AD5381  
Data Sheet  
GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The AD5381 is a complete, single-supply, 40-channel, 12-bit  
denseDAC® available in a 100-lead LQFP package. All 40 channels  
have an on-chip output amplifier with rail-to-rail operation.  
The AD5381 includes a programmable internal 1.25 V/2.5 V,  
10 ppm/°C reference, an on-chip channel monitor function that  
multiplexes the analog outputs to a common MON_OUT pin  
for external monitoring, and an output amplifier boost mode,  
which allows optimization of the amplifier slew rate. The AD5381  
An input register followed by a DAC register provides double  
buffering, allowing the DAC outputs to be updated  
independently or simultaneously using the  
input.  
LDAC  
Each channel has a programmable gain and offset adjust  
register that allows the user to fully calibrate any DAC chan-  
nel. Power consumption is typically 0.25 mA/channel with  
boost mode disabled.  
contains a double-buffered parallel interface featuring 20 ns  
WR  
pulse width, an SPI-/QSPI-/MICROWIRE-/DSP-compatible serial  
interface with interface speeds in excess of 30 MHz, and an I2C-  
compatible interface that supports a 400 kHz data transfer rate.

Function  
VOUTx  
Buffered Analog Outputs for Channel x. Each analog output is driven by a rail-to-rail output amplifier operating at a  
gain of 2. Each output is capable of driving an output load of 5 kΩ to ground. Typical output impedance is 0.5 Ω.  
SIGNAL_GND(±–5)  
DAC_GND(±–5)  
AGND(±–5)  
Analog Ground Reference Points for Each Group of Eight Output Channels. All SIGNAL_GND pins are tied together  
internally and should be connected to the AGND plane as close as possible to the AD538±.  
Each group of eight channels contains a DAC_GND pin. This is the ground reference point for the internal ±2-bit DAC.  
These pins should be connected to the AGND plane.  
Analog Ground Reference Point. Each group of eight channels contains an AGND pin. All AGND pins should be  
connected externally to the AGND plane.  
AVDD(±–5)  
Analog Supply Pins. Each group of eight channels has a separate AVDD pin. These pins are shorted internally and  
should be decoupled with a 0.± µF ceramic capacitor and ±0 µF tantalum capacitor. Operating range for the AD538±-5  
is 4.5 V to 5.5 V; operating range for the AD538±-3 is 2.7 V to 3.6 V.  
DGND  
DVDD  
Ground for All Digital Circuitry.  
Logic Power Supply. Guaranteed operating range is 2.7 V to 5.5 V. It is recommended that these pins be decoupled  
with a 0.± µF ceramic and a ±0 µF tantalum capacitors to DGND.  
REFGND  
Ground Reference Point for the Internal Reference.  
REFOUT/REFIN  
The AD538± contains a common REFOUT/REFIN pin. When the internal reference is selected, this pin is the reference  
output. If the application requires an external reference, it can be applied to this pin and the internal reference can  
be disabled via the control register. The default for this pin is a reference input.

