DAC088S085  
8-Bit Micro Power OCTAL Digital-to-Analog Converter with  
Rail-to-Rail Outputs  
General Description  
Features  
The DAC088S085 is a full-featured, general purpose OCTAL  
8-bit voltage-output digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that  
can operate from a single +2.7V to +5.5V supply and con-  
sumes 1.95 mW at 3V and 4.85 mW at 5V. The DAC088S085  
is packaged in a 16-lead LLP package and a 16-lead TSSOP  
package. The LLP package makes the DAC088S085 the  
smallest OCTAL DAC in its class. The on-chip output ampli-  
fiers allow rail-to-rail output swing and the three wire serial  
interface operates at clock rates up to 40 MHz over the entire  
supply voltage range. Competitive devices are limited to 25  
MHz clock rates at supply voltages in the 2.7V to 3.6V range.  
The serial interface is compatible with standard SPI, QSPI,  
MICROWIRE and DSP interfaces. The DAC088S085 also of-  
fers daisy chain operation where an unlimited number of  
DAC088S085s can be updated simultaneously using a single  
serial interface.

There are two references for the DAC088S085. One refer-  
ence input serves channels A through D while the other  
reference serves channels E through H. Each reference can  
be set independently between 0.5V and VA, providing the  
widest possible output dynamic range. The DAC088S085 has  
a 16-bit input shift register that controls the mode of operation,  
the power-down condition, and the DAC channels' register/  
output value. All eight DAC outputs can be updated simulta-  
neously or individually.

A power-on reset circuit ensures that the DAC outputs power  
up to zero volts and remain there until there is a valid write to  
the device. The power-down feature of the DAC088S085 al-  
lows each DAC to be independently powered with three dif-  
ferent termination options. With all the DAC channels  
powered down, power consumption reduces to less than 0.3  
µW at 3V and less than 1 µW at 5V. The low power consump-  
tion and small packages of the DAC088S085 make it an  
excellent choice for use in battery operated equipment.

The DAC088S085 is one of a family of pin compatible DACs,  
including the 10-bit DAC108S085 and the 12-bit  
DAC128S085. All three parts are offered with the same  
pinout, allowing system designers to select a resolution ap-  
propriate for their application without redesigning their printed  
circuit board. The DAC088S085 operates over the extended  
industrial temperature range of −40°C to +125°C.

Frame Synchronization Input. When this pin goes low, data is  
written into the DAC's input shift register on the falling edges of  
SCLK. After the 16th falling edge of SCLK, a rising edge of SYNC  
causes the DAC to be updated. If SYNC is brought high before the  
15th falling edge of SCLK, the rising edge of SYNC acts as an  
interrupt and the write sequence is ignored by the DAC.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is  
functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed  
specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test  
conditions. Operation of the device beyond the maximum Operating Ratings is not recommended.  
Note 2: All voltages are measured with respect to GND = 0V, unless otherwise specified.  
Note 3: When the input voltage at any pin exceeds 5.5V or is less than GND, the current at that pin should be limited to 10 mA. The 30 mA maximum package  
input current rating limits the number of pins that can safely exceed the power supplies with an input current of 10 mA to three.  
Note 4: The absolute maximum junction temperature (TJmax) for this device is 150°C. The maximum allowable power dissipation is dictated by TJmax, the  
junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA), and the ambient temperature (TA), and can be calculated using the formula PDMAX = (TJmax − TA) / θJA. The values  
for maximum power dissipation will be reached only when the device is operated in a severe fault condition (e.g., when input or output pins are driven beyond  
the operating ratings, or the power supply polarity is reversed). Such conditions should always be avoided.  
Note 5: Human body model is 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kresistor. Machine model is 220 pF discharged through 0 . Charge device model  
simulates a pin slowly acquiring charge (such as from a device sliding down the feeder in an automated assembler) then rapidly being discharged.  
Note 6: Reflow temperature profiles are different for lead-free packages.  
Note 7: The inputs are protected as shown below. Input voltage magnitudes up to 5.5V, regardless of VA, will not cause errors in the conversion result. For  
example, if VA is 3V, the digital input pins can be driven with a 5V logic device.  
30031304  
Note 8: Test limits are guaranteed to National's AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality Level).  
Note 9: This parameter is guaranteed by design and/or characterization and is not tested in production.  
Note 10: This parameter does not represent a condition which the DAC can sustain continuously. See the continuous output current specification for the maximum  
DAC output current per channel.

