Multiplying DACs with Serial Interface
Data Sheet
AD5444/AD5446
FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
12 MHz multiplying bandwidth
INL of 0.5 LSB at 12 bits
Pin-compatible 12-/14-bit current output DAC
2.5 V to 5.5 V supply operation
10-lead MSOP package
10 V reference input
50 MHz serial interface
2.7 MSPS update rate
The AD5444/AD54461 are CMOS 12-bit and 14-bit, current
output, digital-to-analog converters (DACs). Operating from a
single 2.5 V to 5.5 V power supply, these devices are suited for
battery-powered and other applications.
As a result of the CMOS submicron manufacturing process,
these parts offer excellent 4-quadrant multiplication char-
acteristics of up to 12 MHz.
These DACs use a double-buffered, 3-wire serial interface that
is compatible with SPI®, QSPI™, MICROWIRE™, and most DSP
interface standards. On power-up, the internal shift register and
latches are filled with 0s, and the DAC output is at zero scale.
Extended temperature range: −40°C to +125°C
4-quadrant multiplication
Power-on reset with brownout detection
0.4 µA typical current consumption
Guaranteed monotonic
The applied external reference input voltage (VREF) determines
the full-scale output current. These parts can handle 10 V
inputs on the reference, despite operating from a single-supply
power supply of 2.5 V to 5.5 V. An integrated feedback resistor
(RFB) provides temperature tracking and full-scale voltage output
when combined with an external current-to-voltage precision
amplifier. The AD5444/AD5446 DACs are available in small
10-lead MSOP packages, which are pin-compatible with the
AD5425/AD5426/AD5432/AD5443 family of DACs.
APPLICATIONS

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
TA = 25°C, unless otherwise noted. Transient currents of up to
100 mA do not cause SCR latch-up.
Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any
other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.

DAC Analog Ground. This pin should normally be tied to the analog ground of the system.
Ground Pin.
Serial Clock Input. By default, data is clocked into the input shift register on the falling edge of the serial clock
input. Alternatively, by means of the serial control bits, the device can be configured such that data is clocked
into the shift register on the rising edge of SCLK.

SDIN
SYNC
Serial Data Input. Data is clocked into the 16-bit input register on the active edge of the serial clock input.
By default on power-up, data is clocked into the shift register on the falling edge of SCLK. The control bits allow
the user to change the active edge to the rising edge.
Active Low Control Input. This is the frame synchronization signal for the input data. When SYNC is taken low,
data is loaded to the shift register on the active edge of the following clocks. The output updates on the rising
edge of SYNC.
7
SDO
Serial Data Output. This pin allows a number of parts to be daisy-chained. By default, data is clocked into the shift
register on the falling edge and out via SDO on the rising edge of SCLK. Data is always clocked out on the
alternate edge to data loaded to the shift register.

TERMINOLOGY
Relative Accuracy or Integral Nonlinearity
Digital Feedthrough
Relative accuracy or integral nonlinearity 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 and full scale and is normally expressed
in LSBs or as a percentage of full-scale reading.
When the device is not selected, high frequency logic activ-
ity on the device’s digital inputs can be capacitively coupled
through the device to show up as noise on the IOUT1 and IOUT
pins and, subsequently, into the following circuitry. This noise is
digital feedthrough.
2
Differential Nonlinearity
Multiplying Feedthrough Error
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
over the operating temperature range ensures monotonicity.
Multiplying feedthrough error is due to capacitive feedthrough
from the DAC reference input to the DAC IOUT1 line, when all
0s are loaded to the DAC.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
Gain Error
The DAC is driven by an ac reference. The ratio of the rms sum
of the harmonics of the DAC output to the fundamental value is
the THD. Usually only the lower-order harmonics, such as second
to fifth, are included.
Gain error or full-scale error is a measure of the output error
between an ideal DAC and the actual device output. For this
DAC, ideal maximum output is VREF − 1 LSB. Gain error of the
DAC is adjustable to zero with external resistance.

The usable dynamic range of a DAC before spurious noise
interferes or distorts the fundamental signal. SFDR is the
measure of difference in amplitude between the fundamental

from dc to full Nyquist bandwidth (half the DAC sampling
rate or fS/2). Narrow-band SFDR is a measure of SFDR over
an arbitrary window size, in this case 50% of the fundamental.

The amount of charge injected from the digital inputs to the

measured as a current or voltage signal.