Data Sheet  
Mnemonic  
Function  
VOUT39/MON_OUT This pin has a dual function. It acts as a buffered output for Channel 39 in default mode. However, when the monitor  
function is enabled, this pin acts as the output of a 39-to-1 channel multiplexer that can be programmed to multiplex  
one of Channels 0 to 38 to the MON_OUT pin. The MON_OUT pin’s output impedance is typically 500 Ω and is  
intended to drive a high input impedance like that exhibited by SAR ADC inputs.  
SER/PAR  
Interface Select Input. This pin allows the user to select whether the serial or parallel interface is used. If it is tied high,  
the serial interface mode is selected and Pin 97 (SPI/I2C) is used to determine if the interface mode is SPI or I2C.  
Parallel interface mode is selected when SER/PAR is low.  
CS/(SYNC/AD0)  
In parallel interface mode, this pin acts as chip select input (level sensitive, active low). When low, the AD5381  
is selected.  
Serial Interface Mode. This is the frame synchronization input signal for the serial clock and data.  
I2C Mode. This pin acts as a hardware address pin used in conjunction with AD1 to determine the software address  
for the device on the I2C bus.  
WR/(DCEN/AD1)  
Multifunction Pin. In parallel interface mode, this pin acts as write enable. In serial interface mode, this pin acts as a  
daisy-chain enable in SPI mode and as a hardware address pin in I2C mode.  
Parallel Interface Write Input (edge sensitive). The rising edge of WR is used in conjunction with CS low, and the  
address bus inputs to write to the selected device registers.  
Serial Interface. Daisy-chain select input (level sensitive, active high). When high, this signal is used in conjunction  
with SER/PAR high to enable the SPI serial interface daisy-chain mode.  
I2C Mode. This pin acts as a hardware address pin used in conjunction with AD0 to determine the software address  
for this device on the I2C bus.  
DB11–DB0  
A5–A0  
Parallel Data Bus. DB11 is the MSB and DB0 is the LSB of the input data-word on the AD5381.  
Parallel Address Inputs. A5 to A0 are decoded to address one of the AD5381’s 40 input channels. Used in conjunction  
with the REG1 and REG0 pins to determine the destination register for the input data.  
REG1, REG0  
SDO/(A/B)  
In parallel interface mode, REG1 and REG0 are used in decoding the destination registers for the input data. REG1  
and REG0 are decoded to address the input data register, offset register, or gain register for the selected channel and  
are also used to decide the special function registers.  
Serial Data Output in Serial Interface Mode. Three-stateable CMOS output. SDO can be used for daisy-chaining a  
number of devices together. Data is clocked out on SDO on the rising edge of SCLK, and is valid on the falling edge of  
SCLK.  
When operating in parallel interface mode, this pin acts as the A or B data register select when writing data to the  
AD5381’s data registers with toggle mode selected (see the Toggle Mode Function section). In toggle mode, the  
LDAC is used to switch the output between the data contained in the A and B data registers. All DAC channels  
contain two data registers. In normal mode, Data Register A is the default for data transfers.  
BUSY  
Digital CMOS Output. BUSY goes low during internal calculations of the data (x2) loaded to the DAC data register.  
During this time, the user can continue writing new data to the x1, c, and m registers, but no further updates to the  
DAC registers and DAC outputs can take place. If LDAC is taken low while BUSY is low, this event is stored. BUSY also  
goes low during power-on reset, and when the RESET pin is low. During this time, the interface is disabled and any  
events on LDAC are ignored. A CLR operation also brings BUSY low.  
LDAC  
CLR  
