Original question:

DAC8811: DAC8811 behavior without code

DAC8811: how to get power-on reset certainly

Isao Kouno

Part Number: DAC8811

Hello, TI staff,

I designed 24 channels DAC board on which 24 DAC8811ICDGKTs were used.

TPn(n=1-to-24) are the outputs of OPamps which are connected to the outputs of DAC8811s as I/V converter.

I measured TPn after power-up. The results were that TPn of 21 channels were 0V but those of 3 channels were not 0V.

And their values of 3 channels changed every measurement.

The measurements were done under the conditions that SPI interface (CLK/CSb/SDI) was all floating.

These pins have no pull-up resistors and were not connected to controller (FPGA).

Please teach me the method to get TPn=0V on power-up certainly.

(1) Even though SPI interface is not connected to controller, pulling up CLK, CSb, and SDI to VDD with resistors (4.7kohm-10kohm) leads to TPn=0V?

(2) Do the following parameters affect power-on reset?

(a) the ramp rate of VDD

(b) the power supply sequence between VDD (DAC8811) and OPamp

Rigards,

    Hi,

    The initial shift registers are filled with zeros. However both the shift and DAC registers are filled with zeros during the power-on, on most of our devices usually they are set by the time the supply reaches ~2 V. This is because the chip has an OTP (one-time programmable) register that is responsible for setting the DAC to its default state during power-on.

    A very fast ramp rate on VDD can affect this behavior.

    At power up we recommend that all digital inputs should be at a valid state. Do not float these pins

    I suggest power up the supply for op amps first and then DAC.

    Regards,

    Hi,

    Thank you for your quick reply.　

    What circuit for digital inputs (CLK/CSb/SDI) satisfies “a valid state”?

    It means “pull-up resistors”?

    Or it requires not only circuit conditions but also digital code inputs?

    I would like to know the concrete circuit and the procedure at power up.

    Regards,

    Hi,

    Use pull up resistor (4.7K to 10K) on all digital inputs.
