GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5601/AD5611/AD5621, members of the nanoDAC
family, are single, 8-/10-/12-bit, buffere d, voltage-out DACs that
operate from a single 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply, consuming typically
75 µA at 5 V. The parts come in a tiny SC70 package. Their onchip precision output amplifier allows rail-to-rail output swing
to be achieved. The AD5601/AD5611/AD5621 utilize a versatile
3-wire serial interface that operates at clock rates up to 30 MHz
and is compatible with SPI, QSPI™, MICROWIRE™, and DSP
interface standards.
The reference for the AD5601/AD5611/AD5621 is derived from
the power supply inputs and, therefore, gives the widest
dynamic output range. The parts incorporate a power-on reset
circuit, which ensures that the DAC output powers up to 0 V
and remains there until a valid write to the device takes place.
The AD5601/AD5611/AD5621 contain a power-down feature
that reduces current consumption to typically 0.2 µA at 3 V, and
provides software-selectable output loads while in power-down
mode. The parts are put into power-down mode over the serial
interface.

AD5641 2.7 V to 5.5 V, <100 µA, 14-Bit nanoDAC in SC70
Package
The low power consumption of these parts in normal operation
makes them ideally suited to portable battery-operated equipment. The combination of small package and low power makes
these nanoDAC devices ideal for level-setting requirements
such as generating bias or control voltages in space-constrained
and power-sensitive applications.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. Available in a space-saving, 6-lead SC70 package.
2. Low power, single-supply operation. The AD5601/
AD5611/AD5621 operate from a single 2.7 V to 5.5 V
supply and with a maximum current consumption of
100 µA, making them ideal for battery-powered
applications.
3. The on-chip output buffer amplifier allows the output of
the DAC to swing rail-to-rail with a typical slew rate of
0.5 V/µs.
4. Reference derived from the power supply.
5. High speed serial interface with clock speeds up to
30 MHz. Designed for very low power consumption. The
interface powers up only during a write cycle.
6. Power-down capability. When powered down, the DAC
typically consumes 0.2 µA at 3 V. Power-on reset with
brownout detection.
Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any
other conditions above those listed in the operational sections
of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on
the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

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. See Figure 4 to Figure 6 for 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. See Figure 10 to Figure 12 for plots of
typical DNL vs. code.
Zero-Code Error
Zero-code error is a measure of the output error when zero
code (0x0000) is loaded to the DAC register. Ideally, the output
should be 0 V. The zero-code error is always positive in the
AD5601/AD5611/AD5621, because the output of the DAC
cannot go below 0 V. Zero-code error is due to a combination of
the offset errors in the DAC and output amplifier. Zero-code
error is expressed in mV. See Figure 27 for a plot of zero-code
error vs. temperature.
Full-Scale Error
Full-scale error is a measure of the output error when full-scale
code (0xFFFF) is loaded to the DAC register. Ideally, the output
should be V
Figure 27 for a plot of full-scale error vs. temperature.
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 ideal,
expressed as a percent of the full-scale range.
− 1 LSB. Full-scale error is expressed in mV. See
DD
Tot a l U n ad ju s te d E rr o r
Total unadjusted error (TUE) is a measure of the output error
taking all the various errors into account. See Figure 7 to
Figure 9 for plots of typical TUE vs. code.
Zero-Code Error Drift
Zero-code error drift is a measure of the change in zero-code
error with a change in temperature. It is expressed in µV/°C.
Gain Error Drift
Gain error drift is a measure of the change in gain error 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
and is measured when the digital input code is changed by
1 LSB at the major carry transition (0x2000 to 0x1FFF). See
Figure 18.
Digital Feedthrough
Digital feedthrough is a measure of the impulse injected into
the analog output of the DAC from the digital inputs of the
DAC, but is measured when the DAC output is not updated. It is
specified in nV-s and is measured with a full-scale code change
on the data bus, that is, from all 0s to all 1s and vice versa.

