The AD5755-1 is a quad, voltage and current output DAC,
which operates with a power supply range from -26v to +33v.
On chip dynamic power control minimizes package power
dissipation in current mode. This is achieved by regulating the
voltage on the output driver from between 7V-30V.
Each channel has a corresponding CHART pin so that HART
signals can be coupled onto the AD5755-1’s current output.
The part uses a versatile 3-wire serial interface that operates at
clock rates up to 30 MHz and that is compatible with standard
SPI®, QSPI™, MICROWIRE™, DSP and microcontroller
interface standards. The interface also features optional CRC-8
packet error checking as well as a watchdog timer that monitors
activity on the interface.

Preliminary Technical Data
THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD5755-1 is a quad, precision digital to current loop and
voltage output converter designed to meet the requirements of
industrial process control applications. It provides a high
precision, fully integrated, low cost single-chip solution for
generating current loop and unipolar/bipolar voltage outputs.
The current ranges available are; 0 to 20mA, 0 to 24mA and 4 to
20mA, the voltage ranges available are; 0 to 5V, ±5V, 0 to 10V
and ±10V, the current and voltage outputs are available on
separate pins and only one is active at any one time. The desired
output configuration is user selectable via the DAC Control
Register.
On chip dynamic power control minimizes package power
dissipation in current mode.
DAC ARCHITECTURE
The DAC core architecture of the AD5755-1 consists of two
matched DAC sections. A simplified circuit diagram is shown
in Figure 13. The 4 MSBs of the 16/12-bit data word are
decoded to drive 15 switches, E1 to E15. Each of these switches
connects 1 of 15 matched resistors to either ground or the
reference buffer output. The remaining 12/8 bits of the dataword drive switches S0 to S11 /S7 of a 12/8-bit voltage mode R2R ladder network.

The voltage output from the DAC core is either converted to a
current (see Figure 15) which is then mirrored to the supply rail
so that the application simply sees a current source output with
respect to ground or it is buffered and scaled to output a
software selectable unipolar or bipolar voltage range (See
diagram, Figure 14). The current and voltage are output on
separate pins and cannot be output simultaneously. A channels
current and voltage output pins may be tied together.

Voltage Output Amplifier
The voltage output amplifier is capable of generating both
unipolar and bipolar output voltages. It is capable of driving a
load of 1 kΩ in parallel with 2000 pF to AGND. The source and
sink capabilities of the output amplifier can be seen in Figure
TBD. The slew rate is 1 V/µs with a full-scale settling time of 10
µs.(10V step).
Driving Large Capacitive Loads
The voltage output amplifier is capable of driving capacative
loads of up to 1uF with the addition of a non-polarised
compensation capacitors on each channel. Care should be taken
to choose an appropriate value of compensation capacitor. This
capacitor, while allowing the AD5755-1 to drive higher cap
loads and reduce overshoot, will increase the settling time of the
part and therefore effect the bandwidth of the system. Without
the compensation capacitor, up to 20nF capacitive loads can be
driven. See pin list for information on connecting
compensation capacitors.

SCALING
VBOOST
The AD5755-1 can operate with either an external or internal
reference. The reference input has an input range of 4 V to 5 V,
5 V for specified performance. This input voltage is then buffered
before it is applied to the DAC.
POWER ON STATE OF AD5755-1
On initial power-up of the AD5755-1 the power-on-reset circuit
powers up in a state that is dependent on the POC (Power on
Control) pin.
If POC = 0 both the Vout/Iout channels will power up in Tri-state
mode.
If POC= 1 the Vout channel will Power up with 30k pull down to
Ground, and the IOUT channel will power up to tri-state.
Even though the output ranges are not enabled, the default output
range is 0-5V, and the Clear Code Register is loaded with all zeros.
This means if the user CLEARS the part after power-up the output
will be actively driven to zero volts. (If the channel has been
enabled for clear)

