DESCRIPTION
The DAC8555 is a 16-bit, quad channel voltage
output digital-to-analog converter (DAC) offering
low-power operation and a flexible serial host
interface. It offers monotonicity, good linearity, and
exceptionally low glitch. Each on-chip precision
output amplifier allows rail-to-rail output swing to be
achieved over the supply range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V. The
device supports a standard 3-wire serial interface
capable of operating with input data clock frequencies
up to 50 MHz for IOV
DD
= 5 V.
The DAC8555 requires an external reference voltage
to set the output range of each DAC channel. Also
incorporated into the device is a power-on reset
circuit which can be programmed to ensure that the
DAC outputs power up at zero-scale or mid-scale and
remain there until a valid write takes place. The
device also has the capability to function in both
binary and 2's complement mode. The DAC8555
provides a per channel power-down feature,
accessed over the serial interface, that reduces the
current consumption to 200 nA per channel at 5 V.
The low-power consumption of this device in normal
operation makes it ideally suited to portable battery-
operated
equipment
and
other
low-power
applications. The power consumption is 5 mW at 5 V,
reducing to 4 µW in power-down mode.
The DAC8555 is available in a TSSOP-16 package
with a specified operating temperature range of
–40°C to 105°C.

SLAS475A – NOVEMBER 2005 – REVISED DECEMBER 2005
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.

NAME
V
OUT
D
Analog output voltage DAC D.
Level-triggered control input (active LOW). This is the frame synchronization signal for the input data. When
SYNC goes LOW, it enables the input shift register and data is transferred in on the falling edges of the
following clocks. The DAC is updated following the 24th clock (unless SYNC is taken HIGH before this edge
in which case the rising edge of SYNC acts as an interrupt and the write sequence is ignored by the
DAC8555).
Serial clock input. Data can be transferred at rates up to 50 MHz.
Serial data input. Data is clocked into the 24-bit input shift register on each falling edge of the serial clock
input.
Digital input-output power supply
Asynchronous reset. Active low. If RST is low, all DAC channels reset either to zero scale (RSTSEL = 0) or to
midscale (RSTSEL = 1).
Reset select. If RSTSEL is low, input coding is binary; if high = 2's complement.
Active LOW, ENABLE LOW connects the SPI interface to the serial port.
Load DACs, rising edge triggered loads all DAC registers.
