POWER-ON RESET
The AD5623R/AD5643R/AD5663R contain a power-on reset
circuit that controls the output voltage during power-up. The
AD5623R/AD5643R/AD5663R DACs output power up to 0 V,
and the output remains there until a valid write sequence is
made to the DACs. This is useful in applications where it is
important to know the state of the output of the DACs while
they are in the process of powering up. Any events on
LDAC
or
CLR
during power-on reset are ignored.
SOFTWARE RESET
The AD5623R/AD5643R/AD5663R contain a software reset
function. Command 101 is reserved for the software reset
function (see Table 8). The software reset command contains
two reset modes that are software-programmable by setting bit
DB0 in the control register. Table 10 shows how the state of the
bit corresponds to the mode of operation of the device. Table 12
shows the contents of the input shift register during the
software reset mode of operation.

POWER-DOWN MODES
The AD5623R/AD5643R/AD5663R contain four separate
modes of operation. Command 100 is reserved for the power-
down function (see Table 8). These modes are software-
programmable by setting Bit DB5 and Bit DB4 in the control
register. Table 11 shows how the state of the bits corresponds to
the mode of operation of the device. Any or all DACs (DAC B
and DAC A) can be powered down to the selected mode by
setting the corresponding two bits (Bit DB1 and Bit DB0) to 1.
By executing the same Command 100, any combination of DACs
can be powered up by setting Bit DB5 and Bit DB4 to normal
operation mode.
Again, to select which combination of DAC channels to power
up, set the corresponding bits (Bit DB1 and Bit DB0) to 1. See
Table 13 for contents of the input shift register during power-
down/power-up operation.
The DAC output powers up to the value in the input register
while
LDAC
is low. If
LDAC
is high, the DAC ouput powers up
to the value held in the DAC register before power-down.

0 1 1 kΩ to GND
1 0 100 kΩ to GND
1 1 Three-state
When both Bit DB1 and Bit DB2 are set to 0, the part works
normally, with its normal power consumption of 250 µA at 5 V.
However, for the three power-down modes, the supply current
falls to 480 nA at 5 V (200 nA at 3 V). Not only does the supply
current fall, but the output stage is also internally switched from
the output of the amplifier to a resistor network of known values.
This has the advantage that the output impedance of the part is
known while the part is in power-down mode. The outputs can
either be connected internally to GND through a 1 kΩ or 100 kΩ
resistor or left open-circuited (three-state) (see Figure 55).

Figure 55. Output Stage During Power-Down
The bias generator, the output amplifier, the resistor string,
and other associated linear circuitry are shut down when
power-down mode is activated. However, the contents of the
DAC register are unaffected when in power-down. The time
to exit power-down is typically 4 µs for both VDD = 5 V and
VDD = 3 V (see Figure 37).
