GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5735 is a quad-channel voltage and current output DAC
that operates with a power supply range from −26.4 V to +33 V.

AD5735
On-chip dynamic power control minimizes package power
dissipation in current mode. This reduced power dissipation
is achieved by regulating the voltage on the output driver from
7.4 V to 29.5 V using a dc-to-dc boost converter optimized for
minimum on-chip power dissipation.
The AD5735 uses a versatile 3-wire serial interface that operates
at clock rates of up to 30 MHz and is compatible with standard
SPI, QSPI™, MICROWIRE®, DSP, and microcontroller interface
standards. The serial interface also features optional CRC-8 packet
error checking, as well as a watchdog timer that monitors activity
on the interface.

TERMINOLOGY
Relative Accuracy or Integral Nonlinearity (INL)
Relative accuracy, or integral nonlinearity (INL), is a measure
of the maximum deviation from the best fit line through the
DAC transfer function. INL is expressed in percent of full-scale
range (% FSR). Typical INL vs. code plots are shown in Figure 8
and Figure 31.
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)
Differential nonlinearity (DNL) is the difference between the
measured change and the ideal 1 LSB change between any two
adjacent codes. A specified DNL of ±1 LSB maximum ensures
monotonicity. The AD5735 is guaranteed monotonic by design.
Typical DNL vs. code plots are shown in Figure 9 and Figure 32.
Monotonicity
A DAC is monotonic if the output either increases or remains
constant for increasing digital input code. The AD5735 is
monotonic over its full operating temperature range.
Negative Full-Scale Error or Zero-Scale Error
Negative full-scale error is the error in the DAC output voltage
when 0x0000 (straight binary coding) is loaded to the DAC
register.
Zero-Scale Temperature Coefficient (TC)
Zero-scale TC is a measure of the change in zero-scale error
with a change in temperature. Zero-scale TC is expressed in
ppm FSR/°C.
Bipolar Zero Error
Bipolar zero error is the deviation of the analog output from the
ideal half-scale output of 0 V when the DAC register is loaded
with 0x8000 (straight binary coding).
Bipolar Zero Temperature Coefficient (TC)
Bipolar zero TC is a measure of the change in the bipolar zero
error with a change in temperature. It is expressed in ppm
FSR/°C.
Offset Error
In voltage output mode, offset error is the deviation of the
analog output from the ideal quarter-scale output when the
DAC is configured for a bipolar output range and the DAC
register is loaded with 0x4000 (straight binary coding).
In current output mode, offset error is the deviation of the
analog output from the ideal zero-scale output when all DAC
registers are loaded with 0x0000.
Offset Error Drift or Offset TC
Offset error drift, or offset TC, is a measure of the change in
offset error with changes in temperature and is expressed in
ppm FSR/°C.
Gain Error
Gain error is a measure of the span error of the DAC. It is the
deviation in slope of the DAC transfer function from the ideal,
expressed in % FSR.
Gain Temperature Coefficient (TC)
Gain TC is a measure of the change in gain error with changes
in temperature and is expressed in ppm FSR/°C.
Full-Scale Error
Full-scale error is a measure of the output error when full-scale
code is loaded to the DAC register. Ideally, the output should be
full-scale − 1 LSB. Full-scale error is expressed in % FSR.
Full-Scale Temperature Coefficient (TC)
Full-scale TC is a measure of the change in full-scale error with
changes in temperature and is expressed in ppm FSR/°C.
Tot a l U n ad ju s te d E rr o r ( TU E)
Total unadjusted error (TUE) is a measure of the output error
that includes all the error measurements: INL error, offset error,
gain error, temperature, and time. TUE is expressed in % FSR.
DC Crosstalk
DC crosstalk is the dc change in the output level of one DAC in
response to a change in the output of another DAC. It is measured
with a full-scale output change on one DAC while monitoring
another DAC, which is at midscale.
Current Loop Compliance Voltage
The current loop compliance voltage is the maximum voltage
at the I
programmed value.
Voltage Reference Thermal Hysteresis
Voltage reference thermal hysteresis is the difference in output
voltage measured at +25°C compared to the output voltage
measured at +25°C after cycling the temperature from +25°C to
−40°C to +105°C and back to +25°C. The hysteresis is specified
for the first and second temperature cycles and is expressed in ppm.
Output Voltage Settling Time
Output voltage settling time is the amount of time it takes
for the output to settle to a specified level for a full-scale input
change. Plots of settling time are shown in Figure 23, Figure 48,
and Figure 49.
Slew Rate
The slew rate of a device is a limitation in the rate of change of
the output voltage. The output slewing speed of a voltage output
DAC is usually limited by the slew rate of the amplifier used at
its output. Slew rate is measured from 10% to 90% of the output
signal and is given in V/µs.
Power-On Glitch Energy
Power-on glitch energy is the impulse injected into the analog
output when the AD5735 is powered on. It is specified as the
area of the glitch in nV-sec (see Figure 28 and Figure 45).

