BUFFER AMPLIFIER
The output buffer has a rail-to-rail output with short circuit protection and can drive a 2kΩ load with a 100pF load
capacitance. Settling time is 12.5µs typical to within 0.5LSB of final value.
EXTERNAL REFERENCE
The reference voltage input is buffered, which makes the DAC input resistance not code dependent. Therefore,
the REFIN input resistance is 10MΩ and the REFIN input capacitance is typically 5pF independent of input
code. The reference voltage determines the DAC full-scale output.
LOGIC INTERFACE
The logic inputs function with either TTL or CMOS logic levels. However, using rail-to-rail CMOS logic achieves
the lowest power dissipation. The power requirement increases by approximately 2 times when using TTL logic
levels.
SERIAL CLOCK AND UPDATE RATE
Figure 1 shows the TLC5615 timing. The maximum serial clock rate is:
f(SCLK)max
+
1
tw_ǒCHǓ ) tw_ǒCLǓ
or approximately 14MHz. The digital update rate is limited by the chip-select period, which is:
ǒ Ǔ tp(CS) + 16 tw_ǒCHǓ ) tw_ǒCLǓ ) tw_ǒCSǓ
and is equal to 820ns which is a 1.21MHz update rate. However, the DAC settling time to 10 bits of 12.5µs limits
the update rate to 80kHz for full-scale input step transitions.
SERIAL INTERFACE
When chip select (CS) is low, the input data is read into a 16-bit shift register with the input data clocked in most
significant bit first. The rising edge of the SLCK input shifts the data into the input register.
The rising edge of CS then transfers the data to the DAC register. When CS is high, input data cannot be
clocked into the input register. All CS transitions should occur when the SCLK input is low.
If the daisy chain (cascading) function (see daisy-chaining devices section) is not used, a 12-bit input data
sequence with the MSB first can be used as shown in Figure 10:
