3 Description
The DAC088S085 is a full-featured, general-purpose,
OCTAL, 8-bit, voltage-output, digital-to-analog
converter (DAC) that can operate from a single 2.7 V
to 5.5 V supply and consumes 1.95 mW at 3 V and
4.85 mW at 5 V. The DAC088S085 is packaged in a
16-pin WQFN package and a 16-pin TSSOP
package. The WQFN package makes the
DAC088S085 the smallest OCTAL DAC in its class.
The on-chip output amplifiers 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
25MHz clock rates at supply voltages in the range of
2.7 V to 3.6 V. The serial interface is compatible with
standard SPI™, QSPI, MICROWIRE, and DSP
interfaces. The DAC088S085 also offers daisy chain
operation where an unlimited number of devices can
be updated simultaneously using a single serial
interface.

5 Description (continued)
There are two references for the DAC088S085. One reference input serves channels A through D, while the
other reference serves channels E through H. Each reference can be set independently between 0.5 V 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 and output value. All
eight DAC outputs can be updated simultaneously or individually.
A power-on reset circuit ensures that the DAC outputs power up to 0 V and remain there until there is a valid
write to the device. The power-down feature of the DAC088S085 allows each DAC to be independently powered
with three different termination options. With all the DAC channels powered down, power consumption reduces
to less than 0.3 µW at 3 V and less than 1 µW at 5 V. The low power consumption 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
appropriate for their application without redesigning their printed-circuit board. The DAC088S085 operates over
the extended industrial temperature range of –40°C to 125°C.

TYPE DESCRIPTION
NAME NO.
WQFN TSSOP
DIN 15 1 Digital Input Serial Data Input. Data is clocked into the 16-bit shift register on the falling edges of
SCLK after the fall of SYNC.
DOUT 16 2 Digital Output Serial Data Output. DOUT is used in daisy chain operation and is connected directly to a
DIN pin on another DAC088S085. Data is not available at DOUT unless SYNC remains
low for more than 16 SCLK cycles.
GND 8 10 Ground Ground reference for all on-chip circuitry.
SCLK 14 16 Digital Input Serial Clock Input. Data is clocked into the input shift register on the falling edges of
this pin.
SYNC 13 15 Digital Input
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.
VA5 7 Supply Power supply input. Must be decoupled to GND.
VOUTA 1 3 Analog Output Channel A Analog Output Voltage.
VOUTB 2 4 Analog Output Channel B Analog Output Voltage.
VOUTC 3 5 Analog Output Channel C Analog Output Voltage.
VOUTD 4 6 Analog Output Channel D Analog Output Voltage.
VOUTE 12 14 Analog Output Channel E Analog Output Voltage.
VOUTF 11 13 Analog Output Channel F Analog Output Voltage.
VOUTG 10 12 Analog Output Channel G Analog Output Voltage.
VOUTH 9 11 Analog Output Channel H Analog Output Voltage.
VREF1 6 8 Analog Input Unbuffered reference voltage shared by Channels A, B, C, and D. Must be decoupled
to GND.
VREF2 7 9 Analog Input Unbuffered reference voltage shared by Channels E, F, G, and H. Must be decoupled
to GND.

(1) Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended
Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
(2) All voltages are measured with respect to GND = 0 V, unless otherwise specified.
(3) If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, please contact the Texas Instruments Sales Office/Distributors for availability and
specifications.
(4) When the input voltage at any pin exceeds 5.5 V or is less than GND, the current at that pin must 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.
(5) 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 (RθJA), and the ambient temperature (TA), and can be calculated using the formula
PDMAX = (TJmax TA) / RθJA. The values for maximum power dissipation is reached only when the device is operated in a severe fault
condition (for example, when input or output pins are driven beyond the operating ratings, or the power supply polarity is reversed).
Such conditions must always be avoided.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 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.
For simplicity, a single resistor string is shown in Figure 27. 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:
VOUTA,B,C,D = VREF1 × (D / 256) (1)
VOUTE,F,G,H = VREF2 × (D / 256)
where
D is the decimal equivalent of the binary code that is loaded into the DAC register. (2)
D can take on any value between 0 and 255. This configuration ensures that the DAC is monotonic.
Figure 27. DAC Resistor String
Because all eight DAC channels of the DAC088S085 can be controlled independently, each channel consists of
a DAC register and a 8-bit DAC. Figure 28 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 Serial Interface.

