GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5593R has eight input/output (I/O) pins, which can be
independently configured as digital-to-analog converter (DAC)
outputs, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) inputs, digital outputs,
or digital inputs. When an I/O pin is configured as an analog
output, it is driven by a 12-bit DAC. The output range of the
DAC is 0 V to VREF or 0 V to 2 VREF. When an I/O pin is
configured as an analog input, it is connected to a 12-bit ADC
via an analog multiplexer. The input range of the ADC is 0 V to
VREF or 0 V to 2 VREF. The I/O pins can also be configured to
be general-purpose, digital input or output (GPIO) pins. The
state of the GPIO pins can be set or read back by accessing the
GPIO write data register and GPIO read configuration registers,
respectively, via an I
2
C write or read operation.
The AD5593R has an integrated 2.5 V, 20 ppm/C reference that
is turned off by default and an integrated temperature indicator
that gives an indication of the die temperature. The temperature
value is read back as part of an ADC read sequence.
The AD5593R is available in a 16-lead TSSOP and operates over
a temperature range of 40C to +105C.

When using the internal ADC buffer, there is a dead band of 0 V to 5 mV.
2
Guaranteed by design and characterization; not production tested.
3
All specifications expressed in decibels are referred to full-scale input, FSR, and tested with an input signal at 0.5 dB below full scale, unless otherwise specified.
4
DC specifications tested with the outputs unloaded, unless otherwise noted. Linearity calculated using a reduced code range of 8 to 4085. An upper dead band of
10 mV exists when VREF = VDD.
5
When drawing a load current at either rail, the output voltage headroom with respect to that rail is limited by the 25 typical channel resistance of the output
devices. For example, when sinking 1 mA, the minimum output voltage = 25 1 mA = 25 mV (see Figure 24 and Figure 25).

PIN CONFIGURATION AND FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS

Figure 3. 16-Lead TSSOP Pin Configuration

Table 6. Pin Function Descriptions
Pin No. Mnemonic Description
1 RESET
Asynchronous Reset Pin. Tie this pin high for normal operation. When this pin is brought low, the AD5593R is reset
to its default configuration.
2 A0 Address Input. Sets the LSB of the 7-bit slave address.
3 VDD Power Supply Input. The AD5593R can operate from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. Decouple the supply with a 0.1 F capacitor to GND.
4 to 7,
10 to 13
I/O0 to I/O7 Input/Output 0 through Input/Output 7. These pins can be independently configured as DACs, ADCs, or general-
purpose digital inputs or outputs. The function of each pin is determined by programming the appropriate bits in
the configuration registers.
8 VREF Reference Input/Output. When the internal reference is enabled, the 2.5 V reference voltage is available on the pin.
A 0.1 F capacitor connected from the VREF pin to GND is recommended to achieve the specified performance from
the AD5593R. When the internal reference is disabled, an external reference must be applied to this pin. The
voltage range for the external reference is 1 V to VDD.
9 VLOGIC Interface Power Supply. The voltage ranges from 1.8 V to 5.5 V.
14 GND Ground Reference Point for All Circuitry.
15 SDA Serial Data Input. This pin is used in conjunction with the SCL line to clock data into or out of the input shift register. SDA
is a bidirectional, open-drain line that must be pulled to the VLOGIC supply with an external pull-up resistor.
16 SCL Serial Clock Line. This is used in conjunction with the SDA line to clock data into or out of the 16-bit input register.

