30,
external op amp U3 is added as a summing amp and has a gain of 2X that widens the output span to 5 V. A 4quadrant multiplying circuit is implemented by using a 2.5-V offset of the reference voltage to bias U3. According
to the circuit transfer equation given in Equation 2, input data (D) from code 0 to full-scale produces output
voltages of VOUT = –2.5 V to VOUT = +2.5 V

8.1.3 Stability Circuit
For a current-to-voltage design (see Figure 31), the DAC7811 current output (IOUT) and the connection with the
inverting node of the op amp should be as short as possible and according to correct printed circuit board (PCB)
layout design practices. For each code change, there is a step function. If the gain bandwidth product (GBP) of
the op amp is limited and parasitic capacitance is excessive at the inverting node, then gain peaking is possible.
Therefore, for circuit stability, a compensation capacitor C1 (1pF to 5pF typ) can be added to the design, as
shown in Figure 31.

8.1.4 Amplifier Selection
There are many choices and many differences in selecting the proper operational amplifier for a multiplying DAC
(MDAC). Making the analog signal out of the MDAC is one critical aspect. However, there are also other issues
to take into account such as amplifier noise, input bias current, and offset voltage, as well as MDAC resolution
and glitch energy. Table 3 and Table 4 suggest some suitable operational amplifiers for low power, fast settling,
and high-speed applications. A greater selection of operational amplifiers can be found at www.ti.com/amplifier.

8.1.5 Programmable Current Source Circuit
A DAC7811 can be integrated into the circuit in Figure 32 to implement an improved Howland current pump for
precise voltage to current conversions. Bidirectional current flow and high voltage compliance are two features of
the circuit. With a matched resistor network, the load current of the circuit is shown by Equation 3:
IL
(R2 R3) / R1
D
u VREF u
R3
4096
(3)
The value of R3 in Equation 3 can be reduced to increase the output current drive of U3. U3 can drive ±20mA in
both directions with voltage compliance limited up to 15V by the U3 voltage supply. Elimination of the circuit
compensation capacitor C1 in the circuit is not suggested as a result of the change in the output impedance ZO,
according to Equation 4:
ZO
R1'R3(R1 R2)
R1(R2' R3') R1'(R2 R3)
(4)
As shown in Equation 4, with matched resistors, ZO is infinite and the circuit is optimum for use as a current
source. However, if unmatched resistors are used, ZO is positive or negative with negative output impedance
being a potential cause of oscillation. Therefore, by incorporating C1 into the circuit, possible oscillation problems
are eliminated. The value of C1 can be determined for critical applications; for most applications, however, a
value of several pF is suggested.

8.2.1.1 Design Requirements
This multiplying DAC (MDAC) circuit outputs unipolar voltages from 0 V to 2.5 V. This design does not require
dual supplies to realize a unipolar, positive output voltage. This design removes the need for a negative supply
rail by applying a bias voltage the output transimpedance stage.
8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The DAC7811 output current is converted into a voltage by including an op-amp in a transimpedance
configuration at the DAC7811 current output terminal. The transimpedance stage creates an output voltage with
opposite polarity to that of VREF and subsequently requires dual supplies. This circuit removes the need of dual
power supplies and uses a single supply to power the circuit.
The transfer function from digital code to output voltage is shown in Equation 5.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The DAC7811 can operate within the specified supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V. The power applied to VDD
should be well regulated and low noise. Switching power supplies and DC-DC converters often have high
frequency glitches or spikes riding on the output voltage. In addition, digital components can create similar highfrequency spikes. This noise can easily couple into the DAC output voltage through various paths between the
power connections and analog output. To further minimize noise from the power supply, a strong
recommendation is to include a 1-µF to 10-µF capacitor and 0.1-µF bypass capacitor. The required supply
current vs Logic Input voltage or temperature is displayed in Typical Characteristics. The power supply must
meet the aforementioned current requirements.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
A precision analog component requires careful layout, the list below provides some insight into good layout
practices.
• All Power Supply pins should be bypassed to ground with a low ESR ceramic bypass capacitor. The typical
recommended bypass capacitance is 0.1 to 0.22-µF ceramic with a X7R or NP0 dielectric.
• Power supplies and VREF bypass capacitors should be placed close to terminals or planes to minimize
inductance and optimize performance.
• A high-quality ceramic type NP0 or X7R is recommended for its optimal performance across temperature, and
very low dissipation factor.
• The digital and analog sections should have proper placement with respect to the digital pins and analog pins
of the DAC9881 device. The separation of analog and digital blocks will allow for better design and practice
as it will ensure less coupling into neighboring blocks, and will minimize the interaction between analog and
digital return currents.
