Description
18-bit, 0.5 LSB INL, voltage output DAC
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD57911 is a single 20-bit, unbuffered voltage-output DAC
that operates from a bipolar supply of up to 33 V. The AD5791
accepts a positive reference input in the range 5 V to VDD − 2.5 V
and a negative reference input in the range VSS + 2.5 V to 0 V.
The AD5791 offers a relative accuracy specification of ±1 LSB
max, and operation is guaranteed monotonic with a ±1 LSB
DNL maximum specification.
The part uses a versatile 3-wire serial interface that operates at
clock rates up to 35 MHz and that is compatible with standard
SPI, QSPI™, MICROWIRE™, and DSP interface standards. The
part incorporates a power-on reset circuit that ensures the DAC
1
output powers up to 0 V and in a known output impedance
state and remains in this state until a valid write to the device
takes place. The part provides an output clamp feature that
places the output in a defined load state.

Description
Connection to Inverting Input of External Amplifier. See the AD5791 Features section for further details.
Analog Output Voltage.
Positive Reference Sense Voltage Input. A voltage range of 5 V to VDD − 2.5 V can be connected. A unity gain
amplifier must be connected at this pin in conjunction with the VREFPF pin. See the AD5791 Features section for
further details.
Positive Reference Force Voltage Input. A voltage range of 5 V to VDD − 2.5 V can be connected. A unity gain
amplifier must be connected at this pin in conjunction with the VREFPS pin. See the AD5791 Features section for
further details.
Positive Analog Supply Connection. A voltage range of 7.5 V to 16.5 V can be connected, VDD should be decoupled
to AGND.
Active Low Reset Logic Input Pin. Asserting this pin returns the AD5791 to its power-on status.
Active Low Clear Logic Input Pin. Asserting this pin sets the DAC register to a user defined value (see Table 13) and
updates the DAC output. The output value depends on the DAC register coding that is being used, either binary
or twos complement.
Active Low Load DAC Logic Input Pin. This is used to update the DAC register and consequently, the analog
output. When tied permanently low, the output is updated on the rising edge of SYNC. If LDAC is held high during
the write cycle, the input register is updated, but the output update is held off until the falling edge of LDAC. The
LDAC pin should not be left unconnected.
Digital Supply Connection. A voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V can be connected. VCC should be decoupled to DGND.
Digital Interface Supply Pin. Digital threshold levels are referenced to the voltage applied to this pin. A voltage in
the range of 1.71 V to 5.5 V can be connected. IOVCC should not be allowed to exceed VCC.
Serial Data Output Pin. Data is clocked out on the rising edge of the serial clock input.
Serial Data Input Pin. This device has a 24-bit shift register. Data is clocked into the register on the falling edge of
the serial clock input.
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 clock rates of up to 35 MHz.
Active Low Digital Interface Synchronization Input Pin. This is the frame synchronization signal for the input data.
When SYNC is low, it enables the input shift register, and data is then transferred in on the falling edges of the
following clocks. The input shift register is updated on the rising edge of SYNC.
Ground Reference Pin for Digital Circuitry.
Negative Reference Force Voltage Input. A voltage range of VSS + 2.5 V to 0 V can be connected. A unity gain
amplifier must be connected at this pin, in conjunction with the VREFNS pin. See the AD5791 Features section for
further details.
Negative Reference Sense Voltage Input. A voltage range of VSS + 2.5 V to 0 V can be connected. A unity gain
amplifier must be connected at this pin, in conjunction with the VREFNF pin. See the AD5791 Features section for
further details.
Negative Analog Supply Connection. A voltage range of −16.5 V to −2.5 V can be connected. VSS should be
decoupled to AGND.
Ground Reference Pin for Analog Circuitry.
Feedback Connection for External Amplifier. See the AD5791 Features section for further details.

