Data Sheet AD5501
The serial interface offers the user the capability of both writing
to, and reading from, most internal registers.
To reduce power consumption at power up, only the digital
section of the AD5501 is powered up initially. This gives the
user the ability to program the DAC registers to the required
value while typically consuming only 30 μA of supply current.
The AD5501 incorporates power-on reset circuitry that ensures
the DAC registers power up in a known condition and remain
there until a valid write to the device has occurred. The analog
section is powered up by issuing a power-up command via the
SPI interface. The AD5501 provides software-selectable output
loads while in the power-down mode.
The AD5501 has on on-chip temperature sensor. If the temperature on the die exceeds 110°C, the
low CMOS output pin) flags an alarm and the AD5501 enters
a temperature power-down mode that disconnects the output
amplifier, thus removing the short-circuit condition. The AD5501
remains in power-down mode until a software power-up
command is executed.
The AD5501 is available in a compact 16-lead TSSOP. The AD5501
is guaranteed to operate over the extended temperature range of
−40°C to +105°C.

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.
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.
Zero-Code Error
Zero-code error is a measure of the output error when zero code
(0x000) is loaded into the DAC register. Ideally, the output
should be 0 V. The zero-code error is always positive in the
AD5501 because the output of the DAC cannot go below 0 V
due to a combination of the offset errors in the DAC and the
output amplifier. Zero-code error is expressed in millivolts.

with a change in temperature expressed in μV/°C.

expressed in millivolts in the linear region of the transfer function.
Offset error is measured on the AD5501 with Code 32 loaded in
the DAC registers for 60 V mode and with Code 64 loaded in
the DAC registers for 30 V mode. Offset error 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 μV/°C.
Full-Scale Error
Full-scale error is a measure of the output error when full-scale
code (0xFFF) is loaded into the DAC register expressed in
millivolts.
Full-Scale Error Drift
Full-scale error drift is a measure of the change in full-scale
error with a change in temperature. It is expressed in μV/°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 characteristic from the
ideal, expressed as a percentage of the full-scale range.
Gain Temperature Coefficient
The gain temperature coefficient is a measure of the change in
gain with changes in temperature. It is expressed in (ppm of
full-scale range)/°C.
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 nV-s

1 LSB at the major carry transition.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD5501 contains a 12-bit DAC, an output amplifier, and a
precision reference in a single package. The architecture of the
DAC channel consists of a 12-bit resistor string DAC followed
by an output buffer amplifier. The part operates from a singlesupply voltage of 10 V to 62 V. The DAC output voltage range is
selected via the range select,
is 0 V to 30 V if
R_SEL
R_SEL
, pin. The DAC output range
is held high and 0 V to 60 V if
held low. Data is written to the AD5501 in a 16-bit word format
(see Tabl e 8), via a serial interface.
POWER-UP STATE
On power-up, the power-on reset circuitry clears the bits of the
control register to 0x40 (see Table 10) ensuring that the analog
section is initially powered down, which helps reduce power
consumption. The user can program the DAC register to the
required value while typically consuming only 30
µA of supply
current. The power-on reset circuitry also ensures that the input
and DAC registers power up in a known condition, 0x000, and
remain there until a valid write to the device has taken place.
The analog section can be powered up by setting Bit C2 of the
control register to 1.
POWER-DOWN MODE
The DAC channel can be powered up or powered down by
programming Bit C2 in the control register (see Tab l e 10). When
the DAC channel is powered down, the associated analog circuitry
turns off to reduce power consumption. The digital section of
the AD5501 remains powered up. The output of the DAC amplifier
can be three-stated or connected to AGND via an internal 20 kΩ
resistor, depending on the state of Bit C6 in the control register.
The power-down mode does not change the contents of the DAC
register to ensure that the DAC channel returns to its previous
voltage when the power-down bit is set to 1. The AD5501 also
offers the user the flexibility of updating the DAC registers during
power-down. The control register can be read back at any time
to check the status of the bits.
DAC CHANNEL ARCHITECTURE
The architecture of the DAC channel consists of a 12-bit resistor
string DAC followed by an output buffer amplifier (see Figure 14).
The resistor string section is simply a string of resistors, each of
Value R from V
This type of architecture guarantees DAC monotonicity. The 12-bit
binary digital code loaded to the DAC register determines at which
node on the string the voltage is tapped off before being fed into
the output amplifier. The output amplifier multiplies the DAC
output voltage to give a fixed linear voltage output range of 0 V
to 60 V if