Specification Definitions  
DIFFERENTIAL NON-LINEARITY (DNL) is the measure of  
the maximum deviation from the ideal step size of 1 LSB,  
which is VREF / 256 = VA / 256.  
MAXIMUM LOAD CAPACITANCE is the maximum capaci-  
tance that can be driven by the DAC with output stability  
maintained.  
DAC-to-DAC CROSSTALK is the glitch impulse transferred  
to a DAC output in response to a full-scale change in the out-  
put of another DAC.  
MONOTONICITY is the condition of being monotonic, where  
the DAC has an output that never decreases when the input  
code increases.  
DIGITAL CROSSTALK is the glitch impulse transferred to a  
DAC output at mid-scale in response to a full-scale change in  
the input register of another DAC.  
MOST SIGNIFICANT BIT (MSB) is the bit that has the largest  
value or weight of all bits in a word. Its value is 1/2 of VA.  
MULTIPLYING BANDWIDTH is the frequency at which the  
output amplitude falls 3dB below the input sine wave on  
VREF1,2 with the DAC code at full-scale.  
DIGITAL FEEDTHROUGH is a measure of the energy inject-  
ed into the analog output of the DAC from the digital inputs  
when the DAC outputs are not updated. It is measured with a  
full-scale code change on the data bus.  
NOISE SPECTRAL DENSITY is the internally generated ran-  
dom noise. It is measured by loading the DAC to mid-scale  
and measuring the noise at the output.  
FULL-SCALE ERROR is the difference between the actual  
output voltage with a full scale code (FFh) loaded into the DAC  
and the value of VA x 255 / 256.  
POWER EFFICIENCY is the ratio of the output current to the  
total supply current. The output current comes from the power  
supply. The difference between the supply and output cur-  
rents is the power consumed by the device without a load.  
GAIN ERROR is the deviation from the ideal slope of the  
transfer function. It can be calculated from Zero and Full-  
Scale Errors as GE = FSE - ZE, where GE is Gain error, FSE  
is Full-Scale Error and ZE is Zero Error.  
SETTLING TIME is the time for the output to settle to within  
1/2 LSB of the final value after the input code is updated.  
GLITCH IMPULSE is the energy injected into the analog out-  
put when the input code to the DAC register changes. It is  
specified as the area of the glitch in nanovolt-seconds.  
TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION PLUS NOISE (THD+N)  
is the ratio of the harmonics plus the noise present at the out-  
put of the DACs to the rms level of an ideal sine wave applied  
to VREF1,2 with the DAC code at mid-scale.  
INTEGRAL NON-LINEARITY (INL) is a measure of the de-  
viation of each individual code from a straight line through the  
input to output transfer function. The deviation of any given  
code from this straight line is measured from the center of that  
code value. The end point method is used. INL for this product  
is specified over a limited range, per the Electrical Tables.  
WAKE-UP TIME is the time for the output to exit power-down  
mode. This is the time from the rising edge of SYNC to when  
the output voltage deviates from the power-down voltage of  
0V.  
ZERO CODE ERROR is the output error, or voltage, present  
at the DAC output after a code of 00h has been entered.  
LEAST SIGNIFICANT BIT (LSB) is the bit that has the small-  
est value or weight of all bits in a word. This value is  
LSB = VREF / 2n

