INTERFACE CONTROL LOGIC
DAC A/DAC B (Pin 18)–DAC Selection. Active low for
DAC A and active high for DAC B.
WR (Pin 20)–WRITE. Active Low. Used to write data into
either DAC A or DAC B input registers, or active high latches
data into the input registers.
LDAC (Pin 19)–LOAD DAC. Active Low. Used to simulta-
neously transfer data from DAC A and DAC B input registers
to both DAC outputs. The DAC becomes transparent (activity
on the digital inputs appear at the analog output) when both
WR and LDAC are low. Data is latched into the output regis-
ters on the rising edge of LDAC.

WRITE TIMING CYCLES
Two timing diagrams are shown and are at the user’s discretion
which to use.
The TWO-CYCLE UPDATE, as the name implies, allows both
DAC registers to be loaded and the outputs updated in two
cycles. Data is first loaded into one DAC’s input register on the
first write cycle, and then new data loaded into the other DAC’s
input register while simultaneously updating both DAC outputs
on the second cycle.
The THREE-CYCLE UPDATE allows DAC A and DAC B
registers to be loaded and analog output to be updated at a later
time. The first two cycles load both DACs as above, and the
third cycle updates the outputs.
The LDAC and DAC A/DAC B control pins can be tied to-
gether and controlled with a single strobe. When using the DAC
in this configuration, DAC B must be loaded first.
