Quad nanoDAC+ Devices GENERAL DESCRIPTION The AD5686/AD5684, members of the nanoDAC+™ family, are low power, quad, 16-/12-bit buffered voltage output DACs. The devices include a gain select pin giving a full-scale output of 2.5 V (gain = 1) or 5 V (gain = 2). All devices operate from a single 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply, are guaranteed monotonic by design, and exhibit less than 0.1% FSR gain error and 1.5 mV offset error performance. The devices are available in a 3 mm × 3 mm LFCSP and a TSSOP package. The AD5686/AD5684 also incorporate a power-on reset circuit and a RSTSEL pin that ensures that the DAC outputs power up to zero scale or midscale and remain at that level until a valid write takes place. Each part contains a per-channel power-down feature that reduces the current consumption of the device to 4 µA at 3 V while in power-down mode. The AD5686/AD5684 employ a versatile SPI interface that operates at clock rates up to 50 MHz, and all devices contain a VLOGIC pin intended for 1.8 V/3 V/5 V logic. Rev.

DC specifications tested with the outputs unloaded, unless otherwise noted. Upper dead band = 10 mV and exists only when VREF = VDD with gain = 1 or when VREF/2 = VDD with gain = 2. Linearity calculated using a reduced code range of 256 to 65,280 (AD5686) or 12 to 4080 (AD5684). 3 Guaranteed by design and characterization; not production tested. 4 Channel A and Channel B can have a combined output current of up to 30 mA. Similarly, Channel C and Channel D can have a combined output current of up to 30 mA up to a junction temperature of 110°C. 5 VDD = 5 V. The device includes current limiting that is intended to protect the device during temporary overload conditions. Junction temperature can be exceeded during current limit. Operation above the specified maximum operation junction temperature may impair device reliability. 6 When drawing a load current at either rail, the output voltage headroom with respect to that rail is limited by the 25 Ω typical channel resistance of the output devices. For example, when sinking 1 mA, the minimum output voltage = 25 Ω × 1 mA = 25 mV (see Figure 23). 7 Interface inactive. All DACs active. DAC outputs unloaded. 8 All DACs powered down. 1 2 Rev.

The output amplifier has rail-to-rail operation. Ground Reference Point for All Circuitry on the Part. Power Supply Input. These parts can be operated from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, and the supply should be decoupled with a 10 µF capacitor in parallel with a 0.1 µF capacitor to GND. Analog Output Voltage from DAC C. The output amplifier has rail-to-rail operation. Analog Output Voltage from DAC D. The output amplifier has rail-to-rail operation. Serial Data Output. Can be used to daisy-chain a number of AD5686/AD5684 devices together or can be used for readback. The serial data is transferred on the rising edge of SCLK and is valid on the falling edge of the clock. LDAC can be operated in two modes, asynchronously and synchronously. Pulsing this pin low allows any or all DAC registers to be updated if the input registers have new data. This allows all DAC outputs to be simultaneously updated. This pin can also be tied permanently low. Span Set Pin. When this pin is tied to GND, all four DAC outputs have a span from 0 V to VREF. When this pin is tied to VLOGIC, all four DAC outputs have a span from 0 V to 2 × VREF. Digital Power Supply. Voltage ranges from 1.8 V to 5.5 V. 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 of up to 50 MHz. Active Low Control Input. This is the frame synchronization signal for the input data. When SYNC goes low, data is transferred in on the falling edges of the next 24 clocks. Serial Data Input. These devices have a 24-bit input shift register. Data is clocked into the register on the falling edge of the serial clock input. Asynchronous Reset Input. The RESET input is falling edge sensitive. When RESET is low, all LDAC pulses are ignored. When RESET is activated, the input register and the DAC register are updated with zero scale or midscale, depending on the state of the RSTSEL pin. Power-On Reset Pin. Tying this pin to GND powers up all four DACs to zero scale. Tying this pin to VLOGIC powers up all four DACs to midscale. Reference Input Voltage. Analog Output Voltage from DAC B. The output amplifier has rail-to-rail operation. Exposed Pad. The exposed pad must be tied to GND. Rev.

