APPLICATIONS
Automatic test equipment
Instrumentation
Digitally controlled calibration
Digital waveform generation
The built-in 4-quadrant resistors facilitate resistance matching
and temperature tracking, which minimize the numbers of
components needed for multiquadrant applications. In addition,
the feedback resistor (RFB) simplifies the I-V conversion with an
external buffer.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5547/AD5557 are dual precision, 16-/14-bit,
multiplying, low power, current-output, parallel input, digitalto-analog converters. They are designed to operate from single
+5 V supply with ±10 V multiplying references for 4-quadrant
outputs with up to 4 MHz bandwidth.
The AD5547/AD5557 are available in a compact TSSOP-38
package and operate at the extended automotive temperature
range of –40°C to +125°C.

All static performance tests (except IOUT) are performed in a closed-loop system using an external precision OP97 I-V converter amplifier. The device RFB terminal is tied
to the amplifier output. The OP97’s +IN pin is grounded, and the DAC’s IOUT is tied to the OP97’s –IN pin. Typical values represent average readings measured at 25°C.

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.

AD5547/AD5557
CIRCUIT OPERATION
D/A CONVERTER SECTION
The AD5547/AD5557 are 16-/14-bit, multiplying, current
output, parallel input DACs. The devices operate from a single
2.7 V to 5.5 V supply, and provide both unipolar (0 V to –VREF
or 0 V to +VREF), and bipolar (±VREF) output ranges from –18 V
to +18 V references. In addition to the precision conversion RFB
commonly found in current output DACs, there are three additional precision resistors for 4-quadrant bipolar applications.
the variation of the AD5547/AD5557 output impedance. The
feedback resistance in parallel with the DAC ladder resistance
dominates output voltage noise. To maintain good analog
performance, it is recommended that the power supply is
bypassed with a 0.01 µF to 0.1 µF ceramic or chip capacitor in
parallel with a 1 µF tantalum capacitor. Also, to minimize gain
error, PCB metal traces between VREF and RFB should match.
The AD5547/AD5557 consist of two groups of precision R-2R
ladders, which make up the 12/10 LSBs, respectively. Furthermore, the 4 MSBs are decoded into 15 segments of resistor value
2R. Figure 19 shows the architecture of the 16-bit AD5547. Each
of the 16 segments and the R-2R ladder carries an equally
weighted current of one-sixteenth of full scale. The feedback
resistor RFB and 4-quadrant resistor ROFS have values of 10 kΩ.
Each 4-quadrant resistor, R1 and R2, equals 5 kΩ. In 4-quadrant
operation, R1, R2, and an external op amp work together to
invert the reference voltage and apply it to the VREF input.
With ROFS and RFB connected as shown in Figure 2, the output
can swing from –VREF to +VREF.
Every code change of the DAC corresponds to a step function;
gain peaking at each output step may occur if the op amp has
limited GBP and excessive parasitic capacitance present at the
op amp’s inverting node. A compensation capacitor, therefore,
may be needed between the I-V op amp inverting and output
nodes to smooth the step transition. Such a compensation
capacitor should be found empirically, but a 20 pF capacitor is
generally adequate for the compensation.
The VDD power is used primarily by the internal logic to drive
the DAC switches. Note that the output precision degrades if the
operating voltage falls below the specified voltage. Users should
also avoid using switching regulators because device power
supply rejection degrades at higher frequencies.
The reference voltage inputs exhibit a constant input resistance
of 5 kΩ ± 20%. The impedance of IOUT, the DAC output, is code
dependent. External amplifier choice should take into account

