Small 16-lead TSSOP
The AD5066 contains 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 powerdown mode.
The outputs of all DACs can be updated simultaneously using
the hardware LDAC function, with the added functionality of
user software selectable DAC channels to update simultaneously.
There is also an asynchronous CLR that clears all DACs to a
software-selectable code—0 V, midscale, or full scale.

SCLK
Load DAC. Logic input. This is used to update the DAC register and, consequently, the analog outputs.
When tied permanently low, the addressed DAC register is updated on the falling edge of the 32nd
clock. If LDAC is held high during the write cycle, the addressed DAC input shift register is updated but
the output is held off until the falling edge of LDAC. In this mode, all analog outputs can be updated
simultaneously on the falling edge of LDAC.
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 shift 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. The AD5066 can be operated from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. Decouple the supply with a 10 µF
capacitor in parallel with a 0.1 µF capacitor to GND.
External Reference Voltage Input for DAC B.
External Reference Voltage Input for DAC A.
Unbuffered Analog Output Voltage from DAC A.
Unbuffered Analog Output Voltage from DAC C.
Power-On Reset Pin. Tying this pin to GND powers the DAC outputs to zero scale on power-up. Tying
this pin to VDD powers the DAC outputs to midscale.
External Reference Voltage Input for DAC C.
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 CLR code register—zero, midscale, or full scale. Default setting clears the output to 0 V.
External Reference Voltage Input for DAC D.
Unbuffered Analog Output Voltage from DAC D.
Unbuffered Analog Output Voltage from DAC B.
Ground Reference Point for All Circuitry on the Part.
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 shift register on the falling edge of the serial clock input.
Data can be transferred at rates of up to 50 MHz.

TERMINOLOGY
Relative Accuracy or Integral Nonlinearity (INL)
Relative accuracy or INL is a measure of the maximum
deviation in LSBs from a straight line passing through the
endpoints of the DAC transfer function. Figure 4, Figure 5,
and Figure 6 show typical INL vs. code plots.
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)
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. Figure 7, Figure 8, and Figure 9 show typical DNL vs.
code plots.
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.
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.
Zero-Code Error
Zero-code error is a measure of the output error when zero
code (0x0000) is loaded into the DAC register. Ideally, the
output should be 0 V. The zero-code error is always positive in
the AD5066, because the output of the DAC cannot go below
0 V. Zero-code error is expressed in millivolts. Figure 17 shows
a typical zero-code error vs. supply voltage plot.
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 nanovolts per second and
measured with one simultaneous DIN and SCLK pulse loaded
to the DAC.
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.
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
nanovolts per second.
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.
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 microvolts
per degrees Celsius.
Full-Scale Error
Full-scale error is a measure of the output error when a fullscale code (0xFFFF) is loaded into the DAC register. Ideally, the
output should be VREF − 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 nanovolts
per second and is measured when the digital input code is
changed by 1 LSB at the major carry transition (0x7FFF to
0x8000). See Figure 28.
DC Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR)
DC PSRR indicates how the output of the DAC is affected by
changes in the supply voltage. DC 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.
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 nanovolts per second.
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 nanovolts per second.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
THD 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.

AD5066
THEORY OF OPERATION
DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG CONVERTER
SERIAL INTERFACE
The AD5066 is a quad 16-bit, serial input, voltage output
nanoDAC. The part operates from supply voltages of 2.7 V to
5.5 V. Data is written to the AD5066 in a 32-bit word format via
a 3-wire serial interface. The AD5066 incorporates a power-on
reset circuit to ensure 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 AD5066 has a 3-wire serial interface (SYNC, SCLK, and
DIN) that is compatible with SPI, QSPI, MICROWIRE, and
most DSP interface standards. See Figure 2 for a timing diagram
of a typical write sequence.
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 
where:
D is the decimal equivalent of the binary code that is loaded to
the DAC register (0 to 65,535).
N is the DAC resolution.
DAC ARCHITECTURE
The DAC architecture of the AD5066 consists of two matched
DAC sections. A simplified circuit diagram is shown in
Figure 39. 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 the VREF buffer
output. The remaining 12 bits of the data word drive the S0 to
S11 switches of a 12-bit voltage mode R-2R ladder network.

