The AD5744R is a quad, 14-bit, serial input, bipolar voltage output
DAC that operates from supply voltages of ±11.4 V to ±16.5 V.
Nominal full-scale output range is ±10 V. The AD5744R provides
integrated output amplifiers, reference buffers, and proprietary
power-up/power-down control circuitry. The part also features
a digital I/O port, programmed via the serial interface, and an
analog temperature sensor. The part incorporates digital offset
and gain adjust registers per channel.
APPLICATIONS
Industrial automation
Open-loop/closed-loop servo control
Process control
Data acquisition systems
Automatic test equipment
Automotive test and measurement
High accuracy instrumentation
The AD5744R is a high performance converter that provides
guaranteed monotonicity, integral nonlinearity (INL) of ±1 LSB,
low noise, and 10 μs settling time. The AD5744R includes an onchip 5 V reference with a reference temperature coefficient of
10 ppm/°C maximum. During power-up when the supply voltages
are changing, VOUTx is clamped to 0 V via a low impedance path.
The AD5744R is based on the iCMOS® technology platform, which
is designed for analog systems designers within industrial/instrumentation equipment OEMs who need high performance ICs at
higher voltage levels. iCMOS enables the development of analog
ICs capable of 30 V and operation at ±15 V supplies, while allowing
reductions in power consumption and package size, coupled with
increased ac and dc performance.
The AD5744R uses a serial interface that operates at clock rates
of up to 30 MHz and is compatible with DSP and microcontroller
interface standards. Double buffering allows the simultaneous
updating of all DACs. The input coding is programmable to either
twos complement or offset binary formats. The asynchronous clear
function clears all DAC registers to either bipolar zero or zero scale,
depending on the coding used. The AD5744R is ideal for both
closed-loop servo control and open-loop control applications. The
AD5744R is available in a 32-lead TQFP and offers guaranteed
specifications over the −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature
range (see Figure 1 for the functional block diagram).

Description
Active Low Input. This is the frame synchronization signal for the serial interface. While SYNC is low, data is transferred
in on the falling edge of SCLK.
Serial Clock Input. Data is clocked into the shift register on the falling edge of SCLK. This operates at clock
speeds of up to 30 MHz.
Serial Data Input. Data must be valid on the falling edge of SCLK.
Serial Data Output. This pin is used to clock data from the serial register in daisy-chain or readback mode.
Negative Edge Triggered Input. 1 Asserting this pin sets the DAC registers to 0x0000.
Load DAC. This logic input is used to update the DAC registers and, consequently, the analog outputs. When
tied permanently low, the addressed DAC register is updated on the rising edge of SYNC. If LDAC is held high
during the write cycle, the DAC input register is updated, but the output update is held off until the falling edge
of LDAC. In this mode, all analog outputs can be updated simultaneously on the falling edge of LDAC. The LDAC
pin must not be left unconnected.
Digital I/O Port. D0 and D1 form a digital I/O port. The user can set up these pins as inputs or outputs that are
configurable and readable over the serial interface. When configured as inputs, these pins have weak internal
pull-ups to DVCC. When programmed as outputs, D0 and D1 are referenced by DVCC and DGND.
Reset Logic Output. This is the output from the on-chip voltage monitor used in the reset circuit. If desired, it
can be used to control other system components.
Reset Logic Input. This input allows external access to the internal reset logic. Applying a Logic 0 to this input clamps
the DAC outputs to 0 V. In normal operation, RSTIN should be tied to Logic 1. Register values remain unchanged.
Digital Ground Pin.
Digital Supply Pin. Voltage ranges from 2.7 V to 5.25 V.
Positive Analog Supply Pins. Voltage ranges from 11.4 V to 16.5 V.
Ground Reference Point for Analog Circuitry.
Negative Analog Supply Pins. Voltage ranges from –11.4 V to –16.5 V.
This pin is used in association with an optional external resistor to AGND to program the short-circuit current of
the output amplifiers. Refer to the Design Features section for more information.
Ground Reference Pin for DAC D Output Amplifier.
Analog Output Voltage of DAC D. Buffered output with a nominal full-scale output range of ±10 V. The output
amplifier is capable of directly driving a 10 kΩ, 200 pF load.
Analog Output Voltage of DAC C. Buffered output with a nominal full-scale output range of ±10 V. The output
amplifier is capable of directly driving a 10 kΩ, 200 pF load.
Ground Reference Pin for DAC C Output Amplifier.
Ground Reference Pin for DAC B Output Amplifier.