PROGRAMMING SEQUENCE TO WRITE/ENABLE
THE OUTPUT CORRECTLY
To correctly write to and set up the part from a power on
condition the sequence below should be followed. It is
recommended to perform a hardware or software reset after
initial power on.
Firstly, the DC-DC supply block needs to be configured. The
user should set the DC-DC switching frequency, max output
voltage allowed and the phase that the 4 DC-DC channels clock
at. Secondly the DAC Control Register should be configured on
a per channel basis. The output range is selected, and the DCDC block is enabled (DC-DC). Other control bits may be
configured at this point, however, the output enable bit
(OUTEN) and the INT_ENABLE bit should not be set. Next,
the user writes the required code to the DAC Data Register.
This will implement a full DAC calibration internally. Finally
the user writes to the DAC Control Register again to enable the
output (set the OUTEN bit). A flow chart of this sequence is
shown below.
CHANGING AND REPROGRAMMING THE RANGE
When changing between ranges the same sequence as above
should be used. It is recommended to set the range to its zero
point (can be mid-scale or zeroscale) prior to disabling the
output. As the DC-DC switching frequency, max voltage and
phase have already been selected, there is no need to reprogram
this. A flow chart of this sequence is shown below.
Channels Output is enabled
Step 1: Write to channels DAC Data Register,
Set the output to 0V (zero or midscale).
Step 2: Write to DAC Control Register. Disable
the output (OUTEN=0), and set the
new output range. Keep the DC-DC
enabled, do not select the
INT_Enable bit.
Power On
Step 3: Write value to the DAC Data Register.
Step 1: Perform a Software/Hardware Reset
Step 4: Write to DAC Control Register. Reload
sequence as in Step 2 above.This time
select the OUTEN bit to enable the
output.
Step 2: Write to DC-DC Control Register to
set DC-DC Clock Frequency, phase
and maximum voltage.
Figure 18. Steps for Changing the Output Range
Step 3: Write to DAC Control Register. Select
the DAC Channel and output Range.
Set the DC_DC bit and other control
bits as required. Do not select OUTEN
bit or the INT_ENABLE bit..
Step 4: Write to each/all DAC Data Registers.
Step 5: Write to DAC Control Register. Reload
sequence as in Step 3 above.This time
select the OUTEN bit to enable the
output.

GAIN REGISTER
The Gain Register stores the Gain Code (M) which is used in the DAC transfer function to calculated the overall DAC input code (see
formula below). The Gain Register is addressed by setting DREG bits to ‘0,1,0’. The DAC address bits select which DAC channel the gain
write is addressed to. It is possible to write the same gain code to all 4 DAC channels at the same time by setting the DREG bits to 011.
The AD5755-1 Gain Register is a 16/12 bit register (bits G15.. G0/G3) and allows the user to adjust the gain of each channel in steps of 1
LSB as shown in the Table below. The Gain Register coding is straight binary. In theory the gain can be tuned across the full range of the
output. In practice, the maximum recommended gain trim is about 50% of programmed range in order to maintain accuracy.

OFFSET REGISTER
The Offset Register is addressed by setting the DREG BITS to DREG2 =1 DREG1=0, DREG0=0. The DAC address bits select with which
DAC channel the offset write is addressed to. It is possible to write the same offset code to all 4 DAC channels at the same time by setting
the DREG bits to 101. The AD5755-1 offset code is 16/12 bit (bits OF15.. OF0/OF3) and allows the user to adjust the offset of each
channel by −32768/8192 LSBs to +32767/8191 LSBs in steps of 1 LSB as shown in the Table below.. The Offset Register coding is straight
binary. The default code in the Offset Register is 0x8000/0x800. This will result in zero offset programmed to the output.

CLEAR CODE REGISTER
There is a per channel Clear Code Register. The Clear Code Register is 16 bits wide and is addressed by setting the DREG bits to’1,1,0’. It
is also possible, via software, to enable/disable on a per channel basis which channels will be cleared when the CLEAR pin is activated.
The default clear code is all 0’s. See Features section for more information.

SOFTWARE REGISTER
The Software Register has three functions. It allows the user to perform a software reset to the part. It can be used to set bit D11 in the
Status Register. Lastly it is also used as part of the watchdog feature to ensure that the SPI interface connections are working properly. To
ensure all the datapath lines are working properly (i.e. SDI/SCLK/SYNC), the user must write 0x195 to the Software Register within the
timeout period. If this command is not received within the timeout period, the ALERT pin will signal a fault condition. Note. This is only
required when the Watchdog Timer function is enabled.

To read back the Gain Register of Device #1 Channel A on the AD5755-1, the following sequence should be implemented:
1. Write 0xA80000 to the AD5755-1 input register. This configures the AD5755-1 device address #1 for read mode with the Gain Register
of channel A selected.. Note that all the data bits, D15 to D0, are don’t care.
2.
Follow this with any read/write command. During this command, the data from the selected Gain Register is clocked out on the SDO
line.

AD5755-1
FEATURES
OUTPUT FAULT
The AD5755-1 is equipped with a FAULT pin, this is an active
low open-drain output allowing several AD5755-1 devices to be
connected together to one pull-up resistor for global fault
detection. The FAULT pin is forced active by any one of the
following fault scenarios;
1)
2)
3)
4)
The Voltage at IOUT attempts to rise above the
compliance range, due to an open-loop circuit or
insufficient power supply voltage. The internal
circuitry that develops the fault output avoids using a
comparator with “window limits” since this would
require an actual output error before the FAULT
output becomes active. Instead, the signal is generated
when the internal amplifier in the output stage has less
than approximately one volt of remaining drive
capability. Thus the FAULT output activates slightly
before the compliance limit is reached. Since the
comparison is made within the feedback loop of the
output amplifier, the output accuracy is maintained by
its open-loop gain and an output error does not occur
before the FAULT output becomes active.
A short is detected on the voltage output pin. Short
circuit current limited to 15ma or 8ma, this is
programmable by the user.
An interface error is detected due to a PEC failure. See
Packet Error Checking section.
If the core temperature of the AD5755-1 exceeds
approx. 150°C.
The OPEN CCT and OVER TEMP bits of the Status Register
are used in conjunction with the FAULT output to inform the
user which one of the fault conditions caused the FAULT output
to be activated.
VOLTAGE OUTPUT SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION
Under normal operation the voltage output will sink/source up
to 10mA and maintain specified operation. The maximum
current that the voltage output will deliver is 15mA, this is the
short circuit current. This short circuit current is programmable
by the user and can be set to 15mA or 8mA. If a short circuit is
detected the FAULT will go low and the relevant SHORT CCT
bit in the Status register will be set.
DIGITAL OFFSET AND GAIN CONTROL
Each DAC channel has a gain (M) and offset (C) register, which
allow trimming out of the gain and offset errors of the entire
signal chain. Data from the DAC Data Register is operated on
by a digital multiplier and adder controlled by the contents of
the M and C registers. The calibrated DAC data is then stored
in the DAC2 register.
INPUT
REGISTER
DAC
REGISTER
DAC
M
REGISTER
C
REGISTER
Figure 19. Digital Offset and Gain control
Although this diagram indicates a multiplier and adder for each
channel, there is only one multiplier and one adder in the device,
and they are shared among all 4 channels. This has implications
for the update speed when several channels are updated at once.
Each time data is written to the M or C register the output is not
automatically updated. Rather, the next write to the DAC
channel will use these M&C values to perform a new calibration
and automatically update the channel.
Data output from the DAC2 register is routed to the final DAC
register by a multiplexer. Both the Gain Register and the Offset
Register have 16 bits of resolution. The correct method to
calibrate the gain/offset is firstly to calibrate out the gain and
then calibrate the offset.
The value (in decimal) that is written to the DAC register can
be calculated by:
Code DAC Re gister = D ×
( M + 1)
+ C − 215
16
2
where:
D is the code loaded to the DAC channels input register.
M is the code in Gain Register − default code = 216 – 1
C is the code in Offset Register − default code = 215
STATUS READBACK DURING WRITE
The AD5755-1 has the ability to read back the Status Register
contents during every write sequence. This feature is enabled
via the STATREAD bit in the Main Control Register. This
allows the user to continuously monitor the Status Register and
act quickly in the case of a fault.
When Status Readback During Write is enabled the contents of
the 16bit Status register (See Table 31) is outputted on the SDO
pin as indicated in Figure 4.
The AD5755-1 will power up with this feature disabled. When
this is enabled the normal readback feature is not available,
except of the status register. To readback any other register set
STATREAD low first before following the readback sequence.
STATREAD may be set high again after the register read.
Rev. PrD | Page 27 of 34
AD5755-1
Preliminary Technical Data
ASYNCHRONOUS CLEAR
CLEAR is an active high edge sensitive input that allows the
output to be cleared to a pre programmed 16 bit code. This code
is user programmable via a per-channel 16 bit Clear Code
Register.
In order for a channel to clear, that channel must be enabled to
be cleared via the CLR_EN bit in the channels DAC Control
Register. If the channel is not enabled to be cleared then the
output will remain in its current state independent of the
CLEAR pin level.
When the CLEAR signal is returned low, the relevant outputs
remains cleared until a new value is programmed.
PACKET ERROR CHECKING
To verify that data has been received correctly in noisy
environments, the AD5755-1 offers the option of packet error
checking based on an 8-bit (CRC-8) cyclic redundancy check.
The device controlling the AD5755-1 should generate an 8frame check sequence using the polynomial
C ( x) = x8 + x2 + x1 + 1
This is added to the end of the data word, and 32 bits are sent to
the AD5755-1 before taking SYNC high. If the AD5755-1 sees a
32-bit frame, it will perform the error check when SYNC goes
high. If the check is valid, then the data will be written to the
selected register. If the error check fails, the FAULT pin will go
low and the PEC ERROR bit in the Status Register will be set.
After reading the Status Register, FAULT will return high
(assuming there are no other faults) and the PEC ERROR bit
will be cleared automatically.
The PEC can be used for both transmit and receive of data
packets. If Status Readback During Write is enabled, the ‘PEC’
values returned during the Status Readback During Write
should be ignored. All other PEC values will be valid though
and the user can still use the normal readback operation to
monitor Status Register activity.with PEC.
WATCHDOG TIMER
If enabled, an on chip watchdog timer will generate an alert
signal if 0x195 has not been written to the Software Register
within the programmed timeout period. This feature is useful to
ensure communication has not been lost between the MCU and
the AD5755-1 and that these datapath lines are working
properly (i.e. SDI/SCLK/SYNC). If 0x195 is not received by the
Software Register within the timeout period, the ALERT pin
will signal a fault condition. The ALERT signal is active high
and can be connected directly to the CLEAR pin to enable a
CLEAR in the event that data communications are lost from the
MCU.
The watchdog timer is enabled and the timeout period
(50,100,150 or 200ms) set in the control register (See Table 19).
OUTPUT ALERT
The AD5755-1 is equipped with a ALERT pin, this is An active
high CMOS output. The AD5755-1 has an internal watchdog
timer. If enabled, it will monitor SPI communications. If 0x195
is not received by the Software Register within the timeout
period, the ALERT pin will go active.
INTERNAL REFERENCE
The AD5755-1 contains an integrated +5V voltage reference
with initial accuracy of ±2mV max and a temperature drift
coefficient of ±5 ppm max. The reference voltage is buffered
and externally available for use elsewhere within the system.
EXTERNAL CURRENT SETTING RESISTOR
Referring toFigure 15, R1 is an internal sense resistor as part of
the voltage to current conversion circuitry. The stability of the
output current value over temperature is dependent on the
stability of the value of R1. As a method of improving the
stability of the output current over temperature an external
15kΩ low drift resistor can be connected to the RSET pin of the
AD5755-1 to be used instead of the internal resistor R1. The
external resistor is selected via the DAC Control register. See
Table 21.
HART
The AD5755-1 has 4 CHART pins, one corresponding to each
output channels. A HART signal can be coupled into these pins.
The HART signal will appear on the corresponding current
output, if the output is enables. Table 32 below shows the
recommended input voltages for the HART signal at the
CHART pin. If these voltages are used the current output
should meet the HART amplitude specifications. Figure 20 is
the recommended circuit for attenuating and coupling in the
HART signal.