1.2 OUTPUT AMPLIFIERS  
1.0 Functional Description  
The output amplifiers are rail-to-rail, providing an output volt-  
age range of 0V to VA when the reference is VA. All amplifiers,  
even rail-to-rail types, exhibit a loss of linearity as the output  
approaches the supply rails (0V and VA, in this case). For this  
reason, linearity is specified over less than the full output  
range of the DAC. However, if the reference is less than VA,  
there is only a loss in linearity in the lowest codes.  
1.1 DAC ARCHITECTURE  
The DAC088S085 is fabricated on a CMOS process with an  
architecture that consists of switches and resistor strings that  
are followed by an output buffer. The reference voltages are  
externally applied at VREF1 for DAC channels A through D and  
VREF2 for DAC channels E through H.  
The output amplifiers are capable of driving a load of 2 kin  
parallel with 1500 pF to ground or to VA. The zero-code and  
full-scale outputs for given load currents are available in the  
Electrical Characteristics Table.  
For simplicity, a single resistor string is shown in Figure 3.  
This string consists of 256 equal valued resistors with a switch  
at each junction of two resistors, plus a switch to ground. The  
code loaded into the DAC register determines which switch is  
closed, connecting the proper node to the amplifier. The input  
coding is straight binary with an ideal output voltage of:  
1.3 REFERENCE VOLTAGE  
The DAC088S085 uses dual external references, VREF1 and  
VREF2, that are shared by channels A, B, C, D and channels  
E, F, G, H respectively. The reference pins are not buffered  
and have an input impedance of 30 k. It is recommended  
that VREF1 and VREF2 be driven by voltage sources with low  
output impedance. The reference voltage range is 0.5V to  
VA, providing the widest possible output dynamic range.  
VOUTA,B,C,D = VREF1 x (D / 256)  
VOUTE,F,G,H = VREF2 x (D / 256)  
where D is the decimal equivalent of the binary code that is  
loaded into the DAC register. D can take on any value be-  
tween 0 and 255. This configuration guarantees that the DAC  
is monotonic.  
1.4 SERIAL INTERFACE  
The three-wire interface is compatible with SPI, QSPI and  
MICROWIRE, as well as most DSPs and operates at clock  
rates up to 40 MHz. A valid serial frame contains 16 falling  
edges of SCLK. See the Timing Diagram for information on a  
write sequence.  
A write sequence begins by bringing the SYNC line low. Once  
SYNC is low, the data on the DIN line is clocked into the 16-  
bit serial input register on the falling edges of SCLK. To avoid  
mis-clocking data into the shift register, it is critical that  
SYNC not be brought low on a falling edge of SCLK (see  
minimum and maximum setup times for SYNC in the Timing  
Characteristics and Figure 5). On the 16th falling edge of  
SCLK, the last data bit is clocked into the register. The write  
sequence is concluded by bringing the SYNC line high. Once  
SYNC is high, the programmed function (a change in the DAC  
channel address, mode of operation and/or register contents)  
is executed. To avoid mis-clocking data into the shift register,  
it is critical that SYNC be brought high between the 16th and  
17th falling edges of SCLK (see minimum and maximum hold  
times for SYNC in the Timing Characteristics and Figure 5).  
30031307  
FIGURE 3. DAC Resistor String  
Since all eight DAC channels of the DAC088S085 can be  
controlled independently, each channel consists of a DAC  
register and a 8-bit DAC. Figure 4 is a simple block diagram  
of an individual channel in the DAC088S085. Depending on  
the mode of operation, data written into a DAC register causes  
the 8-bit DAC output to be updated or an additional command  
is required to update the DAC output. Further description of  
the modes of operation can be found in the Serial Interface  
description.  
30031365  
FIGURE 5. CS Setup and Hold Times  
If SYNC is brought high before the 15th falling edge of SCLK,  
the write sequence is aborted and the data that has been  
shifted into the input register is discarded. If SYNC is held low  
beyond the 17th falling edge of SCLK, the serial data pre-  
sented at DIN will begin to be output on DOUT. More informa-  
tion on this mode of operation can be found in the Daisy Chain  
Section. In either case, SYNC must be brought high for the  
minimum specified time before the next write sequence is ini-  
tiated with a falling edge of SYNC.  
30031369  
Since the DIN buffer draws more current when it is high, it  
should be idled low between write sequences to minimize  
power consumption. On the other hand, SYNC should be  
FIGURE 4. Single Channel Block Diagram  
13  
www.national.com  
idled high to avoid the activation of daisy chain operation  
where DOUT is active.  
The serial data output pin, DOUT, is available on the  
DAC088S085 to allow daisy-chaining of multiple  
DAC088S085 devices in a system. In a write sequence,  
DOUT remains low for the first fourteen falling edges of SCLK  
before going high on the fifteenth falling edge. Subsequently,  
the next sixteen falling edges of SCLK will output the first six-  
teen data bits entered into DIN. Figure 7 shows the timing of  
three DAC088S085s in Figure 6. In this instance, It takes  
forty-eight falling edges of SCLK followed by a rising edge of  
SYNC to load all three DAC088S085s with the appropriate  
register data. On the rising edge of SYNC, the programmed  
function is executed in each DAC088S085 simultaneously.  
1.5 DAISY CHAIN OPERATION  
Daisy chain operation allows communication with any number  
of DAC088S085s using a single serial interface. As long as  
the correct number of data bits are input in a write sequence  
(multiple of sixteen bits), a rising edge of SYNC will properly  
update all DACs in the system.  
To support multiple devices in a daisy chain configuration,  
SCLK and SYNC are shared across all DAC088S085s and  
DOUT of the first DAC in the chain is connected to DIN of the  
second. Figure 6 shows three DAC088S085s connected in  
daisy chain fashion. Similar to a single channel write se-  
quence, the conversion for a daisy chain operation begins on  
a falling edge of SYNC and ends on a rising edge of SYNC.  
A valid write sequence for n devices in a chain requires n  
times 16 falling edges to shift the entire input data stream  
through the chain. Daisy chain operation is guaranteed for a  
maximum SCLK speed of 30MHz.

