AD5626
THEORY OF OPERATION
VDD
The AD5626 is a complete, ready-to-use, 12-bit digital-to-analog
converter (DAC). It contains a voltage-switched, 12-bit, lasertrimmed DAC, a curvature-corrected band gap reference, a
rail-to-rail output op amp, a DAC register, and a serial data
input register. The serial data interface consists of an SCLK,
serial data in (SDIN), and a load strobe (LDAC). This basic
3-wire interface offers maximum flexibility for interface to the
widest variety of serial data input loading requirements. In
addition, a CS select is provided for multiple packaging loading
and a power-on-reset CLR pin to simplify start or periodic resets.
DAC SECTION
The DAC is a 12-bit voltage mode device with an output that
swings from the GND potential to the 2.5 V internal band gap
voltage. It uses a laser trimmed, rail-to-rail ladder which is
switched by N-channel MOSFETs. The output voltage of the
DAC has a constant resistance independent of digital input
code. The DAC output internally connects to the rail-to-rail
output op amp.
AMPLIFIER SECTION
A low power consumption, precision amplifier buffers the DAC
output. This amplifier contains a differential PNP pair input
stage that provides low offset voltage and low noise, as well as
the ability to amplify the zero-scale DAC output voltages.
The rail-to-rail amplifier is configured with a gain of 1.6384
(= 4.095 V/2.5 V) to set the 4.095 V full-scale output (1 mV/LSB).
See Figure 23 for an equivalent circuit schematic of the analog
section.

Figure 24. Equivalent Analog Output Circuit
Figure 24 shows an equivalent output schematic of the rail-torail amplifier with its N-channel pull-down FETs that pull an
output load directly to GND. The output sourcing current is
provided by a P-channel pull-up device that can supply GND
terminated loads, especially at the low supply tolerance values
of 4.75 V. Figure 5 and Figure 6 provide information on output
swing performance near ground and full-scale as a function of
load. In addition to resistive load driving capability, the amplifier
has also been carefully designed and characterized for up to
500 pF capacitive load driving capability.
POWER SUPPLY
The very low power consumption of the AD5626 is a direct
result of a circuit design optimizing use of the CBCMOS process.
By using the low power characteristics of the CMOS for the
logic, and the low noise, tight matching of the complementary
bipolar transistors, good analog accuracy is achieved.
For power consumption sensitive applications, it is important
to note that the internal power consumption of the AD5626
is strongly dependent on the actual logic input voltage levels
present on the SDIN, CS, LDAC, and CLR pins. Because these
inputs are standard CMOS logic structures, they contribute
static power dissipation dependent on the actual driving
Logic VOH and Logic VOL voltage levels. The graph in Figure 9
shows the effect on total AD5626 supply current as a function
of the actual value of input logic voltage. Consequently, use of
CMOS logic vs. TTL minimizes power dissipation in the static
state. A VIL = 0 V on the SDIN, CS, and CLR pins provides the
lowest standby power dissipation of 2.5 mW (500 μA × 5 V).
As with any analog system, it is recommended that the AD5626
power supply be bypassed on the same PC card that contains
the chip. Figure 10 shows the power supply rejection vs. frequency
performance. This should be taken into account when using higher
frequency, switched mode power supplies with ripple frequencies
of 100 kHz and higher.
One advantage of the rail-to-rail output amplifier used in the
AD5626 is the wide range of usable supply voltage. The part is
fully specified and tested over temperature for operation from
4.75 V to 5.25 V. If reduced linearity and source current capability near full scale can be tolerated, operation of the AD5626
is possible down to 4.3 V. The minimum operating supply
Rev. 0 | Page 10 of 20
AD5626
voltage vs. load current plot, shown in Figure 11, provides
information for operation below VDD = 4.75 V.
TIMING AND CONTROL
The AD5626 has a separate serial input register from the
12-bit DAC register that allows preloading of a new data value
into the serial register without disturbing the present DAC
output voltage. After the new value is fully loaded in the serial
input register, it can be asynchronously transferred to the DAC
register by strobing the LDAC pin. The DAC register uses a
level sensitive LDAC strobe that should be returned high before
any new data is loaded into the serial input register. At any time,
the contents of the DAC register can be reset to zero by strobing
the CLR pin that causes the DAC output voltage to go to zero
volts. Figure 2 details all of the timing requirements together
with Table 5, the control logic truth table.