Feature Description (continued)
8.3.2 Output Amplifiers
The output amplifiers are rail-to-rail, providing an output voltage range of 0 V to VAwhen the reference is VA. All
amplifiers, even rail-to-rail types, exhibit a loss of linearity as the output approaches the supply rails (0 V 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.
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 Electrical Characteristics.
8.3.3 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. TI
recommends that VREF1 and VREF2 be driven by voltage sources with low output impedance. The reference
voltage range is 0.5 V to VA, providing the widest possible output dynamic range.
8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Power-On Reset
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 0 V. The outputs remain at 0 V
until a valid write sequence is made.
8.4.2 Power-Down Modes
The DAC088S085 has three power-down modes where different output terminations can be selected (see
Table 1). With all channels powered down, the supply current drops to 0.1 µA at 3 V and 0.2 µA at 5 V. 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 terminations
include high output impedance, 100 kΩto GND, and 2.5 kΩto GND.
The output amplifiers, resistor strings, and other linear circuitry 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 before the DAC088S085 being powered down unless it is changed during 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
µs at 3 V and 20 µs at 5 V.

8.5 Programming
8.5.1 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 Figure 1 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 Figure 1 and Figure 29). 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 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 Figure 1 and Figure 29).
Figure 29. 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 presented at DIN begins to be output on DOUT. More information on this mode of operation can be
found in Daisy Chain Operation. In either case, SYNC must be brought high for the minimum specified time
before the next write sequence is initiated with a falling edge of SYNC.
Because the DIN buffer draws more current when it is high, it must be idled low between write sequences to
minimize power consumption. On the other hand, SYNC must be idled high to avoid the activation of daisy chain
operation where DOUT is active.
8.5.2 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 properly updates 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 30 shows three DAC088S085s
connected in daisy chain fashion. Similar to a single-channel write sequence, 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 specified for a maximum SCLK speed of 30 MHz.

Programming (continued)
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
outputs the first sixteen data bits entered into DIN.Figure 31 shows the timing of three DAC088S085s in
Figure 30. 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.
Figure 31. Daisy Chain Timing Diagram
8.5.3 Serial Input Register
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 is referred to as WRM and WTM. The special command operations 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 2 for a detailed summary.
Table 2. Write Register and Write Through Modes
DB[15:12] DB[11:0] DESCRIPTION OF MODE
1000 XXXXXXXXXXXX WRM: The registers of each DAC Channel can be written to without causing
their outputs to change.
1 0 0 1 X X X X X X X X X X X X WTM: Writing data to a channel's register causes the DAC output to change.
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 3).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 register 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 3). 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 operation. 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 respective 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 values simultaneously
(see Table 4).
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. To
accomplish this task in the minimum number of write 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 4).
The third special command allows the user to set all the DAC control registers and outputs to the same level.
This command is commonly referred to as broadcast mode because the same data bits are being broadcast to
all of the channels simultaneously. 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 0 V, VREF / 2, or Full Scale. A summary of the commands
can be found in Table 4.
Table 4. Special Command Operations

updated to the data in DB[11:0]. The outputs of the other seven channels are
also updated according to their respective control register values.

9 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.
9.1 Application Information
9.1.1 Examples Programming the DAC088S085
This section presents the step-by-step instructions for programming the serial input register.
9.1.1.1 Updating DAC Outputs Simultaneously
When the DAC088S085 is first powered on, the DAC is operating 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.
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 required. 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 updates 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 updates the data
register for Channel B. Once again, the output of Channel B and Channel A is not updated because 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 register. 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.
Because 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 update the DAC register and output of Channel A. 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 4.
9.1.1.2 Updating DAC Outputs Independently
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 channel 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 the data
register of Channel G and DAC output is updated. Similarly, if the output of Channel F 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 operation. Setting
the DAC output of Channel A to full scale could be accomplished in one step by writing BFFF to the control
register.

Application Information (continued)
9.1.2 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 32. This circuit provides an output voltage range of ±5 V. A rail-
to-rail amplifier must be used if the amplifier supplies are limited to ±5 V.
Figure 32. Bipolar Operation
The output voltage of this circuit for any code is found to be
VO= VA× (D / 256) × ( (R1 + R2) / R1) VA× R2 / R1
where
D is the input code in decimal form. (3)
With VA= 5 V and R1 = R2,
VO= (10 × D / 256) 5 V (4)
A list of rail-to-rail amplifiers suitable for this application are indicated in Table 5.