Load DAC Logic Input (Active Low). If LDAC is taken low while BUSY is inactive (high), the contents of the input  
registers are transferred to the DAC registers and the DAC outputs are updated. If LDAC is taken low while BUSY is  
active and internal calculations are taking place, the LDAC event is stored and the DAC registers are updated when  
BUSY goes inactive. However any events on LDAC during power-on reset or on RESET are ignored.  
Asynchronous Clear Input. The CLR input is falling edge sensitive. When CLR is activated, all channels are updated  
with the data contained in the CLR code register. BUSY is low for a duration of 35 μs while all channels are being  
updated with the CLR code.  
Asynchronous Digital Reset Input (Falling Edge Sensitive). The function of this pin is equivalent to that of the power-  
on reset generator. When this pin is taken low, the state machine initiates a reset sequence to digitally reset the x1, m,  
c, and x2 registers to their default power-on values. This sequence typically takes 270 μs. The falling edge of RESET  
initiates the RESET process and BUSY goes low for the duration, returning high when RESET is complete. While BUSY  
is low, all interfaces are disabled and all LDAC pulses are ignored. When BUSY returns high, the part resumes normal  
operation and the status of the RESET pin is ignored until the next falling edge is detected.  
PD  
Power-Down (Level Sensitive, Active High). PD is used to place the device in low power mode, where the analog  
current consumption is reduced to 2 μA and the digital current consumption is reduced to 20 μA. In power-down  
mode, all internal analog circuitry is placed in low power mode, and the analog output is configured as a high  
impedance output or provides a 100 kΩ load to ground, depending on how the power-down mode is configured.  
The serial interface remains active during power-down.  
Rev. E | Page 16 of 40  
Data Sheet  
AD5381  
Mnemonic  
Function  
FIFO EN  
FIFO Enable (Level Sensitive, Active High). When connected to DVDD, the internal FIFO is enabled, allowing the user  
to write to the device at full speed. FIFO is only available in parallel interface mode. The status of the FIFO EN pin is  
sampled on power-up, and also following a CLEAR or RESET, to determine if the FIFO is enabled. In either serial or  
I2C interface modes, the FIFO EN pin should be tied low.  
DB9/(SPI/I2C)  
Multifunction Input Pin. In parallel interface mode, this pin acts as DB9 of the parallel input data-word. In serial  
interface mode, this pin acts as serial interface mode select. When serial interface mode is selected (SER/PAR = ±) and  
this input is low, SPI mode is selected. In SPI mode, DB±2 is the serial clock (SCLK) input and DB±± is the serial data  
(DIN) input.  
When serial interface mode is selected (SER/PAR = ±) and this input is high I2C Mode is selected.  
In this mode, DB±2 is the serial clock (SCL) input and DB±± is the serial data (SDA) input.  
DB±0/(SCLK/SCL)  
DB±±/(DIN/SDA)  
Multifunction Input Pin. In parallel interface mode, this pin acts as DB±0 of the parallel input data-word. In serial  
interface mode, this pin acts as a serial clock input.  
Serial Interface Mode. In serial interface mode, data is clocked into the shift register on the falling edge of SCLK.  
This operates at clock speeds up to 50 MHz.  
I2C Mode. In I2C mode, this pin performs the SCL function, clocking data into the device. The data transfer rate in  
I2C mode is compatible with both ±00 kHz and 400 kHz operating modes.  
Multifunction Data Input Pin. In parallel interface mode, this pin acts as DB±± of the parallel input data-word.  
Serial Interface Mode. In serial interface mode, this pin acts as the serial data input. Data must be valid on the falling  
edge of SCLK.  
I2C Mode. In I2C mode, this pin is the serial data pin (SDA) operating as an open-drain input/output.