AD5626
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
All precision converter products require careful application of
good grounding practices to maintain full rated performance.
Because the AD5626 has been designed for 5 V applications, it
is ideal for those applications under microprocessor or microcomputer control. In these applications, digital noise is prevalent;
therefore, special care must be taken to ensure that its inherent
precision is maintained by exercising particularly good engineering
judgment when addressing the power supply, grounding, and
bypassing issues using the AD5626.
Use a well-filtered and regulated power supply for the AD5626.
The device has been completely characterized for a 5 V supply
with a tolerance of ±5%. Because a 5 V logic supply is almost
universally available, it is not recommended to connect the
DAC directly to an unfiltered logic supply without careful
filtering. Tapping a logic circuit supply for the DAC supply
is unwise because fast logic with nanosecond transition edges
induce high current pulses. The high transient current pulses
can generate glitches hundreds of millivolts in amplitude due
to wiring resistances and inductances. This high frequency
noise corrupts the analog circuits internal to the DAC and
causes errors.
Even though their spike noise is lower in amplitude, directly
tapping the output of a 5 V system supply can cause errors
because these supplies are of the switching regulator type that
can and do generate a great deal of high frequency noise. Therefore, power the DAC and any associated analog circuitry directly
from the system power supply outputs using appropriate filtering.
Figure 25 illustrates how a clean, analog-grade supply can be
generated from a 5 V logic supply using a differential LC filter
with separate power supply and return lines. With the values
shown, this filter can easily handle 100 mA of load current
without saturating the ferrite cores. Higher current capacity
can be achieved with larger ferrite cores. For lowest noise, all
electrolytic capacitors should be of the low equivalent series
resistance (ESR) type.
Figure 26 shows how the ground and bypass connections
should be made to the AD5626.

To fit the AD5626 in an 8-lead package, only one ground
connection to the device is accommodated. The ground
connection of the DAC serves as the return path for supply
currents as well as the reference point for the digital input
thresholds. The ground connection also serves as the supply rail

for the internal voltage reference and the output amplifier.
Therefore, to minimize errors, connect the ground connection
of the AD5626 to a high quality analog ground, such as the one
previously described. Generous bypassing of the DACs supply
effectively reduces supply line induced errors. Local supply
bypassing consisting of a 10 μF tantalum electrolytic capacitor
in parallel with a 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor is recommended.
Connect the decoupling capacitors between the DAC supply
pin (Pin 1) and the analog ground (Pin 7).

specified to be ±3 LSBs. Because zero scale coincides with zero
volt, it is not possible to measure negative offset error.
5V
Although the AD5626 has been specified to operate on a single,
5 V supply, a single 5 V supply may not be available in many
applications. Because the AD5626 consumes no more than 2.5 mA
maximum, an integrated voltage reference, such as the ADR02,
can be used as the 5 V supply for the AD5626. See Figure 28 for
the circuit configuration. Notice that the output voltage of the
reference requires no trimming because of the excellent load
regulation and tight initial output voltage tolerance of the ADR02.
Although the maximum supply current of the AD5626 is 2.5 mA,
local bypassing of the ADR02 output with at least 0.1 μF at the
DAC voltage supply pin is recommended to prevent the internal
digital circuits of the DAC from affecting the internal voltage
reference of the DAC.

Although the AD5626 has been designed for single-supply
operation, bipolar operation is achievable using the circuit
illustrated in Figure 30. The circuit uses a single-supply, railto-rail OP295 op amp and the REF03 to generate the −2.5 V
reference required to level shift the DAC output voltage.

By adding a pull-down resistor from the output of the AD5626
to a negative supply as shown in Figure 29, offset errors can be
read at zero code. This configuration forces the output P-channel
MOSFET to source current to the negative supply thereby allowing
the designer to determine in which direction the offset error
appears. The value of the resistor should be such that, at zero
code, current through the resistor is 200 μA, maximum.

