PIN DESCRIPTION
Pin Function
SDI Serial Data Input, input data loads directly into the shift register.
CLK Clock input, positive edge clocks data into shift register.
CS Chip Select, active low input. Prevents shift register loading when high. Does not affect LDA and LDB operation.
LDA/B Load DAC register strobes, active low. Transfers shift register data to DAC register. See truth table for operation.
Software decode feature only requires one LD strobe. Tie LDA and LDB together or use one of them with the
other pin tied high.
SDO Serial Data Output. Output of shift register, always active.
RS Resets DAC registers to condition determined by MSB pin. Active low input.
MSB Digital input: High presets DAC registers to half scale (800H); Low clears all registers to zero (000H), when RS is
strobed to active low.
VDD Positive +5 V power supply input. Tolerance ± 10%.
AGND Analog Ground Input.
DGND Digital Ground Input.
VREF Reference Voltage Output, 2.5 V nominal.
VOUT A/B DAC A/B voltage outputs, 4.095 V full scale, ± 5 mA output.
CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. WARNING!
Although the AD8522 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may
occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD

precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

OPERATION
VDD
The AD8522 is a complete ready-to-use dual 12-bit digital-to-
analog converter. Only one +5 V power supply is necessary for
P-CH
operation. It contains two voltage-switched, 12-bit, laser-
trimmed digital-to-analog converters, a curvature-corrected
bandgap reference, rail-to-rail output op amps, input registers, VOUT
and DAC registers. The serial data interface consists of a serial N-CH
data input (SDI), clock (CLK), and two load strobe pins (LDA,
LDB) with an active low CS strobe. In addition, an asynchro-
nous RS pin will set all DAC register bits to zero causing the

VOUT to become zero volts, or to midscale for trimming applica-
tions when the MSB pin is programmed to Logic 1. This func-