Unipolar Mode
DAC SECTION
The AD5444/AD5446 are 12-bit and 14-bit current output
DACs consisting of segmented (4 bits), inverting R– 2R ladder
configurations. A simplified diagram for the 12-bit AD5444
is shown in Figure 37.
Using a single op amp, the AD5444/AD5446 can easily be
configured to provide 2-quadrant multiplying operation or
a unipolar output voltage swing, as shown in Figure 38.

the DAC:
Figure 37. Simplified Ladder
D = 0 to 4095 (12-bit AD5444)
D = 0 to 16383 (14-bit AD5446)
The feedback resistor (RFB) has a value of R. The value of R is
typically 9 kΩ (7 kΩ minimum, 11 kΩ maximum). If IOUT1 is
kept at the same potential as GND, a constant current flows in
each ladder leg, regardless of digital input code. Therefore, the
input resistance presented at VREF is always constant and nomi-
nally of value R. The DAC output (IOUT1) is code-dependent,
producing various resistances and capacitances. The external
amplifier choice should take into account the variation in
impedance generated by the DAC on the amplifiers inverting
input node.
n is the number of bits.
Note that the output voltage polarity is opposite to the VREF
polarity for dc reference voltages.
This DAC is designed to operate with either negative or positive
reference voltages. The VDD power pin is used by the internal
digital logic only to drive the on and off states of the DAC
switches. The DAC is also designed to accommodate ac refer-
ence input signals in the range of −10 V to +10 V. With a fixed
+10 V reference, the circuit shown in Figure 38 provides a
unipolar 0 V to −10 V output voltage swing. When VIN is an
ac signal, the circuit performs 2-quadrant multiplication.
Access is provided to the VREF, RFB, and both IOUT terminals of
the DAC, making the device extremely versatile and allowing it
to be configured in several different operating modes. For
example, the device provides unipolar output mode, 4-quadrant
multiplication in bipolar mode, and single-supply mode of
operation. Note that a matching switch is used in series with the
internal RFB. Power must be applied to VDD to achieve continuity
when measuring RFB.
Table 5 shows the relationship between digital code and
expected output voltage for unipolar operation.

Bipolar Operation
Table 6 shows the relationship between digital code and the
expected output voltage for bipolar operation.
In some applications, it may be necessary to generate a full
4-quadrant multiplying operation, or a bipolar output swing.
This can easily be accomplished by using another external
amplifier and some external resistors, as shown in Figure 39.
In this circuit, the second amplifier (A2) provides a gain of 2.
Biasing the external amplifier with an offset from the reference
voltage results in a full 4-quadrant multiplying operation. The
transfer function of this circuit shows that both negative and
positive output voltages are created as the input data (D) is
incremented from code zero (VOUT = −VREF) to midscale

Stability
In the current-to-voltage (I-to-V) configuration, the IOUT1of the
DAC and the inverting node of the op amp must be connected
as closely as possible, and proper PCB layout techniques must
be employed. Because every code change corresponds to a step
function, gain peaking can occur if the op amp has limited GBP
and excessive parasitic capacitance exists at the inverting node.
This parasitic capacitance introduces a pole into the open-loop
response that can cause ringing or instability in the closed-loop
applications circuit.

An optional compensation capacitor (C1) can be added in
parallel with RFB for stability, as shown in Figure 38 and
Figure 39. Too small a value for C1 can produce ringing at
the output, while too large a value can adversely affect the
settling time. C1 should be found empirically, but 1 pF to

Figure 40 shows the AD5444/AD5446 DACs operating in the
voltage switching mode. The reference voltage (VIN) is applied
to the IOUT1 pin, IOUT2 is connected to AGND, and the output
voltage is available at the VREF terminal. In this configuration,
a positive reference voltage results in a positive output voltage,
making single-supply operation possible. The output from
the DAC is voltage at a constant impedance (the DAC ladder
resistance). Therefore, an op amp is necessary to buffer the
output voltage. The reference input no longer sees a constant
input impedance but rather one that varies with code, so the
voltage input should be driven from a low impedance source.

ADDING GAIN
In applications in which the output voltage is required to be
greater than VIN, gain can be added with an additional external
amplifier, or it can be achieved in a single stage. It is important
to take into consideration the effect of the temperature coeffi-
cients of the DAC’s thin film resistors. Simply placing a resistor
in series with the RFB resistor can cause mismatches in the
temperature coefficients and result in larger gain temperature
coefficient errors. Instead, increase the gain of the circuit by
using the recommended configuration shown in Figure 42.
R1, R2, and R3 should all have similar temperature coefficients,
but they need not match the temperature coefficients of the
DAC. This approach is recommended in circuits where gains
of greater than 1 are required.

It is important to note that, with this configuration, VIN is lim-
ited to low voltages, because the switches in the DAC ladder do
not have the same source-drain drive voltage. As a result, their
on resistance differs, which degrades the integral linearity of the
DAC. In addition, VIN must not go negative by more than 0.3 V,
or an internal diode turns on, exceeding the maximum ratings
of the device. In this type of application, the full range of the
multiplying capability of the DAC is lost.