Digital-to-Analog Glitch Energy
Digital-to-analog glitch energy is the impulse injected into
the analog output when the input code in the DAC register
changes state but the output voltage remains constant. It is
normally specified as the area of the glitch in nV-sec and is
measured when the digital input code is changed by 1 LSB at
the major carry transition (~0x7FFF to 0x8000). See Figure 25.
Glitch Impulse Peak Amplitude
Glitch impulse peak amplitude is the peak amplitude of the
impulse injected into the analog output when the input code in
the DAC register changes state. It is specified as the amplitude
of the glitch in mV and is measured when the digital input code
is changed by 1 LSB at the major carry transition (~0x7FFF to
0x8000). See Figure 25.
Digital Feedthrough
Digital feedthrough is a measure of the impulse injected into
the analog output of the DAC from the digital inputs of the
DAC but is measured when the DAC output is not updated. It is
specified in nV-sec and measured with a full-scale code change
on the data bus.
DAC-to-DAC C rosst a l k
DAC-to-DAC crosstalk is the glitch impulse transferred to the
output of one DAC due to a digital code change and a subsequent
output change of another DAC. DAC-to-DAC crosstalk includes
both digital and analog crosstalk. It is measured by loading one
DAC with a full-scale code change (all 0s to all 1s and vice versa)

The energy of the glitch is expressed in nV-sec.
Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR)
PSRR indicates how the output of the DAC is affected by changes
in the power supply voltage.
Reference Temperature Coefficient (TC)
Reference TC is a measure of the change in the reference output
voltage with changes in temperature. It is expressed in ppm/°C.
Line Regulation
Line regulation is the change in the reference output voltage due
to a specified change in supply voltage. It is expressed in ppm/V.
Load Regulation
Load regulation is the change in the reference output voltage due
to a specified change in load current. It is expressed in ppm/mA.
DC-to-DC Converter Headroom
DC-to-DC converter headroom is the difference between the
voltage required at the current output and the voltage supplied
by the dc-to-dc converter (see Figure 51).

THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD5735 is a quad, precision digital-to-current loop and
voltage output converter designed to meet the requirements of
industrial process control applications. It provides a high precision,
fully integrated, low cost, single-chip solution for generating
current loop and unipolar/bipolar voltage outputs.
The current ranges available are 0 mA to 20 mA, 4 mA to 20 mA,
and 0 mA to 24 mA. The voltage ranges available are 0 V to 5 V,
±5 V, 0 V to 10 V, and ±10 V. The current and voltage outputs
are available on separate pins, and only one output is active at
any one time. The output configuration is user-selectable via the
DAC control register.
On-chip dynamic power control minimizes package power
dissipation in current mode (see the Dynamic Power Control
section).
DAC ARCHITECTURE
The DAC core architecture of the AD5735 consists of two
matched DAC sections. A simplified circuit diagram is shown
in Figure 69. The four MSBs of the 12-bit data-word are decoded
to drive 15 switches, E1 to E15. Each switch connects one of
15 matched resistors either to ground or to the reference buffer
output. The remaining eight bits of the data-word drive Switch S0
to Switch S7 of an 8-bit voltage mode R-2R ladder network.

The voltage output from the DAC core can be
•Buffered and scaled to output a software selectable
unipolar or bipolar voltage range (see Figure 70)
•Converted to a current, which is then mirrored to the
supply rail so that the application sees only a current
source output (see Figure 71)
Both the voltage and current outputs are supplied by V
The current and voltage are output on separate pins and cannot
be output simultaneously. The current and voltage output pins
of a channel can be tied together (see the Voltage and Current
Output Pins on the Same Terminal section).
The voltage output amplifier is capable of generating both
unipolar and bipolar output voltages. It is capable of driving a
load of 1 kΩ in parallel with 1 µF (with an external compensation capacitor) to AGND. The source and sink capabilities
of the output amplifier are shown in Figure 22. The slew rate is
1.9 V/µs with a full-scale settling time of 18 µs max (10 V step).

tion. The difference in voltage between +V
should be added directly to the headroom requirement.
Driving Large Capacitive Loads
The voltage output amplifier is capable of driving capacitive
loads of up to 2 µF with the addition of a 220 pF, nonpolarized
compensation capacitor on each channel. The 220 pF capacitor
is connected between the COMP
LV_ x
Care should be taken to choose an appropriate value of compensation capacitor. This capacitor, while allowing the AD5735
to drive higher capacitive loads and reduce overshoot, increases
the settling time of the part and, therefore, affects the bandwidth
of the system. Without the compensation capacitor, capacitive
loads of up to 10 nF can be driven.
Reference Buffers
The AD5735 can operate with either an external or internal
reference. The reference input requires a 5 V reference for
specified performance. This input voltage is then buffered
before it is applied to the DAC.

