GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5790
1
is a single 20-bit, unbuffered voltage-output DAC
that operates from a bipolar supply of up to 33 V. The AD5790
accepts a positive reference input in the range of 5 V to V
DD

2.5 V and a negative reference input in the range of V
SS
+ 2.5 V
to 0 V. T h e AD5790 offers a relative accuracy specification of
±2 LSB maximum range, and operation is guaranteed mono-
tonic with a −1 LSB to +3 LSB DNL specification.
The part uses a versatile 3-wire serial interface that operates at
clock rates of up to 35 MHz and is compatible with standard
SPI, QSPI™, MICROWIRE™, and DSP interface standards.
Reference buffers are also provided on chip. The part incorpo-
rates a power-on reset circuit that ensures the DAC output
powers up to 0 V in a known output impedance state and
remains in this state until a valid write to the device takes place.
The part provides a disable feature that places the output in a
defined load state. The part provides an output clamp feature
that places the output in a defined load state.
