AD5063 to 68HC11/68L11 Interface
Figure 32 shows a serial interface between the AD5063 and the
68HC11/68L11 microcontroller. SCK of the 68HC11/68L11
drives the SCLK pin of the AD5063, and the MOSI output
drives the serial data line of the DAC. The
SYNC
signal is
derived from a port line (PC7). The setup conditions for correct
operation of this interface require that the 68HC11/68L11 be
configured so that its CPOL bit is 0 and its CPHA bit is 1. When
data is being transmitted to the DAC, the
SYNC
line is taken
low (PC7). When the 68HC11/68L11 are configured with their
CPOL bit set to 0 and their CPHA bit set to 1, data appearing
on the MOSI output is valid on the falling edge of SCK. Serial
data from the 68HC11/68L11 is transmitted in 8-bit bytes with
only eight falling clock edges occurring in the transmit cycle.
Data is transmitted MSB first. To load data to the AD5063, PC7
is left low after the first eight bits are transferred, and then a
second serial write operation is performed to the DAC, with
PC7 taken high at the end of this procedure.

AD5063 to Blackfin® ADSP-BF53x Interface
Figure 33 shows a serial interface between the AD5063 and
the Blackfin® ADSP-BF53x microprocessor. The ADSP-BF53x
processor family incorporates two dual-channel synchronous
serial ports, SPORT1 and SPORT0, for serial and multiprocessor
communications. Using SPORT0 to connect to the AD5063, the
setup for the interface is as follows: DT0PRI drives the DIN pin
of the AD5063, TSCLK0 drives the SCLK of the part, and TFS0
drives
SYNC
.

AD5063 to 80C51/80L51 Interface
Figure 34 shows a serial interface between the AD5063 and the
80C51/80L51 microcontroller. The setup for the interface is as
follows: TxD of the 80C51/80L51 drives SCLK of the AD5063,
and RxD drives the serial data line of the part. The
SYNC
signal
is again derived from a bit-programmable pin on the port. In
this case, Port Line P3.3 is used. When data is to be transmitted
to the AD5063, P3.3 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 to the DAC, P3.3 is left
low after the first eight bits are transmitted, and a second write
cycle is initiated to transmit the second byte of data. P3.3 is taken
high following the completion of this cycle. The 80C51/80L51
output the serial data in a format that has the LSB first. The
AD5063 requires its data with the MSB as the first bit received.
The 80C51/80L51 transmit routine should take this into
account.

CHOOSING A REFERENCE FOR THE AD5063
To achieve optimum performance of the AD5063, thought
should be given to the choice of a precision voltage reference.
The AD5063 has one reference input, V
REF
. The voltage on the
reference input is used to supply the positive input to the DAC;
therefore, any error in the reference is reflected in the DAC.

There are four possible sources of error when choosing a voltage
reference for high accuracy applications: initial accuracy, ppm
drift, long-term drift, and output voltage noise. Initial accuracy
on the output voltage of the DAC leads to a full-scale error in the
DAC. To minimize these errors, a reference with high initial
accuracy is preferred. Also, choosing a reference with an output
trim adjustment, such as the ADR423, allows a system designer to
trim out system errors by setting a reference voltage to a voltage
other than the nominal. The trim adjustment can also be used at
any point within the operating temperature range to trim out error.

BIPOLAR OPERATION USING THE AD5063
The AD5063 has been designed for single-supply operation, but
a bipolar output range is also possible by using the circuit shown
in Figure 37. This circuit yields an output voltage range of ±4.096 V.
Rail-to-rail operation at the amplifier output is achievable using
AD8675/AD8031/AD8032 or an OP196.
The output voltage for any input code can be calculated as
Because the supply current required by the AD5063 is extremely
low, the parts are ideal for low supply applications. The ADR395
voltage reference is recommended; it requires less than 100 μA of
quiescent current and can, therefore, drive multiple DACs in one
system, if required. It also provides very good noise performance
at 8 μV p-p in the 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz range.

Figure 36. ADR395 as a Reference to AD5063
Long-term drift is a measure of how much the reference drifts
over time. A reference with a tight long-term drift specification
ensures that the overall solution remains relatively stable during
its entire lifetime. The temperature coefficient of a references
output voltage affects INL, DNL, and TUE. A reference with a
tight temperature coefficient specification should be chosen to
reduce the temperature dependence of the DAC output voltage
on ambient conditions.
Figure 37. Bipolar Operation
In high accuracy applications, which have a relatively low
tolerance for noise, reference output voltage noise needs to be
considered. It is important to choose a reference with as low an
output noise voltage as practical for the system noise resolution
required. Precision voltage references, such as the ADR435,
produce low output noise in the 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz region. Exam-
ples of some recommended precision references for use as the
supply to the AD5063 are shown in Table 7.

USING THE AD5063 WITH A GALVANICALLY
ISOLATED INTERFACE CHIP
In process-control applications in industrial environments, it is
often necessary to use a galvanically isolated interface to protect
and isolate the controlling circuitry from hazardous common-
mode voltages that may occur in the area where the DAC is
functioning. iCoupler® provides isolation in excess of 2.5 kV.
Because the AD5063 uses a 3-wire serial logic interface, the
ADuM130x family provides an ideal digital solution for the
DAC interface.
The ADuM130x isolators provide three independent isolation
channels in a variety of channel configurations and data rates.
They operate across the full range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V, providing
compatibility with lower voltage systems as well as enabling a
voltage translation functionality across the isolation barrier.
Figure 38 shows a typical galvanically isolated configuration
using the AD5063. The power supply to the part also needs to
be isolated; this is accomplished by using a transformer. On the
DAC side of the transformer, a 5 V regulator provides the 5 V
supply required for the AD5063.

POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING AND GROUNDING
When accuracy is important in a circuit, it is helpful to consider
carefully the power supply and ground return layout on the
board. The printed circuit board containing the AD5063 should
have separate analog and digital sections, each on its own area
of the board. If the AD5063 is in a system where other devices
require an AGND-to-DGND connection, the connection
should be made at one point only. This ground point should be
as close as possible to the AD5063.
The power supply to the AD5063 should be bypassed with
10 μF and 0.1 μF capacitors. The capacitors should physically be
as close as possible to the device, with the 0.1 μF capacitor
ideally right up against the device. The 10 μF capacitors are the
tantalum bead type. It is important that the 0.1 μF capacitor has
low effective series resistance (ESR) and low effective series
inductance (ESI), as do common ceramic types of capacitors.
This 0.1 μF capacitor provides a low impedance path to ground
for high frequencies caused by transient currents from internal
logic switching.
The power supply line itself should have as large a trace as
possible to provide a low impedance path and to reduce glitch
effects on the supply line. Clocks and other fast switching
digital signals should be shielded from other parts of the board
by a digital ground. Avoid crossover of digital and analog
signals, if possible. When traces cross on opposite sides of the
board, ensure that they run at right angles to each other to
reduce feedthrough effects on the board. The best board layout
technique is the microstrip technique where the component
side of the board is dedicated to the ground plane only, and the
signal traces are placed on the solder side. However, this is not
always possible with a 2-layer board.