THEORY OF OPERATION
D/A SECTION
The AD5601/AD5611/AD5621 DACs are fabricated on a
CMOS process. The architecture consists of a string DAC
followed by an output buffer amplifier. Figure 38 is a block

where D is the decimal equivalent of the binary code that is

RESISTOR STRING
The resistor string structure is shown in Figure 39. It is simply a
string of resistors, each of value R. The code loaded to the DAC
register determines at which node on the string the voltage is
tapped off to be fed into the output amplifier. The voltage is
tapped off by closing one of the switches connecting the string
to the amplifier. Because it is a string of resistors, it is guaranteed monotonic.

The output buffer amplifier is capable of generating rail-to-rail
voltages on its output, giving an output range of 0 V to V

. It is
capable of driving a load of 2 kΩ in parallel with 1000 pF to
GND. The source and sink capabilities of the output amplifier
are shown in Figure 24. The slew rate is 0.5 V/µs, with a halfscale settling time of 8 µs with the output loaded.
SERIAL INTERFACE
The AD5601/AD5611/AD5621 have a 3-wire serial interface
SYNC
, SCLK, and SDIN) t hat is compatible with SPI, QSPI,
(
and MICROWIRE interface standards as well as most DSPs. See
Figure 2 for a timing diagram of a typical write sequence.
The write sequence begins by bringing the
SYNC
line low. Data
from the SDIN line is clocked into the 16-bit shift register on
the falling edge of SCLK. The serial clock frequency can be as
high as 30 MHz, making the AD5601/AD5611/AD5621 compatible with high speed DSPs. On the 16
th
falling clock edge, the

INPUT SHIFT REGISTER
The input shift register is 16 bits wide (see Figure 40). The first
two bits are control bits, which control the mode of operation
the power is in (normal mode or any one of three power-down
modes). For a complete description of the various modes, see
the Power-Down Modes section. The next 16 bits are the data
bits, which are transferred to the DAC register on the 16
edge of SCLK.

POWER-ON RESET
The AD5601/AD5611/AD5621 contain a power-on reset circuit
that controls the output voltage during power-up. The DAC
register is filled with 0s and the output voltage is 0 V. It remains
there until a valid write sequence is made to the DAC. This is
useful in applications in which it is important to know the state
of the DAC’s output while it is in the process of powering up.
POWER-DOWN MODES
The AD5601/AD5611/AD5621 have four separate modes of
operation. These modes are software-programmable by setting
two bits (DB15 and DB14) in the control register. Table 6 shows
how the state of the bits corresponds to the mode of operation
of the device.

DB15 DB14 Operating Mode
0 0 Normal operation
Power-down mode:
0 1 1 kΩ to GND
1 0 100 kΩ to GND
1 1 Three-state
When both bits are set to 0, the part works normally with its
normal power consumption of 100 µA maximum at 5 V.
However, for the three power-down modes, the supply current
falls to typically 0.2 µA at 3 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 powerdown mode.
There are three different options: the output is connected
internally to GND through a 1 kΩ resistor or a 100 kΩ resistor,
or the output is left open-circuited (three-state). Figure 42
shows the output stage.

The bias generator, output amplifier, resistor string, and other
associated linear circuitry are all shut down when power-down
mode is activated. However, the contents of the DAC register
are unaffected when in power-down. The time to exit powerdown is typically 13 µs for V
= 5 V and 16 µs for VDD = 3 V.

Figure 43 shows a serial interface between the AD5601/
AD5611/AD5621 and the ADSP-2101/ADSP-2103. The
ADSP-2101/ADSP-2103 should be set up to operate in SPORT
transmit alternate framing mode. The ADSP-2101/ADSP-2103
SPORT is programmed through the SPORT control register and
should be configured as follows: internal clock operation, active
low framing, and 16-bit word length. Transmission is initiated
by writing a word to the Tx register after the SPORT is enabled.