TERMINOLOGY
ADC Integral Nonlinearity (INL)
For the ADC, INL is the maximum deviation from a straight
line passing through the endpoints of the ADC transfer function.
The end points of the transfer function are zero scale, a point
that is 1 LSB below the first code transition, and full scale, a
point that is 1 LSB above the last code transition.
ADC Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)
For the ADC, DNL is the difference between the measured and the
ideal 1 LSB change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC.
Offset Error
Offset error is the deviation of the first code transition (00
000) to (00 001) from the ideal, that is, AGND + 1 LSB.
Gain Error
Gain error is the deviation of the last code transition (111
110) to (111 111) from the ideal (that is, VREF 1 LSB) after
the offset error has been adjusted out.
Channel-to-Channel Isolation
Channel-to-channel isolation is a measure of the level of
crosstalk between channels. It is measured by applying a full-
scale 5 kHz sine wave signal to all nonselected ADC input
channels and determining how much that signal is attenuated in
the selected channel. This specification is the worst case across
all ADC channels for the AD5593R.
ADC Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR)
For the ADC, variations in power supply affect the full-scale
transition, but not the converter linearity. Power supply rejection is
the maximum change in the full-scale transition point due to a
change in power supply voltage from the nominal value.
Track-and-Hold Acquisition Time
The track-and-hold amplifier goes into track mode when the
ADC sequence register has been written to. The track and hold
amplifier goes into hold mode when the conversion starts (see
Figure 34). Track-and-hold acquisition time is the minimum time
required for the track-and-hold amplifier to remain in track
mode for its output to reach and settle to within 1 LSB of the
applied input signal, given a step change to the input signal.
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) Ratio (SINAD)
SINAD is the measured ratio of signal to (noise + distortion) at
the output of the analog-to-digital converter. The signal is the
rms amplitude of the fundamental. Noise is the sum of all non-
fundamental signals up to half the sampling frequency (fS/2),
excluding dc. The ratio is dependent on the number of quantization
levels in the digitization process; the more levels, the smaller the
quantization noise. The theoretical SINAD for an ideal N-bit
converter with a sine wave input is given by
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) (dB) = 6.02N + 1.76
Thus for a 12-bit converter, this is 74 dB.


ADC Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
THD is the ratio of the rms sum of harmonics to the
fundamental. For the AD5593R, it is defined as
( )
1
6 5 4 3 2
V
V V V V V
THD
2 2 2 2 2
log 20 dB
+ + + +
=

where V1 is the rms amplitude of the fundamental and V2, V3,
V4, V5, and V6 are the rms amplitudes of the second through the
sixth harmonics.
Peak Harmonic or Spurious Noise
Peak harmonic or spurious noise is defined as the ratio of the
rms value of the next largest component in the ADC output
spectrum (up to fS/2 and excluding dc) to the rms value of the
fundamental. Normally, the value of this specification is
determined by the largest harmonic in the spectrum, but for
ADCs where the harmonics are buried in the noise floor, it is a
noise peak.
DAC Relative Accuracy or Integral Nonlinearity (INL)
For the DAC, relative accuracy or integral nonlinearity is a
measurement of the maximum deviation, in LSBs, from a
straight line passing through the endpoints of the DAC transfer
function. A typical INL vs. code plot is shown in Figure 11.
DAC Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)
For the DAC, differential nonlinearity is the difference between
the measured change and the ideal 1 LSB change between any
two adjacent codes. A specified differential nonlinearity of 1
LSB maximum ensures monotonicity. This DAC is guaranteed
monotonic by design. A typical DNL vs. code plot can be seen
in Figure 12.
Zero Code Error
Zero code error is a measurement of the output error when zero
code (0x000) is loaded to the DAC register. Ideally, the output is
0 V. The zero code error is always positive in the AD5593R
because the output of the DAC cannot go below 0 V due to a
combination of the offset errors in the DAC and the output
amplifier. Zero code error is expressed in mV.
Gain Error
Gain error is a measure of the span error of the DAC. It is the
deviation in slope of the DAC transfer characteristic from the
ideal expressed as % of FSR.
Offset Error
Offset error is a measure of the difference between VOUT (actual)
and VOUT (ideal) expressed in mV in the linear region of the
transfer function. Offset error can be negative or positive.
Offset Error Drift
Offset error drift is a measurement of the change in offset error
with a change in temperature. It is expressed in V/C.


