C | Page 2 of 28 AD5372/AD5373 GENERAL DESCRIPTION The AD5372/AD5373 contain 32 16-/14-bit DACs in 64-lead LQFP and LFCSP packages. The devices provide buffered voltage outputs with a nominal span of 4x the reference voltage. The gain and offset of each DAC can be independently trimmed to remove errors. For even greater flexibility, the device is divided into four groups of eight DACs. Two offset DACs allow the output range of the groups to be altered. Group 0 can be adjusted by Offset DAC 0, and Group 1 to Group 3 can be adjusted by Offset DAC 1. The AD5372/AD5373 offer guaranteed operation over a wide supply range: VSS from -16.5 V to -4.5 V and VDD from 9 V to 16.5 V. The output amplifier headroom requirement is 1.4 V operating with a load current of 1 mA. The AD5372/AD5373 have a high speed serial interface that is compatible with SPI, QSPITM, MICROWIRETM, and DSP interface standards and can handle clock speeds of up to 50 MHz. The DAC registers are updated on reception of new data. All the outputs can be updated simultaneously by taking the LDAC input low. Each channel has a programmable gain and an offset adjust register. Each DAC output is gained and buffered on chip with respect to an external SIGGNDx input. The DAC outputs can also be switched to SIGGNDx via the CLR pin. Table 1.

C | Page 13 of 28 0.50 AD5372/AD5373 TERMINOLOGY Integral Nonlinearity (INL) Integral nonlinearity, 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 least significant bits (LSB). 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. Zero-Scale Error Zero-scale error is the error in the DAC output voltage when all 0s are loaded into the DAC register. Zero-scale error is a measure of the difference between VOUT (actual) and VOUT (ideal), expressed in millivolts, when the channel is at its minimum value. Zero-scale error is mainly due to offsets in the output amplifier. Full-Scale Error Full-scale error is the error in the DAC output voltage when all 1s are loaded into the DAC register. Full-scale error is a measure of the difference between VOUT (actual) and VOUT (ideal), expressed in millivolts, when the channel is at its maximum value. Full-scale error does not include zero-scale error. Gain Error Gain error is the difference between full-scale error and zero-scale error. It is expressed as a percentage of the fullscale range (FSR). Output Voltage Settling Time Output voltage settling time is the amount of time it takes for the output of a DAC to settle to a specified level for a full-scale input change. Digital-to-Analog Glitch Energy Digital-to-analog glitch energy is the amount of energy that is 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 0x7FFF and 0x8000 (AD5372) or 0x1FFF and 0x2000 (AD5373). Channel-to-Channel Isolation Channel-to-channel isolation refers to the proportion of input signal from the reference input of one DAC that appears at the output of another DAC operating from another reference. It is expressed in decibels and measured at midscale. DAC-to-DAC Crosstalk DAC-to-DAC crosstalk is the glitch impulse that appears at the output of one converter due to both the digital change and subsequent analog output change at another converter. It is specified in nV-s. Digital Crosstalk Digital crosstalk is defined as the glitch impulse transferred to the output of one converter due to a change in the DAC register code of another converter. It is specified in nV-s. Digital Feedthrough When the device is not selected, high frequency logic activity on the digital inputs of the device can be capacitively coupled both across and through the device to appear as noise on the VOUT pins. It can also be coupled along the supply and ground lines. This noise is digital feedthrough. Gain Error = Full-Scale Error - Zero-Scale Error VOUT Temperature Coefficient The VOUT temperature coefficient includes output error contributions from linearity, offset, and gain drift. DC Output Impedance DC output impedance is the effective output source resistance. It is dominated by package lead resistance. DC Crosstalk The DAC outputs are buffered by op amps that share common VDD and VSS power supplies. If the dc load current changes in one channel (due to an update), this change can result in a further dc change in one or more channel outputs. This effect is more significant at high load currents and is reduced as the load currents are reduced. With high impedance loads, the effect is virtually immeasurable. Multiple VDD and VSS terminals are provided to minimize dc crosstalk. Output Noise Spectral Density Output noise spectral density is a measure of internally generated random noise. Random noise is characterized as a spectral density (voltage per Hz). It is measured by loading all DACs to midscale and measuring noise at the output. It is measured in nV/Hz. Rev. C | Page 14 of 28 AD5372/AD5373 THEORY OF OPERATION DAC ARCHITECTURE The AD5372/AD5373 contain 32 DAC channels and 32 output amplifiers in a single package. The architecture of a single DAC channel consists of a 16-bit (AD5372) or 14-bit (AD5373) resistor-string DAC followed by an output buffer amplifier. The resistor-string section is simply a string of resistors (of equal value) from VREF0 or VREF1 to AGND. This type of architecture guarantees DAC monotonicity. The 16-bit (AD5372) or 14-bit (AD5373) binary digital code loaded to the DAC register determines at which node on the string the voltage is tapped off before being fed into the output amplifier. The output amplifier multiplies the DAC output voltage by 4. The nominal output span is 12 V with a 3 V reference and 20 V with a 5 V reference. CHANNEL GROUPS The 32 DAC channels of the AD5372/AD5373 are arranged into four groups of eight channels. The eight DACs of Group 0 derive their reference voltage from VREF0. Group 1 to Group 3 derive their reference voltage from VREF1. Each group has its own signal ground pin. Table 7.