Interface
Figure 45 shows a serial interface between the AD5601/
AD5611/AD5621 and the Blackfin ADSP-BF53x microprocessor. The ADSP-BF53x processor family incorporates two dualchannel synchronous serial ports, SPORT1 and SPORT0, for
serial and multiprocessor communications. Using SPORT0 to
connect to the AD5601/ AD5611/AD5621, the setup for the
interface is as follows: DT0PRI drives the SDIN pin of the
AD5601/AD5611/AD5621, while TSCLK0 drives the SCLK of
the part. The

Figure 44 shows a serial interface between the AD5601/

of the 68HC11/68L11 drives the SCLK of the AD5601/
AD5611/AD5621, while the MOSI output drives the serial data
line of the DAC. The
SYNC
signal is derived from a port line
(PC7). The setup conditions for correct operation of this interface are as follows: the 68HC11/68L11 should be configured so
that its CPOL bit is 0 and its CPHA bit is 1. When data is being
transmitted to the DAC, the
SYNC
line is taken low (PC7).
When the 68HC11/68L11 are configured as above, 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
AD5601/AD5611/AD5621, 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.

Figure 46 shows a serial interface between the AD5601/

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
AD5601/AD5611/AD5621, P3.3 is taken low. The 80C51/80L51
transmit data only in 8-bit bytes; therefore, only eight falling
clock edges occur in the transmit cycle. To load data to the
DAC, P3.3 is left 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 output the serial data LSB first. The
AD5601/AD5611/AD5621 require data with the MSB as the
first bit received. The 80C51/80L51 transmit routine should
take this into account.

APPLICATIONS
CHOOSING A REFERENCE AS POWER SUPPLY FOR
THE AD5601/AD5611/AD5621
The AD5601/AD5611/AD5621 come in a tiny SC70 package
with less than 100 µA supply current. Because of this, the choice
of reference depends on the application requirement. For spacesaving applications, the ADR02 is available in an SC70 package
and has excellent drift at 9 ppm/°C (3 ppm/°C in the R-8
package). It also provides very good noise performance at
3.4 µV p-p in the 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz range.
Because the supply current required by the AD5601/AD5611/
AD5621 is extremely low, the parts are ideal for low supply
applications. The ADR395 voltage reference is recommended in
this case. It requires less than 100 µA of quiescent current and
can, therefore, drive multiple DACs in one system, if required. It
also provides very good noise performance at 8 µV p-p in the
0.1 Hz to 10 Hz range.

The AD5601/AD5611/AD5621 have been designed for singlesupply operation, but a bipolar output range is also possible
using the circuit in Figure 49. The circuit in Figure 49 gives an
output voltage range of ±5 V. Rail-to-rail operation at the amplifier output is achievable using an AD820 or OP295 as the

USING THE AD5601/AD5611/AD5621 WITH AN
OPTO-ISOLATED INTERFACE
In process-control applications in industrial environments, it is
often necessary to use an opto-isolated interface to protect and
isolate the controlling circuitry from any hazardous commonmode voltages that might occur in the area where the DAC is
functioning. Opto-isolators provide isolation in excess of 3 kV.
Because the AD5601/AD5611/AD5621 use a 3-wire serial logic
interface, they require only three opto-isolators to provide the
required isolation (see Figure 50). The power supply to the parts
also needs to be isolated. This is done by using a transformer.
On the DAC side of the transformer, a 5 V regulator provides
the 5 V supply required for the AD5601/AD5611/AD5621.

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 containing the AD5601/
AD5611/AD5621 should have separate analog and digital sections, each having its own area of the board. If the AD5601/
AD5611/AD5621 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 AD5601/AD5611/AD5621.
The power supply to the AD5601/AD5611/AD5621 should be
bypassed with 10 µF and 0.1 µF capacitors. The capacitors
should be physically 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 have low effective series resistance (ESR) and
effective series inductance (ESI), such as in 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 itself should have as large a trace as
possible to provide a low impedance path and reduce glitch
effects on the supply line. Clocks and other fast switching digital
signals should be shielded 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.