A | Page 15 of 28 AD5686/AD5684 Data Sheet TERMINOLOGY Relative Accuracy or Integral Nonlinearity (INL) For the DAC, relative accuracy or integral nonlinearity is a measurement 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 is shown in Figure 8. Output Voltage Settling Time The output voltage setting time is the amount of time it takes for the output of a DAC to settle to a specified level for a ¼ to ¾ full-scale input change and is measured from the rising edge of SYNC. 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. These DACs are guaranteed monotonic by design. A typical DNL vs. code plot can be seen in Figure 10. 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 normally 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 (0x7FFF to 0x8000) (see Figure 30). Zero-Code Error Zero-code error is a measurement of the output error when zero code (0x0000) is loaded to the DAC register. Ideally, the output should be 0 V. The zero-code error is always positive in the AD5686/AD5684 because the output of the DAC cannot go below 0 V due to a combination of the offset errors in the DAC and the output amplifier. Zero-code error is expressed in mV. A plot of zero-code error vs. temperature can be seen in Figure 16. Full-Scale Error Full-scale error is a measurement of the output error when fullscale code (0xFFFF) 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 (% of FSR). A plot of full-scale error vs. temperature can be seen in Figure 15. Gain Error Gain error is a measurement of the span error of the DAC. It is the deviation in slope of the DAC transfer characteristic from the ideal expressed as % of FSR. Offset Error Drift Offset error drift is a measurement of the change in offset error with a change in temperature. It is expressed in µV/°C. Gain Temperature Coefficient Gain temperature coefficient is a measurement of the change in gain error with changes in temperature. It is expressed in ppm of FSR/°C. Offset Error Offset error is a measurement of the difference between VOUT (actual) and VOUT (ideal) expressed in mV in the linear region of the transfer function. It can be negative or positive. 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. Noise Spectral Density Noise spectral density is a measurement of the internally generated random noise. Random noise is characterized as a spectral density (nV/√Hz). It is measured by loading the DAC to midscale and measuring noise at the output. It is measured in nV/√Hz. DC Crosstalk DC 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 (or soft power-down and power-up) while monitoring another DAC kept at midscale. It is expressed in μV. DC crosstalk due to load current change is a measurment of the impact that a change in load current on one DAC has to another DAC kept at midscale. It is expressed in μV/mA. Digital Crosstalk Digital crosstalk is the glitch impulse transferred to the output of one DAC at midscale in response to a full-scale code change (all 0s to all 1s and vice versa) in the input register of another DAC. It is measured in standalone mode and is expressed in nV-sec. DC Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) DC PSRR indicates how the output of the DAC is affected by changes in the supply voltage. PSRR is the ratio of the change in VOUT to a change in VDD for full-scale output of the DAC. It is measured in mV/V. VREF is held at 2.5 V, and VDD is varied by ±10%. Rev. A | Page 16 of 28 Data Sheet AD5686/AD5684 Analog Crosstalk Analog crosstalk is the glitch impulse transferred to the output of one DAC due to a change in the output of another DAC. It is measured by loading one of the input registers with a full-scale code change (all 0s to all 1s and vice versa). Then execute a software LDAC and