APPLICATIONS INFORMATION 
SUPPLY DECOUPLING 
It is recommended to decouple the V
CC
 and IOV
CC
 supplies with 
10 F in parallel with 0.1 F capacitors to ground. For many 
applications, 1 F in parallel with 0.1 F ceramic capacitors to 
ground should be sufficient. The REG_CAP voltage of 1.8 V is 
used to supply the AD5700/AD5700-1 internal circuitry and is 
derived from the V
CC
 supply using a high efficiency clocking 
LDO. Decouple this REG_CAP supply with a 1 µF ceramic 
capacitor to ground. It is also required to decouple the REF pin 
with a 1 µF ceramic capacitor to ground. Place decoupling 
capacitors as close to the relevant pins as possible. 
For loop-powered applications, it is recommended to connect a 
resistance in series with the V
CC
 supply to minimize the effect of 
any noise, which may, depending on the system configuration, be 
introduced onto the loop as a result of current draw variations 
from the AD5700/AD5700-1. For typical applications, 470 Ω of 
resistance has proven most effective. However, depending on the 
application conditions, alternative values may also be acceptable 
(see R1 in Figure 31). 
TRANSIENT VOLTAGE PROTECTION 
Many industrial control applications have requirements for 
HART-enabled current input and output modules. Figure 28 
shows an example of a HART-enabled current input module 
that contains transient voltage protection circuitry, which is 
very important in harsh industrial control environments. 
The module is powered from a 24 V field supply, and the 250 Ω 
load is within the low impedance module itself. This configuration 
is in contrast to Figure 29, which demonstrates a secondary HART 
device, in which the load is outside of the module. For transient 
voltage protection, a 10 V unidirectional (for protection against 
positive high voltage transients) transient voltage suppressor (TVS) 
is placed at the connection point of the current input module. 
The TVS component that is used in a given application circuit 
must have power ratings that are appropriate to the individual 
system. When choosing the TVS, low leakage current is also an 
important specification for maintaining the accuracy of the analog 
current input. In the event of a transient spike, the 22 Ω series 
resistor acts as a current limiting resistor for the FSK output pin. 
The FSK input pin is inherently protected by the 150 kΩ resistor, 
which forms part of the recommended external filter circuitry 
at the FSK input. The voltage divider, made up of both a 75 kΩ 
resistor and a 22 kΩ resistor, is used to maintain a 0.75 V dc bias 
at the field side of the FSK output switch.