9.1.3 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
operational amplifier. In Figure 33, one of the channels of the DAC088S085 is converted to a variable current
source capable of sourcing up to 40 mA.

9.1.4 DSP and Microprocessor Interfacing
Interfacing the DAC088S085 to microprocessors and DSPs is quite simple. The following guidelines are offered
to hasten the design process.
9.1.4.1 ADSP-2101 and ADSP2103 Interfacing
Figure 34 shows a serial interface between the DAC088S085 and the ADSP-2101 or ADSP2103. The DSP must
be set to operate in the SPORT Transmit Alternate Framing Mode. It is programmed through the SPORT control
register and must be configured for Internal Clock Operation, Active Low Framing and 16-bit Word Length.
Transmission is started by writing a word to the Tx register after the SPORT mode has been enabled.

9.1.4.2 80C51 and 80L51 Interface
A serial interface between the DAC088S085 and the 80C51 or 80L51 microcontroller is shown in Figure 35. The
SYNC signal comes from a bit-programmable pin on the microcontroller. The example shown here uses port line
P3.3. This line is taken low when data is transmitted to the DAC088S085. Because the 80x51 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 80x51 transmit routine must recognize that the 80x51
transmits data with the LSB first while the DAC088S085 requires data with the MSB first.
Figure 35. 80C51 and 80L51 Interface
9.1.4.3 68HC11 Interface
A serial interface between the DAC088S085 and the 68HC11 microcontroller is shown in Figure 36. The SYNC
line of the DAC088S085 is driven from a port line (PC7 in the figure), similar to the 80C51 and 80L51.
The 68HC11 must 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 transmits 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 must be raised to end the write sequence.
Figure 36. 68HC11 Interface
9.1.4.4 Microwire Interface
Figure 37 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 must be inverted before driving
the SCLK of the DAC088S085.

9.1.5 Industrial Application
Figure 38 shows the DAC088S085 controlling several different circuits in an industrial setting. Channel A is
shown providing the reference voltage to the ADC081S625, one of Texas Instruments' general-purpose Analog-
to-Digital Converters (ADCs). The reference for the ADC121S625 may be set to any voltage from 0.2 V to 5.5 V,
providing the widest dynamic range possible. Typically, the ADC121S625 is monitoring a sensor and would
benefit from the reference voltage of ADC 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 operational amplifier to provide 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 operational amplifier, 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.

9.2 Typical Applications
The following figures are examples of the DAC088S085 in typical application circuits. These circuits are basic
and generally requires modification for specific circumstances.
9.2.1 ADC Reference
Figure 39 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.
Figure 39. Driving an ADC Reference
9.2.1.1 Design Requirements
For this design example, use these requirements:
Provide drive for a bridge sensor that is adjustable through SPI from an MCU.
Provide reference voltage for an ADC that is adjustable through SPI from an MCU.
Use a single 5 V supply.
Use ratiometric design for the bridge and ADC reference.
9.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
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 the DAC output of Channel A. The VCM is amplified by a gain of 1 V/V by the
amplifier stage and thus becomes the bias voltage for the input of the ADC121S705. Channel B of the
DAC088S085 is providing the reference voltage to the ADC121S705. The reference for the ADC121S705 may
be set to any voltage from 1 V to 5 V, providing the widest dynamic range possible.
The reference voltage for Channel A and B is powered by an external 5 V power supply. Because the 5 V supply
is common to the sensor supply voltage and the reference voltage of the ADC, fluctuations in the value of the
5V supply has 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 5 V supply causes 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 experiences a
5% increase to its reference voltage. This causes the size of the least significant bit (LSB) of the ADC 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 amplifier 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 41. Programmable Attenuator Diagram
9.2.2.1 Design Requirements
For this design example, use these requirements:
Use a single 5 V supply.
Use the SPI interface to control the amount of attenuation of a signal.
Do not add any noise to the signal.
9.2.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
In this configuration, an AC or DC signal can be driven into one of the reference pins. The SPI interface of the
DAC can be used to digitally attenuate the signal to any level from 0 dB (full scale) to 0 V. This is accomplished
without adding any noticeable level of noise to the signal. An amplifier stage is shown in Figure 41 as a reference
for applications where the input signal requires amplification. Notice how the AC signal in this application is AC-
coupled to the amplifier before being amplified. A separate bias voltage is used to set the common-mode voltage
for the DAC088S085's reference input to VA/ 2, allowing the largest possible input swing. The multiplying
bandwidth of VREF1,2 is 360 kHz with a VCM of 2.5 V and a peak-to-peak signal swing of 2 V.

