Automatic test equipment Instrumentation Digitally controlled calibration Industrial control PLCs Programmable attenuator PRODUCT OVERVIEW The AD5545/AD5555 are 16-bit/14-bit, current-output, digitalto-analog converters designed to operate from a single 5 V supply with bipolar output up to 15 V capability. An external reference is needed to establish the full-scale output-current. An internal feedback resistor (RFB) enhances the resistance and temperature tracking when combined with an external op amp to complete the I-to-V conversion. A serial data interface offers high speed, 3-wire microcontroller compatible inputs using serial data in (SDI), clock (CLK), and chip select (CS). Additional LDAC function allows simultaneous update operation. The internal reset logic allows power-on preset and dynamic reset at either zero or midscale, depending on the state of the MSB pin. The AD5545/AD5555 are packaged in the compact TSSOP-16 package and can be operated from -40C to +85C. Rev. E Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and reliable.

E | Page 8 of 24 Data Sheet AD5545/AD5555 THEORY OF OPERATION The AD5545/AD5555 contain a 16-/14-bit, current-output, digital-to-analog converter, a serial-input register, and a DAC register. Both parts require a minimum of a 3-wire serial data interface with an additional LDAC for dual channel simultaneous update. DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG CONVERTER The DAC architecture uses a current-steering R-2R ladder design. Figure 17 shows the typical equivalent DAC. The DAC contains a matching feedback resistor for use with an external I-to-V converter amplifier. The RFB pin is connected to the output of the external amplifier. The IOUT terminal is connected to the inverting input of the external amplifier. These DACs are designed to operate with both negative or positive reference voltages. The VDD power pin is used only by the logic to drive the DAC switches on and off. Note that a matching switch is used in series with the internal 5 k feedback resistor. If users attempt to measure the RFB value, power must be applied to VDD to achieve continuity. The VREF input voltage and the digital data (D) loaded into the corresponding DAC register, according to Equation 1 and Equation 2, determine the DAC output voltage. VOUT = -VREF x D / 65,536 These DACs are also designed to accommodate ac reference input signals. The AD5545/AD5555 accommodate input reference voltages in the range of -12 V to +12 V. The reference voltage inputs exhibit a constant nominal input-resistance value of 5 k, 30%. The DAC output (IOUT) is code dependent, producing various output resistances and capacitances. When choosing an external amplifier, the user should take into account the variation in impedance generated by the AD5545/ AD5555 on the amplifiers inverting input node. The feedback resistance in parallel with the DAC ladder resistance dominates output voltage noise.

Finally, pull LDAC low and then high to update both the DAC A and DAC B outputs simultaneously. SERIAL DATA INTERFACE The AD5545/AD5555 use a minimum 3-wire (CS, SDI, CLK) serial data interface for single channel update operation. With Table 7 as an example (AD5545), users can tie LDAC low and RS high, then pull CS low for an 18-bit duration. New serial data is then clocked into the serial-input register in an 18-bit data-word format with the MSB bit loaded first. Table 8 defines the truth table for the AD5555. Data is placed on the SDI pin and clocked into the register on the positive clock edge of CLK. For the AD5545, only the last 18-bits clocked into the serial register are interrogated when the CS pin is strobed high, transferring the serial register data to the DAC register and updating the output. If the applied microcontroller outputs serial data in different lengths than the AD5545, such as 8-bit bytes, three right justified data bytes can be written to the AD5545. The AD5545 ignores the six MSB and recognizes the 18 LSB as valid data. After loading the serial register, the rising edge of CS transfers the serial register data to the DAC register and updates the output; during the CS strobe, the CLK should not be toggled. Table 6 shows that each DAC A and DAC B can be individually loaded with a new data value. In addition, a common new data value can be loaded into both DACs simultaneously by setting Bit A1 = A0 = high. This command enables the parallel combination of both DACs, with IOUTA and IOUTB tied together, to act as one DAC with significant improved noise performance. ESD Protection Circuits All logic input pins contain back-biased ESD protection Zeners connected to digital ground (DGND) and VDD as shown in Figure 19. VDD DIGITAL INPUTS 5k DGND If users want to program each channel separately but update them simultaneously, program LDAC and RS high initially, then pull CS low for an 18-bit duration and program DAC A with the proper address and data bits. CS is then pulled high to latch data to the DAC A register. At this time, the output is not updated. To 02918- 0- 007 Figure 19. Equivalent ESD Protection Circuits Table 4.

At this point, an internally generated load strobe transfers the serial register data contents (Bit D15 to Bit D0) to the decoded DAC input register address determined by Bit A1 and Bit A0. Any extra bits clocked into the AD5545 shift register are ignored; only the last 18 bits clocked in are used. If double-buffered data is not needed, the LDAC pin can be tied logic low to disable the DAC registers. Table 5.

