AD5381
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5381 is a complete, single-supply, 40-channel, 12-bit
denseDAC® available in a 100-lead LQFP package. All 40 channels
have an on-chip output amplifier with rail-to-rail operation.
The AD5381 includes a programmable internal 1.25 V/2.5 V,
10 ppm/°C reference, an on-chip channel monitor function that
multiplexes the analog outputs to a common MON_OUT pin
for external monitoring, and an output amplifier boost mode,
which allows optimization of the amplifier slew rate. The AD5381
contains a double-buffered parallel interface featuring 20 ns WR
pulse width, an SPI-/QSPI-/MICROWIRE-/DSP-compatible serial
interface with interface speeds in excess of 30 MHz, and an I2Ccompatible interface that supports a 400 kHz data transfer rate.
An input register followed by a DAC register provides double
buffering, allowing the DAC outputs to be updated independently or simultaneously using the LDAC input.
Each channel has a programmable gain and offset adjust
register that allows the user to fully calibrate any DAC channel. Power consumption is typically 0.25 mA/channel with
boost mode disabled.

AD5381
Function
The AD5381 contains a common REFOUT/REFIN pin. When the internal reference is selected, this pin is the reference
output. If the application requires an external reference, it can be applied to this pin and the internal reference can
be disabled via the control register. The default for this pin is a reference input.
This pin has a dual function. It acts as a buffered output for Channel 39 in default mode. However, when the monitor
function is enabled, this pin acts as the output of a 39-to-1 channel multiplexer that can be programmed to
multiplex one of Channels 0 to 38 to the MON_OUT pin. The MON_OUT pin’s output impedance is typically 500 Ω
and is intended to drive a high input impedance like that exhibited by SAR ADC inputs.
Interface Select Input. This pin allows the user to select whether the serial or parallel interface is used. If it is tied high,
the serial interface mode is selected and Pin 97 (SPI/I2 C) is used to determine if the interface mode is SPI or I2 C.
Parallel interface mode is selected when SER/PAR is low.
In parallel interface mode, this pin acts as chip select input (level sensitive, active low). When low, the AD5381
is selected.
Serial Interface Mode. This is the frame synchronization input signal for the serial clock and data.
I2 C Mode. This pin acts as a hardware address pin used in conjunction with AD1 to determine the software address
for the device on the I2 C bus.
Multifunction Pin. In parallel interface mode, this pin acts as write enable. In serial interface mode, this pin acts as a
daisy-chain enable in SPI mode and as a hardware address pin in I2 C mode.
Parallel Interface Write Input (edge sensitive). The rising edge of WR is used in conjunction with CS low, and the
address bus inputs to write to the selected device registers.
Serial Interface. Daisy-chain select input (level sensitive, active high). When high, this signal is used in conjunction
with SER/PAR high to enable the SPI serial interface daisy-chain mode.
I2 C Mode. This pin acts as a hardware address pin used in conjunction with AD0 to determine the software address
for this device on the I2 C bus.
Parallel Data Bus. DB11 is the MSB and DB0 is the LSB of the input data-word on the AD5381.
Parallel Address Inputs. A5 to A0 are decoded to address one of the AD5381’s 40 input channels. Used in conjunction
with the REG1 and REG0 pins to determine the destination register for the input data.
In parallel interface mode, REG1 and REG0 are used in decoding the destination registers for the input data. REG1
and REG0 are decoded to address the input data register, offset register, or gain register for the selected channel and
are also used to decide the special function registers.
Serial Data Output in Serial Interface Mode. Three-stateable CMOS output. SDO can be used for daisy-chaining a
number of devices together. Data is clocked out on SDO on the rising edge of SCLK, and is valid on the falling edge
of SCLK.
When operating in parallel interface mode, this pin acts as the A or B data register select when writing data to the
AD5381’s data registers with toggle mode selected (see the Toggle Mode Function section). In toggle mode, the
LDAC is used to switch the output between the data contained in the A and B data registers. All DAC channels
contain two data registers. In normal mode, Data Register A is the default for data transfers.
Digital CMOS Output. BUSY goes low during internal calculations of the data (x2) loaded to the DAC data register.
During this time, the user can continue writing new data to the x1, c, and m registers, but no further updates to the
DAC registers and DAC outputs can take place. If LDAC is taken low while BUSY is low, this event is stored. BUSY also
goes low during power-on reset, and when the RESET pin is low. During this time, the interface is disabled and any
events on LDAC are ignored. A CLR operation also brings BUSY low.
Load DAC Logic Input (Active Low). If LDAC is taken low while BUSY is inactive (high), the contents of the input
registers are transferred to the DAC registers and the DAC outputs are updated. If LDAC is taken low while BUSY is
active and internal calculations are taking place, the LDAC event is stored and the DAC registers are updated when
BUSY goes inactive. However any events on LDAC during power-on reset or on RESET are ignored.
Asynchronous Clear Input. The CLR input is falling edge sensitive. When CLR is activated, all channels are updated
with the data contained in the CLR code register. BUSY is low for a duration of 35 µs while all channels are being
updated with the CLR code.
Asynchronous Digital Reset Input (Falling Edge Sensitive). The function of this pin is equivalent to that of the poweron reset generator. When this pin is taken low, the state machine initiates a reset sequence to digitally reset the x1,
m, c, and x2 registers to their default power-on values. This sequence typically takes 270 µs. The falling edge of RESET
initiates the RESET process and BUSY goes low for the duration, returning high when RESET is complete. While BUSY
is low, all interfaces are disabled and all LDAC pulses are ignored. When BUSY returns high, the part resumes normal
operation and the status of the RESET pin is ignored until the next falling edge is detected.