Figure 42. Multiplying Bandwidth
9.3 Do's and Don'ts
Install bypass capacitors next to the VA, VREF1, and VREF2 pins.
The reference inputs must be kept stable and noise free. Besides installing bypass capacitors close to the
pins, the traces that have the reference voltages must kept away from noisy traces.
Keep analog and digital traces away from each other. If they need to cross, have the traces cross at a 90°
angle.
10 Power Supply Recommendations
10.1 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 has zero Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR). Therefore, it is
necessary to provide a noise-free supply voltage to VREF1,2. To use the full dynamic range of the DAC088S085,
the supply pin (VA) and VREF1,2 can be connected together and share the same supply voltage. Because the
DAC088S085 consumes very little power, a reference source may be used as the reference input 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.
10.1.1 LM4132
The LM4132, with its ±0.05% accuracy over temperature, is a good choice as a reference source for the
DAC088S085. The 4.096 V version is useful if a 0 V to 4.09 V output range is desirable. Bypassing the LM4132
voltage input pin with a 4.7-µF capacitor and the voltage output pin with a 4.7-µF capacitor improves stability and
reduce output noise. The LM4132 comes in a space-saving, 5-pin SOT-23 package.

Using References as Power Supplies (continued)
10.1.2 LM4050
Available with accuracy of ±0.1%, the LM4050 shunt reference is also a good choice as a reference for the
DAC088S085. It is available in 4.096 V and 5 V versions and comes in a space-saving, 3-pin SOT-23 package.
Figure 44. The LM4050 as a Power Supply
The minimum resistor value in the circuit of Figure 44 must be chosen such that the maximum current through
the LM4050 does not exceed its 15-mA rating. The conditions for maximum current include the input voltage at
its maximum, the LM4050 voltage at its minimum, and the DAC088S085 drawing 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 summarized as:
R(min) = ( VIN(max) VZ(min) ) / IZ(max) (6)
and R(max) = ( VIN(min) VZ(max) ) / (IDAC(max) + IZ(min) )
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
IDAC(max) is the maximum DAC088S085 supply current. (7)
10.1.3 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 V, 3.3
V, and 5 V versions, among others, and sports a low 30-µV noise specification at low frequencies. Because low
frequency noise is relatively difficult to filter, this specification could be important for some applications. The
LP3985 comes in a space-saving, 5-pin SOT-23 and 5-bump DSBGA packages.

Using References as Power Supplies (continued)
An input capacitance of 1 µF without any ESR requirement is required at the LP3985 input, while a 1-µF ceramic
capacitor with an ESR requirement of 5 mto 500 mis required at the output. Careful interpretation and
understanding of the capacitor specification is required to ensure correct device operation.
10.1.4 LP2980
The LP2980 is an ultra-low dropout regulator with a ±0.5% or ±1% accuracy over temperature, depending upon
grade. It is available in 3 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V versions, among others.
Figure 46. 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 µF over temperature, but values of 2.2 µF or more provides even better performance. The
ESR of this capacitor must be within the range specified in the LP2980 data sheet. Surface-mount solid tantalum
capacitors offer a good combination of small size and low ESR. Ceramic capacitors are attractive due to their
small size but generally have ESR values 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.
11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
For best accuracy and minimum noise, the printed-circuit board containing the DAC088S085 must have separate
analog and digital areas. The areas are defined by the locations of the analog and digital power planes. Both of
these planes must 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 uses a fencing technique
to prevent the mixing of analog and digital ground current. Separate ground planes must only be used when the
fencing technique is inadequate. The separate ground planes must be connected in one place, preferably near
the DAC088S085. Take special care to ensure 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.
For best performance, the DAC088S085 power supply must be bypassed with at least a 1-µF and a 0.1-µF
capacitor. The 0.1-µF capacitor must be placed right at the device supply pin. The 1-µF or larger valued
capacitor can be a tantalum capacitor while the 0.1-µF capacitor must be a ceramic capacitor with low ESL and
low ESR. If a ceramic capacitor with low ESL and low ESR is used for the 1-µF value and it can be placed right
at the supply pin, the 0.1-µF capacitor can be eliminated. Capacitors of this nature typically span the same
frequency spectrum as the 0.1-µF capacitor and thus eliminate the need for the extra capacitor. The power
supply for the DAC088S085 must only be used for analog circuits.
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 sensitive analog signals such as the reference
pins and the DAC outputs.
