AD5764R
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5764R is a quad, 16-bit, serial input, bipolar voltage output
DAC that operates from supply voltages of ±11.4 V to ±16.5 V.
Nominal full-scale output range is ±10 V. The AD5764R provides
integrated output amplifiers, reference buffers, and proprietary
power-up/power-down control circuitry. The part also features
a digital I/O port, programmed via the serial interface, and an
analog temperature sensor. The part incorporates digital offset
and gain adjust registers per channel.
The AD5764R is a high performance converter that provides
guaranteed monotonicity, integral nonlinearity (INL) of ±1 LSB,
low noise, and 10 μs settling time. The AD5764R includes an
on-chip 5 V reference with a reference temperature coefficient
of 10 ppm/°C maximum. During power-up when the supply
voltages are changing, VOUTx is clamped to 0 V via a low
impedance path.
The AD5764R is based on the iCMOS® technology platform,
which is designed for analog systems designers within industrial/
instrumentation equipment OEMs who need high performance
ICs at higher voltage levels. iCMOS enables the development of
analog ICs capable of 30 V and operation at ±15 V supplies, while
allowing reductions in power consumption and package size,
coupled with increased ac and dc performance.
The AD5764R uses a serial interface that operates at clock rates
of up to 30 MHz and is compatible with DSP and microcontroller
interface standards. Double buffering allows the simultaneous
updating of all DACs. The input coding is programmable to either
twos complement or offset binary formats. The asynchronous clear
function clears all data registers to either bipolar zero or zero scale,
depending on the coding used. The AD5764R is ideal for both
closed-loop servo control and open-loop control applications.
The AD5764R is available in a 32-lead TQFP and offers
guaranteed specifications over the −40°C to +85°C industrial
temperature range (see Figure 1 for the functional block
diagram).

TERMINOLOGY
Relative Accuracy or Integral Nonlinearity (INL)
For the DAC, a measure of the maximum deviation, in LSBs,
from a straight line passing through the endpoints of the DAC
transfer function.
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)
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.
Monotonicity
A DAC is monotonic if the output either increases or remains
constant for increasing digital input code. The AD5744R is
monotonic over its full operating temperature range.
Bipolar Zero Error
The deviation of the analog output from the ideal half-scale
output of 0 V when the DAC register is loaded with 0x8000
(offset binary coding) or 0x0000 (twos complement coding).
Figure 22 shows a plot of bipolar zero error vs. temperature.
Bipolar Zero Temperature Coefficient
The measure of the change in the bipolar zero error with a
change in temperature. It is expressed as parts per million of
full-scale range per degree Celsius (ppm FSR/°C).
Full-Scale Error
The measure of the output error when full-scale code is loaded
to the data register. Ideally, the output voltage should be 2 ×
V
− 1 LSB. Full-scale error is expressed as a percentage of
REFIN
full-scale range (% FSR).
Negative Full-Scale Error/Zero-Scale Error
The error in the DAC output voltage when 0x0000 (offset binary
coding) or 0x8000 (twos complement coding) is loaded to the
data register. Ideally, the output voltage should be −2 × V
Figure 21 shows a plot of zero-scale error vs. temperature.
Output Voltage Settling Time
The amount of time it takes for the output to settle to a specified
level for a full-scale input change.
Slew Rate
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
volts per microsecond (V/µs).
Gain Error
A measure of the span error of the DAC. It is the deviation in
slope of the DAC transfer characteristic from the ideal, expressed
as a percentage of the full-scale range (% FSR). Figure 23 shows
a plot of gain error vs. temperature.
REFIN
.
Total Unadjusted Error (TUE)
A measure of the output error, considering all the various
errors. Figure 19 shows a plot of total unadjusted error vs.
reference voltage.
Zero-Scale Error Temperature Coefficient
A measure of the change in zero-scale error with a change in
temperature. It is expressed as parts per million of full-scale
range per degree Celsius (ppm FSR/°C).
Gain Error Temperature Coefficient
A measure of the change in gain error with changes in temperature. It is expressed as parts per million of full-scale range per
degree Celsius (ppm FSR/°C).
Digital-to-Analog Glitch Energy
The impulse injected into the analog output when the input
code in the data register changes state. It is normally specified
as the area of the glitch in nanovolt-seconds (nV-sec) and is
measured when the digital input code is changed by 1 LSB at the
major carry transition (0x7FFF to 0x8000), as seen in Figure 28.
Digital Feedthrough
A measure of the impulse injected into the analog output of the
DAC from the digital inputs of the DAC, but measured when
the DAC output is not updated. It is specified in nanovolt-seconds
(nV-sec) and measured with a full-scale code change on the
data bus, that is, from all 0s to all 1s, and vice versa.
Power Supply Sensitivity
Indicates how the output of the DAC is affected by changes in
the power supply voltage.
DC Crosstalk
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 fullscale output change on one DAC while monitoring another
DAC, and is expressed in least significant bits (LSBs).
DAC-to-DAC Crosstalk
The glitch impulse transferred to the output of one DAC due to
a digital code change and subsequent output change of another
DAC. This includes both digital and analog crosstalk. It is
measured by loading one of the DACs with a full-scale code
change (from all 0s to all 1s, and vice versa) with
monitoring the output of another DAC. The energy of the glitch
is expressed in nanovolt-seconds (nV-sec).
Channel-to-Channel Isolation
The ratio of the amplitude of the signal at the output of one DAC
to a sine wave on the reference input of another DAC. It is
measured in decibels (dB).
Reference Temperature Coefficient
A measure of the change in the reference output voltage with
a change in temperature. It is expressed in parts per million per
degree Celsius (ppm/°C).