PD
Function
Power-Down (Level Sensitive, Active High). PD is used to place the device in low power mode, where the analog
current consumption is reduced to 2 µA and the digital current consumption is reduced to 20 µA. In power-down
mode, all internal analog circuitry is placed in low power mode, and the analog output is configured as a high
impedance output or provides a 100 kΩ load to ground, depending on how the power-down mode is configured.
The serial interface remains active during power-down.
FIFO Enable (Level Sensitive, Active High). When connected to DVDD, the internal FIFO is enabled, allowing the user
to write to the device at full speed. FIFO is only available in parallel interface mode. The status of the FIFO EN pin is
sampled on power-up, and also following a CLEAR or RESET, to determine if the FIFO is enabled. In either serial or
I2 C interface modes, the FIFO EN pin should be tied low.
Multifunction Input Pin. In parallel interface mode, this pin acts as DB9 of the parallel input data-word. In serial
interface mode, this pin acts as serial interface mode select. When serial interface mode is selected (SER/PAR = 1) and
this input is low, SPI mode is selected. In SPI mode, DB12 is the serial clock (SCLK) input and DB11 is the serial data
(DIN) input.
When serial interface mode is selected (SER/PAR = 1) and this input is high I2 C Mode is selected.
In this mode, DB12 is the serial clock (SCL) input and DB11 is the serial data (SDA) input.
Multifunction Input Pin. In parallel interface mode, this pin acts as DB10 of the parallel input data-word. In serial
interface mode, this pin acts as a serial clock input.
Serial Interface Mode. In serial interface mode, data is clocked into the shift register on the falling edge of SCLK.
This operates at clock speeds up to 50 MHz.
I2 C Mode. In I2 C mode, this pin performs the SCL function, clocking data into the device. The data transfer rate in
I2 C mode is compatible with both 100 kHz and 400 kHz operating modes.
Multifunction Data Input Pin. In parallel interface mode, this pin acts as DB11 of the parallel input data-word.
Serial Interface Mode. In serial interface mode, this pin acts as the serial data input. Data must be valid on the falling
edge of SCLK.
I2 C Mode. In I2 C mode, this pin is the serial data pin (SDA) operating as an open-drain input/output.

TERMINOLOGY
Relative Accuracy
Relative accuracy, or endpoint linearity, 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-scale error and full-scale error, and is
expressed in LSB.
Differential Nonlinearity
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.
Zero-Scale Error
Zero-scale error is the error in the DAC output voltage when all
0s are loaded into the DAC register. Ideally, with all 0s loaded
to the DAC and m = all 1s, c = 2n – 1
VOUT(Zero-Scale) = 0 V
Zero-scale error is a measure of the difference between VOUT
(actual) and VOUT (ideal), expressed in mV. It is mainly due to
offsets in the output amplifier.
Offset Error
Offset error is a measure of the difference between VOUT
(actual) and VOUT (ideal) in the linear region of the transfer
function, expressed in mV. Offset error is measured on the
AD5381-5 with Code 32 loaded into the DAC register, and on
the AD5381-3 with Code 64.
Gain Error
Gain Error is specified in the linear region of the output range
between VOUT = 10 mV and VOUT = AVDD – 50 mV. It is
the deviation in slope of the DAC transfer characteristic from
the ideal and is expressed in %FSR with the DAC output
unloaded.
DC Crosstalk
This is the dc change in the output level of one DAC at
midscale in response to a full-scale code (all 0s to all 1s, and
vice versa) and output change of all other DACs. It is expressed
in LSB.
DC Output Impedance
This is the effective output source resistance. It is dominated by
package lead resistance.
Output Voltage Settling Time
This is the amount of time it takes for the output of a DAC to
settle to a specified level for a ¼ to ¾ full-scale input change,
and is measured from the BUSY rising edge.
Digital-to-Analog Glitch Energy
This is the amount of energy injected into the analog output at
the major code transition. It is specified as the area of the glitch
in nV-s. It is measured by toggling the DAC register data
between 0x7FF and 0x800.
DAC-to-DAC Crosstalk
DAC-to-DAC crosstalk is the glitch impulse that appears at the
output of one DAC due to both the digital change and the
subsequent analog output change at another DAC. The victim
channel is loaded with midscale. DAC-to-DAC crosstalk is
specified in nV-s.
Digital Crosstalk
The glitch impulse transferred to the output of one converter
due to a change in the DAC register code of another converter
is defined as the digital crosstalk and is specified in nV-s.
Digital Feedthrough
When the device is not selected, high frequency logic activity
on the device’s digital inputs can be capacitively coupled both
across and through the device to show up as noise on the
VOUT pins. It can also be coupled along the supply and
ground lines. This noise is digital feedthrough.
Output Noise Spectral Density
This is a measure of internally generated random noise.
Random noise is characterized as a spectral density (voltage per
√Hertz). It is measured by loading all DACs to midscale and
measuring noise at the output. It is measured in nV/√Hz in a
1 Hz bandwidth at 10 kHz.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
DAC ARCHITECTURE—GENERAL
The AD5381 is a complete, single-supply, 40-channel voltage
output DAC that offers 12-bit resolution. The part is available
in a 100-lead LQFP package and features both a parallel and
a serial interface. This product includes an internal, software
selectable, 1.25 V/2.5 V, 10 ppm/°C reference that can be used
to drive the buffered reference inputs; alternatively, an external
reference can be used to drive these inputs. Internal/external
reference selection is via the CR8 bit in the control register;
CR10 selects the reference magnitude if the internal reference
is selected. All channels have an on-chip output amplifier with
rail-to-rail output capable of driving 5 kΩ in parallel with a
200 pF load.

