GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5790 1 is a single 20-bit, unbuffered voltage-output DAC
that operates from a bipolar supply of up to 33 V. The AD5790
accepts a positive reference input in the range of 5 V to VDD −
2.5 V and a negative reference input in the range of VSS + 2.5 V
to 0 V. The AD5790 offers a relative accuracy specification of
±2 LSB maximum range, and operation is guaranteed monotonic with a −1 LSB to +3 LSB DNL specification.
The part uses a versatile 3-wire serial interface that operates at
clock rates of up to 35 MHz and is compatible with standard
SPI, QSPI™, MICROWIRE™, and DSP interface standards.
Reference buffers are also provided on chip. The part incorporates a power-on reset circuit that ensures the DAC output
powers up to 0 V in a known output impedance state and
remains in this state until a valid write to the device takes place.
The part provides a disable feature that places the output in a
1
defined load state. The part provides an output clamp feature
that places the output in a defined load state.

Description
Analog Output Voltage.
Positive Reference Voltage Input. A voltage in the range of 5 V to VDD − 2.5 V can be connected.
Positive Analog Supply Connection. A voltage in the range of 7.5 V to 16.5 V can be connected. VDD must be
decoupled to AGND.
Active Low Reset. Asserting this pin returns the AD5790 to its power-on status.
Active Low Input. Asserting this pin sets the DAC register to a user defined value (see Table 12) and updates the
DAC output. The output value depends on the DAC register coding that is being used, either binary or twos
complement.
Active Low Load DAC Logic Input. This is used to update the DAC register and, consequently, the analog output.
When tied permanently low, the output is updated on the rising edge of SYNC. If LDAC is held high during the
write cycle, the input register is updated, but the output update is held off until the falling edge of LDAC. The
LDAC pin should not be left unconnected.
Digital Supply. Voltage range is from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. VCC should be decoupled to DGND.
Digital Interface Supply. Digital threshold levels are referenced to the voltage applied to this pin. Voltage range is
from 1.71 V to 5.5 V
Do Not Connect. Do not connect to these pins.
Serial Data Output.
Serial Data Input. This device has a 24-bit input shift register. Data is clocked into the register on the falling edge
of the serial clock input.
Serial Clock Input. Data is clocked into the input shift register on the falling edge of the serial clock input. Data
can be transferred at rates of up to 35 MHz.
Level-Triggered Control Input (Active Low). This is the frame synchronization signal for the input data. When
SYNC goes low, it enables the input shift register, and data is then transferred in on the falling edges of the
following clocks. The DAC is updated on the rising edge of SYNC.
Ground Reference Pin for Digital Circuitry.
Negative Reference Voltage Input.
Negative Analog Supply Connection. A voltage in the range of −16.5 V to −2.5 V can be connected. VSS must be
decoupled to AGND.
Ground Reference Pin for Analog Circuitry.
Feedback Connection for External Amplifier. See the AD5790 Features section for further details.
Inverting Input Connection for External Amplifier. See the AD5790 Features section for further details.
Negative Analog Supply Connection (VSS). A voltage in the range of −16.5 V to −2.5 V can be connected. VSS must
be decoupled to AGND. The paddle can be left electrically unconnected provided that a supply connection is
made at the VSS pins. It is recommended that the paddle be thermally connected to a copper plane for enhanced
thermal performance.