monitor the output of the DAC whose digital code was not changed. The area of the glitch is expressed in nV-sec. DAC-to-DAC Crosstalk DAC-to-DAC crosstalk is the glitch impulse transferred to the output of one DAC in response to a digital code change and subsequent analog output change of another DAC. It is measured by loading the attack channel with a full-scale code change (all 0s to all 1s and vice versa) using the write to and update commands while monitoring the output of another channel that is at midscale. The energy of the glitch is expressed in nV-sec. Multiplying Bandwidth The amplifiers within the DAC have a finite bandwidth. The multiplying bandwidth is a measure of this. A sine wave on the reference (with full-scale code loaded to the DAC) appears on the output. Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) THD is the difference between an ideal sine wave and its attenuated version using the DAC. The sine wave is used as the reference for the DAC, and the THD is a measurement of the harmonics present on the DAC output. It is measured in dB. Rev. A | Page 17 of 28 AD5686/AD5684 Data Sheet THEORY OF OPERATION DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG CONVERTER The AD5686/AD5684 are quad, 16-/12-bit, serial input, voltage output DACs. The parts operate from supply voltages of 2.7 V to 5.5 V. Data is written to the AD5686/AD5684 in a 24-bit word format via a 3-wire serial interface. The AD5686/AD5684 incorporate a power-on reset circuit to ensure that the DAC output powers up to a known output state. The devices also have a software power-down mode that reduces the typical current consumption to typically 4 µA. The resistor string structure is shown in Figure 37. It is a string of resistors, each of Value R. The code loaded to the DAC register determines the node on the string where the voltage is to be tapped off and fed into the output amplifier. The voltage is tapped off by closing one of the switches connecting the string to the amplifier. Because the DAC is a string of resistors, it is guaranteed monotonic. VREF R TRANSFER FUNCTION Because the input coding to the DAC is straight binary, the ideal output voltage when using an external reference is given by R D VOUT = VREF × Gain N 2 R DAC ARCHITECTURE The DAC architecture consists of a string DAC followed by an output amplifier. Figure 36 shows a block diagram of the DAC architecture. VREF RESISTOR STRING REF (–) GND VOUTX GAIN (GAIN = 1 OR 2) Figure 37. Resistor String Structure Output Amplifiers The output buffer amplifier can generate rail-to-rail voltages on its output, which gives an output range of 0 V to VDD. The actual range depends on the value of VREF, the GAIN pin, offset error, and gain error. The GAIN pin selects the gain of the output. • • 10797-052 DAC REGISTER R If this pin is tied to GND, all four outputs have a gain of 1, and the output range is 0 V to VREF. If this pin is tied to VDD, all four outputs have a gain of 2, and the output range is 0 V to 2 × VREF. These amplifiers are capable of driving a load of 1 kΩ in parallel with 2 nF to GND. The slew rate is 0.8 V/µs with a ¼ to ¾ scale settling time of 5 µs. REF (+) INPUT REGISTER R 10797-053 where: D is the decimal equivalent of the binary code that is loaded to the DAC register as follows: 0 to 4095 for the 12-bit device. 0 to 65,535 for the 16-bit device. N is the DAC resolution. VREF is the value of the external reference. Gain is the gain of the output amplifier and is set to 1 by default. The gain can be set to ×1 or ×2 using the gain select pin. When this pin is tied to GND, all four DAC outputs have a span of 0 V to VREF. When this pin is tied to VDD, all four DAC outputs have a span of 0 V to 2 × VREF. TO OUTPUT AMPLIFIER Figure 36.