Preliminary Technical Data
AD5755-1
Digitally controlling the slew rate of the output is necessary to
meet the analog rate of change requirements for HART.
Table 34. Slew_Rate Step Size Options
SR_STEP
SLEW RATE CONTROL
The Slew Rate Control feature of the AD5755-1 allows the user
to control the rate at which the output value changes. This
feature is available on both the current and voltage outputs.
With the slew rate control feature disabled the output value will
change at a rate limited by the output drive circuitry and the
attached load. If the user wishes to reduce the slew rate this can
be achieved by enabling the slew rate control feature. With the
feature enabled via the SREN bit of the Slew Rate Control
Register, (See Table 27) the output, instead of slewing directly
between two values, will step digitally at a rate defined by two
parameters accessible via the Slew Rate Control Register as
shown in Table 27. The parameters are SR_CLOCK and
SR_STEP. SR_CLOCK defines the rate at which the digital slew
will be updated, e.g. if the selected update rate is 8KHz the
output will update every 125µs, in conjunction with this the
SR_STEP defines by how much the output value will change at
each update. Together both parameters define the rate of change
of the output value. Table 33 and Table 34 outline the range of
values for both the SR_CLOCK and SR_STEP parameters.

The following equation describes the slew rate as a function of
the step size, the update clock frequency and the LSB size.
Slew Time =
Output Change
Step Size × Update Clock Frequency × LSB Size
Where:
Slew T ime is expressed in seconds
Output Change is expressed in Amps for I OUT or V olts for V OUT
W hen the slew rate control feature is enabled, all output
changes will change at the programmed slew rate, for example
if the CLEAR pin is asserted the output will slew to the clear
value at the programmed slew rate (assuming that Clear
channel is enabled to be cleared). T he update clock
frequency for any given value will be the same for all output
ranges, the step size however will vary across output ranges for
a given value of step size as the LSB size will be different for
each output range.
POWER DISSIPATION CONTROL
The AD5755-1 contains integrated dynamic power control
using a DC-DC boost circuiot allowing reductions in power
consumption from standard designs when using the part in
current output mode.
In standard current input module designs the load resistor
values can range from typically 50 ohm to 750 ohm. Output
module systems must source enough voltage to meet the
compliance voltage requirement across the full range of load
resistor values. For example, in a 4-20ma loop when driving
20ma a compliance voltage of >15V is required. When driving
20ma into a 50 ohm load only 1V compliance is required.
The AD5755-1 circuitry senses the output voltage and regulates
this voltage to meet compliance requirements plus a small
headroom voltage.
DC-DC CONVERTERS
The AD5755-1 contains 4 independent DCDC converters.
These are used to provide dynamic control of the Vboost supply
voltage for each channel (See Figure 15). Figure 21 below shows
the discreet components needed for the DCDC circuitry and

peak current without saturating at the maximum ambient
temperature.
If an alternative Inductor/Switching frequency is preferred then
one must ensure that the DCDC continues to operates in DCM
mode and that the inductor current is less than 0.8A.