Data Sheet AD5735
POWER-ON STATE OF THE AD5735
On initial power-up of the AD5735, the state of the power-on
reset circuit is dependent on the power-on condition (POC) pin.
•If POC = 0, both the voltage output and current output
channels power up in tristate mode.
•If POC = 1, the voltage output channel powers up with
a 30 kΩ pull-down resistor to ground, and the current
output channel powers up in tristate mode.
The output ranges are not enabled, but the default output range
is 0 V to 5 V, and the clear code register is loaded with all 0s.
Therefore, if the user clears the part after power-up, the output
is actively driven to 0 V if the channel has been enabled for clear.
After device power on, or a device reset, it is recommended to
wait 100 s or more before writing to the device to allow time
for internal calibrations to take place.
Simultaneous Updating of All DACs
To update all DACs simultaneously,
data is clocked into the DAC data register. After
LDAC
is held high while
LDAC
is taken
high, only the first write to the DAC data register of each channel
is valid; subsequent writes to the DAC data register are ignored,
although these subsequent writes are returned if a readback is
initiated. All DAC outputs are updated by taking

SERIAL INTERFACE
The AD5735 is controlled by a versatile 3-wire serial interface
that operates at clock rates of up to 30 MHz and is compatible
with SPI, QSPI, MICROWIRE, and DSP standards. Data coding
is always straight binary.
Input Shift Register
The input shift register is 24 bits wide. Data is loaded into the
device MSB first as a 24-bit word under the control of the serial
clock input, SCLK. Data is clocked in on the falling edge of SCLK.
If packet error checking (PEC) is enabled, an additional eight
bits must be written to the AD5735, creating a 32-bit serial
interface (see the Packet Error Checking section).
The DAC outputs can be updated in one of two ways: individual
DAC updating or simultaneous updating of all DACs.
Individual DAC Updating
To update an individual DAC,
clocked into the DAC data register. The addressed DAC output
is updated on the rising edge of
for timing information.

Register Description
Main Control Register
DAC Control Registers
Software Register
DC-to-DC Control Register
Slew Rate Control Registers
The four DAC data registers (one register per DAC channel) are used to write a DAC code to each DAC
channel. The DAC data bits are D15 to D4.
The four gain registers (one register per DAC channel) are used to program the gain trim on a per-channel
basis. The gain data bits are D15 to D4.
The four offset registers (one register per DAC channel) are used to program the offset trim on a per-channel
basis. The offset data bits are D15 to D4.
The four clear code registers (one register per DAC channel) are used to program the clear code on a perchannel basis. The clear code data bits are D15 to D4.
The main control register is used to configure functions for the entire part. These functions include the
following: enabling status readback during a write; enabling the output on all four DAC channels simultaneously; power-on of the dc-to-dc converter on all four DAC channels simultaneously; and enabling and
configuring the watchdog timer. For more information, see the Main Control Register section.
The four DAC control registers (one register per DAC channel) are used to configure the following functions
on a per-channel basis: output range (for example, 4 mA to 20 mA or 0 V to 10 V); selection of the internal
current sense resistor or an external current sense resistor; enabling/disabling the use of a clear code;
enabling/disabling overrange on a voltage channel; enabling/disabling the internal circuitry (dc-to-dc
converter, DAC, and internal amplifiers); power-on/power-off of the dc-to-dc converter; and enabling/
disabling the output channel.
The software register is used to perform a reset, to toggle the user bit in the status register, and, as part of
the watchdog timer feature, to verify correct data communication operation.
The dc-to-dc control register is used to set the control parameters for the dc-to-dc converter: maximum
output voltage, phase, and switching frequency. This register is also used to select the internal compensation resistor or an external compensation resistor for the dc-to-dc converter.
The four slew rate control registers (one register per DAC channel) are used to program the slew rate of
the DAC output.

ENABLING THE OUTPUT
To correctly write to and set up the part from a power-on
condition, use the following sequence:
1. Perform a hardware or software reset after initial power-on.
2. Configure the dc-to-dc converter supply block. Set the
dc-to-dc switching frequency, the maximum output voltage
allowed, and the dc-to-dc converter phase between channels.
3. Configure the DAC control register on a per-channel basis.
Select the output range, and enable the dc-to-dc converter
block (DC_DC bit). Other control bits can also be configured. Set the INT_ENABLE bit, but do not set the OUTEN
(output enable) bit.
4. Write the required code to the DAC data register. This step
implements a full internal DAC calibration. For reduced
output glitch, allow at least 200 µs before performing Step 5.
5. Write to the DAC control register again to enable the
output (set the OUTEN bit).
REPROGRAMMING THE OUTPUT RANGE
When changing the range of an output, the same sequence
described in the Enabling the Output section should be used.
It is recommended that the range be set to 0 V (zero scale or
midscale) before the output is disabled. Because the dc-to-dc
switching frequency, maximum output voltage, and phase have
already been selected, there is no need to reprogram these values.
Figure 74 provides a flowchart of this sequence.

Gain Register
The 12-bit gain register allows the user to adjust the gain of
each channel in steps of 1 LSB. To write to the gain register of
one DAC channel, set the DREG[2:0] bits to 010 (see Tabl e 14 ).
To write the same gain code to all four DAC channels at the
same time, set the DREG[2:0] bits to 011. The gain register
coding is straight binary, as shown in Tab l e 1 5 . The default code
in the gain register is 0xFFFF. The maximum recommended
gain trim is approximately 50% of the programmed range to
maintain accuracy (for more information, see the Digital Offset
and Gain Control section).
Offset Register
The 12-bit offset register allows the user to adjust the offset
of each channel by −2048 LSB to +2047 LSB in steps of 1 LSB.
To write to the offset register of one DAC channel, set the
DUT_AD1 DUT_AD0 DREG2 DREG1 DREG0 DAC_AD1 DAC_AD0 D15 to D4 D3 to D0
DREG[2:0] bits to 100 (see Tab le 1 6). To write the same offset
code to all four DAC channels at the same time, set the DREG[2:0]
bits to 101. The offset register coding is straight binary, as shown in
Tabl e 1 7 . The default code in the offset register is 0x8000, which
results in zero offset programmed to the output (for more information, see the Digital Offset and Gain Control section).
Clear Code Register
The 12-bit clear code register allows the user to set the clear
value of each channel. To configure a channel to be cleared
when the CLEAR pin is activated, set the CLR_EN bit in the
DAC control register for that channel (see Tabl e 24 ). To write
to the clear code register, set the DREG[2:0] bits to 110 (see
Tabl e 1 8 ). The default clear code is 0x0000 (for more information, see the Asynchronous Clear section).

