Temperature range: –40°C to +105°C
The AD5346/AD5347/AD53481 are octal 8-, 10-, and 12-bit
DACs, operating from a 2.5 V to 5.5 V supply. These devices
incorporate an on-chip output buffer that can drive the output
to both supply rails, and also allow a choice of buffered or
unbuffered reference input.
APPLICATIONS
An asynchronous CLR input is also provided, which resets the
contents of the input register and the DAC register to all zeros.
These devices also incorporate a power-on reset circuit that
ensures that the DAC output powers on to 0 V and remains
there until valid data is written to the device.
The AD5346/AD5347/AD5348 have a parallel interface. CS
selects the device and data is loaded into the input registers on
the rising edge of WR. A readback feature allows the internal
DAC registers to be read back through the digital port.
The GAIN pin on these devices allows the output range to be
set at 0 V to VREF or 0 V to 2 × VREF.
Input data to the DACs is double-buffered, allowing simultaneous update of multiple DACs in a system using the LDAC pin.
Portable battery-powered instruments
Digital gain and offset adjustment
Programmable voltage and current sources
Optical networking
Automatic test equipment
Mobile communications
Programmable attenuators
Industrial process control
All three parts are pin compatible, which allows users to select
the amount of resolution appropriate for their application
without redesigning their circuit board.

TERMINOLOGY
Relative Accuracy
For the DAC, relative accuracy or integral nonlinearity (INL) is
a measure of the maximum deviation, in LSBs, from a straight
line passing through the actual endpoints of the DAC transfer
function. Typical INL versus code plots can be seen in Figure 14,
Figure 15, and Figure 16.
GAIN ERROR
AND
OFFSET
ERROR
ACTUAL
Differential Nonlinearity
Differential nonlinearity (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. This DAC is guaranteed
monotonic by design. Typical DNL versus code plots can be
seen in Figure 17, Figure 18, and Figure 19.

Offset Error
This is a measure of the offset error of the DAC and the output
amplifier. It is expressed as a percentage of the full-scale range.
If the offset voltage is positive, the output voltage still positive at
zero input code. This is shown in Figure 12. Because the DACs
operate from a single supply, a negative offset cannot appear at
the output of the buffer amplifier. Instead, there is a code close
to zero at which the amplifier output saturates (amplifier
footroom). Below this code there is a dead band over which the
output voltage does not change. This is illustrated in Figure 13.

POSITIVE
OFFSET
Gain Error
This is a measure of the span error of the DAC, including any
error in the gain of the buffer amplifier. It is the deviation in
slope of the actual DAC transfer characteristic from the ideal
and is expressed as a percentage of the full-scale range. This is
illustrated in Figure 11.

Offset Error Drift
This is a measure of the change in offset error with changes in
temperature. It is expressed in (ppm of full-scale range)/°C.
Gain Error Drift
This is a measure of the change in gain error with changes in
temperature. It is expressed in (ppm of full-scale range)/°C.
DC Power-Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR)
This indicates how the output of the DAC is affected by changes
in the supply voltage. PSRR is the ratio of the change in VOUT to
a change in VDD for full-scale output of the DAC. It is measured
in dB. VREF is held at 2 V and VDD is varied ±10%.
DC Crosstalk
This is the dc change in the output level of one DAC at midscale
in response to a full-scale code change (all 0s to all 1s and vice
versa) and output change of another DAC. It is expressed in µV.
Reference Feedthrough
This is the ratio of the amplitude of the signal at the DAC
output to the reference input when the DAC output is not being
updated, that is, LDAC is high. It is expressed in dB.
Channel-to-Channel Isolation
This is a ratio of the amplitude of the signal at the output of one
DAC to a sine wave on the reference inputs of the other DACs.
It is measured by grounding one VREF pin and applying a 10 kHz,
4 V p-p sine wave to the other VREF pins. It is expressed in dB.
Major-Code Transition Glitch Energy
This is the energy of the impulse injected into the analog output
when the DAC changes state. It is normally specified as the area
of the glitch in nV-s and is measured when the digital code is
changed by 1 LSB at the major carry transition (011 . . . 11 to
100 . . . 00 or 100 . . . 00 to 011 . . . 11).
Digital Feedthrough
This is a measure of the impulse injected into the analog output
of the DAC from the digital input pins of the device, but it is
measured when the DAC is not being written to, CS held high.
It is specified in nV-s and is measured with a full-scale change
on the digital input pins, that is, from all 0s to all 1s and vice
versa.
Digital Crosstalk
This is the glitch impulse transferred to the output of one DAC
at midscale in response to a full-scale code change (all 0s to all
1s and vice versa) in the input register of another DAC. It is
expressed in nV-s.
Analog Crosstalk
This is the glitch impulse transferred to the output of one DAC
due to a change in the output of another DAC. It is measured by
loading one of the input registers with a full-scale code change
(all 0s to all 1s and vice versa) while keeping LDAC high. Then
pulse LDAC low and monitor the output of the DAC whose
digital code was not changed. The area of the glitch is expressed
in nV-s.
DAC-to-DAC Crosstalk
This is the glitch impulse transferred to the output of one DAC
due to a digital code change and subsequent output change of
another DAC. This includes both digital and analog crosstalk. It
is measured by loading one of the DACs with a full-scale code
change (all 0s to all 1s and vice versa) with the LDAC pin set
low and monitoring the output of another DAC. The energy of
the glitch is expressed in nV-s.
Multiplying Bandwidth
The amplifiers within the DAC have a finite bandwidth. The
multiplying bandwidth is a measure of this. A sine wave on the
reference (with full-scale code loaded to the DAC) appears on
the output. The multiplying bandwidth is the frequency at
which the output amplitude falls to 3 dB below the input.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
This is the difference between an ideal sine wave and its
attenuated version using the DAC. The sine wave is used as the
reference for the DAC, and the THD is a measure of the
harmonics present on the DAC output. It is measured in dB.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
VREF
The AD5346/AD5347/AD5348 are octal resistor-string DACs
fabricated by a CMOS process with resolutions of 8, 10, and 12
bits, respectively. They are written to using a parallel interface.
They operate from single supplies of 2.5 V to 5.5 V, and the
output buffer amplifiers offer rail-to-rail output swing. The gain
of the buffer amplifiers can be set to 1 or 2 to give an output
voltage range of 0 V to VREF or 0 V to 2 × VREF. The AD5346/
AD5347/AD5348 have reference inputs that may be buffered to
draw virtually no current from the reference source. The
devices have a power-down feature that reduces current
consumption to only 100 nA at 3 V.