MEASURING OFFSET ERROR
One of the most commonly specified endpoint errors associated
with real world nonideal DACs is offset error. In most DAC
testing, the offset error is measured by applying the zero-scale
code and measuring the output deviation from 0 V.
There are some DACs where offset errors are present but not
observable at the zero scale because of other circuit limitations
(for example, zero coinciding with single-supply ground). In
these DACs, nonzero output at zero code cannot be read as the
offset error. In the AD5626, for example, the zero-scale error is
Note that the −2.5 V reference is generated without the use of
precision resistors. The circuit configuration provides an output
voltage in the range of −5 V ≤ VOUT ≤ +5 V and is coded in complementary offset binary. Although each DAC LSB corresponds to
1 mV, each output LSB has been scaled to 2.44 mV. Table 7 lists
the relationship between the digital codes and output voltage.

For applications that do not require high accuracy, the circuit
illustrated in Figure 31 can also be used to generate a bipolar
output voltage. In this circuit, only one op amp is used and no
potentiometers are used for offset and gain trim. The output

In many process control type applications, it is necessary to

being controlled to protect and isolate the controlling circuitry
from any hazardous common-mode voltages that may occur.
An iCoupler® can provide isolation in excess of 2.5 kV. The
serial loading structure of the AD5626 makes it ideal for
isolated interfaces as the number of interface lines is kept to
a minimum. Figure 34 illustrates a 4-channel isolated interface
using an ADuM1400. For further information, visit

The circuit in Figure 33 shows how the AD5626 can be used
with an OP295 single-supply, rail-to-rail, output op amp to
provide a digitally programmable current sink from VSOURCE
that consumes less than 3.8 mA, maximum. The DAC output
voltage is applied across R1 by placing the 2N2222 transistor in
the feedback loop of the OP295. For the circuit values shown,
the full-scale output current is 1 mA, which is given by the

The remaining four inverters are wired in parallel for higher

to a negative-going signal rectified using a pair of 1N4001s, and
then filtered by C3. With the values shown, the charge pump
provides an output voltage of −5 V for currents loading in the

IOUT ≤ 7 mA with a 12 V supply.

Figure 32 shows a method for generating a negative supply
voltage using one CD4049, a CMOS hexadecimal inverter, and
operating on 12 V or 15 V. The circuit is essentially a charge
pump where two of the six inverters are used as an oscillator.
For the values shown, the frequency of oscillation is approximately 3.5 kHz and is fairly insensitive to supply voltage
because R1 > 2 × R2.

AD5626 to MC68HC11 Interface
The circuit illustrated in Figure 35 shows a serial interface
between the AD5626 and the MC68HC11 8-bit microcontroller.
SCK of the MC68HC11 drives SCLK of the AD5626, whereas
the MOSI output drives the serial data line, SDIN, of the AD5626.
The CLR, LDAC, and CS signals of the DAC are derived from
the PC1, PD5, and PC0 port lines, respectively, as shown.
For correct operation of the serial interface, configure the
MC68HC11 such that its CPOL bit is set to 1 and its CPHA bit
is also set to 1. When the serial data is to be transmitted to the
DAC, PC0 is taken low, asserting the CS input of the DAC. When
the MC68HC11 is configured in this manner, serial data on
MOSI is valid on the rising edge of SCLK. The MC68HC11
transmits its serial data in 8-bit bytes (MSB first), with only
eight rising clock edges occurring in the transmit cycle. To load
data to the input serial register of the AD5626, PC0 is left low
after the first eight bits are transferred, and a second byte of
data is then transferred serially to the AD5626. During the
second byte load, the first 4 MSBs of the first byte are pushed
out of the input shift register of the DAC. At the end of the
second byte load, PC0 is taken high. To prevent accidental
advancing of the internal shift register, SCLK must already be
asserted before PC0 is taken high. To transfer the contents of
the input shift register to the DAC register, PD5 is taken low,
asserting the LDAC input. The CLR input of the DAC, controlled
by the MC68HC11 PC1 port, provides an asynchronous clear
function, setting the DAC output to zero.
