GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AD5755 is a quad, voltage and current output DAC that operates with a power supply range from −26.4 V to +33 V.
AD5755
On-chip dynamic power control minimizes package power dissipation in current mode. This is achieved by regulating the voltage on the output driver from 7.4 V to 29.5 V using a dc-to­dc boost converter optimized for minimum on chip power dissipation.
The part 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 interface also features optional CRC-8 packet error checking, as well as a watchdog timer that monitors activity on the interface.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS

1. Dynamic power control for thermal management.
2. 16-bit performance.
3. Multichannel.

TERMINOLOGY

Relative Accuracy or Integral Nonlinearity (INL)
For the DAC, relative accuracy, or integral nonlinearity, is a measure of the maximum deviation, in LSBs, from the best fit line through the DAC transfer function. A typical INL vs. code plot is shown in Figure 8.
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 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 9.
Monotonicity
A DAC is monotonic if the output either increases or remains constant for increasing digital input code. The AD5755 is monotonic over its full operating temperature range.
Negative Full-Scale Error/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 TC
This is a measure of the change in zero-scale error with a change in temperature. Zero-scale error 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 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

The maximum voltage at the I current is equal to the 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.

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 voltage­output digital-to-analog converter 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 is the impulse injected into the analog output when the AD5755 is powered on. It is specified as the area of the glitch in nV-sec. See Figure 28 and Figure 46.
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, 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.

THEORY OF OPERATION

The AD5755 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, 0 mA to 24 mA, and 4 mA to 20 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 is active at any one time. The desired output configuration is user selectable via the DAC control register.
On-chip dynamic power control minimizes package power dissipation in current mode.

DAC ARCHITECTURE

The DAC core architecture of the AD5755 consists of two matched DAC sections. A simplified circuit diagram is shown in Figure 70. The four MSBs of the 16-bit data-word are decoded to drive 15 switches, E1 to E15. Each of these switches connects one of 15 matched resistors to either ground or the reference buffer output. The remaining 12 bits of the data-word drive Switch S0 to Switch S11 of a 12-bit voltage mode R-2R ladder network.

The voltage output from the DAC core is either converted to a current (see Figure 72), which is then mirrored to the supply rail so that the application simply sees a current source output, or it is buffered and scaled to output a software selectable unipolar or bipolar voltage range (see Figure 71). Both the voltage and current outputs are supplied by V voltage are output on separate pins and cannot be output simultaneously. A channel’s current and voltage output pins can be tied together.

Voltage Output Amplifier

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 16 µs (10 V step). If remote sensing of the load is not required, connect +V directly to V +V

and connect −V

stay within ±3.0 V of AGND for correct operation.

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. Care should be taken to choose an appropriate value of compensation capacitor. This capacitor, while allowing the AD5755 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, up to 10 nF capacitive loads can be driven. See Tabl e 5 for information on connecting compensation capacitors.

Reference Buffers

The AD5755 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.

POWER-ON STATE OF AD5755

On initial power-up of the AD5755, the power-on reset circuit powers up in a state that is dependent on the power-on condition (POC) pin.
If POC = 0, 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 to tristate.

AD5755 Data Sheet
Even though the output ranges are not enabled, the default output range is 0 V to 5 V, and the clear code register is loaded with all zeros. This means that 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.

SERIAL INTERFACE

The AD5755 is controlled over 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 a serial clock input, SCLK. Data is clocked in on the falling edge of SCLK.
If packet error checking, or PEC (see the Device Features section), is enabled, an additional eight bits must be written to the AD5755, creating a 32-bit serial interface.
There are two ways in which the DAC outputs can be updated: individual updating or simultaneous updating of all DACs.

Individual DAC Updating

In this mode, the DAC data register. The addressed DAC output is updated on the rising edge of information.