Figure 38. Resistor String
The architecture of one DAC channel consists of a reference
buffer and a resistor-string DAC followed by an output buffer
amplifier. The voltage at the VREF pin provides the reference
voltage for the DAC. Figure 37 shows a block diagram of the
DAC architecture. Because the input coding to the DAC is
straight binary, the ideal output voltage is given by
D
VOUT VREF N Gain
2
where:
D is the decimal equivalent of the binary code, which is loaded
to the DAC register:
0 to 255 for AD5346 (8 bits)
0 to1023 for AD5347 (10 bits)
0 to 4095 for AD5348 (12 bits)
N is the DAC resolution.
Gain is the output amplifier gain (1 or 2).

BUFFER AMPLIFIER
The DACs operate with an external reference. The AD5346/
AD5347/AD5348 have a reference input for each pair of DACs.
The reference inputs may be configured as buffered or
unbuffered. This option is controlled by the BUF pin.
In buffered mode (BUF = 1), the current drawn from an
external reference voltage is virtually zero because the impedance is at least 10 MΩ. The reference input range is 1 V to VDD.
In unbuffered mode (BUF = 0), the user can have a reference
voltage as low as 0.25 V and as high as VDD because there is no
restriction due to headroom and footroom of the reference
amplifier. The impedance is still large at typically 90 kΩ for 0 V
to VREF mode and 45 kΩ for 0 V to 2 × VREF mode.
If using an external buffered reference (such as REF192), there
is no need to use the on-chip buffer.
OUTPUT AMPLIFIER
If a gain of +1 is selected (GAIN = 0), the output range is

If a gain of +2 is selected (GAIN = +1), the output range is

Figure 37. Single DAC Channel Architecture
RESISTOR STRING
The resistor string section is shown in Figure 38. It is simply a
string of resistors, each of value R. The digital code loaded to
the DAC register determines at what node on the string the
voltage is tapped off to be fed into the output amplifier. The
voltage is tapped off by closing one of the switches connecting
the string to the amplifier. Because it is a string of resistors, it is
guaranteed monotonic.
The output amplifier is capable of driving a load of 2 kΩ to
GND or VDD, in parallel with 500 pF to GND or VDD. The
source and sink capabilities of the output amplifier can be seen
in Figure 24.
The slew rate is 0.7 V/μs with a half-scale settling time to ±0.5 LSB
(at 8 bits) of 6 s with the output unloaded. See Figure 29.