Digital Crosstalk
A measure of the impulse injected into the analog output of one
DAC from the digital inputs of another DAC but is measured
when the DAC output is not updated. It is specified in nanovoltseconds (nV-sec) and measured with a full-scale code change
on the data bus; that is, from all 0s to all 1s, and vice versa.
Thermal Hysteresis
The change of reference output voltage after the device is cycled
through temperatures from −40°C to +85°C and back to −40°C.
This is a typical value from a sample of parts put through such
a cycle.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD5764R is a quad, 16-bit, serial input, bipolar voltage output
DAC that operates from supply voltages of ±11.4 V to ±16.5 V and
has a buffered output voltage of up to ±10.5263 V. Data is written to
the AD5764R in a 24-bit word format via a 3-wire serial interface.
The AD5764R also offers an SDO pin that is available for daisy
chaining or readback.
The AD5764R incorporates a power-on reset circuit that ensures
that the data registers are loaded with 0x0000 at power-up. The
AD5764R features a digital I/O port that can be programmed via
the serial interface, an analog die temperature sensor, on-chip
10 ppm/°C voltage reference, on-chip reference buffers, and per
channel digital gain and offset registers.
DAC ARCHITECTURE
The DAC architecture of the AD5764R consists of a 16-bit,
current mode, segmented R-2R DAC. The simplified circuit
diagram for the DAC section is shown in Figure 39.
Figure 39. DAC Ladder Structure
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 the 15 matched resistors to either AGNDx or I
OUT
. The
remaining 12 bits of the data-word drive Switch S0 to Switch S11
of the 12-bit R-2R ladder network.
REFERENCE BUFFERS
The AD5764R can operate with either an external or an internal
reference. The reference inputs (REFAB and REFCD) have an
input range of up to 7 V. This input voltage is then used to provide
a buffered positive and negative reference for the DAC cores.
The positive reference is given by
+V
= 2 × V
REF
The negative reference to the DAC cores is given by
−V
= −2 × V
REF
These positive and negative reference voltages (along with the
gain register values) define the output ranges of the DACs.
REFIN
REFIN
SERIAL INTERFACE
The AD5764R 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.
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. The input register consists of a read/write bit,
a reserved bit that must be set to 0, three register select bits, three
DAC address bits, and 16 data bits, as shown in Tab l e 9. The
timing diagram for this operation is shown in Figure 2.
Upon power-up, the data registers are loaded with zero code
(0x0000) and the outputs are clamped to 0 V via a low impedance
path. The outputs can be updated with the zero code value by
asserting either

