GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5025/AD5045/AD5065 are low power, dual 12-/14-/16-bit
buffered voltage output nanoDAC® DACs offering relative accuracy
specifications of ±1 LSB INL with individual reference pins, and
can operate from a single 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply. The AD5025/
AD5045/AD5065 also offer a differential accuracy specification of
±1 LSB. The parts use a versatile 3-wire, low power Schmitt
trigger serial interface that operates at clock rates up to 50 MHz
and is compatible with standard SPI®, QSPI™, MICROWIRE™,
and DSP interface standards. The reference for the AD5025/
AD5045/AD5065 are supplied from an external pin and a refer-

FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
AD5025/AD5045/AD5065
ence buffer is provided on chip. The AD5025/AD5045/AD5065
incorporate a power-on reset circuit that ensures the DAC output
powers up zero scale or midscale and remains there until a valid
write takes place to the device. The AD5025/AD5045/AD5065
contain a power-down feature that reduces the current consumption of the device to typically 400 nA at 5 V and provides software
selectable output loads while in power-down mode. The parts are
put into power-down mode over the serial interface. Total unadjusted error for the parts is <2.5 mV. The parts exhibit very low
glitch on power-up. The outputs of all DACs can be updated
simultaneously using the
functionality of user-selectable DAC channels to simultaneously
update. There is also an asynchronous
to a software-selectable code—0 V, midscale, or full scale. The
parts also feature a power-down lockout pin,
used to prevent the DAC from entering power-down under any
circumstances over the serial interface.

Pulsing this pin low allows any or all DAC registers to be updated if the input registers have new data. This
LDAC
allows all DAC outputs to simultaneously update. This pin can be tied permanently low in standalone
mode. When daisy-chain mode is enabled, this pin cannot be tied permanently low. The LDAC
be used in asynchronous LDAC update mode, as shown in Figure 3, and the LDAC pin must be brought
high after pulsing. This allows all DAC outputs to simultaneously update.

A Analog Output Voltage from DAC A. The output amplifier has rail-to-rail operation.

7 SDO
Serial Data Output. Can be used for daisy-chaining a number of these devices together or for reading
back the data in the shift register for diagnostic purposes. The serial data is transferred on the rising
edge of SCLK and is valid on the falling edge of the clock.

Asynchronous Clear Input. The CLR input is falling edge sensitive. When CLR is low, all LDAC pulses are

ignored. When CLR
is activated, the input register and the DAC register are updated with the data
contained in the clear code register—zero, midscale, or full scale. Default setting clears the output to 0 V.

The PDL pin is used to ensure hardware shutdown lockout of the device under any circumstance. A
PDL
Logic 1 at the PLO
pin causes the device to behave as normal. The user may successfully enter
software power-down over the serial interface while Logic 1 is applied to the PDL
If a Logic 0 is applied to this pin, it ensures that the device cannot enter software power-down under
any circumstances. If the device had previously been placed in software power-down mode, a high-to-
low transition at the PDL pin causes the DAC(s) to exit power-down and output a voltage corresponding to
the previous code in the DAC register before the device entered software power-down.
13 DIN
Serial Data Input. This device has a 32-bit shift register. Data is clocked into the register on the falling
edge of the serial clock input.

TERMINOLOGY
Relative Accuracy
For the DAC, relative accuracy, or integral nonlinearity (INL), is
a measure of the maximum deviation in LSBs from a straight
line passing through the endpoints of the DAC transfer
function. Figure 6, Figure 7, and Figure 8 show plots of typical
INL vs. code.
Differential Nonlinearity
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. Figure 9, Figure 10, and Figure 11 show plots of
typical DNL vs. code.
Offset Error
Offset error is a measure of the difference between the actual
V
and the ideal V
OUT
, expressed in millivolts in the linear
OUT
region of the transfer function. Offset error is measured on the
part with Code 512 (AD5065), Code 128 (AD5045), and Code 32
(AD5025) loaded into the DAC register. It can be negative or
positive and is expressed in millivolts.
Offset Error Drift
Offset error drift is a measure of the change in offset error with
a change in temperature. It is expressed in microvolts per degree
Celsius.
Gain Error
Gain error is 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.
Gain Temperature Coefficient
Gain error drift is a measure of the change in gain error with
changes in temperature. It is expressed in parts per million of
full-scale range per degree Celsius. Measured with V
< VDD.
REF
Full-Scale Error
Full-scale error is a measure of the output error when full-scale
code (0xFFFF) is loaded into the DAC register. Ideally, the
output should be V
− 1 LSB. Full-scale error is expressed as a
DD
percentage of the full-scale range.
Digital-to-Analog Glitch Impulse
Digital-to-analog glitch impulse is the impulse injected into the
analog output when the input code in the DAC register changes
state. It is normally specified as the area of the glitch in nanovoltseconds and is measured when the digital input code is changed
by 1 LSB at the major carry transition (0x7FFF to 0x8000). See
Figure 25.