Double-Buffered Interface
Load DAC Input (LDAC)
The AD5346/AD5347/AD5348 DACs all have double-buffered
interfaces consisting of an input register and a DAC register.
DAC data, BUF, and GAIN inputs are written to the input register under control of the Chip Select (CS) and Write (WR) pins.
LDAC transfers data from the input register to the DAC register,
and therefore updates the outputs. The LDAC function enables
double-buffering of the DAC data, GAIN data, and BUF. There
are two LDAC modes:
Access to the DAC register is controlled by the LDAC function.
When LDAC is high, the DAC register is latched and the input
register may change state without affecting the contents of the
DAC register. However, when LDAC is brought low, the DAC
register becomes transparent and the contents of the input
register are transferred to it. The gain and buffer control signals
are also double-buffered and are updated only when LDAC is
taken low.
This is useful if the user requires simultaneous updating of all
DACs and peripherals. The user can write to all input registers
individually and then, by pulsing the LDAC input low, all
outputs update simultaneously.
These parts contain an extra feature whereby the DAC register
is not updated unless its input register has been updated since
the last time that LDAC was brought low. Normally, when
LDAC is brought low, the DAC registers are filled with the
contents of the input registers. In the case of the AD5346/
AD5347/AD5348, the part updates the DAC register only if the
input register has been changed since the last time the DAC
register was updated. This removes unnecessary crosstalk.
In synchronous mode, the DAC register is updated after
new data is read in on the rising edge of the WR input.
LDAC can be tied permanently low or pulsed as shown in
Figure 3.
In asynchronous mode, the outputs are not updated at the
same time that the input register is written to. When LDAC
goes low, the DAC register is updated with the contents of
the input register.
POWER-ON RESET
The AD5346/AD5347/AD5348 have a power-on reset function,
so that they power up in a defined state. The power-on state is
Normal operation
Reference input buffered
0 V to VREF output range
Output voltage set to 0 V
Both input and DAC registers are filled with zeros and remain
so until a valid write sequence is made to the device. This is
particularly useful in applications where it is important to know
the state of the DAC outputs while the device is powering up.
Clear Input (CLR)
POWER-DOWN MODE
CLR is an active low, asynchronous clear that resets the input
and DAC registers.
The AD5346/AD5347/AD5348 have low power consumption,
dissipating typically 2.4 mW with a 3 V supply and 5 mW with
a 5 V supply. Power consumption can be further reduced when
the DACs are not in use by putting them into power-down
mode, which is selected by taking the PD pin low.
Chip Select Input (CS)
CS is an active low input that selects the device.
Write Input (WR)
WR is an active low input that controls writing of data to the
device. Data is latched into the input register on the rising edge
of WR.
Read Input (RD)
RD is an active low input that controls when data is read back
from the internal DAC registers. On the falling edge of RD, data
is shifted onto the data bus. Under the conditions of a high
capacitive load and high supplies, the user must ensure that the
dynamic current remains at an acceptable level, therefore
ensuring that the die temperature is within specification. The
die temperature can be calculated as
When the PD pin is high, the DACs work normally with a typical power consumption of 1 mA at 5 V (0.8 mA at 3 V). In
power-down mode, however, the supply current falls to 400 nA
at 5 V (120 nA at 3 V) when the DACs are powered down. Not
only does the supply current drop, but the output stage is also
internally switched from the output of the amplifier, making it
open-circuit. This has the advantage that the outputs are threestate while the part is in power-down mode, and provides a
defined input condition for whatever is connected to the outputs
of the DAC amplifiers. The output stage is illustrated in Figure 39.

AD5346/AD5347/AD5348
The bias generator, the output amplifier, the resistor string, and
all other associated linear circuitry are all shut down when the
power-down mode is activated. However, the contents of the
registers are unaffected when in power-down. The time to exit
power-down is typically 2.5 s for VDD = 5 V and 5 µs when VDD
= 3 V. This is the time from a rising edge on the PD pin to when
the output voltage deviates from its power-down voltage. See
Figure 31.
The AD5347 and AD5348 data bus must be at least 10 and 12
bits wide, respectively, and are best suited to a 16-bit data bus
system.
Examples of data formats for putting GAIN and BUF on a
16-bit data bus are shown in Figure 40. Note that any unused
bits above the actual DAC data may be used for GAIN and BUF.