VOUT = 2 × VREF × x2/2n
where:
x2 is the data-word loaded to the resistor string DAC. VREF
is externally applied to the DAC REFOUT/REFIN pin. For
specified performance, an external reference voltage of 2.5 V is
recommended for the AD5381-5, and 1.25 V for the AD5381-3.
DATA DECODING
The AD5381 contains a 12-bit data bus, DB11 to DB0. Depending on the value of REG1 and REG0 (see Table 10), this data is
loaded into the addressed DAC input registers, offset (c)
registers, or gain (m) registers. The format data, offset (c), and
gain (m) register contents are shown in Table 11 to Table 13.

Figure 27. Single-Channel Architecture
The architecture of a single DAC channel consists of a 12-bit
resistor-string DAC followed by an output buffer amplifier
operating at a gain of 2. This resistor-string architecture
guarantees DAC monotonicity. The 12-bit binary digital code
loaded to the DAC register determines at what node on the
string the voltage is tapped off before being fed to the output
amplifier. Each channel on these devices contains independent
offset and gain control registers that allow the user to digitally
trim offset and gain. These registers give the user the ability to
calibrate out errors in the complete signal chain, including the
DAC, using the internal m and c registers, which hold the
correction factors. All channels are double buffered, allowing synchronous updating of all channels using the LDAC pin.
Figure 27 shows a block diagram of a single channel on the
AD5381. The digital input transfer function for each DAC
can be represented as
x2 = [(m + 2)/ 2n × x1] + (c – 2n – 1)
where:
x2 = the data-word loaded to the resistor string DAC.
x1 = the 12-bit data-word written to the DAC input register.
m = the gain coefficient (default is 0xFFE). The gain coefficient
is written to the 11 most significant bits (DB11 to DB1), the LSB
(DB0) of the data-word is a 0.
n = DAC resolution (n = 12 for AD5381).
c = the12-bit offset coefficient (default is 0x800).

Executing this instruction performs the CLR, which is functionally the same as that provided by the external CLR pin. The
DAC outputs are loaded with the data in the CLR code register.
It takes 35 µs to fully execute the SOFT CLR, as indicated by the
BUSY low time.
Soft Power-Down
REG1 = REG0 = 0, A5 to A0 = 001000
DB11 to DB0 = Don’t Care
REG1 = REG0 = 0, A5 to A0 = 000000
Executing this instruction performs a global power-down
feature that puts all channels into a low power mode that
reduces the analog supply current to 2 µA max and the digital current to 20 µA max. In power-down mode, the output
amplifier can be configured as a high impedance output or
provide a 100 kΩ load to ground. The contents of all internal
registers are retained in power-down mode. No register can be
written to while in power-down.
Performs no operation but is useful in serial readback mode to
clock out data on D OUT for diagnostic purposes. BUSY pulses
low during a NOP operation.
Soft Power-Up
REG1 = REG0 = 0, A5 to A0 = 001001
DB11 to DB0 = Don’t Care
Write CLR Code
This instruction is used to power up the output amplifiers and
the internal reference. The time to exit power-down is 8 µs.
The hardware power-down and software function are internally
combined in a digital OR function.
SFR COMMANDS
NOP (No Operation)
REG1 = REG0 = 0, A5 to A0 = 000001
DB11 to DB0 = Contain the CLR data
Bringing the CLR line low or exercising the soft clear function
will load the contents of the DAC registers with the data contained in the user configurable CLR register, and will set
VOUT0 to VOUT39 accordingly. This can be very useful for
setting up a specific output voltage in a clear condition. It is also
beneficial for calibration purposes; the user can load full scale
or zero scale to the clear code register and then issue a hardware or software clear to load this code to all DACs, removing
the need for individual writes to each DAC. Default on powerup is all zeros.
Soft RESET
REG1 = REG0 = 0, A5 to A0 = 001111
DB11 to DB0 = Don’t Care
This instruction is used to implement a software reset. All
internal registers are reset to their default values, which correspond to m at full scale and c at zero scale. The contents of the
DAC registers are cleared, setting all analog outputs to 0 V. The
soft reset activation time is 135 µs.