Simultaneous Updating of All DACs

AD5755 Data Sheet

PROGRAMMING SEQUENCE TO WRITE/ENABLE THE OUTPUT CORRECTLY

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. The dc-to-dc converter supply block must be configured.
Set the dc-to-dc switching frequency, maximum output voltage allowed, and the phase that the four dc-to-dc channels clock at.
3. Configure the DAC control register on a per channel basis.
The output range is selected, and the dc-to-dc converter block is enabled (DC_DC bit). Other control bits can be configured at this point. Set the INT_ENABLE bit; however, the output enable bit (OUTEN) should not be set.
4. Write the required code to the DAC data register. This
implements a full DAC calibration internally. Allow at least 200 µs before Step 5 for reduced output glitch.
5. Write to the DAC control register again to enable the
output (set the OUTEN bit).
A flowchart of this sequence is shown in Figure 74.

CHANGING AND REPROGRAMMING THE RANGE

When changing between ranges, the same sequence as described in the Programming Sequence to Write/Enable the Output Correctly section should be used. It is recommended to set the range to its zero point (can be midscale or zero scale) prior to disabling the output. Because the dc-to-dc switching frequency, maximum voltage, and phase have already been selected, there is no need to reprogram these. A flowchart of this sequence is shown in Figure 75.

Gain Register

The 16-bit gain register, as shown in Tab le 1 1, allows the user to adjust the gain of each channel in steps of 1 LSB. This is done by setting the DREG[2:0] bits to 010. It is possible to write the same gain code to all four DAC channels at the same time by setting the DREG[2:0] bits to 011. The gain register coding is straight binary as shown in Tab l e 1 2 . The default code in the gain register is 0xFFFF. In theory, the gain can be tuned across the full range of the output. In practice, the maximum recommended gain trim is about 50% of programmed range to maintain accuracy. See the Digital Offset and Gain Control section in the Device Features section for more information.

Offset Register

The 16-bit offset register, as shown in Ta b le 13 , allows the user to adjust the offset of each channel by −32,768 LSBs to +32,767 LSBs

in steps of 1 LSB. This is done by setting the DREG[2:0] bits to
100. It is possible to write the same offset code to all four DAC channels at the same time by setting the DREG[2:0] bits to 101. The offset register coding is straight binary as shown in Ta b le 1 4. The default code in the offset register is 0x8000, which results in zero offset programmed to the output. See the Digital Offset and Gain Control section in the Device Features section for more information.

Clear Code Register

The 16-bit clear code register allows the user to set the clear value of each channel as shown in Tab l e 1 5 . It is possible, via software, to enable or disable on a per channel basis which channels are cleared when the CLEAR pin is activated. The default clear code is 0x0000. See the Asynchronous Clear section in the Device Features section for more information.

CONTROL REGISTERS

When writing to a control register, the format shown in Tab l e 1 6 must be used. See Tab l e 9 for information on the configuration of Bit D23 to Bit D16. The control registers are addressed by setting the DREG[2:0] bits to 111 and then setting the CREG[2:0] bits to the appropriate decode address for that register, according to Tabl e 17 . These CREG bits select among the various control registers.

Software Register

The software register has three functions. It allows the user to perform a software reset to the part. It can be used to set the user toggle bit, D11, in the status register. It is also used as part of the watchdog feature when it is enabled. This feature is useful to ensure that communication has not been lost between the MCU and the AD5755 and that the datapath lines are working properly (that is, SDI, 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. Likewise, when D12 is set to 0, Bit D11 of the status register is also set to zero. This feature can be used to ensure that the SPI pins are working correctly by writing a known bit value to this register and reading back the corresponding bit from the status register.
Option Description
If the watchdog timer feature is enabled, 0x195 must be written to the software register (D11 to D0) within the programmed timeout period.
When the watchdog feature is enabled, the user must write 0x195 to 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 is only required when the watchdog timer function is enabled.

DC-to-DC Control Register

The dc-to-dc control register allows the user control over 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 b le 2 4 and Tab l e 2 5 .

Slew Rate Control Register

This register is used to program the slew rate control for the selected DAC channel. This feature is available on both the current and voltage outputs. The slew rate control is enabled/ disabled and programmed on a per channel basis. See Ta b l e 2 6 and the Device Features section for more information.