Figure 40. Daisy-Chaining the AD5764R
Daisy-Chain Operation
For systems that contain several devices, the SDO pin can be
used to daisy-chain several devices together. This daisy-chain
mode can be useful in system diagnostics and in reducing the
number of serial interface lines. The first falling edge of
starts the write cycle. The SCLK is continuously applied to the
input shift register when
SYNC
is low. If more than 24 clock
pulses are applied, the data ripples out of the input shift register
and appears on the SDO line. This data is clocked out on the
rising edge of SCLK and is valid on the falling edge. By
connecting the SDO of the first device to the SDIN input of the
next device in the chain, a multidevice interface is constructed.
Each device in the system requires 24 clock pulses. Therefore,
the total number of clock cycles must equal 24n, where n is the
total number of AD5764R devices in the chain. When the serial
transfer to all devices is complete,
latches the input data in each device in the daisy chain and
prevents any further data from being clocked into the input shift
register. The serial clock can be a continuous or a gated clock.
SYNC
is taken high. This
SYNC
A continuous SCLK source can be used only if
low for the correct number of clock cycles. In gated clock mode,
a burst clock containing the exact number of clock cycles must
be used, and
SYNC
must be taken high after the final clock to
latch the data.
Readback Operation
Before a readback operation is initiated, the SDO pin must be
enabled by writing to the function register and clearing the SDO
disable bit; this bit is cleared by default. Readback mode is invoked
by setting the R/
W
R/
set to 1, Bit A2 to Bit A0, in association with Bit REG2 to
W
bit to 1 in the serial input register write. With
Bit REG0, select the register to be read. The remaining data bits in
the write sequence are don’t care. During the next SPI write, the
data appearing on the SDO output contains the data from the
previously addressed register. For a read of a single register, the
NOP command can be used in clocking out the data from the
selected register on SDO. The readback diagram in
shows the readback sequence. For example, to read back the
fine gain register of Channel A, implement the following
sequence:
1. Write 0xA0XXXX to the input shift register. This write
configures the AD5764R for read mode with the fine gain
register of Channel A selected. Note that all the data bits,
DB15 to DB0, are don’t care.
2. Follow with a second write: an NOP condition, 0x00XXXX.
During this write, the data from the fine gain register is clocked
out on the SDO line; that is, data clocked out contains the
data from the fine gain register in Bit DB5 to Bit DB0.
SIMULTANEOUS UPDATING VIA LDAC
Depending on the status of both

there are two ways to update the data registers and DAC outputs.

In individual DAC updating mode,

output is updated on the rising edge of

Simultaneous Updating of All DACs

outputs are updated by taking

DATA REGISTER
The data register is addressed by setting the three REG bits to 010. The DAC address bits select the DAC channel with which the data
transfer takes place (see Ta b le 10). The data bits are positioned in DB15 to DB0, as shown in Tabl e 13.

The coarse gain register is addressed by setting the three REG bits to 011. The DAC address bits select the DAC channel with which the

DAC, as shown in Ta bl e 15.

FINE GAIN REGISTER
The fine gain register is addressed by setting the three REG bits to 100. The DAC address bits select the DAC channel with which the data
transfer takes place (see Ta b le 10). The AD5764R fine gain register is a 6-bit register that allows the user to adjust the gain of each DAC
channel by −32 LSBs to +31 LSBs in 1 LSB steps, as shown in Table 16 and Tabl e 17. The adjustment is made to both the positive full-scale
points and the negative full-scale points simultaneously, with each point adjusted by one-half of one step. The fine gain register coding is
twos complement.
The offset register is addressed by setting the three REG bits to 101. The DAC address bits select the DAC channel with which the data
transfer takes place (see Ta b le 10). The AD5764R offset register is an 8-bit register that allows the user to adjust the offset of each channel
by −16 LSBs to +15.875 LSBs in steps of one-eighth LSB, as shown in Table 18 and Tab l e 19. The offset register coding is twos complement.
Using the information provided in the Offset Register section,
the following worked examples demonstrate how the AD5764R
functions can be used to eliminate both offset and gain errors.
Because the AD5764R is factory calibrated, offset and gain errors
should be negligible. However, errors can be introduced by the
system within which the AD5764R is operating. For example,
a voltage reference value that is not equal to 5 V introduces
a gain error. An output range of ±10 V and twos complement
data coding are assumed.
Removing Offset Error
The AD5764R can eliminate an offset error in the range of
−4.88 mV to +4.84 mV with a step size of one-eighth of a
16-bit LSB.
1. Calculate the step size of the offset adjustment, using the
following equation:
The required offset register value can be calculated as follows:
1. Convert the adjustment value to binary: 00010000.
2. Convert this binary value to a negative twos complement
number by inverting all bits and adding 1: 11110000.
3. Program this value, 11110000, to the offset register.
Note that this twos complement conversion is not necessary in
the case of a positive offset adjustment. The value to be programmed to the offset register is simply the binary representation
of the adjustment value.
Removing Gain Error
The AD5764R can eliminate a gain error at negative full-scale
output in the range of −9.77 mV to +9.46 mV with a step size of
one-half of a 16-bit LSB.
1. Calculate the step size of the gain adjustment, using the
following equation:
Gain Adjust Step Size =
= 152.59 µV