TERMINOLOGY  
Relative Accuracy  
DC Output Impedance  
Relative accuracy, or endpoint linearity, is a measure of the  
maximum deviation from a straight line passing through the  
endpoints of the DAC transfer function. It is measured after  
adjusting for zero-scale error and full-scale error, and is  
expressed in LSB.  
This is the effective output source resistance. It is dominated by  
package lead resistance.  
Output Voltage Settling Time  
This is the amount of time it takes for the output of a DAC to  
settle to a specified level for a ¼ to ¾ full-scale input change,  
and is measured from the  
rising edge.  
Differential Nonlinearity  
BUSY  
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.  
Digital-to-Analog Glitch Energy  
This is the amount of energy injected into the analog output at  
the major code transition. It is specified as the area of the glitch  
in nV-s. It is measured by toggling the DAC register data  
between 0x7FF and 0x800.  
Zero-Scale Error  
Zero-scale error is the error in the DAC output voltage when all  
0s are loaded into the DAC register. Ideally, with all 0s loaded to  
the DAC and m = all 1s, c = 2n – 1  
DAC-to-DAC Crosstalk  
DAC-to-DAC crosstalk is the glitch impulse that appears at the  
output of one DAC due to both the digital change and the  
subsequent analog output change at another DAC. The victim  
channel is loaded with midscale. DAC-to-DAC crosstalk is  
specified in nV-s.  
VOUT(Zero-Scale) = 0 V  
Zero-scale error is a measure of the difference between VOUT  
(actual) and VOUT (ideal), expressed in mV. It is mainly due to  
offsets in the output amplifier.  
Digital Crosstalk  
The glitch impulse transferred to the output of one converter  
due to a change in the DAC register code of another converter is  
defined as the digital crosstalk and is specified in nV-s.  
Offset Error  
Offset error is a measure of the difference between VOUT  
(actual) and VOUT (ideal) in the linear region of the transfer  
function, expressed in mV. Offset error is measured on the  
AD5381-5 with Code 32 loaded into the DAC register, and on  
the AD5381-3 with Code 64.  
Digital Feedthrough  
When the device is not selected, high frequency logic activity  
on the device’s digital inputs can be capacitively coupled both  
across and through the device to show up as noise on the  
VOUT pins. It can also be coupled along the supply and ground  
lines. This noise is digital feedthrough.  
Gain Error  
Gain Error is specified in the linear region of the output range  
between VOUT = 10 mV and VOUT = AVDD – 50 mV. It is the  
deviation in slope of the DAC transfer characteristic from the  
ideal and is expressed in %FSR with the DAC output unloaded.  
Output Noise Spectral Density  
This is a measure of internally generated random noise.  
Random noise is characterized as a spectral density (voltage per  
√Hertz). It is measured by loading all DACs to midscale and  
measuring noise at the output. It is measured in nV/√Hz in a  
1 Hz bandwidth at 10 kHz.  
DC Crosstalk  
This is the dc change in the output level of one DAC at midscale  
in response to a full-scale code (all 0s to all 1s, and vice versa)  
and output change of all other DACs. It is expressed in LSB.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION  
The complete transfer function for these devices can be  
represented as  
VOUT = 2 × VREF × x2/2n  
DAC ARCHITECTURE—GENERAL  
The AD5381 is a complete, single-supply, 40-channel voltage  
output DAC that offers 12-bit resolution. The part is available  
in a 100-lead LQFP package and features both a parallel and  
a serial interface. This product includes an internal, software  
selectable, 1.25 V/2.5 V, 10 ppm/°C reference that can be used  
to drive the buffered reference inputs; alternatively, an external  
reference can be used to drive these inputs. Internal/external  
reference selection is via the CR8 bit in the control register;  
CR10 selects the reference magnitude if the internal reference  
is selected. All channels have an on-chip output amplifier with  
rail-to-rail output capable of driving 5 kΩ in parallel with a  
200 pF load.  
where:  
x2 is the data-word loaded to the resistor string DAC. VREF  
is externally applied to the DAC REFOUT/REFIN pin. For  
specified performance, an external reference voltage of 2.5 V is  
recommended for the AD5381-5, and 1.25 V for the AD5381-3.  
DATA DECODING  
The AD5381 contains a 12-bit data bus, DB11 to DB0. Depend-  
ing on the value of REG1 and REG0 (see Table 9), this data is  
loaded into the addressed DAC input registers, offset I registers,  
or gain (m) registers. The format data, offset I, and gain (m)  
register contents are shown in Table 10 to Table 12.

