FEATURES  
DESCRIPTION  
2
Bipolar Output: ±3V, up to ±16.5V  
The DAC8728 is  
digital-to-analog converter (DAC). With  
a
low-power, octal, 16-bit  
5V  
a
Unipolar Output: 0V to +33V  
16-Bit Resolution  
reference, the output can either be a bipolar ±15V  
voltage when operating from a dual ±15.5V (or  
higher) power supply, or a unipolar 0V to +30V  
voltage when operating from a +30.5V power supply.  
With a 5.5V reference, the output can either be a  
±16.5V for a dual ±17V (or higher) power supply, 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 and full-scale error. In addition,  
user calibration can be performed to achieve ±1 LSB  
bipolar zero/full-scale error for a bipolar supply, or ±1  
LSB zero-code/full-scale error for a unipolar supply  
over the entire signal chain. The output range can be  
offset by using the DAC Offset Register.  
Low Power: 13.5mW/Ch  
Relative Accuracy: 4 LSB Max  
Flexible User Calibration  
Low Zero/Full-Scale Error  
Before User Calibration: ±10 LSB Max  
After User Calibration: ±1 LSB  
Low Glitch: 4nV-s  
Settling Time: 15μs  
Channel Monitor Output  
Programmable Gain: x4, x6  
Programmable Offset  
16-Bit Parallel Interface:  
50MHz (Write Operation)  
The DAC8728 features a standard, high-speed, 16-bit  
parallel interface that operates at up to 50MHz and is  
1.8V, 3V, and 5V logic compatible, to communicate  
with a DSP or microprocessor. The eight DACs and  
the auxiliary registers are addressed with five address  
lines. The device features double-buffered interface  
logic. 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, and the reference buffer outputs  
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 8. These pins are not intended to drive an external load, and must not  
be connected during dual-supply operation.  
(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 – 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.  
(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 output must not be greater than (AVDD – 0.5V) and not less than (AVSS + 0.5V).

(1) 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.  
(2) Specified by design.  
(3) 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.  
(4) When the output current is greater than the specification, the current is clamped at the specified maximum value.  
(5) Slew rate is measured from 10% to 90% of the transition when the output changes from 0 to full-scale.  
(6) 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.  
(7) 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.

(8) 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.  
(9) 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.  
(10) 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.  
(11) 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.

DESCRIPTION  
Load DAC latch control input (active low). When LDAC is low, the DAC latch is transparent and the  
contents of the DAC Data Register are transferred to it. The DAC output changes to the corresponding  
level simultaneously when the DAC latch is updated. See the DAC Output Update section for details. If  
asynchronous mode is desired, LDAC must be permanently tied low before power is applied to the  
device. If synchronous mode is desired, LDAC must be logic high during power-on.

THEORY OF OPERATION  
GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The DAC8728 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 to AGND, as shown in Figure 95. This type of architecture  
provides DAC monotonicity. The 16-bit binary digital code loaded to the DAC register determines at which node  
on the string the voltage is tapped off before being fed into the output amplifier. The output amplifier multiplies  
the DAC output voltage by a gain of six or four. The output span is 9V with a 1.5V reference, 18V with a 3V  
reference, and 30V for a 5V reference when using dual power supplies of ±16.5V and a gain of 6.

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 ERROR AND GAIN ERROR  
The DAC8728 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 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  
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 DAC8728, which is shared among all channels. Each channel has an  
individual busy flag (BF-x) in the Busy Flag register. When the channel is accessed, the respective BF-x bit is set  
if either the Input Data Register, Zero Register, or Gain Register are written to. When the DAC data are adjusted  
by the correction engine and transferred into DAC Data Register, the BF-x bit is cleared. It takes approximately  
500ns per channel for the correction to complete.  
The correction engine calibrates the individual channels according to priority. DAC-0 has the highest priority,  
while DAC-7 has the lowest. Correction of lower-priority channels is not performed until correction of  
higher-priority channels completes. Repeatedly accessing higher-priority channels may block the correction of  
lower-priority channels. Table 1 lists the correction engine channel priority.

