On-Chip Rail-to-Rail Output Buffer Amplifiers
The AD5303/AD5313/AD5323 are dual 8-, 10- and 12-bit
buffered voltage output DACs in a 16-lead TSSOP package that
operate from a single +2.5 V to +5.5 V supply consuming 230 µA
at 3 V. Their on-chip output amplifiers allow the outputs to
swing rail-to-rail with a slew rate of 0.7 V/µs. The AD5303/
AD5313/AD5323 utilize a versatile 3-wire serial interface that
operates at clock rates up to 30 MHz and is compatible with
standard SPI™, QSPI, MICROWIRE™ and DSP interface
standards.
The references for the two DACs are derived from two reference
pins (one per DAC). These reference inputs may be configured
as buffered or unbuffered inputs. The parts incorporate a poweron-reset circuit that ensures that the DAC outputs power-up to
0 V and remain there until a valid write to the device takes place.
There is also an asynchronous active low CLR pin that clears
both DACs to 0 V. The outputs of both DACs may be updated
simultaneously using the asynchronous LDAC input. The
parts contain a power-down feature that reduces the current
consumption of the devices to 200 nA at 5 V (50 nA at 3 V) and
provides software-selectable output loads while in power-down
mode. The parts may also be used in daisy-chaining applications
using the SDO pin.
APPLICATIONS
Portable Battery Powered Instruments
Digital Gain and Offset Adjustment
Programmable Voltage and Current Sources
Programmable Attenuators
The low power consumption of these parts in normal operation
make them ideally suited to portable battery operated equipment. The power consumption is 1.5 mW at 5 V, 0.7 mW at
3 V, reducing to 1 µW in power-down mode.

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 the AD5303/AD5313/AD5323 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.

Active low control input that loads all zeroes to both input and DAC registers.
Active low control input that transfers the contents of the input registers to their respective DAC
registers. Pulsing this pin low allows either or both DAC registers to be updated if the input registers have new data. This allows simultaneous update of both DAC outputs
Power Supply Input. These parts can be operated from +2.5 V to +5.5 V and the supply should be
decoupled to GND.
Reference Input Pin for DAC B. This is the reference for DAC B. It may be configured as a buffered or an unbuffered input, depending on the state of the BUF B pin. It has an input range from
0 V to VDD in unbuffered mode and from 1 V to VDD in buffered mode.
Reference Input Pin for DAC A. This is the reference for DAC A. It may be configured as a
buffered or an unbuffered input depending on the state of the BUF A pin. It has an input range
from 0 to VDD in unbuffered mode and from 1 V to VDD in buffered mode.
Buffered Analog Output Voltage from DAC A. The output amplifier has rail-to-rail operation.
Control pin that controls whether the reference input for DAC A is unbuffered or buffered. If this
pin is tied low, the reference input is unbuffered. If it is tied high, the reference input is buffered.
Control pin that controls whether the reference input for DAC B is unbuffered or buffered. If this
pin is tied low, the reference input is unbuffered. If it is tied high, the reference input is buffered.
This pin is used to enable the daisy-chaining option. This should be tied high if the part is being
used in a daisy-chain. The pin should be tied low if it is being used in stand-alone mode.
Active low control input that acts as a hardware power-down option. This pin overrides any software power-down option. Both DACs go into power-down mode when this pin is tied low. The
DAC outputs go into a high impedance state and the current consumption of the part drops to
200 nA @ 5 V (50 nA @ 3 V).
Buffered Analog Output Voltage from DAC B. The output amplifier has rail-to-rail operation.
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 shift register. Data
is transferred in on the falling edges of the following 16 clocks. If SYNC is taken high before the
16th falling edge, the rising edge of SYNC acts as an interrupt and the write sequence is
ignored by the device.
Serial Clock Input. Data is clocked into the input shift register on the falling edge of the serial clock
input. Data can be transferred at rates up to 30 MHz. The SCLK input buffer is powered-down
after each write cycle.
Serial Data Input. This device has a 16-bit shift register. Data is clocked into the register on the
falling edge of the serial clock input. The DIN input buffer is powered-down after each write cycle.
Ground reference point for all circuitry on the part.
Serial Data Output that 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 output is valid on
the falling edge of the clock.
TERMINOLOGY
OFFSET ERROR
RELATIVE ACCURACY
This is a measure of the offset error of the DAC and the output
amplifier. It is expressed as a percentage of the full-scale range.
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 actual endpoints of the DAC transfer
function. A typical INL vs. code plot can be seen in Figure 5.
GAIN ERROR
This is a measure of the span error of the DAC. It is the deviation in slope of the actual DAC transfer characteristic from the
ideal expressed as a percentage of the full-scale range.
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 DNL of ± 1 LSB maximum ensures
monotonicity. This DAC is guaranteed monotonic by design. A
typical DNL vs. code plot can be seen in Figure 8.
OFFSET ERROR DRIFT
This is a measure of the change in offset error with changes in
temperature. It is expressed in (ppm of full-scale range)/°C.
GAIN ERROR DRIFT
This is a measure of the change in gain error with changes in
temperature. It is expressed in (ppm of full-scale range)/°C.