Figure 27. Single-Channel Architecture  
Table 10. DAC Data Format (REG1 = 1, REG0 = 1)  
The architecture of a single DAC channel consists of a 12-bit  
resistor-string DAC followed by an output buffer amplifier  
operating at a gain of 2. This resistor-string architecture  
guarantees DAC monotonicity. The 12-bit binary digital code  
loaded to the DAC register determines at what node on the  
string the voltage is tapped off before being fed to the output  
amplifier. Each channel on these devices contains independent  
offset and gain control registers that allow the user to digitally  
trim offset and gain. These registers give the user the ability to  
calibrate out errors in the complete signal chain, including the  
DAC, using the internal m and c registers, which hold the  
correction factors. All channels are double buffered, allow-

The AD5381 contains a number of special function registers  
(SFRs), as outlined in Table 13. SFRs are addressed with  
REG1 = REG0 = 0 and are decoded using Address Bits  
A5 to A0.  
Executing this instruction performs the CLR, which is func-  
tionally the same as that provided by the external  
pin. The  
CLR  
DAC outputs are loaded with the data in the CLR code register.

Executing this instruction performs a global power-down  
feature that puts all channels into a low power mode that  
reduces the analog supply current to 2 µA max and the digi-  
tal current to 20 µA max. In power-down mode, the output  
amplifier can be configured as a high impedance output or  
provide a 100 kΩ load to ground. The contents of all internal  
registers are retained in power-down mode. No register can be  
written to while in power-down.

will load the contents of the DAC registers with the data con-  
tained in the user configurable CLR register, and will set  
VOUT0 to VOUT39 accordingly. This can be very useful for  
setting up a specific output voltage in a clear condition. It is also  
beneficial for calibration purposes; the user can load full scale  
or zero scale to the clear code register and then issue a hard-  
ware or software clear to load this code to all DACs, removing  
the need for individual writes to each DAC. Default on power-  
up is all zeros.  
This instruction is used to implement a software reset. All  
internal registers are reset to their default values, which corre-  
spond to m at full scale and c at zero scale. The contents of the  
DAC registers are cleared, setting all analog outputs to 0 V. The  
soft reset activation time is 135 µs. Only perform a soft reset  
when the AD5381 is not in power-down mode.

DB11–DB6 = Contain data to address the monitored channel.  
A channel monitor function is provided on the AD5381. This  
feature, which consists of a multiplexer addressed via the inter-  
face, allows any channel output to be routed to the MON_OUT  
pin for monitoring using an external ADC. In channel monitor  
mode, VOUT39 becomes the MON_OUT pin, to which all  
monitored pins are routed. The channel monitor function must  
be enabled in the control register before any channels are routed  
to MON_OUT. On the AD5381, DB11 to DB6 contain the  
channel address for the monitored channel. Selecting Channel  
Address 63 three-states MON_OUT.  
CR8 = 1: Internal Reference Enabled. The reference output  
depends on data loaded to CR10.  
CR8 = 0: External Reference Selected (default on power-up).  
CR7: Channel Monitor Enable (see Channel Monitor Function  
section).  
CR7= 1: Monitor Enabled. This enables the channel monitor  
function. After a write to the monitor channel in the SFR  
register, the selected channel output is routed to the  
MON_OUT pin. VOUT39 operates at the MON_OUT pin.  
CR7 = 0: Monitor Disabled (default on power-up). When the  
monitor is disabled, the MON_OUT pin assumes its normal  
DAC output function.

FIFO OPERATION IN PARALLEL MODE  
The AD5381 contains a FIFO to optimize operation when  
operating in parallel interface mode. The FIFO Enable (level  
sensitive, active high) is used to enable the internal FIFO. When  
connected to DVDD, the internal FIFO is enabled, allowing the  
user to write to the device at full speed. FIFO is only available in  
parallel interface mode. The status of the FIFO EN pin is sam-

to c at zero scale. The contents of the DAC registers are cleared,  
setting VOUT0 to VOUT39 to 0 V. This sequence takes 270 µs.

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 DIN input on the next device in the  
chain, a multidevice interface is constructed. Twenty-four clock  
pulses are required for each device in the system. Therefore, the  
total number of clock cycles must equal 24N, where N is the  
total number of AD538x devices in the chain.

AD5381  
I2C SERIAL INTERFACE  
AD5381 Slave Addresses  
The AD5381 features an I2C-compatible 2-wire interface  
consisting of a serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line  
(SCL). SDA and SCL facilitate communication between the  
AD5381 and the master at rates up to 400 kHz. Figure 6 shows  
the 2-wire interface timing diagrams that incorporate three  
different modes of operation. In selecting the I2C operating  
A bus master initiates communication with a slave device by  
issuing a START condition followed by the 7-bit slave address.  
When idle, the AD5381 waits for a START condition followed  
by its slave address. The LSB of the address word is the Read/  
Write (R/ ) bit. The AD5381 is a receive only device; when