INPUT SHIFT REGISTER
The input shift register is 32 bits wide (see Figure 40). The first
four bits are don’t cares. The next four bits are the command
bits, C3 to C0 (see Table 7), followed by the 4-bit DAC address
bits, A3 to A0 (see Table 8), and finally the bit data-word. The
data-word comprises of a 16-bit input code followed by four don’t
care bits (see Figure 40). These data bits are transferred to the
Input register on the 32nd falling edge of SCLK. Commands can
be executed on individually selected DAC channels or on all DACs.

REFERENCE BUFFER
The AD5066 operates with an external reference. Each of the
four on-board DACs has a dedicated voltage reference pin that
is buffered. The reference input pin has an input range of 2 V
to VDD − 0.4 V. This input voltage is then used to provide a
buffered reference for the DAC core.

AD5066
When Bit DB9 and Bit DB8 in the control register are set to 0,
the part is configured in normal mode with its normal power
consumption of 2.5 mA at 5 V. However, for the three powerdown modes, the supply current falls to 0.4 µA if all the channels
are powered down. Not only does the supply current fall, but
the output pin is also internally switched from the output of the
DAC 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 open-circuited (three-state). The
output stage is illustrated in Figure 41.
DAC
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 shift 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 42).
Power-Down Modes
The AD5066 can be configured through software, in one of
four different modes: normal mode (default) and three separate
power-down modes (see Table 9). Any or all DACs can be
powered down. Command 0100 is reserved for the powerdown function (see Table 7). These power-down modes are
software-programmable by setting two bits, Bit DB9 and
Bit DB8, in the input shift register. Table 9 shows how the state
of the bits corresponds to the mode of operation of the device.
Any or all DACs (DAC A to DAC D) can be powered down to
the selected mode by setting the corresponding four bits (DB3,
DB2, DB1, DB0) to 1. See Table 10 for the contents of the input
shift register during power-down/power-up operation.

The write sequence begins by bringing the SYNC line low.
Bringing the SYNC line low enables the DIN and SCLK input
buffers. 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 AD5066 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 the input register contents (see Table 8) and/or a
change in the mode of operation. At this stage, the SYNC line
can be kept low or be brought high. In either case, it must be
brought high for a minimum of 2 μs (single-channel update, see
the t8 parameter in Table 4) before the next write sequence so
that a falling edge of SYNC can initiate the next write sequence.
Idle SYNC high between write sequences for even lower power
operation of the part.
Figure 41. Output Stage During Power-Down Mode
The bias generator, DAC core, and other associated linear
circuitry are shut down when all channels are powered down.
However, the contents of the DAC register are unaffected when
in power-down mode. The time to exit power-down mode is
typically 2.9 µs (see Figure 27).

POWER-ON RESET
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. Command 0111 is reserved for this reset function
(see Table 7). Any events on LDAC or CLR during power-on
reset are ignored.
The AD5066 contains a power-on reset circuit that controls
the output voltage during power-up. By connecting the POR
pin low, the AD5066 output powers up to 0 V; by connecting
the POR pin high, the AD5066 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

CLEAR CODE REGISTER
The AD5066 has 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 user-configurable
CLR register and sets the analog outputs accordingly (see
Table 11). 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 control register (see Table 11).
The default setting clears the outputs to 0 V. Command 0101 is
reserved for loading the clear code register (see Table 7).

