3.1

Positive Power Supply Input Pin

(VDD)

VDD is the positive supply voltage input pin. The input

supply voltage is relative to VSS.

The power supply at the VDD pin should be as clean as

possible for a good DAC performance. It is recom-

mended to use an appropriate bypass capacitor of

about 0.1 µF (ceramic) to ground. An additional 10 µF

capacitor (tantalum) in parallel is also recommended to

further attenuate noise present in application boards.

3.2

Ground Pin (VSS)

The VSS pin is the device ground reference.

The user must connect the VSS pin to a ground plane

through a low-impedance connection. If an analog

ground path is available in the application PCB (Printed

Circuit Board), it is highly recommended that the VSS

pin be tied to the analog ground path or isolated within

an analog ground plane of the circuit board.

3.3

Voltage Reference Pins (VREF)

The VREF pin is either an input or an output. When the

DAC’s voltage reference is configured as the VREF pin,

the pin is an input. When the DAC’s voltage reference is

configured as the internal band gap, the pin is an output.

When the DAC’s voltage reference is configured as the

VREF pin, there are two options for this voltage input:

•VREF pin voltage buffered

•VREF pin voltage unbuffered

The buffered option is offered in cases where the exter-

nal reference voltage does not have sufficient current

capability to not drop its voltage when connected to the

internal resistor ladder circuit.

When the DAC’s voltage reference is configured as the

device VDD, the VREF pin is disconnected from the

internal circuit.

When the DAC’s voltage reference is configured as the

internal band gap, the VREF pin’s drive capability is min-

imal, so the output signal should be buffered.

There are two VREF pins, each corresponding to a

group of output channels. VREF0 is connected to even

channels: 0-6, while VREF1 is connected to odd

channels: 1-7. See Section 5.2 “Voltage Reference

Selection” and Register 4-2 for more details on the

configuration bits.

3.4

Analog Output Voltage Pins

(VOUTn)

VOUT is the DAC analog voltage output pin. The DAC

output has an output amplifier. The DAC output range

depends on the selection of the voltage reference

source (and potential output gain selection). These are:

• Device VDD – The full-scale range of the DAC

output is from VSS to approximately VDD.

•VREF Pin – The full-scale range of the DAC output

is from VSS to G × VRL, where G is the gain

selection option (1x or 2x).

• Internal Band Gap – The full-scale range of the

DAC output is from VSS to G × (2 × VBG), where G

is the gain selection option (1x or 2x).

In Normal mode, the DC impedance of the output pin is

about 1

. In Power-Down mode, the output pin is

internally connected to a known pull-down resistor of

, 125 k or open. The power-down selection bits

setting are shown in Register 4-3 and Table 5-4.

3.5

Latch Pin (LAT)/High-Voltage

Command Pin (HVC)

The DAC output value update event can be controlled

and synchronized using the LAT pins, for one or both

channels, on a single or different devices.

The LAT pins control the effect of the Volatile Wiper

registers, and the VRnB:VRnA, PDnB:PDnA and Gx

bits on the DAC output.

If the LAT pins are held at VIH, the values sent to the

Volatile Wiper registers and Configuration bits have no

effect on the DAC outputs.

Once voltage on the pin transitions to VIL, the values in

the Volatile Wiper registers and Configuration bits are

transferred to the DAC outputs.

The pin is level-sensitive, so writing to the Volatile

Wiper registers and Configuration bits, while it is being

held at VIL, will trigger an immediate change in the

outputs.

The HVC pin allows the device’s nonvolatile user

Configuration bits to be programmed when the voltage

on the pin is greater than the VIHH entry voltage.

3.6

SPI – Chip Select Pin (CS)

The CS pin enables/disables the serial interface. The

serial interface must be enabled for the SPI commands

to be received by the device. See Section 6.2 “SPI

Serial Interface” for more details on the SPI serial

interface communication.