These registers store the final, calibrated DAC data after gain and offset trimming. They are not readable or directly writable. Data registers from which the DACs take their final input data. The DAC registers are updated from the X2A or X2B registers. They are not readable or directly writable. Offset DAC 0 data register: sets offset for Group 0. Offset DAC 1 data register: sets offset for Group 1 to Group 3. Bit 2 = A/B. 0 = global selection of X1A input data registers. 1 = global selection of X1B input data registers. Bit 1 = enable thermal shutdown. 0 = disable thermal shutdown. 1 = enable thermal shutdown. Bit 0 = software power-down. 0 = software power-up. 1 = software power-down. Each bit in this register determines whether a DAC in Group 0 takes its data from Register X2A or Register X2B (0 = X2A, 1 = X2B). Each bit in this register determines whether a DAC in Group 1 takes its data from Register X2A or Register X2B (0 = X2A, 1 = X2B). Each bit in this register determines whether a DAC in Group 2 takes its data from Register X2A or Register X2B (0 = X2A, 1 = X2B). Each bit in this register determines whether a DAC in Group 3 takes its data from Register X2A or Register X2B (0 = X2A, 1 = X2B). Table 8.

The actual DAC data-word can be written to either the X1A or the X1B input register, depending on the setting of the A/B bit in the control register. If the A/B bit is 0, data is written to the X1A register. If the A/B bit is 1, data is written to the X1B register. Note that this single bit is a global control and affects every DAC channel in the device. It is not possible to set up the device on a perchannel basis so that some writes are to X1A registers and some writes are to X1B registers. All DACs in the AD5372/AD5373 can be updated simultaneously by taking LDAC low when each DAC register is updated from either its X2A or X2B register, depending on the setting of the A/B select registers. The DAC register is not readable or directly writable by the user. LDAC can be permanently tied low, and the DAC output is updated whenever new data appears in the appropriate DAC register. X1B REGISTER MUX X2B REGISTER DAC REGISTER DAC C REGISTER 05815-018 M REGISTER Figure 19. Data Registers Associated with Each DAC Channel Each DAC channel also has a gain (M) register and an offset (C) register, which allow trimming out of the gain and offset errors of the entire signal chain. Data from the X1A register is operated on by a digital multiplier and adder controlled by the contents of the M and C registers. The calibrated DAC data is then stored in the X2A register. Similarly, data from the X1B register is operated on by the multiplier and adder and stored in the X2B register. Although a multiplier and adder symbol are shown in Figure 19 for each channel, there is only one multiplier and one adder in the device, which are shared among all channels. This has implications for the update speed when several channels are updated at once, as described in the Register Update Rates section. Each time data is written to the X1A register, or to the M or C register with the A/B control bit set to 0, the X2A data is recalculated and the X2A register is automatically updated. Similarly, X2B is updated each time data is written to X1B, or to M or C with A/B set to 1. The X2A and X2B registers are not readable or directly writable by the user. When the output range is adjusted by changing the value of the offset DAC, an extra offset is introduced due to the gain error of the offset DAC. The amount of offset is dependent on the magnitude of the reference and how much the offset DAC moves from its default value. See the Specifications section for this offset. The worst-case offset occurs when the offset DAC is at positive or negative full scale. This value can be added to the offset present in the main DAC channel to give an indication of the overall offset for that channel. In most cases, the offset can be removed by programming the C register of the channel with an appropriate value. The extra offset caused by the offset DAC needs to be taken into account only when the offset DAC is changed from its default value. Figure 20 shows the allowable code range that can be loaded to the offset DAC, depending on the reference value used. Thus, for a 5 V reference, the offset DAC should not be programmed with a value greater than 8192 (0x2000). 5 RESERVED Data output from the X2A and X2B registers is routed to the final DAC register by a multiplexer. Whether each individual DAC takes its data from the X2A or from the X2B register is controlled by an 8-bit A/B select register associated with each group of eight DACs. If a bit in this register is 0, the DAC takes its data from the X2A register; if 1, the DAC takes its data from the X2B register (Bit 0 through Bit 7 control DAC 0 to DAC 7). Note that because there are 32 bits in four registers, it is possible to set up, on a per-channel basis, whether each DAC takes its data from the X2A or X2B register. A global command is also provided that sets all bits in the A/B select registers to 0 or to 1. 