Control Register Write/Read
REG1 = REG0 = 0, A5 to A0 = 001100, R/W status determines
if the operation is a write (R/W = 0) or a read (R/W = 1). DB11
to DB0 contains the control register data.
Control Register Contents
CR11: Power-Down Status. This bit is used to configure the
output amplifier state in power-down.
CR11 = 1. Amplifier output is high impedance (default on
power-up).
CR11 = 0. Amplifier output is 100 kΩ to ground.
CR7 = 0: Monitor Disabled (default on power-up). When the
monitor is disabled, the MON_OUT pin assumes its normal
DAC output function.
CR6: Thermal Monitor Function. When enabled, this function
is used to monitor the internal die temperature of the AD5381.
The thermal monitor powers down the output amplifiers when
the temperature exceeds 130°C. This function can be used to
protect the device in cases where power dissipation may be
exceeded if a number of output channels are simultaneously
short-circuited. A soft power-up will re-enable the output
amplifiers if the die temperature has dropped below 130°C.
CR6 = 1: Thermal Monitor Enabled.
CR10: REF Select. This bit selects the operating internal
reference for the AD5381. CR10 is programmed as follows:
CR6 = 0: Thermal Monitor Disabled (default on power-up).
CR10 = 1: Internal reference is 2.5 V (AD5381-5 default), the
recommended operating reference for AD5381-5.
CR10 = 0: Internal reference is 1.25 V (AD5381-3 default),
the recommended operating reference for AD5381-3.
CR9: Current Boost Control. This bit is used to boost the
current in the output amplifier, thereby altering its slew rate.
This bit is configured as follows:
CR9 = 1: Boost Mode On. This maximizes the bias current
in the output amplifier, optimizing its slew rate but increasing
the power dissipation.
CR9 = 0: Boost Mode Off (default on power-up). This
reduces the bias current in the output amplifier and reduces
the overall power consumption.
CR8: Internal/External Reference. This bit determines if the
DAC uses its internal reference or an externally applied
reference.
CR5: Don’t Care.
CR4 to CR0: Toggle Function Enable. This function allows the
user to toggle the output between two codes loaded to the A
and B registers for each DAC. Control Register Bits CR4 to CR0
are used to enable individual groups of eight channels for
operation in toggle mode. A Logic 1 written to any bit enables
a group of channels; a Logic 0 disables a group. LDACis used
to toggle between the two registers.

Channel Monitor Function
CR8 = 1: Internal Reference Enabled. The reference output
depends on data loaded to CR10.
CR8 = 0: External Reference Selected (default on power-up).
CR7: Channel Monitor Enable (see Channel Monitor Function
section).
CR7= 1: Monitor Enabled. This enables the channel monitor
function. After a write to the monitor channel in the SFR
register, the selected channel output is routed to the
MON_OUT pin. VOUT39 operates at the MON_OUT pin.
REG1 = REG0 = 0, A5 to A0 = 001010
DB11–DB6 = Contain data to address the monitored channel.
A channel monitor function is provided on the AD5381. This
feature, which consists of a multiplexer addressed via the interface, allows any channel output to be routed to the MON_OUT
pin for monitoring using an external ADC. In channel monitor
mode, VOUT39 becomes the MON_OUT pin, to which all
monitored pins are routed. The channel monitor function must
be enabled in the control register before any channels are routed
to MON_OUT. On the AD5381, DB11 to DB6 contain the
channel address for the monitored channel. Selecting Channel
Address 63 three-states MON_OUT.

HARDWARE FUNCTIONS
RESET FUNCTION
FIFO OPERATION IN PARALLEL MODE
Bringing the RESET line low resets the contents of all internal
registers to their power-on reset state. Reset is a negative edgesensitive input. The default corresponds to m at full-scale and
to c at zero scale. The contents of the DAC registers are cleared,
setting VOUT0 to VOUT39 to 0 V. This sequence takes 270 µs.
The falling edge of RESET initiates the reset process; BUSY goes
low for the duration, returning high when RESET is complete.
While BUSY is low, all interfaces are disabled and all LDAC
pulses are ignored. When BUSY returns high, the part resumes
normal operation and the status of the RESET pin is ignored
until the next falling edge is detected.
The AD5381 contains a FIFO to optimize operation when
operating in parallel interface mode. The FIFO Enable (level
sensitive, active high) is used to enable the internal FIFO. When
connected to DVDD, the internal FIFO is enabled, allowing the
user to write to the device at full speed. FIFO is only available in
parallel interface mode. The status of the FIFO EN pin is sampled on power-up, and after a CLR or RESET, to determine if
the FIFO is enabled. In either serial or I2C interface modes,
FIFO EN should be tied low. Up to 128 successive instructions
can be written to the FIFO at maximum speed in parallel mode.
When the FIFO is full, any further writes to the device are
ignored. Figure 29 shows a comparison between FIFO mode
and non-FIFO mode in terms of channel update time. Figure 29
also outlines digital loading time.
ASYNCHRONOUS CLEAR FUNCTION
Bringing the CLR line low clears the contents of the DAC
registers to the data contained in the user configurable CLR
register and sets VOUT0 to VOUT39 accordingly. This function can be used in system calibration to load zero-scale and
full-scale to all channels. The execution time for a CLR is 35 µs.
BUSY AND LDAC FUNCTIONS

WITHOUT FIFO
(CHANNEL UPDATE TIME)

The AD5381 contains an extra feature whereby a DAC register
is not updated unless its x2 register has been written to since
the last time LDAC was brought low. Normally, when LDAC
is brought low, the DAC registers are filled with the contents
of the x2 registers. However, the AD5381 will only update the
DAC register if the x2 data has changed, thereby removing
unnecessary digital crosstalk.