Description
Analog Output Voltage of DAC A. Buffered output with a nominal full-scale output range of ±10 V. The output
amplifier is capable of directly driving a 10 kΩ, 200 pF load.
Ground Reference Pin for DAC A Output Amplifier.
External Reference Voltage Input for Channel A and Channel B. The reference input range is 1 V to 7 V, and it
programs the full-scale output voltage. REFIN = 5 V for specified performance.
External Reference Voltage Input for Channel C and Channel D. The reference input range is 1 V to 7 V, and it
programs the full-scale output voltage. REFIN = 5 V for specified performance.
Reference Output. This is the reference output from the internal voltage reference. The internal reference is 5 V ±
3 mV at 25°C, with a reference temperature coefficient of 10 ppm/°C.
Reference Ground Return for the Reference Generator and Buffers.
This pin provides an output voltage proportional to temperature. The output voltage is 1.47 V typical at 25°C die
temperature; variation with temperature is 5 mV/°C.
This pin determines the DAC coding. This pin should be hardwired to either DVCC or DGND. When hardwired to
DVCC, input coding is offset binary (see Table 7). When hardwired to DGND, input coding is twos complement
(see Table 8).
Internal pull-up device on this logic input. Therefore, it can be left floating; and it defaults to a logic high condition.

TERMINOLOGY
Relative Accuracy or Integral Nonlinearity (INL)
For the DAC, a measure of the maximum deviation, in LSBs,
from a straight line passing through the endpoints of the DAC
transfer function.
Total Unadjusted Error (TUE)
A measure of the output error, considering all the various
errors. Figure 19 shows a plot of total unadjusted error vs.
reference voltage.
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)
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.
Zero-Scale Error Temperature Coefficient
A measure of the change in zero-scale error with a change in
temperature. It is expressed as parts per million of full-scale
range per degree Celsius (ppm FSR/°C).
Monotonicity
A DAC is monotonic if the output either increases or remains
constant for increasing digital input code. The AD5744R is
monotonic over its full operating temperature range.
Bipolar Zero Error
The deviation of the analog output from the ideal half-scale
output of 0 V when the DAC register is loaded with 0x8000
(offset binary coding) or 0x0000 (twos complement coding).
Figure 22 shows a plot of bipolar zero error vs. temperature.
Bipolar Zero Temperature Coefficient
The measure of the change in the bipolar zero error with a
change in temperature. It is expressed as parts per million of
full-scale range per degree Celsius (ppm FSR/°C).
Full-Scale Error
The measure of the output error when full-scale code is loaded
to the DAC register. Ideally, the output voltage should be 2 ×
VREFIN − 1 LSB. Full-scale error is expressed as a percentage of
full-scale range (% FSR).
Gain Error Temperature Coefficient
A measure of the change in gain error with changes in temperature. It is expressed as parts per million of full-scale range per
degree Celsius (ppm FSR/°C).
Digital-to-Analog Glitch Energy
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 nanovolt-seconds (nV-sec) and is
measured when the digital input code is changed by 1 LSB at the
major carry transition (0x7FFF to 0x8000), as shown in Figure 28.
Digital Feedthrough
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 nanovolt-seconds
(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.
Power Supply Sensitivity
Indicates how the output of the DAC is affected by changes in
the power supply voltage.
Negative Full-Scale Error/Zero-Scale Error
The error in the DAC output voltage when 0x0000 (offset binary
coding) or 0x8000 (twos complement coding) is loaded to the
DAC register. Ideally, the output voltage should be −2 × VREFIN.
Figure 21 shows a plot of zero-scale error vs. temperature.
DC Crosstalk
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 fullscale output change on one DAC while monitoring another