CONTROL REGISTERS
When writing to a control register, the format shown in Tabl e 1 9
must be used. See Tab l e 12 for information about the configuration of Bit D23 to Bit D16. The control registers are addressed
by setting the DREG[2:0] bits (Bits[D20:D18] in the input shift
register) to 111 and then setting the CREG[2:0] bits to select the
specific control register (see Tab l e 2 0 ).
Table 19. Input Shift Register for a Write Operation to a Control Register
The main control register options are shown in Tab le 2 1 and
Tabl e 2 2 . See the Device Features section for more information
about the features controlled by the main control register.
POC The POC bit determines the state of the voltage output channels during normal operation.
POC = 0: the output goes to the value set by the POC hardware pin when the voltage output is not enabled (default).
POC = 1: the output goes to the opposite value of the POC hardware pin when the voltage output is not enabled.
STATREAD Enable status readback during a write. See the Status Readback During a Write section.
0 = disable status readback (default).
1 = enable status readback.
EWD Enable the watchdog timer. See the Watchdog Timer section.
0 = disable the watchdog timer (default).
1 = enable the watchdog timer.
WD1, WD0 Timeout select bits. Used to select the timeout period for the watchdog timer.
WD1 WD0 Timeout Period (ms)

ShtCctLim Programmable short-circuit limit on the V
pin in the event of a short-circuit condition.
OUT_x
0 = 16 mA (default).
1 = 8 mA.
OUTEN_ALL
Setting this bit to 1 enables the output on all four DACs simultaneously. Do not use the OUTEN_ALL bit when using the
OUTEN bit in the DAC control register.
DCDC_ALL
Setting this bit to 1 powers up the dc-to-dc converter on all four channels simultaneously. To power down the dc-to-dc
converters, all channel outputs must first be disabled. Do not use the DCDC_ALL bit when using the DC_DC bit in the
DAC control register.

DAC Control Register
The DAC control register is used to configure each DAC channel. The DAC control register options are shown in Tab l e 2 3 and Tabl e 2 4 .
CLR_EN Per-channel clear enable bit. This bit specifies whether the selected channel is cleared when the CLEAR pin is activated.
OUTEN Enables or disables the selected output channel.
RSET Selects the internal current sense resistor or an external current sense resistor for the selected DAC channel.

1 1 0 0 mA to 24 mA current range
Powers up the dc-to-dc converter, DAC, and internal amplifiers for the selected channel. This bit applies to individual
channels only; it does not enable the output. After setting this bit, it is recommended that a >200 μs delay be observed
before enabling the output to reduce the output enable glitch. See Figure 29 and Figure 46 for plots of this glitch.
0 = channel is not cleared when the part is cleared (default).
1 = channel is cleared when the part is cleared.
Powers up or powers down the dc-to-dc converter on the selected channel. All dc-to-dc converters can be powered up
simultaneously using the DCDC_ALL bit in the main control register. To power down the dc-to-dc converter, the OUTEN
and INT_ENABLE bits must also be set to 0.
0 = dc-to-dc converter is powered down (default).
1 = dc-to-dc converter is powered up.
The software register allows the user to perform a software reset of
the part. This register is also used to set the user toggle bit, D11,
in the status register and as part of the watchdog timer feature
when that feature is enabled.
Bit D12 in the software register can be used to ensure that
communication has not been lost between the MCU and the
AD5735 and that the datapath lines are working properly (that
is, SDIN, SCLK, and
SYNC
).

This bit is mapped to Bit D11 of the status register. When this bit is set to 1, Bit D11 of the status register is set to 1.
When this bit is set to 0, Bit D11 of the status register is also set to 0. This feature can be used to ensure that the SPI
pins are working correctly by writing a known bit value to this register and then reading back Bit D11 from the
status register.
Reset Code/SPI Code
Option Description
Reset code Writing 0x555 to Bits[D11:D0] performs a software reset of the AD5735.
SPI code
If the watchdog timer feature is enabled, 0x195 must be written to the software register
(Bits[D11:D0]) within the programmed timeout period (see Table 22).
When the watchdog timer feature is enabled, the user must write
0x195 to Bits[D11:D0] of the software register within the timeout
period. If this command is not received within the timeout period,
the ALERT pin signals a fault condition. This command is only
required when the watchdog timer feature is enabled.
DC-to-DC Control Register
The dc-to-dc control register allows the user to configure the
dc-to-dc switching frequency and phase, as well as the maximum allowable dc-to-dc output voltage. The dc-to-dc control
register options are shown in Ta bl e 27 and Ta bl e 28 .