TERMINOLOGY
Relative Accuracy
Relative accuracy, or integral nonlinearity (INL), is a measure of
the maximum deviation, in LSB, from a straight line passing
through the endpoints of the DAC transfer function. A typical
INL error vs. code plot is shown in Figure 6.
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. A
typical DNL error vs. code plot is shown in Figure 10.
Long-Term Linearity Error Stability
Linearity error long-term stability is a measure of the stability of
the linearity of the DAC over a long period of time. It is specified in LSB for a time period of 500 hours and 1000 hours at an
elevated ambient temperature.
Zero-Scale Error
Zero-scale error is a measure of the output error when zero-scale
code (0x00000) is loaded to the DAC register. Ideally, the output
voltage should be VREFN. Zero-scale error is expressed in LSBs.
Zero-Scale Error Temperature Coefficient
Zero-scale error temperature coefficient is a measure of the
change in zero-scale error with a change in temperature. It is
expressed in ppm FSR/°C.
Full-Scale Error
Full-scale error is a measure of the output error when full-scale
code (0x3FFFF) is loaded to the DAC register. Ideally, the
output voltage should be VREFP − 1 LSB. Full-scale error is
expressed in LSBs.
Full-Scale Error Temperature Coefficient
Full-scale error temperature coefficient is a measure of the
change in full-scale error with a change in temperature. It is
expressed in ppm FSR/°C.
Gain Error
Gain error is a measure of the span error of the DAC. It is the
deviation in slope of the DAC transfer characteristic from the
ideal, expressed in ppm of the full-scale range.
Output Voltage Settling Time
Output voltage settling time is the amount of time it takes for
the output voltage to settle to a specified level for a specified
change in voltage. For fast settling applications, a high speed
buffer amplifier is required to buffer the load from the 3.4 kΩ
output impedance of the AD5790, in which case, it is the
amplifier that determines the settling time.
Digital-to-Analog Glitch Impulse
Digital-to-analog glitch impulse is the impulse injected into the
analog output when the input code in the DAC register changes
state. It is specified as the area of the glitch in nV-s and is
measured when the digital input code is changed by 1 LSB at
the major carry transition. See Figure 49.
Output Enabled Glitch Impulse
Output enabled glitch impulse is the impulse injected into the
analog output when the clamp to ground on the DAC output is
removed. It is specified as the area of the glitch in nV-sec (see
Figure 49).
Digital Feedthrough
Digital feedthrough is a measure of the impulse injected into
the analog output of the DAC from the digital inputs of the
DAC but is measured when the DAC output is not updated. It is
specified in nV-sec and measured with a full-scale code change
on the data bus, that is, from all 0s to all 1s, and vice versa.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
Total harmonic distortion is the ratio of the rms sum of the
harmonics of the DAC output to the fundamental value. Only
the second to fifth harmonics are included.
DC Power Supply Rejection Ratio
DC power supply rejection ratio is a measure of the rejection of
the output voltage to dc changes in the power supplies applied
to the DAC. It is measured for a given dc change in power
supply voltage and is expressed in μV/V.
AC Power Supply Rejection Ratio (AC PSRR)
AC power supply rejection ratio is a measure of the rejection of
the output voltage to ac changes in the power supplies applied
to the DAC. It is measured for a given amplitude and frequency
change in power supply voltage and is expressed in decibels.
Gain Error Temperature Coefficient
Gain error temperature coefficient is a measure of the change
in gain error with a change in temperature. It is expressed in
ppm FSR/°C.
Midscale Error
Midscale error is a measure of the output error when midscale
code (0x20000) is loaded to the DAC register. Ideally, the output
voltage should be (VREFP − VREFN)/2 + VREFN. Midscale error is
expressed in LSBs.

DAC ARCHITECTURE
10239-050
The AD5790 is a high accuracy, fast settling, single, 20-bit,
serial input, voltage-output DAC. It operates from a VDD supply
voltage of 7 V to 16.5 V and a VSS supply of −16.5 V to -2.5 V.
Data is written to the AD5790 in a 24-bit word format via a 3-wire
serial interface. The AD5790 incorporates a power-on reset
circuit that ensures the DAC output powers up to 0 V with the
VOUT pin clamped to AGND through a ~6 kΩ internal resistor.
SIX MSBs DECODED INTO
63 EQUAL SEGMENTS
Figure 50. DAC Ladder Structure
The architecture of the AD5790 consists of two matched DAC
sections. A simplified circuit diagram is shown in Figure 50.
The six MSBs of the 20-bit data-word are decoded to drive
63 switches, E0 to E62. Each of these switches connects one of
63 matched resistors to either the buffered VREFP or buffered
VREFN voltage. The remaining 14 bits of the data-word drive
Switches S0 to S13 of a 14-bit voltage mode R-2R ladder
network.
SERIAL INTERFACE
The AD5790 has a 3-wire serial interface (SYNC, SCLK, and
SDIN) that is compatible with SPI, QSPI, and MICROWIRE
interface standards, as well as most DSPs (see Figure 2 for a
timing diagram).
Input Shift Register
The input shift register is 24 bits wide. Data is loaded into the
device MSB first as a 24-bit word under the control of a serial
clock input, SCLK, which can operate at up to 35 MHz. The
input register consists of a R/W bit, three address bits and
20 data bits as shown in Table 6. The timing diagram for this
operation is shown in Figure 2.