TERMINOLOGY
Relative Accuracy
Relative accuracy, or integral nonlinearity (INL), is a measure of
the maximum deviation, in LSB, from a straight line passing
through the endpoints of the DAC transfer function. A typical
INL error vs. code plot is shown in Figure 5.
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. A
typical DNL error vs. code plot is shown in Figure 9.
Linearity Error Long Term Stability
Linearity error long term stability is a measure of the stability of
the linearity of the DAC over a long period of time. It is specified
in LSB for a time period of 500 hours and 1000 hours at an
elevated ambient temperature.
Zero-Scale Error
Zero-scale error is a measure of the output error when zero-scale
code (0x00000) is loaded to the DAC register. Ideally, the output
voltage should be VREFNS. Zero-scale error is expressed in LSBs.
Midscale Error Temperature Coefficient
Midscale error temperature coefficient is a measure of the
change in midscale error with a change in temperature. It is
expressed in ppm FSR/°C.
Output Slew Rate
Slew rate is a measure of the limitation in the rate of change of
the output voltage. The slew rate of the AD5791 output voltage
is determined by the capacitive load presented to the VOUT pin. The
capacitive load in conjunction with the 3.4 kΩ output impedance
of the AD5791 set the slew rate. Slew rate is measured from 10%
to 90% of the output voltage change and is expressed in V/µs.
Output Voltage Settling Time
Output voltage settling time is the amount of time it takes for
the output voltage to settle to a specified level for a specified
change in voltage. For fast settling applications, a high speed
buffer amplifier is required to buffer the load from the 3.4 kΩ
output impedance of the AD5791, in which case it is the
amplifier that determines the settling time.
Zero-Scale Error Temperature Coefficient
Zero-scale error temperature coefficient is a measure of the
change in zero-scale error with a change in temperature. It is
expressed in ppm FSR/°C.
Digital-to-Analog Glitch Impulse
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 specified as the area of the glitch in nV-sec and is
measured when the digital input code is changed by 1 LSB at
the major carry transition (see Figure 42).
Full-Scale Error
Full-scale error is a measure of the output error when fullscale code (0x3FFFF) is loaded to the DAC register. Ideally,
the output voltage should be VREFPS − 1 LSB. Full-scale error is
expressed in LSBs.
Output Enabled Glitch Impulse
Output enabled glitch impulse is the impulse injected into the
analog output when the clamp to ground on the DAC output is
removed. It is specified as the area of the glitch in nV-sec (see
Figure 48).
Full-Scale Error Temperature Coefficient
Full-scale error temperature coefficient is a measure of the
change in full-scale error with a change in temperature. It is
expressed in ppm FSR/°C.
Gain Error
Gain error is a measure of the span error of the DAC. It is the
deviation in slope of the DAC transfer characteristic from ideal,
expressed in ppm of the full-scale range.
Gain Error Temperature Coefficient
Gain error temperature coefficient is a measure of the change in
gain error with a change in temperature. It is expressed in ppm
FSR/°C.
Midscale Error
Midscale error is a measure of the output error when midscale
code (0x20000) is loaded to the DAC register. Ideally, the output
voltage should be (VREFPS − VREFNS)/2 +VREFNS. Midscale error is
expressed in LSBs.
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 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, that is, from all 0s to all 1s, and vice versa.
Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
Spurious free dynamic range is the usable dynamic range of a
DAC before spurious noise interferes or distorts the fundamental
signal. It is measured by the difference in amplitude between
the fundamental and the largest harmonically or nonharmonically
related spur from dc to full Nyquist bandwidth (half the DAC
sampling rate, or fS/2). SFDR is measured when the signal is a
digitally generated sine wave.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
Total harmonic distortion is the ratio of the rms sum of the
harmonics of the DAC output to the fundamental value Only
the second to fifth harmonics are included.

DC Power Supply Rejection Ratio
DC power supply rejection ratio is a measure of the rejection of
the output voltage to dc changes in the power supplies applied
to the DAC. It is measured for a given dc change in power
supply voltage and is expressed in µV/V.
AC Power Supply Rejection Ratio (AC PSRR)
AC power supply rejection ratio is a measure of the rejection of
the output voltage to ac changes in the power supplies applied
to the DAC. It is measured for a given amplitude and frequency
change in power supply voltage and is expressed in decibels.