Data Sheet AD5593R

Rev. 0 | Page 15 of 28
DAC DC Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR)
For the DAC, PSRR indicates how the output of the DAC is
affected by changes in the supply voltage. PSRR is the ratio of
the change in VOUT to a change in VDD for full-scale output of
the DAC. It is measured in mV/V. VREF is held at 2 V, and VDD is
varied by 10%.
Output Voltage Settling Time
Output voltage settling time is the amount of time it takes for
the output of a DAC to settle to a specified level for a to
full-scale input change and is measured from the rising edge of
SDA that generates the stop condition.
Digital-to-Analog Glitch Impulse
Digital-to-analog glitch impulse is the impulse injected into the
analog output when the input code in the DAC register changes
state. It is normally specified as the area of the glitch in nV-sec,
and is measured when the digital input code is changed by 1 LSB at
the major carry transition (0x7FF to 0x800) (see Figure 14 and
Figure 15).
Digital Feedthrough
Digital feedthrough is a measure of the impulse injected into the
analog output of the DAC from the digital inputs of the DAC,
but is measured when the DAC output is not updated. It is
specified in nV-sec, and measured with a full-scale code change
on the data bus, that is, from all 0s to all 1s and vice versa.
Reference Feedthrough
Reference feedthrough is the ratio of the amplitude of the signal
at the DAC output to the reference input when the DAC output
is not being updated. It is expressed in dB.
Noise Spectral Density (NSD)
NSD is a measurement of the internally generated random
noise. Random noise is characterized as a spectral density
(nV/Hz). It is measured by loading the DAC to midscale and
measuring noise at the output. It is measured in nV/Hz. A plot
of noise spectral density is shown in Figure 23.
DC Crosstalk
DC crosstalk is the dc change in the output level of one DAC in
response to a change in the output of another DAC. It is
measured with a full-scale output change on one DAC (or soft
power-down and power-up) while monitoring another DAC kept
at midscale. It is expressed in V.
DC crosstalk due to load current change is a measure of the
impact that a change in load current on one DAC has to
another DAC kept at midscale. It is expressed in V/mA.
Digital Crosstalk
Digital crosstalk is the glitch impulse transferred to the output
of one DAC at midscale in response to a full-scale code change
(all 0s to all 1s and vice versa) in the input register of another
DAC. It is measured in standalone mode and is expressed in
nV-sec.

Analog Crosstalk
Analog crosstalk is the glitch impulse transferred to the output
of one DAC due to a change in the output of another DAC. It is
first measured by loading one of the input registers with a full-
scale code change (all 0s to all 1s and vice versa). Then it is
measured by executing a software LDAC and monitoring the
output of the DAC whose digital code was not changed. The area of
the glitch is expressed in nV-sec.
DAC-to-DAC Crosstalk
DAC-to-DAC crosstalk is the glitch impulse transferred to the
output of one DAC due to a digital code change and subsequent
analog output change of another DAC. It is measured by loading
the attack channel with a full-scale code change (all 0s to all 1s
and vice versa), using the write to and update commands while
monitoring the output of the victim channel that is at midscale.
The energy of the glitch is expressed in nV-sec.
Multiplying Bandwidth
The amplifiers within the DAC have a finite bandwidth. The
multiplying bandwidth is a measure of this finite bandwidth. A
sine wave on the reference (with full-scale code loaded to the
DAC) appears on the output. The multiplying bandwidth is the
frequency at which the output amplitude falls to 3 dB below the
input.
DAC Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
For the DAC, THD is the difference between an ideal sine wave
and its attenuated version using the DAC. The sine wave is used
as the reference for the DAC, and the THD is a measurement of
the harmonics present on the DAC output. It is measured in dB.
Voltage Reference Temperature Coefficient (TC)
Voltage reference TC is a measure of the change in the reference
output voltage with a change in temperature. The voltage
reference TC is calculated using the box method, which defines
the TC as the maximum change in the reference output over a
given temperature range expressed in ppm/C, as follows;

THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD5593R is an 8-channel, configurable analog and digital
I/O port. The AD5593R has eight pins that can be independently
configured as a 12-bit DAC output channel, a 12-bit ADC input
channel, a digital input pin, or a digital output pin.
The function of each pin is determined by programming the
ADC, DAC, or GPIO configuration registers as appropriate.
DAC SECTION
The AD5593R contains eight 12-bit DACs. Each DAC consists
of a string of resistors followed by an output buffer amplifier.
Figure 29 shows a block diagram of the DAC architecture.

