AD5541A
THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD5541A is a single, 16-bit, serial input, voltage output
DAC. It operates from a single supply ranging from 2.7 V to 5 V
and consumes typically 125 μA with a supply of 5 V. Data is written
to these devices in a 16-bit word format, via a 3- or 4-wire serial
interface. To ensure a known power-up state, this part is designed
with a power-on reset function. The output is reset to 0 V.
DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG SECTION
The DAC architecture consists of two matched DAC sections.
A simplified circuit diagram is shown in Figure 30. The DAC
architecture of the AD5541A is segmented. The four MSBs of
the 16-bit data-word are decoded to drive 15 switches, E1 to
E15. Each switch connects one of 15 matched resistors to either
AGND or V
the S0 to S11 switches of a 12-bit voltage mode R-2R ladder
network.
With this type of DAC configuration, the output impedance is
independent of code, whereas the input impedance seen by the
reference is heavily code dependent. The output voltage is
dependent on the reference voltage, as shown in the following
equation:
where:
D is the decimal data-word loaded to the DAC register.
N is the resolution of the DAC.
For a reference of 2.5 V, the equation simplifies to the following:
This gives a V
full scale loaded to the DAC.

SERIAL INTERFACE
The AD5541A is controlled by a versatile 3- or 4-wire serial
interface that operates at clock rates of up to 50 MHz and is
compatible with SPI, QSPI, MICROWIRE, and DSP interface
standards. The timing diagram is shown in Figure 3. The
AD5541A has a separate serial input register from the 16-bit
DAC register that allows preloading of a new data value into the
serial input register without disturbing the present DAC output
voltage.
Input data is framed by the chip select input, CS . After a high-
to-low transition on CS , data is shifted synchronously and
latched into the serial input register on the rising edge of the
serial clock, SCLK. After 16 data bits have been loaded into the
serial input register, a low-to-high transition on CS transfers the
contents of the shift register to the DAC register if LDAC is held
low. If LDAC is high at this point, a low-to-high transition on
CS transfers the contents into the serial input register only.
After a new value is fully loaded in the serial input register, it
can be asynchronously transferred to the DAC register by
strobing the LDAC pin. Data is loaded MSB first in 16-bit
words. Data can be loaded to the part only while CS is low.
