Data Readback Capability
+2.5 V to +5.5 V Power Supply
Guaranteed Monotonic By Design Over All Codes
Power-Down to 50 nA @ 3 V
Reference Derived from Power Supply
Power-On-Reset to Zero Volts
On-Chip Rail-to-Rail Output Buffer Amplifier
Three Power-Down Functions
The AD5301/AD5311/AD5321 are single 8-, 10- and 12-bit
buffered voltage-output DACs that operate from a single +2.5 V
to +5.5 V supply consuming 120 µA at 3 V. The on-chip output
amplifier allows rail-to-rail output swing with a slew rate of
0.7 V/µs. It uses a 2-wire (I2C compatible) serial interface that
operates at clock rates up to 400 kHz. Multiple devices can
share the same bus.
The reference for the DAC is derived from the power supply
inputs and thus gives the widest dynamic output range. These
parts incorporate a power-on-reset circuit, which ensures that
the DAC output powers-up to zero volts and remains there until
a valid write takes place. The parts contain a power-down feature
which reduces the current consumption of the device to 50 nA
at 3 V and provides software-selectable output loads while in
power-down mode.
APPLICATIONS
Portable Battery Powered Instruments
Digital Gain and Offset Adjustment
Programmable Voltage and Current Sources
Programmable Attenuators
The low power consumption in normal operation make these
DACs ideally suited to portable battery-operated equipment.
The power consumption is 0.75 mW at 5 V, 0.36 mW at 3 V
reducing to 1 µW in all power-down modes.

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection.
Although the AD5301/AD5311/AD5321 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, perma nent
damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper
ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

Power Supply Input. These parts can be operated from +2.5 V to +5.5 V and the supply
should be decoupled with a 10 µF in parallel with a 0.1 µF capacitor to GND.
Address Input. Sets the Least Significant Bit of the 7-bit slave address.
Address Input. Sets the 2nd Least Significant Bit of the 7-bit slave address.
Buffered analog output voltage from the DAC. The output amplifier has rail-to-rail operation.
Active low control input that acts as a hardware power-down option. This pin overrides any
software power-down option. The DAC output goes three-state and the current consumption
of the part drops to 50 nA @ 3 V (200 nA @ 5 V).
Serial Clock Line. This is used in conjunction with the SDA line to clock data into the 16-bit
input shift register. Clock rates of up to 400 kbit/s can be accommodated in the I2C compatible interface. SCL may be CMOS/TTL driven.
Serial Data Line. This is used in conjunction with the SCL line to clock data into the 16-bit
input shift register during the write cycle and used to read back one or two bytes of data
(one byte for the AD5301, two bytes for the AD5311/AD5321) during the read cycle. It is
a bidirectional open-drain data line that should be pulled to the supply with an external
pull-up resistor. If not used in readback mode, SDA may be CMOS/TTL driven.

TERMINOLOGY
RELATIVE ACCURACY
GAIN ERROR
This is a measure of the span error of the DAC. It is the deviation in slope of the actual DAC transfer characteristic from the
ideal expressed as a percentage of the full-scale range.
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 actual endpoints of the DAC transfer
function. Typical INL vs. Code plots can be seen in Figures 2
to 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.
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. These DACs are guaranteed
monotonic by design over all codes. Typical DNL vs. Code
plots can be seen in Figures 5 to 7.
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.
MAJOR CODE TRANSITION GLITCH ENERGY
Major Code Transition Glitch Energy is the energy of the impulse injected into the analog output when the 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 code is
changed by 1 LSB at the major carry transition (011 . . . 11 to
100 . . . 00 or 100 . . . 00 to 011 . . . 11).
ZERO CODE ERROR
Zero Code Error is a measure of the output error when zero
code (00H) is loaded to the DAC register. Ideally, the output
should be 0 V. The Zero Code Error of the AD5301/AD5311/
AD5321 is always positive 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. It is expressed in mV, see
Figure 9.
DIGITAL FEEDTHROUGH
Digital Feedthrough is a measure of the impulse injected into
the analog output of the DAC from the digital input pins of the
device but is measured when the DAC is not being written to. It
is specified in nV-secs and is measured with a full-scale change
on the digital input pins, i.e., from all 0s to all 1s and vice versa.
FULL-SCALE ERROR
Full-Scale Error is a measure of the output error when full scale
is loaded to the DAC register. Ideally, the output should be VDD
– 1 LSB. Full-scale error is expressed in percent of FSR (fullscale range). A plot can be seen in Figure 9.

RESISTOR STRING
The resistor string section is shown in Figure 22. It is simply a
string of resistors, each of value R. The digital code loaded to
the DAC register determines at what node on the string the
voltage is tapped off to be fed into the output amplifier. The
voltage is tapped off by closing one of the switches connecting
the string to the amplifier. Because it is a string of resistors, it is
guaranteed monotonic over all codes.