AD5547/AD5557
DIGITAL SECTION
The AD5547/AD5557 have 16-/14-bit parallel inputs. The
devices are double-buffered with 16-/14-bit registers. The double-buffered feature allows the simultaneous update of several
AD5547/AD5557s. For the AD5547, the input register is loaded
directly from a 16-bit controller bus when WR is brought low.
The DAC register is updated with data from the input register
when LDAC is brought high. Updating the DAC register
updates the DAC output with the new data (see Figure 19). To
make both registers transparent, tie WR low and LDAC high.
The asynchronous RS pin resets the part to zero scale if the
MSB pin = 0, and to midscale if the MSB pin = 1.
ESD Protection Circuits
All logic input pins contain back-biased ESD protection Zeners
connected to ground (GND) and VDD, as shown in Figure 20. As
a result, the voltage level of the logic input should not be greater
than the supply voltage.
VDD
PCB LAYOUT, POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING, AND
GROUND CONNECTIONS
It is a good practice to employ a compact, minimum-lead length
PCB layout design. The leads to the input should be as short as
possible to minimize IR drop and stray inductance.
The PCB metal traces between VREF and RFB should also be
matched to minimize gain error.
Figure 20. Equivalent ESD Protection Circuits
Amplifier Selection
In addition to offset voltage, the bias current is important in op
amp selection for precision current output DACs. A 30 nA input
bias current in the op amp contributes to 1 LSB in the AD5547’s
full-scale error. The OP1177 and AD8628 op amps are good
candidates for the I-V conversion.
To minimize the digital ground bounce, the AD5547/AD5557
DGND terminal should be joined with the AGND terminal at a
single point. Figure 21 illustrates the basic supply-bypassing
configuration and AGND/DGND connection for the
AD5547/AD5557.
Reference Selection
The initial accuracy and rated output of the voltage reference
determine the full-span adjustment. The initial accuracy of the
reference is usually a secondary concern because it can be
trimmed. Figure 26 shows an example of a trimming circuit.
The zero-scale error can also be minimized by standard op amp
nulling techniques.

Similarly, the same 5 V reference with a ±50 ppm long-term
drift means the output may change by ±250 µV over time.
Therefore, it is practical to calibrate a system periodically to
maintain its optimum precision.
It is also essential to bypass the power supply with quality
capacitors for optimum stability. Supply leads to the device
should be bypassed with 0.01 µF to 0.1 µF disc or chip ceramic
capacitors. Low ESR 1 µF to 10 µF tantalum or electrolytic
capacitors should also be applied at the supply in parallel with
the ceramic capacitor to minimize transient disturbance and
filter out low frequency ripple.

DIGITAL
INPUTS
The voltage reference temperature coefficient and long-term
drift are primary considerations. For example, a 5 V reference
with a TC of 5 ppm/°C means the output changes by 25 µV/°C.
As a result, a reference operating at 55°C contributes an
additional 750 µV full-scale error.

APPLICATIONS
UNIPOLAR MODE
2-Quadrant Multiplying Mode, VOUT = 0 V to –VREF
In this case, the output voltage polarity is opposite the VREF
polarity (see Figure 22). Table 7 shows the negative output
versus code for the AD5547.
The AD5547/AD5557 DAC architecture uses a current-steering
R-2R ladder design that requires an external reference and op
amp to convert the unipolar mode of output voltage to
VOUT = –VREF × D/65,536 (AD5547)

Table 9. AD5547 Output vs. Code
The AD5547/AD5557 contain on-chip all the 4-quadrant
resistors necessary for precision bipolar multiplying operation.
Such a feature minimizes the number of exponent components
to only a voltage reference, dual op amp, and compensation
capacitor (see Figure 24). For example, with a +10 V reference,
the circuit yields a precision, bipolar –10 V to +10 V output.

AC Reference Signal Attenuator
System Calibration
Besides handling the digital waveform decoded from the
parallel input data, the AD5547/AD5557 can also handle low
frequency ac reference signals for signal attenuation, channel
equalization, and waveform generation applications. The
maximum signal range can be up to ±18 V (See Figure 25).
The initial accuracy of the system can be adjusted by trimming
the voltage reference ADR0x with a digital potentiometer (see
Figure 26). The AD5170 provides a one-time programmable
(OTP), 8-bit adjustment that is ideal and reliable for such
calibration. ADI’s OTP digital potentiometer comes with
programmable software that simplifies factory calibration.