BUSY is a digital CMOS output that indicates the status of the
AD5381. The value of x2, the internal data loaded to the DAC
data register, is calculated each time the user writes new data to
the corresponding x1, c, or m registers. During the calculation
of x2, the BUSY output goes low. While BUSY is low, the user
can continue writing new data to the x1, m, or c registers, but
no DAC output updates can take place. The DAC outputs are
updated by taking the LDAC input low. If LDAC goes low while
BUSY is active, the LDAC event is stored and the DAC outputs
update immediately after BUSY goes high. The user may hold
the LDAC input permanently low, in which case the DAC
outputs update immediately after BUSY goes high. BUSY
also goes low during power-on reset and when a falling edge is
detected on the RESET pin. During this time, all interfaces are
disabled and any events on LDAC are ignored.

POWER-ON RESET
The AD5381 contains a power-on reset generator and state
machine. The power-on reset resets all registers to a predefined
state and configures the analog outputs as high impedance. The
BUSY pin goes low during the power-on reset sequencing, preventing data writes to the device.
POWER-DOWN
The AD5381 contains a global power-down feature that puts all
channels into a low power mode and reduces the analog power
consumption to 2 µA max and digital power consumption to
20 µA max. In power-down mode, the output amplifier can be
configured as a high impedance output or can provide a 100 kΩ
load to ground. The contents of all internal registers are retained
in power-down mode. When exiting power-down, the settling
time of the amplifier will elapse before the outputs settle to their
correct values.

Data Sheet
INTERFACES
The AD5381 contains both parallel and serial interfaces.
Furthermore, the serial interface can be programmed to be
either SPI-, DSP-, MICROWIRE-, or I2C-compatible. The
SER/PAR pin selects parallel and serial interface modes. In
serial mode, the SPI/I2C pin is used to select DSP-, SPI-,
MICROWIRE-, or I2C-interface mode.
Figure 3 and Figure 5 show timing diagrams for a serial write
to the AD5381 in standalone and daisy-chain modes. The 24-bit
data-word format for the serial interface is shown in Table 18.
A/B This pin selects whether the data write is to the A or B
register when toggle mode is enabled. With toggle disabled, this
bit should be set to 0 to select the A data register.
The devices use an internal FIFO memory to allow high speed
successive writes in parallel interface mode. The user can continue writing new data to the device while write instructions are
being executed. The BUSY signal indicates the current status of
the device, going low while instructions in the FIFO are being
executed. In parallel mode, up to 128 successive instructions
can be written to the FIFO at maximum speed. When the FIFO
is full, any further writes to the device are ignored.
R/W is the read or write control bit.
A5 to A0 are used to address the input channels.
REG1 and REG0 select the register to which data is written,
as shown in Table 10.
DB11 to .DB0 contain the input data-word.
X is a don’t care condition.
To minimize both the power consumption of the device and the
on-chip digital noise, the active interface only powers up fully
when the device is being written to, that is, on the falling edge
of WR or the falling edge of SYNC.
Standalone Mode
By connecting the DCEN (daisy-chain enable) pin low, standalone mode is enabled. The serial interface works with both a
continuous and a noncontinuous serial clock. The first falling
edge of SYNC starts the write cycle and resets a counter that
counts the number of serial clocks to ensure the correct number
of bits are shifted into the serial shift register. Any further edges
on SYNC, except for a falling edge, are ignored until 24 bits are
clocked in. Once 24 bits are shifted in, the SCLK is ignored. In
order for another serial transfer to take place, the counter must
be reset by the falling edge of SYNC.
DSP-, SPI-, MICROWIRE-COMPATIBLE SERIAL
INTERFACES
The serial interface can be operated with a minimum of three
wires in standalone mode or four wires in daisy-chain mode.
Daisy chaining allows many devices to be cascaded together to
increase system channel count. The SER/PAR pin must be tied
high and the SPI/I2C pin (Pin 97) should be tied low to enable
the DSP-/SPI-/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface. In
serial interface mode, the user does not need to drive the parallel input data pins. The serial interface’s control pins are
SYNC, DIN, SCLK—Standard 3-wire interface pins.
DCEN—Selects standalone mode or daisy-chain mode.
SDO—Data out pin for Daisy-chain mode.

