AD5590GENERAL DESCRIPTION The AD5590 is a 16-channel input and 16-channel output The DAC section of the AD5590 comprises sixteen 12-bit DACs analog I/O port with eight uncommitted amplifiers, operating divided into two groups of eight. Each group has an on-chip from a single 4.5 V to 5.25 V supply. The AD5590 comprises reference. The on-board references are off at power-up, allowing 16 input channels multiplexed into a 1 MSPS, 12-bit successive the use of external references. The internal references are enabled approximation ADC with a sequencer to al ow a preprogrammed via a software write. selection of channels to be converted sequential y. The ADC The AD5590 incorporates a power-on reset circuit that ensures contains a low noise, wide bandwidth track-and-hold amplifier that the DAC outputs power up to 0 V and remain powered up that can handle input frequencies in excess of 1 MHz. at this level until a valid write takes place. The DAC contains a The conversion process and data acquisition are controlled using power-down feature that reduces the current consumption of ASYNC and the serial clock signal, allowing the device to easily the device and provides software-selectable output loads while interface with microprocessors or DSPs. The input signal is in power-down mode for any or all DAC channels. The outputs sampled on the falling edge of ASYNC and conversion is also of all DACs can be updated simultaneously using the LDAC initiated at this point. There are no pipeline delays associated function, with the added functionality of user-selectable DAC with the ADC. By setting the relevant bits in the control register, channels to simultaneously update. There is also an asynchronous the analog input range for the ADC can be selected to be a 0 V CLR that updates al DACs to a user-programmable code: zero to VREFA input or a 0 V to 2 × VREFA with either straight binary scale, midscale, or full scale. or twos complement output coding.
