SYNC Interrupt
In a normal write sequence, the SYNC line is kept low for at
least 16 falling edges of SCLK and the DAC is updated on the
16th falling edge. However, if SYNC is brought high before the
16th falling edge this acts as an interrupt to the write sequence.
The shift register is reset and the write sequence is seen as
invalid. Neither an update of the DAC register contents or a
change in the operating mode occurs—see Figure 23.

Power-On-Reset
The AD5300 contains a power-on-reset circuit which controls
the output voltage during power-up. The DAC register is filled
with zeros and the output voltage is 0 V. It remains there until
a valid write sequence is made to the DAC. This is useful in
applications where it is important to know the state of the out-
put of the DAC while it is in the process of powering up.
Figure 24. Output Stage During Power-Down
The bias generator, the output amplifier, the resistor string and
other associated linear circuitry are all shut down when the
power-down mode is activated. However, the contents of the
DAC register are unaffected when in power-down. The time to
exit power-down is typically 2.5 µs for VDD = 5 V and 5 µs for
VDD = 3 V. See Figure 18 for a plot.
Power-Down Modes
The AD5300 contains four separate modes of operation. These
modes are software-programmable by setting two bits (DB13
and DB12) in the control register. Table I shows how the state
of the bits corresponds to the mode of operation of the device.
MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING
AD5300 to ADSP-2101/ADSP-2103 Interface
Figure 25 shows a serial interface between the AD5300 and the
ADSP-2101/ADSP-2103. The ADSP-2101/ADSP-2103 should
be set up to operate in the SPORT Transmit Alternate Framing
Mode. The ADSP-2101/ADSP-2103 SPORT is programmed
through the SPORT control register and should be configured
as follows: Internal Clock Operation, Active Low Framing, 16-
Bit Word Length. Transmission is initiated by writing a word to
the Tx register after the SPORT has been enabled.

When both bits are set to 0, the part works normally with its
normal power consumption of 140 µA at 5 V. However, for the
three power-down modes, the supply current falls to 200 nA at
5 V (50 nA at 3 V). Not only does the supply current fall but
the output stage is also internally switched from the output of
the amplifier to a resistor network of known values. This has the
advantage that the output impedance of the part is known while
the part is in power-down mode. There are three different options.
The output is connected internally to GND through a 1 kΩ resis-
tor, a 100 kΩ resistor or it is left open-circuited (Three-State).
The output stage is illustrated in Figure 24.