and then select I2C mode by configuring the

Logic 1. The device is connected to the I2C bus as a slave device  
(that is, no clock is generated by the AD5381). The AD5381 has  
a 7-bit slave address 1010 1(AD1)(AD0). The 5 MSB are hard-  
coded and the 2 LSB are determined by the state of the AD1  
and AD0 pins. The facility to hardware configure AD1 and AD0  
allows four of these devices to be configured on the bus.  
The AD5381 has four different user programmable addresses  
determined by the AD1 and AD0 bits.  
Write Operation  
There are three specific modes in which data can be written to  
the AD5381 DAC.  
I2C Data Transfer  
4-Byte Mode  
When writing to the AD5381 DACs, the user must begin  
One data bit is transferred during each SCL clock cycle. The  
data on SDA must remain stable during the high period of the  
SCL clock pulse. Changes in SDA while SCL is high are control  
signals that configure START and STOP conditions. Both SDA  
and SCL are pulled high by the external pull-up resistors when  
the I2C bus is not busy.  
with an address byte (R/ = 0) after which the DAC acknowl-  
W
edges that it is prepared to receive data by pulling SDA low.  
The address byte is followed by the pointer byte; this addresses  
the specific channel in the DAC to be addressed and is also  
acknowledged by the DAC. Two bytes of data are then written  
to the DAC, as shown in Figure 31. A STOP condition follows.  
This allows the user to update a single channel within the  
AD5381 at any time and requires four bytes of data to be  
transferred from the master.  
START and STOP Conditions  
A master device initiates communication by issuing a START  
condition. A START condition is a high-to-low transition on  
SDA with SCL high. A STOP condition is a low-to-high  
transition on SDA while SCL is high. A START condition  
from the master signals the beginning of a transmission to  
the AD5381. The STOP condition frees the bus. If a repeated  
START condition (Sr) is generated instead of a STOP condition,  
the bus remains active.  
3-Byte Mode  
In 3-byte mode, the user can update more than one channel in a  
write sequence without having to write the device address byte  
each time. The device address byte is only required once; sub-  
sequent channel updates require the pointer byte and the data  
bytes. In 3-byte mode, the user begins with an address byte  
Repeated START Conditions  
(R/ = 0), after which the DAC will acknowledge that it is pre-

pared to receive data by pulling SDA low. The address byte is  
followed by the pointer byte. This addresses the specific channel  
in the DAC to be addressed and is also acknowledged by the  
DAC. This is then followed by the two data bytes. REG1 and  
REG0 determine the register to be updated.  
Acknowledge Bit (ACK)  
The acknowledge bit (ACK) is the ninth bit attached to any  
8-bit data-word. ACK is always generated by the receiving  
device. The AD5381 devices generate an ACK when receiving  
an address or data by pulling SDA low during the ninth clock  
period. Monitoring ACK allows for detection of unsuccess-  
ful data transfers. An unsuccessful data transfer occurs if a  
receiving device is busy or if a system fault has occurred.  
In the event of an unsuccessful data transfer, the bus master  
should reattempt communication.  
If a STOP condition does not follow the data bytes, another  
channel can be updated by sending a new pointer byte followed  
by the data bytes. This mode only requires three bytes to be  
sent to update any channel once the device has been initially  
addressed, and reduces the software overhead in updating the  
AD5381 channels. A STOP condition at any time exits this mode.  
Figure 32 shows a typical configuration.

SPORT transmit alternate framing mode. The ADSP-BF527  
SPORT is programmed through the SPORT control register and  
configured as follows: internal clock operation, active low  
framing, and 16-bit word length. Transmission is initiated by  
writing a word to the Tx register after the SPORT has been

