The AD5757/AD5737 is a quad, current output DAC, which
operates with a power supply of up 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 AD5757/AD5737’s current
output.
APPLICATIONS
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.

Active Low Input. This is the frame synchronization signal for the serial interface. While SYNC is low, data is
transferred in on the falling edge of SCLK.
Serial Clock Input. Data is clocked into the shift register on the rising edge of SCLK. This operates at clock
speeds of up to 30 MHz.
Serial Data Input. Data must be valid on the falling edge of SCLK.
Serial Data Output. Used to clock data from the serial register in readback mode. See Figure 3 and Figure 4.
Digital Supply Pin. Voltage ranges from 2.7 V to 5.5 V.
Digital Ground Pin.
Load DAC. Active Low Input. This is used to update the DAC registers and consequently the analog
outputs. When tied permanently low the addressed DAC register is updated on the rising edge of SYNC. If
LDAC is held high during the write cycle the DAC input register is updated but the output update only
takes place at the falling edge of LDAC. See Figure 2. Using this mode all analog outputs can be updated
simultaneously. The LDAC pin must not be left unconnected.
Active High, Edge Sensitive Input. Asserting this pin sets the Output Current/Voltage to the preprogrammed CLEAR CODE. Only channels enabled to be cleared will be cleared. See features section for

Preliminary Technical Data
THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD5757/AD5737 is a quad, precision digital to current
loop 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 outputs. The current ranges available are; 0 to 20mA, 0 to
24mA and 4 to 20mA. The desired output configuration is user
selectable via the DAC Control Register.
to 5 V, 5 V for specified performance. This input voltage is then
buffered before it is applied to the DAC.
On chip dynamic power control minimizes package power
dissipation in current mode.
The AD5757/AD5737 is controlled over a versatile 3-wire serial
interface that operates at clock rates of up to 30 MHz and is
compatible with SPI®, QSPI™, MICROWIRE™, and DSP
standards. Data coding is always straight binary.
DAC ARCHITECTURE
The DAC core architecture of the AD5757/AD5737 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.

Input Shift Register
The input shift register is 24 bits wide. Data is loaded into the

clock input, SCLK. Data is clocked in on the falling edge of
SCLK.
There are two ways in which the DAC outputs can be updated
as outlined below.

the DAC Data Register. The addressed DAC output is updated
on the rising edge of SYNC.
Figure 13. DAC Ladder Structure
The voltage output from the DAC core is converted to a current
(see Figure 14) which is then mirrored to the supply rail so that
the application simply sees a current source output with respect
to ground.

Simultaneous Updating of All DACs
In this mode, LDAC is held high while data is being clocked
into the DAC Data Register. Only the first write to each
channels data register will be valid after LDAC is brought high.
Any subsequent writes while LDAC is still held high will be
ignored. All the DAC outputs are updated by taking LDAC low
any time after SYNC has been taken high.

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 17. 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 AD5757/AD5737 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. For the AD5737, the last 4 bits should be set to 1. 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 AD5757/AD5737 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. For the AD5737, the last 4 bits are
ignored and should be set to zero. 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.

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.

Read Back Example
To read back the Gain Register of Device #1 Channel A on the AD5757, the following sequence should be implemented:
1. Write 0xA80000 to the AD5757 input register. This configures the AD5757 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.

Preliminary Technical Data
AD5757/AD5737
FEATURES
OUTPUT FAULT
The AD5757/AD5737 is equipped with a FAULT pin, this is an
active low open-drain output allowing several AD5757/AD5737
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)
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.
2)
An interface error is detected due to a PEC failure. See
Packet Error Checking section.
3)
If the core temperature of the AD5757/AD5737
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.
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

REGISTER
Figure 18. 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
216
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 AD5757/AD5737 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 36) is outputted on the SDO
pin as indicated in Figure 4.
The AD5757/AD5737 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.
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.
Rev. PrD | Page 25 of 31
AD5757/AD5737
Preliminary Technical Data
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 AD5757/AD5737 offers the option of packet
error checking based on an 8-bit (CRC-8) cyclic redundancy
check. The device controlling the AD5757/AD5737 should
generate an 8-frame 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 AD5757/AD5737 before taking SYNC high. If the
AD5757/AD5737 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 AD5757/AD5737 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 24).
OUTPUT ALERT
The AD5757/AD5737 is equipped with a ALERT pin, this is An
active high CMOS output. The AD5757/AD5737 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 AD5757/AD5737 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 14, 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
AD5757/AD5737 to be used instead of the internal resistor R1.
The external resistor is selected via the DAC Control register.
See Table 26.
HART
The AD5757/AD5737 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 enabled. Table 37 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 19 is
the recommended circuit for attenuating and coupling in the
HART signal.

A minimum capacitance of C1+C2 will be required to ensure
that the 1.2kHz and 2.2kHz “HART frequencies” are not
significantly attenuated at the output. This will be in the order
of 10’s of nF’s.
Digitally controlling the slew rate of the output is necessary to
meet the analog rate of change requirements for HART.
SLEW RATE CONTROL
The Slew Rate Control feature of the AD5757/AD5737 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
Rev. PrD | Page 26 of 31
Preliminary Technical Data
AD5757/AD5737
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 32) 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 32. 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 38 and Table 39 outline the range of
values for both the SR_CLOCK and SR_STEP parameters.

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 AD5757/AD5737 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 AD5757/AD5737 circuitry senses the output voltage and
regulates this voltage to meet compliance requirements plus a
small headroom voltage.

The AD5757/AD5737 contains 4 independent DCDC
converters. These are used to provide dynamic control of the
Vboost supply voltage for each channel (See Figure 14). Figure 20

circuitry and the following sections describe component
selection for this circuitry.

DC-DC Operation
The following equation describes the slew rate as a function of
the step size, the update clock frequency and the LSB size.
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 AD5757/AD5737 output
channel. These are designed to operate in discontinuous
conduction mode (DCM) with a duty cycle < 85%.
Rev. PrD | Page 27 of 31
AD5757/AD5737
Preliminary Technical Data
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 31).
DC-DC On-Board Switch
The AD5757/AD5737 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 AD5757/AD5737 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 31). 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
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.

η = efficiency (Assume = 0.8)
DC-DC External schottky selection
The AD5757/AD5737 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
AD5757/AD5737 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 AD5757/AD5737 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 AD5757/AD5737 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.

When the AD5757/AD5737 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
AD5757/AD5737 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 AD5757/AD5737.
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 AD5757/AD5737 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 AD5757/AD5737 from
excessively high voltag etransients , external power diodes and a
surge current limiting resistor may be required, as shown in
Figure 21. 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 AD5757/AD5737 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 AD5757/AD5737 require a 24-bit dataword 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
AD5757/AD5737 is mounted should be designed so that the
analog and digital sections are separated and confined to certain
areas of the board. If the AD5757/AD5737 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
The power supply lines of the AD5757/AD5737 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 AD5757/AD5737 makes it ideal
for isolated interfaces, because the number of interface lines is
kept to a minimum. Figure 22 shows a 4-channel isolated
interface to the AD5757/AD5737 using an ADuM1400. For

The AD5757/AD5737 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.