Figure 29. DAC Channel Architecture Block Diagram
The DAC channels share a single DAC range bit (see Bit D4 in
Table 11) that sets the output range to 0 V to VREF or 0 V to 2
VREF. Because the range bit is shared by all channels, it is not
possible to set different output ranges on a per channel basis.
The input coding to the DAC is straight binary. Therefore, the
ideal output voltage is given by
|

|
=
N REF OUT
D
V G V
2

where:
G = 1 for an output range of 0 V to VREF or G = 2 for an output
range of 0 V to 2 VREF.
VREF is the voltage on the VREF pin.
D is the decimal equivalent of the binary code (0 to 4095) that is
loaded to the DAC register.
N = 12.
Resistor String
The simplified segmented resistor string DAC structure is
shown in Figure 30. The code loaded to the DAC register
determines the switch on the string that is connected to the
output buffer.
Because each resistance in the string has the same value, R, the
string DAC is guaranteed monotonic.


Figure 30. Resistor String
DAC Output Buffer
The output buffer is designed as an input/output rail-to-rail
buffer. The output buffer can drive 2 nF capacitance with a 1 k
resistor in parallel. The slew rate is 1.25 V/s with a to
scale settling time of 6 s. By default, the DAC outputs update
directly after data has been written to the input register. The
LDAC register delays the updates until additional channels have
been written to if required. See the LDAC Mode Operation
section for more information.
ADC SECTION
The ADC section is a fast, 12-bit, single-supply ADC with a
conversion time of 2 s. The ADC is preceded by a multiplexer
that switches selected I/O pins to the ADC. A sequencer is
included to switch the multiplexer to the next selected channel
automatically. Channels are selected for conversion by writing
to the ADC sequence register. When the write to the ADC
sequence register has completed, the first channel in the
conversion sequence is put into track mode. Each channel can
track the input signal for a minimum of 700 ns. The conversion is
initiated on the rising edge of the clock for the acknowledge
(ACK) that occurs after the slave address (see Figure 34).
Each conversion takes 2 s. The ADC has a range bit (ADC
range select in the general-purpose control register, see Bit D5 in
Table 11) that sets the input range as 0 V to VREF or 0 V to 2
VREF. All input channels share the same range. The output
coding of the ADC is straight binary. It is possible to set each
I/Ox pin as both a DAC and an ADC. In this case, the primary
function is that of the DAC. If the pin is selected for inclusion in
an ADC conversion sequence, the voltage on the pin is converted
and made available via the serial interface. This allows the DAC
voltage to be monitored.

Data Sheet AD5593R

Rev. 0 | Page 17 of 28
GPIO SECTION
Each of the eight I/Ox pins can be configured as a general-
purpose digital input or output pin by programming the GPIO
control register. When an I/Ox pin is configured as an output,
the pin can be set high or low by programming the GPIO write
data register. Logic levels for general-purpose outputs are relative
to VDD and GND. When an I/Ox pin is configured as an input,
its status can be determined by reading the GPIO read
configuration register. When an I/Ox pin is set as an output, it is
possible to read its status by also setting it as an input pin.
When reading the status of the I/Ox pins set as inputs the status
of an I/Ox pin set as both and input and output pin is also
returned.
INTERNAL REFERENCE
The AD5593R contains an on-chip 2.5 V reference. The
reference is powered down by default and is enabled by setting
Bit D9 in the power-down/reference control register to 1. When
the on-chip reference is powered up, the reference voltage
appears on the VREF pin and may be used as a reference source
for other components. When the internal reference is used, it is
recommended to decouple VREF to GND using a 100 nF
capacitor. It is recommended that the internal reference be
buffered before using it elsewhere in the system. When the
reference is powered down, an external reference must be
connected to VREF. Suitable external reference sources for the
AD5593R include the AD780, AD1582, ADR431, REF193, and
ADR391.