STANDALONE OPERATION
CONTROLLER
The serial interface works with both a continuous and noncontinuous serial clock. A continuous SCLK source can be used
only if SYNC is held low for the correct number of clock cycles.
SERIAL CLOCK
SCLK
CONTROL OUT
SYNC
DATA OUT
In gated clock mode, a burst clock containing the exact number
of clock cycles must be used, and SYNC must be taken high
after the final clock to latch the data. The first falling edge of
SYNC starts the write cycle. Exactly 24 falling clock edges must
be applied to SCLK before SYNC is brought high again. If
SYNC is brought high before the 24th falling SCLK edge, the
data written is invalid. If more than 24 falling SCLK edges are
applied before SYNC is brought high, the input data is also
invalid.

The input shift register is updated on the rising edge of SYNC.
For another serial transfer to take place, SYNC must be brought
low again. After the end of the serial data transfer, data is
automatically transferred from the input shift register to the
addressed register. When the write cycle is complete, the output
can be updated by taking LDAC low while SYNC is high.

Daisy-Chain Operation
A continuous SCLK source can be used only if SYNC is held
low for the correct number of clock cycles. In gated clock mode,
a burst clock containing the exact number of clock cycles must
be used, and SYNC must be taken high after the final clock to
latch the data.
In any one daisy-chain sequence, do not mix writes to the DAC
register with writes to any of the other registers. All writes to the
daisy-chained parts must be either writes to the DAC registers
or writes to the control, clearcode, or software control register.
*ADDITIONAL PINS OMITTED FOR CLARITY.
10239-051
SDO
For systems that contain several devices, the SDO pin can be
used to daisy chain several devices together. Daisy-chain mode
can be useful in system diagnostics and in reducing the number
of serial interface lines. The first falling edge of SYNC starts the
write cycle. SCLK is continuously applied to the input shift
register when SYNC is low. If more than 24 clock pulses are
applied, the data ripples out of the shift register and appears on
the SDO line. This data is clocked out on the rising edge of
SCLK and is valid on the falling edge. By connecting the SDO
of the first device to the SDIN input of the next device in the
chain, a multidevice interface is constructed. Each device in the
system requires 24 clock pulses. Therefore, the total number of
clock cycles must equal 24 × N, where N is the total number of
AD5790 devices in the chain. When the serial transfer to all
devices is complete, SYNC is taken high. This latches the input
data in each device in the daisy chain and prevents any further
data from being clocked into the input shift register. The serial
clock can be a continuous or a gated clock.
Figure 51. Daisy-Chain Block Diagram
Readback
The contents of all the on-chip registers can be read back via
the SDO pin. Table 7 outlines how the registers are decoded.
After a register has been addressed for a read, the next 24 clock
cycles clock the data out on the SDO pin. The clocks must be
applied while SYNC is low. When SYNC is returned high, the
SDO pin is placed in tristate. For a read of a single register, the
NOP function can be used to clock out the data. Alternatively,
if more than one register is to be read, the data of the first
register to be addressed can be clocked out at the same time
the second register to be read is being addressed. The SDO pin
must be enabled to complete a readback operation. The SDO
pin is enabled by default.
HARDWARE CONTROL PINS
Load DAC Function (LDAC)
After data has been transferred into the input register of the
DAC, there are two ways to update the DAC register and DAC
output. Depending on the status of both SYNC and LDAC, one
of two update modes is selected: synchronous DAC update or
asynchronous DAC update.
Synchronous DAC Update
In this mode, LDAC is held low while data is being clocked into
the input shift register. The DAC output is updated on the rising
edge of SYNC.