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 (or soft power-down
and power-up) while monitoring another DAC kept at midscale.
It is expressed in microvolts.
DC crosstalk due to load current change is a measure of the
impact that a change in load current on one DAC has to another
DAC kept at midscale. It is expressed in microvolts per milliamp.
Reference Feedthrough
Reference feedthrough is the ratio of the amplitude of the signal
at the DAC output to the reference input when the DAC output
is not being updated (that is,
LDAC
is high). It is expressed in
decibels.
Digital Feedthrough
Digital feedthrough is a measure of the impulse injected into
the analog output of a DAC from the digital input pins of the
device but is measured when the DAC is not being written to
SYNC
(
held high). It is specified in nanovolt-seconds. It is
measured with one simultaneous data and clock pulse loaded
to the DAC.
Digital Crosstalk
Digital crosstalk is the glitch impulse transferred to the output
of one DAC at midscale in response to a full-scale code change
(all 0s to all 1s or vice versa) in the input register of another
DAC. It is measured in standalone mode and is expressed in
nanovolt-seconds.

Analog Crosstalk
Analog crosstalk is the glitch impulse transferred to the output
of one DAC due to a change in the output of another DAC. It is
measured by loading one of the input registers with a full-scale
code change (all 0s to all 1s or vice versa) while keeping
LDAC
high, and then pulsing
the DAC whose digital code has not changed. The area of the
glitch is expressed in nanovolt-seconds.
DAC-to-DAC Crosstalk
DAC-to-DAC crosstalk is 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 (all 0s to all 1s or vice versa) with
LDAC
low and monitoring the output of another DAC. The
energy of the glitch is expressed in nanovolt-seconds.

Multiplying Bandwidth
The amplifiers within the DAC have a finite bandwidth. The
multiplying bandwidth is a measure of this. A sine wave on the
reference (with full-scale code loaded to the DAC) appears on
the output. The multiplying bandwidth is the frequency at
which the output amplitude falls to 3 dB below the input.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
Total harmonic distortion is the difference between an ideal
sine wave and its attenuated version using the DAC. The sine
wave is used as the reference for the DAC, and the THD is a
measure of the harmonics present on the DAC output. It is
measured in decibels.

THEORY OF OPERATION
DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG CONVERTER
The AD5025/AD5045/AD5065 are single 12-/14-/16-bit, serial
input, voltage output DACs. The parts operate from supply voltages
of 4.5 V to 5.5 V. Data is written to the AD5025/AD5045/AD5065
in a 32-bit word format via a 3-wire serial interface. The AD5025/
AD5045/AD5065 incorporate a power-on reset circuit that ensures
the DAC output powers up to a known output state. The devices
also have a software power-down mode that reduces the typical
current consumption to typically 400 nA.
Because the input coding to the DAC is straight binary, the ideal
output voltage when using an external reference is given by

DAC ARCHITECTURE
The DAC architecture of the AD5025/AD5045/AD5065 consists
of two matched DAC sections. A simplified circuit diagram is

DAISY-CHAINING
For systems that contain several DACs, or where the user wishes to
read back the DAC contents for diagnostic purposes, the SDO
pin can be used to daisy-chain several devices together and
provide serial readback.
The daisy-chain mode is enabled through a software executable
daisy-chain enable (DCEN) command. Command 1000 is
reserved for this DCEN function (see Table 8). The daisy-chain
mode is enabled by setting a bit (DB1) in the DCEN register.
The default setting is standalone mode, where DB1 = 0.
Table 9 shows how the state of the bit corresponds to the mode
of operation of the device.

