The AD5541/AD5542 are single, 16-bit, serial input, voltage
output digital-to-analog converters (DACs) that operate from
a single 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply. The DAC output range extends
from 0 V to VREF.
The AD5542 can be operated in bipolar mode, which generates
a ±VREF output swing. The AD5542 also includes Kelvin sense
connections for the reference and analog ground pins to reduce
layout sensitivity.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The DAC output range extends from 0 V to VREF and is guaranteed
monotonic, providing 1 LSB INL accuracy at 16 bits without
adjustment over the full specified temperature range of −40°C to
+85°C. Offering unbuffered outputs, the AD5541/AD5542
achieve a 1 µs settling time with low power consumption and low
offset errors. Providing a low noise performance of 11.8 nV/√Hz
and low glitch, the AD5541/AD5542 is suitable for deployment
across multiple end systems.

Single-Supply Operation. The AD5541 and AD5542 are fully
specified and guaranteed for a single 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply.
Low Power Consumption. These parts consume typically
0.625 mW with a 5 V supply and 0.375 mV at 3 V.
3-Wire Serial Interface.
Unbuffered Output Capable of Driving 60 kΩ Loads. This
reduces power consumption because there is no internal
buffer to drive.

TERMINOLOGY
Relative Accuracy or Integral Nonlinearity (INL)
For the DAC, relative accuracy or INL is a measure of the
maximum deviation, in LSBs, from a straight line passing
through the endpoints of the DAC transfer function. A typical
INL vs. code plot can be seen in Figure 6.
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)
DNL 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. Figure 9 illustrates a typical DNL vs. code plot.
Gain Error
Gain error is the difference between the actual and ideal analog
output range, expressed as a percent of the full-scale range.
It is the deviation in slope of the DAC transfer characteristic
from ideal.
Gain Error Temperature Coefficient
Gain error temperature coefficient is a measure of the change
in gain error with changes in temperature. It is expressed in
ppm/°C.
Zero Code Error
Zero code error is a measure of the output error when zero code
is loaded to the DAC register.
Zero Code Temperature Coefficient
This is a measure of the change in zero code error with a change
in temperature. It is expressed in mV/°C.
Digital-to-Analog Glitch Impulse
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-sec
and is measured when the digital input code is changed by
1 LSB at the major carry transition. A plot of the digital-toanalog glitch impulse is shown in Figure 19.
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 it is measured when the DAC output is not updated.
CS is held high while the CLK and DIN signals are toggled. It
is specified in nV-sec and is measured with a full-scale code
change on the data bus, that is, from all 0s to all 1s and vice
versa. A typical plot of digital feedthrough is shown in
Figure 18.
Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR)
PSRR indicates how the output of the DAC is affected by changes
in the power supply voltage. Power-supply rejection ratio is
quoted in terms of percent change in output per percent change
in VDD for full-scale output of the DAC. VDD is varied by ±10%.
Reference Feedthrough
Reference feedthrough is a measure of the feedthrough from the
VREF input to the DAC output when the DAC is loaded with all
0s. A 100 kHz, 1 V p-p is applied to VREF. Reference feedthrough
is expressed in mV p-p.

AD5541/AD5542
THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD5541/AD5542 are single, 16-bit, serial input, voltage
output DACs. They operate from a single supply ranging from
2.7 V to 5.5 V and consume typically 125 µA with a supply of
5 V. Data is written to these devices in a 16-bit word format,
via a 3- or 4-wire serial interface. To ensure a known power-up
state, these parts are designed with a power-on reset function.
In unipolar mode, the output is reset to 0 V; in bipolar mode,
the AD5542 output is set to −VREF. Kelvin sense connections for
the reference and analog ground are included on the AD5542.
DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG SECTION
The DAC architecture consists of two matched DAC sections.
A simplified circuit diagram is shown in Figure 22. The DAC
architecture of the AD5541/AD5542 is segmented. The four
MSBs of the 16-bit data-word are decoded to drive 15 switches,
E1 to E15. Each switch connects one of 15 matched resistors to
either AGND or VREF. The remaining 12 bits of the data-word
drive switches S0 to S11 of a 12-bit voltage mode R-2R ladder
network.