OUTPUT FAULT

The AD5755 is equipped with a drain output allowing several AD5755 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
scenarios:
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
FAU LT
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 the compliance limit is reached.
A short 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 using the AD5755 in unipolar 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.

DIGITAL OFFSET AND GAIN CONTROL

Each DAC channel has a gain (M) and 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 M and C registers. The calibrated DAC data is then stored in the DAC input register.
INPUT
REGISTER
M
REGISTER
C
REGISTER
Figure 76. Digital Offset and Gain control
Although Figure 76 indicates a multiplier and adder for each channel, there is only one multiplier and one adder in the device, and they are shared among all four channels. This has implications for the update speed when several channels are updated at once (see Tabl e 3).
Each time data is written to the M or C register, the output is not automatically updated. Instead, the next write to the DAC channel uses these M and C 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 is then loaded to the DAC as described in the Theory of Operation section. Both the gain register and the offset register have 16 bits of resolution. The correct method to calibrate the gain/offset is to first calibrate out the gain and then calibrate the offset.

STATUS READBACK DURING A WRITE

The AD5755 has the ability to read back the status register contents during every write sequence. This feature is enabled via the STATREAD bit in the main control register. This allows the user to 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 Tab l e 3 0 ) are output on the SDO pin, as shown in Figure 5.
The AD5755 powers up with this feature disabled. When this is enabled, the normal readback feature is not available, except for the status register. To read back any other register, clear the STATREAD bit first before following the readback sequence. STATREAD can be set high again after the register read.

Data Sheet AD5755

ASYNCHRONOUS CLEAR

CLEAR is an active high, edge-sensitive input that allows the output to be cleared to a preprogrammed 16-bit code. This code is user programmable via a per channel 16-bit clear code register.
For a channel to clear, that channel must be enabled to be cleared via the CLR_EN bit (see Tabl e 21) in the channel’s DAC control register. If the channel is not enabled to be cleared, then the output remains in its current state independent of the CLEAR pin level.
When the CLEAR signal is returned low, the relevant outputs remain cleared until a new value is programmed.

PACKET ERROR CHECKING

To verify that data has been received correctly in noisy environ­ments, the AD5755 offers the option of packet error checking based on an 8-bit (CRC-8) cyclic redundancy check. The device controlling the AD5755 should generate an 8-bit frame check sequence using the polynomial
C(x) = x
This is added to the end of the data-word, and 32 bits are sent to the AD5755 before taking 32-bit frame, it performs the error check when If the check is valid, the data is written to the selected register. If the error check fails, the error bit in the status register is set. After reading the status register, faults), and the PEC error bit is cleared automatically.

WATCHDOG TIMER

When enabled, an on-chip watchdog timer generates an alert signal if 0x195 has not been 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 AD5755 and that these datapath lines are working properly (that is, SDI, 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 signal 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.
The watchdog timer is enabled, and the timeout period (5 ms, 10 ms, 100 ms, or 200 ms) is set in the main control register (see Tabl e 1 8 and Tabl e 19).

OUTPUT ALERT

The AD5755 is equipped with an ALERT pin. This is an active high CMOS output. The AD5755 also has an internal watchdog timer. When enabled, it monitors SPI communications. If 0x195 is not received by the software register within the timeout period, the ALERT pin goes active.

INTERNAL REFERENCE

The AD5755 contains an integrated 5 V voltage reference with initial accuracy of ±5 mV maximum and a temperature drift coefficient of ±10 ppm maximum. The reference voltage is buffered and externally available for use elsewhere within the system.