RESET FUNCTION
The AD5593R has an asynchronous RESET pin. For normal
operation, RESET is tied high. A falling edge on RESET resets
all registers to their default values and reconfigures the I/O pins
to their default values (85 k pull-down resistor to GND). The
reset function takes 250 s maximum; do not write new data to
the AD5593R during this time. The AD5593R has a software
reset that performs the same function as the RESET pin. The
reset function is activated by writing 0x0F to the pointer byte
and 0x05 and 0xAC to the most significant and least significant
bytes, respectively.
TEMPERATURE INDICATOR
The AD5593R contains an integrated temperature indicator that
can be read to provide an estimation of the die temperature.
This can be used in fault detection where a sudden rise in die
temperature may indicate a fault condition, such as a shorted
output. Temperature readback is enabled by setting Bit D8 in
the ADC sequence register. The temperature result is then
added to the ADC sequence. The temperature result has an
address of 0b1000 and care must be taken that this result is not
confused with the readback from DAC0. The temperature
conversion takes 5 s with the ADC buffer enabled and 20 s
when the buffer is disabled. Calculate the temperature using the
following formula:
654 . 2
82
25 C) (
Code ADC
e Temperatur + =

The range of codes returned by the ADC when reading from
the temperature indicator is approximately 645 to 1035,
corresponding to a temperature between 40C to +105C. The
accuracy of the temperature indicator is typically 3C.

AD5593R Data Sheet

Rev. 0 | Page 18 of 28
SERIAL INTERFACE
The AD5593R has a 2-wire, I
2
C -compatible serial interface
(refer to The I
2
C -Bus Specification, Version 2.1, January 2000).
The AD5593R is connected to an I
2
C bus as a slave device
under the control of a master device. See Figure 2 for a timing
diagram of a typical write sequence. The AD5593R supports
standard mode (100 kHz) and fast mode (400 kHz). Support is
not provided for 10-bit addressing and general call addressing.
The AD5593R has a 7-bit slave address; its six MSBs are set to
001000. The LSB is set by the state of the A0 address pin, which
determines the state of the A0 bit. The facility to change the
logic level of the A0 pin before a read or write operation allows
the user to incorporate multiple AD5593R devices on one bus.
The 2-wire serial bus protocol operates as follows: the master
initiates data transfer by establishing a start condition when a
high-to-low transition on the SDA line occurs while SCL is
high. The following byte is the address byte, which consists of
the 7-bit slave address. The slave address corresponding to the
transmitted address responds by pulling SDA low during the
ninth clock pulse (this is termed the acknowledge bit). At this
stage, all other devices on the bus remain idle while the selected
device waits for data to be written to or read from its shift register.
Data is transmitted over the serial bus in sequences of nine
clock pulses (eight data bits followed by an acknowledge bit).
The transitions on the SDA line must occur during the low
period of SCL and remain stable during the high period of SCL.
When all data bits have been read or written, a stop condition is
established.
In write mode, the master pulls the SDA line high during the
10th clock pulse to establish a stop condition. In read mode, the
master issues a no acknowledge for the ninth clock pulse (that
is, the SDA line remains high). The master brings the SDA line
low before the 10th clock pulse and then high during the 10th
clock pulse to establish a stop condition.
WRITE OPERATION
When writing to the AD5593R, the user must begin with a start
command followed by an address byte R/W = 0), after which
the AD5593R acknowledges that it is prepared to receive data
by pulling SDA low. The AD5593R requires three bytes of data.
The first byte is the pointer byte. This byte contains information
defining the type of operation that is required of the AD5593R,
such as configuring the I/O pins and writing to a DAC. The pointer
byte is followed by the most significant byte and the least
significant byte, as shown in Figure 31. After these data bytes
are acknowledged by the AD5593R, a stop condition follows.
READ OPERATION
When reading data back from the AD5593R, the user begins
with a start command followed by an address byte (R/W = 0),
after which the DAC acknowledges that it is prepared to
transmit data by pulling SDA low. The pointer byte is then
written to select what is to be read back. A repeat start or a new
I
2
C transmission can then follow to read two bytes of data from
the AD5593R. Both bytes are acknowledged by the master, as
shown in Figure 32.
It is also possible to perform consecutive readbacks without
having to provide interim start and stop conditions or slave
addresses. This method can be used to read blocks of
conversions from the ADC, as shown in Figure 34.