With this type of DAC configuration, the output impedance
is independent of code, while the input impedance seen by
the reference is heavily code dependent. The output voltage is
dependent on the reference voltage, as shown in the following
equation:
VOUT =
These DACs are capable of driving unbuffered loads of 60 kΩ.
Unbuffered operation results in low supply current, typically
300 μA, and a low offset error. The AD5541 provides a unipolar
output swing ranging from 0 V to VREF. The AD5542 can be
configured to output both unipolar and bipolar voltages. Figure 23
shows a typical unipolar output voltage circuit. The code table
for this mode of operation is shown in Table 7.

The AD5542 has an LDAC function that allows the DAC latch
to be updated asynchronously by bringing LDAC low after CS
goes high. LDAC should be maintained high while data is written
to the shift register. Alternatively, LDAC can be tied permanently low to update the DAC synchronously. With LDAC tied
permanently low, the rising edge of CS loads the data to the DAC.

The AD5541/AD5542 are controlled by a versatile 3- or 4-wire
serial interface that operates at clock rates up to 25 MHz and is
compatible with SPI, QSPI, MICROWIRE, and DSP interface
standards. The timing diagram is shown in Figure 3. Input data
is framed by the chip select input, CS. After a high-to-low
transition on CS, data is shifted synchronously and latched into
the input register on the rising edge of the serial clock, SCLK.
Data is loaded MSB first in 16-bit words. After 16 data bits have
been loaded into the serial input register, a low-to-high transition
on CS transfers the contents of the shift register to the DAC. Data
can be loaded to the part only while CS is low.

BIPOLAR OUTPUT OPERATION
OUTPUT AMPLIFIER SELECTION
With the aid of an external op amp, the AD5542 can be configured to provide a bipolar voltage output. A typical circuit of
such operation is shown in Figure 24. The matched bipolar
offset resistors, RFB and RINV, are connected to an external op
amp to achieve this bipolar output swing, typically RFB = RINV =
28 kΩ. Table 8 shows the transfer function for this output
operating mode. Also provided on the AD5542 are a set of
Kelvin connections to the analog ground inputs.
For bipolar mode, a precision amplifier should be used and
supplied from a dual power supply. This provides the ±VREF
output. In a single-supply application, selection of a suitable op
amp may be more difficult as the output swing of the amplifier
does not usually include the negative rail, in this case, AGND.
This can result in some degradation of the specified performance
unless the application does not use codes near zero.

The selected op amp needs to have a very low-offset voltage (the
DAC LSB is 38 μV with a 2.5 V reference) to eliminate the need
for output offset trims. Input bias current should also be very
low because the bias current, multiplied by the DAC output
impedance (approximately 6 kΩ), adds to the zero code error.
Rail-to-rail input and output performance is required. For fast
settling, the slew rate of the op amp should not impede the
settling time of the DAC. Output impedance of the DAC is
constant and code-independent, but to minimize gain errors,
the input impedance of the output amplifier should be as high
as possible. The amplifier should also have a 3 dB bandwidth of
1 MHz or greater. The amplifier adds another time constant to
the system, hence increasing the settling time of the output. A
higher 3 dB amplifier bandwidth results in a shorter effective
settling time of the combined DAC and amplifier.
FORCE SENSE AMPLIFIER SELECTION
Use single-supply, low-noise amplifiers. A low-output impedance
at high frequencies is preferred because the amplifiers need to
be able to handle dynamic currents of up to ±20 mA.
REFERENCE AND GROUND
Because the input impedance is code-dependent, the reference
pin should be driven from a low impedance source. The AD5541/
AD5542 operate with a voltage reference ranging from 2 V to
VDD. References below 2 V result in reduced accuracy. The fullscale output voltage of the DAC is determined by the reference.
Table 7 and Table 8 outline the analog output voltage or particular digital codes. For optimum performance, Kelvin sense
connections are provided on the AD5542.
If the application does not require separate force and sense
lines, tie the lines close to the package to minimize voltage
drops between the package leads and the internal die.