Daisy-Chain Mode
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.
Readback Mode
Readback mode is invoked by setting the R/W bit = 1 in the
serial input register write. With R/W = 1, Bits A5 to A0, in
association with Bits REG1 and REG0, select the register to be
read. The remaining data bits in the write sequence are don’t
cares. During the next SPI write, the data appearing on the
SDO output will contain the data from the previously
addressed register.
By connecting the DCEN (daisy-chain enable) pin high, daisychain mode is enabled. 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 DIN input on the next device in the
chain, a multidevice interface is constructed. Twenty-four clock
pulses are required for each device in the system. Therefore, the
total number of clock cycles must equal 24N, where N is the
total number of AD538x devices in the chain.
For a read of a single register, the NOP command can be used
in clocking out the data from the selected register on SDO.
Figure 30 shows the readback sequence. For example, to read
back the m register of Channel 0 on the AD5381, the following
sequence should be implemented. First, write 0x404XXX to the
AD5381 input register. This configures the AD5381 for read
mode with the m register of Channel 0 selected. Note that Data
Bits DB11 to DB0 are don’t cares. Follow this with a second
write, a NOP condition, 0x000000.
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 further data from being clocked
into the input shift register.
During this write, the data from the m register is clocked out on
the DOUT line, that is, data clocked out will contain the data
from the m register in Bit DB11 to Bit DB0, and the top 10 bits
contain the address information as previously written. In
readback mode, the SYNC signal must frame the data. Data is
clocked out on the rising edge of SCLK and is valid on the
falling edge of the SCLK signal. If the SCLK idles high between
the write and read operations of a readback operation, the first
bit of data is clocked out on the falling edge of SYNC.
If SYNC is taken high before 24 clocks are clocked into the part,
this is considered a bad frame and the data is discarded.
The serial clock can be either a continuous or a gated clock. A
continuous SCLK source can only be used if it can be arranged
that 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.

Data Sheet
I2C SERIAL INTERFACE
The AD5381 features an I2C-compatible 2-wire interface
consisting of a serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line
(SCL). SDA and SCL facilitate communication between the
AD5381 and the master at rates up to 400 kHz. Figure 6 shows
the 2-wire interface timing diagrams that incorporate three
different modes of operation. In selecting the I2C operating
mode, first configure serial operating mode (SER/PAR = 1)
and then select I2C mode by configuring the SPI/I2C pin to a
Logic 1. The device is connected to the I2C bus as a slave device
(that is, no clock is generated by the AD5381). The AD5381 has
a 7-bit slave address 1010 1(AD1)(AD0). The 5 MSB are hardcoded and the 2 LSB are determined by the state of the AD1
and AD0 pins. The facility to hardware configure AD1 and AD0
allows four of these devices to be configured on the bus.
I 2C Data Transfer
One data bit is transferred during each SCL clock cycle. The
data on SDA must remain stable during the high period of the
SCL clock pulse. Changes in SDA while SCL is high are control
signals that configure START and STOP conditions. Both SDA
and SCL are pulled high by the external pull-up resistors when
the I2C bus is not busy.
START and STOP Conditions
A master device initiates communication by issuing a START
condition. A START condition is a high-to-low transition on
SDA with SCL high. A STOP condition is a low-to-high
transition on SDA while SCL is high. A START condition
from the master signals the beginning of a transmission to
the AD5381. The STOP condition frees the bus. If a repeated
START condition (Sr) is generated instead of a STOP condition,
the bus remains active.
Repeated START Conditions
A repeated START (Sr) condition may indicate a change of data
direction on the bus. Sr can be used when the bus master is
writing to several I2C devices and wants to maintain control of
the bus.
Acknowledge Bit (ACK)
The acknowledge bit (ACK) is the ninth bit attached to any
8-bit data-word. ACK is always generated by the receiving
device. The AD5381 devices generate an ACK when receiving
an address or data by pulling SDA low during the ninth clock
period. Monitoring ACK allows for detection of unsuccessful data transfers. An unsuccessful data transfer occurs if a
receiving device is busy or if a system fault has occurred.
In the event of an unsuccessful data transfer, the bus master
should reattempt communication.
AD5381 Slave Addresses
A bus master initiates communication with a slave device by
issuing a START condition followed by the 7-bit slave address.
When idle, the AD5381 waits for a START condition followed
by its slave address. The LSB of the address word is the Read/
Write (R/W) bit. The AD5381 is a receive only device; when
communicating with the AD5381, R/W = 0. After receiving the
proper address 1010 1(AD1)(AD0), the AD5381 issues an ACK
by pulling SDA low for one clock cycle.
The AD5381 has four different user programmable addresses
determined by the AD1 and AD0 bits.
Write Operation
There are three specific modes in which data can be written to
the AD5381 DAC.
4-Byte Mode
When writing to the AD5381 DACs, the user must begin
with an address byte (R/W = 0) after which the DAC acknowledges that it is prepared to receive data by pulling SDA low.
The address byte is followed by the pointer byte; this addresses
the specific channel in the DAC to be addressed and is also
acknowledged by the DAC. Two bytes of data are then written
to the DAC, as shown in Figure 31. A STOP condition follows.
This allows the user to update a single channel within the
AD5381 at any time and requires four bytes of data to be
transferred from the master.
3-Byte Mode
In 3-byte mode, the user can update more than one channel in a
write sequence without having to write the device address byte
each time. The device address byte is only required once; subsequent channel updates require the pointer byte and the data
bytes. In 3-byte mode, the user begins with an address byte
(R/W = 0), after which the DAC will acknowledge that it is prepared to receive data by pulling SDA low. The address byte is
followed by the pointer byte. This addresses the specific channel
in the DAC to be addressed and is also acknowledged by the
DAC. This is then followed by the two data bytes. REG1 and
REG0 determine the register to be updated.
If a STOP condition does not follow the data bytes, another
channel can be updated by sending a new pointer byte followed
by the data bytes. This mode only requires three bytes to be
sent to update any channel once the device has been initially
addressed, and reduces the software overhead in updating the
AD5381 channels. A STOP condition at any time exits this mode.
Figure 32 shows a typical configuration.

