They operate from a single 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply with Automatic test equipment ±10 V multiplying references for four-quadrant outputs. Built- Instrumentation in four-quadrant resistors facilitate the resistance matching and Digitally controlled calibration Digital waveform generation temperature tracking that minimize the number of components needed for multiquadrant applications. The feedback resistor (R ) simplifies the I-V conversion with an external buffer. The FB AD5546/AD5556 are packaged in compact TSSOP-28 packages with operating temperatures from –40°C to +125°C. The EVAL-AD5546SDZ is available for evaluating DAC perfor- mance.

Data Sheet AD5546/AD5556 DIGITAL SECTION The AD5546/AD5556 have 16-/14-bit parallel inputs. The devices are double buffered with 16-/14-bit registers. The double-buffered feature allows the update of several AD5546/AD5556 simultaneously. For the AD5546, the input register is loaded directly from a 16-bit controller bus when the WR pin 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 17). 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. Table 5.

Data Sheet AD5546/AD5556 REFERENCE SELECTION The input bias current of an op amp also generates an offset at the voltage output because of the bias current flowing in the When selecting a reference for use with the AD55xx series feedback resistor, R . FB of current output DACs, pay attention to the output voltage Common-mode rejection of the op amp is important in voltage- temperature coefficient specification of the reference. Choosing switching circuits because it produces a code-dependent error a precision reference with a low output temperature coefficient at the voltage output of the circuit. minimizes error sources. Table 11 lists some of the references available from Analog Devices that are suitable for use with this Provided that the DAC switches are driven from true wideband range of current output DACs. low impedance sources, they settle quickly. Consequently, the AMPLIFIER SELECTION slew rate and settling time of a voltage-switching DAC circuit is determined largely by the output op amp. To obtain minimum The primary requirement for the current-steering mode is an settling time in this configuration, minimize capacitance at the amplifier with low input bias currents and low input offset voltage. V node (the voltage output node in this application) of the REF Because of the code-dependent output resistance of the DAC, DAC. This is done by using low input capacitance buffer the input offset voltage of an op amp is multiplied by the variable amplifiers and careful board design. gain of the circuit. A change in this noise gain between two Analog Devices offers a wide range of amplifiers for both precision adjacent digital fractions produces a step change in the output dc and ac applications, as listed in Table 12 and Table 13. voltage due to the amplifier’s input offset voltage. This output voltage change is superimposed on 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.