DAC ARCHITECTURE
08964-050
The AD5791 is a high accuracy, fast settling, single, 20-bit,
serial input, voltage output DAC. It operates from a VDD supply
voltage of 7.5 V to 16.5 V and a VSS supply of −16.5 V to −2.5 V.
Data is written to the AD5791 in a 24-bit word format via a 3-wire
serial interface. The AD5791 incorporates a power-on reset
circuit that ensures the DAC output powers up to 0 V with the
VOUT pin clamped to AGND through a ~6 kΩ internal resistor.
SIX MSBs DECODED INTO
63 EQUAL SEGMENTS
Figure 49. DAC Ladder Structure
The architecture of the AD5791 consists of two matched DAC
sections. A simplified circuit diagram is shown in Figure 49.
The six MSBs of the 20-bit data-word are decoded to drive 63
switches, E0 to E62. Each of these switches connects one of 63
matched resistors to either the VREFP or VREFN voltage. The
remaining 14 bits of the data-word drive the S0 to S13 switched
of a 14-bit voltage mode R-2R ladder network. To ensure
performance to specification, the reference inputs must be force
sensed with external amplifiers.
SERIAL INTERFACE
The AD5791 has a 3-wire serial interface (SYNC, SCLK, and
SDIN) that is compatible with SPI, QSPI, and MICROWIRE
interface standards, as well as most DSPs (see Figure 2 for a
timing diagram).
Input Shift Register
The input shift register is 24 bits wide. Data is loaded into the
device MSB first as a 24-bit word under the control of a serial
clock input, SCLK, which can operate at up to 50 MHz. The
input register consists of a R/W bit, three address bits, and
twenty register bits as shown in Table 7. The timing diagram for
this operation is shown in Figure 2.

Standalone Operation
HARDWARE CONTROL PINS
The serial interface works with both a continuous and noncontinuous serial clock. A continuous SCLK source can be used
only if SYNC is held low for the correct number of clock cycles.
In gated clock mode, a burst clock containing the exact number
of clock cycles must be used, and SYNC must be taken high
after the final clock to latch the data. The first falling edge of
SYNC starts the write cycle. Exactly 24 falling clock edges must
be applied to SCLK before SYNC is brought high again. If
SYNC is brought high before the 24th falling SCLK edge, the
data written is invalid. If more than 24 falling SCLK edges are
applied before SYNC is brought high, the input data is also
invalid. The input shift register is updated on the rising edge of
SYNC. For another serial transfer to take place, SYNC must be
brought low again. After the end of the serial data transfer, data
is automatically transferred from the input shift register to the
addressed register. Once the write cycle is complete, the output
can be updated by taking LDAC low while SYNC is high.
Load DAC Function (LDAC)
After data has been transferred into the input register of the
DAC, there are two ways to update the DAC register and DAC
output. Depending on the status of both SYNC and LDAC, one
of two update modes is selected: synchronous DAC updating or
asynchronous DAC updating
Synchronous DAC Update
In this mode, LDAC is held low while data is being clocked into
the input shift register. The DAC output is updated on the rising
edge of SYNC.
Asynchronous DAC Update
In this mode, LDAC is held high while data is being clocked
into the input shift register. The DAC output is asynchronously
updated by taking LDAC low after SYNC has been taken high.
The update now occurs on the falling edge of LDAC.
Readback
Reset Function (RESET)
The contents of all the on-chip registers can be read back via the
SDO pin. Table 8 outlines how the registers are decoded. After a
register has been addressed for a read, the next 24 clock cycles
clock the data out on the SDO pin. The clocks must be applied
while SYNC is low. When SYNC is returned high, the SDO pin
is placed in tristate. For a read of a single register, the NOP
function can be used to clock out the data. Alternatively, if more
than one register is to be read, the data of the first register to be
addressed can be clocked out at the same time the second register
to be read is being addressed. The SDO pin must be enabled to
complete a readback operation. The SDO pin is enabled by
default.
The AD5791 can be reset to its power-on state by two means:
either by asserting the RESET pin or by utilizing the software
RESET control function (see Table 14). If the RESET pin is not
used, it should be hardwired to IOVCC.
Asynchronous Clear Function (CLR)
The CLR pin is an active low clear that allows the output to
be cleared to a user defined value. The 20-bit clear code value
is programmed to the clearcode register (see Table 13). It is
necessary to maintain CLR low for a minimum amount of time
to complete the operation (see Figure 2).When the CLR signal
is returned high the output remains at the clear value (if LDAC
is high) until a new value is loaded to the DAC register. The
output cannot be updated with a new value while the CLR pin is
low. A clear operation can also be performed by setting the CLR
bit in the software control register (see Table 14).