POINTER BYTE
The pointer byte contains eight bits. Bits[D7:D4] are mode bits
that select the operation to be executed. The data contained in
Bits[D3:D0] depend on the operation required. Table 7 shows
the configuration of the pointer byte. When Bits[D7:D4] are
0b0000, the mode dependent bits (Bits[D3:D0]) select a control
register to write data to. The data written to a control register is
contained in the MSB and LSB as shown in Figure 31. The mode
dependent data bits also select which DAC is updated during a
DAC write operation and which register is selected for readback.

CONTROL REGISTERS
Table 9 shows the control register map for the AD5593R. The
control registers configure the I/O pins and set various
operating parameters in the AD5593R, such as enabling the
reference, selecting the LDAC mode function, or selecting
power-down modes. The control registers are written to using
the 4-byte I
2
C write sequence shown in Figure 31. To write to a
control register, the mode bits (Bits[D7:D4]) of the pointer byte
are zeros. The mode dependent data bits (Bits[D3:D0]) of the
pointer byte select which control register is to be accessed. The
data to be written to the control register is contained in the
most significant and least significant data bytes. These contain a
total of 16 bits and are shown as D15 to D0 in Table 10 and
Table 11. The contents of the control registers can be read back
using the read sequence shown in Figure 32 or Figure 33.

GENERAL-PURPOSE CONTROL REGISTER
The general-purpose control register enables or disables certain
functions associated with the DAC, ADC, and I/O pin configura-
tion (see Table 11). The register sets the output range of the
DAC and input range of the ADC, which sets their transfer
functions, enables/disables the ADC buffer, and enables the
precharge function (see the ADC Section for more details). The
register is also used to lock the I/O pin configuration to prevent
accidental change. When Bit D7 is set to 1, writes to the
configuration registers are ignored.

CONFIGURING THE AD5593R
The AD5593R I/O pins are configured by writing to a series of
pin configuration registers. The control registers are accessed
when Bits[D7:D4] are 0b0000. Bits[D3:D0] determine which
register is accessed as shown in Table 9.
On power-up, the I/O pins are configured as 85 k resistors
connected to GND. The I/O channels of the AD5593R can be
configured to operate as DAC outputs, ADC inputs, digital
outputs, digital inputs, three-state, or connected to GND with
85 k pull-down resistors. When configured as digital outputs,
the pins have the additional option of being configured as
push/pull or open-drain.
The I/O channels are configured by writing to the appropriate
configuration registers, as shown in Table 9. To assign a
particular function for an I/O channel, write to the appropriate
register and set the corresponding bit to 1. For example, setting
Bit D0 in the DAC configuration register configures I/O0 as a
DAC. In the event that the bit for an I/O channel is set in
multiple configuration registers, the I/O channel adopts the
function dictated by the last write operation.
The exceptions to this rule are that an I/Ox pin can be set as
both a DAC and ADC or as a digital input and output. When an
I/Ox pin is configured as a DAC and ADC, the primary
function is as a DAC and the ADC can be used to measure the
voltage being provided by the DAC. This feature can be used to
monitor the output voltage to detect short circuits or overload
conditions. Figure 35 shows an example of how to configure
I/O1 and I/O7 as DACs. When a pin is configured as both a
general-purpose input and output, the primary function is as an
output pin. This configuration allows the status of the output pin
to be determined by reading the GPIO read configuration
register.
The general-purpose control register contains a lock
configuration bit. When the lock configuration bit is set to 1,
any writes to the pin configuration registers are ignored, thus
preventing the function of the I/O pins from being changed.
The I/O pins can be reconfigured any time when the AD5593R
is in an idle state, that is, no ADC conversions are taking place
and no registers are being read back. The lock configuration bit
must also be set to 0.

