AD AD5025BRUZ-REEL7 Fully accurate, 12-/14-/16-bit, dual, vout nanodac spi interface, 4.5 v to 5.5 v in a tssop Datasheet

Fully Accurate, 12-/14-/16-Bit, Dual, VOUT
nanoDAC SPI Interface, 4.5 V to 5.5 V in a TSSOP
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 LDAC function, with the added
functionality of user-selectable DAC channels to simultaneously
update. There is also an asynchronous CLR that clears all DACs
to a software-selectable code—0 V, midscale, or full scale. The
parts also feature a power-down lockout pin, PDL, which can be
used to prevent the DAC from entering power-down under any
circumstances over the serial interface.

Description
Pulsing this pin low allows any or all DAC registers to be updated if the input registers have new data. This
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 pin should
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.
Active Low Control Input. This is the frame synchronization signal for the input data. When SYNC goes
low, it powers on the SCLK and DIN buffers and enables the input register. Data is transferred in on the
falling edges of the next 32 clocks. If SYNC is taken high before the 32nd falling edge, the rising edge of
SYNC acts as an interrupt and the write sequence is ignored by the device.
Power Supply Input. These parts can be operated from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, and the supply should be decoupled
with a 10 μF capacitor in parallel with a 0.1 μF capacitor to GND.
DAC A Reference Input. This is the reference voltage input pin for DAC A.
Analog Output Voltage from DAC A. The output amplifier has rail-to-rail operation.
Power-On Reset Pin. Tying this pin to GND powers up the part to 0 V. Tying this pin to VDD powers up
the part to midscale.
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.
DAC B Reference Input. This is the reference voltage input pin for DAC B.
Analog Output Voltage from DAC B. The output amplifier has rail-to-rail operation.
Ground Reference Point for All Circuitry on the Part.
The PDL pin is used to ensure hardware shutdown lockout of the device under any circumstance. A
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 pin.
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-tolow 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.
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.
Serial Clock Input. Data is clocked into the input register on the falling edge of the serial clock input. Data
can be transferred at rates of up to 50 MHz.

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
VOUT and the ideal VOUT, expressed in millivolts in the linear
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 VREF < VDD.
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 VDD − 1 LSB. Full-scale error is expressed as a
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 Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR)
PSRR indicates how the output of the DAC is affected by changes
in the supply voltage. PSRR is the ratio of the change in VOUT to
a change in VDD for full-scale output of the DAC. It is measured
in decibels. VREF is held at 2.5 V, and VDD is varied ±10%.
Measured with VREF < VDD.
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.
Rev. 0 | Page 15 of 28
AD5025/AD5045/AD5065
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 LDAC low and monitoring the output of
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
OUTPUT AMPLIFIER
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.
The on-chip output buffer amplifier can generate rail-to-rail
voltages on its output, which gives an output range of 0 V to
VDD. The amplifier is capable of driving a load of 5 kΩ in
parallel with 200 pF to GND. The slew rate is 1.5 V/μs with a ¼
to ¾ scale settling time of 13 μs.
Because the input coding to the DAC is straight binary, the ideal
output voltage when using an external reference is given by
D
VOUT  VREFIN   N 
2 
The AD5025/AD5045/AD5065 have a 3-wire serial interface
(SYNC, SCLK, and DIN) that is compatible with SPI, QSPI, and
MICROWIRE interface standards as well as most DSPs. See
Figure 3 for a timing diagram of a typical write sequence.
INPUT REGISTER
The AD5025/AD5045/AD5065 input register is 32 bits wide
(see Figure 41). The first four bits are don’t cares. The next four
bits are the command bits, C3 to C0 (see Table 8), followed by
the 4-bit DAC address bits, A3 to A0 (see Table 7) and finally
the data bits. These data bits comprise the 12-bit, 14-bit, or 16-bit
input code, followed by eight, six, or four don’t care bits for the
AD5025/AD5045/AD5065, respectively (see Figure 41, Figure 42,
and Figure 43). These data bits are transferred to the DAC
register on the 32nd falling edge of SCLK.
where:
D is the decimal equivalent of the binary code that is loaded to
the DAC register (0 to 65,535 for the 16-bit AD5065).
N is the DAC resolution.
DAC ARCHITECTURE
The DAC architecture of the AD5025/AD5045/AD5065 consists
of two matched DAC sections. A simplified circuit diagram is
shown in Figure 40. 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 15 matched resistors to either GND or a VREF
buffer output. The remaining 12 bits of the data-word drive
Switch S0 to Switch S11 of a 12-bit voltage mode R-2R ladder
network.

REFERENCE BUFFER
The AD5025/AD5045/AD5065 operate with an external reference.
Each DAC has a dedicated voltage reference pin and an on-chip
reference buffer. The reference input pin has an input range of
2.5 V to VDD. This input voltage is then used to provide a
buffered reference for the DAC core.

AD5025/AD5045/AD5065
STANDALONE MODE
The write sequence begins by bringing the SYNC line low. Data
from the DIN line is clocked into the 32-bit shift register on the
falling edge of SCLK. The serial clock frequency can be as high
as 50 MHz, making the AD5025/AD5045/AD5065 compatible
with high speed DSPs. On the 32nd falling clock edge, the last
data bit is clocked in and the programmed function is executed,
that is, a change in DAC register contents and/or a change in
the mode of operation. The SYNC line must be brought high
within 30 ns of the 32nd falling edge of SCLK. In either case, it
must be brought high for a minimum of 1.9 μs before the next
write sequence so that a falling edge of SYNC can initiate the next
write sequence. Because the SYNC buffer draws more current
when VIN = VDD than it does when VIN = 0 V, SYNC should be
idled low between write sequences for even lower power
operation of the part. As mentioned previously, however, SYNC
must be brought high again just before the next write sequence.
SYNC INTERRUPT
In a normal write sequence, the SYNC line is kept low for at
least 32 falling edges of SCLK, and the DAC is updated on the
32nd falling edge. However, if SYNC is brought high before the
32nd falling edge, this acts as an interrupt to the write sequence.
The input register is reset, and the write sequence is seen as invalid.
Neither an update of the DAC register contents nor a change in
the operating mode occurs (see Figure 44).
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.
Table 9 shows how the state of the bit corresponds to the mode
of operation of the device.