The AD5381 requires a clock synchronized to the serial data.  
The 8051 serial interface must therefore be operated in Mode 0.  
In this mode, serial data enters and exits through RxD, and a  
shift clock is output on TxD. Figure 37 shows how the 8051 is  
connected to the AD5381. Because the AD5381 shifts data out  
on the rising edge of the shift clock and latches data in on the  
falling edge, the shift clock must be inverted. The AD5381  
requires its data to be MSB first. Since the 8051 outputs the  
LSB first, the transmit routine must take this into account.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
Alternatively, a load switch such as the ADP196 can be used to  
delay the first power supply until the second power supply turns  
on. Figure 41 shows a typical configuration using the ADP196.  
In this case, the AVDD is applied first. This voltage does not  
appear at the AVDD pin of the AD5381 until the DVDD is  
applied and brings the EN pin high. The result is that the AVDD  
and DVDD are both applied to the AD5381 at the same time.  
POWER SUPPLY DECOUPLING  
In any circuit where accuracy is important, careful considera-  
tion of the power supply and ground return layout helps to  
ensure the rated performance. The printed circuit board on  
which the AD5381 is mounted should be designed so that the  
analog and digital sections are separated and confined to  
certain areas of the board. If the AD5381 is in a system where  
multiple devices require an AGND-to-DGND connection, the  
connection should be made at one point only, a star ground  
point established as close to the device as possible.

See Figure 39  
See Figure 40  
For supplies with multiple pins (AVDD, DVDD), these pins  
should be tied together. The AD5381 should have ample supply  
bypassing of 10 µF in parallel with 0.1 µF on each supply,  
located as close to the package as possible and 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), like 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 AD5381 should use as large a  
trace as possible to provide low impedance paths and 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. A ground line routed  
between the DIN and SCLK lines will help reduce crosstalk  
between them (this is not required on a multilayer board  
because there will be a separate ground plane, but separat-  
ing the lines will help). It is essential to minimize noise on  
the REFOUT/REFIN line.

Avoid crossover of digital and analog signals. Traces on  
opposite sides of the board should run at right angles to  
each other. This reduces the effects of feedthrough through  
the board. A micro-strip technique is by far the best, but is  
not always possible with a double-sided board. In this tech-  
nique, the component side of the board is dedicated to the  
ground plane while signal traces are placed on the solder side.

For proper operation of the AD5381, apply DVDD first and  
then AVDD either simultaneously or within 10 ms of DVDD.  
This sequence ensures that the power-on reset circuitry sets the  
registers to their default values and keeps the analog outputs at  
0 V until a valid write operation takes place. When AVDD  
cannot be applied within 10 ms of DVDD, issue a hardware  
reset. This triggers the power-on reset circuitry and loads the  
default register values. In cases where the initial power supply  
has the same or a lower voltage than the second power supply, a  
Schottky diode can be used to temporarily supply power until  
the second power supply turns on. Table 18 lists the power  
supply sequences and the recommended diode connection.

reference. On power-up, the AD5381 defaults to an external

Control Register Bit CR10 allows the user to choose the  
reference value; Bit CR8 is used to select the internal reference.  
It is recommended to use the 2.5 V reference when AVDD =

TYPICAL CONFIGURATION CIRCUIT  
Figure 43 shows a typical configuration for the AD5381-5  
when configured for use with an external reference. In the  
circuit shown, all AGND, SIGNAL_GND, and DAC_GND pins  
are tied together to a common AGND. AGND and DGND are  
connected together at the AD5381 device. On power-up, the  
AD5381 defaults to external reference operation. All AVDD  
lines are connected together and driven from the same 5 V  
source. It is recommended to decouple close to the device with a  
0.1 µF ceramic and a 10 µF tantalum capacitor. In this application,  
the reference for the AD5381-5 is provided externally from  
either an ADR421 or ADR431 2.5 V reference. Suitable external  
references for the AD5381-3 include the ADR3412 1.2 V  
reference. The reference should be decoupled at the

ensure the calibration data is loaded correctly into the device.