MAJOR-CODE TRANSITION GLITCH ENERGY
MULTIPLYING BANDWIDTH
Major-code transition glitch energy is the energy of the impulse
injected into the analog output when the code in the DAC register changes state. It is normally specified as the area of the glitch
in nV-secs and is measured when the digital code is changed by
1 LSB at the major carry transition (011 . . . 11 to 100 . . . 00 or
100 . . . 00 to 011 . . . 11).
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.
CHANNEL-TO-CHANNEL ISOLATION
This is a ratio of the amplitude of the signal at the output of one
DAC to a sine wave on the reference input of the other DAC. It
is measured in dBs.
DIGITAL FEEDTHROUGH
Digital feedthrough is a measure of the impulse injected into the
analog output of the 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 nV secs and is measured
with a full-scale change on the digital input pins, i.e., from all 0s
to all 1s and vice versa.

This is the glitch impulse transferred to the output of one DAC
due to a change in the output of the other DAC. It is measured
by loading one of the input registers with a full-scale code

high. Then pulse LDAC low and monitor the output of the
DAC whose digital code was not changed. The area of the glitch

It is measured by loading one of the DACs with a full-scale code
change (all 0s to all 1s and vice versa) while keeping LDAC low
and monitoring the output of the other DAC. The area of the

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
R
The AD5303/AD5313/AD5323 are dual resistor-string DACs
fabricated on a CMOS process with resolutions of 8, 10 and 12
bits respectively. They contain reference buffers, output buffer
amplifiers and are written to via a 3-wire serial interface. They
operate from single supplies of +2.5 V to +5.5 V and the output
buffer amplifiers provide rail-to-rail output swing with a slew
rate of 0.7 V/µs. Each DAC is provided with a separate reference input, which may be buffered to draw virtually no current
from the reference source, or unbuffered to give a reference
input range from GND to VDD. The devices have three programmable power-down modes, in which one or both DACs
may be turned off completely with a high-impedance output, or
the output may be pulled low by an on-chip resistor.

DAC Reference Inputs
The architecture of one DAC channel consists of a reference
buffer and a resistor-string DAC followed by an output buffer
amplifier. The voltage at the VREF pin provides the reference
voltage for the DAC. Figure 27 shows a block diagram of the
DAC architecture. Since the input coding to the DAC is straight
binary, the ideal output voltage is given by:
VOUT =
There is a reference input pin for each of the two DACs. The
reference inputs are buffered but can also be configured as unbuffered. The advantage with the buffered input is the high
impedance it presents to the voltage source driving it. However,
if the unbuffered mode is used, the user can have a reference
voltage as low as GND and as high as VDD since there is no restriction due to headroom and footroom of the reference amplifier.
VREF × D
2N
If there is a buffered reference in the circuit (e.g., REF192), there
is no need to use the on-chip buffers of the AD5303/AD5313/
AD5323. In unbuffered mode the input impedance is still large
at typically 180 kΩ per reference input for 0–VREF mode and
90 kΩ for 0–2 VREF mode.

D = decimal equivalent of the binary code, which is loaded to
the DAC register;
0–255 for AD5303 (8 Bits)
0–1023 for AD5313 (10 Bits)
0–4095 for AD5323 (12 Bits)
The buffered/unbuffered option is controlled by the BUF A and
BUF B pins. If the BUF pin is tied high, the reference input is
buffered, if tied low, it is unbuffered.
N = DAC resolution
Output Amplifier
The output buffer amplifier is capable of generating output
voltages to within 1 mV of either rail which gives an output
range of 0.001 V to VDD – 0.001 V when the reference is VDD. It
is capable of driving a load of 2 kΩ in parallel with 500 pF to
GND and VDD. The source and sink capabilities of the output
amplifier can be seen in Figure 15.

