GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5040/AD5060, members of the nanoDACTM family,
are single 14/16-bit buffered voltage out DACs. Both parts are
available in a 8ld Sot23. The AD5040 can be operated from
2.7-5.5V and the AD5060 can be operated at 3V/5V.
The part utilizes a versatile three-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 reference for the AD5040/AD5060 is supplied from an
external REF pin. A reference buffer is also provided on chip.
The parts incorporate a power-on-reset circuit that ensures that
the DAC output powers up to zero volts/ mid scale and remains
there until a valid write takes place to the device. The parts also
contain a power-down feature that reduces the current
consumption of the device to 50nA at 5 V and provides
software selectable output loads while in power-down mode.
The part is put into power-down mode over the serial interface.
Total unadjusted error for the part is <1mV.

Power Supply Input. These parts can be operated from +2.5 V to +5.5 V and VDD should be decoupled to GND.
Reference Voltage Input.
Ground input to the DAC.
Analog output voltage from DAC.
Level triggered control input (active low). This is the frame synchronization signal for the input data. When SYNC goes low,
it enables the input shift register and data is transferred in on the falling edges of the following clocks. The DAC is updated
following the 16th clock cycle unless SYNC is taken high before this edge in which case the rising edge of SYNC acts as an
interrupt and the write sequence is ignored by the DAC.
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.
Serial Data Input. This device has a 24 bit shift register. Data is clocked into the register on the falling edge of the serial clock
input.

Gain Error
TERMINOLOGY
Relative Accuracy
For the DAC, relative accuracy or Integral Nonlinearity (INL)
is a measure of the maximum deviation, in LSBs, from a straight line
passing through the endpoints of the DAC transfer function. A
typical INL vs. code plot can be seen in Figure 2.
Differential Nonlinearity
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL) is the difference between the
measured change and the ideal 1 LSB change between any two
adjacent codes. A specified differential nonlinearity of ±1 LSB
maximum ensures monotonicity. This DAC is
guaranteed monotonic by design. A typical DNL vs. code plot
can be seen in Figure 3.
Zero-Code Error
This is a measure of the span error of the DAC. It is the
deviation in slope of the DAC transfer characteristic from ideal
expressed as a percent of the full-scale range.
Total Unadjusted Error
Total Unadjusted Error (TUE) is a measure of the output error
taking all the various errors into account. A typical TUE vs.
code plot can be seen in Figure 4.
Zero-Code Error Drift
This is a measure of the change in zero-code error
with a change in temperature. It is expressed in µV/°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.
Zero-code error is a measure of the output error when zero
code (0000Hex) is loaded to the DAC register. Ideally the
output should be 0 V. The zero-code error is always positive in
the AD5040/AD5060 because the output of the DAC cannot go
below 0 V. It is due to a combination of the offset errors in the
DAC and output amplifier. Zero-code error is expressed in mV.
A plot of zero-code error vs. temperature can be seen in Figure
6.
Digital-to-Analog Glitch Impulse
Full-Scale Error
Digital Feedthrough
Full-scale error is a measure of the output error when full-scale
code (FFFF Hex) is loaded to the DAC register. Ideally the
output should be VDD – 1 LSB. Full-scale error is expressed in
percent of full-scale range. A plot of full-scale error vs.
temperature can be seen in Figure 6.
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 nV secs
and is measured when the digital input code is
changed by
1 LSB at the major carry transition (7FFF Hex to 8000 Hex). See
Figure 19.
Digital feedthrough is a measure of the impulse injected into
the analog output of the DAC from the digital inputs of the
DAC but is measured when the DAC output is not updated. It
is specified in nV secs and measured with a full-scale
code change on the data bus, i.e., from all 0s to all 1s and vice
versa.

Preliminary Technical Data
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
SERIAL INTERFACE
The AD5040/AD5060 are single 14/16-bit, serial input, voltage
output DACs. The AD5040 operates from a supply voltage of
2.7-5.5 V. The AD5060 operates from either a 3V or 5V supply.
Data is written to the AD5040 in a 14-bit word format and to
the AD5060 with a 16-bit word via a 3-wire serial interface
The AD5040/AD5060 incorporates a power-on reset circuit,
which ensures that the DAC output powers up to 0 V or midscale. The device also has a software power-down mode pin,
which reduces the typical current consumption to 50nA at 3V.
DAC Architecture
The DAC architecture of the AD5040/AD5060 consists of two
matched DAC sections. A simplifed circuit diagram is shown in
Figure X 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 AGND or VREF. The
remaining 12 bits of thedata word drive switches S0 to S11 of a
12-bit voltage modeR-2R ladder network.
The AD5040/AD5060 (16/24 bit word write) have a
three-wire serial interface (SYNC, SCLK and DIN),
which is compatible with SPI, QSPI and
MICROWIRE interface standards as well as most DSPs. See
Figure 1 for a timing diagram of a typical write sequence.
The write sequence begins by bringing the SYNC line low.
Data from the DIN line is clocked into the 16/24-bit shift
register on the falling edge of SCLK. The serial clock frequency
can be as high as 30 MHz, making these parts compatible with
high speed DSPs. On the 16th/24 th falling clock edge, the last
data bit is clocked in and the programmed function is executed
(i.e., a change in DAC register contents and/or a change in the
mode of operation). At this stage, the SYNC line may be kept
low or be brought high. In either case, it must be brought high
for a minimum of 33 ns before the next write sequence so that a
falling edge of SYNC can initiate the next write sequence. Since
the SYNC buffer draws more current when VIN = 1.8 V than it
does when VIN = 0.8 V, SYNC should be idled low between
write sequences for even lower power operation of the part. As
is mentioned above, however, it must be brought high again
just before the next write sequence.
Input Shift Register
The input shift register is 16/24 bits wide (see Figure 22/23).
D23-D16 are set to zero for normal operation in the AD5060.
For the AD5060 D17, D16 are control bits that control which
mode of operation the part is in (normal mode or any one of
three power-down modes). There is a more complete
description of the various modes in the Power-Down
Modes section. The next sixteen bits are the data bits. These
are transferred to the DAC register on the 24th falling edge of SCLK.
Figure X. DAC Ladder Structure
Reference Buffer
The AD5060 operates with an external reference. The
reference input (REFIN) has an input range of up to Vdd.
This input voltage is then used to provide a buffered
reference for the DAC core
For the AD5040 D15, D14 are control bits that control which
mode of operation the part is in (normal mode or any one of
three power-down modes). The next fourteen bits are the data
bits. These are transferred to the DAC register on the 16th falling edge of
SCLK.

AD5040/AD5060
Figure 22. AD5060 Input Register Contents
Figure 22. AD5040 Input Register Contents
SYNC Interrupt
For the AD5060, in normal write sequence, the SYNC line is
kept low for at least 24 falling edges of SCLK and the DAC is
updated on the 24th falling edge. However, if SYNC is brought
high before the 24th falling edge this acts as an interrupt to the
write sequence. The shift register is reset and the write
sequence is seen as invalid. Neither an update of the DAC
register contents or a change in the operating mode occurs—
see Figure 23. For the AD5040, the same applies to the 16th
clock edge.
Power-On-Reset
The AD5040/AD5060 contains a power-on-reset circuit that
controls the output voltage during power-up. The DAC register
is filled with zeros and the output voltage is zero volts/midscale. It remains there until a valid write sequence is made to
the DAC. This is useful in applications where it is important to
know the state of the output of the DAC while it is in the
process of powering up.
Software Reset.
The AD5040/AD5060 can be put into software reset by setting
all in the Dac register to one. For the AD5060 this includes
writing ones to bits D23-D16, which in not the normal mode of
operation. Note: The SYNC Interrupt command cannot be
performed if a software reset command is started.
Power-Down Modes
The AD5040/AD5060 contains four separate modes of
operation. These modes are software-programmable by setting
two bits (PD1 and PD0) in the control register. Table I shows
how the state of the bits corresponds to the mode of operation
of the device.

When both bits are set to 0, the part works normally with its
normal power consumption. However, for the three powerdown modes, the supply current falls to 200 nA at 5 V (50 nA at
3 V). Not only does the supply current fall but the
output stage is also internally switched from the output of
the amplifier to a resistor network of known values. This
has the advantage that the output impedance of the part
is known while the part is in power-down mode.
There are three different options. The output is
connected internally to GND through a 1kΩ resistor, a 100 kΩ resistor
or it is left open-circuited (Three-State). The output stage is illustrated in
Figure 24.

Preliminary Technical Data
The bias generator, the output amplifier, the DAC and other
associated linear circuitry are all shut down when the
power-down mode is activated. However, the contents of the
DAC register are unaffected when in power-down. The time to
exit power-down is typically 2.5 µs for VDD = 5 V and 5 µs for
VDD = 3 V. See Figure 18 for a plot.

be configured as follows: Internal Clock Operation, Active Low

writing a word to the Tx register after the SPORT has
been enabled.