At power-on, both the input register and the DAC register are loaded with all 0s. POWER-UP SEQUENCE It is recommended to power-up VDD and ground prior to any reference voltages. The ideal power-up sequence is AGNDx, DGND, VDD, VREFx, and digital inputs. A noncompliance power-up sequence can elevate reference current, but the device will resume normal operation once VDD is powered. (see Figure 20). Users should not apply switching regulators for VDD due to the power supply rejection ratio degradation over frequency. AD5545/ AD5555 VDD C2 LAYOUT AND POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING It is a good practice to employ compact, minimum lead length layout design. The input leads should be as direct as possible with a minimum conductor length. Ground paths should have low resistance and low inductance. Similarly, it is also good practice to bypass the power supplies with quality capacitors for optimum stability. Supply leads to the device should be bypassed with 0.01 F to 0.1 F disc or chip ceramic capacitors. Low ESR 1 F to 10 F tantalum or electrolytic capacitors should also be applied at VDD to minimize any transient disturbance and to filter any low frequency ripple + C1 10F VDD 0.1F AGNDX DGND 02918- 0- 008 Figure 20. Power Supply Bypassing and Grounding Connection GROUNDING The DGND and AGNDx pins of the AD5545/AD5555 refer to the digital and analog ground references. To minimize the digital ground bounce, the DGND terminal should be joined remotely at a single point to the analog ground plane (see Figure 20). Rev. E | Page 11 of 24 AD5545/AD5555 Data Sheet APPLICATIONS INFORMATION STABILITY BIPOLAR OUTPUT The AD5545/AD5555 is inherently a 2-quadrant multiplying DAC. It can easily be set up for unipolar output operation. The full-scale output polarity is the inverse of the reference input voltage. VDD U1 RFB VDD IOUT VREF VREF C1 VO AD8628 GND AD5545/AD5555 U2 02918- 0- 020 Figure 21. Operational Compensation Capacitor for Gain Peaking Prevention In the I-to-V configuration, the IOUT of the DAC and the inverting node of the op amp must be connected as close as possible, and proper PCB layout techniques must be employed. Because every code change corresponds to a step function, gain peaking may occur if the op amp has limited GBP, and if there is excessive parasitic capacitance at the inverting node. An optional compensation capacitor, C1, can be added for stability as shown in Figure 21. C1 should be found empirically, but 6 pF is generally more than adequate for the compensation. POSITIVE VOLTAGE OUTPUT To achieve the positive voltage output, an applied negative reference to the input of the DAC is preferred over the output inversion through an inverting amplifier because of the resistors' tolerance errors. To generate a negative reference, the reference can be level shifted by an op amp such that the VOUT and GND pins of the reference become the virtual ground and -2.5 V, respectively (see Figure 22). In some applications, it may be necessary to generate the full 4-quadrant multiplying capability or a bipolar output swing. This is easily accomplished by using an additional external amplifier, U4, configured as a summing amplifier (see Figure 23). In this circuit, the second amplifier, U4, provides a gain of 2, which increases the output span magnitude to 5 V. Biasing the external amplifier with a 2.5 V offset from the reference voltage results in a full 4-quadrant multiplying circuit. The transfer equation of this circuit shows that both negative and positive output voltages are created because the input data (D) is incremented from code zero (VOUT = -2.5 V) to midscale (VOUT = 0 V) to full scale (VOUT = +2.5 V). (3) VOUT = (D/8192 - 1) x VREF (AD5555) (4) For the AD5545, the external resistance tolerance becomes the dominant error that users should be aware of.

In addition to the precision current conversion it provides, this circuit enables a bidirectional current flow and high voltage compliance. This circuit can be used in a 4 mA to 20 mA current transmitter with up to a 500 of load. In Figure 24, it shows that if the resistor network is matched, the load current is If the resistors are perfectly matched, ZO is infinite, which is desirable, and the resistors behave as an ideal current source. On the other hand, if they are not matched, ZO can be either positive or negative. The latter can cause oscillation. As a result, C1 is needed to prevent the oscillation. For critical applications, C1 could be found empirically but typically falls in the range of a few picofarads. VDD (R2 + R3) IL = R1 R3 x VREF x D (5) U1 VDD RFB VREF R3, in theory, can be made small to achieve the current needed within the U3 output current driving capability. This circuit is versatile such that the AD8510 can deliver 20 mA in both directions, and the voltage compliance approaches 15 V, which is mainly limited by the supply voltages of U3. However, users must pay attention to the compensation. Without C1, it can be shown that the output impedance becomes R1 R3(R1 + R2 ) ZO = R1(R2 + R3) - R1(R2 + R3 ) (6) VREF IOUT GND AD5545/AD5555 AD8628 R1' R2' 150k 15k C1 10pF U2 VDD R3' 50 U3 V+ AD8510 V- R3 50 VSS R1 150k VL R2 15k LOAD IL 02918- 0- 023 Figure 24.

This approach optimizes the programmable range as well as facilitates future system upgrades with just software changes. Figure 25 shows this implementation.

DAC with Programmable Input Reference Range Rev. E | Page 14 of 24 Data Sheet AD5545/AD5555 REFERENCE SELECTION When selecting a reference for use with the AD55xx series of current output DACs, pay attention to the output voltage, temperature coefficient specification of the reference. Choosing a precision reference with a low output temperature coefficient minimizes error sources. Table 10 lists some of the references available from Analog Devices, Inc., that are suitable for use with this range of current output DACs. AMPLIFIER SELECTION The primary requirement for the current-steering mode is an amplifier with low input bias currents and low input offset voltage. Because of the code-dependent output resistance of the DAC, the input offset voltage of an op amp is multiplied by the variable gain of the circuit. A change in this noise gain between two adjacent digital fractions produces a step change in the output voltage due to the amplifier's input offset voltage. This output voltage change is superimposed upon the desired change in output between the two codes and gives rise to a differential linearity error, which, if large enough, can cause the DAC to be nonmonotonic. The input bias current of an op amp also generates an offset at the voltage output because of the bias current flowing in the feedback resistor, RFB. Common-mode rejection of the op amp is important in voltageswitching circuits because it produces a code-dependent error at the voltage output of the circuit. Provided that the DAC switches are driven from true wideband low impedance sources (VIN and AGND), they settle quickly. Consequently, the slew rate and settling time of a voltage-switching DAC circuit is determined largely by the output op amp. To obtain minimum settling time in this configuration, minimize capacitance at the VREF node (the voltage output node in this application) of the DAC. This is done by using low input capacitance buffer amplifiers and careful board design. Analog Devices offers a wide range of amplifiers for both precision dc and ac applications, as listed in Table 11 and Table 12. Table 10.
