The AD5744R is a quad, 14-bit, serial input, bipolar voltage
output digital-to-analog converter that operates from supply
voltages of ±11.4 V up to ±16.5 V. Nominal full-scale output
range is ±10 V. The AD5744R provides integrated output
amplifiers, reference buffers and proprietary power-up/powerdown control circuitry. The parts also feature a digital I/O port,
which is 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-/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 offers
guaranteed monotonicity, integral nonlinearity (INL) of ±1 LSB,
low noise, and 10 μs settling time. The AD5744R includes an
on-chip 5 V reference with a reference tempco of 10 ppm/°C
maximum. During power-up (when the supply voltages are
changing), VOUT is clamped to 0 V via a low impedance path.
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, the functional block diagram.

For analog systems designers within industrial/instrumentation equipment
OEMs who need high performance ICs at higher voltage levels, iCMOS is a
technology platform that enables the development of analog ICs capable of
30 V and operating at ±15 V supplies while allowing dramatic reductions in
power consumption and package size, and increased ac and dc
performance.

ESD 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 this product 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.

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 up to 30 MHz.
Serial Data Input. Data must be valid on the falling edge of SCLK.
Serial Data Output. Used to clock data from the serial register in daisy-chain or
readback mode.
Negative Edge Triggered Input. Asserting this pin sets the DAC registers to 0x0000.
Load DAC. Logic input. This 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.
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 Features section for
further details.
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.

Description
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.
Analog Output Voltage of DAC B. 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 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. Reference input
range is 1 V to 7 V; programs the full-scale output voltage. REFIN = 5 V for specified
performance.
External Reference Voltage Input for Channel C and Channel D. Reference input
range is 1 V to 7 V; 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 tempco 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 1.4 V typical at 25°C die temperature; variation with temperature is 5 mV/°C.
Determines the DAC Coding. This pin should be hardwired to either DVCC or DGND.
When hardwired to DVCC, input coding is offset binary. When hardwired to DGND,
input coding is twos complement (see Table 6).
Internal pull-up device on this logic input. Therefore, it can be left floating and defaults to a logic high condition.

TERMINOLOGY
Relative Accuracy or Integral nonlinearity (INL)
For the DAC, relative accuracy or integral nonlinearity (INL) is
a measure of the maximum deviation, in LSBs, from a straight
line passing through the endpoints of the DAC transfer
function.
Gain Error
Gain error is 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. A plot of
gain error vs. temperature can be seen in Figure 23.
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. This DAC is guaranteed monotonic.
Total Unadjusted Error
Total unadjusted error (TUE) is a measure of the output error
considering all the various errors. A plot of total unadjusted
error vs. reference can be seen in Figure 19.
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
Bipolar zero error is 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). A plot of bipolar zero error vs.
temperature can be seen in Figure 22.
Bipolar Zero TC
Bipolar zero TC is the measure of the change in the bipolar zero
error with a change in temperature. It is expressed in ppm
FSR/°C.
Full-Scale Error
Full-scale error is a measure of the output error when full-scale
code is loaded to the DAC register. Ideally the output voltage
should be 2 × VREF − 1 LSB. Full-scale error is expressed in
percentage of full-scale range.
Negative Full-Scale Error/Zero Scale Error
Negative full-scale error is 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 × VREF. A plot of zero-scale error vs.
temperature can be seen in Figure 21.
Output Voltage Settling Time
Output voltage settling time is the amount of time it takes for
the output to settle to a specified level for a full-scale input
change.
Slew Rate
The slew rate of a device is a limitation in the rate of change of
the output voltage. The output slewing speed of a voltageoutput D/A converter 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 V/μs.
Zero-Scale Error TC
Zero-scale error TC is a measure of the change in zero-scale
error with a change in temperature. Zero-scale error TC is
expressed in ppm FSR/°C.
Gain Error TC
Gain error TC is a measure of the change in gain error with
changes in temperature. Gain Error TC is expressed in
(ppm of FSR)/°C.
Digital-to-Analog Glitch Energy
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 secs
and is measured when the digital input code is changed by 1
LSB at the major carry transition (0x7FFF to 0x8000) (see
Figure 28).
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 secs 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
Power supply sensitivity indicates how the output of the DAC is
affected by changes in the power supply voltage.
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 while
monitoring another DAC, and is expressed in LSBs.
DAC-to-DAC Crosstalk
DAC-to-DAC crosstalk is 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 (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 nV-s.

Channel-to-Channel Isolation
Channel-to-channel isolation is 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 dB.
Reference TC
Reference TC is a measure of the change in the reference output
voltage with a change in temperature. It is expressed in ppm/°C.
Digital Crosstalk
Digital crosstalk is 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 nV secs and measured with a full-scale code change
on the data bus, that is, from all 0s to all 1s and vice versa.

