The circuit shown in Figure 1 uses the AD5700, the industry’s
lowest power and smallest footprint HART®1-compliant IC
modem, and the AD5422, a 16-bit current output and voltage
output DAC, to form a complete HART-compatible 4 mA to
20 mA solution. The use of the OP184 in the circuit allows the
IOUT and VOUT pins to be shorted together, thus reducing the
number of screw connections required in programmable logic
control (PLC) module applications. For additional space savings,
the AD5700-1 offers a 0.5% precision internal oscillator.

Circuit Note
This circuit adheres to the HART physical layer specifications as
defined by the HART Communication Foundation, for example,
the output noise during silence and the analog rate of change
specifications.
For many years, 4 mA to 20 mA communication has been used
in process control instrumentation. This communication method is
reliable and robust, and offers high immunity to environmental
interference over long communication distances. A limitation,
however, is that only 1-way communication of one process
variable at a time is possible.
The development of the highway addressable remote transducer
(HART) standard provided highly capable 2-way digital
communication, simultaneously with the 4 mA to 20 mA analog
signaling used by traditional instrumentation equipment. This
allows for features such as remote calibration, fault interrogation,
and transmission of additional process variables. Put simply,
HART is a digital two-way communication in which a 1 mA
peak-to-peak, frequency-shift-keyed (FSK) signal is modulated
on top of the 4 mA to 20 mA analog current signal.
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Figure 1 shows the manner in which the AD5422 can be combined
with the AD5700 HART modem and a UART interface to
construct a HART-capable 4 mA to 20 mA current output, typical
of PLC and DCS systems. The buffer connected to the +VSENSE
pin is not necessary if the application does not require the IOUT
and VOUT pins to be shorted. The HART_OUT signal from the
AD5700 is attenuated and ac-coupled into the RSET pin of the
AD5422. If the external RSET resistor is not being used, an
alternative method of connecting the AD5422 and the AD5700
via the CAP2 pin can be found in Application Note AN-1065, as
previously described. This method is only relevant to the 40-lead
LFCSP package option of the AD5422 because the lower pincount 24-lead TSSOP package does not contain a CAP2 pin.
While the method described in the current circuit note requires
the use of the external RSET resistor, in return, it provides better
power supply rejection performance than the alternative
application note solution. The use of either solution results in
the AD5700 HART modem output modulating the 4 mA to 20 mA
analog current (as shown in Figure 2) without affecting the dc level
of the current. The diode protection circuitry (D1 to D4) is
discussed in more detail in the Transient Voltage Protection
section.

Application Note AN-1065 describes a manner in which the
AD5420 IOUT DAC can be configured for HART communication
compliance. AN-1065 outlines how the AD5700 HART modem
output can be attenuated and ac coupled into the AD5420 via the
CAP2 pin. The same is true of the AD5422. However, if the
application involves a particularly harsh environment, an
alternative circuit configuration can be used which offers better
power supply rejection characteristics. This alternative circuit
requires the use of the external RSET resistor and involves coupling
the HART signal into the RSET pin of the AD5420 or AD5422.
The CN-0270 describes this solution for the AD5420, typical of
line-powered transmitter applications. The current circuit note
is relevant to the AD5422, which, unlike the AD5420, offers
both a voltage and a current output pin, and so is particularly
useful in PLC/distributed control system (DCS) applications.
The AD5422 is available in both 40-lead LFCSP and 24-lead
TSSOP packages and the relevance of this, to the circuit
characteristics, is examined in the Circuit Description section.

Determining the Values of the External Components
Capacitors, C1 and C2, can be used in conjunction with the digital
slew rate control functionality of the part to control the slew
rate of the IOUT signal of the AD5422. In determining the absolute
values of the capacitors, ensure that the FSK output from the
modem is passed undistorted. Thus, the bandwidth presented to
the modem output signal must pass the 1200 Hz and 2200 Hz
frequencies. Figure 3 shows a circuit that achieves this requirement.
In this case, C2 (shown in Figure 1) is left open-circuit.

The output of the modem is an FSK signal consisting of 1200 Hz
and 2200 Hz shift frequencies. This signal must translate to a
1 mA p-p current signal. To achieve this, the signal amplitude at
the RSET pin must be attenuated. This is due to the internal current
gain configuration in the AD5422 design. Assuming that the
modem output amplitude is 500 mV p-p, its output must be
attenuated by 500/150 = 3.33. This attenuation is achieved by
means of RH and CL.