4 3 2 1 05815-019 X2A REGISTER MUX In addition to the gain and offset trim for each DAC, there are two 14-bit offset DACs, one for Group 0 and one for Group 1 to Group 3. These allow the output range of all DACs connected to them to be offset within a defined range. Thus, subject to the limitations of headroom, it is possible to set the output range of Group 0 or Group 1 to Group 3 to be unipolar positive, unipolar negative, or bipolar, either symmetrical or asymmetrical about 0 V. The DACs in the AD5372/AD5373 are factory trimmed with the offset DACs set at their default values. This gives the best offset and gain performance for the default output range and span.

C | Page 16 of 28 16383 AD5372/AD5373 OUTPUT AMPLIFIER Because the output amplifiers can swing to 1.4 V below the positive supply and 1.4 V above the negative supply, this limits how much the output can be offset for a given reference voltage. For example, it is not possible to have a unipolar output range of 20 V, because the maximum supply voltage is 16.5 V. S1 DAC CHANNEL OUTPUT R5 60k S2 R6 10k CLR AD5373 Transfer Function CLR R1 20k R4 60k R3 20k R2 20k The input code is the value in the X1A or X1B register that is applied to the DAC (X1A, X1B default code = 5461). S3 CLR where: DAC_CODE should be within the range of 0 to 65,535. For 12 V span, VREFx = 3.0 V. For 20 V span, VREFx = 5.0 V. OFFSET_CODE is the code loaded to the offset DAC. It is multiplied by 4 in the transfer function because this DAC is a 14-bit device. On power-up, the default code loaded to the offset DAC is 5461 (0x1555). With a 3 V reference, this gives a span of -4 V to +8 V. SIGGNDx DAC_CODE = INPUT_CODE x (M + 1)/214 + C - 213 OFFSET DAC 05815-020 SIGGNDx where: M = code in gain register - default code = 214 - 1. C = code in offset register - default code = 213. Figure 21. Output Amplifier and Offset DAC The DAC output voltage is calculated as follows: Figure 21 shows details of a DAC output amplifier and its connections to the offset DAC. On power-up, S1 is open, disconnecting the amplifier from the output. S3 is closed, so the output is pulled to SIGGNDx (R1 and R2 are greater than R6). S2 is also closed to prevent the output amplifier from being open-loop. If CLR is low at power-up, the output remains in this condition until CLR is taken high. The DAC registers can be programmed, and the outputs assume the programmed values when CLR is taken high. Even if CLR is high at power-up, the output remains in the previous condition until VDD > 6 V and VSS < -4 V and the initialization sequence has finished. The outputs then go to their power-on default value. VOUT = 4 x VREFx x (DAC_CODE - OFFSET_CODE)/214 + VSIGGND TRANSFER FUNCTION The output voltage of a DAC in the AD5372/AD5373 is dependent on the value in the input register, the value of the M and C registers, and the value in the offset DAC. AD5372 Transfer Function The input code is the value in the X1A or X1B register that is applied to the DAC (X1A, X1B default code = 21,844). DAC_CODE = INPUT_CODE x (M + 1)/216 + C - 215 where: M = code in gain register - default code = 216 - 1. C = code in offset register - default code = 215. where: DAC_CODE should be within the range of 0 to 16,383. For 12 V span, VREFx = 3.0 V. For 20 V span, VREFx = 5.0 V. OFFSET_CODE is the code loaded to the offset DAC. On power-up, the default code loaded to the offset DAC is 5461 (0x1555). With a 3 V reference, this gives a span of -4 V to +8 V. REFERENCE SELECTION The AD5372/AD5373 have two reference input pins. The voltage applied to the reference pins determines the output voltage span on VOUT0 to VOUT31. VREF0 determines the voltage span for VOUT0 to VOUT7 (Group 0), and VREF1 determines the voltage span for VOUT8 to VOUT31 (Group 1 to Group 3). The reference voltage applied to each VREF pin can be different, if required, allowing the groups to have different voltage spans. The output voltage range and span can be adjusted further by programming the offset and gain registers for each channel as well as programming the offset DACs. If the offset and gain features are not used (that is, the M and C registers are left at their default values), the required reference levels can be calculated as follows: The DAC output voltage is calculated as follows: VREF = (VOUTMAX - VOUTMIN)/4 VOUT = 4 x VREFx x (DAC_CODE - (OFFSET_CODE x 4))/216 + VSIGGND If the offset and gain features of the AD5372/AD5373 are used, the required output range is slightly different. The selected output range should take into account the system offset and gain errors that need to be trimmed out. Therefore, the selected output range should be larger than the actual required range. Rev. C | Page 17 of 28 AD5372/AD5373 The required reference levels can be calculated as follows: CALIBRATION 1. 