The AD5301/AD5311/AD5321 are single resistor-string DACs
fabricated on a CMOS process with resolutions of 8, 10 and 12
bits respectively. Data is written via a 2-wire serial interface.
They operate from single supplies of +2.5 V to +5.5 V and the
output buffer amplifiers provide rail-to-rail output swing with a
slew rate of 0.7 V/µs. The power-supply (VDD) acts as the reference to the DAC. The devices have three programmable powerdown modes, in which the DAC may be turned off completely
with a high-impedance output, or the output may be pulled low
by an on-chip resistor. See Power-Down section.

The architecture of the DAC channel consists of a resistorstring DAC followed by an output buffer amplifier. The voltage
at the VDD pin provides the reference voltage for the DAC.
Figure 21 shows a block diagram of the DAC architecture.
Since the input coding to the DAC is straight binary, the ideal
output voltage is given by:

where:
N = DAC resolution
D = decimal equivalent of the binary code which is loaded to the
DAC register:
0–255 for AD5301 (8 Bits)
0–1023 for AD5311 (10 Bits)
0–4095 for AD5321 (12 Bits)
The output buffer amplifier is capable of generating output
voltages to within 1 mV from either rail, which gives an output
range of 0.001 V to VDD – 0.001 V. It is capable of driving a
load of 2 kΩ to GND and VDD, in parallel with 500 pF to GND.
The source and sink capabilities of the output amplifier can be
seen in Figure 11.
The slew rate is 0.7 V/µs with a half-scale settling time to
± 0.5 LSB (at 8 bits) of 6 µs with the output unloaded.
POWER-ON RESET
The AD5301/AD5311/AD5321 are provided with a power-on
reset function, ensuring that they power up in a defined state.
The DAC register is filled with zeros and remains so until a
valid write sequence is made to the device. This is particularly
useful in applications where it is important to know the state of
the DAC output while the device is powering up.

AD5301/AD5311/AD5321
SERIAL INTERFACE
2-WIRE SERIAL BUS
The AD5301/AD5311/AD5321 are controlled via an I2Ccompatible serial bus. The DACs are connected to this bus as
slave devices (no clock is generated by the AD5301/AD5311/
AD5321 DACs).
The AD5301/AD5311/AD5321 has a 7-bit slave address. In the
case of the 6-pin device, the 6 MSBs are 000110 and the LSB is
determined by the state of the A0 pin. In the case of the 8-pin
device, the 5 MSBs are 00011 and the 2 LSBs are determined
by the state of the A0 and A1 pins. A1 and A0 allow the user to
use up to four of these DACs on one bus.
The 2-wire serial bus protocol operates as follows:
1. The master initiates data transfer by establishing a START
condition, which is when a high to low transition on the SDA
line occurs while SCL is high. The following byte is the address byte which consists of the 7-bit slave address followed
by an R/W bit (this bit determines whether data will be read
from or written to the slave device).
The slave whose address corresponds to the transmitted
address responds by pulling the SDA line low during the
ninth clock pulse (this is termed the Acknowledge bit). At
this stage, all other devices on the bus remain idle while the
selected device waits for data to be written to or read from its
serial register. If the R/W bit is high, the master will read
from the slave device. However, if the R/W bit is low, the
master will write to the slave device.
2. Data is transmitted over the serial bus in sequences of nine
clock pulses (eight data bits followed by an Acknowledge
bit). The transitions on the SDA line must occur during the
low period of SCL and remain stable during the high period
of SCL.
3. When all data bits have been read or written, a STOP condition is established by the master. A STOP condition is defined as a low-to-high transition on the SDA line while SCL
is high. In Write mode, the master will pull the SDA line
high during the 10th clock pulse to establish a STOP condition. In Read mode, the master will issue a No Acknowledge
for the 9th clock pulse (i.e., the SDA line remains high). The
master will then bring the SDA line low before the 10th clock
pulse and then high during the 10th clock pulse to establish a
STOP condition.
In the case of the AD5301/AD5311/AD5321, a write operation
contains two bytes whereas a read operation may contain one or
two bytes. See Figures 24 to 29 below for a graphical explanation of the serial interface.
A repeated write function gives the user flexibility to update the
DAC output a number of times after addressing the part only
once. During the write cycle, each multiple of two data bytes
will update the DAC output. For example, after the DAC has
acknowledged its address byte, and receives two data bytes, the
DAC output will update after the two data bytes, if another two
data bytes are written to the DAC while it is still the addressed
slave device, these data bytes will also cause an output update.
Repeat read of the DAC is also allowed.
INPUT SHIFT REGISTER
The input shift register is 16 bits wide. Figure 23 illustrates the
contents of the input shift register for each part. Data is loaded
into the device as a 16-bit word under the control of a serial
clock input, SCL. The timing diagram for this operation is
shown in Figure 1. The 16-bit word consists of four control bits
followed by 8, 10 or 12 bits of data, depending on the device
type. MSB (Bit 15) is loaded first. The first two bits are “don’t
cares.” The next two are control bits that control the mode of
operation of the device (normal mode or any one of three
power-down modes). See Power Down Modes section for a
complete description. The remaining bits are left-justified DAC
data bits, starting with the MSB and ending with the LSB.

