Data Sheet AD5560
Rev. D | Page 49 of 68
The AD5560 has three compensation modes. The power-on default mode is
SAFEMODE
enabled. This ensures that the device is stable
into any load. Use Compensation Register 1 to configure the device for autocompensation, where the user inputs the CDUT and ESR
bits, and the AD5560 chooses the most appropriate compensation scheme for these load conditions.

CDUT[3:0] Use these control bits to tell the device how much capacitive load there is so that the device can
optimize the compensation used. Do not overestimate CDUT because this can cause oscillations.
Underestimating CDUT gives suboptimal but stable performance.

ESR[3:0] Use these control bits to tell the device how much ESR there is in series with CDUT so that the device can
optimize the compensation used. Do not underestimate ESR because this can cause oscillations.
Overestimating ESR gives suboptimal but stable performance.

SAFEMODE
SAFEMODE
= 0 overrides values in Compensation Register 1 to make the force amplifier stable under
most load conditions. This mode is useful if it is unknown what the DPS is driving, but it does result in an
extremely slow response. The default operation on power-on or reset is
SAFEMODE