2. Identify the nominal output range on VOUT. Identify the maximum offset span and the maximum gain required on the full output signal range. Calculate the new maximum output range on VOUT, including the expected maximum offset and gain errors. Choose the new required VOUTMAX and VOUTMIN, keeping the VOUT limits centered on the nominal values. Note that VDD and VSS must provide sufficient headroom. Calculate the value of VREF as follows: The user can perform a system calibration on the AD5372/ AD5373 to reduce gain and offset errors to below 1 LSB. This reduction is achieved by calculating new values for the M and C registers and reprogramming them. VREF = (VOUTMAX - VOUTMIN)/4 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. The M and C registers should not be programmed until both the zero-scale and full-scale errors are calculated. Reducing Zero-Scale Error Zero-scale error can be reduced as follows: Reference Selection Example 3. If Nominal output range = 12 V (-4 V to +8 V) Zero-scale error = 70 mV Set the output to the lowest possible value. Measure the actual output voltage and compare it to the required value. This gives the zero-scale error. Calculate the number of LSBs equivalent to the error and add this number to the default value of the C register. Note that only negative zero-scale error can be reduced. Reducing Full-Scale Error Gain error = 3%, and Full-scale error can be reduced as follows: SIGGNDx = AGND = 0 V Then Gain error = 3% => Maximum positive gain error = 3% => Output range including gain error = 12 + 0.03(12) = 12.36 V 1. 2. 3. Measure the zero-scale error. Set the output to the highest possible value. Measure the actual output voltage and compare it to the required value. Add this error to the zero-scale error. This is the span error, which includes the full-scale error. Calculate the number of LSBs equivalent to the span error and subtract this number from the default value of the M register. Note that only positive full-scale error can be reduced. Zero-scale error = 70 mV => Maximum offset error span = 2(70 mV) = 0.14 V => Output range including gain error and zero-scale error = 12.36 V + 0.14 V = 12.5 V 4. VREF calculation Actual output range = 12.5 V, that is, -4.25 V to +8.25 V; VREF = (8.25 V + 4.25 V)/4 = 3.125 V AD5372 Calibration Example If the solution yields an inconvenient reference level, the user can adopt one of the following approaches: * * * Use a resistor divider to divide down a convenient, higher reference level to the required level. Select a convenient reference level above VREF and modify the gain and offset registers to digitally downsize the reference. In this way, the user can use almost any convenient reference level but can reduce the performance by overcompaction of the transfer function. Use a combination of these two approaches. This example assumes that a -4 V to +8 V output is required. The DAC output is set to -4 V but is measured at -4.03 V. This gives a zero-scale error of -30 mV. 1 LSB = 12 V/65,536 = 183.105 V 30 mV = 164 LSBs The full-scale error can now be calculated. The output is set to 8 V and a value of 8.02 V is measured. This gives a full-scale error of +20 mV and a span error of +20 mV - (-30 mV) = +50 mV. 50 mV = 273 LSBs The errors can now be removed as follows: 1. 2. 3. Rev. C | Page 18 of 28 Add 164 LSBs to the default C register value: (32,768 + 164) = 32,932 Subtract 273 LSBs from the default M register value: (65,535 - 273) = 65,262 Program the M register to 65,262; program the C register to 32,932. AD5372/AD5373 ADDITIONAL CALIBRATION BUSY AND LDAC FUNCTIONS The techniques described in the previous section are usually enough to reduce the zero-scale and full-scale errors in most applications. However, there are limitations whereby the errors may not be sufficiently reduced. For example, the offset (C) register can only be used to reduce the offset caused by the negative zero-scale error. A positive offset cannot be reduced. Likewise, if the maximum voltage is below the ideal value, that is, a negative full-scale error, the gain (M) register cannot be used to increase the gain to compensate for the error. The value of an X2 (A or B) register is calculated each time the user writes new data to the corresponding X1, C, or M register. 