2-Byte Mode
PARALLEL INTERFACE
Following initialization of 2-byte mode, the user can update
channels sequentially. The device address byte is only required
once and the pointer address pointer is configured for autoincrement or burst mode.
The SER/PAR pin must be tied low to enable the parallel
interface and disable the serial interfaces. Figure 7 shows the
timing diagram for a parallel write. The parallel interface is
controlled by the following pins.
The user must begin with an address byte (R/W = 0), after
which the DAC acknowledges that it is prepared to receive
data by pulling SDA low. The address byte is followed by a
specific pointer byte (0xFF) that initiates the burst mode of
operation. The address pointer initializes to Channel 0, the data
following the pointer is loaded to Channel 0, and the address
pointer automatically increments to the next address.
CS Pin
Active low device select pin.
The REG0 and REG1 bits in the data byte determine which
register will be updated. In this mode, following the initialization, only the two data bytes are required to update a channel.
The channel address automatically increments from Address 0
to Channel 39 and then returns to the normal 3-byte mode of
operation. This mode allows transmission of data to all
channels in one block and reduces the software overhead in
configuring all channels. A STOP condition at any time exits
this mode. Toggle mode is not supported in 2-byte mode.
Figure 33 shows a typical configuration.
REG0, REG1 Pins
WR Pin
On the rising edge of WR, with CS low, the addresses on Pin A5
to Pin A0 are latched; data present on the data bus is loaded into
the selected input registers.
The REG0 and REG1 pins determine the destination register of
the data being written to the AD5381. See Table 10.

Each of the 40 DAC channels can be individually addressed.

MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING
When data is being transmitted to the AD5381, the SYNC line
is taken low (PC7). Data appearing on the MOSI output is valid
on the falling edge of SCK. Serial data from the MC68HC11 is
transmitted in 8-bit bytes with only eight falling clock edges
occurring in the transmit cycle.

configured by writing to the SPI control register (SPCR)—see
the MC68HC11 user manual. SCK of the MC68HC11 drives the
SCLK of the AD5381, the MOSI output drives the serial data

The AD5381 can be interfaced to a variety of 16-bit microcontrollers or DSP processors. Figure 35 shows the AD5381 family
interfaced to a generic 16-bit microcontroller/DSP processor.
The lower address lines from the processor are connected to A0
to A5 on the AD5381. The upper address lines are decoded to
provide a CS, LDAC signal for the AD5381. The fast interface
timing of the AD5381 allows direct interface to a wide variety
of microcontrollers and DSPs, as shown in Figure 35.

AD5381 to 8051
The AD5381 requires a clock synchronized to the serial data.
The 8051 serial interface must therefore be operated in Mode 0.
In this mode, serial data enters and exits through RxD, and a
shift clock is output on TxD. Figure 37 shows how the 8051 is
connected to the AD5381. Because the AD5381 shifts data out
on the rising edge of the shift clock and latches data in on the
falling edge, the shift clock must be inverted. The AD5381
requires its data to be MSB first. Since the 8051 outputs the
LSB first, the transmit routine must take this into account.

The PIC16C6x/7x synchronous serial port (SSP) is configured
as an SPI master with the Clock Polarity Bit = 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 AD5381. This microcontroller
transfers only eight bits of data during each serial transfer
operation; therefore, three consecutive read/write operations
may be needed depending on the mode. Figure 36 shows the
connection diagram.

AD5381
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 AD5381 is mounted should be designed so that the
analog and digital sections are separated and confined to
certain areas of the board. If the AD5381 is in a system where
multiple devices require an AGND-to-DGND connection, the
connection should be made at one point only, a star ground
point established as close to the device as possible.
For supplies with multiple pins (AVDD, DVDD), these pins
should be tied together. The AD5381 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 and 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 effective series inductance (ESI), like 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 AD5381 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 DIN and SCLK lines will help reduce crosstalk
between them (this is not required on a multilayer board
because there will be a separate ground plane, but separating the lines will help). It is essential to minimize noise on
the REFOUT/REFIN line.
externally from either an ADR421 or ADR431 2.5 V reference.
Suitable external references for the AD5381-3 include the
ADR280 1.2 V reference. The reference should be decoupled at
the REFOUT/REFIN pin of the device with a 0.1 µF capacitor.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Figure 39. Typical Configuration with External Reference
Figure 40 shows a typical configuration when using the internal
reference. On power-up, the AD5381 defaults to an external
reference; therefore, the internal reference needs to be configured and turned on via a write to the AD5381 control register.
Control Register Bit CR10 allows the user to choose the
reference value; Bit CR8 is used to select the internal reference.
It is recommended to use the 2.5 V reference when AVDD =
5 V, and the 1.25 V reference when AVDD= 3 V.