AD5040/AD5060 to 68HC11/68L11 Interface
Figure 26 shows a serial interface between the AD5060 and the
68HC11/68L11 microcontroller. SCK of the 68HC11/68L11
drives the SCLK of the AD5060, while the MOSI
output drives the serial data line 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
AD5040/AD5060, PC7 is left low after the first eight bits are
transferred, and a second serial write operation is performed to
the DAC and PC7 is taken high at the end of this procedure.
AD5040/AD5060 to Blackfin ADSP-BF53X
Interface
Figure 2X shows a serial interface between the AD5641 and the
Blackfin ADSP-53X 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 AD5062/63, the
setup for the interface is as follows. DT0PRI drives the SDIN pin of
the AD5062/63, while TSCLK0 drives the SCLK of the part. The
SYNC is driven from TFS0.

AD5040/AD5060, 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 AD5040/AD5060,
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 which has the LSB first. The
AD5040/AD5060 requires its data with the MSB as the first bit
received. The 80C51/80L51 transmit routine should take this
into account.
Figure 29. ADR425 as Reference to AD5040. ADR420 can be
used for AD5060.
Long term drift is a measure of how much the reference drifts
over time. A reference with a tight long term drift specification
ensures that the overall solution remains relatively stable
during its entire lifetime.
The temperature co-efficient of a references output voltage
affect INL,DNL TUE. A reference with a tight temperature coefficient specification should be chosen to reduce temperatue
dependence of the Dac output voltage on ambient conditions.

AD5040/AD5060 to Microwire Interface
Figure 28 shows an interface between the AD5040/AD5060 and
any microwire compatible device. Serial data is shifted out on
the falling edge of the serial clock and is clocked into the
AD5040/AD5060 on the rising edge of the SK.
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 noise resolution required is
important. Precision voltage references such as the ADR435
produce low output noise in the 0.1-10Hz region. Examples of
some recommended precision references for use as supply to
the AD5060 are shown in the figure below..

APPLICATIONS
Choosing a Reference for the AD5040/AD5060.
To achieve the optimum performance from the AD5060,
thought should be given to the choice of a precision voltage
reference. The AD5040/AD5060 have just one reference input,
REFIN. The voltage on the reference input is used to supply the
positive input to the Dac . Therefore any error in the reference
will be reflected in the Dac.
There are 4 possible sources of error when choosing a voltage
reference for high accuracy applications; initial accuracy, ppm
drift, long term drift and output voltage noise. Initial accuracy
on the output voltage of the Dac will lead to a full scale error in
the Dac. To minimize these errors, a reference with high initial
accuracy is preferred. Also, choosing a reference with an output
trim adjustment, such as the ADR425 allow a system designer
to trim system errors out by setting a reference voltage to a
voltage other than the nominal. The trim adjustment can also
be used at temperature to trim out any error.

Bipolar Operation Using the AD5040/AD5060
The AD5040/AD5060 has been designed for single-supply
operation but a bipolar output range is also possible using the
circuit in Figure 30. The circuit below will give an output
voltage range of ±5 V. Rail-to-rail operation at the amplifier
output is achievable using an AD820 or an OP295 as the output
amplifier.
The output voltage for any input code can be calculated as
follows:

Using AD5040/AD5060 with an Opto-Isolated
Interface
In process-control applications in industrial environments it is
often necessary to use an opto-isolated interface to protect and
isolate the controlling circuitry from any hazardous commonmode voltages that may occur in the area where the DAC is
functioning. Because the AD5040/AD5060 uses a three-wire
serial logic interface, the ADuM130Xifamily s an ideal way to
provide digital isolation for the DAC interface.
The ADuM130x isolators provide three independent isolation
channels in a variety of channel configurations and data rates.
They operate across the full range from 2.7V to 5.5V, providing
compatibility with lower voltage systems as well as enabling a
voltage translation functionality across the isolation barrier.
Figure 31. 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 AD5040/AD5060.
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
AD5040/AD5060 should have separate analog and digital
sections, each having its own area of the board. If the
AD5040/AD5060 is in a system where other devices require an
AGND to DGND connection, the connection should be
made at one point only. This ground point should be
as close as possible to the AD5040/AD5060.
The power supply to the AD5040/AD5060 should be
bypassed 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 (ESR) and
Effective Series Inductance (ESI), e.g., common ceramic types
of capacitors. This 0.1 µF capacitor provides a low impedance
path to ground for high frequencies caused by transient
currents due to internal logic switching.
The power supply line itself should have as large a trace as
possible to provide a low impedance path and reduce glitch
effects on the supply line. Clocks and other fast switching
digital signals should be shielded 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 two-layer board.