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 register (see the Register Update Rates section for more details), but no DAC output updates can take place. These limitations can be overcome by increasing the reference value. With a 3 V reference, a 12 V span is achieved. The ideal voltage range, for the AD5372 or the AD5373, is -4 V to +8 V. Using a +3.1 V reference increases the range to -4.133 V to +8.2667 V. Clearly, in this case, the offset and gain errors are insignificant, and the M and C registers can be used to raise the negative voltage to -4 V and then reduce the maximum voltage to +8 V to give the most accurate values possible. RESET FUNCTION The reset function is initiated by the RESET pin. On the rising edge of RESET, the AD5372/AD5373 state machine initiates a reset sequence to reset the X, M, and C registers to their default values. This sequence typically takes 300 s, and the user should not write to the part during this time. On power-up, it is recommended that the user bring RESET high as soon as possible to properly initialize the registers. When the reset sequence is complete (and provided that CLR is high), the DAC output is at a potential specified by the default register settings, which is equivalent to SIGGNDx. The DAC outputs remain at SIGGNDx until the X, M, or C register is updated and LDAC is taken low. The AD5372/AD5373 can be returned to the default state by pulsing RESET low for at least 30 ns. Note that, because the reset function is triggered by the rising edge, bringing RESET low has no effect on the operation of the AD5372/AD5373. CLEAR FUNCTION CLR is an active low input that should be high for normal operation. The CLR pin has an internal 500 k pull-down resistor. When CLR is low, the input to each of the DAC output buffer stages (VOUT0 to VOUT31) is switched to the externally set potential on the relevant SIGGNDx pin. While CLR is low, all LDAC pulses are ignored. When CLR is taken high again, the DAC outputs return to their previous values. The contents of the input registers and DAC Register 0 to DAC Register 31 are not affected by taking CLR low. To prevent glitches from appearing on the outputs, CLR should be brought low whenever the output span is adjusted by writing to the offset DAC. The BUSY pin is bidirectional and has a 50 k internal pull-up resistor. When multiple AD5372 or AD5373 devices are used in one system, the BUSY pins can be tied together. This is useful when it is required that no DAC in any device be updated until all other DACs are ready. When each device has finished updating the X2 (A or B) registers, it releases the BUSY pin. If another device has not finished updating its X2 registers, it holds BUSY low, thus delaying the effect of LDAC going low. 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 are updated immediately after BUSY goes high. A user can also hold the LDAC input permanently low. In this case, the DAC outputs are updated immediately after BUSY goes high. Whenever the A/B select registers are written to, BUSY also goes low, for approximately 500 ns. The AD5372/AD5373 have flexible addressing that allows writing of data to a single channel, all channels in a group, the same channel in Group 0 to Group 3, the same channel in Group 1 to Group 3, or all channels in the device. This means that 1, 4, 8, or 32 DAC register values may need to be calculated and updated. Because there is only one multiplier shared among 32 channels, this task must be done sequentially so that the length of the BUSY pulse varies according to the number of channels being updated. Table 9. BUSY Pulse Widths Action Loading input, C, or M to 1 channel2 Loading input, C, or M to 4 channels Loading input, C, or M to 8 channels Loading input, C, or M to 32 channels 1 2 BUSY Pulse Width1 1.5 s maximum 3.3 s maximum 5.7 s maximum 20.1 s maximum BUSY pulse width = ((number of channels + 1) x 600 ns) + 300 ns. A single channel update is typically 1 s. The AD5372/AD5373 contain an extra feature whereby a DAC register is not updated unless its X2A or X2B 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 X2A or X2B register, depending on the setting of the A/B select registers. However, the AD5372/AD5373 update the DAC register only if the X2A or X2B data has changed, thereby removing unnecessary digital crosstalk. Rev. C | Page 19 of 28 AD5372/AD5373 POWER-DOWN MODE TOGGLE MODE The AD5372/AD5373 can be powered down by setting Bit 0 in the control register to 1. This turns off the DACs, thus reducing the current consumption. The DAC outputs are connected to their respective SIGGNDx potentials. The power-down mode does not change the contents of the registers, and the DACs return to their previous voltage when the power-down bit is cleared to 0. The AD5372/AD5373 have two X2 registers per channel, X2A and X2B, which can be used to switch the DAC output between two levels with ease. This approach greatly reduces the overhead required by a microprocessor, which would otherwise need to write to each channel individually. When the user writes to the X1A, X1B, M, or C register, the calculation engine takes a certain amount of time to calculate the appropriate X2A or X2B value. If an application, such as a data generator, requires that the DAC output switch between two levels only, any method that reduces the amount of calculation time necessary is advantageous. For the data generator example, the user needs only to set the high and low levels for each channel once by writing to the X1A and X1B registers. The values of X2A and X2B are calculated and stored in their respective registers. The calculation delay, therefore, happens only during the setup phase, that