Texas Instruments provides a layout and routing guide in the DAC7551 application note (SLAA443) that recommends keeping analog and digital signals separate, using a solid ground plane, and minimizing trace lengths and loops to reduce noise and ensure accurate performance.
To achieve a bipolar output, you can use an external op-amp to level-shift and amplify the output of the DAC7551IDRNTG4. Texas Instruments provides an example circuit in the DAC7551 datasheet (Figure 34) that shows how to achieve a ±5V output range using an op-amp and a few external resistors.
The maximum update rate of the DAC7551IDRNTG4 is 30 kSPS, and it affects the power consumption by increasing the current drawn from the supply voltage. According to the datasheet, the power consumption increases by approximately 1 mA for every 10 kSPS of update rate.
Texas Instruments recommends using a low-noise, low-dropout regulator (LDO) to power the DAC7551IDRNTG4, and decoupling the power supply lines with 10 μF and 0.1 μF capacitors. Additionally, a 100 nF capacitor should be placed between the VREF pin and ground to filter out noise on the reference voltage.
The DAC7551IDRNTG4 has a specified temperature range of -40°C to 125°C, and its accuracy and linearity are affected by temperature. According to the datasheet, the integral nonlinearity (INL) and differential nonlinearity (DNL) specifications degrade by approximately 1 LSB/°C. It is recommended to use temperature compensation or calibration to maintain accuracy and linearity over the operating temperature range.