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 feedthrough through
the board. A micro-strip technique is by far the best, but is
not always possible with a double-sided board. In this technique, the component side of the board is dedicated to the
ground plane while signal traces are placed on the solder side.

TYPICAL CONFIGURATION CIRCUIT
Figure 39 shows a typical configuration for the AD5381-5
when configured for use with an external reference. In the
circuit shown, all AGND, SIGNAL_GND, and DAC_GND pins
are tied together to a common AGND. AGND and DGND are
connected together at the AD5381 device. On power-up, the
AD5381 defaults to external reference operation. All AVDD
lines are connected together and driven from the same 5 V
source. It is recommended to decouple close to the device
with a 0.1 µF ceramic and a 10 µF tantalum capacitor. In this
application, the reference for the AD5381-5 is provided
Figure 40. Typical Configuration with Internal Reference
Digital connections have been omitted for clarity. The AD5381
contains an internal power-on reset circuit with a 10 ms brownout time. If the power supply ramp rate exceeds 10 ms, the user
should reset the AD5381 as part of the initialization process to
ensure the calibration data is loaded correctly into the device.

MONITOR FUNCTION
The AD5381 channel monitor function consists of a multiplexer
addressed via the interface, allowing any channel output to be
routed to this pin for monitoring using an external ADC. In
channel monitor mode, VOUT39 becomes the MON_OUT pin,
to which all monitored signals are routed. The channel monitor
function must be enabled in the control register before any
channels are routed to MON_OUT. Table 17 contains the
decoding information required to route any channel to
MON_OUT. Selecting Channel Address 63 three-states
MON_OUT. Figure 41 shows a typical monitoring circuit
implemented using a 12-bit SAR ADC in a 6-lead SOT-23
package. The controller output port selects the channel to be
monitored, and the input port reads the converted data from
the ADC.

LDAC is used to switch between the A and B registers in
determining the analog output. The first LDAC configures the
output to reflect data in the A registers. This mode offers significant advantages if the user wants to generate a square wave at
the output of all 40 channels, as might be required to drive a
liquid crystal-based variable optical attenuator.
In this case, the user writes to the control register and enables
the toggle function by setting CR4 to CR2 = 0, thus enabling the
five groups of eight for toggle mode operation. The user must
then load data to all 40 A and B registers. Toggling LDAC sets
the output values to reflect the data in the A and B registers.
The frequency of the LDAC determines the frequency of the
square wave output.

TOGGLE MODE FUNCTION
The toggle mode function allows an output signal to be generated using the LDAC control signal that switches between two
DAC data registers. This function is configured using the SFR
control register as follows. A write with REG1 = REG0 = 0 and
A5 to A0 = 001100 specifies a control register write. The toggle
mode function is enabled in groups of eight channels using Bit
CR4 to Bit CR0 in the control register. See the AD5381 control
register description. Figure 42 shows a block diagram of toggle
mode implementation. Each of the 40 DAC channels on the
AD5381 contain an A and B data register.
The AD5381 contains a temperature shutdown function to
protect the chip if multiple outputs are shorted. The shortcircuit current of each output amplifier is typically 40 mA.
Operating the AD5381 at 5 V leads to a power dissipation of
200 mW per shorted amplifier. With five channels shorted, this
leads to an extra watt of power dissipation. For the 100-lead
LQFP, the θJA is typically 44°C/W.
The thermal monitor is enabled by the user via CR6 in the
control register. The output amplifiers on the AD5381 are
automatically powered down if the die temperature exceeds
approximately 130°C. After a thermal shutdown has occurred,
the user can re-enable the part by executing a soft power-up if
the temperature has dropped below 130°C or by turning off the
thermal monitor function via the control register.

OPTICAL ATTENUATORS
UTILIZING FIFO
Based on its high channel count, high resolution, monotonic
behavior, and high level of integration, the AD5381 is ideally
targeted at optical attenuation applications used in dynamic
gain equalizers, variable optical attenuators (VOAs), and optical
add-drop multiplexers (OADMs). In these applications, each
wavelength is individually extracted using an arrayed wave
guide; its power is monitored using a photodiode, transimpedance amplifier and ADC in a closed-loop control system. The
AD5381 controls the optical attenuator for each wavelength,
ensuring that the power is equalized in all wavelengths before
being multiplexed onto the fiber. This prevents information loss
and saturation from occurring at amplification stages further
along the fiber.
The AD5381 FIFO mode optimizes total system update rates
in applications where a large number of channels need to be
updated. FIFO mode is only available when parallel interface
mode is selected. The FIFO EN pin is used to enable the FIFO.
The status of FIFO EN is sampled during the initialization
sequence. Therefore, the FIFO status can only be changed by
resetting the device.
In a telescope that provides for the cancel-lation of atmospheric
distortion, for example, a large number of channels need to be
updated in a short period of time. In such systems, as many as
400 channels need to be updated within 40 µs. Four-hundred
channels require the use of 10 AD5381s. With FIFO mode
enabled, the data write cycle time is 40 ns; therefore, each group
consisting of 40 channels can be fully loaded in 1.6 µs. In FIFO
mode, a complete group of 40 chan-nels will update in 14.4 µs.
The time taken to update all 400 channels is
14.4 µs + 9 × 1.6 µs = 28.8 µs.