is, when programming the initial values. To toggle a DAC output between the two levels, it is only required to write to the relevant A/B select register to set the MUX2 register bit. Furthermore, because there are eight MUX2 control bits per register, it is possible to update eight channels with a single write. Table 10 shows the bits that correspond to each DAC output. THERMAL SHUTDOWN FUNCTION The AD5372/AD5373 can be programmed to shut down the DACs if the temperature on the die exceeds 130C. Setting Bit 1 in the control register to 1 enables this function (see Table 16). If the die temperature exceeds 130C, the AD5372/AD5373 enter a thermal shutdown mode, which is equivalent to setting the power-down bit in the control register to 1. To indicate that the AD5372/AD5373 have entered thermal shutdown mode, Bit 4 of the control register is set to 1. The AD5372/AD5373 remain in thermal shutdown mode, even if the die temperature falls, until Bit 1 in the control register is cleared to 0. Table 10.

To minimize both the power consumption of the device and on-chip digital noise, the interface powers up fully only when the device is being written to, that is, on the falling edge of SYNC. The serial interface is 2.5 V LVTTL-compatible when operating from a 2.5 V to 3.6 V DVCC supply. It is controlled by four pins: SYNC (frame synchronization input), SDI (serial data input pin), SCLK (clocks data in and out of the device), and SDO (serial data output pin for data readback). SPI READBACK MODE The AD5372/AD5373 allow data readback via the serial interface from every register directly accessible to the serial interface, that is, all registers except the X2A, X2B, and DAC data registers. To read back a register, it is first necessary to tell the AD5372/AD5373 which register is to be read. This is achieved by writing a word whose first two bits are the Special Function Code 00 to the device. The remaining bits then determine which register is to be read back. If a readback command is written to a special function register, data from the selected register is clocked out of the SDO pin during the next SPI operation. The SDO pin is normally threestated but becomes driven as soon as a read command is issued. The pin remains driven until the register data is clocked out. See Figure 5 for the read timing diagram. Note that due to the timing requirements of t22 (25 ns), the maximum speed of the SPI interface during a read operation should not exceed 20 MHz. SPI WRITE MODE The AD5372/AD5373 allow writing of data via the serial interface to every register directly accessible to the serial interface, that is, all registers except the X2A, X2B, and DAC registers. The X2A and X2B registers are updated when writing to the X1A, X1B, M, and C registers, and the DAC data registers are updated by LDAC. The serial word (see Table 11 or Table 12) is 24 bits long: 16 (AD5372) or 14 (AD5373) of these bits are data bits; six bits are address bits; and two bits are mode bits that determine what is done with the data. Two bits are reserved on the AD5373. REGISTER UPDATE RATES The value of the X2A register or the X2B register is calculated each time the user writes new data to the corresponding X1, C, or M register. The calculation is performed by a three-stage process. The first two stages take approximately 600 ns each, and the third stage takes approximately 300 ns. When the write to an X1, C, or M register is complete, the calculation process begins. If the write operation involves the update of a single DAC channel, the user is free to write to another register, provided that the write operation does not finish until the first-stage calculation is complete (that is, 600 ns after the completion of the first write operation). If a group of channels is being updated by a single write operation, the first-stage calculation is repeated for each channel, taking 600 ns per channel. In this case, the user should not complete the next write operation until this time has elapsed. The serial interface works with both a continuous and a burst (gated) serial clock. Serial data applied to SDI is clocked into the AD5372/AD5373 by clock pulses applied to SCLK. The first falling edge of SYNC starts the write cycle. At least 24 falling clock edges must be applied to SCLK to clock in 24 bits of data before SYNC is taken high again. If SYNC is taken high before the 24th falling clock edge, the write operation is aborted. If a continuous clock is used, SYNC must be taken high before the 25th falling clock edge. This inhibits the clock within the AD5372/ AD5373. If more than 24 falling clock edges are applied before SYNC is taken high again, the input data becomes corrupted. If an externally gated clock of exactly 24 pulses is used, SYNC can be taken high any time after the 24th falling clock edge. The input register addressed is updated on the rising edge of SYNC. For another serial transfer to take place, SYNC must be taken low again. Table 11.

