GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5547/AD5557 are dual precision, 16-/14-bit, multiplying,
low power, current-output, parallel input, digital-to-analog
converters (DACs). They are designed to operate from single
+5 V supply with ±10 V multiplying references for 4-quadrant
outputs with 6.8 MHz bandwidth.
APPLICATIONS
The built-in, 4-quadrant resistors facilitate resistance matching
and temperature tracking, which minimize the number of
components needed for multiquadrant applications. In addition,
the feedback resistor (RFB) simplifies the I-to-V conversion with
an external buffer.

The AD5547/AD5557 are available in a compact, 38-lead TSSOP
package and operate at the extended automotive temperature
range of −40°C to +125°C.

CIRCUIT OPERATION
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
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.
DAC SECTION
The AD5547/AD5557 are 16-/14-bit, multiplying, currentoutput, 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 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 18 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
inverting node of the op amp. A compensation capacitor, therefore,
may be needed between the I-to-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.

Data Sheet
AD5547/AD5557
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 AD5547s/
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 18). To make both registers
transparent, tie WR low and LDAC high. The asynchronous RS
pin resets the part to zero scale if MSB = 0 and to midscale if
MSB = 1.
ESD Protection Circuits
All logic input pins contain back-biased ESD protection Zeners
connected to ground (DGND) and VDD, as shown in Figure 19.
As a result, the voltage level of the logic input should not be
greater than the supply voltage.

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
full-scale error of the AD5547. The OP1177 and AD8628 op
amps are good candidates for the I-to-V conversion.
The voltage reference temperature coefficient (TC) and longterm 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.
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.
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.
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.
To minimize the digital ground bounce, the AD5547/AD5557
DGND terminal should be joined with the AGND terminal at
a single point. Figure 20 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 25 shows an example of a trimming circuit.
The zero-scale error can also be minimized by standard op amp
nulling techniques.

Table 9 shows some of the results for the 16-bit AD5547.
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 23). For example, with a +10 V reference,
the circuit yields a precision, bipolar –10 V to +10 V output.

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 24).
The initial accuracy of the system can be adjusted by trimming
the voltage reference ADR0x with a digital potentiometer (see
Figure 25). The AD5170 provides a one-time programmable
(OTP), 8-bit adjustment that is ideal and reliable for such
calibration. Analog Devices, Inc., OTP digital potentiometer
comes with programmable software that simplifies factory
calibration.

REFERENCE SELECTION
When selecting a reference for use with the AD55xx series of
current output DACs, pay attention to the output voltage,
temperature coefficient specification of the reference. Choosing
a precision reference with a low output temperature coefficient
minimizes error sources. Table 10 lists some of the references
available from Analog Devices, Inc., that are suitable for use
with this range of current output DACs.
AMPLIFIER SELECTION
The primary requirement for the current-steering mode is an
amplifier with low input bias currents and low input offset voltage.
Because of the code-dependent output resistance of the DAC,
the input offset voltage of an op amp is multiplied by the variable
gain of the circuit. A change in this noise gain between two
adjacent digital fractions produces a step change in the output
voltage due to the amplifier’s input offset voltage. This output
voltage change is superimposed upon the desired change in output
between the two codes and gives rise to a differential linearity error,
which, if large enough, can cause the DAC to be nonmonotonic.
The input bias current of an op amp also generates an offset at
the voltage output because of the bias current flowing in the
feedback resistor, RFB.
Common-mode rejection of the op amp is important in voltageswitching circuits because it produces a code-dependent error
at the voltage output of the circuit.
Provided that the DAC switches are driven from true wideband
low impedance sources (VIN and AGND), they settle quickly.
Consequently, the slew rate and settling time of a voltage-switching
DAC circuit is determined largely by the output op amp. To obtain
minimum settling time in this configuration, minimize capacitance
at the VREF node (the voltage output node in this application) of
the DAC. This is done by using low input capacitance buffer
amplifiers and careful board design.
Analog Devices offers a wide range of amplifiers for both precision
dc and ac applications, as listed in Table 11 and Table 12.