The on-board DC-DC converters use a constant frequency,
peak current mode control scheme to step-up an AVcc input in
the range 2.7 to 5.5v to drive the AD5755-1 output channel.
These are designed to operate in discontinuous conduction
mode (DCM) with a duty cycle < 85%. Discontinuous
conduction mode refers to a mode of operation where the
inductor current goes to zero for an appreciable % of the
switching cycle. The DCDC converters are non synchronous i.e.
they require an external schottky diode.
DC-DC Output Voltage
When a channel current output is enabled the converter
regulates the Vboost supply to 7.5V or (Iout*Rload+2V),
whichever is greater. The maximum Vboost voltage is set in the
DC-DC Control Register (25, 27.3, 28.6 or 30V. See Table 26).
In voltage output mode, or in current output mode with the
output disabled, the converter regulates the Vboost supply to +15v
(±8%).
Within a channel the Vout & Iout stages share a common Vboost
supply so that the outputs of the Iout & Vout stages can be tied
together.
DC-DC On-Board Switch
The AD5755-1 contains a 0.5ohm internal switch . The switch
current is monitored on a pulse by pulse basis & is limited to
0.8A peak current.
DC-DC Switching Frequency and Phase
The AD5755-1 DCDC switching frequency can be selected
from the DCDC Control Register to be 250Khz, 400Khz,
649kHz or 812kHz. The phasing of the channels can also be
adjusted so that the DCDCs can clock on different edges (See
Table 26). For typical applications a 250Khz frequency is
recommended. At light loads (low output current & small load
resistor) the DCDC enters a pulse skipping mode to minimize
switching power dissipation.
DC-DC Inductor Selection
For typical 4-20mA applications a 10uH inductor combined
with a switching frequency of 250Khz will allow up to 24mA to
be driven into a load resistance of up to 1kΩ with an AVcc
supply from 2.7 to 5.5v. The inductor must be able to handle the

η = efficiency (Assume = 0.8)
DC-DC External schottky selection
The AD5755-1 requires an external schottky for correct
operation. Ensure the schottky is rated to handle the the
maximum reverse breakdown expected in operation & that the
rectifier maximum junction temperature is not exceeded. The
diode average current = Iload current.
DC-DC Compensation Capacitors
As the DCDC operates in DCM the uncompensated transfer
function is essentially a single pole transfer function. The pole
frequency is determined by Cout, Vin, Vout & Iload. The
AD5755-1 uses an external capacitor in conjunction with an
internal 150k resistor to compensate the regulator loop. For
typical 4-20mA applications connect a 10nF capacitor from
each of the COMPDCDC_A/_B/_C/_D pins to GND.
DC-DC Input and Output Capacitor Selection
The output capacitor effects ripple voltage of the DCDC
converter & also indirectly limits the maximum slew rate at
which the channel output current can rise. The ripple voltage is
caused by a combination of the capacitance & ESR (equivalent
series resistance) of the capacitor. For the AD5755-1 a ceramic
capacitor of 4.7µF is recommended for typical applications.
Larger capacitors or paralled capacitors will improve the ripple
at the expense of reduced slew rate.
The input capacitor will provide much of the dynamic current
required for the DCDC converter & should also be a low ESR
component. For the AD5755-1 a ceramic capacitor of 10µF is
recommended for typical applications. Ceramic capacitors must
be chosen carefully as they can exhibit a large sensitivity to DC
bias voltages & temperature. X5R or X7R dielectrics are
preferred as these capacitors remain stable over wider operating
voltage & temperature ranges.

Preliminary Technical Data
AD5755-1
Iout Slew Rate when using the DC-DC
When the AD5755-1 is configured in Iout mode & a step
increase in output current is programmed then the DCDC
converter must increase its output voltage so that Vboost ≈
Iout*Rload+2v. This requires that the output capacitor of the
DCDC circuit must also be charge to the new voltage. The
amount of power required to do this is 0.5*C*(Vnew-Vold).