Output Noise During Silence
The AD5422 output current was set to 4 mA, 12 mA, and 20 mA.
Results with the band-pass filter in place were very similar for all
three output current values, while the wide bandwidth noise
increased slightly as the current output value increased. The rms
values measured, with and without the HCF_TOOL-31 band-pass
filter in the case of 4 mA output current, were 143 µV rms and
1.4 mV rms, respectively. Both of these values are well within the
required specifications of 2.2 mV rms (with HART filter) and
138 mV rms (broadband noise without HART filter). For
12 mA output current, the rms values measured, with and
without the HCF_TOOL-31 band-pass filter were 158 µV rms
and 2.1 mV rms, respectively, again, both well within HART
protocol specifications.
When a HART device is not transmitting (silent), it should not
couple noise onto the network in the HART extended frequency
band. Excessive noise may interfere with reception of HART
signals by the device itself or other devices on the network.
The voltage noise measured across a 500 Ω load must contain
no more than 2.2 mV rms of combined broadband and correlated
noise in the extended frequency band. This noise was measured
by connecting the HCF_TOOL-31 filter (available from the
HART Communication Foundation) across the 500 Ω load and
by connecting the output of the filter to a true rms meter (see
Figure 6). An oscilloscope was also used to examine the output
waveform peak-to-peak voltage.

It requires very large capacitor values at CAP1 and CAP2 to
reduce the bandwidth below 25 Hz. The optimum solution is to
use a combination of the external capacitors and the digital slew
rate control function of the AD5422. The two capacitors, C1
and C2, have the effect of reducing the rate of change of the
analog signal; however, not sufficiently enough to meet the
specification. Enabling the slew rate control feature offers the
flexibility to set the rate of change.

The normal time for the output of the AD5422 to change from
4 mA to 20 mA is about 10 µs. This is obviously too fast and can
cause major disruption to a HART network. To reduce the rate of
change, the AD5422 employs two features: connecting capacitors
at the CAP1 and CAP2 pins, and an internal linear digital slew
rate control function (refer to the AD5422 data sheet for details).
For faster slew rates, a nonlinear digital ramp can be implemented
on the controller/FPGA communicating with the AD5422.
Figure 8. Noise at Input (CH1) and Output (CH2) of HART Filter with 12 mA
Output Current
Analog Rate of Change
This specification ensures that when a device regulates current,
the maximum rate of change of analog current does not interfere
with HART communications. Step changes in current disrupt
HART signaling. The same test circuit shown in Figure 6 was
used. For this test, the AD5422 was programmed to output a
cyclic waveform, switching from 4 mA to 20 mA with no delay
at either value, to ensure the maximum rate of change. To meet
the HART specifications, the waveform at the output of the filter
must not exhibit a peak voltage greater than 150 mV. Meeting
this requirement ensures that the maximum bandwidth of the
analog signaling is within the specified dc to 25 Hz frequency band.
Figure 9 shows the output of the AD5422 and the output of the
HART filter. The peak voltage at the output of the filter is within
specification at 82 mV. The slew rate settings are SR clock = 3 and
SR step = 2, setting the transition time from 4 mA to 20 mA at
approximately 120 ms. C1 is 4.7 nF and C2 is unconnected. If
this rate of change is too slow, the slew time can be reduced.
With this circuit configuration of C1 = 4.7 nF and C2 unconnected,
it was found that setting up an 80 ms slew time (SR clock = 1,
SR step = 2) gave an analog rate of change result inside the HART
specification. However, reducing the slew time further, to 60 ms
(SR clock = 0, SR step = 2), pushed the result just outside of the
150 mV specification. The capacitor connected from CAP1 to
AVDD can be used to counteract the effect of the increased peak
voltage at the output of the filter due to faster slew times.
However, care must be taken when choosing this value because
it has an effect on the low-pass filter frequency cutoff discussed
in the Determining the Values of the External Components
section.
Rev. A | Page 5 of 10
CN-0278
Circuit Note
Figure 10 shows the results of changing the slew rate control
settings to SR clock = 5 and SR step = 2, while leaving the C1
capacitor value unchanged at 4.7 nF. This results in a transition
time of approximately 240 ms. The peak amplitude at the output
of the filter can be reduced further by increasing the value of
C1, configuring a slower slew rate, or a combination of both.

The iCoupler family of products from Analog Devices, Inc., provides
voltage isolation in excess of 2.5 kV. Further information on
iCoupler products is available at www.analog.com/icouplers. To
reduce the number of isolators required, nonessential signals, such
as CLEAR, can be connected to GND; FAULT and SDO can be
left unconnected, reducing the isolation requirements to only three
signals. However, note that either FAULT or SDO are required
to provide access to the fault detection features of the AD5422.