AD5744R
Preliminary Technical Data
THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD5744R is a quad, 14-bit, serial input, bipolar voltage output
DAC and 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, which is available for daisy
chaining or readback.
SERIAL INTERFACE
The AD5744R is controlled over a versatile 3-wire serial
interface that operates at clock rates of up to 30 MHz and is
compatible with SPI®, QSPI™, MICROWIRE™, and DSP
standards.
Input Shift Register
The AD5744R incorporates a power-on reset circuit, which
ensures that the DAC registers power up loaded with 0x0000.
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, three register select bits, three DAC address bits and 14 data
bits as shown in Table 7. The timing diagram for this operation
is shown in Figure 2.
DAC ARCHITECTURE
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 35.
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 AGND or IOUT. The remaining
12 bits of the data word drive switches S0 to S11 of the 12-bit R2R ladder network.

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, then the data coding is
twos complement and the outputs update to 0 V. If the
BIN/2sCOMP pin is tied to DVCC, then 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.
10-BIT, R-2R LADDER
Figure 35. DAC Ladder Structure
REFERENCE BUFFERS
The AD5744R can operate with either an external or an internal
reference. The reference inputs (REFAB and REFCD) have an
input range 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
+ VREF = 2 × VREF
While the negative reference to the DAC cores is given by
−VREF = −2 × VREF
These positive and negative reference voltages (along with the
gain register values) define the output ranges of the DACs.
The serial interface works with both a continuous and noncontinuous serial clock. A continuous SCLK source can only be
used 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 back high again. If
SYNC is brought high before the 24th falling SCLK edge, then
the data written is invalid. If more than 24 falling SCLK edges
are applied before SYNC is brought high, then the input data is
also invalid. The input register addressed is updated on the
rising edge of SYNC. In order 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.

A continuous SCLK source can only be used 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.
SDO
Readback Operation
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 = 1 in the serial input register
write. With R/W = 1, Bit A2 to Bit A0, in association with Bit
REG2, Bit REG1, and 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 on the
AD5744R, the following sequence should be implemented:
SDIN
AD5744R1
SCLK
SYNC
LDAC
SDO

1ADDITIONAL PINS OMITTED FOR CLARITY
1. Write 0xA0XXXX to the AD5744R input register. This
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.
Figure 36. Daisy Chaining the AD5744R
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
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.
2. Follow this with a second write, a 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
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 in which the DAC registers and DAC
outputs can be updated.
Individual DAC Updating
In this 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 this 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 now occurs on the falling edge of LDAC.

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 (see Figure 3) for the
operation to complete. When the CLR signal is returned high,
the output remains at the cleared value until a new value is
programmed. If at power-on CLR is at 0 V, then all DAC
outputs are updated with the clear value. A clear can also be
initiated through software by writing the command 0x04XXXX

AD5744R 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 VOUT pins are clamped to 0 V via a low impedance path.
To prevent the output amp being shorted to 0 V during this
time, transmission gate G1 is also opened (see Figure 38). These
conditions are maintained until the power supplies stabilize and
a valid word is written to the DAC register. At this time, G2
opens and G1 closes. Both transmission gates are also externally
controllable via the Reset In (RSTIN) control input. For
instance, if RSTIN is driven from a battery supervisor chip, the
RSTIN input is driven low to open G1 and close G2 on poweroff 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 38.

PROGRAMMABLE SHORT-CIRCUIT PROTECTION
The short-circuit current of the output amplifiers can be programmed by inserting an external resistor between the ISCC
pin and PGND. 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:

DIGITAL I/O PORT
The AD5744R contains a 2-bit digital I/O port (D1 and D0),
these bits can be configured as inputs or outputs independently,
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 via the digital
interface.

VOLTAGE
MONITOR
AND
CONTROL
R=
If the ISCC pin is left unconnected, the short circuit current
limit defaults to 5 mA. It should be noted that limiting the short
circuit current to a small value can affect the slew rate of the
output when driving into a capacitive load, therefore, the value
of short-circuit current 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 centigrade temperature scale.
Its nominal output voltage is 1.4 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 A/D converters. The temperature sensor is
provided as more of a convenience rather than 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
which 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 with respect to the local DAC ground
pin. For instance, if pin AGNDA is at +5 mV with respect to the
REFGND pin and VOUTA is measured with respect to
AGNDA then a −5mV error results, enabling the local-groundoffset adjust feature adjusts VOUTA by +5 mV, eliminating the
error.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
TYPICAL OPERATING CIRCUIT
Precision Voltage Reference Selection
Figure 39 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. This leads to an overall savings
in both cost and board space.
To achieve the optimum performance from the AD5744R over
its full operating temperature range, an external voltage
reference must be used. Thought should be given to 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.
In Figure 39, VDD and VSS are both connected to ±15 V, but VDD
and VSS can operate with supplies from ±11.4 V to ±16.5 V. In
Figure 39, AGNDA is connected to REFGND.
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.
+15V –15V
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.