Note that B registers can only be loaded when toggle mode is  
enabled. The sequence of events when configuring the AD5381  
for toggle mode is  
1. Enable toggle mode for the required channels via the  
control register.  
MONITOR FUNCTION  
The AD5381 channel monitor function consists of a multiplexer  
addressed via the interface, allowing any channel output to be  
routed to this pin for monitoring using an external ADC. In  
channel monitor mode, VOUT39 becomes the MON_OUT pin,  
to which all monitored signals are routed. The channel monitor  
function must be enabled in the control register before any  
channels are routed to MON_OUT. Table 16 contains the  
decoding information required to route any channel to  
MON_OUT. Selecting Channel Address 63 three-states  
MON_OUT. Figure 45 shows a typical monitoring circuit  
implemented using a 12-bit SAR ADC in a 6-lead SOT-23  
package. The controller output port selects the channel to be  
monitored, and the input port reads the converted data from  
the ADC.

icant advantages if the user wants to generate a square wave at  
the output of all 40 channels, as might be required to drive a  
liquid crystal-based variable optical attenuator.  
In this case, the user writes to the control register and enables  
the toggle function by setting CR4 to CR2 = 0, thus enabling the  
five groups of eight for toggle mode operation. The user must

The AD5381 contains a temperature shutdown function to  
protect the chip if multiple outputs are shorted. The short-  
circuit current of each output amplifier is typically 40 mA.  
Operating the AD5381 at 5 V leads to a power dissipation of  
200 mW per shorted amplifier. With five channels shorted, this  
leads to an extra watt of power dissipation. For the 100-lead  
L QF P, t h e θJA is typically 44°C/W.  
Figure 45. Typical Channel Monitoring Circuit  
TOGGLE MODE FUNCTION  
The toggle mode function allows an output signal to be gener-  
ated using the  
control signal that switches between two  
LDAC  
DAC data registers. This function is configured using the SFR  
control register as follows. A write with REG1 = REG0 = 0 and  
A5 to A0 = 001100 specifies a control register write. The toggle  
mode function is enabled in groups of eight channels using Bit  
CR4 to Bit CR0 in the control register. See the AD5381 control  
register description. Figure 46 shows a block diagram of toggle  
mode implementation. Each of the 40 DAC channels on the  
AD5381 contain an A and B data register.  
The thermal monitor is enabled by the user via CR6 in the  
control register. The output amplifiers on the AD5381 are  
automatically powered down if the die temperature exceeds  
approximately 130°C. After a thermal shutdown has occurred,  
the user can re-enable the part by executing a soft power-up if  
the temperature has dropped below 130°C or by turning off the  
thermal monitor function via the control register.

OPTICAL ATTENUATORS  
UTILIZING FIFO  
Based on its high channel count, high resolution, monotonic  
behavior, and high level of integration, the AD5381 is ideally  
targeted at optical attenuation applications used in dynamic  
gain equalizers, variable optical attenuators (VOAs), and optical  
add-drop multiplexers (OADMs). In these applications, each  
wavelength is individually extracted using an arrayed wave  
guide; its power is monitored using a photodiode, transimped-  
ance amplifier and ADC in a closed-loop control system. The  
AD5381 controls the optical attenuator for each wavelength,  
ensuring that the power is equalized in all wavelengths before  
being multiplexed onto the fiber. This prevents information loss  
and saturation from occurring at amplification stages further  
along the fiber.  
The AD5381 FIFO mode optimizes total system update rates  
in applications where a large number of channels need to be  
updated. FIFO mode is only available when parallel interface  
mode is selected. The FIFO EN pin is used to enable the FIFO.  
The status of FIFO EN is sampled during the initialization  
sequence. Therefore, the FIFO status can only be changed by  
resetting the device.  
In a telescope that provides for the cancellation of atmospheric  
distortion, for example, a large number of channels need to be  
updated in a short period of time. In such systems, as many as  
400 channels need to be updated within 40 µs. Four hundred  
channels require the use of 10 AD5381s. With FIFO mode enabled,  
the data write cycle time is 40 ns; therefore, each group consisting  
of 40 channels can be fully loaded in 1.6 µs. In FIFO mode, a  
complete group of 40 channels will update in 14.4 µs. The time  
taken to update all 400 channels is 14.4 µs + 9 × 1.6 µs = 28.8 µs.