AD5541/AD5542
POWER-ON RESET
POWER SUPPLY AND REFERENCE BYPASSING
The AD5541/AD5542 have a power-on reset function to ensure
that the output is at a known state on power-up. On power-up,
the DAC register contains all 0s until the data is loaded from
the serial register. However, the serial register is not cleared on
power-up, so its contents are undefined. When loading data
initially to the DAC, 16 bits or more should be loaded to prevent
erroneous data appearing on the output. If more than 16 bits are
loaded, the last 16 are kept, and if less than 16 bits are loaded,
bits remain from the previous word. If the AD5541/AD5542
need to be interfaced with data shorter than 16 bits, the data
should be padded with 0s at the LSBs.
For accurate high-resolution performance, it is recommended
that the reference and supply pins be bypassed with a 10 μF
tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor.

A serial interface between the AD5541/AD5542 and the 80C51/
80L51 microcontroller is shown in Figure 28. TxD of the microcontroller drives the SCLK of the AD5541/AD5542, and RxD
drives the serial data line of the DAC. P3.3 is a bit programmable
pin on the serial port that is used to drive CS.
The 80C51/80L51 provide the LSB first, whereas the AD5541/
AD5542 expects the MSB of the 16-bit word first. Care should
be taken to ensure the transmit routine takes this into account.
When data is to be transmitted to the DAC, P3.3 is taken low.
Data on RxD is valid on the falling edge of TxD, so the clock
must be inverted as the DAC clocks data into the input shift
register on the rising edge of the serial clock. The 80C51/80L51
transmit data in 8-bit bytes with only eight falling clock edges
occurring in the transmit cycle. As the DAC requires a 16-bit
word, P3.3 must be left low after the first eight bits are transferred,
and brought high after the second byte is transferred. LDAC on
the AD5542 can also be controlled by the 80C51/ 80L51 serial
port output by using another bit programmable pin, P3.4.

the SPORT transmit alternate framing mode. The ADSP-21xx are
programmed through the SPORT control register and should be
configured as follows: internal clock operation, active low
framing, 16-bit word length. Transmission is initiated by
writing a word to the Tx register after the SPORT has been
enabled. As the data is clocked out on each rising edge of the
serial clock, an inverter is required between the DSP and the

Microprocessor interfacing to the AD5541/AD5542 is via a
serial bus that uses standard protocol that is compatible with
DSP processors and microcontrollers. The communications
channel requires a 3- or 4-wire interface consisting of a clock
signal, a data signal and a synchronization signal. The
AD5541/AD5542 require a 16-bit data-word with data valid on
the rising edge of SCLK. The DAC update can be done
automatically when all the data is clocked in or it can be done
under control of the LDAC (AD5542 only).

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
OPTOCOUPLER INTERFACE
DECODING MULTIPLE AD5541/AD5542s
The digital inputs of the AD5541/AD5542 are Schmitt-triggered so
that they can accept slow transitions on the digital input lines.
This makes these parts ideal for industrial applications where it
may be necessary to isolate the DAC from the controller via
optocouplers. Figure 29 illustrates such an interface.
The CS pin of the AD5541/AD5542 can be used to select one of
a number of DACs. All devices receive the same serial clock and
serial data, but only one device receives the CS signal at any one
time. The DAC addressed is determined by the decoder. There is
some digital feedthrough from the digital input lines. Using a
burst clock minimizes the effects of digital feedthrough on the
analog signal channels. Figure 30 shows a typical circuit.
