The AD5378 contains 32 14-bit DACs in one CSPBGA package.
The AD5378 provides a bipolar output range determined by the
voltages applied to the V
(+) and V
REF
(−) inputs. The maximum
REF
output voltage span is 17.5 V, corresponding to a bipolar output
range of −8.75 V to +8.75 V, and is achieved with reference voltages of V
The AD5378 guarantees operation over a wide V
(−) = −3.5 V and V

(+) = +5 V.

supply
range from ±11.4 V to ±16.5 V. The output amplifier headroom
requirement is 2.5 V operating with a load current of 1.5 mA,
and 2 V operating with a load current of 0.5 mA.
The AD5378 contains a double-buffered parallel interface in
which 14 data bits are loaded into one of the input registers
under the control of the
WR, CS
, and DAC channel address
pins, A0 to A7. It also has a 3-wire serial interface, which is
compatible with SPI®, QSPI™, MICROWIRE™, and DSP interface standards and can handle clock speeds of up to 50 MHz.

Channels
The DAC outputs are updated when the DAC registers receive
new data. All the outputs can be updated simultaneously by
taking the
LDAC
input low. Each channel has a programmable
gain and an offset adjust register.
Each DAC output is gained and buffered on-chip with respect
to an external REFGND input. The DAC outputs can also be
CLR
switched to REFGND via the
pin . Tab l e 1 a n d Ta b le 2
