Dual 8-/10-/12-Bit, High Bandwidth, Multiplying DACs with Serial Interface AD5429/AD5439/AD5449 FEATURES GENERAL DESCRIPTION 1 10 MHz multiplying bandwidth The AD5429/AD5439/AD5449 are CMOS, 8-, 10-, and 12-bit, INL of ±0.25 LSB @ 8 bits dual-channel, current output digital-to-analog converters (DAC), 16-lead TSSOP package respectively. These devices operate from a 2.5 V to 5.5 V power 2.5 V to 5.5 V supply operation supply, making them suited to battery-powered and other ±10 V reference input applications. 50 MHz serial interface As a result of being manufactured on a CMOS submicron process, 2.47 MSPS update rate these parts offer excellent 4-quadrant multiplication character- Extended temperature range: −40°C to +125°C 4-quadrant multiplication istics, with large signal multiplying bandwidths of 10 MHz. Power-on reset The applied external reference input voltage (V ) determines REF 0.5 μA typical current consumption the full-scale output current. An integrated feedback resistor Guaranteed monotonic (RFB) provides temperature tracking and full-scale voltage Daisy-chain mode output when combined with an external current-to-voltage Readback function precision amplifier. APPLICATIONS These DACs use a double-buffered, 3-wire serial interface that Portable battery-powered applications is compatible with SPI, QSPI™, MICROWIRE™, and most DSP Waveform generators interface standards. In addition, a serial data out (SDO) pin allows Analog processing daisy-chaining when multiple packages are used. Data readback Instrumentation applications allows the user to read the contents of the DAC register via the Programmable amplifiers and attenuators SDO pin. On power-up, the internal shift register and latches Digitally controlled calibration are filled with 0s, and the DAC outputs are at zero scale. Programmable filters and oscillators Composite video The AD5429/AD5439/AD5449 DACs are available in 16-lead Ultrasound TSSOP packages. The EVAL-AD5415/AD5449SDZ evaluation Gain, offset, and voltage trimming board is available for evaluating DAC performance. For more information, see the UG-297 evaluation board user guide.

Pin Configuration Table 4. Pin Function Descriptions Pin No. Mnemonic Description 1 IOUT1A DAC A Current Output. 2 IOUT2A DAC A Analog Ground. This pin should typically be tied to the analog ground of the system, but it can be biased to achieve single-supply operation. 3 R A DAC Feedback Resistor Pin. This pin establishes voltage output for the DAC by connecting to an external FB amplifier output. 4 VREFA DAC A Reference Voltage Input Pin. 5 GND Ground Pin. 6 LDAC Load DAC Input. This pin allows asynchronous or synchronous updates to the DAC output. The DAC is asynchronously updated when this signal goes low. Alternatively, if this line is held permanently low, an automatic or synchronous update mode is selected, whereby the DAC is updated on the 16th clock falling edge when the device is in standalone mode, or on the rising edge of SYNC when in daisy-chain mode. 7 SCLK 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. 8 SDIN Serial Data Input. Data is clocked into the 16-bit input register on the active edge of the serial clock input. By default, data is clocked at power-on into the shift register on the falling edge of SCLK. The control bits allow the user to change the active edge to a rising edge. 9 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 clocked out via SDO on the rising edge of SCLK. Data is always clocked out on the alternate edge to loading data to the shift register. Writing the readback control word to the shift register makes the DAC register contents available for readback on the SDO pin, and they are clocked out on the next 16 opposite clock edges to the active clock edge. 10 SYNC Active Low Control Input. This pin provides the frame synchronization signal for the input data. When SYNC goes low, it powers on the SCLK and DIN buffers, and the input shift register is enabled. Data is loaded into the shift register on the active edge of the subsequent clocks. In standalone mode, the serial interface counts the clocks, and data is latched into the shift register on the 16th active clock edge. 11 CLR Active Low Control Input. This pin clears the DAC output, input, and DAC registers. Configuration mode allows the user to enable the hardware CLR pin as a clear-to-zero scale or midscale, as required. 12 VDD Positive Power Supply Input. These parts can be operated from a supply of 2.5 V to 5.5 V. 13 VREFB DAC B Reference Voltage Input Pin. 14 R B DAC B Feedback Resistor Pin. This pin establishes voltage output for the DAC by connecting to an external FB amplifier output. 15 I 2B OUT DAC B Analog Ground. This pin typically should be tied to the analog ground of the system, but it can be biased to achieve single-supply operation. 16 IOUT1B DAC B Current Output. Rev.
