GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5398A is a single, 10-bit digital-to-analog converter
(DAC) with a current sink output capability of 120 mA. This
device features an internal reference and operates from a
single 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply. The DAC is controlled via a
2-wire (1.8 V, I
at clock rates up to 400 kHz.
The AD5398A incorporates a power-on reset circuit, which
ensures the DAC output powers up to 0 V and remains there
until a valid write takes place. It has a power-down feature
that reduces the current consumption of the device to 0.5 µA
typically.
The AD5398A is designed for autofocus, image stabilization,
and optical zoom applications in camera phones, digital still
cameras, and camcorders. The AD5398A is also suitable for
many industrial applications, such as controlling temperature,
light, and movement without derating, over temperatures
ranging from −30°C to +85°C. The I
AD5398A is 0x18 to 0x1F inclusive.

AD5398A
TERMINOLOGY
Relative Accuracy
For the DAC, relative accuracy or integral nonlinearity is a
measurement of the maximum deviation, in LSB, from a
straight line passing through the endpoints of the DAC transfer
function. A typical INL vs. code plot is shown in Figure 5.
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)
Differential nonlinearity is the difference between the measured
change and the ideal 1 LSB change between any two adjacent
codes. A specified differential nonlinearity of ±1 LSB maximum
ensures monotonicity. This DAC is guaranteed monotonic by
design. A typical DNL vs. code plot is shown in Figure 6.
Zero-Code Error
Zero-code error is a measurement of the output error when
zero code (0x0000) is loaded to the DAC register. Ideally, the
output is 0 mA. The zero-code error is always positive in the
AD5398A because the output of the DAC cannot go below
0 mA. This is due to a combination of the offset errors in the
DAC and output amplifier. Zero-code error is expressed in mA.
Gain Error
This is a measurement of the span error of the DAC. It is the
deviation in slope of the DAC transfer characteristic from the
ideal, expressed as a percent of the full-scale range.
Gain Error Drift
This is a measurement of the change in gain error with changes
in temperature. It is expressed in LSB/°C.
Digital-to-Analog Glitch Impulse
Digital-to-analog glitch impulse is the impulse injected into the
analog output when the input code in the DAC register changes
state. It is normally specified as the area of the glitch in nA-sec
and is measured when the digital input code is changed by
1 LSB at the major carry transition.
Digital Feedthrough
Digital feedthrough is a measurement of the impulse injected
into the analog output of the DAC from the digital inputs of
the DAC, however is measured when the DAC output is not
updated. It is specified in nA-sec and measured with a fullscale code change on the data bus, that is, from all 0s to all 1s
and vice versa.
Offset Error
Offset error is a measurement of the difference between I
(actual) and I
function, expressed in mA. Offset error is measured on the
AD5398A with Code 16 loaded into the DAC register.
Offset Error Drift
This is a measurement of the change in offset error with a
change in temperature. It is expressed in µV/°C.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD5398A is a fully integrated 10-bit DAC with 120 mA
output current sink capability and is intended for driving voice
coil actuators in applications such as lens autofocus, image stabilization, and optical zoom. The circuit diagram is shown in
Figure 16. A 10-bit current output DAC coupled with Resistor R
generates the voltage that drives the noninverting input of the
operational amplifier. This voltage also appears across the R
resistor and generates the sink current required to drive the
voice coil.
The R and R
resistors are interleaved and matched. There-
SENSE
fore, the temperature coefficient and any nonlinearities over
temperature are matched and the output drift over temperature
is minimized. Diode D1 is an output protection diode.

SERIAL INTERFACE
The AD5398A is controlled using the industry-standard I2C
2-wire serial protocol. Data can be written to or read from
the DAC at data rates up to 400 kHz. After a read operation,
the contents of the input register are reset to all zeros.
I2C BUS OPERATION
An I2C bus operates with one or more master devices that
generate the serial clock (SCL), and read/write data on the serial
data line (SDA) to/from slave devices such as the AD5398A. On
all devices on an I
line and the SDA pin is connected to the SDA line. I
can only pull the bus lines low; pulling high is achieved by the
pull-up resistors, R
bus capacitance, and the maximum load current that the I
device can sink (3 mA for a standard device).