DAC, and is expressed in least significant bits (LSBs).
Output Voltage Settling Time
The amount of time it takes for the output to settle to a specified
level for a full-scale input change.
DAC-to-DAC Crosstalk
The glitch impulse transferred to the output of one DAC due
to a digital code change and subsequent output change of
another DAC. This includes both digital and analog crosstalk.
It is measured by loading one of the DACs with a full-scale code
change (from all 0s to all 1s, and vice versa) with LDAC low and
monitoring the output of another DAC. The energy of the glitch
is expressed in nanovolt-seconds (nV-sec).
Slew Rate
A limitation in the rate of change of the output voltage. The output
slewing speed of a voltage output DAC is usually limited by the
slew rate of the amplifier used at its output. Slew rate is measured
from 10% to 90% of the output signal and is given in volts per
microsecond (V/μs).
Gain Error
A measure of the span error of the DAC. It is the deviation in
slope of the DAC transfer characteristic from the ideal, expressed
as a percentage of the full-scale range (% FSR). Figure 23 shows
a plot of gain error vs. temperature.
Channel-to-Channel Isolation
The ratio of the amplitude of the signal at the output of one DAC
to a sine wave on the reference input of another DAC. It is
measured in decibels (dB).
Reference Temperature Coefficient
A measure of the change in the reference output voltage with
a change in temperature. It is expressed in parts per million per
degree Celsius (ppm/°C).
Rev. A | Page 19 of 32
AD5744R
Digital Crosstalk
A measure of the impulse injected into the analog output of one
DAC from the digital inputs of another DAC but is measured
when the DAC output is not updated. It is specified in nanovoltseconds (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.
Thermal Hysteresis
The change of reference output voltage after the device is cycled
through temperatures from −40°C to +85°C and back to −40°C.
This is a typical value from a sample of parts put through such
a cycle.
Rev. A | Page 20 of 32
AD5744R
THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD5744R is a quad, 14-bit, serial input, bipolar voltage output
DAC that operates from supply voltages of ±11.4 V to ±16.5 V and
has a buffered output voltage of up to ±10.5263 V. Data is written to
the AD5744R in a 24-bit word format via a 3-wire serial interface.
The AD5744R also offers an SDO pin that is available for daisy
chaining or readback.
SERIAL INTERFACE
The AD5744R incorporates a power-on reset circuit that ensures
that the DAC registers are loaded with 0x0000 at power-up. The
AD5744R features a digital I/O port that can be programmed via
the serial interface, an analog die temperature sensor, on-chip
10 ppm/°C voltage reference, on-chip reference buffers, and per
channel digital gain and offset registers.
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. The input register consists of a read/write bit,
a reserved bit that must be set to 0, three register select bits, three
DAC address bits, and 16 data bits, as shown in Table 9. The timing
diagram for this operation is shown in Figure 2.
DAC ARCHITECTURE
Upon power-up, the DAC registers are loaded with zero code
(0x0000), and the outputs are clamped to 0 V via a low impedance
path. The outputs can be updated with the zero code value by
asserting either LDAC or CLR. The corresponding output voltage
depends on the state of the BIN/2sCOMP pin. If the BIN/2sCOMP
pin is tied to DGND, the data coding is twos complement and the
outputs update to 0 V. If the BIN/2sCOMP pin is tied to DVCC,
the data coding is offset binary and the outputs update to negative
full scale. To have the outputs power-up with zero code loaded
to the outputs, the CLR pin should be held low during power-up.
The DAC architecture of the AD5744R consists of a 14-bit current
mode segmented R-2R DAC. The simplified circuit diagram for
the DAC section is shown in Figure 39.

