GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5425 is a CMOS 8-bit current output digital-to-analog
converter that operates from a 2.5 V to 5.5 V power supply,
making it suited to battery-powered applications and many
other applications.
This DAC utilizes a double buffered 3-wire serial interface that
is compatible with SPI®, QSPI™, MICROWIRE™, and most
DSP interface standards. In addition, an LDAC pin is provided,
which allows simultaneous update in a multi-DAC configuration.
On power-up, the internal shift register and latches are filled
with 0s and the DAC outputs are at 0 V.

As a result of processing on a CMOS submicron process, this
DAC offers excellent 4-quadrant multiplication characteristics,
with large signal multiplying bandwidths of 10 MHz.
The applied external reference input voltage (VREF) determines
the full-scale output current. An integrated feedback resistor (RFB)
provides temperature tracking and full-scale voltage output
when combined with an external I-to-V precision amplifier.
The AD5425 DAC is available in a small 10-lead MSOP package.

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
AD5425 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent 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.

DAC Analog Ground. This pin should normally be tied to the analog ground of the system.
Digital Ground Pin.
Serial Clock Input. Data is clocked into the input shift register on each falling edge of the serial clock input.
This device can accommodate clock rates of up to 50 MHz.
Serial Data Input. Data is clocked into the 8-bit input register on each falling edge of the serial clock input.
Active Low Control Input. This is the frame synchronization signal for the input data. When SYNC goes
low, it powers on the SCLK and DIN buffers and the input shift register is enabled. Data is transferred on
each falling edge of the following 8 clocks.
Load DAC Input. Updates the DAC output. The DAC is updated when this signal goes low or alternatively,
if this line is held permanently low, an automatic update mode is selected whereby the DAC is updated
after 8 SCLK falling edges with SYNC low.
Positive Power Supply Input. This part can be operated from a supply of 2.5 V to 5.5 V.
DAC Reference Voltage Input Terminal.
DAC Feedback Resistor Pin. Establishes voltage output for the DAC by connecting to external amplifier output.

TERMINOLOGY
Relative Accuracy
depending upon whether the glitch is measured as a current or
voltage signal.
Relative accuracy or endpoint nonlinearity is a measure of the
maximum deviation from a straight line passing through the endpoints of the DAC transfer function. It is measured after adjusting
for zero and full scale and is normally expressed in LSBs or as a
percentage of full-scale reading.
Digital Feedthrough
Differential Nonlinearity
Multiplying Feedthrough Error
When the device is not selected, high frequency logic activity on
the device digital inputs is capacitively coupled through the
device to show up as noise on the IOUT pins and subsequently
into the following circuitry. This noise is digital feedthrough.
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 max over
the operating temperature range ensures monotonicity.
This is the error due to capacitive feedthrough from the DAC
reference input to the DAC IOUT1 terminal, when all 0s are
loaded to the DAC.
Gain Error
The DAC is driven by an ac reference. The ratio of the rms sum
of the harmonics of the DAC output to the fundamental value is
the THD. Usually only the lower order harmonices are included,
such as second to fifth.
Gain error or full-scale error is a measure of the output error
between an ideal DAC and the actual device output. For these
DACs, ideal maximum output is VREF – 1 LSB. Gain error of
the DACs is adjustable to 0 with external resistance.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
Output Leakage Current
Output leakage current is current that flows in the DAC ladder
switches when these are turned off. For the IOUT1 terminal, it
can be measured by loading all 0s to the DAC and measuring
the IOUT1 current. Minimum current will flow in the IOUT2 line
when the DAC is loaded with all 1s.
Output Capacitance
Capacitance from IOUT1 or IOUT2 to AGND.
Output Current Settling Time
This is the amount of time it takes for the output to settle to a
specified level for a full-scale input change. For these devices, it
is specified with a 100 Ω resistor to ground. The settling time
specification includes the digital delay from SYNC rising edge
of the full scale output charge.

Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
It is the usable dynamic range of a DAC before spurious noise
interferes or distorts the fundamental signal. SFDR is the
measure of 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). Narrow band SFDR is a measure of SFDR over an
arbitrary window size, in this case 50% of the fundamental.
Digital SFDR is a measure of the usable dynamic range of the
DAC when the signal is digitally generated sine wave.
Digital-to-Analog Glitch lmpulse
The amount of charge injected from the digital inputs to the
analog output when the inputs change state. This is normally
specified as the area of the glitch in either pA-secs or nV-secs

AD5425
DAC SECTION
Low Power Serial Interface
The AD5425 is an 8-bit current output DAC consisting of a
standard inverting R-2R ladder configuration. A simplified
diagram is shown in Figure 2. The feedback resistor RFB has a
value of R. The value of R is typically 10 kΩ (minimum 8 kΩ
and maximum 12 kΩ). If IOUT1 and IOUT2 are kept at the same
potential, a constant current flows in each ladder leg, regardless
of digital input code. Therefore, the input resistance presented
at VREF is always constant and nominally of value R. The DAC
output (IOUT) is code-dependent, producing various resistances
and capacitances. External amplifier choice should take into
account the variation in impedance generated by the DAC on
the amplifiers inverting input node.
To minimize the power consumption of the device, the interface
powers up fully only when the device is being written to, i.e., on
the falling edge of SYNC. The SCLK and SDIN input buffers
are powered down on the rising edge of SYNC.

Access is provided to the VREF, RFB, IOUT1 and IOUT2 terminals of
the DAC, making the device extremely versatile and allowing it to
be configured in several different operating modes, for example,
to provide a unipolar output, bipolar output, or in single-supply
modes of operation in unipolar mode or 4-quadrant multiplication
in bipolar mode. Note that a matching switch is used in series
with the internal RFB feedback resistor. If users attempt to measure RFB, power must be applied to VDD to achieve continuity.
This DAC is designed to operate with either negative or positive
reference voltages. The VDD power pin is used by only the internal
digital logic to drive the DAC switches’ on and off states.

Figure 3. 8-Bit Input Shift Register Contents
SYNC is an edge-triggered input that acts as a frame synchronization signal and chip enable. Data can be transferred into the
device only while SYNC is low. To start the serial data transfer,
SYNC should be taken low, observing the minimum SYNC
falling to SCLK falling edge setup time, t4.
With a fixed 10 V reference, the circuit shown in Figure 4 will
give an unipolar 0 V to –10 V output voltage swing. When VIN
is an ac signal, the circuit performs 2-quadrant multiplication.
Table I shows the relationship between digital code and the
expected output voltage for unipolar operation.
After loading eight data bits to the shift register, the SYNC line is
brought high. The contents of the DAC register and the output
will be updated by bringing LDAC low any time after the 8-bit
data transfer is complete as seen in the timing diagram of Figure 1.
LDAC may be tied permanently low if required. For another
serial transfer to take place, the interface must be enabled by
another falling edge of SYNC.

Bipolar Operation
In some applications, it may be necessary to generate full 4-quadrant
multiplying operation or a bipolar output swing. This can be
easily accomplished by using another external amplifier and some
external resistors as shown in Figure 5. In this circuit, the second
amplifier A2 provides a gain of 2. Biasing the external amplifier
with an offset from the reference voltage results in full 4-quadrant
multiplying operation. The transfer function of this circuit shows
that both negative and positive output voltages are created as the
input data (D) is incremented from code zero (VOUT = –VREF)
to midscale (VOUT = 0 V ) to full scale (VOUT = + VREF).

value of C1 can produce ringing at the output, while too large a
value can adversely affect the settling time. C1 should be found
empirically but 1 pF–2 pF is generally adequate for compensation.

Stability
In the I-to-V configuration, the IOUT of the DAC and the inverting
node of the op amp must be connected as close as possible, and
proper PCB layout techniques must be employed. Since every
code change corresponds to a step function, gain peaking may
occur if the op amp has limited GBP and there is excessive parasitic capacitance at the inverting node. This parasitic capacitance
introduces a pole into the open-loop response, which can cause
ringing or instability in closed-loop applications.

VBIAS should be a low impedance source capable of sinking and
sourcing all possible variations in current at the IOUT2 terminal
without any problems.
It is important to note that VIN is limited to low voltages because
the switches in the DAC ladder no longer have the same sourcedrain drive voltage. As a result their on resistance differs and this
degrades the linearity of the DAC.

