The bias generator, output amplifiers, resistor strings, and other linear circuitry are all shut down in any of the
power-down modes. However, the contents of the DAC registers are unaffected when in power-down. Each DAC
register maintains its value prior to the ADC124S085 being powered down unless it is changed during the write
sequence which instructed it to recover from power down. Minimum power consumption is achieved in the
power-down mode with SYNC and D
IN
idled low and SCLK disabled. The time to exit power-down (Wake-Up
Time) is typically t
WU
, which is stated in the A.C. and Timing Characteristics table.
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
USING REFERENCES AS POWER SUPPLIES
While the simplicity of the DAC124S085 implies ease of use, it is important to recognize that the path from the
reference input (V
REFIN
) to the VOUTs will have essentially zero Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR).
Therefore, it is necessary to provide a noise-free supply voltage to V
REFIN
. In order to utilize the full dynamic
range of the DAC124S085, the supply pin (V
A
) and V
REFIN
can be connected together and share the same supply
voltage. Since the DAC124S085 consumes very little power, a reference source may be used as the reference
input and/or the supply voltage. The advantages of using a reference source over a voltage regulator are
accuracy and stability. Some low noise regulators can also be used. Listed below are a few reference and power
supply options for the DAC124S085.
LM4130
The LM4130, with its 0.05% accuracy over temperature, is a good choice as a reference source for the
DAC124S085. The 4.096V version is useful if a 0 to 4.095V output range is desirable or acceptable. Bypassing
the LM4130 VIN pin with a 0.1µF capacitor and the VOUT pin with a 2.2µF capacitor will improve stability and
reduce output noise. The LM4130 comes in a space-saving 5-pin SOT23.

LM4050
Available with accuracy of 0.44%, the LM4050 shunt reference is also a good choice as a reference for the
DAC124S085. It is available in 4.096V and 5V versions and comes in a space-saving 3-pin SOT23.