EXTERNAL CURRENT SETTING RESISTOR

Referring to Figure 72, R of the voltage-to-current conversion circuitry. The stability of the output current value over temperature is dependent on the stability of the value of R stability of the output current over temperature, an external 15 kΩ low drift resistor can be connected to the R AD5755 to be used instead of the internal resistor, R1. The external resistor is selected via the DAC control register (see Tabl e 2 0 ).
Tabl e 1 outlines the performance specifications of the AD5755 with both the internal R resistor. Using an external R performance over the internal R R
resistor specification assumes an ideal resistor; the actual
SET
performance depends on the absolute value and temperature
07304-280
coefficient of the resistor used. This directly affects the gain error of the output, and thus the total unadjusted error. To arrive at the gain/TUE error of the output with a particular external R resistor, add the percentage absolute error of the R directly to the gain/TUE error of the AD5755 with the external

DIGITAL SLEW RATE CONTROL

The slew rate control feature of the AD5755 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, this can be achieved by enabling the slew rate control feature. With the feature enabled via the SREN bit of the slew rate control register (see Tab l e 2 6 ), the output, instead of slewing directly between two values, steps digitally at a rate defined by two parameters accessible via the slew rate control register, as shown in Tab l e 2 6 . The parameters are SR_CLOCK and SR_STEP. SR_CLOCK defines the rate at which the digital slew is updated, for example, if the selected update rate is 8 kHz, the output updates every 125 µs. In conjunc­tion with this, SR_STEP defines by how much the output value changes at each update. Together, both parameters define the rate of change of the output value. Ta bl e 31 and Tabl e 32 outline the range of values for both the SR_CLOCK and SR_STEP parameters.

.
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 additional information). For example, if the CLEAR pin is asserted, the output slews to the clear value at the programmed slew rate (assuming that the clear channel is enabled to be cleared). If a number of channels are enabled for slew, care must be taken when asserting the clear pin. If one of the channels is slewing when clear is asserted, other channels may change directly to their clear values not under slew rate control. 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.

POWER DISSIPATION CONTROL

The AD5755 contains integrated dynamic power control using a dc-to-dc boost converter circuit, allowing reductions in power consumption from standard designs when using the part in current output mode.
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, only 1 V compliance is required.
The AD5755 circuitry senses the output voltage and regulates this voltage to meet compliance requirements plus a small headroom voltage. The AD5755 is capable of driving up to 24 mA through a 1 kΩ load.

DC-TO-DC CONVERTERS

The AD5755 contains four independent dc-to-dc converters. These are used to provide dynamic control of the V voltage for each channel (see Figure 72). Figure 78 shows the discreet components needed for the dc-to-dc circuitry, and the following sections describe component selection and operation of this circuitry.

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
input of
CC
4.5 V to 5.5 V to drive the AD5755 output channel. These are designed to operate in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) 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 AD5755 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 AD5755 dc-to-dc converter switching frequency can be selected from the dc-to-dc control register. The phasing of the channels can also be adjusted so that the dc-to-dc converter can clock on different edges (see Tabl e 2 5 ). 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
supply of 4.5 V to
CC
5.5 V. It is important to ensure that the inductor is able to handle the peak current without saturating, especially at the maximum ambient temperature. If the inductor enters into saturation mode, it results in a decrease in efficiency. 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.

DC-to-DC Converter External Schottky Selection

The AD5755 requires an external Schottky for correct opera­tion. Ensure that the Schottky is rated to handle the maximum reverse breakdown expected in operation and that the rectifier maximum junction temperature is not exceeded. The diode average current is approximately equal to the I
LOAD
current. Diodes with larger forward voltage drops result in a decrease in efficiency.

DC-to-DC Converter Compensation Capacitors

As the dc-to-dc converter operates in DCM, the uncompensated transfer function is essentially a single-pole transfer function. The pole frequency of the transfer function is determined by the dc-to-dc converter’s output capacitance, input and output voltage, and output load. The AD5755 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. In this case, a ~50 kΩ resistor is recommended. A description of the advantages of this can be found in the AICC Supply Requirements—Slewing section in the Device Features 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 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 equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the capacitor. For the AD5755, a ceramic capacitor of 4.7 µF is recommended for typical applications. Larger capacitors or paralleled capacitors improve the ripple at the expense of reduced slew rate. Larger capacitors also impact the AV
supplies current requirements while slewing (see the
CC
AICC Supply Requirements—Slewing section). This 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 AD5755, 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.