Resistor String
The resistor string section is shown in Figure 28. It is simply a
string of resistors, each of value R. The digital code loaded to
the DAC register determines at what 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 AD5303/AD5313/AD5323 are provided with a power-on
reset function, so that they power up in a defined state. The
power-on state is:
– Normal operation.
– 0–VREF output range.
– Output voltage set to 0 V.
Both input and DAC registers are filled with zeros and remain
so until a valid write sequence is made to the device. This is
particularly useful in applications where it is important to know
the state of the DAC outputs while the device is powering up.
Clear Function (CLR)
The CLR pin is an active low input which, when pulled low,
loads all zeros to both input registers and both DAC registers.
This enables both analog outputs to be cleared to 0 V.

SYNC may be taken high after the falling edge of the 16th
SCLK pulse, observing the minimum SCLK falling edge to
SYNC rising edge time, t7.
SERIAL INTERFACE
The AD5303/AD5313/AD5323 are controlled over a versatile,
3-wire serial interface, which operates at clock rates up to
30 MHz and is compatible with SPI, QSPI, MICROWIRE and
DSP interface standards.
Input Shift Register
The input shift register is 16 bits wide. Data is loaded into the
device as a 16-bit word under the control of a serial clock input,
SCLK. The timing diagram for this operation is shown in Figure 2. The 16-bit word consists of four control bits followed by
8, 10 or 12 bits of DAC data, depending on the device type.
The first bit loaded is the MSB (Bit 15), which determines
whether the data is for DAC A or DAC B. Bit 14 determines the
output range (0–VREF or 0–2 VREF). Bits 13 and 12 control the
operating mode of the DAC.

After the end of serial data transfer, data will automatically be
transferred from the input shift register to the input register of
the selected DAC. If SYNC is taken high before the 16th falling
edge of SCLK, the data transfer will be aborted and the input
registers will not be updated.
When data has been transferred into both input registers, the
DAC registers of both DACs may be simultaneously updated,
by taking LDAC low. CLR is an active-low, asynchronous clear
that clears the input and DAC registers of both DACs to all zeroes.
Low Power Serial Interface
To reduce the power consumption of the device even further,
the interface only powers up fully when the device is being written to. As soon as the 16-bit control word has been written to
the part, the SCLK and DIN input buffers are powered-down.
They only power-up again following a falling edge of SYNC.
Double-Buffered Interface
The AD5303/AD5313/AD5323 DACs all have double-buffered
interfaces consisting of two banks of registers—input registers
and DAC registers. The input register is connected directly to
the input shift register and the digital code is transferred to the
relevant input register on completion of a valid write sequence.
The DAC register contains the digital code used by the resistor
string.

The remaining bits are DAC data bits, starting with the MSB
and ending with the LSB. The AD5323 uses all 12 bits of DAC
data, the AD5313 uses 10 bits and ignores the two LSBs. The
AD5303 uses eight bits and ignores the last four bits. The data
format is straight binary, with all zeroes corresponding to 0 V output, and all ones corresponding to full-scale output (VREF – 1 LSB).
Access to the DAC register is controlled by the LDAC function.
When LDAC is high, the DAC register is latched and the input
register may change state without affecting the contents of the
DAC register. However, when LDAC is brought low, the DAC
register becomes transparent and the contents of the input register are transferred to it.
The SYNC input is a level-triggered input that acts as a frame
synchronization signal and chip enable. Data can only be transferred into the device while SYNC is low. To start the serial
data transfer, SYNC should be taken low observing the minimum SYNC to SCLK active edge setup time, t4. After SYNC
goes low, serial data will be shifted into the device’s input shift
register on the falling edges of SCLK for 16 clock pulses. Any
data and clock pulses after the 16th will be ignored, and no
further serial data transfer will occur until SYNC is taken high
and low again.
This is useful if the user requires simultaneous updating of both
DAC outputs. The user may write to both input registers individually and then, by pulsing the LDAC input low, both outputs
will update simultaneously.
These parts contain an extra feature whereby the DAC register
is not updated unless its input register has been updated since
the last time that LDAC was brought low. Normally, when
LDAC is brought low, the DAC registers are filled with the

contents of the input registers. In the case of the AD5303/AD5313/
AD5323, the part will only update the DAC register if the input
register has been changed since the last time the DAC register
was updated thereby removing unnecessary digital crosstalk.
POWER-DOWN MODES
The AD5303/AD5313/AD5323 have very low power consumption, dissipating only 0.7 mW with a 3 V supply and 1.5 mW
with a 5 V supply. Power consumption can be further reduced
when the DACs are not in use by putting them into one of three
power-down modes, which are selected by Bits 13 and 12 (PD1
and PD0) of the control word. Table II shows how the state of
the bits corresponds to the mode of operation of that particular
DAC.