Readback Example
To read back the gain register of AD5735 Device 1, Channel A,
implement the following sequence:
1. Write 0xA80000 to the input register to configure Device
Address 1 for read mode with the gain register of Channel A
selected. The data bits, D15 to D0, are don’t care bits.
2. Execute another read command or a no operation com-

FAULT OUTPUT
The AD5735 is equipped with a
open-drain output that allows several devices to be
connected together to one pull-up resistor for global fault
detection. The
FAU LT
pin is forced active by any one of the
following fault conditions:
•The voltage at I

range due to an open-loop circuit or insufficient power
supply voltage. The internal circuitry that develops the
fault output avoids using a comparator with windowed
limits because this requires an actual output error before

the
output becomes active. Instead, the signal is
generated when the internal amplifier in the output stage
has less than approximately 1 V of remaining drive
capability. Thus, the
before the compliance limit is reached.
•A short circuit is detected on a voltage output pin. The
short-circuit current is limited to 16 mA or 8 mA, which
is programmable by the user. If the AD5735 is used in uni-
polar supply mode, a short-circuit fault may be generated
if the output voltage is below 50 mV.
•An interface error is detected due to a PEC failure (see the
Packet Error Checking section).
•The core temperature of the AD5735 exceeds approxi-
mately 150°C.
The V

DIGITAL OFFSET AND GAIN CONTROL
Each DAC channel has a gain (M) register and an offset (C)
register, which allow trimming out of the gain and offset errors
of the entire signal chain. Data from the DAC data register is
operated on by a digital multiplier and adder controlled by the
contents of the gain and offset registers; the calibrated DAC
data is then stored in the DAC input register (see Figure 75).

Figure 75. Digital Offset and Gain Control
Although Figure 75 indicates a multiplier and adder for each
channel, the device has only one multiplier and one adder,
which are shared by all four channels. This design has implications for the update speed when several channels are updated
at once (see Ta b le 3 ).
When data is written to the gain (M) or offset (C) register, the
output is not automatically updated. Instead, the next write to
the DAC channel uses the new gain and offset values to perform
a new calibration and automatically updates the channel.
The output data from the calibration is routed to the DAC input
register. This data is then loaded to the DAC, as described in the
Serial Interface section. Both the gain register and the offset
register have 12 bits of resolution. The correct order to calibrate
the gain and offset is to first calibrate the gain and then calibrate
the offset.
The value (in decimal) that is written to the DAC input register
can be calculated as follows:

STATUS READBACK DURING A WRITE
The AD5735 can be configured to read back the contents of
the status register during every write sequence. This feature is
enabled using the STATREAD bit in the main control register.
When this feature is enabled, the user can continuously monitor
the status register and act quickly in the case of a fault.
When status readback during a write is enabled, the contents
of the 16-bit status register (see Tabl e 3 3 ) are output on the SDO
pin, as shown in Figure 5.
When the AD5735 is powered up, the status readback during a
write feature is disabled. When this feature is enabled, readback
of registers other than the status register is not available. To read
back any other register, clear the STATREAD bit before following
the readback sequence (see the Readback Operation section).
The STATREAD bit can be set high again after the register read.
Rev. A | Page 39 of 48
AD5735 Data Sheet
ASYNCHRONOUS CLEAR
CLEAR is an active high, edge sensitive input that allows the
output to be cleared to a preprogrammed 12-bit code. This code
is user-programmable via a per-channel 12-bit clear code register.
For a channel to be cleared, set the CLR_EN bit in the DAC
control register for that channel. If the clear function on a
channel is not enabled, the output remains in its current state,
independent of the level of the CLEAR pin.
When the CLEAR signal returns low, the relevant outputs remain
cleared until a new value is programmed to them.
PACKET ERROR CHECKING
To verify that data has been received correctly in noisy environments, the AD5735 offers the option of packet error checking
based on an 8-bit cyclic redundancy check (CRC-8). The device
controlling the AD5735 should generate an 8-bit frame check
sequence using the following polynomial:
C(x) = x
This value is added to the end of the data-word, and 32 bits are
sent to the AD5735 before
32-bit frame, it performs the error check when
If the error check is valid, the data is written to the selected register.
If the error check fails, the

ignored. If status readback during a write is disabled, the user
can still use the normal readback operation to monitor status
register activity with PEC.
WATCHDOG TIMER
When enabled, an on-chip watchdog timer generates an alert
signal if 0x195 is not written to the software register within the
programmed timeout period. This feature is useful to ensure
that communication has not been lost between the MCU and
the AD5735 and that the datapath lines are working properly
(that is, SDIN, SCLK, and
SYNC
). If 0x195 is not received by
the software register within the timeout period, the ALERT pin
signals a fault condition. The ALERT pin is active high and can
be connected directly to the CLEAR pin to enable a clear in the
event that communication from the MCU is lost.
To enable the watchdog timer and set the timeout period (5 ms,
10 ms, 100 ms, or 200 ms), program the main control register
(see Tabl e 21 and Ta bl e 22 ).
ALERT OUTPUT
The AD5735 is equipped with an ALERT pin. This pin is an
active high CMOS output. The AD5735 also has an internal
watchdog timer. When enabled, the watchdog timer monitors
SPI communications. If 0x195 is not received by the software
register within the timeout period, the ALERT pin is activated.
INTERNAL REFERENCE
The AD5735 contains an integrated 5 V voltage reference with
initial accuracy of ±5 mV maximum and a temperature coefficient
of ±10 ppm/°C maximum. The reference voltage is buffered and
is externally available for use elsewhere within the system.