on the die exceeds 110°C. In thermal shutdown mode, the analog
section of the device powers down and the DAC output is
disconnected but the digital section remains operational, which
is equivalent to setting the power-down bit in the control register.
To indicate that the AD5501 has entered temperature shutdown
mode, Bit 0 of the control register is set to 1 and the
ALARM
pin goes low. The AD5501 remains in temperature shutdown
mode with Bit 0 set to 1 and the
ALARM
pin low, even if the die
temperature falls, until Bit 0 in the control register is cleared to 0.

SERIAL INTERFACE
The AD5501 has a serial interface (
SYNC
, SCLK, SDI, and
SDO), which is compatible with SPI standards, as well as with
most DSPs. The AD5501 allows writing of data, via the serial
interface, to the input and control registers. The DAC register is
not directly writeable or readable.
The input shift register is 16 bits wide (see Table 8). The 16-bit
word consists of one read/write (R/
W
) control bit, followed by
three address bits and 12 DAC data bits. Data is loaded MSB first.
WRITE MODE
To write to a register, the R/W bit should be 0. The three address
bits in the input register (see Ta ble 9) then determine the register to
update. The address bits (A2 to A0) should be 001 to write to the
DAC input register or 111 to write to the control register. Data
is clocked into the selected register during the remaining 12 clocks
of the same frame. Figure 3 shows a timing diagram of a typical
AD5501 write sequence. The write sequence begins by bringing
SYNC
the
shift register on the rising edge of SCLK. On the 16th falling
clock edge, the last data bit is clocked in and the programmed
function is executed (that is, a change in the selected DAC input
register or a change in the mode of operation). The AD5501 does
not require a continuous SCLK and dynamic power can be saved
by transmitting clock pulses during a serial write only. At this
stage, the
case, it must be brought high for a minimum of 20 ns before the
next write sequence for a falling edge of
write sequence. Operate all interface pins close to the supply
rails to minimize power consumption in the digital input buffers.

READ MODE
The AD5501 allows data readback via the serial interface from
the DAC input register and the control register. To read back a
register, it is first necessary to tell the AD5501 that a readback is
required. This is achieved by setting the R/
W
bit to 1. The three
address bits then determine the register from which data is to
be read back. Data from the selected register is clocked out of
the SDO pin on the next 12 clocks of the same frame.
The SDO pin is normally three-stated but becomes driven on the
rising edge of the fifth clock pulse. The pin remains driven until the
data from the register has been clocked out or the
SYNC
pin is
returned high. Figure 4 shows the timing requirements during a
read operation. Note that due to timing requirements of t
14
(110 ns), the maximum speed of the SPI interface during a read
operation should not exceed 9 MHz.
WRITING TO THE CONTROL REGISTER
The control register is written when Bits[DB14:DB12] are 1. The
control register sets the power-up state of the DAC output. A
write to the control register must be followed by another write
operation. The second write operation can be a write to a DAC
input register or a NOP write. Figure 17 shows some typical
combinations.

INTERFACING EXAMPLES
The SPI interface of the AD5501 is designed to allow it to be easily
connected to industry-standard DSPs and microcontrollers.
Figure 18 shows how the AD5501 can be connected to the Analog
Devices, Inc., Blackfin® DSP. The Blackfin has an integrated SPI
port that can be connected directly to the SPI pins of the AD5501.
Programmable input/output pins are also available and can be
used to read or set the state of the digital input or output pins
associated with the interface.

Figure 17. Control Register Write Sequences
The Analog Devices ADSP-21065L is a floating point DSP with
two serial ports (SPORTs). Figure 19 shows how one SPORT
can be used to control the AD5501. In this example, the transmit
frame synchronization (TFS) pin is connected to the receive frame
synchronization (RFS) pin. The transmit and receive clocks (TCLK
and RCLK) are also connected together. The user can write to the
AD5501 by writing to the transmit register. When a read operation
is performed, the data is clocked out of the AD5501 on the last
12 SCLKs. The DSP receive interrupt can be used to indicate when
the read operation is complete.
