GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5551 and AD5552 are single, 14-bit, serial input, voltage
output DACs that operate from a single 5 V ± 10% supply.
The AD5551 and AD5552 utilize a versatile 3-wire interface that
is compatible with SPI, QSPI, MICROWIRE, and DSP interface standards.
These DACs provide 14-bit performance without any adjustments. The DAC output is unbuffered, which reduces power
consumption and offset errors contributed by an output buffer.
With an external op amp the AD5552 can be operated in bipolar mode generating a ±V
includes Kelvin sense connections for the reference and analog
ground pins to reduce layout sensitivity. For higher precision
applications, please refer to 16-bit DACs AD5541, AD5542,
and AD5544.
The AD5551 and AD5552 are available in an SO package.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. Single Supply Operation.
The AD5551 and AD5552 are fully specified and guaranteed
for a single 5 V ± 10% supply.
2. Low Power Consumption.
Typically 1.5 mW with a 5 V supply.
3. 3-Wire Serial Interface.
4. Unbuffered output capable of driving 60 kΩ loads, which
reduces power consumption as there is no internal buffer
to drive.
5. Power-On Reset Circuitry.

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although
the AD5551/AD5552 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur
on devices subjected to high-energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions
are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.