When both bits are set to 0, the DACs work normally with their
normal power consumption of 300 µA at 5 V. However, for the
three power-down modes, the supply current falls to 200 nA at
5 V (50 nA at 3 V) when both DACs are powered down. Not
only does the supply current drop 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 and provides a defined input condition for whatever
is connected to the output of the DAC amplifier. There are
three different options. The output is connected internally to
GND through a 1 kΩ resistor, a 100 kΩ resistor or it is left in a
high impedance state (Three-State). The output stage is illustrated in Figure 32.
The bias generator, the output amplifier, the resistor string and
all other associated linear circuitry are all shut down when the
power-down mode is activated. However, the contents of the
registers are unaffected when in power-down. The time to exit
power-down is typically 2.5 µs for VDD = 5 V and 5 µs when
VDD = 3 V. See Figure 22 for a plot.

AD5303/AD5313/AD5323 to 68HC11/68L11 Interface
Figure 34 shows a serial interface between the AD5303/AD5313/
AD5323 and the 68HC11/68L11 microcontroller. SCK of the
68HC11/68L11 drives the SCLK of the AD5303/AD5313/
AD5323, while the MOSI output drives the serial data line
(DIN) 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 a 0 and its CPHA bit is a 1. When data is
being transmitted to the DAC, the SYNC line is taken low
(PC7). When the 68HC11/68L11 is 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. In order to load
data to the AD5303/AD5313/AD5323, PC7 is left low after the
first eight bits are transferred, a second serial write operation is
performed to the DAC and PC7 is taken high at the end of this
procedure.
68HC11/68L11*
The software power-down modes programmed by PD0 and
PD1 are overridden by the PD pin. Taking this pin low puts
both DACs into power-down mode simultaneously and both
outputs are put into a high impedance state. If PD is not used it
should be tied high.

AD5303/AD5313/AD5323 to 80C51/80L51 Interface
Figure 35 shows a serial interface between the AD5303/AD5313/
AD5323 and the 80C51/80L51 microcontroller. The setup for
the interface is as follows: TXD of the 80C51/80L51 drives
SCLK of the AD5303/AD5313/AD5323, while 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 AD5303/
AD5313/AD5323, P3.3 is taken low. The 80C51/80L51 transmits data only in 8-bit bytes; thus 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 outputs the serial data in a format that has the LSB first.
The AD5303/AD5313/AD5323 requires its data with the MSB
as the first bit received. The 80C51/80L51 transmit routine
should take this into account.

If an output range of 0 V to VDD is required when the reference
inputs are configured as unbuffered (for example 0 V to +5 V)
then the simplest solution is to connect the reference inputs to
VDD. As this supply may not be very accurate and may be noisy,
then the AD5303/AD5313/AD5323 may be powered from the
reference voltage, for example using a 5 V reference such as the
REF195, as shown in Figure 38. The REF195 will output a
steady supply voltage for the AD5303/AD5313/AD5323. The
current required from the REF195 is 300 µA supply current and
approximately 30 µA or 60 µA into each of the reference inputs
(if unbuffered). This is with no load on the DAC outputs. When
the DAC outputs are loaded, the REF195 also needs to supply
the current to the loads. The total current required (with a 10 kΩ
load on each output) is:
360 µA + 2 (5 V/10 kΩ) = 1.36 mA
The load regulation of the REF195 is typically 2 ppm/mA,
which results in an error of 2.7 ppm (13.5 µV) for the 1.36 mA
current drawn from it. This corresponds to a 0.0007 LSB error
at 8 bits and 0.011 LSB error at 12 bits.

and serial data, but only the SYNC to one of the devices will be
active at any one time, allowing access to two channels in this
8-channel system. The 74HC139 is used as a 2-to-4 line decoder to address any of the DACs in the system. To prevent
timing errors from occurring, the enable input should be brought
to its inactive state while the coded address inputs are changing
state. Figure 41 shows a diagram of a typical setup for decoding
multiple AD5303/AD5313/AD5323 devices in a system.
The output voltage for any input code can be calculated as
follows:
VOUT = [(VREF × D/2N) × (R1+R2)/R1 – VREF × (R2/R1)]
where:
D is the decimal equivalent of the code loaded to the DAC and
N is the DAC resolution.
VREF is the reference voltage input, and gain bit = 0.
with:
VREF = 5 V
R1 = R2 = 10 kΩ and VDD = 5 V
VOUT = (10 × D/2N) – 5 V

Opto-Isolated Interface for Process Control Applications
The AD5303/AD5313/AD5323 has a versatile 3-wire serial
interface making it ideal for generating accurate voltages in
process control and industrial applications. Due to noise, safety
requirements or distance, it may be necessary to isolate the
AD5303/AD5313/AD5323 from the controller. This can easily
be achieved by using opto-isolators, which will provide isolation
in excess of 3 kV. The serial loading structure of the AD5303/
AD5313/AD5323 makes it ideally suited for use in opto-isolated
applications. Figure 40 shows an opto-isolated interface to the
AD5303/AD5313/AD5323 where DIN, SCLK and SYNC are
driven from opto-couplers. The power supply to the part 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 AD5303/AD5313/AD5323.