12-BIT, R-2R LADDER
Figure 39. DAC Ladder Structure
The four MSBs of the 14-bit data-word are decoded to drive
15 switches, E1 to E15. Each of these switches connects one of
the 15 matched resistors to either AGNDx or IOUT. The remaining
12 bits of the data-word drive Switch S0 to Switch S11 of the 12-bit
R-2R ladder network.
REFERENCE BUFFERS
The AD5744R can operate with either an external or an internal
reference. The reference inputs (REFAB and REFCD) have an
input range of up to 7 V. This input voltage is then used to provide
a buffered positive and negative reference for the DAC cores.
The positive reference is given by
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 register addressed 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.
When the data has been transferred into the chosen register of
the addressed DAC, all DAC registers and outputs can be
updated by taking LDAC low.
+VREF = 2 × VREFIN
The negative reference to the DAC cores is given by
−VREF = −2 × VREFIN
These positive and negative reference voltages (along with the
gain register values) define the output ranges of the DACs.

AD5744R
the system requires 24 clock pulses. Therefore, the total number
of clock cycles must equal 24n, where n is the total number of
AD5744R devices in the chain. 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 a continuous or a gated clock.

Daisy-Chain Operation
For systems that contain several devices, the SDO pin can be
used to daisy-chain several devices together. This daisy-chain
mode can be useful in system diagnostics and in reducing the
number of serial interface lines. The first falling edge of SYNC
starts the write cycle. The SCLK 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 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 of the first device to the SDIN input of the next device in
the chain, a multidevice interface is constructed. Each device in
Before a readback operation is initiated, the SDO pin must be
enabled by writing to the function register and clearing the SDO
disable bit; this bit is cleared by default. Readback mode is invoked
by setting the R/W bit to 1 in the serial input register write.
With R/W set to 1, Bit A2 to Bit A0, in association with Bit REG2,
to Bit REG0, select the register to be read. The remaining data
bits in the write sequence are don’t care. During the next SPI write,
the data appearing on the SDO output contain the data from the
previously addressed register. For a read of a single register, the
NOP command can be used in clocking out the data from the
selected register on SDO. The readback diagram in Figure 4 shows
the readback sequence. For example, to read back the fine gain
register of Channel A, implement the following sequence:
1.
2.
Rev. A | Page 22 of 32
Write 0xA0XXXX to the input register. This write configures
the AD5744R for read mode with the fine gain register of
Channel A selected. Note that all the data bits, DB15 to DB0,
are don’t care.
Follow with a second write: an NOP condition, 0x00XXXX.
During this write, the data from the fine gain register is
clocked out on the SDO line; that is, data clocked out contains
the data from the fine gain register in Bit DB5 to Bit DB0.

SIMULTANEOUS UPDATING VIA LDAC
TRANSFER FUNCTION
Depending on the status of both SYNC and LDAC, and after
data has been transferred into the input register of the DACs,
there are two ways to update the DAC registers and DAC outputs.
Table 7 and Table 8 show the ideal input code to output voltage
relationship for offset binary data coding and twos complement
data coding, respectively.
Individual DAC Updating
The output voltage expression for the AD5744R is given by
In individual DAC updating mode, LDAC is held low while data
is being clocked into the input shift register. The addressed
DAC output is updated on the rising edge of SYNC.
Simultaneous Updating of All DACs
In simultaneous updating of all DACs mode, LDAC is held high
while data is being clocked into the input shift register. All DAC
outputs are updated by taking LDAC low any time after SYNC
has been taken high. The update then occurs on the falling edge
of LDAC.
See Figure 41 for a simplified block diagram of the DAC load
circuitry.

ASYNCHRONOUS CLEAR (CLR)
CLR is a negative edge triggered clear that allows the outputs to
be cleared to either 0 V (twos complement coding) or negative full
scale (offset binary coding). It is necessary to maintain CLR low
for a minimum amount of time for the operation to complete
(see Figure 2). When the CLR signal is returned high, the output
remains at the cleared value until a new value is programmed.
If CLR is at 0 V at power-on, all DAC outputs are updated with
the clear value. A clear can also be initiated through software by
writing the command of 0x04XXXX to the AD5744R.