represents, using the following equation:
= 16 Steps
The offset error measured is positive; therefore, a negative
adjustment of 16 steps is required. The offset register is
eight bits wide, and the coding is twos complement.
Rev. D | Page 26 of 32
2. Measure the gain error by programming 0x8000 to the
data register and measuring the resulting output voltage.
The gain error is the difference between this value and −10 V.
For this example, the gain error is −1.2 mV.
3. Determine how many gain adjustment steps this value
represents, using the following equation:
Number of Steps =
= 8 Steps
The gain error measured is negative (in terms of magnitude).
Therefore, a positive adjustment of eight steps is required. The
gain register is six bits wide, and the coding is twos complement.
The required gain register value can be determined as follows:
1. Convert the adjustment value to binary: 001000.
2. Program this binary number to the gain register.

DESIGN FEATURES
ANALOG OUTPUT CONTROL
In many industrial process control applications, it is vital that
the output voltage be controlled during power-up and during
brownout conditions. When the supply voltages are changing,
the VOUTx pins are clamped to 0 V via a low impedance path.
To prevent the output amp from being shorted to 0 V during
this time, Transmission Gate G1 is also opened (see Figure 42).
Figure 42. Analog Output Control Circuitry
These conditions are maintained until the power supplies stabilize
and a valid word is written to the data register. G2 then opens, and
G1 closes. Both transmission gates are also externally controllable
by using the reset in (
RSTIN
) control input. For example, if
is driven from a battery supervisor chip, the
RSTIN
input is driven
RSTIN
low to open G1 and close G2 on power-off or during a brownout.
Conversely, the on-chip voltage detector output (
RSTOUT
) is
also available to the user to control other parts of the system.
The basic transmission gate functionality is shown in
Figure 42.
DIGITAL OFFSET AND GAIN CONTROL
The AD5764R incorporates a digital offset adjust function with
a ±16 LSB adjust range and 0.125 LSB resolution. The gain register
allows the user to adjust the AD5764R full-scale output range.
The full-scale output can be programmed to achieve full-scale
ranges of ±10 V, ±10.25 V, and ±10.5 V. A fine gain trim is also
available.
PROGRAMMABLE SHORT-CIRCUIT PROTECTION
The short-circuit current (ISC) of the output amplifiers can be programmed by inserting an external resistor between the ISCC
pin and the PGND pin. The programmable range for the current
is 500 µA to 10 mA, corresponding to a resistor range of 120 kΩ
to 6 kΩ. The resistor value is calculated as follows:
If the ISCC pin is left unconnected, the short circuit current
limit defaults to 5 mA. It should be noted that limiting the
short-circuit current to a small value can affect the slew rate of
the output when driving into a capacitive load. Therefore, the
value of the short-circuit current that is programmed should
take into account the size of the capacitive load being driven.
DIGITAL I/O PORT
The AD5764R contains a 2-bit digital I/O port (D1 and D0). These
bits can be configured independently as inputs or outputs and
can be driven or have their values read back via the serial interface.
The I/O port signals are referenced to DV
and DGND. When
CC
configured as outputs, they can be used as control signals to
multiplexers or can be used to control calibration circuitry
elsewhere in the system. When configured as inputs, the logic
signals from limit switches, for example, can be applied to D0
and D1 and can be read back using the digital interface.
DIE TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The on-chip die temperature sensor provides a voltage output
that is linearly proportional to the Celsius temperature scale.
Its nominal output voltage is 1.47 V at +25°C die temperature,
varying at 5 mV/°C, giving a typical output range of 1.175 V to
1.9 V over the full temperature range. Its low output impedance,
and linear output simplify interfacing to temperature control
circuitry and analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The temperature sensor is provided as more of a convenience than as a precise
feature; it is intended for indicating a die temperature change for
recalibration purposes.
LOCAL GROUND OFFSET ADJUST
The AD5764R incorporates a local ground offset adjust feature
that, when enabled in the function register, adjusts the DAC
outputs for voltage differences between the individual DAC ground
pins and the REFGND pin, ensuring that the DAC output voltages
are always referenced to the local DAC ground pin. For example,
if the AGNDA pin is at +5 mV with respect to the REFGND pin,
and VOUTA is measured with respect to AGNDA, a −5 mV error
results, enabling the local ground offset adjust feature to adjust