The SCLK is continuously applied to the input register when
SYNC
is low. If more than 32 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 this line to the DIN
input on the next DAC in the chain, a multiDAC interface is
constructed. Each DAC in the system requires 32 clock pulses;
therefore, the total number of clock cycles must equal 32N,
where N is the total number of devices in the chain.

AD5025/AD5045/AD5065
POWER-ON RESET AND SOFTWARE RESET
The AD5025/AD5045/AD5065 contain a power-on reset (POR)
circuit that controls the output voltage during power-up. By
connecting the POR pin low, the AD5025/AD5045/AD5065
output powers up to zero scale. Note that this is outside the
linear region of the DAC; by connecting the POR pin high, the
AD5025/AD5045/AD5065 output powers up to midscale. The
output remains powered up at this level until a valid write
sequence is made to the DAC. This is useful in applications
where it is important to know the state of the output of the DAC
while it is in the process of powering up. There is also a software
executable reset function that resets the DAC to the power-on
reset code selected by the POR pin. Command 0111 is reserved
for this reset function (see Table 8).
POWER-DOWN MODES
The AD5025/AD5045/AD5065 contain four separate modes
of operation. Command 0100 is reserved for the power-down
function (see Table 8). These modes are software-programmable
by setting two bits, Bit DB9 and Bit DB8, in the input register (see
Table 12). Table 11 shows how the state of the bits corresponds
to the mode of operation of the device.
Table 11. Modes of Operation
DB9 DB8 Operating Mode
0 0 Normal operation, power-down modes
0 1 1 kΩ to GND
1 0 100 kΩ to GND
1 1 Three-state
When both Bit DB9 and Bit DB8 in the input register are set to 0,
the part works normally with its normal power consumption of
2.2 mA at 5 V. However, for the three power-down modes, the
supply current falls to 0.4 μV at 5 V. Not only does the supply
current fall, but the output stage is also internally switched from
the output of the amplifier to a resistor network of known values.
This has the advantage that the output impedance of the part is
known while the part is in power-down mode. There are three
different options. The output is connected internally to GND
through either a 1 kΩ or a 100 kΩ resistor, or it is left opencircuited (three-state). The output stage is illustrated in Figure 45.

The bias generator, output amplifier, resistor string, and other
associated linear circuitry are shut down when the power-down
mode is activated. However, the contents of the DAC register are
unaffected when in power-down. The time to exit power-down
is typically 4.5 μs for V
= 5 V (see Figure 24).
DD
Either or both DACs (DAC A and DAC B) can be powered down
to the selected mode by setting the corresponding bits (DB3 and
DB0) to 1. See Table 12 for the contents of the input register
during power-down/power-up operation.
Any combination of DACs can be powered up by setting PD1 = 0
and PD0 = 0 (normal operation). The output powers up to the
LDAC
value in the input register (
DAC register before powering down (
low) or to the value in the
LDAC

POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING AND GROUNDING
When accuracy is important in a circuit, it is helpful to carefully
consider the power supply and ground return layout on the board.
The printed circuit board (PCB) containing the AD5025/AD5045/
AD5065 should have separate analog and digital sections. If the
AD5025/AD5045/AD5065 are in a system where other devices
require an AGND-to-DGND connection, the connection should
be made at one point only. This ground point should be as close
as possible to the AD5025/AD5045/AD5065.
Bypass the power supply to the AD5025/AD5045/AD5065 with
10 μF and 0.1 μF capacitors. The capacitors should physically be
as close as possible to the device, with the 0.1 μF capacitor
ideally right up against the device. The 10 μF capacitors are the
tantalum bead type. It is important that the 0.1 μF capacitor has
low effective series resistance (ESR) and low effective series
inductance (ESI), which is typical of common ceramic types of
capacitors. This 0.1 μF capacitor provides a low impedance path
to ground for high frequencies caused by transient currents due
to internal logic switching.
The power supply line should have as large a trace as possible to
provide a low impedance path and reduce glitch effects on the
supply line. Shield clocks and other fast switching digital signals
from other parts of the board by digital ground. Avoid crossover
of digital and analog signals if possible. When traces cross on
opposite sides of the board, ensure that they run at right angles
to each other to reduce feedthrough effects through the board.
The best board layout technique is the microstrip technique,
where the component side of the board is dedicated to the
ground plane only and the signal traces are placed on the solder
side. However, this is not always possible with a 2-layer board.