The output voltage polarity is opposite to the VREF polarity for

applied negative reference to the input of the DAC is preferred
over the output inversion through an inverting amplifier because
of the resistor’s tolerance errors. To generate a negative reference,
the reference can be level-shifted by an op amp such that the

Current-steering DACs are very flexible and lend themselves to
many different applications. If this type of DAC is connected as
the feedback element of an op amp and RFB is used as the input
resistor, as shown in Figure 43, then the output voltage is
inversely proportional to the digital input fraction, D.
VOUT and GND pins of the reference become the virtual ground
and −2.5 V, respectively, as shown in Figure 41.

Common-mode rejection of the op amp is important in voltage
switching circuits because it produces a code-dependent error

resolutions.

NOTES:

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, it is impor-
tant to minimize capacitance at the VREF node (voltage output
node in this application) of the DAC. This is done by using low
input, capacitance buffer amplifiers and careful board design.
Figure 43. Current-Steering DAC Used as a Divider
or Programmable Gain Element
As D is reduced, the output voltage increases. For small values
of the digital fraction (D), it is important to ensure that the
amplifier does not saturate and the required accuracy is met.
For example, an 8-bit DAC driven with the binary code 0x10
(0001 0000), that is, 16 decimal, in the circuit of Figure 43,
should cause the output voltage to be 16 × VIN. However, if the
DAC has a linearity specification of 0.5 LSB, then D can, in
fact, have a weight in the range of 15.5/256 to 16.5/256, so the
possible output voltage is in the range 15.5 VIN to 16.5 VIN. This
is an error of 3%, even though the DAC itself has a maximum
error of 0.2%.
Most single-supply circuits include ground as part of the analog
signal range, which, in turn, requires an amplifier that can handle
rail-to-rail signals. A large range of single-supply amplifiers is
available from Analog Devices, Inc. (see Table 8 and Table 9 for
suitable suggestions).
REFERENCE SELECTION
DAC leakage current is also a potential error source in divider
circuits. The leakage current must be counterbalanced by an
opposite current supplied from the op amp through the DAC.
Because only a fraction (D) of the current into the VREF terminal
is routed to the IOUT1 terminal, the output voltage has to change,
as follows:
When selecting a reference for use with the AD5444/AD5446
current output DAC, pay attention to the output voltage tem-
perature coefficient specification. This parameter affects not
only the full-scale error but can also affect the linearity (INL
and DNL) performance. The reference temperature coefficient
should be consistent with the system accuracy specifications.
For example, an 8-bit system required to hold its overall speci-
fication to within 1 LSB over the temperature range 0°C to 50°C
dictates that the maximum system drift with temperature
should be less than 78 ppm/°C.
Output Error Voltage due to DAC Leakage = (Leakage × R)/D
where R is the DAC resistance at the VREF terminal.
For a DAC leakage current of 10 nA, R equal to 10 kΩ, and a gain
(1/D) of 16, the error voltage is 1.6 mV.
A 12-bit system with the same temperature range to overall
specification within 2 LSBs requires a maximum drift of
10 ppm/°C. By choosing a precision reference with low output
temperature coefficient, this error source can be minimized.
Table 7 suggests some of the dc references available from
Analog Devices 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. The input offset voltage of an op amp is multiplied by
the variable gain (due to the code-dependent output resistance
of the DAC) 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.

AD5444/AD5446
Data Sheet
SERIAL INTERFACE
The AD5444/AD5446 have an easy-to-use, 3-wire interface that
is compatible with SPI, QSPI, MICROWIRE, and DSP inter-
face standards. Data is written to the device in 16-bit words.
This 16-bit word consists of two control bits, 12 data bits or
14 data bits, as shown in Figure 44 and Figure 45. The AD5446
uses all 14 bits of DAC data while AD5444 uses 12 bits and
ignores the 2 LSBs.

After the falling edge of the 16th SCLK pulse, bring
to transfer data from the input shift register to the DAC register.
Daisy-Chain Mode
Daisy-chain mode is the default power-on mode. To disable
the daisy-chain function, write 01 to the control word. In daisy-
chain mode, the internal gating on the SCLK is disabled. The
SCLK is continuously applied to the input shift register when
Control Bit C1 and Control Bit C0 allow the user to load and
update the new DAC code and to change the active clock edge.
By default, the shift register clocks data on the falling edge, but
this can be changed via the control bits. If changed, the DAC
core is inoperative until the next data frame. A power cycle
resets this back to the default condition. On-chip, power-on
reset circuitry ensures the device powers on with zero scale
loaded to the DAC register and the IOUT line.
SYNC
is low. If more than 16 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 the SCLK (this
is the default; use the control word to change the active edge)
and is valid for the next device on the falling edge (default).
By connecting this line to the SDIN input on the next device in
the chain, a multidevice interface is constructed. Sixteen clock
pulses are required for each device in the system. Therefore, the
total number of clock cycles must equal 16 N, where N is the
number of devices in the chain.