Voltage Switching Mode of Operation
ADDING GAIN
Figure 7 shows this DAC operating in the voltage switching
mode. The reference voltage, VIN is applied to the IOUT1 pin,
IOUT2 is connected to AGND and the output voltage is available
at the VREF terminal. In this configuration, a positive reference
voltage results in a positive output voltage making single-supply
operation possible. The output from the DAC is voltage at a
constant impedance (the DAC ladder resistance), thus an op amp
is necessary to buffer the output voltage. The reference input no
longer sees a constant input impedance, but one that varies with
code. So, the voltage input should be driven from a low impedance source.
In applications where the output voltage is required to be greater
than VIN, gain can be added with an additional external amplifier
or it can also be achieved in a single stage. It is important to
take into consideration the effect of temperature coefficients of
the thin film resistors of the DAC. Simply placing a resistor in
series with the RFB resistor will causing mismatches in the
temperature coefficients resulting in larger gain temperature
coefficient errors. Instead, the circuit of Figure 9 is a recommended method of increasing the gain of the circuit. R1, R2,
and R3 should all have similar temperature coefficients, but
they need not match the temperature coefficients of the DAC.
This approach is recommended in circuits where gains of
greater than 1 are required.

Figure 7. Single-Supply Voltage Switching Mode Operation
It is important to note that VIN is limited to low voltage because
the switches in the DAC ladder no longer have the same sourcedrain drive voltage. As a result, their on resistance differs, which
degrades the linearity of the DAC.
Also, VIN must not go negative by more than 0.3 V or an internal diode will turn on, exceeding the max ratings of the device.
In this type of application, the full range of multiplying capability of the DAC is lost.
POSITIVE OUTPUT VOLTAGE
Note that the output voltage polarity is opposite to the VREF
polarity for dc reference voltages. To achieve a positive voltage
output, an applied negative reference to the input of the DAC is
preferred over the output inversion through an inverting amplifier
because of the resistor tolerance errors. To generate a negative
reference, the reference can be level shifted by an op amp such
that the VOUT and GND pins of the reference become the virtual
ground and –2.5 V respectively, as shown in Figure 8.

Current steering DACs are very flexible and lend themselves to

As D is reduced, the output voltage increases. For small values
of the digital fraction D, it is important to ensure that the amplifier does not saturate and also that the required accuracy is met.
For example, an eight bit DAC driven with the binary code 0x/0
(00010000), i.e., 16 decimal, in the circuit of Figure 10 should
–13–
AD5425
cause the output voltage to be 16⫻ VIN. However, if the DAC
has a linearity specification of ⫾ 0.5 LSB, then D can in fact
have the weight anywhere in the range 15.5/256 to 16.5/256 so
that the possible output voltage will be in the range 15.5 VIN to
16.5 VIN—an error of +3% even though the DAC itself has a
maximum error of 0.2%.
AMPLIFIER SELECTION
DAC leakage current is also a potential error source in divider
circuits. The leakage current must be counterbalanced by an opposite current supplied from the op amp through the DAC. Since
only a fraction D of the current into the VREF terminal is routed
to the IOUT1 terminal, the output voltage has to change as follows:
Output Error Voltage Due to DAC Leakage = (Leakage × R)/D
where R is the DAC resistance at the VREF terminal. For a DAC
leakage current of 10 nA, R = 10 kΩ and a gain (i.e., 1/D) of
16 the error voltage is 1.6 mV.
The primary requirement for the current-steering mode is an
amplifier with low input bias currents and low input offset voltage.
The input offset voltage of an op amp is multiplied by the variable gain (due to the code dependent output resistance of the DAC)
of the circuit. A change in this noise gain between two adjacent
digital fractions produces a step change in the output voltage
due to the amplifier’s input offset voltage. This output voltage
change is superimposed on the desired change in output between
the two codes and gives rise to a differential linearity error, which
if large enough, could cause the DAC to be nonmonotonic. In
general, the input offset voltage should be a fraction (~<1/4) of
an LSB to ensure monotonic behavior when stepping through
codes.
The input bias current of an op amp also generates an offset at
the voltage output as a result of the bias current flowing in the
feedback resistor RFB. Most op amps have input bias currents
low enough to prevent any significant errors.
REFERENCE SELECTION
When selecting a reference for use with the AD5425 series of
current output DACs, pay attention to the reference’s output
voltage temperature coefficient specification. This parameter not
only affects the full-scale error, but can also affect the linearity
(INL and DNL) performance. The reference temperature coefficient should be consistent with the system accuracy specifications.
For example, an 8-bit system required to hold its overall specification to within 1 LSB over the temperature range 0°C to 50°C
dictates that the maximum system drift with temperature should be
less than 78 ppm/°C. A 12-bit system with the same temperature
range to overall specification within 2 LSB requires a maximum
drift of 10 ppm/°C. By choosing a precision reference with low
output temperature coefficient, this error source can be minimized. Table III suggests some of the suitable references available
from Analog Devices that are suitable for use with this range of
current output DACs.
Common-mode rejection of the op amp is important in voltage
switching circuits, since it produces a code dependent error at
the voltage output of the circuit. Most op amps have adequate
common-mode rejection for use at 8-bit resolution.
Provided the DAC switches are driven from true wideband low
impedance sources (VIN and AGND), they settle quickly. Consequently, the slew rate and settling time of a voltage switching
DAC circuit is determined largely by the output op amp. To obtain
minimum settling time in this configuration, it is important to
minimize capacitance at the VREF node (voltage output node in
this application) of the DAC. This is done by using low inputs
capacitance buffer amplifiers and careful board design.
Most single-supply circuits include ground as part of the analog
signal range, which in turns requires an amplifier that can
handle rail-to-rail signals. There is a large range of single-supply
amplifiers available from Analog Devices.