DIGITAL SLEW RATE CONTROL
The digital slew rate control feature of the AD5735 allows the
user to control the rate at which the output value changes. This
feature is available on both the current and voltage outputs. With
the slew rate control feature disabled, the output value changes
at a rate limited by the output drive circuitry and the attached
load. To reduce the slew rate, the user can enable the digital slew
rate control feature using the SREN bit of the slew rate control
register (see Ta b le 2 9).
When slew rate control is enabled, the output, instead of slewing
directly between two values, steps digitally at a rate defined by
the SR_CLOCK and SR_STEP parameters. These parameters
are accessible via the slew rate control register (see Ta bl e 29 ).
•SR_CLOCK defines the rate at which the digital slew is
updated; for example, if the selected update rate is 8 kHz,
the output is updated every 125 µs.
•SR_STEP defines by how much the output value changes
at each update.
Together, these parameters define the rate of change of the
output value. Ta bl e 34 and Ta ble 35 list the range of values for
the SR_CLOCK and SR_STEP parameters, respectively.
The following equation describes the slew rate as a function of
the step size, the update clock frequency, and the LSB size.

or in
The update clock frequency for any given value is the same for
all output ranges. The step size, however, varies across output
ranges for a given value of step size because the LSB size is
different for each output range.
When the slew rate control feature is enabled, all output changes
occur at the programmed slew rate (see the DC-to-DC Converter
Settling Time section for more information). For example, if the
CLEAR pin is asserted, the output slews to the clear value at the
programmed slew rate (assuming that the channel is enabled to
be cleared).
If more than one channel is enabled for digital slew rate control,
care must be taken when asserting the CLEAR pin. If a channel
under slew rate control is slewing when the CLEAR pin is asserted,
other channels under slew rate control may change directly to
their clear code not under slew rate control.
DYNAMIC POWER CONTROL
When configured in current output mode, the AD5735 provides
integrated dynamic power control using a dc-to-dc boost converter
circuit. This circuit reduces power consumption compared with
standard designs.
In standard current input module designs, the load resistor
values can range from typically 50 Ω to 750 Ω. Output module
systems must source enough voltage to meet the compliance
voltage requirement across the full range of load resistor values.
For example, in a 4 mA to 20 mA loop when driving 20 mA, a
compliance voltage of >15 V is required. When driving 20 mA
into a 50 Ω load, a compliance voltage of only 1 V is required.
The AD5735 circuitry senses the output voltage and regulates
this voltage to meet the compliance requirements plus a small
headroom voltage. The AD5735 is capable of driving up to
24 mA through a 1 kΩ load.

DC-TO-DC CONVERTERS
The AD5735 contains four independent dc-to-dc converters.
These are used to provide dynamic control of the V
voltage for each channel (see Figure 71). Figure 77 shows the

DC-to-DC Converter Operation
The on-board dc-to-dc converters use a constant frequency, peak
current mode control scheme to step up an AV
CC
to 5.5 V to drive the AD5735 output channel. These converters
are designed to operate in discontinuous conduction mode with
a duty cycle of <90% typical. Discontinuous conduction mode
refers to a mode of operation where the inductor current goes
to zero for an appreciable percentage of the switching cycle. The
dc-to-dc converters are nonsynchronous; that is, they require an
external Schottky diode.