ations are separate from WRM and WTM because they can  
be called upon regardless of the current mode of operation.  
The mode of operation is controlled by the first four bits of the  
control register, DB15 through DB12. See Table 1 for a de-  
tailed summary.  
The DAC088S085 has two modes of operation plus a few  
special command operations. The two modes of operation are  
Write Register Mode (WRM) and Write Through Mode  
(WTM). For the rest of this document, these modes will be  
referred to as WRM and WTM. The special command oper-

When the DAC088S085 first powers up, the DAC is in WRM.  
In WRM, the registers of each individual DAC channel can be  
written to without causing the DAC outputs to be updated.  
This is accomplished by setting DB15 to "0", specifying the  
DAC register to be written to in DB[14:12], and entering the  
new DAC register setting in DB[11:0] (see Table 2).The  
DAC088S085 remains in WRM until the mode of operation is  
changed to WTM. The mode of operation is changed from  
WRM to WTM by setting DB[15:12] to "1001". Once in WTM,  
writing data to a DAC channel's register causes the DAC's  
output to be updated as well. Changing a DAC channel's reg-  
ister in WTM is accomplished in the same manner as it is done  
in WRM. However, in WTM the DAC's register and output are  
updated at the completion of the command (see Table 2).  
Similarly, the DAC088S085 remains in WTM until the mode  
of operation is changed to WRM by setting DB[15:12] to  
"1000".

WTM: ChH's output is updated by data in D[11:0]  
As mentioned previously, the special command operations  
can be exercised at any time regardless of the mode of op-  
eration. There are three special command operations. The  
first command is exercised by setting data bits DB[15:12] to  
"1010". This allows a user to update multiple DAC outputs  
simultaneously to the values currently loaded in their respec-  
tive control registers. This command is valuable if the user  
wants each DAC output to be at a different output voltage but  
still have all the DAC outputs change to their appropriate val-  
ues simultaneously (see Table 3).  
frames, the user would alter the control register values of all  
the DAC channels except channel A while operating in WRM.  
The last write frame would be used to exercise the special  
command "Channel A Write Mode". In addition to updating  
channel A's control register and output to a new value, all of  
the other channels would be updated as well. At the end of  
this sequence of write frames, the DAC088S085 would still  
be operating in WRM (see Table 3).  
The third special command allows the user to set all the DAC  
control registers and outputs to the same level. This com-  
mand is commonly referred to as "broadcast" mode since the  
same data bits are being broadcast to all of the channels si-  
multaneously. This command is exercised by setting data bits  
DB[15:12] to "1100" and data bits DB[7:0] to the value that the  
user wishes to broadcast to all the DAC control registers.  
Once the command is exercised, each DAC output is updated  
by the new control register value. This command is frequently  
used to set all the DAC outputs to some known voltage such  
as 0V, VREF/2, or Full Scale. A summary of the commands  
can be found in Table 3.  
The second special command allows the user to alter the DAC  
output of channel A with a single write frame. This command  
is exercised by setting data bits DB[15:12] to "1011" and data  
bits DB[11:0] to the desired control register value. It also has  
the added benefit of causing the DAC outputs of the other  
channels to update to their current control register values as  
well. A user may choose to exercise this command to save a  
write sequence. For example, the user may wish to update  
several DAC outputs simultaneously, including channel A. In  
order to accomplish this task in the minimum number of write