DAC WRITE OPERATION
Data is written to a DAC when the mode bits (Bits[D7:D4]) of
the pointer byte are 0b0001 (see Table 8). Bits[D2:D0]
determine which DAC is addressed. Data to be written to the
DAC is contained in the MSB and LSB, as shown in Table 15.
Data is written to the selected DAC input register. Data written
to the input register can be automatically copied to the DAC
register, if required. Data is transferred to the DAC register
based on the setting of the LDAC mode register (see Table 13).
LDAC Mode Operation
The transfer of data from an input register to a DAC register is
controlled by Bit D1 and Bit D0 of the readback and LDAC
mode register (pointer byte = 0b00000111). When the LDAC
mode bits (Bit D1 and Bit D0) are set to 00, new data is
automatically transferred from the input register to the DAC
register and the analog output updates. When the LDAC mode
bits are set to 01, data remains in the input register. This allows
writes to input registers without affecting the analog outputs.
After loading the input registers with the desired values and
setting the LDAC mode bits to 10, the values in the input
registers transfer to the DAC registers and the analog outputs
update simultaneously. The LDAC mode bits then revert to 01.
Table 13. LDAC Mode Register
D1 D0 LDAC Mode
0 0 Data written to an input register is immediately
copied to a DAC register and the DAC output
updates (default).
0 1 Data written to an input register is not copied to a
DAC register. The DAC output is not updated.
1 0 Data in the input registers is copied to the
corresponding DAC registers. When the data has
been transferred, the DAC outputs are updated
simultaneously.
1 1 Reserved.
DAC READBACK
The input register of each DAC can be read back via the I
2
C
interface. This can be useful to confirm that the data was received
correctly before writing to the LDAC register or simply checking
what value was last loaded to a DAC. Data can be read back
from a DAC only when no ADC conversion sequence is taking
place. A DAC input register can be read back using the sequence
shown in Figure 32 or Figure 33. The mode bits, Bits[D3:D0], of
the pointer register, 0b0101, select which DAC input register is
to be read back. When the DAC register is read back, the MSB
of the most significant data byte is a 1 to indicate that the result
is an ADC register. The next three bits (Bits[D14:D12]) contain
the DAC register address (see Table 15) and Bits[D11:D0]
contain the DAC register value. Figure 36 shows an example of
reading the input register of DAC2.

ADC OPERATION
The ADC channels of the AD5593R operate as a traditional
multichannel ADC, where each serial transfer selects the next
channel for conversion. The user must write to the ADC
sequence register (see Table 17) to select the input channels to
be included in the conversion sequence before initiating any
conversions. This is done using the I
2
C write sequence shown in
Figure 31. When writing to the ADC sequence register, select
which channels are to be converted in sequence. The user can
also set the REP bit to have the ADC repeat conversions in the
sequence.
When the sequence register has been written to, the ADC
begins to track the first channel in the sequence. ADC data can
be read from the AD5593R using any of the three read
operations shown in Figure 32, Figure 33, and Figure 34, with
the I
2
C block read (Figure 34) being the most efficient.
If more than one channel is selected in the ADC sequence
register, the ADC converts all selected channels sequentially in
ascending order. Conversion is started by the rising edge of SCL
at the acknowledge (ACK) preceding the MSB (see Figure 34).
If the REP bit is set after all of the selected channels in the
sequence register have been converted, the ADC repeats the
sequence. If the REP bit is clear, the ADC clocks out the last
result on subsequent I
2
C reads.
Figure 37 shows how to configure the AD5593R to perform
ADC conversions. In Step 1, I/O7 and I/O0 are configured as
ADCs. Step 2 writes to the ADC configuration register, sets the
REP bit, and selects ADC7 and ADC0 for inclusion in the
conversion sequence. Step 3 selects the ADCs for reading and
Step 4 begins reading the ADC results. The conversions are
repeated until a stop condition is given by the controller.
The ADC sequence can be changed by writing the new
sequence to the ADC sequence register when conversions are
not taking place. When a new sequence is written, any channels
remaining to be converted from the earlier sequence are
ignored and the ADC starts converting the first channel of the
new sequence.
To stop the ADC conversion sequence, clear the REP, TEMP,
and ADC7 to ADC0 bits in the ADC sequence register to 0.

