GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5821A is a single, 10-bit digital-to-analog converter
(DAC) with output current sinking capability of 120 mA. It
features an internal reference and operates from a single 2.7 V
to 5.5 V supply. The DAC is controlled via a 2-wire, I2C®compatible serial interface that operates at clock rates up to
400 kHz.
APPLICATIONS
Consumer
Lens autofocus
Image stabilization
Optical zoom
Shutters
Iris/exposure
Neutral density (ND) filters
Lens covers
Camera phones
Digital still cameras
Camera modules
Digital video cameras/camcorders
Camera-enabled devices
Security cameras
Web/PC cameras
The AD5821A incorporates a power-on reset circuit that
ensures the DAC output powers up to 0 V and remains there until
a valid write takes place. It has a power-down feature that reduces
the current consumption of the device to 1 μA maximum.
The AD5821A is designed for autofocus, image stabilization,
and optical zoom applications in camera phones, digital still
cameras, and camcorders.
The AD5821A is also suitable for many industrial applications,
such as controlling temperature, light, and movement without
derating over temperatures ranging from −30°C to +85°C.
The I2C 7-bit address for the AD5821A is 0xC.

AD5821A
TERMINOLOGY
Relative Accuracy
For the DAC, relative accuracy or integral nonlinearity (INL)
is a measurement of the maximum deviation, in LSB, from a
straight line passing through the endpoints of the DAC transfer function. A typical INL vs. code plot is shown in Figure 5.
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)
Differential nonlinearity is the difference between the measured
change and the ideal 1 LSB change between any two adjacent
codes. A specified differential nonlinearity of ±1 LSB maximum
ensures monotonicity. This DAC is guaranteed monotonic by
design. A typical DNL vs. code plot is shown in Figure 6.
Zero-Code Error
Zero-code error is a measurement of the output error when zero
code (0x0000) is loaded to the DAC register. Ideally, the output
is 0 mA. The zero-code error is always positive in the AD5821A
because the output of the DAC cannot go below 0 mA. This is
due to a combination of the offset errors in the DAC and output
amplifier. Zero-code error is expressed in milliamperes (mA).
Gain Error
Gain error is a measurement of the span error of the DAC. It is
the deviation in slope of the DAC transfer characteristic from
the ideal, expressed as a percent of the full-scale range.
Gain Error Drift
Gain error drift is a measurement of the change in gain error
with changes in temperature. It is expressed in LSB/°C.
Digital-to-Analog Glitch Impulse
This 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 nanoampere seconds
(nA-sec) and is measured when the digital input code is
changed by 1 LSB at the major carry transition.
Digital Feedthrough
Digital feedthrough is a measurement 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. It is specified in nanoampere seconds (nA-sec) and
measured with a full-scale code change on the data bus, that is,
from all 0s to all 1s and vice versa.
Offset Error
Offset error is a measurement of the difference between ISINK
(actual) and IOUT (ideal) in the linear region of the transfer
function, expressed in milliamperes (mA). Offset error is
measured on the AD5821A with Code 16 loaded into the DAC
register.
Offset Error Drift
Offset error drift is a measurement of the change in offset error
with a change in temperature. It is expressed in microvolts per
degree Celsius (μV/°C).

AD5821A
THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD5821A is a fully integrated, 10-bit DAC with 120 mA
output current sink capability. It is intended for driving voice
coil actuators in applications such as lens autofocus, image
stabilization, and optical zoom. The circuit diagram is shown in
Figure 20. A 10-bit current output DAC coupled with Resistor R
generates the voltage that drives the noninverting input of the
operational amplifier. This voltage also appears across the RSENSE
resistor and generates the sink current required to drive the
voice coil.
Resistor R and Resistor RSENSE are interleaved and matched.
Therefore, the temperature coefficient and any nonlinearities
over temperature are matched, and the output drift over temperature is minimized. Diode D1 is an output protection diode.