Address Bit A5 to Address Bit A0 determine which channels are written to, and the mode bits determine to which register (X1A, X1B, C, or M) the data is written, as shown in Table 13 and Table 14. Data is to be written to the X1A register when the A/B bit in the control register is 0, or to the X1B register when the A/B bit is 1. Table 13.

Figure 22 shows how the AD5372/AD5373 connects to the Analog Devices, Inc., Blackfin(R) DSP. The Blackfin has an integrated SPI port that can be connected directly to the SPI pins of the AD5372/AD5373 and programmable I/O pins that can be used to set or read the state of the digital input or output pins associated with the interface. The AD5372/AD5373 should have ample supply decoupling of 10 F in parallel with 0.1 F on each supply located as close to the package as possible, ideally right up against the device. The 10 F capacitors are the tantalum bead type. The 0.1 F capacitor should have low effective series resistance (ESR) and low effective series inductance (ESI)--typical of the common ceramic types that provide a low impedance path to ground at high frequencies-- to handle transient currents due to internal logic switching. Digital lines running under the device should be avoided because they can couple noise onto the device. The analog ground plane should be allowed to run under the AD5372/AD5373 to avoid noise coupling. The power supply lines of the AD5372/AD5373 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 digital signals should be shielded with digital ground to avoid radiating noise to other parts of the board, and they should never be run near the reference inputs. It is essential to minimize noise on the VREF0 and VREF1 lines. 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 microstrip technique is by far the best approach, but it is 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.

The printed circuit boards on which the AD5372/AD5373 are mounted should be designed so that the analog and digital sections are separated and confined to certain areas of the board. If the AD5372/AD5373 are 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. For supplies with multiple pins (VSS, VDD, DVCC), it is recommended that these pins be tied together and that each supply be decoupled only once. be taken to ensure that the ground pins are connected to the supply grounds before the positive or negative supplies are connected. This is required to prevent currents from flowing in directions other than toward an analog or digital ground. Figure 22. Interfacing to a Blackfin DSP The Analog Devices ADSP-21065L is a floating-point DSP with two serial ports (SPORTs). Figure 23 shows how one SPORT can be used to control the AD5372/AD5373. In this example, the transmit frame synchronization (TFSx) pin is connected to the receive frame synchronization (RFSx) pin. Similarly, the transmit and receive clocks (TCLKx and RCLKx) are also connected. The user can write to the AD5372/AD5373 by writing to the transmit register of the ADSP-21065L. A read operation can be accomplished by first writing to the AD5372/AD5373 to tell the part that a read operation is required. A second write operation with an NOP instruction causes the data to be read from the AD5372/AD5373. The DSP receive interrupt can be used to indicate when the read operation is complete. As is the case for all thin packages, care must be taken to avoid flexing the package and to avoid a point load on the surface of this package during the assembly process. POWER SUPPLY SEQUENCING When the supplies are connected to the AD5372/AD5373, it is important that the AGND and DGND pins be connected to the relevant ground plane before the positive or negative supplies are applied. In most applications, this is not an issue because the ground pins for the power supplies are connected to the ground pins of the AD5372/AD5373 via ground planes. When the AD5372/AD5373 are to be used in a hot-swap card, care should Rev.