GPIO OPERATION
Each of the I/Ox pins of the AD5593R can be configured to
operate as a general-purpose, digital input or output pin. The
function of the pins is determined by writing to the appropriate
bit in the GPIO read configuration and GPIO write
configuration registers using the 4-byte I
2
C write shown in
Figure 31.
Setting Pins as Outputs
To set a pin as a general-purpose output, set the appropriate bit
in the GPIO write configuration register to 1. For example,
setting Bit D0 to 1 enables I/O0 as a general-purpose output.
The outputs can be independently configured as push/pull or
open-drain outputs. When in push/pull configuration, the
output is driven to VDD or GND as determined by the data in
the GPIO write data register. When in open-drain configuration,
the output is driven to GND when a data bit in the GPIO write
data register sets the pin low. When the pin is set high, the
output is not driven and must be pulled high by an external
resistor. This allows multiple output pins to be tied together. If
all the pins are normally high, it allows one pin to pull down the
others. This is commonly used where multiple pins are used to
trigger an alarm or interrupt pin. The state of the output pin is
controlled by setting or clearing the bits in the GPIO write data
register (pointer byte = 0b00001001). A data bit is ignored if it is
written to a location that is not configured as an output.

Setting Pins as Inputs
To set an I/Ox pin as a general-purpose input, set the
appropriate bit in the GPIO read configuration register to 1. For
example, setting Bit D0 to 1 enables I/O0 as a general-purpose
input. To read the state of general-purpose inputs, set the
pointer byte to 0b01100000 (see Table 8 ) using any of the read
operations shown in Figure 32, Figure 33, and Figure 34. The
status of any I/O pin set as a general-purpose input appears in
the appropriate bit location in the least significant data byte.
Three-State Pins
The I/Ox pins can be set to three-state by writing to the three-
state configuration register (pointer byte = 0b00001101) as
shown in Table 21.

Table 22.

AD5593R Data Sheet

Rev. 0 | Page 26 of 28
POWER-DOWN/REFERENCE CONTROL
The AD5593R has a power-down/reference control register
(pointer byte = 0b00001011) that reduces the power
consumption when certain functions are not needed. The
power-down register allows any channels set as DACs to be
placed in a power-down state individually. When in power-down,
the DAC outputs are three-stated. When a DAC channel is
returned into normal mode, the DAC output returns to its
previous value. The internal reference and its buffer are
powered down by default and are enabled by setting the
EN_REF bit in the power-down register. The internal reference
voltage then appears at the VREF pin.
There is no dedicated power-down function for the ADC, but
the ADC is automatically powered down if none of the I/Ox
pins are selected as ADCs. The ADC powers up if a read of the
temperature indicator is initiated. The PD_ALL bit powers
down all the DACs, the reference, its buffer, and the ADC. The
PD_ALL bit also overrides the settings of Bit D9 to Bit D0.
Table 23 shows the power-down register.
RESET FUNCTION
The AD5593R can be reset to its default conditions by writing
0x0DAC to the reset register (pointer byte = 0b00001111). This
resets all registers to their default values and reconfigures the
I/Ox pins to their default values (85 k pull-down to GND).
The reset function takes 100 s maximum and new data must
not be written to the AD5593R during this time. The AD5593R
has a RESET pin that performs the same function. For normal
operation, RESET is tied high. A falling edge on RESET triggers
the reset function.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING
Microprocessor interfacing to the AD5593R is via a serial bus
using a standard I
2
C protocol. The communications channel
requires a 2-wire interface consisting of a clock signal and a data
signal.
AD5593R TO ADSP-BF537 INTERFACE
The I
2
C interface of the AD5593R is designed to be easily
connected to industry-standard DSPs and microcontrollers.
Figure 38 shows the AD5593R connected to the Analog Devices
Blackfin DSP. The Blackfin has an integrated I
2
C port that can
be connected directly to the I
2
C pins of the AD5593R.

Figure 38. ADSP-BF537 Interface
LAYOUT GUIDELINES
In any circuit where accuracy is important, careful consideration
of the power supply and ground return layout helps to ensure
the rated performance. The printed circuit board (PCB) on
which the AD5593R is mounted must be designed so that the
AD5593R lies on the analog plane.
The AD5593R must have ample supply bypassing of 10 F in
parallel with 0.1 F on each supply, located as close to the package
as possible, ideally right up against the device. The 10 F
capacitors are the tantalum bead type. The 0.1 F capacitor
must have low effective series resistance (ESR) and low effective
series inductance (ESI) such as the common ceramic types,
which provide a low impedance path to ground at high
frequencies to handle transient currents due to internal logic
switching.