No operation
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 CLR pulse activation time (the falling edge of CLR to when
the output starts to change) is typically 10.6 µs. See Table 13 for
contents of the input shift register during the loading clear code
register operation.
LDAC FUNCTION
Hardware LDAC Pin
Synchronous LDAC: LDAC is held permanently low. After new
data is read, the DAC registers are updated on the falling edge
of the 32nd SCLK pulse, provided LDAC is held low.
Asynchronous LDAC: LDAC is held high then pulsed low to
update. The outputs are not updated at the same time that the
input registers are written to. When LDAC is pulsed low, the
DAC registers are updated with the contents of the input
registers.
Command 0001, 0010 and 0011 (see Table 7) update the DAC
Register/Registers, regardless of the level of the LDAC pin
Software LDAC Function
Writing to the DAC using Command 0110 loads the 4-bit
LDAC register (DB3 to DB0). The default for each channel is
0; that is, the LDAC pin works normally. Setting the bits to 1
updates the DAC channel regardless of the state of the hardware
LDAC pin, so that it effectively sees the hardware LDAC pin
as being tied low (see Table 12 for the LDAC register mode of
operation.) This flexibility is useful in applications where the
user wants to simultaneously update select channels while the
remainder of the channels are synchronously updating.

The outputs of all DACs can be updated simultaneously using
the hardware LDAC pin, as shown in Figure 2. There are two
methods of using the hardware LDAC pin: synchronously

The LDAC register gives the user extra flexibility and control

bits (DB0 to DB3) to 0 for a DAC channel means that this
channel’s update is controlled by the hardware LDAC pin.

POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING AND GROUNDING
AD5066 to 68HC11/68L11 Interface
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 AD5066 should
have separate analog and digital sections. If the AD5066 is in a
system where other devices require an AGND-to-DGND connection, make the connection at one point only and as close as
possible to the AD5066.
Figure 44 shows a serial interface between the AD5066 and the
68HC11/68L11 microcontroller. SCK of the 68HC11/68L11
drives the SCLK of the AD5066, and the MOSI output drives
DIN of the DAC. A port line (PC7) drives the SYNC signal.
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 the 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.

The setup conditions for correct operation of this interface are
as follows: The 68HC11/68L11 is configured with its CPOL bit
as 0, and the 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 AD5066, 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 43 shows a serial interface between the AD5066 and
the Blackfin ADSP-BF53x microprocessor. The ADSP-BF53x
processor family incorporates two dual-channel synchronous
serial ports, SPORT1 and SPORT0, for serial and multiprocessor communications. Using SPORT0 to connect to the
AD5066, the setup for the interface is as follows: DT0PRI
drives the DIN pin of the AD5066, TSCLK0 drives the SCLK
of the parts, and TFS0 drives SYNC.

Bypass the power supply to the AD5066 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 has low effective
series resistance and low effective series inductance, 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.

Figure 45 shows a serial interface between the AD5066 and the
80C51/80L51 microcontroller. The setup for the interface is as
follows: TxD of the 80C51/80L51 drives SCLK of the AD5066,
RxD drives DIN on the AD5066, and a bit-programmable pin on
the port (P3.3) drives the SYNC signal. When data is to be
transmitted to the AD5066, P3.3 is taken low. The 80C51/80L51
transmit 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 left low after the first eight bits are transmitted, and a second,
third, and fourth write cycle is initiated to transmit the second,
third, and fourth byte of data. P3.3 is taken high following the
completion of this cycle. The 80C51/80L51 output the serial
data in a format that has the LSB first. The AD5066 must
receive data with the MSB first. The 80C51/80L51 transmit
routine should take this into account.

Because the supply current required by the AD5066 is extremely
low, an alternative option is to use a voltage reference to supply
the required voltage to the parts (see Figure 47). 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 AD5066. If the low dropout REF195 is used, it
must supply 2.5 mA of current to the AD5066 with no load on
the output of the DAC.

BIPOLAR OPERATION
The AD5066 has been designed for single-supply operation,
but a bipolar output range is also possible using the circuit in
Figure 48. The circuit gives an output voltage range of ±5 V.
Rail-to-rail operation at the amplifier output is achieved
using an AD8638 or AD8639 the output amplifier.
The output voltage for any input code can be calculated as
follows:
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
common-mode voltages that can occur in the area where
the DAC is functioning. iCoupler® provides isolation in excess
of 2.5 kV. The AD5066 uses a 3-wire serial logic interface, so
the ADuM1300 three-channel digital isolator provides the
required isolation (see Figure 49). The power supply to the
part also needs to be isolated, which 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 AD5066.