Description
Setting this bit to a 1 updates the DAC register and consequently the DAC output.
Setting this bit to a 1 sets the DAC register to a user defined value (see Table 13) and updates the DAC output. The output
value depends on the DAC register coding that is being used, either binary or twos complement.
Setting this bit to a 1 returns the AD5791 to its power-on state.

AD5791 FEATURES
POWER-ON TO 0 V
Unity Gain Configuration
The AD5791 contains a power-on reset circuit that, as well as
resetting all registers to their default values, controls the output
voltage during power-up. Upon power-on the DAC is placed in
tristate (its reference inputs are disconnected) and its output is
clamped to ground through a ~6 kΩ resistor. The DAC remains
in this state until programmed otherwise via the control
register. This is a useful feature in applications where it is
important to know the state of the DAC output while it is in the
process of powering up.
Figure 50 shows an output amplifier configured for unity gain,
in this configuration the output spans from VREFN to VREFP.

After power-on the AD5791 must be configured to put it into
normal operating mode before programming the output. To do
this, the control register must be programmed. The DAC is
removed from tristate by clearing the DACTRI bit, and the
output clamp is removed by clearing the OPGND bit. At this
point, the output goes to VREFN, unless an alternative value is
first programmed to the DAC register.

LINEARITY COMPENSATION
The integral nonlinearity (INL) of the AD5791 can vary according
to the applied reference voltage span, the LIN COMP bits of
the control register can be programmed to compensate for
this variation in INL. The specifications in this data sheet are
obtained with LIN COMP = 0000 for reference spans up to
and including 10 V and with LIN COMP = 1100 for a reference
span of 20 V. The default value of the LIN COMP bits is 0000.
Intermediate LIN COMP values can be programmed for reference
spans between 10 V and 20 V as shown in Table 12.
A second unity gain configuration for the output amplifier is
one that removes an offset from the input bias currents of the
amplifier. It does this by inserting a resistance in the feedback
path of the amplifier that is equal to the output resistance of the
DAC. The DAC output resistance is 3.4 kΩ, by connecting R1
and RFB in parallel, a resistance equal to the DAC resistance is
available on chip. Because the resistors are all on one piece of
silicon, they are temperature coefficient matched. To enable this
mode of operation the RBUF bit of the control register must be
set to Logic 1. Figure 51 shows how the output amplifier is
connected to the AD5791. In this configuration, the output
amplifier is in unity gain and the output spans from VREFN to
VREFP. This unity gain configuration allows a capacitor to be placed
in the amplifier feedback path to improve dynamic performance.

Gain of Two Configuration
Figure 52 shows an output amplifier configured for a gain of
two. The gain is set by the internal matched 6.8 kΩ resistors,
which are exactly twice the DAC resistance, having the effect of
removing an offset from the input bias current of the external
amplifier. In this configuration, the output spans from 2 ×
VREFN − VREFP to VREFP. This configuration is used to generate a
bipolar output span from a single ended reference input with
VREFN = 0 V. For this mode of operation, the RBUF bit of the
control register must be cleared to Logic 0.

TYPICAL OPERATING CIRCUIT
Figure 53. Typical Operating Circuit
Figure 53 shows a typical operating circuit for the AD5791
using an AD8676 for reference buffers and an AD8675 as an
output buffer. To meet the specified linearity, force sense buffers
must be used on the reference inputs. Because the output
impedance of the AD5791 is 3.4 kΩ, an output buffer is
required for driving low resistive, high capacitance loads.