1.7 POWER-ON RESET  
minations include high output impedance, 100k ohm to  
ground, and 2.5k ohm to ground.  
The power-on reset circuit controls the output voltages of the  
eight DACs during power-up. Upon application of power, the  
DAC registers are filled with zeros and the output voltages are  
set to 0V. The outputs remain at 0V until a valid write se-  
quence is made.  
The output amplifiers, resistor strings, and other linear cir-  
cuitry are all shut down in any of the power-down modes. The  
bias generator, however, is only shut down if all the channels  
are placed in power-down mode. The contents of the DAC  
registers are unaffected when in power-down. Therefore,  
each DAC register maintains its value prior to the  
DAC088S085 being powered down unless it is changed dur-  
ing the write sequence which instructed it to recover from  
power down. Minimum power consumption is achieved in the  
power-down mode with SYNC idled high, DIN idled low, and  
SCLK disabled. The time to exit power-down (Wake-Up Time)  
is typically 3 µsec at 3V and 20 µsec at 5V.  
1.8 POWER-DOWN MODES  
The DAC088S085 has three power-down modes where dif-  
ferent output terminations can be selected (see Table 4). With  
all channels powered down, the supply current drops to 0.1  
µA at 3V and 0.2 µA at 5V. By selecting the channels to be  
powered down in DB[7:0] with a "1", individual channels can  
be powered down separately or multiple channels can be  
powered down simultaneously. The three different output ter-

update Channel A's DAC register and output. This special  
command has the added benefit of updating all DAC outputs  
while updating Channel A. With this sequence of commands,  
the user was able to update four channels simultaneously with  
four steps. A summary of this command can be found in Table  
3.  
2.0 Applications Information  
2.1 EXAMPLES PROGRAMMING THE DAC088S085  
This section will present the step-by-step instructions for pro-  
gramming the serial input register.  
2.1.1 Updating DAC Outputs Simultaneously  
2.1.2 Updating DAC Outputs Independently  
When the DAC088S085 is first powered on, the DAC is op-  
erating in Write Register Mode (WRM). Operating in WRM  
allows the user to program the registers of multiple DAC  
channels without causing the DAC outputs to be updated. As  
an example, here are the steps for setting Channel A to a full  
scale output, Channel B to three-quarters full scale, Channel  
C to half-scale, Channel D to one-quarter full scale and having  
all the DAC outputs update simultaneously.  
If the DAC088S085 is currently operating in WRM, change  
the mode of operation to WTM by writing "9XXX" to the control  
register. Once the DAC is operating in WTM, any DAC chan-  
nel can be updated in one step. For example, if a design  
required Channel G to be set to half scale, the user can write  
"6800" to the control register and Channel G's data register  
and DAC output will be updated. Similarly, if Channel F's out-  
put needed to be set to full scale, "5FF0" would need to be  
written to the control register. Channel A is the only channel  
that has a special command that allows its DAC output to be  
updated in one command regardless of the mode of opera-  
tion. Setting Channel A's DAC output to full scale could be  
accomplished in one step by writing "BFFF" to the control  
register.  
As stated previously, the DAC088S085 powers up in WRM.  
If the device was previously operating in Write Through Mode  
(WTM), an extra step to set the DAC into WRM would be re-  
quired. First, the DAC registers need to be programmed to the  
desired values. To set Channel A to an output of full scale,  
write "0FF0" to the control register. This will update the data  
register for Channel A without updating the output of Channel  
A. Second, set Channel B to an output of three-quarters full  
scale by writing "1C00" to the control register. This will update  
the data register for Channel B. Once again, the output of  
Channel B and Channel A will not be updated since the DAC  
is operating in WRM. Third, set Channel C to half scale by  
writing "2800" to the control register. Fourth, set Channel D  
to one-quarter full scale by writing "3400" to the control reg-  
ister. Finally, update all four DAC channels simultaneously by  
writing "A00F" to the control register. This procedure allows  
the user to update four channels simultaneously with five  
steps.  
2.2 USING REFERENCES AS POWER SUPPLIES  
While the simplicity of the DAC088S085 implies ease of use,  
it is important to recognize that the path from the reference  
input (VREF1,2) to the DAC outputs will have zero Power Sup-  
ply Rejection Ratio (PSRR). Therefore, it is necessary to  
provide a noise-free supply voltage to VREF1,2. In order to uti-  
lize the full dynamic range of the DAC088S085, the supply  
pin (VA) and VREF1,2 can be connected together and share the  
same supply voltage. Since the DAC088S085 consumes very  
little power, a reference source may be used as the reference  
input and/or the supply voltage. The advantages of using a  
reference source over a voltage regulator are accuracy and  
stability. Some low noise regulators can also be used. Listed  
below are a few reference and power supply options for the  
DAC088S085.  
Since Channel A was one of the DACs to be updated, one  
command step could have been saved by writing to Channel  
A last. This is accomplished by writing to Channel B, C, and  
D first and using the special command "Channel A Write" to