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.
If SYNC is taken high before 32N clocks are clocked into the
part, it is considered an invalid frame and the data is discarded.
When the serial transfer to all devices is complete, SYNC is
taken high. This prevents any further data from being clocked
into the input register.
The serial clock can be continuous or a gated clock. A continuous
SCLK source can be used only if SYNC can be held 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.
In daisy-chain mode, the LDAC pin cannot be tied permanently
low. The LDAC pin must be used in asynchronous LDAC update
mode, as shown in Figure 3. The LDAC pin must be brought
high after pulsing. This allows all DAC outputs to simultaneously
update.
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.

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 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).

Figure 45. Output Stage During Power-Down
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.
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 VDD = 5 V (see Figure 24).
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
value in the input register (LDAC low) or to the value in the
DAC register before powering down (LDAC high).
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

CLEAR CODE REGISTER
LDAC FUNCTION
The AD5025/AD5045/AD5065 have a hardware CLR pin that
is an asynchronous clear input. The CLR input is falling edge sensitive. Bringing the CLR line low clears the contents of the input
register and the DAC registers to the data contained in the userconfigurable CLR register, and sets the analog outputs accordingly
(see Table 13). This function can be used in system calibration
to load zero scale, midscale, or full scale to all channels together.
These clear code values are user-programmable by setting two
bits, Bit DB1 and Bit DB0, in the input register (see Table 13).
The default setting clears the outputs to 0 V. Command 0101 is
reserved for loading the clear code register (see Table 8).
Hardware LDAC Pin
The outputs of all DACs can be updated simultaneously using
the hardware LDAC pin. The LDAC pin can be used in
synchronous or asynchronous mode, as shown in Figure 3.
Synchronous LDAC: LDAC is held low. After new data is read,
the DAC registers are updated on the falling edge of the 32nd
SCLK pulse. LDAC can be permanently low or pulsed in
standalone mode. LDAC cannot be tied permanently low in
daisy-chain mode.
Asynchronous LDAC: LDAC is held high and pulsed. The outputs
are not updated at the same time that the input registers are
written to. When LDAC goes low, the DAC registers are updated
with the contents of the input register.

Software LDAC Function
Alternatively, the outputs of all DACs can be updated simultaneously using the software LDAC function by writing to Input
Register n (see Table 7) and updating all DAC registers.
Command 0010 is reserved for this software LDAC function.
The part exits clear code mode on the 32nd falling edge of the
next write to the part. If CLR is activated during a write sequence,
the write is aborted.
The LDAC register gives the user extra flexibility and control
over the hardware LDAC pin (see Table 16). Setting the LDAC
bit register (DB0 to DB3) to 0 for a DAC channel means that
this channel update is controlled by the hardware LDAC pin.
If DB0 or DB3 is set to 1, this channel updates synchronously.
The CLR pulse activation time, the falling edge of CLR to when
the output starts to change, is typically 10.6 μs (see Figure 31).
See Table 14 for contents of the input register during the
loading clear code register operation.
The part effectively sees the hardware LDAC pin as being tied
low (see Table 15 for the LDAC register mode of operation).
This flexibility is useful in applications where the user wants to
simultaneously update select channels while the rest of the
channels are synchronously updating.

AD5025/AD5045/AD5065
POWER-DOWN LOCKOUT
The AD5025/AD5045/AD5065 contain a digital input pin, PDL.
When activated, the power-down lockout pin (PDL) disables
software shutdown under any circumstances. The user should
hardwire the PDL pin to a logic low (thus preventing subsequent
software power-down) or logic high (the part can be placed in
power-down mode over the serial interface). If the user transitions
the PDL pin from logic high to a logic low during a valid write
sequence, the device responds immediately and the current
write sequence is aborted. Note the following PDL features.
PDL During a Write Sequence
If a PDL is generated (that is, a high-to-low transition) while a
valid write sequence is ongoing, the write is aborted. The user
must rewrite the current write command again.
PDL While DACs in Power-Down Mode
If a PDL is generated while the DAC(s) are in power-down
mode, the DAC(s) come out of power-down (that is, all powerdown bits are reset to 0000) to the last voltage output corresponding to the last valid stored DAC value. While PDL remains active,
software power-down is disabled.
PDL Low to High Transition
After PDL is taken from a low to a high state, all DAC channels
remain in normal mode, and the user must reissue a software
power-down command to the control register to power down
the required channels.
Transitioning PDL from a low to a high disables the feature
immediately.
If PDL and CLR are generated at the same time, the CLR signal
causes the DAC register to change as per the clear code register,
and the DACs come out of power-down.
The user is recommended to hardwire the pin to a logic high or
low, thereby either enabling or disabling the feature.
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.
If PDL, CLR, and LDAC are generated at the same time, CLR
has higher precedence over LDAC and PDL.

AD5025/AD5045/AD5065 to 80C51/80L51 Interface
AD5025/AD5045/AD5065 to Blackfin ADSP-BF53x
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
data line of the part. The SYNC 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.

SYNC
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 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.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
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
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 A REFERENCE AS A POWER SUPPLY FOR
THE AD5025/AD5045/AD5065
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.
