The AD5544/AD5554 quad, 16-/14-bit, current-output, digital
to-analog converters are designed to operate from a single
5 V supply.

The applied external reference input voltage (VREF) determines
the full-scale output current. Integrated feedback resistors (RFB)
provide temperature-tracking, full-scale voltage outputs when
combined with an external I-to-V precision amplifier.

CODE (Decimal)
00943-0-002
A double-buffered serial-data interface offers high speed,
3-wire, SPI- and microcontroller-compatible inputs using serialdata-in (SDI), a chip-select (CS), and clock (CLK) signals. In
addition, a serial-data-out pin (SDO) allows for daisy-chaining
when multiple packages are used. A common, level-sensitive,
load-DAC strobe (LDAC) input allows the simultaneous update
of all DAC outputs from previously loaded input registers.
Additionally, an internal power ON reset forces the output
voltage to zero at system turn ON. An MSB pin allows system
reset assertion (RS) to force all registers to zero code when
MSB = 0, or to half-scale code when MSB = 1.

Only the last 18 bits of data clocked into the serial register (address + data) are inspected when the CS line’s positive edge returns to logic high. At this point an internally generated load strobe transfers the serial register data contents (Bits D15 to D0) to the decoded DAC-input-register address determined by Bits A1 and A0. Any
extra bits clocked into the AD5544 shift register are ignored; only the last 18 bits clocked in are used. If double-buffered data is not needed, the LDAC pin can be tied
logic low to disable the DAC registers.

Only the last 16 bits of data clocked into the serial register (address + data) are inspected when the CS line’s positive edge returns to logic high. At this point an
internally generated load strobe transfers the serial register data contents (Bits D13 to D0) to the decoded DAC-input-register address determined by Bits A1 and A0.
Any extra bits clocked into the AD5554 shift register are ignored; only the last 16 bits clocked in are used. If double-buffered data is not needed, the LDAC pin can be
tied logic low to disable the DAC registers.

CIRCUIT OPERATION
Each part contains four current-steering R-2R ladder DACs.
Figure 25 shows a typical equivalent DAC. Each DAC contains a
matching feedback resistor for use with an external I-to-V converter amplifier. The RFBX pin connects to the output of the
external amplifier. The IOUTX terminal connects to the inverting
input of the external amplifier. The AGNDX pin should be Kelvinconnected to the load point requiring full 16-bit accuracy. These
DACs are designed to operate with both negative or positive
reference voltage. The VDD power pin is only used by the logic to
drive the DAC switches on and off. Note that a matching switch
is used in series with the internal 5 kΩ feedback resistor. If users
attempt to measure the value of RFB, power must be applied to
VDD in order to achieve continuity. An additional VSS bias pin is
used to guard the substrate during high temperature applications, minimizing zero-scale leakage currents that double every
10°C. The DAC output voltage is determined by VREF and the
digital data (D) in the following equations:
VOUT = − VREF ×
D
(For AD5544 )

VOUT = − VREF ×

dc reference voltages.

resistance of 5 kΩ, ±30%. On the other hand, the DAC outputs
IOUTA, B, C, D are code-dependent and produce various output resistances and capacitances. The choice of external amplifier should take into account the variation in impedance
generated by the AD5544/AD5554 on the amplifiers’ inverting
input node. The feedback resistance, in parallel with the DAC
ladder resistance, dominates output voltage noise. For multiplying mode applications, an external feedback compensation
capacitor (CFB) may be needed to provide a critically damped
output response for step changes in reference input voltages.
Figure 26 and Figure 27 show the gain vs. frequency performance at various attenuation settings using a 23 pF external
feedback capacitor connected across the IOUTX and RFBX terminals for AD5544 and AD5554, respectively. In order to maintain good analog performance, power supply bypassing of
0.01 µF, in parallel with 1 µF, is recommended. Under these
conditions, a clean power supply with low ripple voltage capability should be used. Switching power supplies is usually not
suitable for this application due to the higher ripple voltage and
PSS frequency-dependent characteristics. It is best to derive the
AD5544/AD5554’s 5 V supply from the system’s analog supply
voltages. Do not use the digital 5 V supply (see Figure 28).
GAIN (12dB/DIV)
The AD5544 and AD5554 contain four, 16-bit and 14-bit, current-output, digital-to-analog converters, respectively. Each
DAC has its own independent multiplying reference input. Both
the AD5544 and the AD5554 use a 3-wire, SPI compatible, serial
data interface, with a configurable asynchronous RS pin for
half-scale (MSB = 1) or zero-scale (MSB = 0) preset. In addition,
an LDAC strobe enables four channel simultaneous updates for
hardware synchronized output voltage changes.

