8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

The DACx3204 features a Hi-Z power-down mode that is set by default at power-up, unless the device is programmed otherwise using the NVM. When the DAC output is at Hi-Z, the current through R3 is zero and the SMPS is set at the nominal output voltage of 3.3 V. To have the same nominal condition when the DAC powers up, bring up the device at the same output as VFB (that is 0.6 V). This configuration makes sure there is no current through R3 even at power-up. Calculate R1 as (VOUT – VFB) / 100 µA = 27 kΩ.

To achieve ±10% margin-high and margin-low conditions, the DAC must sink or source additional current through R1. Calculate the current from the DAC (IMARGIN) using Equation 9 as 12 µA.

Equation 9. I M A R G I N = V O U T × 1 + M A R G I N - V F B R 1 - I N O M I N A L

where

  • IMARGIN is the margin current sourced or sinked from the DAC.
  • MARGIN is the percentage margin value divided by 100.
  • INOMINAL is the nominal current through R1 and R2.

To calculate the value of R3, first decide the DAC output range, and make sure to avoid the codes near zero-scale and full-scale for safe operation in the linear region. A DAC output of 20 mV is a safe consideration as the minimum output, and (1.8 V – 0.6 V – 20 mV = 1.18 V) as the maximum output. When the DAC output is at 20 mV, the power supply goes to margin high, and when the DAC output is at 1.18 V, the power supply goes to margin low. Calculate the value of R3 using Equation 10 as 48.3 kΩ. Choose a standard resistor value and adjust the DAC outputs. Choosing R3 = 47 kΩ makes the DAC margin high code as 1.164 V and the DAC margin low code as 36 mV.

Equation 10. R3=VDAC-VFBIMARGIN

When the DACx3204 are set in the current-output mode, the series resistor R3 is not required. Set the DAC output at the current-output range of –25 µA to +25 µA, and set the DAC code appropriately to achieve a margin current of ±12 µA.

The DACx3204 have a slew-rate feature that is used to toggle between margin high, margin low, and nominal outputs with a defined slew rate. See Section 7.6.7 for the slew-rate setting details.

Note:

The DAC-X-MARGIN-HIGH register value in DACx3204 results in the margin-low value at the power supply output. Similarly, the DAC-X-MARGIN-LOW register value in DACx3204 results in the margin-high value at the power-supply output.

The pseudocode for getting started with a power-supply control application is as follows:
