CIRCUIT FUNCTION AND BENEFITS
The circuit shown in Figure 1 combines the AD5755-1 (quad
channel voltage and current output DAC with dynamic power
control) and the AD5700-1 HART modem, to give a completely
isolated multiplexed HART®1 analog output solution. Power can
be provided either from the transformer isolated power circuit
provided on the board (±13 V and +5.2 V outputs, dependent
on the load current) or from external power supplies connected
to terminal blocks. This circuit is suitable for use in
programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and distributed control
system (DCS) modules that require multiple HART-compatible
4 mA to 20 mA current outputs, along with unipolar or bipolar
voltage outputs. External transient protection circuitry is also
included, which is important for applications located in harsh
industrial environments.
The AD5755-1 DAC is software configurable and allows the
user to easily program the required output ranges and dc-to-dc
converter settings used for dynamic power control. It allows
access to all of the internal control registers, including the slew
rate control register, which is important for applications using
HART communication.
The AD5700-1 is the lowest power and smallest footprint
HART-compliant IC modem in the industry. It operates as a
HART frequency shift keying (FSK) half-duplex modem and
integrates all of the necessary signal detection, modulating,
demodulating, and signal generation functions. It contains a
0.5% precision internal oscillator, thus reducing board space
requirements and cost. The AD5700-1 uses a standard UART
interface.
Digital isolation is provided using the quad and dual channel
ADuM3481/ADuM3210 digital isolator components based on
Analog Devices, Inc., iCoupler® technology. The use of iCoupler
technology reduces the need for the additional external components often required in solutions based on optoisolators. An
external transformer is used to transfer power across the
isolation barrier.
The ADG759 provides multiplexing capability, enabling HART
communication, across the four analog output channels. The
ADG759 switches one of four differential inputs to a common
differential output as determined by the 2-bit binary address
lines A0 and A1. When disabled, all channels are switched off.
Bypass links are included to provide the flexibility to bypass the
multiplexer.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Dynamic Power Control
For industrial control modules, standard analog output voltage
and current ranges include ±5 V, ±10 V, 0 V to +5 V, 0 V to +10 V,
+4 mA to +20 mA, and 0 mA to +20 mA. The AD5755-1 provides
all of these ranges in a high precision, fully integrated, low cost,
single-chip solution. A 20% overrange feature is also available
for the voltage output ranges. Each DAC channel has a gain (M)
and offset (C) register, which allow trimming the gain and
offset errors of the entire signal chain.
The AD5755-1 contains integrated dynamic power control using
a dc-to-dc boost converter circuit, allowing reduced power
consumption in the current output mode. Most PLC current
output circuits used a fixed voltage source to meet the output
voltage compliance requirements across the full range of load
resistor values. For example, a 4 mA to 20 mA loop with 750 Ω
load, when driving 20 mA, requires a compliance voltage of at least
15 V. However, when driving 20 mA into a 50 Ω load, only 1 V
compliance is required. If the 15 V compliance is kept when
driving the 50 Ω load, a power dissipation of 20 mA × 14 V =
280 mW is wasted.
The AD5755-1 allows for an internal or external precision,
current setting resistor for the voltage-to-current conversion
circuitry, as shown in Figure 3. The stability of the output
current value over temperature is dependent on the stability of
the value of RSET. As a method of improving the stability of the
output current over temperature, an external 15 kΩ low drift
resistor can be connected to the RSET_X pin of the AD5755-1
instead of the internal resistor. The external resistor is selected
via the DAC control register. Accuracy measurements were
evaluated using both options, as described in the Circuit
Evaluation and Test section.

The AD5755-1 contains four independent dc-to-dc converters.
These are used to provide dynamic control of the VBOOST_X
supply voltage for each channel (see Figure 3). Figure 4 shows
the discrete components needed for the dc-to-dc circuitry.

The dc-to-dc converters use a constant frequency, peak current
mode control scheme to step up an AVCC input of 4.5 V to 5.5 V
to drive the AD5755-1 output channel. These are designed to
operate in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) with a duty
cycle of <90% typical.

DC-to-DC Converter Operation
It is recommended to place a 10 Ω, 100 nF low-pass RC filter
after CDCDC. This consumes a small amount of power but
reduces the amount of ripple on the VBOOST_X supply.
R3
R2
The AD5755-1 circuitry eliminates this power loss by sensing
the output voltage and regulating the compliance voltage to
allow only a small headroom voltage regardless of the load
resistance. The AD5755-1 is capable of driving up to 24 mA
into a 1 kΩ load.
11465-004
The current and voltage outputs are available on separate pins,
and only one is active at any given time, thus allowing for both
output pins to be tied together and connected to a single terminal.
When the current output is enabled, the voltage output is in
tristate mode, and when the voltage output is enabled, the
current output is in tristate mode. Analog outputs are shortcircuit and open-circuit protected.
Figure 3. Voltage-to-Current Conversion Circuitry
Precision Voltage Reference Selection
The AD5755-1 has an on-chip 10 ppm/°C (maximum) reference.
For higher performance over temperature, this design uses an
ADR02 reference with a 3 ppm/°C maximum drift (B grade,
SOIC package). The voltage applied to the reference input is
used to provide a buffered reference for the DAC core. Therefore,
any error in the voltage reference is reflected in the outputs.
When a channel current output is enabled, the converter regulates
the VBOOST_X supply to 7.4 V (±5%) or (IOUT_X × RLOAD + headroom),
whichever is greater. In the current output mode with the
output disabled, the converter regulates the VBOOST_X supply to
7.4 V (±5%). In the voltage output mode with the output
disabled, the converter regulates the VBOOST_X supply to +15 V
(±5%). Full details of the dc-to-dc converter operation can be
found in the AD5755-1 data sheet.
The ADR02 is a 5 V precision reference that allows for an input
voltage of up to 36 V. It has a 0.06% maximum accuracy error and a
3 ppm/°C maximum temperature drift (B grade, SOIC package).
This drift contributes approximately 0.02% error across the industrial temperature range. It has a long-term drift of 50 ppm (typical)
and a 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz noise specification of 10 μV p-p (typical).

HART Coupling
Transient Voltage Protection
The AD5755-1 has four CHART pins, corresponding to each of
the four output channels. A HART signal can be coupled into
these pins and appears on the corresponding current output if
that output is enabled. Table 1 shows the recommended input
voltages for the HART signal at the CHART pin. If these
voltages are used, the current output meets the HART
amplitude specifications. Figure 5 shows the recommended
circuit for attenuating and coupling the HART signals to the
AD5755-1 HART inputs.
The AD5755-1 contains ESD protection diodes that prevent
damage from normal handling. However, the industrial control
environment can subject I/O circuits to much higher transients.
To protect the AD5755-1 from excessively high voltage transients, a
24 V transient voltage suppressor (TVS) is placed on the IOUT/VOUT
connection, as shown in Figure 6. For added protection, clamping
diodes are connected from the IOUT_X/VOUT_X pin to the VBOOST_x
and AVSS power supply pins. A 5 kΩ current limiting resistor is
also placed in series with the +VSENSE_X input. This is to limit the
current to an acceptable level during a transient event. The
recommended external band-pass filter for the AD5700 HART
modem includes a 150 kΩ resistor that limits the current to a
sufficiently low level to adhere to intrinsic safety requirements.
In this case, the input has higher transient voltage protection
and, therefore, does not require additional protection circuitry,
even in the most demanding industrial environments.

A minimum capacitance of C1 + C2 is required to ensure that

C2 = 47 nF. Digitally controlling the slew rate of the output is
necessary to meet the analog rate of change requirements

The slew rate control feature of the AD5755-1 allows the user to

rate limited by the output drive circuitry and the attached load.
With the slew rate feature enabled via the SREN bit of the slew

Circuit Note
The input 24 V supply drives the ADP1621 PWM step-up
controller. The controller drives the 3-tap transformer, which
provides isolation and generates AVDD (+15 V), AVSS (−15 V),
and AVCC (+5 V). The feedback is provided via the PS2801-1
optocoupler.
The ADP1621 supply input voltage range is 2.9 V to 5.5 V, but
higher input voltages are possible with the use of a small-signal
NPN pass transistor or a single resistor. The switching
frequency is set by an external resistor over a range of 100 kHz
to 1.5 MHz.
COMMON VARIATIONS
For applications requiring only current outputs, the AD5757
can be used as an alternative to the AD5755-1. If less than 16
bits of resolution is required, the 12-bit AD5737 can be used.
The AD5700 modem can be used instead of the AD5700-1.
However, either an external crystal or a CMOS clock is required, as
the AD5700 does not have the internal oscillator option provided
on the AD5700-1. See the AD5700 data sheet and the AD5700-1
data sheet for further details.
The AVDD, AVSS and AVCC rail voltages are shown in Table 2
under various load conditions.

Digital Isolation
USB
The ADuM3481 and ADuM3482 are 3.75 kV quad channel
digital isolators in small 20-lead SSOP packages (7.2 mm ×
7.8 mm). The isolator core operates between 3.0 V and 5.5 V,
whereas the I/O supply can range from 1.8 V to 5.5 V. These
devices can be used to interface directly with 1.8 V logic. The
ADuM3481 in this design is used to isolate the SPI signals for
the AD5755-1 while the ADuM3482 is used to isolate the
UART signals for the AD5700-1 HART modem. The dual
channel ADuM3210 is used to isolate the address lines of the
ADG759 quad channel mux.

By default, the board is configured to be powered by the
transformer-isolated supply, therefore, links LK2 to LK5 are
inserted. If the terminal blocks are used to provide power to the
circuit, the following supplies must be provided:
The main software window is shown in Figure 10. Use the setup

by first setting up the dc-to-dc control settings, followed by the
DAC control settings, then loading the required code to the data
registers and finally enabling the outputs (see Figure 9). A quick
setup feature is provided in the setup tab to aid correct programming of the AD5755-1. For HART communications, ensure a
current output range is enabled. The main tab can then be used to
issue a HART command and/or update the AD5755-1 output code.

the AD5755-1 and the ADR02 reference.
4.5 V to 5.5 V to AVCC on Connector J11 for the AVCC
supply of the AD5755-1.
With LK5 in place, the EXT_AVCC supply also supplies
DVDD. DVDD is used to power the digital supply of the
AD5755-1 and provides power for the AD5700-1 HART
modem, the ADG759 mux, and the secondary side of the
isolator devices. Alternatively, DVDD (2.7 V to 5.5 V) can
be supplied by an external supply connected to J1.
Software Installation
The evaluation kit includes self-installing software on a CD. The
software is compatible with Windows XP (SP2), Vista (32-bit
and 64-bit) or Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit). If the setup file
does not run automatically, run the setup.exe file from the CD.
Install the evaluation software before connecting the evaluation
board and SDP board to the USB port of the PC to ensure that
the evaluation system is correctly recognized when connected

Integral Nonlinearity (INL) Performance
Absolute Accuracy Performance
The INL of the AD5755-1 was tested using both linear power
supplies and the transformer isolated switched power supplies.
As shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13, there is no noticeable
performance loss in system accuracy using the switched power
supplies versus the linear power supplies. The AD5755-1 data
sheet specifies an INL of ±0.006% FSR across the full temperature range for both IOUT and VOUT irrespective of whether RSET
internal or external is used. The plots show that the measured
results fall well within this specification.
The specification for the total unadjusted error (TUE) for the
AD5755-1 in current output mode using the internal RSET is
±0.11% FSR maximum at 25oC. The total error of the ADR02
reference (B grade) is 0.06% maximum at 25oC.
Table 4 shows the measured current output error of the circuit
for Channel A in the 4 ma to 20 mA range with a 500 Ω load
using internal RSET. Figure 14 summarizes the results for all four
channels, using both internal and external RSET. All results are
within the expected values.

HART Compliance
Like the earlier linearity tests, this test was performed using
both the linear and isolated switched power supplies. While
noise results obtained using the linear power supplies were
much lower than those obtained using the isolated switched
power supplies, both were within the required HART
specification.

Figure 15 shows the 1200 Hz and 2200 Hz FSK frequencies
measured across a 500 Ω load resistor on IOUT_A. Channel 1

For the circuit in Figure 2 to be HART-compliant, it must meet
the HART physical layer specifications. There are numerous
physical layer specifications included in the HART specification
documents. For evaluating the performance of the hardware,
the two specifications considered here are the output noise
during silence and the analog rate of change.

Output Noise During Silence Test
0
When a HART device is not transmitting (silent), it does not couple
noise onto the network in the HART extended frequency band.
Excessive noise may interfere with reception of HART signals
by the device itself or other devices on the network.
The voltage noise measured across a 500 Ω load must contain
no more than 2.2 mV rms of combined broadband and correlated
noise in the HART extended frequency band. Additionally, the
noise must not exceed 138 mV rms outside of this frequency band.
This noise was measured by connecting the HCF_TOOL-31
filter (available from the HART Communication Foundation)
across the 500 Ω load and subsequently connecting the output
of the filter to a true rms meter. An oscilloscope was used to
examine the output waveform.

Analog Rate of Change
This specification ensures that when a device regulates current,
the maximum rate of change of analog current does not interfere
with HART communications. Step changes in current disrupt
HART signaling. The worst-case change in the analog output
current must not produce a disturbance higher than 15 mV
peak, measured across a 500 Ω load in the HART extended
frequency band. Meeting this requirement ensures that the
maximum bandwidth of the analog signaling is within the
specified dc to 25 Hz frequency band.

Circuit Note
For this test, the HCF_TOOL-31 was again connected across the
500 Ω load, as in the noise during silence test, and an oscilloscope
was connected to its output. Rather than setting the AD5755-1
output to a fixed output current, this time the AD5755-1 was
programmed to output a cyclic waveform, switching from 4 mA
to 20 mA. To meet the required system specifications, the output
current change was limited by the digital slew rate control feature
of the AD5755-1. This feature is described in more detail in the
Digital Slew Rate Control section and in the AD5755-1 data sheet.
For this test, SR_CLOCK and SR_STEP were set to 64 kHz and
16 LSBs respectively, giving a slew time of 64 ms. The result is
shown in Figure 17. Channel 1 shows the AD5755-1 IOUT_A
signal stepping between 4 mA and 20 mA, sensed across the
500 Ω load and connected to the input to the bandpass filter.
The output of the filter (which has a gain factor of 10) can be
seen on Channel 2. The peak value is within the previously
mentioned 150 mV peak limits.