VO UTA by + 5 m V, thereby eliminating the error.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
TYPICAL OPERATING CIRCUIT
Figure 43 shows the typical operating circuit for the AD5764R .
The only external components needed for this precision 16-bit
DAC are decoupling capacitors on the supply pins and reference
inputs, and an optional short-circuit current setting resistor.
Because the AD5764R incorporates a voltage reference and
reference buffers, it eliminates the need for an external bipolar
reference and associated buffers, resulting in an overall savings
in both cost and board space.
In Figure 43, AVDD is connected to +15 V, and AVSS is connected to −15 V, but AV
from ±11.4 V to ±16.5 V. In Figure 43, AGNDx is connected to
REFGND.
Precision Voltage Reference Selection
To achieve the optimum performance from the AD5764R over
its full operating temperature range, an external voltage reference
must be used. Care must be taken in the selection of a precision
voltage reference. The AD5764R has two reference inputs,
REFAB and REFCD. The voltages applied to the reference inputs
are used to provide a buffered positive and negative 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.
and AVSS can operate with supplies
DD
Initial accuracy error on the output voltage of an external reference could 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 also be used at 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 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 conditions.
In high accuracy applications, which have a relatively low noise
budget, reference output voltage noise must be considered. It is
important to choose a reference with as low an output noise
voltage as practical for the system resolution that is required.
Precision voltage references, such as the ADR435 (XFET® design),
produce 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.
Table 20. Some Precision References Recommended for Use with the AD5764R
In any circuit where accuracy is important, careful consideration of the power supply and ground return layout helps to
ensure the rated performance. Design the PCB on which the
AD5764R is mounted such that the analog and digital sections
are separated and confined to certain areas of the board. If the
AD5764R is in a system where multiple devices require an
AGNDx-to-DGND connection, establish the connection at one
point only. Establish the star ground point as close as possible to
the device. The AD5764R 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 of the tantalum bead type. The 0.1 µF
capacitor should have low effective series resistance (ESR) and low
effective series inductance (ESI), such as the common ceramic
types that provide a low impedance path to ground at high
frequencies to handle transient currents due to internal logic
switching.
The power supply lines of the AD5764R should use as large a trace
as possible to provide low impedance paths and reduce the effects
of glitches on the power supply line. Shield fast-switching signals,
such as clocks, with digital ground to avoid radiating noise to other
parts of the board; they should never be run near the reference
inputs. A ground line routed between the SDIN and SCLK lines
helps reduce cross talk between them. (A ground line is not
required on a multilayer board because it has a separate ground
plane; however, it is helpful to separate the lines.) It is essential to
minimize noise on the reference inputs because it couples
through to the DAC output. Avoid crossover of digital and
analog signals. Run traces on opposite sides of the board at right
angles to each other to reduce the effects of feedthrough on the
board. A microstrip technique is recommended but not always
possible with a double-sided board. In this technique, the component side of the board is dedicated to the ground plane, and
the signal traces are placed on the solder side.
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. Isocouplers provide voltage isolation in excess of 2.5 kV. The serial
loading structure of the AD5764R makes it ideal for isolated
interfaces because the number of interface lines is kept to a minimum. Figure 44 shows a 4-channel isolated interface to the
AD5764R using an ADuM1400iCoupler® product. For more
information on iCoupler products, refer to www.analog.com.
MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING
Microprocessor interfacing to the AD5764R is accomplished via
a serial bus that uses standard protocol that is 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 synchronization signal. The AD5764R
requires a 24-bit data-word with data valid on the falling edge
of SCLK.
For all the interfaces, a DAC output update can be performed
automatically when all the data is clocked in, or it can be done
under the control of LDAC. The contents of the DAC register
can be read using the readback function.
