7.5 Programming

7.5.1 Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)

The DAC82002 is controlled through a 3-wire serial peripheral interface (SPI) using SYNC, SCLK, and SDIN.

The serial interface operates at up to 50 MHz. The input shift register is 24-bits wide.

Table 7-1 shows the SPI frame format.

Serial clock SCLK is a continuous or a gated clock. The first falling edge of SYNC starts the operation cycle.

When SYNC is high, the SCLK and SDIN signals are blocked. The device internal registers are updated from the

shift register on the rising edge of SYNC.

7.5.1.1 SYNC Interrupt

For SPI operation, the SYNC line stays low for at least 24 falling edges of SCLK, and the addressed DAC

register updates on the SYNC rising edge. However, if the SYNC line is brought high before the 24th SCLK

falling edge, this event acts as an interrupt to the write sequence. The shift register resets and the write

sequence is discarded. As Figure 7-3 shows, the data buffer contents and the DAC register contents do not

update, and the operating mode does not change.