See Figure 2 for a timing diagram of a typical write sequence. The AD5686/AD5684 contain an SDO pin to allow the user to daisychain multiple devices together (see the Daisy-Chain Operation section) or for readback.

AD5684 Input Shift Register Contents Rev. A | Page 19 of 28 AD5686/AD5684 Data Sheet STANDALONE OPERATION AD5686/ AD5684 68HC11* The write sequence begins by bringing the SYNC line low. Data from the SDIN line is clocked into the 24-bit input shift register on the falling edge of SCLK. After the last of 24 data bits is clocked in, SYNC should be brought high. The programmed function is then executed, that is, an LDAC-dependent change in DAC register contents and/or a change in the mode of operation. If SYNC is taken high at a clock before the 24th clock, it is considered a valid frame and invalid data may be loaded to the DAC. SYNC must be brought high for a minimum of 20 ns (single channel, see t8 in Figure 2) before the next write sequence so that a falling edge of SYNC can initiate the next write sequence. SYNC should be idle at rails between write sequences for even lower power operation of the part. The SYNC line is kept low for 24 falling edges of SCLK, and the DAC is updated on the rising edge of SYNC. MOSI SDIN SCK SCLK PC7 SYNC PC6 LDAC SDO MISO SDIN AD5686/ AD5684 SCLK SYNC LDAC SDO After data is transferred into the input register of the addressed DAC, all DAC registers and outputs can be updated by taking LDAC low while the SYNC line is high. SDIN AD5686/ AD5684 SCLK WRITE AND UPDATE COMMANDS SYNC Write to Input Register n (Dependent on LDAC) LDAC *ADDITIONAL PINS OMITTED FOR CLARITY. Figure 40. Daisy-Chaining the AD5686/AD5684 Update DAC Register n with Contents of Input Register n Command 0010 loads the DAC registers/outputs with the contents of the selected input registers and updates the DAC outputs directly. Write to and Update DAC Channel n (Independent of LDAC) Command 0011 allows the user to write to the DAC registers and update the DAC outputs directly. DAISY-CHAIN OPERATION For systems that contain several DACs, the SDO pin can be used to daisy-chain several devices together. This function is enabled through a software executable daisy-chain enable (DCEN) command. Command 1000 is reserved for this DCEN function (see Table 8). The daisy-chain mode is enabled by setting Bit DB0 in the DCEN register. The default setting is standalone mode, where DB0 = 0. Table 10 shows how the state of the bit corresponds to the mode of operation of the device. Table 10. Daisy-Chain Enable (DCEN) Register DB0 0 1 Description Standalone mode (default) DCEN mode 10797-057 SDO Command 0001 allows the user to write to each DAC’s dedicated input register individually. When LDAC is low, the input register is transparent (if not controlled by the LDAC mask register). The SCLK pin is continuously applied to the input shift register when SYNC is low. If more than 24 clock pulses are applied, the data ripples out of the input shift register and appears on the SDO line. This data is clocked out on the rising edge of SCLK and is valid on the falling edge. By connecting the SDO line to the SDIN input on the next DAC in the chain, a daisy-chain interface is constructed. Each DAC in the system requires 24 clock pulses. Therefore, the total number of clock cycles must equal 24 × N, where N is the total number of devices that are updated. If SYNC is taken high at a clock that is not a multiple of 24, it is considered a valid frame and invalid data may be loaded to the DAC. When the serial transfer to all devices is complete, SYNC is taken high. This latches the input data in each device in the daisy chain and prevents any further data from being clocked into the input shift register. The serial clock can be continuous or a gated clock. A continuous SCLK source can be used only if SYNC can be 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. Rev. A | Page 20 of 28 Data Sheet AD5686/AD5684 READBACK OPERATION Table 11. Modes of Operation Readback mode is invoked through a software executable readback command. If the SDO output is disabled via the daisychain mode disable bit in the control register, it is automatically enabled for the duration of the read operation, after which it is disabled again. Command 1001 is reserved for the readback function. This command, in association with selecting one of the address bits, DAC A to DAC D, selects the register to read. Note that only one DAC register can be selected during readback. The remaining three address bits must be set to Logic 0. The remaining data bits in the write sequence are don’t care bits. If more than one or no bits are selected, DAC Channel A is read back by default. During the next SPI write, the data appearing on the SDO output contains the data from the previously addressed register. Operating Mode Normal Operation Power-Down Modes 1 kΩ to GND 100 kΩ to GND Three-State 2. PDx0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 Any or all DACs (DAC A to DAC D) can be powered down to the selected mode by setting the corresponding bits. See Table 12 for the contents of the input shift register during the power-down/power-up operation. When both Bit PDx1 and Bit PDx0 (where x is the channel selected) in the input shift register are set to 0, the parts work normally with their normal power consumption of 0.59 mA at 5 V. However, for the three power-down modes, the supply current falls to 4 μA at 5 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 power-down options (see Table 11). The output is connected internally to GND through either a 1 kΩ or a 100 kΩ resistor, or it is left open-circuited (three-state). The output stage is illustrated in Figure 41. For example, to read back the DAC register for Channel A, the following sequence should be implemented: 1. PDx1 0 Write 0x900000 to the AD5686/AD5684 input register. This configures the part for read mode with the DAC register of Channel A selected. Note that all data bits, DB15 to DB0, are don’t care bits. Follow this with a second write, a NOP condition, 0x000000. During this write, the data from the register is clocked out on the SDO line. DB23 to DB20 contain undefined data, and the last 16 bits contain the DB19 to DB4 DAC register contents. AMPLIFIER DAC VOUTX POWER-DOWN OPERATION POWER-DOWN CIRCUITRY RESISTOR NETWORK 10797-058 The AD5686/AD5684 provide three separate power-down modes (see Table 11). Command 0100 is designated for the powerdown function (see Table 8). These power-down modes are software programmable by setting eight bits, Bit DB7 to Bit DB0, in the input shift register. Two bits are associated with each DAC channel. Table 11 shows how the state of the two bits corresponds to the mode of operation of the device. Figure 41. Output Stage During Power-Down The bias generator, output amplifier, resistor string, and other associated linear circuitry are shut down when the power-down mode is activated. However, the contents of the DAC registers are unaffected when in power-down. The DAC registers can be updated while the device is in power-down mode. The time required to exit power-down is typically 4.5 µs for VDD = 5 V.

