ZHCSBK1C December 2006 – January 2018 DAC8560
PRODUCTION DATA.
The DAC8560 supports four separate modes of operation. These modes are programmable by setting two bits (PD1 and PD0) in the control register. Table 1 shows how to control the operating mode with data bits PD1 (DB17) and PD0 (DB16).
PD1 (DB17) | PD0 (DB16) | OPERATING MODE |
---|---|---|
0 | 0 | Normal operation |
0 | 1 | Power-down 1 kΩ to GND |
1 | 0 | Power-down 100 kΩ to GND |
1 | 1 | Power-down High-Z |
When both bits are set to 0, the device works normally with its typical current consumption of 530 μA at 5.5 V. However, for the three power-down modes, the supply current falls to 1.2 μA at 5.5 V (0.7 μA at 3.6 V). Not only does the supply current fall, but the output stage is also internally switched from the output of the amplifier to a resistor network of known values.
The advantage of this switching is that the output impedance of the device is known while it is in power-down mode. As shown in Table 1, there are three different power-down options. VOUT can be connected internally to GND through a 1-kΩ resistor, a 100-kΩ resistor, or open-circuited (High-Z). The output stage is shown in Figure 68.
All analog circuitry is shut down when the power-down mode is activated. However, the contents of the DAC register are unaffected when in power down. The time to exit power down is typically 2.5 μs for VDD = 5 V, and 5 μs for VDD = 3 V. See the Typical Characteristics: DAC at VDD = 5 V for more information.