2.2.1 LM4132  
R(max) = ( VIN(min) − VZ(max) ) / ( (IDAC(max) + IZ(min) )  
The LM4132, with its ±0.05% accuracy over temperature, is  
a good choice as a reference source for the DAC088S085.  
The 4.096V version is useful if a 0V to 4.095V output range  
is desirable. Bypassing the LM4132 voltage input pin with a  
4.7µF capacitor and the voltage output pin with a 4.7µF ca-  
pacitor will improve stability and reduce output noise. The  
LM4132 comes in a space-saving 5-pin SOT23.  
where VZ(min) and VZ(max) are the nominal LM4050 output  
voltages ± the LM4050 output tolerance over temperature, IZ  
(max) is the maximum allowable current through the LM4050,  
IZ(min) is the minimum current required by the LM4050 for  
proper regulation, and IDAC(max) is the maximum  
DAC088S085 supply current.  
2.2.3 LP3985  
The LP3985 is a low noise, ultra low dropout voltage regulator  
with a ±3% accuracy over temperature. It is a good choice for  
applications that do not require a precision reference for the  
DAC088S085. It comes in 3.0V, 3.3V and 5V versions, among  
others, and sports a low 30 µV noise specification at low fre-  
quencies. Since low frequency noise is relatively difficult to  
filter, this specification could be important for some applica-  
tions. The LP3985 comes in a space-saving 5-pin SOT23 and  
5-bump micro SMD packages.

2.2.2 LM4050  
Available with accuracy of ±0.1%, the LM4050 shunt refer-

comes in a space-saving 3-pin SOT23.  
30031315  
FIGURE 10. Using the LP3985 regulator  
An input capacitance of 1.0µF without any ESR requirement  
is required at the LP3985 input, while a 1.0µF ceramic ca-  
pacitor with an ESR requirement of 5mto 500mis required  
at the output. Careful interpretation and understanding of the  
capacitor specification is required to ensure correct device  
operation.  
2.2.4 LP2980  
The LP2980 is an ultra low dropout regulator with a ±0.5% or  
±1.0% accuracy over temperature, depending upon grade. It  
is available in 3.0V, 3.3V and 5V versions, among others.  
30031314  
FIGURE 9. The LM4050 as a power supply  
The minimum resistor value in the circuit of Figure 9 must be  
chosen such that the maximum current through the LM4050  
does not exceed its 15 mA rating. The conditions for maxi-  
mum current include the input voltage at its maximum, the  
LM4050 voltage at its minimum, and the DAC088S085 draw-  
ing zero current. The maximum resistor value must allow the  
LM4050 to draw more than its minimum current for regulation  
plus the maximum DAC088S085 current in full operation. The  
conditions for minimum current include the input voltage at its  
minimum, the LM4050 voltage at its maximum, the resistor  
value at its maximum due to tolerance, and the DAC088S085  
draws its maximum current. These conditions can be sum-  
marized as  
30031316  
FIGURE 11. Using the LP2980 regulator  
Like any low dropout regulator, the LP2980 requires an output  
capacitor for loop stability. This output capacitor must be at  
least 1.0µF over temperature, but values of 2.2µF or more will  
provide even better performance. The ESR of this capacitor  
should be within the range specified in the LP2980 data sheet.  
Surface-mount solid tantalum capacitors offer a good combi-