Description
Microprocessor interfacing to the AD5444/AD5446 DAC is
through a serial bus that uses standard protocol compatible
with microcontrollers and DSP processors. The communica-
tions channel is a 3-wire interface consisting of a clock signal, a
data signal, and a synchronization signal. The AD5444/AD5446
requires a 16-bit word, with the default being data valid on the
falling edge of SCLK, but this can be changed using the control

switch, P1.1 is taken low. The 80C51/80L51 transmits data only
in 8-bit bytes; therefore, only eight falling clock edges occur in
the transmit cycle. To load data correctly to the DAC, P1.1 is
left low after the first eight bits are transmitted, and a second
write cycle is initiated to transmit the second byte of data.

If the user wants to verify the data previously written to the
input shift register, the SDO line can be connected to MISO of
SYNC
the MC68HC11, and, with
low, the shift register clocks
data out on the rising edges of SCLK.
Data on RxD is clocked out of the microcontroller on the rising
edge of TxD and is valid on the falling edge. As a result, no glue
logic is required between the DAC and microcontroller inter-
face. P1.1 is taken high following the completion of this cycle.
The 80C51/80L51 provides the LSB of its SBUF register as the
first bit in the data stream. The DAC input register requires its
data with the MSB as the first bit received. The transmit routine
should take this into account.

Figure 52 shows an interface between the DAC and any
MICROWIRE-compatible device. Serial data is shifted out
on the falling edge of the serial clock, SK, and is clocked into
the DAC input shift register on the rising edge of SK, which
corresponds to the falling edge of the DAC SCLK.

PIC16C6x/7x to AD5444/AD5446 Interface
MC68HC11 Interface to AD5444/AD5446 Interface
The PIC16C6x/7x synchronous serial port (SSP) is configured
as an SPI master with the clock polarity bit (CKP) = 0. This is
done by writing to the synchronous serial port control register
(SSPCON); see the PIC16/17 Microcontroller User Manual.
Figure 51 is an example of a serial interface between the DAC
and the MC68HC11 microcontroller. The serial peripheral
interface (SPI) on the MC68HC11 is configured for master
mode (MSTR) = 1, clock polarity bit (CPOL) = 0, and the clock
phase bit (CPHA) = 1. The SPI is configured by writing to the
SPI control register (SPCR); see the 68HC11 User Manual. SCK
of the 68HC11 drives the SCLK of the DAC interface, the MOSI
output drives the serial data line (SDIN) of the AD5444/AD5446.
SYNC
In this example, I/O port RA1 is used to provide a
signal and enable the serial port of the DAC. This micro-
controller transfers only eight bits of data during each serial
transfer operation; therefore, two consecutive write operations
are required. Figure 53 shows the connection diagram.

on the falling edge of SCK. Serial data from the 68HC11 is
transmitted in 8-bit bytes with only eight falling clock edges

To load data to the DAC, PC7 is left low after the first eight bits
are transferred, and a second serial write operation is performed
to the DAC. PC7 is taken high at the end of this procedure.

PCB LAYOUT AND 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 boards on
which the AD5444/AD5446 are mounted should be designed
so the analog and digital sections are separated and confined to
certain areas of the board. If the DACs are in systems in which
multiple devices require a AGND-to-DGND connection, the
connection should be made at one point only. The star ground
point should be established as close as possible to the devices.
A microstrip technique, by far the best, is not always possible
with a double-sided board. In this technique, the component
side of the board is dedicated to the ground plane, while signal
traces are placed on the solder side.
It is good practice to employ compact, minimum lead-length
PCB layout design. Leads to the input should be as short as
possible to minimize IR drops and stray inductance.
The PCB metal traces between VREF and RFB should also be
matched to minimize gain error. To maximize high frequency
performance, the I-to-V amplifier should be located as close
to the device as possible.
The DAC should have ample supply bypassing of 10 µF in
parallel with 0.1 µF on the supply located as close to the pack-
age as possible, ideally right up against the device. 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. Low ESR, 1 µF to 10 µF tantalum or electrolytic
capacitors should also be applied at the supplies to minimize
transient disturbance and filter out low frequency ripple.
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.
Avoid crossover of digital and analog signals. Traces on oppo-
site sides of the board should run at right angles to each other.
This reduces the effects of feedthrough throughout the board.