When the bus is idle, SCL and SDA are both high. The master
device initiates a serial bus operation by generating a start
condition, which is defined as a high-to-low transition on the
SDA line while SCL is high. The slave device connected to the
bus responds to the start condition and shifts in the next eight
data bits under the control of the serial clock. These eight data
bits consist of a 7-bit address, plus a read/write bit, which is 0 if
data is to be written to a device, and 1 if data is to be read from a
device. Each slave device on an I
2
C bus must have a unique
address. The address of the AD5398A is 0001100; however,
0001101, 0001110, and 0001111 address the part because the
last two bits are unused/don’t care (see Figure 18 and Figure 19).
Because the address plus R/
W
bit always equals eight bits of data,
another way of looking at it is that the write address of the
AD5398A is 0001 1000 (0x18) and the read address is 0001 1001
(0x19). Again, Bit 6 and Bit 7 of the address are unused, and,
therefore, the write addresses can also be 0x1A, 0x1C, and 0x1E,
and the read address can be 0x1B, 0x1D, and 0x1F (see
and ).
Figure 19
At the end of the address data, after the R/
W
bit, the slave
Figure 18
device that recognizes its own address responds by generating
an acknowledge (ACK) condition. This is defined as the slave
device pulling SDA low while SCL is low before the ninth clock
pulse, and keeping it low during the ninth clock pulse. Upon
receiving an ACK, the master device can clock data into the
AD5398A in a write operation, or it can clock it out in a read
operation. Data must change either during the low period of the
clock, because SDA transitions during the high period define a
start condition as described previously, or during a stop condition as described in the section. Data Format
2
I
C data is divided into blocks of eight bits, and the slave
generates an ACK at the end of each block. The AD5398A
requires 10 bits of data; two data-words must be written to it
when a write operation occurs, or read from it when a read
operation occurs. At the end of a read or write operation, the
AD5398A acknowledges the second data byte. The master
generates a stop condition, defined as a low-to-high transition
on SDA while SCL is high, to end the transaction.

DATA FORMAT
Data is written to the AD5398A high byte first, MSB first, and is
shifted into the 16-bit input register. After all data is shifted in,
data from the input register is transferred to the DAC register.
The data format is shown in Tab l e 6. When referring to this table,
note that Bit 14 is unused; Bit 13 to Bit 4 correspond to the DAC
data bits, D9 to D0; and Bit 3 to Bit 0 are unused.
Because the DAC requires only 10 bits of data, not all bits of the

POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING AND GROUNDING
When accuracy is important in an application, it is beneficial
to consider power supply and ground return layout on the PCB.
The PCB for the AD5398A should have separate analog and
digital power supply sections. Where shared AGND and DGND
is necessary, the connection of grounds should be made at only
one point, as close as possible to the AD5398A.
Pay special attention to the layout of the AGND return path
and track it between the voice coil motor and I
any series resistance. Figure 20 shows the output current sink
of the AD5398A and illustrates the importance of reducing the
effective series impedance of AGND, and the track resistance
between the motor and I

coil is effectively a dc current that results in a voltage drop, V
when the AD5398A is sinking current; the effect of any series
inductance is minimal. The maximum voltage drop allowed
across R

For this reason, it is important to minimize any series impedance
on both the ground return path and interconnect between the
AD5398A and the motor.
The power supply of the AD5398A should be decoupled with
0.1 µF and 10 µF capacitors. These capacitors should be kept as
physically close as possible, with the 0.1 µF capacitor serving as
a local bypass capacitor, and therefore should be located as close
as possible to the V
pin. The 10 µF capacitor should be a
DD
tantalum bead-type; the 0.1 µF capacitor should be a ceramic
type with a low effective series resistance and effective series
inductance. The 0.1 µF capacitor provides a low impedance path
to ground for high transient currents.

The power supply line should have as large a trace as possible to
provide a low impedance path and reduce glitch effects on the
supply line. Clocks and other fast switching digital signals
should be shielded from other parts of the board by digital
ground. Avoid crossover of digital and analog signals if possible.
When traces cross on opposite sides of the board, ensure that
they run at right angles to each other to reduce feedthrough
effects through the board. The best board layout technique is to
use a multilayer board with ground and power planes, where
the component side of the board is dedicated to the ground
plane only and the signal traces are placed on the solder side.
However, this is not always possible with a 2-layer board.
and because the current is maintained as a constant, it is not as
critical as the purely resistive component of the ground return path.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The AD5398A is designed to drive both spring preloaded
and nonspring linear motors used in applications such as lens
autofocus, image stabilization, or optical zoom. The operating
principle of the spring-preloaded motor is that the lens position
is controlled by the balancing of a voice coil and a spring. Figure 21
shows the transfer curve of a typical spring preloaded linear
motor for autofocus. The key points of this transfer function are
displacement or stroke, which is the actual distance the lens
moves in millimeters (mm), and the current through the motor
in milliamps (mA).
A start current is associated with spring-preloaded linear motors,
which is effectively a threshold current that must be exceeded for
any displacement in the lens to occur. The start current is usually
20 mA or greater; the rated stroke or displacement is usually
0.25 mm to 0.4 mm; and the slope of the transfer curve is approximately 10 µm/mA or less.

The AD5398A is designed to sink up to 120 mA, which is
more than adequate for available commercial linear motors or
voice coils. Another factor that makes the AD5398A the ideal
solution for these applications is the monotonicity of the device,
which ensures that lens positioning is repeatable for the application of a given digital word.
Figure 22 shows a typical application circuit for the AD5398A.