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
PRECISION VOLTAGE REFERENCE SELECTION
DRIVING INDUCTIVE LOADS
To achieve the optimum performance from the AD5755-1 over
its full operating temperature range, a precision voltage
reference must be used. Thought should be given to the
selection of a precision voltage reference. The voltage applied to
the reference inpus is used to provide a buffered reference for
the DAC cores. Therefore, any error in the voltage reference is
reflected in the outputs of the device.
When driving inductive or poorly defined loads connect a
0.01µF capacitor between IOUT and GND. This will ensure
stability with loads beyond 50mH. There is no maximum
capacitance limit. The capacitive component of the load may
cause slower settling, though this may be masked by the settling
time of the AD5755-1.
There are four possible sources of error to consider when
choosing a voltage reference for high accuracy applications:
initial accuracy, temperature coefficient of the output voltage,
long term drift, and output voltage noise.
Initial accuracy error on the output voltage of an external reference could lead to a full-scale error in the DAC. Therefore, to
minimize these errors, a reference with low initial accuracy
error specification is preferred. Choosing a reference with an
output trim adjustment, such as the ADR425, allows a system
designer to trim system errors out by setting the reference
voltage to a voltage other than the nominal. The trim adjustment can also be used at temperature to trim out any error.
TRANSIENT VOLTAGE PROTECTION
The AD5755-1 contains ESD protection diodes which prevent
damage from normal handling. The industrial control
environment can, however, subject I/O circuits to much higher
transients. In order to protect the AD5755-1 from excessively
high voltag etransients , external power diodes and a surge
current limiting resistor may be required, as shown in Figure
22. The constraint on the resistor value is that during normal
operation the output level at IOUT must remain within its
voltage compliance limit of AVDD – 2.5V and the two protection
diodes and resistor must have appropriate power ratings.
AVDD
Long-term drift is a measure of how much the reference output
voltage drifts over time. A reference with a tight long-term drift
specification ensures that the overall solution remains relatively
stable over its entire lifetime.
The temperature coefficient of a reference’s output voltage
affects INL, DNL, and TUE. A reference with a tight
temperature coefficient specification should be chosen to
reduce the dependence of the DAC output voltage on ambient
conditions.
In high accuracy applications, which have a relatively low noise
budget, reference output voltage noise needs to be considered.
Choosing a reference with as low an output noise voltage as
practical for the system resolution required is important.
Precision voltage references such as the ADR435 (XFET design)
produce low output noise in the 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz region.
However, as the circuit bandwidth increases, filtering the output
of the reference may be required to minimize the output noise.

MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING
Microprocessor interfacing to the AD5755-1 is via a serial bus
that uses a protocol compatible with microcontrollers and DSP
processors. The communications channel is a 3-wire minimum
interface consisting of a clock signal, a data signal, and a latch
signal. The AD5755-1 require a 24-bit data-word with data
valid on the falling edge of SCLK.
The DAC output update is initiated on either the rising edge of
LDAC or, if LDAC is held low, on the rising edge of SYNC. The
contents of the registers can be read using the readback
function.

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
AD5755-1 is mounted should be designed so that the analog
and digital sections are separated and confined to certain areas of
the board. If the AD5755-1 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 device.

Preliminary Technical Data
AD5755-1
The power supply lines of the AD5755-1 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. A ground line routed
between the SDIN and SCLK lines helps reduce crosstalk
between them (not required on a multilayer board that has a
separate ground plane, but separating the lines helps). It is
essential to minimize noise on the REFIN line because it
couples through to the DAC output.
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 feed through the board. A
microstrip technique is by far the best, but not always possible
with a double-sided board. In this technique, the component
side of the board is dedicated to ground plane, while signal
traces are placed on the solder side.
GALVANICALLY ISOLATED 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 might occur.
Isocouplers provide voltage isolation in excess of 2.5 kV. The
serial loading structure of the AD5755-1 makes it ideal for
isolated interfaces, because the number of interface lines is kept
to a minimum. Figure 23 shows a 4-channel isolated interface
to the AD5755-1 using an ADuM1400. For more information,

The AD5755-1 should have ample supply bypassing of 10 µF in
parallel with 0.1 µF on each 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 low
effective series inductance (ESI) such as the common ceramic
types, which provide a low impedance path to ground at high
frequencies to handle transient currents due to internal logic
switching.