DESIGN FEATURES
ANALOG OUTPUT CONTROL
In many industrial process control applications, it is vital that
the output voltage be controlled during power-up and during
brownout conditions. When the supply voltages are changing,
the VOUTx pins are clamped to 0 V via a low impedance path.
To prevent the output amp from being shorted to 0 V during this
time, Transmission Gate G1 is also opened (see Figure 42).

AND

Figure 42. Analog Output Control Circuitry
These conditions are maintained until the power supplies stabilize
and a valid word is written to the DAC register. G2 then opens, and
G1 closes. Both transmission gates are also externally controllable
via the reset in (RSTIN) control input. For example, if RSTIN is
driven from a battery supervisor chip, the RSTIN input is driven
low to open G1 and close G2 on power-off or during a brownout.
Conversely, the on-chip voltage detector output (RSTOUT) is
also available to the user to control other parts of the system.
The basic transmission gate functionality is shown in Figure 42.
PROGRAMMABLE SHORT-CIRCUIT PROTECTION
The short-circuit current (ISC) of the output amplifiers can be
programmed by inserting an external resistor between the ISCC
pin and the PGND pin. The programmable range for the current is
500 μA to 10 mA, corresponding to a resistor range of 120 kΩ to
6 kΩ . The resistor value is calculated as follows:
R≈
60
I SC
DIGITAL I/O PORT
The AD5744R contains a 2-bit digital I/O port (D1 and D0).
These bits can be configured independently as inputs or outputs
and can be driven or have their values read back via the serial
interface. The I/O port signals are referenced to DVCC and DGND.
When configured as outputs, they can be used as control signals
to multiplexers or can be used to control calibration circuitry
elsewhere in the system. When configured as inputs, the logic
signals from limit switches, for example, can be applied to D0
and D1 and can be read back using the digital interface.
RSTIN
AGNDA
If the ISCC pin is left unconnected, the short-circuit current
limit defaults to 5 mA. It should be noted that limiting the shortcircuit current to a small value can affect the slew rate of the
output when driving into a capacitive load. Therefore, the value
of the short-circuit current that is programmed should take into
account the size of the capacitive load being driven.
The on-chip die temperature sensor provides a voltage output that
is linearly proportional to the Celsius temperature scale. Its nominal output voltage is 1.47 V at 25°C die temperature, varying at
5 mV/°C, giving a typical output range of 1.175 V to 1.9 V over the
full temperature range. Its low output impedance and linear output
simplify interfacing to temperature control circuitry and analog-todigital converters (ADCs). The temperature sensor is provided
as more of a convenience than as a precise feature; it is intended
for indicating a die temperature change for recalibration purposes.
LOCAL GROUND OFFSET ADJUST
The AD5744R incorporates a local ground offset adjust feature
that, when enabled in the function register, adjusts the DAC
outputs for voltage differences between the individual DAC ground
pins and the REFGND pin, ensuring that the DAC output voltages
are always referenced to the local DAC ground pin. For example, if
the AGNDA pin is at +5 mV with respect to the REFGND pin, and
VOUTA is measured with respect to AGNDA, a −5 mV error
results, enabling the local ground offset adjust feature to adjust
VOUTA by +5 mV, thereby eliminating the error.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
TYPICAL OPERATING CIRCUIT
Figure 43 shows the typical operating circuit for the AD5744R.
The only external components needed for this precision 14-bit
DAC are decoupling capacitors on the supply pins and reference
inputs and an optional short-circuit current setting resistor.
Because the AD5744R incorporates a voltage reference and
reference buffers, it eliminates the need for an external bipolar
reference and associated buffers, resulting in an overall savings
in both cost and board space.
In Figure 43, AVDD is connected to +15 V, and AVSS is connected
to −15 V; but AVDD and AVSS can operate with supplies from
±11.4 V to ±16.5 V. In Figure 43, AGNDx is connected to
REFGND.
Precision Voltage Reference Selection
To achieve the optimum performance from the AD5744R over
its full operating temperature range, an external voltage reference
must be used. Care must be taken in the selection of a precision
voltage reference. The AD5744R has two reference inputs, REFAB
and REFCD. The voltages applied to the reference inputs are used
to provide a buffered positive and negative reference for the DAC
cores. Therefore, any error in the voltage reference is reflected
in the outputs of the device.
There are four possible sources of error to consider when choosing
a voltage reference for high accuracy applications: initial accuracy,
temperature coefficient of the output voltage, long term drift,
and output voltage noise.
Initial accuracy error on the output voltage of an external reference could lead to a full-scale error in the DAC. Therefore, to
minimize these errors, a reference with low initial accuracy
error specification is preferred. Choosing a reference with an
output trim adjustment, such as the ADR425, allows a system
designer to trim system errors out by setting the reference
voltage to a voltage other than the nominal. The trim adjustment
can also be used at temperature to trim out any error.
Long term drift is a measure of how much the reference output
voltage drifts over time. A reference with a tight long-term drift
specification ensures that the overall solution remains relatively
stable over its entire lifetime.
The temperature coefficient of a reference output voltage affects
INL, DNL, and TUE. A reference with a tight temperature coefficient specification should be chosen to reduce the dependence
of the DAC output voltage on ambient conditions.
In high accuracy applications, which have a relatively low noise
budget, reference output voltage noise must be considered. It is
important to choose a reference with as low an output noise
voltage as practical for the system resolution that is required.
Precision voltage references, such as the ADR435 (XFET® design),
produce low output noise in the 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz region. However,
as the circuit bandwidth increases, filtering the output of the
reference may be required to minimize the output noise.