AICC SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS—SLEWING

The AICC current requirement while slewing is greater than in static operation because the output power increases to charge the output capacitance of the dc-to-dc converter. This transient current can be quite large (see Figure 80), although the methods outlined in the Reducing AICC Current Requirements section can reduce the requirements on the AV AI

Reducing AICC Current Requirements

There are two main methods that can be used to reduce the AI compensation resistor, and the other is to use slew rate control. Both of these methods can be used in conjunction.
A compensation resistor can be placed at the COMP 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 eases the AI transient current requirements. Figure 81 shows a plot of AI current for a 24 mA step through a 1 kΩ load when using a 51 kΩ compensation resistor. This method eases the current requirements through smaller loads even further, as shown in Figure 82.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

VOLTAGE AND CURRENT OUTPUT RANGES ON THE SAME TERMINAL

When using a channel of the AD5755, the current and voltage output pins can be connected to two separate terminals or tied together and connected to a single terminal. There is no conflict with tying the two output pins 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. For this operation, 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 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 using the internal R these channels. The internal R for all channels enabled with the internal R outputting the same code.
For every channel enabled with the internal R decreases. For example, with one current output enabled using the internal R decreases proportionally as more current channels are enabled; the offset error is 0.056% FSR on each of two channels, 0.029% on each of three channels, and 0.01% on each of four channels.
Similarly, the dc crosstalk when using the internal R tional to the number of current output channels enabled with the internal R 0x8000 and one channel going from zero to full scale, the dc crosstalk is −0.011% FSR. With two channels going from zero to full scale, it 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

PRECISION VOLTAGE REFERENCE SELECTION

To achieve the optimum performance from the AD5755 over its full operating temperature range, a precision voltage reference must be used. Thought should be given to the selection of a 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 device.
There are four possible sources of error to consider when choosing a voltage reference for high accuracy applications: initial accuracy, temperature coefficient of the output voltage, long term drift, 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 low initial accuracy error specification is preferred. Choosing a reference with an output trim adjustment, such as the ADR425, allows a system designer to trim system errors out 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 a reference’s 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 to 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 low output noise in the 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz region. However, as the circuit bandwidth increases, filtering the output of the reference may be required to minimize the output noise.

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 AD5755. There is no maximum capacitance limit for the current output of the AD5755.

TRANSIENT VOLTAGE PROTECTION

The AD5755 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 AD5755 from excessively high voltage transients, external power diodes and a surge current limiting resistor (R are required, as shown in Figure 84.

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, where D2 and the transorb are connected to AV age output node, the +V

MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING

Microprocessor interfacing to the AD5755 is via a serial bus that uses a protocol compatible with microcontrollers and DSP processors. The communications channel is a 3-wire minimum interface consisting of a clock signal, a data signal, and a latch signal. The AD5755 requires a 24-bit data-word with data valid on the falling edge of SCLK.

LAYOUT GUIDELINES

Layout—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 AD5755 is mounted should be designed so that the analog and digital sections are separated and confined to certain areas of the board. If the AD5755 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 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.

Layout—Supply Decoupling

The AD5755 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 capacitor 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.

Layout—Traces

The power supply lines of the AD5755 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 such 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 lines helps reduce crosstalk between them (not required on a multilayer board that has a

separate ground plane, 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. This reduces the effects of feedthrough on the board. A microstrip technique is by far the best but not always possible with a double-sided board. In this technique, the component side of the board is dedicated to ground plane, whereas signal traces are placed on the solder side.

Layout—DC-to-DC Converters

To achieve high efficiency, good regulation, and stability, a well­designed printed circuit board layout is required.
Follow these guidelines when designing printed circuit boards (see Figure 78):

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 AD5755 makes it ideal for isolated interfaces because the number of interface lines is kept to a minimum. Figure 86 shows a 4­channel isolated interface to the AD5755 using an ADuM1400. For more information, visit www.analog.com.