The device also provides a global busy flag (GBF) and a logic output from the BUSY pin to indicate the  
correction engine status. When the correction engine is running, the GBF bit is set ('1'), and the BUSY pin is low.  
When the engine stops, GBF is cleared ('0'), and the BUSY pin goes high (or Hi-Z if no pull-up resistor is used).  
Note that when the correction engine is disabled, the GBF bit is always cleared, and the BUSY pin is always in a  
Hi-Z state.  
To avoid any potential conflicts caused by the correction process, the input data must be written properly. Either  
one of the following approaches can be used to update the DAC Input Data Register, Zero Register, or Gain  
Register:  
1. Writing to any channel when the BUSY pin is high or when the GBF bit = '0'.  
2. Writing to an individual channel when the corresponding BF-x bit = '0'.  
3. Tracking the correction time. It takes approximately 500ns to correct one channel for each input data, zero or  
gain change.  
The individual channel can be rewritten only if the corrections are completed for that channel and for all other  
channels that have higher priority. For example, if DAC-0, DAC-1, and DAC-2 are written to first, and then DAC-1  
is written to again, the second writing to DAC-1 is not permitted until the correction of the first DAC-1 writing is  
complete (that is, approximately 1000ns after writing to DAC-0, or 500ns after the first writing to DAC-1).  
However, if writing to DAC-0, DAC-1, DAC-2, and then DAC-2 again, the second writing of DAC-2 is prohibited  
until the correction for the first writing to DAC-2 is complete (that is, approximately 1500ns after writing to DAC-0,  
or 500ns after the first writing to DAC-2).

If the user-calibration function is not needed, the correction engine can be turned off to speed up the device.  
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' (default), 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.

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 6 and Table 7. 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 DAC8728 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. 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 96 for the internal Offset DAC and output amplifier configuration.

GENERAL-PURPOSE INPUT/OUTPUT PIN (GPIO)  
The GPIO pin is a general-purpose, bidirectional, digital input/output, as shown in Figure 97. When the 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 the GPIO pin as an output. When the GPIO pin acts  
as an input, the digital value on the pin is acquired by reading the GPIO bit. After power-on reset, or any forced  
hardware or software reset, the GPIO bit is set to '1', and is in a high-impedance state. If not used, the GPIO pin  
must be tied to either DGND or to IOVDD through a pull-up resistor. Leaving the GPIO pin floating can cause high  
IOVDD supply currents.

BUSY Pin  
The BUSY pin is an open-drain output. When the correction engine runs, the GBF bit in the Configuration  
Register is set and the BUSY pin is low. When multiple DAC8728 devices may be used in one system, the BUSY  
pins can be tied together. When each device has finished updating the DAC Data Register, the respective BUSY  
pin is released. If another device has not finished updating the DAC Data Register, it will hold BUSY low. This  
configuration is useful when it is required that no DAC in any device is updated until all other DACs are ready.  
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 0 V, 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 DAC8728 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 8. 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 8 and  
Table 9. In addition, the Gain and Zero registers are loaded with default values, communication is disabled, and  
the signals on R/W, CS , [D0:D15], and [A0:A4] are ignored (note that [D0:D15] are 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 parallel 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 DAC8728 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 DAC8728 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 activate this mode, 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' and the BUSY pin is high (GBF bit = '0'), all DAC latches are updated simultaneously. If  
LDAC goes low or the LD bit is set to '1' when SCE = '1' and the BUSY pin is low (GBF bit = '1'), the DAC  
latches are not updated immediately because the correction engine is still running. Instead, all DAC latches are  
updated simultaneously when the GBF bit is cleared to '0'. At that time, the correction engine is finished.  
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 t15 from the rising edge of CS (when the correction engine is disabled), or after the delay  
of t18 from the rising edge of BUSY (when the correction engine is enabled). If the timing requirements of t15 or  
t18 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 monitors either of the DAC outputs, offset DAC outputs, or  
reference buffer outputs. The channel monitor function consists of an analog multiplexer addressed via the  
parallel interface, allowing any channel output, reference buffer output, 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.  
POWER-DOWN MODE  
The DAC8728 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 DAC8728 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 or DGND 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.

PARALLEL INTERFACE  
The DAC8728 interfaces with microprocessors using a 16-bit data bus. The interface is double-buffered, allowing  
simultaneous updating of all DACs. Each DAC has an input data register, DAC data register, user-calibration  
gain register, user-calibration zero register, and DAC latch. When user calibration is enabled, the input data  
register receives data from the data bus, the DAC Data Register stores the data after internal calibration, and the  
DAC latch sets the analog output level. When user calibration is disabled (default), the DAC data register stores  
data from the data bus, and the DAC latch sets the analog output level. Five address lines (A0:A4) select which  
DAC or auxiliary register is addressed. Table 10 shows the register map.

