Table III lists the instruction set for the READ mode By the

appropriate setting of the global (G) and address (A1 and

A0) bits one can select a specific DAC to be read or one

can read all the DACs in succession starting with DAC 1

The RF bit determines whether the data changes on the

rising or the falling edge of the system clock With the RF

bit high the data changes on the rising edge that occurs 1

clock cycles after the end of the instruction byte With the

RF bit low the data changes on the falling edge that oc-

curs 1 clock cycle after the end of the instruction byte One

can choose to read the data back MSB first or LSB first by

setting the ML bit (See

Figures 3 and 4 )

An asynchronous update of all the DAC outputs can be

achieved by taking AU low The contents of the input regis-

ters are loaded into the DAC registers with the update oc-

curring on the falling edge of AU CS must be held high

during an asynchronous update

All DAC registers will have their contents reset to all zeros

on power up

Power Fail Function

If a power failure occurs on the system using the DAC0854

then the INT pin will be pulled low on the next power-up

cycle To force this output high again and reset this flag the

CS pin will have to be brought low When this is done the

INT output will be pulled high again via an external 10 kX

pull-up resistor This feature may be used by the microproc-

essor to discard data whose integrity is in question

Power Supplies

pins allow separate external bypass capacitors for the ana-

log and digital portions of the circuit To guarantee accurate

conversions the two supply pins should each be bypassed

with a 01 mF ceramic capacitor in parallel with a 10 mF

tantalum capacitor