AD5303/AD5313/AD5323 as a Digitally Programmable
Window Detector
Daisy-Chain Mode
This mode is used for updating serially-connected or standalone devices on the rising edge of SYNC. For systems that
contain several DACs, or where the user wishes to read back
the DAC contents for diagnostic purposes, the SDO pin may be
used to daisy-chain several devices together and provide serial
readback.
A digitally programmable upper/lower limit detector using the
two DACs in the AD5303/AD5313/AD5323 is shown in Figure
42. The upper and lower limits for the test are loaded to DACs
A and B which, in turn, set the limits on the CMP04. If the
signal at the VIN input is not within the programmed window, a
LED will indicate the fail condition.

Coarse and Fine Adjustment Using the AD5303/AD5313/
AD5323
The DACs in the AD5303/AD5313/AD5323 can be paired
together to form a coarse and fine adjustment function, as
shown in Figure 43. DAC A is used to provide the coarse adjustment while DAC B provides the fine adjustment. Varying
the ratio of R1 and R2 will change the relative effect of the
coarse and fine adjustments. With the resistor values and external reference shown, the output amplifier has unity gain for the
DAC A output, so the output range is 0 V to 2.5 V – 1 LSB.
For DAC B the amplifier has a gain of 7.6 × 10–3, giving DAC B
a range equal to 19 mV.
By connecting DCEN (Daisy-Chain Enable) pin high, the
Daisy-Chain Mode is enabled. It is tied low in the case of
Stand-Alone Mode. In Daisy-Chain Mode the internal gating
on SCLK is disabled. The SCLK is continuously applied to the
input shift register when SYNC is low. If more than 16 clock
pulses are applied, the data ripples out of the shift register and
appears on the SDO line. This data is clocked out after the
falling edge of SCLK and is valid on the subsequent rising and
falling edges. By connecting this line to the DIN input on the
next DAC in the chain, a multiDAC interface is constructed.
Sixteen clock pulses are required for each DAC in the system.
Therefore, the total number of clock cycles must equal 16N
where N is the total number of devices in the chain. When the
serial transfer to all devices is complete, SYNC should be taken
high. This prevents any further data being clocked into the input
shift register.
A continuous SCLK source may be used if it can be arranged
that SYNC is held low for the correct number of clock cycles.
Alternatively, a burst clock containing the exact number of clock
cycles may be used and SYNC taken high some time later.
When the transfer to all input registers is complete, a common
LDAC signal updates all DAC registers and all analog outputs
are updated simultaneously.

Power Supply Bypassing and Grounding
In any circuit where accuracy is important, careful consideration
of the power supply and ground return layout helps to ensure
the rated performance. The printed circuit board on which the
AD5303/AD5313/AD5323 is mounted should be designed so
that the analog and digital sections are separated, and confined
to certain areas of the board. If the AD5303/AD5313/AD5323
is in a system where multiple devices require an AGND to
DGND connection, the connection should be made at one
point only. The star ground point should be established as close
as possible to the AD5303/AD5313/AD5323. The AD5303/
AD5313/AD5323 should have ample supply bypassing of 10 µF
in parallel with 0.1 µF on the supply located as close to the
package as possible, ideally right up against the device. The
10 µF capacitors are the tantalum bead type. The 0.1 µF
capacitor should have low Effective Series Resistance (ESR)
and Effective Series Inductance (ESI), like the common
ceramic types that provide a low impedance path to ground at
high frequencies to handle transient currents due to internal
logic switching.
REV. 0
The power supply lines of the AD5303/AD5313/AD5323 should
use as large a trace as possible to provide low impedance paths
and reduce the effects of glitches on the power supply line. Fast
switching signals such as clocks should be shielded with digital
ground to avoid radiating noise to other parts of the board, and
should never be run near the reference inputs. Avoid crossover
of digital and analog signals. Traces on opposite sides of the
board should run at right angles to each other. This reduces the
effects of feedthrough through the board. A microstrip technique is by far the best, but not always possible with a doublesided board. In this technique, the component side of the board
is dedicated to ground plane while signal traces are placed on
the solder side.