DC-to-DC Converter On-Board Switch
The AD5735 contains a 0.425 Ω internal switch. The switch
current is monitored on a pulse-by-pulse basis and is limited
to 0.8 A peak current.
DC-to-DC Converter Switching Frequency and Phase
The AD5735 dc-to-dc converter switching frequency can be
selected from the dc-to-dc control register (see Tab l e 2 8 ). The
phasing of the channels can also be adjusted so that the dc-to-dc
converters can clock on different edges. For typical applications,
a 410 kHz frequency is recommended. At light loads (low output
current and small load resistor), the dc-to-dc converter enters a
pulse-skipping mode to minimize switching power dissipation.
DC-to-DC Converter Inductor Selection
For typical 4 mA to 20 mA applications, a 10 µH inductor (such
as the XAL4040-103 from Coilcraft), combined with a switching
frequency of 410 kHz, allows up to 24 mA to be driven into a
load resistance of up to 1 kΩ with an AV
5.5 V. It is important to ensure that the inductor can handle the
peak current without saturating, especially at the maximum
ambient temperature. If the inductor enters saturation mode,
efficiency decreases. The inductance value also drops during
saturation and may result in the dc-to-dc converter circuit not
being able to supply the required output power.
The AD5735 requires an external Schottky diode for correct
operation. Ensure that the Schottky diode is rated to handle the
maximum reverse breakdown voltage expected in operation
and that the maximum junction temperature of the diode is not
exceeded. The average current of the diode is approximately
equal to the I
current. Diodes with larger forward voltage
LOAD
drops result in a decrease in efficiency.
DC-to-DC Converter Compensation Capacitors
Because the dc-to-dc converter operates in discontinuous conduction mode, the uncompensated transfer function is essentially a
single-pole transfer function. The pole frequency of the transfer
function is determined by the output capacitance, input and output
voltage, and output load of the dc-to-dc converter. The AD5735
uses an external capacitor in conjunction with an internal 150 kΩ
resistor to compensate the regulator loop.
Alternatively, an external compensation resistor can be used in
series with the compensation capacitor by setting the DC-DC
comp bit in the dc-to-dc control register (see Tab l e 2 8 ). In this
case, a resistor of ~50 kΩ is recommended. The advantages of this
configuration are described in the AI
Supply Requirements—
CC
Slewing section. For typical applications, a 10 nF dc-to-dc compensation capacitor is recommended.
DC-to-DC Converter Input and Output Capacitor
Selection
The output capacitor affects the ripple voltage of the dc-to-dc
converter and indirectly limits the maximum slew rate at which
the channel output current can rise. The ripple voltage is caused
by a combination of the capacitance and the equivalent series
resistance (ESR) of the capacitor. For typical applications, a
ceramic capacitor of 4.7 µF is recommended. Larger capacitors
or parallel capacitors improve the ripple at the expense of
reduced slew rate. Larger capacitors also affect the current
requirements of the AV
supply while slewing (see the AICC
CC
Supply Requirements—Slewing section). The capacitance at
the output of the dc-to-dc converter should be >3 µF under all
operating conditions.
The input capacitor provides much of the dynamic current
required for the dc-to-dc converter and should be a low ESR
component. For the AD5735, a low ESR tantalum or ceramic
capacitor of 10 µF is recommended for typical applications.
Ceramic capacitors must be chosen carefully because they can
exhibit a large sensitivity to dc bias voltages and temperature.
X5R or X7R dielectrics are preferred because these capacitors
remain stable over wider operating voltage and temperature
ranges. Care must be taken if selecting a tantalum capacitor to
ensure a low ESR value.

Reducing AICC Current Requirements
Two main methods can be used to reduce the AICC current
requirements. One method is to add an external compensation
resistor, and the other is to use slew rate control. These methods
can be used together.
Adding an External Compensation Resistor
A compensation resistor can be placed at the COMP
DCDC_x
pin
in series with the 10 nF compensation capacitor. A 51 kΩ external compensation resistor is recommended. This compensation
increases the slew time of the current output but reduces the AI
transient current requirements. Figure 80 shows a plot of AI

current for a 24 mA step through a 1 kΩ load when using a 51 kΩ

When using slew rate control, it is important to remember that
the output cannot slew faster than the dc-to-dc converter. The
dc-to-dc converter slews slowest at higher currents through large
loads (for example, 1 kΩ). The slew rate is also dependent on
the configuration of the dc-to-dc converter. Two examples of
the dc-to-dc converter output slew are shown in Figure 80 and
Figure 81. (V

dc-to-dc converter.)

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
VOLTAGE AND CURRENT OUTPUT PINS ON THE
SAME TERMINAL
When using a channel of the AD5735, the current and voltage
output pins can be connected to two separate terminals or tied
together and connected to a single terminal. The two output
pins can be tied together because only the voltage output or the
current output can be enabled at any one time. When the current
output is enabled, the voltage output is in tristate mode, and when
the voltage output is enabled, the current output is in tristate mode.
When the two output pins are tied together, the POC pin must
be tied low and the POC bit in the main control register set to 0,
or, if the POC pin is tied high, the POC bit in the main control
register must be set to 1 before the current output is enabled.
As shown in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section, the output
tolerances are the same for both the voltage and current output
pins. The +V
that current leakage into these pins is negligible when the part
is operated in current output mode.
CURRENT OUTPUT MODE WITH INTERNAL R
When using the internal R
the output is significantly affected by how many other channels

For every channel enabled with the internal R

internal R
proportionally as more current channels are enabled; the offset
error is 0.056% FSR on each of two channels, 0.029% FSR on
each of three channels, and 0.01% FSR on each of four channels.
Similarly, the dc crosstalk when using the internal R

internal R
and another channel going from zero to full scale, the dc crosstalk
is −0.011% FSR. With two other channels going from zero to full
scale, the dc crosstalk is −0.019% FSR, and with all three other
channels going from zero to full scale, it is −0.025% FSR.
For the full-scale error measurement in Tab l e 1 , all channels are
at 0xFFFF. This means that as any channel goes to zero scale, the
full-scale error increases due to the dc crosstalk. For example,