nation of small size and low ESR. Ceramic capacitors are  
attractive due to their small size but generally have ESR val-  
ues that are too low for use with the LP2980. Aluminum  
electrolytic capacitors are typically not a good choice due to  
their large size and high ESR values at low temperatures.  
2.3 BIPOLAR OPERATION  
The DAC088S085 is designed for single supply operation and  
thus has a unipolar output. However, a bipolar output may be  
achieved with the circuit in Figure 12. This circuit will provide  
an output voltage range of ±5 Volts. A rail-to-rail amplifier  
should be used if the amplifier supplies are limited to ±5V.  
30031358  
FIGURE 13. Variable Current Source  
The output current of this circuit (IO) for any DAC code is found  
to be  
IO = (VREF x (D / 256) x (R2) / (R1 x RB)  
where D is the input code in decimal form and R2 = RA + RB.  
2.5 APPLICATION CIRCUITS  
The following figures are examples of the DAC088S085 in  
typical application circuits. These circuits are basic and will  
generally require modification for specific circumstances.  
30031317  
2.5.1 Industrial Application  
Figure 14 shows the DAC088S085 controlling several differ-  
ent circuits in an industrial setting. Channel A is shown pro-  
viding the reference voltage to the ADC081S625, one of  
National Semiconductor's general purpose Analog-to-Digital  
Converters (ADCs). The reference for the ADC121S625 may  
be set to any voltage from 0.2V to 5.5V, providing the widest  
dynamic range possible. Typically, the ADC121S625 will be  
monitoring a sensor and would benefit from the ADC's refer-  
ence voltage being adjustable. Channel B is providing the  
drive or supply voltage for a sensor. By having the sensor  
supply voltage adjustable, the output of the sensor can be  
optimized to the input level of the ADC monitoring it. Channel  
C is defined to adjust the offset or gain of an amplifier stage  
in the system. Channel D is configured with an opamp to pro-  
vide an adjustable current source. Being able to convert one  
of the eight channels of the DAC088S085 to a current output  
eliminates the need for a separate current output DAC to be  
added to the circuit. Channel E, in conjunction with an opamp,  
provides a bipolar output swing for devices requiring control  
voltages that are centered around ground. Channel F and G  
are used to set the upper and lower limits for a range detector.  
Channel H is reserved for providing voltage control or acting  
as a voltage setpoint.  
FIGURE 12. Bipolar Operation  
The output voltage of this circuit for any code is found to be  
VO = (VA x (D / 256) x ((R1 + R2) / R1) - VA x R2 / R1)  
where D is the input code in decimal form. With VA = 5V and  
R1 = R2,  
VO = (10 x D / 256) - 5V

2.4 VARIABLE CURRENT SOURCE OUTPUT  
The DAC088S085 is a voltage output DAC but can be easily  
converted to a current output with the addition of an opamp.  
In Figure 13, one of the channels of the DAC088S085 is con-  
verted to a variable current source capable of sourcing up to  
40mA.

the sensor supply voltage and the reference voltage of the  
ADC, fluctuations in the value of the 5V supply will have a  
minimal effect on the digital output code of the ADC. This type  
of configuration is often referred to as a "Ratio-metric" design.  
For example, an increase of 5% to the 5V supply will cause  
the sensor supply voltage to increase by 5%. This causes the  
gain or sensitivity of the sensor to increase by 5%. The gain  
of the amplifier stage is unaffected by the change in supply  
voltage. The ADC121S705 on the other hand, also experi-  
ences a 5% increase to its reference voltage. This causes the  
size of the ADC's least significant bit (LSB) to increase by 5%.  
As a result of the sensor's gain increasing by 5% and the LSB  
size of the ADC increasing by the same 5%, there is no net  
effect on the circuit's performance. It is assumed that the am-  
plifier gain is set low enough to allow for a 5% increase in the  
sensor output. Otherwise, the increase in the sensor output  
level may cause the output of the amplifiers to clip.  
Figure 15 shows Channel A of the DAC088S085 providing the  
drive or supply voltage for a bridge sensor. By having the  
sensor supply voltage adjustable, the output of the sensor can  
be optimized to the input level of the ADC monitoring it. The  
output of the sensor is amplified by a fixed gain amplifier stage  
with a differential gain of 1 + 2 × (RF / RI). The advantage of  
this amplifier configuration is the high input impedance seen  
by the output of the bridge sensor. The disadvantage is the  
poor common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR). The common-  
mode voltage (VCM) of the bridge sensor is half of Channel  
A's DAC output. The VCM is amplified by a gain of 1V/V by the  
amplifier stage and thus becomes the bias voltage for the in-  
put of the ADC121S705. Channel B of the DAC088S085 is  
providing the reference voltage to the ADC121S705. The ref-  
erence for the ADC121S705 may be set to any voltage from  
1V to 5V, providing the widest dynamic range possible.  
The reference voltage for Channel A and B is powered by an  
external 5V power supply. Since the 5V supply is common to

