GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5725 is a quad, 12-bit, parallel input, voltage output
digital-to-analog converter that offers guaranteed monotonicity,
integral nonlinearity (INL) of ±0.5 LSB maximum and 10 µs
maximum settling time.
Output voltage swing is set by two reference inputs, VREFP and
VREFN. By setting the VREFN input to 0 V and the VREFP to a
positive voltage, the DAC provides a unipolar positive output
range. A similar configuration with VREFP at 0 V and VREFN at a
negative voltage provides a unipolar negative output range.
Bipolar outputs are configured by connecting both VREFP and
VREFN to nonzero voltages. This method of setting output voltage
ranges has advantages over the bipolar offsetting methods
because it is not dependent on internal and external resistors
with different temperature coefficients.
Digital controls allow the user to load or read back data from
any DAC, load any DAC, and transfer data to all DACs at
one time.
The AD5725 is available in a 28-lead SSOP package. It can be
operated from a wide variety of supply and reference voltages,
with supplies ranging from single +5 V to ±15 V, and references
from +2.5 V to ±10 V. Power dissipation is less than 270 mW
with ±15 V supplies and only 40 mW with a +5 V supply.
Operation is specified over the temperature range of −40°C
to +85°C.
iCMOS® Process Technology
For analog systems designers within industrial/instrumentation equipment OEMs who need high performance ICs at higher-voltage levels, iCMOS is a technology
platform that enables the development of analog ICs capable of 30 V and operating at ±15 V supplies while allowing dramatic reductions in power consumption and
package size, and increased ac and dc performance.

TERMINOLOGY
Relative Accuracy or Integral Nonlinearity (INL)
For the DAC, relative accuracy or integral nonlinearity 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 16.
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)
Differential nonlinearity 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 17.
Monotonicity
A DAC is monotonic if the output either increases or remains
constant for increasing digital input code. The AD5725 is
monotonic over its full operating temperature range.
Full-Scale Error
Full-scale error is a measure of the output error when full-scale
code is loaded to the DAC register. Ideally, the output should be
VREFP − 1 LSB. Full-scale error is expressed in LSBs. A plot of
full-scale error vs. temperature can be seen in Figure 11.
Full-Scale Error TC
Full-scale error TC is a measure of the change in full-scale error
with a change in temperature. Full-scale error TC is expressed
in ppm FSR/°C.
Zero-Scale Error
Zero-scale error is the error in the DAC output voltage when
0x0000 (straight binary coding) is loaded to the DAC register.
Ideally, the output voltage should be VREFN. A plot of zero-scale
error vs. temperature can be seen in Figure 12.
Zero-Scale Error TC
Zero-scale error TC is a measure of the change in zero-scale
error with a change in temperature. Zero-scale error TC is
expressed in ppm FSR/°C.
Output Voltage Settling Time
Output voltage settling time is the amount of time it takes for
the output to settle to a specified level for a full-scale input
change.
Slew Rate
The slew rate of a device is a limitation in the rate of change of
the output voltage. The output slewing speed of a voltageoutput DAC is usually limited by the slew rate of the amplifier
used at its output. Slew rate is measured from 10% to 90% of the
output signal and is given in V/µs.
Digital Feedthrough
Digital feedthrough is a measure of the impulse injected into
the analog output of the DAC from the digital inputs of the
DAC, but it is measured when the DAC output is not updated.
It is specified in nV-sec and measured with a full-scale code
change on the data bus.
Power Supply Sensitivity
Power supply sensitivity indicates how the output of the DAC is
affected by changes in the power supply voltage.
Analog Crosstalk
Analog 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 while
monitoring another DAC. It is expressed in dB.

Data Sheet
AD5725
THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD5725 is a quad voltage output, 12-bit parallel input DAC
featuring a 12-bit data bus with readback capability. The AD5725
operates from single or dual supplies ranging from +5 V up to
±15 V. The output voltage range is set by the reference voltages
applied at the VREFP and VREFN pins.
DAC ARCHITECTURE
Each of the four DACs is a voltage switched, high impedance
(50 kΩ), R-2R ladder configuration. Each 2R resistor is driven
by a pair of switches that connect the resistor to either VREFH
or VREFL.
OUTPUT AMPLIFIERS
The output amplifiers are capable of generating both unipolar
and bipolar output voltages. They are capable of driving a load
of 2 kΩ in parallel with 500 pF to DGND. The source and sink
capabilities of the output amplifiers can be seen in Figure 23
and Figure 24. The slew rate is 2.2 V/µs with a full-scale settling
time of 10 µs. The amplifiers are short-circuit protected.
Careful attention to grounding is important for accurate
operation of the AD5725. With four outputs and two references
there is potential for ground loops. Since the AD5725 has no
analog ground, the ground must be specified with respect to the
reference.
REFERENCE INPUTS
All four DACs share common positive reference (VREFP) and
negative reference (VREFN) inputs. The voltages applied to these
reference inputs set the output high and low voltage limits on all
four of the DACs. Each reference input has voltage restrictions
with respect to the other reference and to the power supplies.
VREFN can be any voltage between AVSS and VREFP − 2.5 V and
VREFP can be any value between AVDD – 2.5 V and
VREFN + 2.5 V. Note that because of these restrictions, the
AD5725 references cannot be inverted (VREFN cannot be
greater than VREFP).
It is important to note that the AD5725 VREFP input both sinks
and sources current. Also, the input current of both VREFP and
VREFN are code dependent. Many references have limited current
sinking capability and must be buffered with an amplifier to
drive VREFP. The VREFN reference input has no such special
requirements.
PARALLEL INTERFACE
See Table 7 for the digital control logic truth table. The parallel
interface consists of a 12-bit bidirectional data bus, two register
select inputs, A0 and A1, a R/W input, a chip select (CS), and a
load DAC (LDAC) input. Control of the DACs and bus
direction is determined by these inputs as shown in Table 7.
Digital data bits are labeled with the MSB defined as Data Bit 11
and the LSB as Data Bit 0. All digital pins are TTL/CMOS
compatible.
The register select inputs A0 and A1 select individual DAC
Register A (Binary Code 00) through Register D (Binary Code 11).
Decoding of the registers is enabled by the CS input. When CS
is high, no decoding takes place, and neither the writing nor the
reading of the input registers is enabled. The loading of the
second bank of registers is controlled by the asynchronous
LDAC input. By taking LDAC low while CS is high, all output
registers can be updated simultaneously. Note that the tLDW
required pulse width for updating all DACs is a minimum of
10 ns. The R/W input, when enabled by CS, controls the writing
to and reading from the input register.
DATA CODING
The AD5725 uses binary coding. The output voltage can be
calculated as follows:
VOUT = VREFN +
(VREFP
− VREFN ) × D
4096
where D is the digital code in decimal.
CLR
The CLR function can be used either at power-up or at any time
during the DACs operation. The CLR function is independent
of CS. This pin is active low and sets the DAC registers to either
midscale code (0x800) for the AD5725 or zero code (0x000) for
the AD5725-1. The CLR to midscale code is most useful when
the DAC is configured for bipolar references and an output of
0 V is desired.
It is recommended that the reference inputs be bypassed with
0.2 µF capacitors when operating with ±10 V references. This
limits the reference bandwidth.

POWER SUPPLIES
Power supplies required are AVSS, AVDD, and VL. The AVSS
supply can be set between −15 V and 0 V. AVDD is the positive
supply; its operating range is between +5 V and +15 V.
VL is the digital output supply voltage for the readback function.
It is normally connected to +5 V. This pin is a logic reference
input only. It does not supply current to the device. If the readback
function is not used, VL can be left open-circuit. While VL does
not supply current to the AD5725, it does supply current to the
digital outputs when the readback function is used.
REFERENCE CONFIGURATION
Output voltage ranges can be configured as either unipolar or
bipolar, and within these choices, a wide variety of options
exists. The unipolar configuration can be either a positive or a
negative voltage output, and the bipolar configuration can be
either symmetrical or nonsymmetrical.

Unipolar positive full-scale operation can usually be set with a
reference with the correct output voltage. This is preferable to
using a reference and dividing down to the required value. For a
10 V full-scale output, the circuit can be configured as shown in
Figure 29. In this configuration, the full-scale value is set first by
adjusting the 10 kΩ resistor for a full-scale output of 9.9976 V.

The 0.2 µF bypass capacitors shown at the reference inputs in
Figure 28 should be used whenever ±10 V references are used.
Applications with single references or references to ±5 V may
not require the 0.2 µF bypassing. The 6.2 Ω resistor in series
with the output of the reference amplifier is to keep the amplifier
from oscillating with the capacitive load. We have found that
this is large enough to stabilize this circuit. Larger resistor
values are acceptable, provided that the drop across the resistor
does not exceed a VBE. Assuming a minimum VBE of 0.6 V and a
maximum current of 2.75 mA, the resistor should be under
200 Ω for the loading of a single AD5725.
Using two separate references is not recommended. Having two
references can cause different drifts with time and temperature,
whereas with a single reference, most drifts will track.

Figure 28 (Symmetrical Bipolar Operation) shows the AD5725
configured for ±10 V operation. See the AD688 data sheet for a
full explanation of reference operation. Adjustments may not be
required for many applications since the AD688 is a very high
accuracy reference. However, if additional adjustments are
required, adjust the AD5725 full scale first. Begin by loading the
digital full-scale code (0xFFF). Then, adjust the gain adjust
potentiometer to attain a DAC output voltage of 9.9976 V.
Then, adjust the balance adjust to set the mid-scale output
voltage to 0.000 V.

For operation with a +5 V supply, the reference voltage should

headroom of the reference and DAC are both sufficient to support
a +5 V supply with ±5 V tolerance. AVDD and VL should be
