DAC082S085: Wake up time issue

Part Number: DAC082S085
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DAC128S085EVM

Hello,

Our customer use the DAC082S085.

The customer use power down mode.

When the customer exit power down mode, there is tWU issue.

I attach the scope shot of issue.

DAC082S085_delay.pdf

It is mentioned the tWU is 6us typ @VA=3V on the datasheet.

When the customer exit power down mode after 8sec from set in power down mode,

the tWU is 4ms.

Do you have any idea what cause it?

Best Regards,

Naoki Aoyama

  • Hi Naoki,

    Thank you for your query. While I am checking the details with the design team, could you please share the schematics? If you don't want to share it on the public forum, you can send that as a private message to me.

  • Hi Uttam,

    Thank you for your reply.
    I will ask the customer to send the schematics.

  • Hi Uttam,

    Sorry, the customer could not give us the schematics, because it is made by end user.
    I only had information that the VOUTA, VOUTB connect to an input of buffer amp directly.

  • Hi Naoki,

    I have not been able to get an answer from the team till now due to the holidays. I will get back with an answer soon. Thank you for your patience.

  • Hi Naoki,

    The design team doesn't have any prior knowledge of this type of an issue. This being an old part, we would start with the system to see any root cause. Could you please let me know if there is any other activity/event happening in the system when the DAC is powered up after 8 sec? Do you see any such behavior between 1 sec and 8 sec, or it happens only after 8 sec of power down?

    As this particular part doesn't have an EVM, I am planning to test this behavior with the EVM of same family DAC128S085EVM and let you know about my findings. I will try to come back by end of this week.

  • Hi Uttam,

    Thank you for your reply and investigation.
    I will check the system of the customer.

    Regards,

  • Hi Uttam,

    I checked the customer.
    There is no activity/event happening in the system.

    There is new information.
    The customer have evaluated DAC under condition with variable temperature.
    The scope shot that I attached before, it is a result of evaluate at Ta=50 degree.
    When ambient temperature is 25 degree, the wake up time is about 50usec.
    There may be correlation between the wake up time and temperature.

    There is no issue when the duration of power down mode is less than 1sec,
    even if the temperature is 50 degree.

  • Hi Naoki,

    Is it possible to check whether the power-up delay happens at 25oC as well with 8 sec power down? This condition is not part of the datasheet specs - so, I am sure this was never tested at different temperatures. Does the customer have a problem with the delayed power-up?

    Regards,
    Uttam
  • Hi Uttam,

    The customer already checked the power-up delay at 25oC with 8sec power down.
    It is between 50usec and 60usec.
    When the duration of the power down is less than 1 sec, it is in spec.

    The customer does not have a problem.
    The customer want to know the root cause of the power-up delay.
    If it is normal behavior, the customer consider it and use it.

  • Hi Naoki,

    I couldn't get a very definitive answer from the design team as this is an old part. However, what I got to know from them is that sometimes the internal biasing circuits have temperature dependence and there is a possibility that this is slowing down the rampup when operated at a higher temperature. Unfortunately, this spec is not characterized for this device. But I would say that there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this device - so, the customer can go ahead and use this. I will try to see if we can incorporate this spec in the future designs.

    Hope that answers your question.

  • Hi Uttam,

    Thank you for your reply.
    Could you try to reproduce this behavior with the DAC128S085EVM?

  • Hi Naoki,

    My apologies for replying late. I am trying to test your condition on the DAC128S085EVM. However, due to the some resource constraint on thermal chamber, this is going to take some time. I will try my best to complete it this week. But in case I am not able to do, I should be able to do it only in the week of 23rd as I will be on travel next week. Thank you for being patient.

    Please let me know if that works for you.

    Uttam
  • Hello Uttam,

    Thank you for your support.
    Even if it at room temperature, it occur delay with the duration of the shut down more than 8sec.
    I thought it does not need a thermal chamber.
    I will wait for your test.

    Regards,
    Naoki Aoyama
  • Hi Naoki,

    I am a bit confused now. You mentioned that this occurs only with elevated temperature. I will anyway test with the other EVM and let you know.

    Regards,
    Uttam
  • Hi Naoki,

    I couldn't manage to test the scenario on the EVM before I could start for a week's travel. Could you please confirm again whether the condition occured with elevated temperature of not?

    Regards,
    Uttam
  • Hi Uttam,

    The delay time is form 50us to 60us at room temperature and 4ms at 50 degree.
    It may be relation on temperature.
    (The customer use this DAC at VCC=3V. )

    Regards,
    Naoki Aoyama
  • Hi Naoki,

    Thanks for the confirmation. Due to my travel this week, I will be able to test this out on the EVM next week. I will let you know about my findings. Thanks a lot for the patience.

    Regards,
    Uttam
  • Hi Naoki,

    I was unable to arrange a thermal chamber this week for the test. I should be able to do this by early next week.

    Regards,
    Uttam
  • Hi Uttam,

    Thank you for your a lot of supports.
    I will wait for your investigation.

  • Hi Naoki,

    I have not been able to arrange the thermal chamber till now. My apologies for the delay. I am trying to finish it at the earliest. Please give a a couple of more days. I will get back with the results.

    Regards,
    Uttam
  • Hi Uttam,

    Thank you for your support.
    Is there any update?

    Regards,
    Naoki Aoyama
  • Hi Naoki,

    My apologies for the delay. I have not yet been able to arrange the chamber yet. My lab team has assured it by MO this week. I hope to complete the test for you. Thanks a lot for the patience.

    Regards,
    Uttam
  • Hi Uttam,

    I see.
    I will tell the customer to wait a little more.

    Regards,
    Naoki Aoyama
  • Hi Naoki,

    First of all my apologies for this long delay in resolving this issue. I finally managed to get a thermal chamber and reproduced your use case. What you are observing is repeatable on DAC128S085EVM that is from the same family of devices and I observed that the wake-up time is dependent on temperature.

    Hope that clarifies. I am closing the thread. Please let me know in case you need any support in future.

    Regards,
    Uttam
  • Hi Uttam,

    Thank you for your investigation.
    I will feedback the customer this information.

    Thank you very much.