is high) until a new value is loaded to the DAC register. The
output cannot be updated with a new value while the CLR pin is
low. A clear operation can also be performed by setting the CLR
bit in the software control register (see Table 13).
Asynchronous DAC Update
In this mode, LDAC is held high while data is being clocked
into the input shift register. The DAC output is asynchronously
updated by taking LDAC low after SYNC has been taken high.
The update now occurs on the falling edge of LDAC.
ON-CHIP REGISTERS
Reset Function (RESET)
DAC Register
The AD5790 can be reset to its power-on state by two means:
either by asserting the RESET pin or by using the software reset
control function (see Table 13). If the RESET pin is not used,
hardwire it to IOVCC.
Table 9 outlines how data is written to and read from the DAC
register.
The following equation describes the ideal transfer function of
the DAC:
Asynchronous Clear Function (CLR)
VOUT =
The CLR pin is an active low clear that allows the output to
be cleared to a user defined value. The 20-bit clear code value
is programmed to the clearcode register (see Table 12). It is
necessary to maintain CLR low for a minimum amount of time
to complete the operation (see Figure 2).When the CLR signal
is returned high the output remains at the clear value (if LDAC

AD5790 FEATURES
POWER-ON TO 0 V
Unity-Gain Configuration
The AD5790 contains a power-on reset circuit that, as well as
resetting all registers to their default values, controls the output
voltage during power-up. Upon power-on, the DAC is placed in
tristate (its reference inputs are disconnected), and its output is
clamped to AGND through a ~6 kΩ resistor. The DAC remains
in this state until programmed otherwise via the control register.
This is a useful feature in applications where it is important to
know the state of the DAC output while it is in the process of
powering up.
Figure 52 shows an output amplifier configured for unity gain.
In this configuration, the output spans from VREFN to VREFP.

AD5790
After power-on, the AD5790 must be configured to put it into
normal operating mode before programming the output. To do
this, the control register must be programmed. The DAC is
removed from tristate by clearing the DACTRI bit, and the
output clamp is removed by clearing the OPGND bit. At this
point, the output goes to VREFN, unless an alternative value is
first programmed to the DAC register.
VREFN
Figure 52. Output Amplifier in Unity-Gain Configuration
A second unity-gain configuration for the output amplifier is
one that removes an offset from the input bias currents of the
amplifier. It does this by inserting a resistance in the feedback
path of the amplifier that is equal to the output resistance of the
DAC. The DAC output resistance is 3.4 kΩ. By connecting R1
and RFB in parallel, a resistance equal to the DAC resistance is
available on chip. Because the resistors are all on one piece of
silicon, they are temperature coefficient matched. To enable this
mode of operation the RBUF bit of the control register must be
set to Logic 1. Figure 53 shows how the output amplifier is
connected to the AD5790. In this configuration, the output
amplifier is in unity gain and the output spans from VREFN to
VREFP. This unity-gain configuration allows a capacitor to be placed
in the amplifier feedback path to improve dynamic performance.

obtained with LIN COMP = 0000 for reference spans up to and

of 20 V. The default value is LIN COMP = 0000. Intermediate

using an AD8675 as an output buffer. Because the output
impedance of the AD5790 is 3.4 kΩ, an output buffer is
required for driving low resistive, high capacitive loads.

An evaluation board is available for the AD5790 to aid
designers in evaluating the high performance of the part
with minimum effort. The AD5790 evaluation kit includes
a populated and tested AD5790 printed circuit board (PCB).
The evaluation board interfaces to the USB port of a PC. Software is available with the evaluation board to allow the user to
easily program the AD5790. The software runs on any PC that
has Microsoft® Windows® XP (SP2), or Vista (32-bit or 64-bit),