Transient Voltage Protection
The AD5422 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 AD5422 from excessively high voltage transients, external
power diodes and a surge current limiting resistor may be required,
as shown in Figure 1. The constraint on the resistor value, shown
in Figure 1 as 18 Ω, is that during normal operation the output
level at IOUT must remain within its voltage compliance limit of
AVDD − 2.5 V, and the two protection diodes and resistor must have
the appropriate power ratings. With 18 Ω, for a 4 mA to 20 mA
output, the compliance limit at the terminal is decreased by
V = IMAX × R = 0.36 V. There is also a 10 kΩ resistor shown at
the positive input of the OP184 buffer. This protects the amplifier
by limiting the current during a transient event. Further protection
can be provided with transient voltage suppressors (TVS) or
transorbs. These are available as both unidirectional and
bidirectional suppressors, and in a wide range of standoff
and breakdown voltage ratings. Size the TVS with the lowest
breakdown voltage possible while not conducting in the
functional range of the current output. It is recommended
that all remotely connected nodes be protected.
A common variation on the circuit shown in Figure 1 is to use
the AD5420, which is similar to the AD5422, but contains only
a current output. It therefore does not contain the OP184 buffer
configuration at the output. This AD5420 and AD5700 HART
modem circuit is described in more detail in CN-0270. Circuit
Note CN-0065 provides extra information on an IEC 61000compliant solution for a fully isolated output module using the
AD5422 and the ADuM1401 digital isolator. Circuit Note CN-0233
contains information on providing power and data isolation using
the ADuM3471 PWM controller and transformer driver with
quad-channel isolators.
If multiple channels are required, the AD5755-1 quad voltage
and current output DAC may be used. This product has innovative
on-chip dynamic power control that minimizes package power
dissipation in current mode. Each channel has a corresponding
CHARTx pin so that HART signals can be coupled to the
current output of the AD5755-1.
The AD5421 and the AD5700 HART modem can be combined if
the requirement is a loop powered, 4 mA to 20 mA HART solution.
Such a HART enabled smart transmitter reference demo circuit
was developed by Analog Devices and uses the AD5421, the
ADuCM360, and the AD5700 modem. This circuit has been
compliance tested, verified, and registered as an approved
HART solution by the HART Communication Foundation.
CIRCUIT EVALUATION AND TEST
To build this circuit, it requires the use of the AD5422 evaluation
board (EVAL-AD5422EBZ, LFCSP version) and the AD5700-1
evaluation board (EVAL-AD5700-1EBZ), see Figure 11. As well as
the two evaluation boards, the circuit also requires three external
capacitors (C1, CH, and CL), a resistor (RH), a load resistor (RL),
a buffer amplifier, and a UART 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.

Noise During Silence Measurements—AD5422 LFCSP
Analog Rate of Change Measurements—AD5422 LFCSP
As described previously, for the output noise during silence tests,
the AD5700 modem was not transmitting (silent). The AD5422
was set to output the required current and passed through the
HART Communication Foundation band-pass filter. The output
noise was then measured using a Tektronix TDS1012B oscilloscope
and found to be within the HART Communication Foundation
protocol specifications.
The analog rate of change specification ensures that when the
AD5422 regulates current, the maximum rate of change of analog
current does not interfere with HART communications. Step
changes in current disrupt HART signaling. For this test, the
AD5422 was programmed to output a cyclic waveform switching
from 4 mA to 20 mA with no delay at either value to ensure the
maximum rate of change. The slew rate settings used were SR clock
= 3 and SR step = 2, with C1 set to 4.7 nF and C2 open circuit.

Extra measurements were also taken in an effort to simulate

configuration; however, without the capacitor on the CAP1 pin
(C1) present (because the TSSOP version of this part does not
contain a CAP1 pin).
While the results for output noise during silence tests were greater
without C1 in place, than in the case of the LFCSP part with
C1 in place, they were still within the HART Communication
Foundation protocol specifications. Channel 2 in Figure 12
and Figure 13 shows the broadband noise results with the
HCF_TOOL-31 filter in place, 530 µV rms for 4 mA IOUT and
690 µV rms for 12 mA IOUT. These plots can be compared with
Figure 7 and Figure 8 to show the effect of the presence of C1.
In terms of the analog rate of change test, the maximum peak result
with and without C1 in place were similar. The main difference
seen between the results was that without C1, the peak to peak
noise floor was much larger. Figure 14 and Figure 15 show the
analog rate of change plots for a slew rate of 120 ms (SR clock = 3
and SR step = 2) and 240 ms (SR clock = 5 and SR step = 2),
respectively.

Measurements were also completed whereby the slew rate was
reduced even further by changing the SR clock setting to 5
rather than 3, and leaving all other settings and component
values unchanged, the effects of which can be seen if Figure 9
and Figure 10 are compared.
Again, these plots can be compared with Figure 9 and Figure 10
to show the effect of the presence of C1. While the HART-coupling
technique used in this circuit configuration requires the use of
the external RSET resistor, note that even if the HART portion of
this circuit is not implemented, the addition of the buffer causes
a marginal degradation on IOUT accuracy when the internal RSET
resistor is used. It is, therefore, recommended to use the external
RSET resistor when using this buffer configuration to tie the
voltage and current output pins together.
