DAC53202: Time order for VREF ramping compared with VDD

Part Number: DAC53202

Hello team,

The VREF pin says "This pin must not ramp up before VDD.".

Are there specific orders for this timing? (ex. msec, nsec)

Best, Taketo

  • Hi Taketo,

    There is no specific timing requirement. The condition exists because ramping VREF before VDD can push current though the ESD cells on the pin or cause latch-up issues. This is dependent on the voltage difference between VREF and VDD directly, so as long as VDD is maintained at a voltage level above VREF during power up and power down, you can avoid these potential problems.
