where:
VREFN is the negative voltage applied at the VREFN input pin.
VREFP is the positive voltage applied at the VREFP input pin.

N is the number of bits.
Example 1: Initializing and Writing to the DAC Register
Initializing the DAC
To initialize the part,
- Because this initialization is a write to the part, set the R/
bit to a Logic 0.
- Keep the default mode for SDODIS and RBUF.
- To write in binary coding, select BIN/2sC = 1.
- Set DACTRI = 0 and OPGND = 0 to place the DAC in normal operating mode and remove the DAC output clamp to ground, respectively.
Write the following over the serial interface: 0010 0000 0000 0000 0001 0010 (R/ bit, three register address bits, 20 data bits).
See Table 6 and Figure 6.
Table 6. Bit Settings to Initialize and Write to the Part
| Bit(s) | Bit Name | Setting | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 23 | R/ | 0 | AD5760/AD5780/AD5790 addressed for a write operation |
| [22:20] | C2, C1, C0 | 010 | Write to the control register |
| 5 | SDODIS | 0 | The SDO pin enabled for future readings from the part |
| 4 | BIN/2sC | 1 | Offset binary coding |
| 3 | DACTRI | 0 | Place the DAC in normal operating mode |
| 2 | OPGND | 0 | Remove the DAC output clamp to ground |
| 1 | RBUF | 1 | The internal amplifier powered down |
To write in binary coding, set BIN/2sC = 1.
The default coding is twos complement. The same 24-bit data impacts the values that the user writes to or reads from the part in a different way depending on the coding selected. The user must verify the coding used by writing to the control register or reading back from it.
Figure 6. Initializing the Part
Writing to the DAC Register
To write a midscale code to the DAC register,
- Set R/
- Set C[2:0] = 001 for the correspondent register address.
- Set D[19:0], the data bits, for a midscale code.
The 24-bit data to write over the serial interface is as follows:
16-bit AD5760: 0001 1000 0000 0000 0000 XXXX
18-bit AD5780: 0001 1000 0000 0000 0000 00XX
20-bit AD5790: 0001 1000 0000 0000 0000 0000
where X = don't care.
See Table 7 and Figure 7.
Table 7. Bit Settings to Write to DAC Register
Figure 7. Writing to the DAC Register
Example 2: Clearing the DAC to a Defined Value
Writing to the Clearcode Register
To define the value at which the DAC output is set when the pin or CLR bit in the software control register is asserted, write the desired code to the clearcode register.
For a full-scale clear code, write the following over the serial interface:
16-bit AD5760: 0011 1111 1111 1111 1111 XXXX
18-bit AD5780: 0011 1111 1111 1111 1111 11XX
20-bit AD5790: 0011 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111
where X = don't care.
See Figure 8.
Figure 8. Writing Full-Scale Code to the Clearcode Register
Writing to the Software Control Register
Set the CLR bit to a Logic 1 to set the DAC register to a user defined value and update the DAC output.
Write the following over the serial interface: 0100 0000 0000 0000 0000 0010
The user should see the DAC output value change to full-scale code.
See Figure 9.
Figure 9. Clearing the Part to a User Defined Value
Reading from the Clearcode Register
To confirm the clearcode value written to the part, read the data from the clearcode register (full scale for this example).
Write the following over the serial interface:
1011 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX.
where X = don't care.
See Figure 10.
Note that this action is a read function. Therefore, set the R/ bit = 1.
D19 to D0, the data bits, are don't care bits because the intention is to read from the part and not to write to the part.