SERIAL INTERFACE
The AD5821A is controlled using the industry-standard I2C
2-wire serial protocol. Data can be written to or read from the
DAC at data rates of up to 400 kHz. After a read operation, the
contents of the input register are reset to all 0s.
An I2C bus operates with one or more master devices that
generate the serial clock (SCL) and read and write data on
the serial data line (SDA) to and from slave devices such as
the AD5821A. On all devices on an I2C bus, the SDA pin is
connected to the SDA line and the SCL pin connected to the
SCL line of the master device. I2C devices can only pull the bus
lines low; pulling high is achieved by pull-up resistors, RP. The
value of RP depends on the data rate, bus capacitance, and the
maximum load current that the I2C device can sink (3 mA for a
standard device).
At the end of the address data, after the R/W bit, the slave
device that recognizes its own address responds by generating
an acknowledge (ACK) condition. This is defined as the slave
device pulling SDA low while SCL is low before the ninth clock
pulse and keeping it low during the ninth clock pulse. Upon
receiving the ACK, the master device can clock data into the
AD5821A in a write operation, or it can clock it out in a read
operation. Data must change either during the low period of the
clock (because SDA transitions during the high period define a
start condition), or during a stop condition, as described in the
Data Format section.
DATA FORMAT
Data is written to the AD5821A high byte first, MSB first, and is
shifted into the 16-bit input register. After all data is shifted in,
data from the input register is transferred to the DAC register.
Because the DAC requires only 10 bits of data, not all bits of the
input register data are used. The MSB is reserved for an activehigh, software-controlled, power-down function.
1.8V
The data format is shown in Table 6. When referring to this table,
note that Bit 14 is unused; Bit 13 to Bit 4 correspond to the DAC
data bits, D9 to D0; and Bit 3 to Bit 0 are unused.

During a read operation, data is read in the same bit order.

RP
These eight data bits consist of a 7-bit address, plus a read/write
(R/W) bit that is 0 if data is to be written to a device, and 1 if
data is to be read from a device. Each slave device on an I2C bus
must have a unique address. The address of the AD5821A is
0001100; however, 0001101, 0001110, and 0001111 address the
part because the last two bits are unused/don’t cares (see Figure 22
and Figure 23). Because the address plus the R/W bit always
equals eight bits of data, the write address of the AD5821A is
00011000 (0x18) and the read address is 00011001 (0x19) (see
Figure 22 and Figure 23).
I2C data is divided into blocks of eight bits, and the slave generates
an ACK at the end of each block. Because the AD5821A requires
10 bits of data, two data-words must be written to it when a
write operation occurs, or read from it when a read operation
occurs. At the end of a read or write operation, the AD5821A
acknowledges the second data byte. The master generates a stop
condition, defined as a low-to-high transition on SDA while SCL
is high, to end the transaction.
I2C BUS OPERATION
RP
When the bus is idle, SCL and SDA are both high. The master
device initiates a serial bus operation by generating a start
condition, which is defined as a high-to-low transition on the
SDA low while SCL is high. The slave device connected to the
bus responds to the start condition and shifts in the next eight
data bits under control of the serial clock.

POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING AND GROUNDING
When accuracy is important in an application, it is beneficial
to consider power supply and ground return layout on the PCB.
The PCB for the AD5821A should have separate analog and digital
power supply sections. Where shared AGND and DGND is
necessary, the connection of grounds should be made at only
one point, as close as possible to the AD5821A.
Pay special attention to the layout of the AGND return path and,
and trace it between the voice coil motor and ISINK to minimize
any series resistance. Figure 24 shows the output current sink
of the AD5821A and illustrates the importance of reducing the
effective series impedance of AGND and the trace resistance
between the motor and ISINK. The voice coil is modeled using
Inductor LC and Resistor RC. The current through the voice coil
is effectively a dc current that results in a voltage drop, VCOIL,
when the AD5821A is sinking current. The effect of any series
inductance is minimal.