conditions for correct operation of this interface are as follows:
The 68HC11/68L11 is configured with its CPOL bit as 0, and its
CPHA bit as 1. When data is being transmitted to the DAC, the
SYNC
line is taken low (PC7). When the 68HC11/68L11 is
configured as described previously, data appearing on the MOSI
output is valid on the falling edge of SCK. Serial data from the
68HC11/68L11 is transmitted in 8-bit bytes with only eight
falling clock edges occurring in the transmit cycle. Data is
transmitted MSB first. To load data to the AD5025/AD5045/
AD5065, PC7 is left low after the first eight bits are transferred,
and a second serial write operation is performed to the DAC.
PC7 is taken high at the end of this procedure.

AD5025/AD5045/AD5065 to 80C51/80L51 Interface
Figure 48 shows a serial interface between the AD5025/AD5045/
AD5065 and the 80C51/80L51 microcontroller. The setup for
the interface is as follows: TxD of the 80C51/80L51 drives SCLK
of the AD5025/AD5045/AD5065, and RxD drives the serial
SYNC
data line of the part. The
signal is again derived from a
bit-programmable pin on the port. In this case, Port Line P3.3 is
used. When data is to be transmitted to the AD5025/AD5045/
AD5065, P3.3 is taken low. The 80C51/80L51 transmits data in
8-bit bytes only; thus, only eight falling clock edges occur in the
transmit cycle. To load data to the DAC, P3.3 is lept low after
the first eight bits are transmitted, and a second write cycle is
initiated to transmit the second byte of data. P3.3 is taken high
following the completion of this cycle. The 80C51/80L51 outputs
the serial data in LSB-first format. The AD5025/AD5045/AD5065
must receive data with the MSB first. The 80C51/80L51 transmit
routine should take this into account.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
USING A REFERENCE AS A POWER SUPPLY FOR
THE AD5025/AD5045/AD5065
Because the supply current required by the AD5025/AD5045/
AD5065 is extremely low, an alternative option is to use a voltage
reference to supply the required voltage to the parts (see Figure 50).
This is especially useful if the power supply is quite noisy or if
the system supply voltages are at some value other than 5 V or
3 V, for example, 15 V. The voltage reference outputs a steady
supply voltage for the AD5025/AD5045/AD5065. If the low
dropout REF195 is used, it must supply 500 μA of current to
the AD5025/AD5045/AD5065 with no load on the output of
the DAC. When the DAC output is loaded, the REF195 also needs
to supply the current to the load. The total current required
(with a 5 kΩ load on the DAC output) is
500 μA + (5 V/5 kΩ) = 1.5 mA
The load regulation of the REF195 is typically 2 ppm/mA,
which results in a 3 ppm (15 μV) error for the 1.5 mA current
drawn from it. This corresponds to a 0.196 LSB error.

BIPOLAR OPERATION USING THE
AD5025/AD5045/AD5065
The AD5025/AD5045/AD5065 is designed for single-supply
operation, but a bipolar output range is also possible using the
circuit in Figure 51. The circuit gives an output voltage range of
±5 V. Rail-to-rail operation at the amplifier output is achievable
using an AD820 or an OP295 as the output amplifier.
The output voltage for any input code can be calculated as
follows:
This is an output voltage range of ±5 V, with 0x0000 corresponding to a −5 V output, and 0xFFFF corresponding to a
+5 V output.

USING THE AD5025/AD5045/AD5065 WITH A
GALVANICALLY ISOLATED INTERFACE
In process control applications in industrial environments, it is
often necessary to use a galvanically isolated interface to protect
and isolate the controlling circuitry from any hazardous commonmode voltages that can occur in the area where the DAC is
functioning. iCoupler® provides isolation in excess of 2.5 kV.
The AD5025/AD5045/AD5065 use a 3-wire serial logic interface,
so the ADuM1300 three-channel digital isolator provides the
required isolation (see Figure 52). The power supply to the part
also needs to be isolated, which is achieved by using a transformer.
On the DAC side of the transformer, a 5 V regulator provides the
5 V supply required for the AD5025/AD5045/AD5065.