LAYOUT GUIDELINES
In any circuit where accuracy is important, careful consideration of the power supply and ground return layout helps to ensure
the rated performance. Design the PCB on which the AD5744R
is mounted such that the analog and digital sections are separated
and confined to certain areas of the board. If the AD5744R is in
a system where multiple devices require an AGNDx-to-DGND
connection, establish the connection at one point only. Establish
the star ground point as close as possible to the device. The
AD5744R 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 of 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 that
provide a low impedance path to ground at high frequencies to
handle transient currents due to internal logic switching.
The power supply lines of the AD5744R should use as large a
trace as possible to provide low impedance paths and reduce
the effects of glitches on the power supply line. Shield fastswitching signals, such as clocks with digital ground to avoid
radiating noise to other parts of the board; they should never be
run near the reference inputs. A ground line routed between
the SDIN and SCLK lines helps reduce cross-talk between them.
(A ground line is not required on a multi-layer board because
it has a separate ground plane; however, it is helpful to separate
the lines.) It is essential to minimize noise on the reference inputs
because it couples through to the DAC output. Avoid crossover
of digital and analog signals. Run traces on opposite sides of the
board at right angles to each other to reduce the effects of feed-

GALVANICALLY ISOLATED INTERFACE
In many process control applications, it is necessary to provide
an isolation barrier between the controller and the unit being
controlled to protect and isolate the controlling circuitry from
any hazardous common-mode voltages that may occur. Isocouplers provide voltage isolation in excess of 2.5 kV. The serial
loading structure of the AD5744R makes it ideal for isolated
interfaces because the number of interface lines is kept to a minimum. Figure 44 shows a 4-channel isolated interface to the
AD5744R using an ADuM1400 iCoupler® product. For more
information on iCoupler products, refer to www.analog.com.
MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING
Microprocessor interfacing to the AD5744R is accomplished
using a serial bus that uses standard protocol that is compatible
with microcontrollers and DSP processors. The communications
channel is a 3-wire (minimum) interface consisting of a clock
signal, a data signal, and a synchronization signal. The AD5744R
requires a 24-bit data-word with data valid on the falling edge
of SCLK.
For all the interfaces, a DAC output update can be performed
automatically when all the data is clocked in, or it can be done
under the control of LDAC. The contents of the DAC register
can be read using the readback function.