the CS line low between the first, second, and third byte transfers will result in a successful serial register update. Similarly,
two right justified data bytes can be written to the AD5554.
Keeping the CS line low between the first and second byte
transfer will result in a successful serial register update.
The AD5544/AD5554 uses a 3-wire (CS, SDI, CLK) SPI compatible serial data interface. Serial data of AD5544 and AD5554 is
clocked into the serial input register in an 18-bit and 16-bit
data-word format respectively. MSB bits are loaded first. Table 6
defines the 18 data-word bits for AD5544.
Once the data is properly aligned in the shift register, the positive edge of the CS initiates the transfer of new data to the target
DAC register, determined by the decoding of address Bits A1
and A0. For AD5544, Table 5, Table 7, Table 9, and Figure 4
define the characteristics of the software serial interface. For
AD5554, Table 6, Table 8, Table 9, and Figure 5 define the
characteristics of the software serial interface. Figure 29 and
Figure 30 show the equivalent logic interface for the key digital
control pins for the AD5544. AD5554 has a similar configuration, except it has 14 data bits. Two additional pins, RS and
MSB, provide hardware control over the preset function and
DAC register loading.
Table 7 defines the 16 data-word bits for AD5554. Data is placed
on the SDI pin, and clocked into the register on the positive
clock edge of CLK subject to the data setup and data hold time
requirements specified in the interface timing specifications.
data can only be clocked in while the CS chip select pin is active
low. For AD5544, only the last 18 bits clocked into the serial
register will be interrogated when the CS pin returns to the
logic high state, extra data bits are ignored. For AD5554, only
the last 16 bits clocked into the serial register will be interrogated when the CS pin returns to the logic high state. Since
most microcontrollers output serial data in 8-bit bytes, three
right justified data bytes can be written to the AD5544. Keeping

electrolytic capacitors should also be applied at VDD to minimize
any transient disturbance and filter any low frequency ripple
(see Figure 32). Users should not apply switching regulators for
VDD due to the power supply rejection ratio degradation over
frequency.

POWER ON RESET
When the VDD power supply is turned on, an internal reset
strobe forces all the input and DAC registers to the zero-code
state or half-scale state, depending on the MSB pin voltage. The
VDD power supply should have a smooth positive ramp without
drooping in order to have consistent results, especially in the
region of VDD = 1.5 V to 2.3 V. The VSS supply has no effect on
the power-on reset performance. The DAC register data will
stay at a zero or half-scale setting until a valid serial register
data load takes place.
ESD Protection Circuits
All logic-input pins contain back-biased ESD protection Zeners
connected to ground (DGND) and VDD, as shown in Figure 31.

Power Supply Sequence
As standard practice, it is recommended to power VDD, VSS, and
ground prior to any reference. The ideal power up sequence is
AGNDX, DGND, VDD, VSS, VREFX, and digital inputs. A noncompliance power up sequence may elevate the reference current, but
the devices resume normal operation once VDD and VSS are
powered-up.
APPLICATIONS
The AD5544/AD5554 are inherently 2-quadrant multiplying
D/A converters. That is, they can be easily set up for unipolar
output operation. The full-scale output polarity is the inverse of
the reference-input voltage.
In some applications it may be necessary to generate the full
4-quadrant multiplying capability or a bipolar output swing.
This is easily accomplished using an additional external amplifier (A2) configured as a summing amplifier (see Figure 33). In
this circuit the first and second amplifiers (A1 and A2) provide
a total gain of 2 which increases the output voltage span to 20 V.
Biasing the external amplifier with a 10 V offset from the reference voltage results in a full 4-quadrant multiplying circuit. The
transfer equation of this circuit shows that both negative and
positive output voltages are created as the input data (D) is
incremented from code zero (VOUT = −10 V) to midscale
(VOUT = 0 V) to full-scale (VOUT = 10 V).

Layout and Power Supply Bypassing
It is good practice to employ a compact, minimum-lead length
layout design. The leads to the input should be as direct as
possible with a minimum conductor length. Ground paths
should have low resistance and low inductance.
Similarly, it is good practice to bypass the power supplies with
quality capacitors for optimum stability. Supply leads to the
device should be bypassed with 0.01 µF to 0.1 µF disc or chip
ceramic capacitors. Low-ESR 1 µF to 10 µF tantalum or