consisting of a clock signal, a data signal, and a synchronization
signal. An LDAC pin is also included. The AD5425 requires

A serial interface between the DAC and the 8051 is shown in
Figure 13. TxD of the 8051 drives SCLK of the DAC serial
interface, while RxD drives the serial data line, DIN. P3.3 is a
bit-programmable pin on the serial port and is used to drive
SYNC. When data is to be transmitted to the switch, P3.3 is
taken low. The 80C51/80L51 transmits data in 8-bit bytes
which is perfect for the AD5425 as it only requires an 8-bit
word. Data on RxD is clocked out of the microcontroller on
the rising edge of TxD and is valid on the falling edge. As
a result, no glue logic is required between the DAC and
microcontroller interface. P3.3 is taken high following the
completion of this cycle. The 8051 provides the LSB of its
SBUF register as the first bit in the data stream. The DAC
input register requires its data with the MSB as the first bit
received. The transmit routine should take this into account.

PCB LAYOUT AND 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 printed circuit board on which the
AD5425 is mounted should be designed so that the analog and
digital sections are separated and confined to certain areas of the
board. If the DAC is in a system where multiple devices require
an AGND-to-DGND connection, the connection should be
made at one point only. The star ground point should be established as close as possible to the device.
reduces the effects of feedthrough through the board. A microstrip technique is by far the best, but not always possible with a
double-sided board. In this technique, the component side of
the board is dedicated to ground plane while signal traces are
placed on the solder side.
It is good practice to employ compact, minimum lead length
PCB layout design. Leads to the input should be as short as
possible to minimize IR drops and stray inductance.
The PCB metal traces between VREF and RFB should also be
matched to minimize gain error. To maximize on high frequency
performance, the I-to-V amplifier should be located as close to
the device as possible.
EVALUATION BOARD FOR THE AD5425 DAC
The board consists of an 8-bit AD5425 and a current to voltage
amplifier AD8065. Included on the evaluation board is a 10 V
reference ADR01. An external reference may also be applied via
an SMB input.
The evaluation kit consists of a CD-ROM with self-installing
PC software to control the DAC. The software simply allows the
user to write a code to the device.
OPERATING THE EVALUATION BOARD
Power Supplies
The board requires ⫾12 V, and +5 V supplies. The +12 V VDD
and VSS are used to power the output amplifier, while the +5 V
is used to power the DAC (VDD1) and transceivers (VCC).
Both supplies are decoupled to their respective ground plane
with 10 µF tantalum and 0.1 µF ceramic capacitors.
Link1 (LK1) is provided to allow selection between the on-board
reference (ADR01) or an external reference applied through J2.
Link2 should be connected to LDAC position.
These DACs should have ample supply bypassing of 10 µF in
parallel with 0.1 µF on the supply located as close to the package as possible, ideally right up against the device. The 0.1 µF
capacitor should have low effective series resistance (ESR) and
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. Low ESR 1 µF to 10 µF tantalum or electrolytic
capacitors should also be applied at the supplies to minimize
transient disturbance and to filter out low frequency ripple.
Fast switching signals such as clocks should be shielded with
digital ground to avoid radiating noise to other parts of the
board, and should never be run near the reference inputs.
Avoid crossover of digital and analog signals. Traces on opposite
sides of the board should run at right angles to each other. This