POWER-DOWN MODES
APPLICATIONS
The AD5301/AD5311/AD5321 have very low power consumption, dissipating typically 0.36 mW with a 3 V supply and
0.75 mW with a 5 V supply. Power consumption can be further
reduced when the DAC is not in use by putting it into one of
three power-down modes, which are selected by Bits 13 and 12
(PD1 and PD0) of the control word. Table I shows how the state
of the bits corresponds to the mode of operation of the DAC.
USING REF19x AS A POWER SUPPLY
Because the supply current required by the AD5301/AD5311/
AD5321 is extremely low, the user has an alternative option
to use a REF19x voltage reference (REF195 for +5 V or REF193
for +3 V) to supply the required voltage to the part, see Figure 31.

The software power-down modes programmed by PD0 and
PD1 may be overridden by the PD pin on the 8-pin version.
Taking this pin low puts the DAC into three-state power-down
mode. If PD is not used it should be tied high.
When both bits are set to 0, the DAC works normally with its
normal power consumption of 150 µA at 5 V, while for the three
power-down modes, the supply current falls to 200 nA at
5 V (50 nA at 3 V). Not only does the supply current drop, 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 and provides a defined input
condition for whatever is connected to the output of the DAC
amplifier. There are three different options. The output is connected internally to GND through a 1 kΩ resistor, a 100 kΩ
resistor or it is left open-circuited (Three-State). Resistor tolerance = ± 20%. The output stage is illustrated in Figure 30.
This is especially useful if the power supply is quite noisy or if
the system supply voltages are at some value other than +5 V or
+3 V (e.g., +15 V). The REF19x will output a steady supply
voltage for the AD5301/AD5311/AD5321. If the low dropout
REF195 is used, the current it needs to supply to the AD5301/
AD5311/AD5321 is 150 µA. This is with no load on the output
of the DAC. When the DAC output is loaded, the REF195 also
needs to supply the current to the load.
The total current required (with a 2 kΩ load on the DAC
output and full scale loaded to the DAC) is:
150 µA + (5 V/2 k Ω) = 2.65 mA
The load regulation of the REF195 is typically 2 ppm/mA which
results in an error of 5.3 ppm (26.5 µV) for the 2.65 mA current
drawn from it. This corresponds to a 0.00136 LSB error.

The output voltage for any input code can be calculated as
follows:
Further changes, in the SDA line driver, may be made to make
the system more CMOS-compatible and save more power. As
the SDA line is bidirectional, it cannot be made fully CMOScompatible. A switched pull-up resistor can be combined with
a CMOS device with an open-circuit (three-state) input such
that the CMOS SDA driver is enabled during write cycles and
I2C mode is enabled during shared cycles, i.e., readback, acknowledge bit cycles, start and stop conditions.
VOUT = [(V DD × (D/2N) × (R1 + R2)/R1) – VDD × (R2/R1)]
where D is the decimal equivalent of the code loaded to the
DAC.
N is the DAC resolution.
With VDD = 5 V, R1 = R2 = 10 kΩ:
VOUT = (10 × D/2N) – 5 V
POWER SUPPLY DECOUPLING
In any circuit where accuracy is important, careful consideration of the power supply and ground return layout helps to
ensure the rated performance. The AD5301/AD5311/AD5321
should be decoupled to GND with a 10 µF in parallel with 0.1 µF
capacitor, located as close to the package as possible. The 10 µF
capacitor should be the tantalum bead type, while a ceramic
0.1 µF capacitor will provide sufficient low impedance path to
ground at high frequencies. The power supply lines of the
AD5301/AD5311/AD5321 should use as large a trace as possible to provide low impedance paths. A ground line routed
between the SDA and SCL lines will help reduce crosstalk
between them (not required on a multilayer board as there will
be a ground plane layer, but separating the lines will help).
MULTIPLE DEVICES ON ONE BUS
Figure 33 shows four AD5301 devices on the same serial bus.
Each has a different slave address since the state of their A0 and
A1 pins is different. This allows each DAC to be written to or
read from independently. The master device output bus line
drivers are open-drain pull downs in a fully I2C-compatible
interface.
CMOS DRIVEN SCL AND SDA LINES
For single or multisupply systems where the minimum SCL
swing requirements allow it, a CMOS SCL driver may be used,
the SCL pull-up resistor can be removed, making the SCL bus
line fully CMOS compatible. This will reduce power consumption in both the SCL driver and receiver devices. The SDA line
remains open-drain, I2C-compatible.