with the measured channel at 0xFFFF and three channels at zero

the full-scale error is 0.025% FSR + 0.075% FSR = 0.1% FSR.
PRECISION VOLTAGE REFERENCE SELECTION
To achieve the optimum performance from the AD5735 over its
full operating temperature range, a precision voltage reference
must be used. Care should be taken with the selection of the
precision voltage reference. The voltage applied to the reference
inputs is used to provide a buffered reference for the DAC cores.
Therefore, any error in the voltage reference is reflected in the
outputs of the AD5735.
Four possible sources of error must be considered when choosing
a voltage reference for high accuracy applications: initial accuracy,
long-term drift, temperature coefficient of the output voltage,
and output voltage noise.
Initial accuracy error on the output voltage of an external reference can lead to a full-scale error in the DAC. Therefore, to
minimize these errors, a reference with a low initial accuracy
error specification is preferred. Choosing a reference with an
output trim adjustment, such as the ADR435, allows a system
designer to trim out system errors by setting the reference
voltage to a voltage other than the nominal. The trim adjustment can be used at any temperature to trim out any error.
Long-term drift is a measure of how much the reference output
voltage drifts over time. A reference with a tight long-term drift
specification ensures that the overall solution remains relatively
stable over its entire lifetime.
The temperature coefficient of the reference output voltage affects
INL, DNL, and TUE. A reference with a tight temperature coefficient specification should be chosen to reduce the dependence
of the DAC output voltage on ambient temperature.
In high accuracy applications, which have a relatively low noise
budget, reference output voltage noise must be considered. Choosing a reference with as low an output noise voltage as practical
for the system resolution required is important. Precision voltage
references such as the ADR435 (XFET® design) produce low output
noise in the 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz bandwidth. However, as the circuit
bandwidth increases, filtering the output of the reference may
be required to minimize the output noise.

ensures stability of a load of 50 mH. The capacitive component
of the load may cause slower settling, although this may be
masked by the settling time of the AD5735. There is no maximum capacitance limit for the current output of the AD5735.
TRANSIENT VOLTAGE PROTECTION
The AD5735 contains ESD protection diodes that prevent damage from normal handling. The industrial control environment
can, however, subject I/O circuits to much higher transients. To
protect the AD5735 from excessively high voltage transients,
external power diodes and a surge current limiting resistor (R
are required, as shown in Figure 83. A typical value for R

Further protection can be provided using transient voltage
suppressors (TVSs), also referred to as transorbs. These components are available as unidirectional suppressors, which protect
against positive high voltage transients, and as bidirectional
suppressors, which protect against both positive and negative
high voltage transients. Transient voltage suppressors are available in a wide range of standoff and breakdown voltage ratings.
The TVS should be sized with the lowest breakdown voltage
possible while not conducting in the functional range of the
current output.
It is recommended that all field connected nodes be protected.
The voltage output node can be protected with a similar circuit,

MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING
Microprocessor interfacing to the AD5735 is via a serial bus
that uses a protocol compatible with microcontrollers and DSP
processors. The communication channel is a 3-wire minimum
interface consisting of a clock signal, a data signal, and a latch
signal. The AD5735 requires a 24-bit data-word with data valid
on the falling edge of SCLK.
The DAC output update is initiated either on the rising edge of
LDAC
or, if
LDAC
is held low, on the rising edge of
SYNC
. The
contents of the registers can be read using the readback function.
AD5735-to-ADSP-BF527 Interface
The AD5735 can be connected directly to the SPORT interface
of the ADSP-BF527, an Analog Devices, Inc., Blackfin® DSP.
Figure 84 shows how the SPORT interface can be connected
to control the AD5735.

LAYOUT GUIDELINES
Grounding
In any circuit where accuracy is important, careful consideration of the power supply and ground return layout helps to
ensure the rated performance. The printed circuit board on
which the AD5735 is mounted should be designed so that the
analog and digital sections are separated and confined to
certain areas of the board. If the AD5735 is in a system where
multiple devices require an AGND-to-DGND connection, the
connection should be made at one point only. The star ground
point should be established as close as possible to the device.
The GNDSW
supply are referred to as PGND. PGND should be confined to
certain areas of the board, and the PGND-to-AGND connection
should be made at one point only.
Supply Decoupling
The AD5735 should have ample supply bypassing of 10 µF in
parallel with 0.1 µF on each supply, located as close to the package
as possible, ideally right up against the device. The 10 µF capacitors are the tantalum bead type. The 0.1 µF capacitors should
have low effective series resistance (ESR) and low effective series
inductance (ESL), such as the common ceramic types, which
provide a low impedance path to ground at high frequencies to
handle transient currents due to internal logic switching.

Traces
The power supply lines of the AD5735 should use as large a trace
as possible to provide low impedance paths and reduce the effects
of glitches on the power supply line. Fast switching signals su
ch
as clocks should be shielded with digital ground to prevent radiating noise to other parts of the board and should never be run
near the reference inputs. A ground line routed between the
SDIN and SCLK traces helps reduce crosstalk between them (not
required on a multilayer board that has a separate ground plan
but separating the lines helps). It is essential to minimize noise on
the REFIN line because it couples through to the DAC output.
Avoid crossover of digital and analog signals. Traces on opposite sides of the board should run at right angles to each other
to reduce the effects of feedthrough on the board. A microstrip

GALVANICALLY ISOLATED INTERFACE
In many process control applications, it is necessary to provide
an isolation barrier between the controller and the unit being
controlled to protect and isolate the controlling circuitry from
any hazardous common-mode voltages that may occur. The
Analog Devices iCoupler® products can provide voltage isolation
in excess of 2.5 kV. The serial loading structure of the AD5735
makes it ideal for isolated interfaces because the number of interface lines is kept to a minimum. Figure 85 shows a 4-channel
isolated interface to the AD5735 using an ADuM1411. For