2.5.3 Programmable Attenuator  
SYNC signal comes from a bit-programmable pin on the mi-  
crocontroller. The example shown here uses port line P3.3.  
This line is taken low when data is transmitted to the  
DAC088S085. Since the 80C51/80L51 transmits 8-bit bytes,  
only eight falling clock edges occur in the transmit cycle. To  
load data into the DAC, the P3.3 line must be left low after the  
first eight bits are transmitted. A second write cycle is initiated  
to transmit the second byte of data, after which port line P3.3  
is brought high. The 80C51/80L51 transmit routine must rec-  
ognize that the 80C51/80L51 transmits data with the LSB first  
while the DAC088S085 requires data with the MSB first.  
Figure 16 shows one of the channels of the DAC088S085  
being used as a single-quadrant multiplier. In this configura-  
tion, an AC or DC signal can be driven into one of the refer-  
ence pins. The SPI interface of the DAC can be used to  
digitally attenuate the signal to any level from 0dB (full scale)  
to 0V. This is accomplished without adding any noticeable  
level of noise to the signal. An amplifier stage is shown in  
Figure 16 as a reference for applications where the input sig-  
nal requires amplification. Note how the AC signal in this  
application is ac-coupled to the amplifier before being ampli-  
fied. A separate bias voltage is used to set the common-mode  
voltage for the DAC088S085's reference input to VA / 2, al-  
lowing the largest possible input swing. The multiplying band-  
width of VREF1,2 is 360kHz with a VCM of 2.5V and a peak-to-  
peak signal swing of 2V.

2.6.3 68HC11 Interface  
A serial interface between the DAC088S085 and the 68HC11  
microcontroller is shown in Figure 19. The SYNC line of the  
DAC088S085 is driven from a port line (PC7 in the figure),  
similar to the 80C51/80L51.  
The 68HC11 should be configured with its CPOL bit as a zero  
and its CPHA bit as a one. This configuration causes data on  
the MOSI output to be valid on the falling edge of SCLK. PC7  
is taken low to transmit data to the DAC. The 68HC11 trans-  
mits data in 8-bit bytes with eight falling clock edges. Data is  
transmitted with the MSB first. PC7 must remain low after the  
first eight bits are transferred. A second write cycle is initiated  
to transmit the second byte of data to the DAC, after which  
PC7 should be raised to end the write sequence.

2.6 DSP/MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING  
Interfacing the DAC088S085 to microprocessors and DSPs  
is quite simple. The following guidelines are offered to hasten  
the design process.  
2.6.1 ADSP-2101/ADSP2103 Interfacing  
Figure 17 shows a serial interface between the DAC088S085  
and the ADSP-2101/ADSP2103. The DSP should be set to  
operate in the SPORT Transmit Alternate Framing Mode. It is  
programmed through the SPORT control register and should  
be configured for Internal Clock Operation, Active Low Fram-  
ing and 16-bit Word Length. Transmission is started by writing  
a word to the Tx register after the SPORT mode has been  
enabled.

FIGURE 19. 68HC11 Interface  
2.6.4 Microwire Interface  
Figure 20 shows an interface between a Microwire compatible  
device and the DAC088S085. Data is clocked out on the rising  
edges of the SK signal. As a result, the SK of the Microwire  
device needs to be inverted before driving the SCLK of the  
DAC088S085.

2.7 LAYOUT, GROUNDING, AND BYPASSING  
0.1µF capacitor needs to be placed right at the device supply  
pin. The 1µF or larger valued capacitor can be a tantalum  
capacitor while the 0.1µF capacitor needs to be a ceramic  
capacitor with low ESL and low ESR. If a ceramic capacitor  
with low ESL and low ESR is used for the 1µF value and it  
can be placed right at the supply pin, the 0.1µF capacitor can  
be eliminated. Capacitors of this nature typically span the  
same frequency spectrum as the 0.1µF capacitor and thus  
eliminate the need for the extra capacitor. The power supply  
for the DAC088S085 should only be used for analog circuits.  
For best accuracy and minimum noise, the printed circuit  
board containing the DAC088S085 should have separate  
analog and digital areas. The areas are defined by the loca-  
tions of the analog and digital power planes. Both of these  
planes should be located in the same board layer. A single  
ground plane is preferred if digital return current does not flow  
through the analog ground area. Frequently a single ground  
plane design will utilize a "fencing" technique to prevent the  
mixing of analog and digital ground current. Separate ground  
planes should only be utilized when the fencing technique is  
inadequate. The separate ground planes must be connected  
in one place, preferably near the DAC088S085. Special care  
is required to guarantee that digital signals with fast edge  
rates do not pass over split ground planes. They must always  
have a continuous return path below their traces.  
It is also advisable to avoid the crossover of analog and digital  
signals. This helps minimize the amount of noise from the  
transitions of the digital signals from coupling onto the sensi-  
tive analog signals such as the reference pins and the DAC  
outputs.  
For best performance, the DAC088S085 power supply should  
be bypassed with at least a 1µF and a 0.1µF capacitor. The