INTERNAL REGISTERS  
The DAC8728 internal registers consist of the Configuration Register, the Monitor Register, the DAC Input Data  
Registers, the Zero Registers, the Gain Registers, the DAC Data Registers, and the Busy Flag Register, and are  
described in the following section.  
The Configuration Register specifies which actions are performed by the device. Table 11 shows the details.

DESCRIPTION  
A/B bit.  
When A/B = '0', reading DAC-x returns the value in the Input Data Register.  
D15  
A/B  
1
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 are the original data written to the  
bus, and the value in the DAC Data Register is the corrected data.  
Synchronously update DAC bits.  
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 DAC8728 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 LDAC pin is tied low, this bit is ignored. When the correction engine is off, the LD  
bit can be issued any time after the write operation is finished, and the DAC latch is immediately updated when CS goes  
high.  
D14  
LD

Software reset bit.  
D13  
D12  
RST

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.  
Setting the PD-A bit to '1' places Group A (DAC-0, DAC-1, DAC-2, and DAC-3) into power-down mode. All output buffers  
are in Hi-Z and all analog outputs (VOUT-X) connect to AGND-A through an internal 15kresistor.  
Setting the PD-A bit to '0' returns group A to normal operation.  
PD-A  
Power-down bit for Group B.  
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 15kresistor.  
Setting the PD-B bit to '0' returns group B to normal operation.  
D11

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, and then loaded into the DAC latch, which sets the output voltage. Refer to the User  
Calibration for Zero Error and Gain Error section for details.  
Global correction engine busy flag.

GBF = '1' when the correction engine is running, indicating that at least one channel has not been corrected.  
GBF = 0' 'when the correction engine stops, indicating that no more correction is needed.  
When the SCE bit = '0', GBF is always cleared ('0').

Gain bit for Group A (DAC-0, DAC-1, DAC-2, and DAC-3).  
Set the GAIN-A bit to '0' for an output span = 6 × REF-A.  
Set the GAIN-A bit to '1' for an output span = 4 × REF-A.  
Updating this bit to a new value automatically resets the Offset DAC-A Register to its factory-trimmed value for the new  
gain setting.  
D8  
GAIN-A  
Gain bit for Group B (DAC-4, DAC-5, DAC-6, and DAC-7).  
Set the GAIN-B bit to '0' for an output span = 6 × REF-B.  
Set the GAIN-B bit to '1' for an output span = 4 × REF-B.  
Updating this bit to a new value automatically resets the Offset DAC-B Register to its factory-trimmed value for the new  
gain setting.

Monitor Register (default = 0000h).  
The Monitor Register selects one of the DAC outputs, reference buffer outputs, or offset DAC outputs to be  
monitored through the VMON pin. Only one bit at a time can be set to '1'. 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  
For write operations, the GPIO pin operates as an output. Writing a '1' to the GPIO bit sets the GPIO pin to high  
impedance, and writing a '0' sets the GPIO pin to logic low. An external pull-up resistor is required when using  
the GPIO pin as an output.  
For read operations, the GPIO pin operates as an input. Read the GPIO bit to receive the status of the GPIO  
pin. Reading a '0' indicates that the GPIO pin is low, and reading a '1' indicates that the GPIO pin is high.  
After power-on reset, or any forced hardware or software reset, the GPIO bit is set to '1', and is in a  
high-impedance state.  
Busy Flag Register (read-only). Default = 0000h.

the correction engine and transferred into the DAC Data Register, the BF-x bit is cleared. It takes approximately  
500ns per channel for the correction to complete.

SBAS466A JUNE 2009REVISED NOVEMBER 2009  
APPLICATION INFORMATION  
PRECISION VOLTAGE REFERENCE SELECTION  
To achieve the optimum performance from the DAC8728 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 DAC8728 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 DAC8728 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 printed circuit board (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 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. 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.

http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability information and additional product content details.  
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.  
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements  
for all 6 substances, including the requirement that lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered  
at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.  
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and  
package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS  
compatible) as defined above.  
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame  
retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous material)
