Pin No. Mnemonic Description
1
LDAC
Load DAC. Logic input. This is used to update the DAC register and, consequently, the analog outputs.
When tied permanently low, the addressed DAC register is updated on the falling edge of the 32
nd
clock. If
LDAC
is held high during the write cycle, the addressed DAC input shift register is updated but
the output is held off until the falling edge of
LDAC
. In this mode, all analog outputs can be updated
simultaneously on the falling edge of
LDAC
.
2
SYNC
Active Low Control Input. This is the frame synchronization signal for the input data. When
SYNC
goes
low, it powers on the SCLK and DIN buffers and enables the shift register. Data is transferred in on the
falling edges of the next 32 clocks. If
SYNC
is taken high before the 32
nd
falling edge, the rising edge of
SYNC
acts as an interrupt, and the write sequence is ignored by the device.
3 V
DD
Power Supply Input. The AD5066 can be operated from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. Decouple the supply with a 10 µF
capacitor in parallel with a 0.1 µF capacitor to GND.
4 V
REF
B External Reference Voltage Input for DAC B.
5 V
REF
A External Reference Voltage Input for DAC A.
6 V
OUT
A Unbuffered Analog Output Voltage from DAC A.
7 V
OUT
C Unbuffered Analog Output Voltage from DAC C.
8 POR Power-On Reset Pin. Tying this pin to GND powers the DAC outputs to zero scale on power-up. Tying
this pin to V
DD
powers the DAC outputs to midscale.
9 V
REF
C External Reference Voltage Input for DAC C.
10
CLR
Asynchronous Clear Input. The
CLR
input is falling edge sensitive. When
CLR
is low, all
LDAC
pulses are
ignored. When
CLR
is activated, the input register and the DAC register are updated with the data
contained in the
CLR
code register—zero, midscale, or full scale. Default setting clears the output to 0 V.
11 V
REF
D External Reference Voltage Input for DAC D.
12 V
OUT
D Unbuffered Analog Output Voltage from DAC D.
13 V
OUT
B Unbuffered Analog Output Voltage from DAC B.
14 GND Ground Reference Point for All Circuitry on the Part.
15 DIN Serial Data Input. This device has a 32-bit shift register. Data is clocked into the register on the falling
edge of the serial clock input.
16 SCLK Serial Clock Input. Data is clocked into the input shift register on the falling edge of the serial clock input.
Data can be transferred at rates of up to 50 MHz.
