3 Description
The 10-bit DAC53401 and 8-bit DAC43401 (DACx3401) are a pin-compatible family of buffered voltage-output digital-to-analog converters (DACs). These devices consume very low power, and are available in a tiny 8-pin WSON package. The feature set combined with the tiny package and low power make the DACx3401 an excellent choice for applications such as LED and general-purpose bias point generation, power supply control, digitizers, PWM signal generation, and medical alarm tone generation. These devices have nonvolatile memory (NVM), an internal reference, and a PMBus-compatible I2C interface. The DACx3401 operates with either an internal reference or the power supply as a reference, and provides full-scale output of 1.8 V to 5.5 V. The devices communicate through the I2C interface. These devices support I2C standard mode, fast mode, and fast+ mode. The DACx3401 are feature rich, and include PMBus voltage margin commands, user-programmable power up to high impedance, standalone waveform generator, medical alarm tone generator, dedicated feedback pin, and more. The DACx3401 operate within the temperature range of –40°C to +125°C.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The 10-bit DAC53401 and 8-bit DAC43401 (DACx3401) are a pin-compatible family of buffered voltage-output, digital-to-analog converters (DACs). These DACs contain nonvolatile memory (NVM), an internal reference, and a PMBus-compatible I2C interface. The DACx3401 operate with either an internal reference or with a power supply as the reference, and provide a full-scale output of 1.8 V to 5.5 V. The devices communicate through an I2C interface. These devices support I2C standard mode (100 kbps), fast mode (400 kbps), and fast+ mode (1 Mbps). These devices also support specific PMBus commands such as turn on/off, margin high/low, and more. The DACx3401 also include digital slew rate control, and support basic signal generation such as square, ramp, and sawtooth waveforms. The DACx3401 devices have a power-on-reset (POR) circuit that makes sure all the registers start with default or user-programmed settings using NVM. The DAC output powers on in high-impedance mode (default); this setting can be programmed to 10kΩ-GND using NVM.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) Architecture
The DACx3401 family of devices consists of string architecture with an output buffer amplifier. The Functional Block Diagram section shows the DAC architecture within the block diagram. This DAC architecture operates supply. The DAC output pin starts up in high impedance mode making it an excellent choice for power-supply control applications. To change the power-up mode to 10kΩ-GND, program the DAC_PDN bit (address: D1h), and load these bits in the device NVM.
8.3.1.1 Reference Selection and DAC Transfer Function
The device writes the input data to the DAC data registers in straight-binary format. After a power-on or a reset event, the device sets all DAC registers to the values set in the NVM.
8.3.1.1.1 Power Supply as Reference
By default, the DACx3401 operate with the power-supply pin (VDD) as a reference. Equation 1 shows DAC transfer function when the power-supply pin is used as reference. where:
- N is the resolution in bits, either 8 (DAC43401) or 10 (DAC53401).
- DAC_DATA is the decimal equivalent of the binary code that is loaded to the DAC register.
- DAC_DATA ranges from 0 to 2N – 1.
- VDD is used as the DAC reference voltage. (1)
8.3.1.1.2 Internal Reference
The DACx3401 also contain an internal reference that is disabled by default. Enable the internal reference by writing 1 to REF_EN (address D1h). The internal reference generates a fixed 1.21-V voltage (typical). Using DAC_SPAN (address D1h) bits, gain of 1.5X, 2X, 3X, 4X can be achieved for the DAC output voltage (VOUT) Equation 2 shows DAC transfer function when the internal reference is used. where:
- N is the resolution in bits, either 8 (DAC43401) or 10 (DAC53401).
- DAC_DATA is the decimal equivalent of the binary code that is loaded to the DAC register
- DAC_DATA ranges from 0 to 2N – 1.
- VREF is the internal reference voltage = 1.21 V.
- GAIN = 1.5x, 2x, 3x, 4x based on DAC_SPAN (address D1h) bits. (2)
8.3.2 DAC Update
The DAC output pin (OUT) is updated at the end of I2C DAC write frame.

8.5 Programming
devices connect to the I2C bus through the open drain I/O pins, SDA and SCL. and write refer to the master device.
- Standard mode (100 kbps)
- Fast mode (400 kbps)
- Fast+ mode (1.0 Mbps) The data transfer protocol for standard and fast modes is exactly the same; therefore, both modes are referred to as F/S-mode in this document. The fast+ mode protocol is supported in terms of data transfer speed, but not output current. The low-level output current would be 3 mA; similar to the case of standard and fast modes. The DACx3401 family supports 7-bit addressing. The 10-bit addressing mode is not supported. The device supports the general call reset function. Sending the following sequence initiates a software reset within the device: start or repeated start, 0x00, 0x06, stop. The reset is asserted within the device on the rising edge of the ACK bit, following the second byte. Other than specific timing signals, the I2C interface works with serial bytes. At the end of each byte, a ninth clock cycle generates and detects an acknowledge signal. Acknowledge is when the SDA line is pulled low during the high period of the ninth clock cycle. A not-acknowledge is when the SDA line is left high during the high period of the ninth clock cycle as shown in Figure 50.
Figure 50. Acknowledge and Not Acknowledge on the I2C Bus
8.5.1 F/S Mode Protocol
The following steps explain a complete transaction in F/S mode.
- The master initiates data transfer by generating a start condition. The start condition is when a high-to-low
recognize a start condition.
- The master then generates the SCL pulses, and transmits the 7-bit address and the read/write direction bit
Figure 52. All devices recognize the address sent by the master and compare the address to the respective detects this acknowledge, the communication link with a slave has been established.
- The master generates further SCL cycles to transmit (R/W bit 0) or receive (R/W bit 1) data to the slave. In
consists of 8-data bits and 1 acknowledge-bit, and can continue as long as necessary.
- To signal the end of the data transfer, the master generates a stop condition by pulling the SDA line from

9.2.2.1 Design Requirements
- Power supply nominal output: 3.3 V
- Reference voltage of the converter (VFB): 0.6 V
- Margin: ±10% (that is, 2.97 V to 3.63 V)
- DAC output range: 1.8 V
- Nominal current through R1 and R2: 100 µA
9.2.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
current through R3 even at power-up. Calculate R1 as (VOUT – VFB) / 100 µA = 27 kΩ. R1. Calculate the current from the DAC (IMARGIN) using Equation 7 as 12 µA.
- IMARGIN is the margin current sourced or sinked from the DAC.
- MARGIN is the percentage margin value divided by 100.
- INOMINAL is the nominal current through R1 and R2. (7) In order to calculate the value of R3, first decide the DAC output range, and make sure to avoid the codes near zero-scale and full-scale for safe operation in the linear region. A DAC output of 20 mV is a safe consideration as the minimum output, and (1.8 V – 0.6 V – 20 mV = 1.18 V) as the maximum output. When the DAC output is at 20 mV, the power supply goes to margin high, and when the DAC output is at 1.18 V, the power supply goes to margin low. Calculate the value of R3 usingEquation 8 as 48.3 kΩ. Choose a standard resistor value and adjust the DAC outputs. Choosing R3 = 47 kΩ makes the DAC margin high code as 1.164 V and the DAC margin low code as 36 mV.
