AD5382
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
DAC ARCHITECTURE—GENERAL
The AD5382 is a complete, single-supply, 32-channel voltage
output DAC that offers 14-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 CR10 bit in the control register;
CR12 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.

is the
internal reference voltage or the reference voltage externally
applied to the DAC REFOUT/REFIN pin. For specified
performance, an external reference voltage of 2.5 V is
recommended for the AD5380-5, and 1.25 V for the AD5380-3.
DATA DECODING
The AD5382 contains a 14-bit data bus, DB13–DB0. Depending
on the value of REG1 and REG0 (see Table 11), this data is
loaded into the addressed DAC input registers, offset (c)
registers, or gain (m) registers. The format data, offset (c), and
gain (m) register contents are shown in Table 12 to Table 14.

Figure 27. Single-Channel Architecture
The architecture of a single DAC channel consists of a 14-bit
resistor-string DAC followed by an output buffer amplifier
operating at a gain of 2. This resistor-string architecture
guarantees DAC monotonicity. The 14-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, allowing
synchronous updating of all channels using the LDAC pin.
AD5382. The digital input transfer function for each DAC can
be represented as
x2
= [(m + 2)/ 2
n

+ (c – 2

)
where:
x2
is the data-word loaded to the resistor string DAC.
x1
is the 14-bit data-word written to the DAC input register.
m
is the gain coefficient (default is 0x3FFE on the AD5382).
The gain coefficient is written to the 13 most significant bits
(DB13 to DB1) and LSB (DB0) is a zero.
n
= DAC resolution (n = 14 for AD5382).
c
is the14-bit offset coefficient (default is 0x2000).