AD5348
In many applications, the GAIN and BUF pins are hardwired.
However, if more flexibility is required, they can be included in
a data bus. This enables the user to software program GAIN,
giving the option of doubling the resolution in the lower half of
the DAC range. In a bused system, GAIN and BUF may be
treated as data inputs because they are written to the device
during a write operation and take effect when LDAC is taken
low. This means that the reference buffers and the output
amplifier gain of multiple DAC devices can be controlled using
common GAIN and BUF lines. Note that GAIN and BUF are
not read back during an RD operation.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
TYPICAL APPLICATION CIRCUITS
The AD5346/AD5347/AD5348 can be used with a wide range
of reference voltages, especially if the reference inputs are
configured as unbuffered, in which case the devices offer full,
one-quadrant multiplying capability over a reference range of
0.25 V to VDD. More typically, these devices may be used with a
fixed, precision reference voltage. Figure 41 shows a typical
setup for the devices when using an external reference
connected to the reference inputs. Suitable references for 5 V
operation are the AD780, ADR381, and REF192 (2.5 V references). For 2.5 V operation, suitable external references are the
AD589 and the AD1580 (1.2 V band gap references).
BIPOLAR OPERATION USING THE
AD5346/AD5347/AD5348
The AD5346/AD5347/AD5348 have been designed for singlesupply operation, but a bipolar output range is also possible by
using the circuit shown in Figure 42. This circuit has an output
voltage range of ±5 V. Rail-to-rail operation at the amplifier
output is achievable using an AD820, an AD8519, or an OP196
as the output amplifier.

DECODING MULTIPLE AD5346/AD5347/AD5348s
The 74HC139 is used as a 2-line to 4-line decoder to address
any of the DACs in the system. To prevent timing errors from
occurring, the enable input should be brought to its inactive
state while the coded address inputs are changing state.
Figure 43 shows a diagram of a typical setup for decoding
multiple devices in a system. Once data has been written
sequentially to all DACs in a system, all the DACs can be
updated simultaneously using a common LDAC line. A common CLR line can also be used to reset all DAC outputs to 0 V.

PROGRAMMABLE CURRENT SOURCE
Figure 45 shows the AD5346/AD5347/AD5348 used as the
control element of a programmable current source. In this
example, the full-scale current is set to 1 mA. The output
voltage from the DAC is applied across the current setting
resistor of 4.7 kΩ in series with the 470 Ω adjustment
potentiometer, which gives an adjustment of about ±5%.
Suitable transistors to place in the feedback loop of the amplifier include the BC107 and the 2N3904, which enable the
current source to operate from a minimum VSOURCE of 6 V. The
operating range is determined by the operating characteristics
of the transistor. Suitable amplifiers include the AD820 and the
OP295, both having rail-to-rail operation on their outputs. The
current for any digital input code and resistor value can be
calculated as follows:
I G VREF
D
mA
(2N R)
where:
G is the gain of the buffer amplifier (1 or 2).
D is the digital input code.
N is the DAC resolution (8, 10, or 12 bits).
R is the sum of the resistor plus adjustment potentiometer in kΩ.

The CS pin on these devices can be used in applications to
decode a number of DACs. In this application, all DACs in the
system receive the same data and WR pulses, but only the CS to
one of the DACs will be active at any one time, so data will only
be written to the DAC whose CS is low.

COARSE AND FINE ADJUSTMENT USING THE
AD5346/AD5347/AD5348
POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING AND GROUNDING
Two of the DACs in the AD5346/AD5347/AD5348 can be
paired together to form a coarse and fine adjustment function,
as shown in Figure 46. As with the window comparator
previously described, the description refers to DACs A and B.
DAC A provides the coarse adjustment, while DAC B provides
the fine adjustment. Varying the ratio of R1 and R2 changes the
relative effect of the coarse and fine adjustments. With the
resistor values shown, the output amplifier has unity gain for
the DAC A output, so the output range is 0 V to (VREF – 1 LSB).
For DAC B, the amplifier has a gain of 7.6 × 10–3, giving DAC B
a range equal to 2 LSBs of DAC A.
The circuit is shown with a 2.5 V reference, but reference
voltages up to VDD may be used. The op amps indicated allow a
rail-to-rail output swing.

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 AD5346/AD5347/AD5348
is mounted should be designed so that the analog and digital
sections are separated and are confined to certain areas of the
board. This facilitates the use of ground planes that can be
separated easily. A minimum etch technique is generally best
for ground planes because it gives the best shielding. Digital and
analog ground planes should be joined in one place only. If the
AD5346/AD5347/AD5348 is the only device requiring an
AGND-to-DGND connection, then the ground planes should
be connected at the AGND and DGND pins of the AD5346/
AD5347/AD5348. If the AD5346/AD5347/AD5348 is in a
system where multiple devices require AGND-to-DGND
connections, the connection should be made at one point only,
a star ground point that should be established as close as
possible to the AD5346/AD5347/AD5348.
The AD5346/AD5347/AD5348 should have ample supply
bypassing of 10 μF in parallel with 0.1 μF on the supply located
as close to the package as possible, 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), such as 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 device should use the largest trace
possible to provide low impedance paths and to 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. Avoid crossover of
digital and analog signals. Traces on opposite sides of the board
should run at right angles to each other to reduce the effects of
feedthrough through the board. A microstrip technique is by far
the best, but 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.