AD5821A
When sinking the maximum current of 120 mA, the maximum
voltage drop allowed across RSENSE is 400 mV, and the minimum
drain to source voltage of Q1 is 200 mV. This means that the
AD5821A output has a compliance voltage of 600 mV. If VDROP
falls below 600 mV, the output transistor, Q1, can no longer
operate properly and ISINK may not be maintained as a constant.
When sinking 90 mA, the maximum voltage drop allowed across
RSENSE is 300 mV, and the minimum drain to source voltage of
Q1 is 180 mV. This means that the AD5821A output has a
compliance voltage of 480 mV. If VDROP falls below 480 mV, the
output transistor, Q1, can no longer operate properly and ISINK
may not be maintained as a constant. As ISINK decreases, the
voltage required across the transistor, Q1, also decreases and,
therefore, lower supplies can be used with the voice coil motor.
As the current increases to 120 mA through the voice coil,
VCOIL increases. VDROP decreases and eventually approaches the
minimum specified compliance voltage of 600 mV (or 480 mV,
if ISINK = 90 mA). The ground return path is modeled by the
components RG and LG. The trace resistance between the voice
coil and the AD5821A is modeled as RT. The inductive effects of
LG influence RSENSE and RC equally, and because the current is
maintained as a constant, it is not as critical as the purely resistive
component of the ground return path. When the maximum sink
current is flowing through the motor, the resistive elements, RT and
RG, may have an impact on the voltage headroom of Q1 and
could, in turn, limit the maximum value of RC because of
voltage compliance.
For example, if
VBAT = 3.6 V
RG = 0.5 Ω
RT = 0.5 Ω
ISINK = 120 mA
VDROP = 600 mV (compliance voltage)
Then the largest value of resistance of the voice coil, RC, is
RC =
VBAT − [VDROP + (I SINK × RT ) + (I SINK × RG )]
=
I SINK
3.6 V − [600 mV + 2 × (120 mA × 0.5 Ω)]
120 mA
= 24 Ω
Using another example, if
VBAT = 3.6 V
RG = 0.5 Ω
RT = 0.5 Ω
ISINK = 90 mA
VDROP = 480 mV (compliance voltage specification at 90 mA)
Then the largest value of resistance of the voice coil, RC, is
RC =
VBAT − [VDROP + (I SINK × RT ) + (I SINK × RG )]
=
I SINK
3.6 V − [480 mV + 2 × (90 mA × 0.5 Ω)]
90 mA
= 33.66 Ω
For this reason, it is important to minimize any series impedance
on both the ground return path and interconnect between the
AD5821A and the motor. It is also important to note that for
lower values of ISINK the compliance voltage of the output stage
also decreases. This decrease allows the user to either use voice
coil motors with high resistance values or decrease the power
supply voltage on the voice coil motor. The compliance voltage
decreases as the ISINK current decreases.
The power supply of the AD5821A, or the regulator used to supply
the AD5821A, should be decoupled. Best practice power supply
decoupling recommends that the power supply be decoupled
with a 10 μF capacitor. Ideally, this 10 μF capacitor should be of
a tantalum bead type. However, if the power supply or regulator
supply is well regulated and clean, such decoupling may not be
required. The AD5821A should be decoupled locally with a
0.1 μF ceramic capacitor, and this 0.1 μF capacitor should be
located as close as possible to the VDD pin. The 0.1 μF capacitor
should be ceramic with a low effective series resistance and
effective series inductance. The 0.1 μF capacitor provides a low
impedance path to ground for high transient currents.
The power supply line should have as large a trace as possible to
provide a low impedance path and reduce glitch effects on the
supply line. Clocks and other fast switching digital signals should
be shielded from other parts of the board by digital ground.
Avoid crossover of digital and analog signals, if possible. When
traces cross on opposite sides of the board, they should run at
right angles to each other to reduce feedthrough effects through
the board. The best technique is to use a multilayer board with
ground and power planes, where the component side of the
board is dedicated to the ground plane only and the signal
traces are placed on the solder side. However, this is not always
possible with a 2-layer board.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Figure 26 shows a typical application circuit for the AD5821A.
The AD5821A is designed to drive both spring-preloaded and
nonspring linear motors used in applications such as lens autofocus, image stabilization, or optical zoom. The operation principle
of the spring-preloaded motor is that the lens position is controlled
by the balancing of a voice coil and spring. Figure 25 shows the
transfer curve of a typical spring-preloaded linear motor for
autofocus. The key points of this transfer function are displacement or stroke, which is the actual distance the lens moves in
millimeters (mm) and the current through the motor, measured
in milliamps (mA).

The AD5821A is designed to sink up to 120 mA, which is more
than adequate for available commercial linear motors or voice
coils. Another factor that makes the AD5821A the ideal solution for these applications is the monotonicity of the device,
ensuring that lens positioning is repeatable for the application
of a given digital word.

A start current is associated with spring-preloaded linear
motors, which is a threshold current that must be exceeded for
any displacement in the lens to occur. The start current is usually
20 mA or greater; the rated stroke or displacement is usually
0.25 mm to 0.4 mm; and the slope of the transfer curve is
approximately 10 μm/mA or less.