The user can write to any combination of the input registers. Updates to the DAC register are controlled by the LDAC pin. Command 0101 is reserved for the software LDAC function. Address bits are ignored. Writing to the DAC using Command 0101 loads the 4-bit LDAC register (DB3 to DB0). The default for each channel is 0; that is, the LDAC pin works normally. Setting the bits to 1 forces this DAC channel to ignore transitions on the LDAC pin, regardless of the state of the hardware LDAC pin. This flexibility is useful in applications where the user wishes to select which channels respond to the LDAC pin. OUTPUT AMPLIFIER VREF 16-/12-BIT DAC LDAC DAC REGISTER VOUTX The LDAC register gives the user extra flexibility and control over the hardware LDAC pin (see Table 13). Setting the LDAC bits (DB3 to DB0) to 0 for a DAC channel means that this channel’s update is controlled by the hardware LDAC pin.

Deferred DAC Updating (LDAC Is Pulsed Low) LDAC is held high while data is clocked into the input register using Command 0001. All DAC outputs are asynchronously updated by taking LDAC low after SYNC has been taken high. The update now occurs on the falling edge of LDAC. Table 14.

A | Page 22 of 28 Data Sheet AD5686/AD5684 HARDWARE RESET (RESET) RESET SELECT PIN (RSTSEL) RESET is an active low reset that allows the outputs to be cleared to either zero scale or midscale. The clear code value is user selectable via the RESET select pin. It is necessary to keep RESET low for a minimum of 30 ns to complete the operation (see Figure 2). When the RESET signal is returned high, the output remains at the cleared value until a new value is programmed. The outputs cannot be updated with a new value while the RESET pin is low. There is also a software executable reset function that resets the DAC to the poweron reset code. Command 0110 is designated for this software reset function (see Table 8). Any events on LDAC or RESET during power-on reset are ignored. The AD5686/AD5684 contain a power-on reset circuit that controls the output voltage during power-up. By connecting the RSTSEL pin low, the output powers up to zero scale. Note that this is outside the linear region of the DAC. By connecting the RSTSEL pin high, VOUT powers up to midscale. The output remains powered up at this level until a valid write sequence is made to the DAC. Rev. A | Page 23 of 28 AD5686/AD5684 Data Sheet APPLICATIONS INFORMATION MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING LAYOUT GUIDELINES Microprocessor interfacing to the AD5686/AD5684 is via a serial bus that uses a standard protocol that is compatible with DSP processors and microcontrollers. The communications channel requires a 3- or 4-wire interface consisting of a clock signal, a data signal, and a synchronization signal. The devices require a 24-bit data-word with data valid on the rising edge of SYNC. In any circuit where accuracy is important, careful consideration of the power supply and ground return layout helps to ensure the rated performance. The PCB on which the AD5686/ AD5684 are mounted should be designed so that the AD5686/ AD5684 lie on the analog plane. AD5686/AD5684 TO ADSP-BF531 INTERFACE The SPI interface of the AD5686/AD5684 is designed to be easily connected to industry-standard DSPs and microcontrollers. Figure 43 shows the AD5686/AD5684 connected to the Analog Devices, Inc., Blackfin® DSP. The Blackfin has an integrated SPI port that can be connected directly to the SPI pins of the AD5686/AD5684.

ADSP-BF531 Interface AD5686/AD5684 TO SPORT INTERFACE The Analog Devices ADSP-BF527 has one SPORT serial port. Figure 44 shows how one SPORT interface can be used to control the AD5686/AD5684. The AD5686/AD5684 should have ample supply bypassing of 10 µF in parallel with 0.1 µF on each supply, located as close to the package as possible, ideally right up against the device. The 10 µF capacitors are the tantalum bead type. The 0.1 µF capacitor should have low effective series resistance (ESR) and low effective series inductance (ESI), such as the common ceramic types, which provide a low impedance path to ground at high frequencies to handle transient currents due to internal logic switching. In systems where there are many devices on one board, it is often useful to provide some heat sinking capability to allow the power to dissipate easily. The AD5686/AD5684 LFCSP models have an exposed pad beneath the device. Connect this pad to the GND supply for the part. For optimum performance, use special considerations to design the motherboard and to mount the package. For enhanced thermal, electrical, and board level performance, solder the exposed pad on the bottom of the package to the corresponding thermal land pad on the PCB. Design thermal vias into the PCB land pad area to further improve heat dissipation. The GND plane on the device can be increased (as shown in Figure 45) to provide a natural heat sinking effect.

The serial loading structure of the AD5686/AD5684 makes the part ideal for isolated interfaces because the number of interface lines is kept to a minimum. Figure 46 shows a 4-channel isolated interface to the AD5686/ AD5684 using an ADuM1400. For more information, visit http://www.analog.com/icouplers.