Figure 39. Typical Operating Circuit
In high accuracy applications, which have a relatively low noise
budget, reference output voltage noise needs to be considered.
Choosing a reference with as low an output noise voltage as
practical for the system resolution required is important.
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
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. 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. A ground line routed
between the SDIN and SCLK lines helps reduce cross-talk
between them (not required on a multilayer board, which 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. Traces on opposite sides of the
board should run at right angles to each other. This reduces the
effects of feed through on the board. A microstrip technique is
recommended, 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.

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 AD5744R is mounted should be designed so 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 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.
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 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.
Figure 40. Isolated Interface
MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING
Microprocessor interfacing to the AD5744R is via a serial bus
that uses standard protocol 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, the DAC output update can be done
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.
AD5744R to MC68HC11 Interface
Figure 41 shows an example of a serial interface between the
AD5744R and the MC68HC11 microcontroller. The serial
peripheral interface (SPI) on the MC68HC11 is configured for
master mode (MSTR = 1), clock polarity bit (CPOL = 0), and the
clock phase bit (CPHA = 1). The SPI is configured by writing to the
SPI control register (SPCR) (see the 68HC11User Manual). SCK of
the MC68HC11 drives the SCLK of the AD5744R, the MOSI
output drives the serial data line (DIN) of the AD5744R, and the
MISO input is driven from SDO. The SYNC is driven from one of
the port lines, in this case PC7.
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 might 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 40 shows a 4-channel isolated interface
to the AD5744R using an ADuM1400. For more information,
go to www.analog.com.

Preliminary Technical Data
When data is being transmitted to the AD5744R, the SYNC line
(PC7) is taken low and data is transmitted MSB first. Data
appearing on the MOSI output is valid on the falling edge of
SCK. Eight falling clock edges occur in the transmit cycle, so, in
order to load the required 24-bit word, PC7 is not brought high
until the third 8-bit word has been transferred to the DACs
input shift register.

An interface between the AD5744R and the ADSP2101/
ADSP2103 is shown in Figure 43. The ADSP2101/ ADSP2103
should be set up to operate in the SPORT transmit alternate
framing mode. The ADSP2101/ADSP2103 are programmed
through the SPORT control register and should be configured
as follows: internal clock operation, active low framing, and 24bit word length.
06065-066
MC68HC111
The 8XC51 transmits data in 8-bit bytes with only eight falling
clock edges occurring in the transmit cycle. Because the DAC
expects a 24-bit word, SYNC (P3.3) must be left low after the
first eight bits are transferred. After the third byte has been
transferred, the P3.3 line is taken high. The DAC can be
updated using LDAC via P3.4 of the 8XC51.
Figure 41. AD5744R to MC68HC11 Interface
LDAC is controlled by the PC6 port output. The DAC can be
updated after each 3-byte transfer by bringing LDAC low. This
example does not show other serial lines for the DAC. For
example, if CLR were used, it could be controlled by port
output PC5.
Transmission is initiated by writing a word to the TX register
after the SPORT has been enabled. As the data is clocked out of
the DSP on the rising edge of SCLK, no glue logic is required to
interface the DSP to the DAC. In the interface shown, the DAC
output is updated using the LDAC pin via the DSP. Alternatively, the LDAC input could be tied permanently low, and then
the update takes place automatically when TFS is taken high.

The PIC16C6x/7x synchronous serial port (SSP) is configured
as an SPI master with the clock polarity bit set to 0. This is done
by writing to the synchronous serial port control register
(SSPCON). See the PIC16/17 Microcontroller User Manual. In
this example, I/O port RA1 is being used to pulse SYNC and
enable the serial port of the AD5744R. This microcontroller
transfers only eight bits of data during each serial transfer
operation; therefore, three consecutive write operations are
needed. Figure 44 shows the connection diagram.

P3.3 and P3.4 are bit programmable pins on the serial port and
are used to drive SYNC and LDAC, respectively. The 8CX51
provides the LSB of its SBUF register as the first bit in the data
stream. The user must ensure that the data in the SBUF register
is arranged correctly, because the DAC expects MSB first. When
data is to be transmitted to the DAC, P3.3 is taken low. 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 this DAC and the microcontroller interface.
