8.5 Programming

The DACx3608 devices have a 2-wire serial interface: SCL, SDA, and one address pin, A0, as shown in Pin Configurations and Functions. The I2CTM bus consists of a data line (SDA) and a clock line (SCL) with pull-up structures. When the bus is idle, both SDA and SCL lines are pulled high. All the I2CTM compatible devices connects to the I2CTM bus through open drain I/O pins, SDA and SCL.

The I2CTM specification states that the device that controls communication is called a master, and the devices that are controlled by the master are called slaves. The master device generates the SCL signal. The master device also generates special timing conditions (start condition, repeated start condition, and stop condition) on the bus to indicate the start or stop of a data transfer. Device addressing is completed by the master. The master device on an I2CTM bus is typically a microcontroller or a digital signal processor (DSP). The DACx3608 family operates as a slave device on the I2CTM bus. A slave device acknowledges master's commands and upon master's control, receives or transmits data.

Typically, the DACx3608 family operates as a slave receiver. A master device writes to the DACx3608, a slave receiver. However, if a master device requires the DACx3608 internal register data, the DACx3608 family operates as a slave transmitter. In this case, the master device reads from the DACx3608 According to I2CTM terminology, read and write refer to the master device.

The DACx3608 family is a slave and supports the following data transfer modes:

  • Standard mode (100 kbps)
  • Fast mode (400 kbps)
  • Fast+ mode (1.0 Mbps)

The data transfer protocol for standard and fast modes is exactly the same, therefore they are referred to as F/S-mode in this document. The fast+ mode protocol is supported in terms of data transfer speed, but not output current. The low-level output current would be 3 mA similar to the case of standard and fast modes. The DACx3608 family supports 7-bit addressing. The 10-bit addressing mode is not supported. The device supports the general call reset function. Sending the following sequence initiates a software reset within the device; Start/Repeated Start, 0x00, 0x06, Stop. The reset is asserted within the device on the rise edge of the ACK bit, following the second byte.

Other than specific timing signals, the I2CTM interface works with serial bytes. At the end of each byte, a ninth clock cycle generates and detects an acknowledge signal. Acknowledge is when the SDA line is pulled low during the high period of the ninth clock cycle. A not-acknowledge is when the SDA line is left high during the high period of the ninth clock cycle as shown in Figure 56.
