Modes of Operation
The ADD8502 has various modes of operation, such as updating
both DACs simultaneously or changing the power-down status
(Sleep/Wake). These are selected by writing the appropriate
4-bit control code (C0–C3). The details for each mode are
summarized in Table II.
Low Power Serial Interface
To reduce the power consumption of the device ever further, the
interface only powers up fully when the device is being written
to. As soon as the 16-bit control word has been written to the
part, the SCK and D
IN
input buffers are powered down. They
only power up again following a falling edge of
CS-LD
.
Double-Buffered Interface
The ADD8502 has double-buffered interfaces consisting of two
banks of registers: input and DAC. The input register is con-
nected directly to the input shift register, and the digital code is
transferred to the relevant input register on completion of a
valid write sequence. The DAC register contains the digital
code used by the resistor string.
Access to the DAC register is controlled by the control codes,
C0 to C3. The user can update both DACs simultaneously as
well as individually. It depends on the selected control codes to
update individual output or both outputs simultaneously.
Initial Power-Up Condition
The ADD8502 has preset DAC conditions when its initially
powered on. The DACs are loaded with 1110 1011 11 for the
upper DAC and 0000 1010 00 for the lower DAC. The part is
powered up in a normal operation mode (Wake Status).
Power-Down Modes
The ADD8502 has two shutdown modes. One mode is to fully
shut down the device using
PSK
or the digital serial control code,
and the other mode is to shut down V1 to V3 buffers using GS1
and GS2. See Table III for the priority of the shutdown control
functions.
