The DACs in the AD5303/AD5313/AD5323 can be paired
together to form a coarse and fine adjustment function, as
shown in Figure 45. DAC A provides the coarse adjustment
while DAC B provides the fine adjustment. Varying the ratio
of R1 and R2 changes the relative effect of the coarse and fine
adjustments. With the resistor values and external reference
shown, the output amplifier has unity gain for the DAC A
output, so the output range is 0 V to 2.5 V − 1 LSB. For
DAC B, the amplifier has a gain of 7.6 × 10–3, giving DAC B
a range equal to 19 mV.

several DACs, or where the user wishes to read back the DAC
contents for diagnostic purposes, the SDO pin may be used to
daisy-chain several devices together and provide serial readback.
By connecting the daisy-chain enable (DCEN) pin high, the
daisy-chain mode is enabled. It is tied low in standalone mode.
In daisy-chain mode, the internal gating on SCLK is disabled.
The SCLK is continuously applied to the input shift register

is low. If more than 16 clock pulses are applied,
the data ripples out of the shift register and appears on the SDO
line. This data is clocked out after the falling edge of SCLK and
is valid on the subsequent rising and falling edges. By connect-
ing this line to the DIN input on the next DAC in the chain, a
multiDAC interface is constructed. Sixteen clock pulses are
required for each DAC in the system. Therefore, the total
number of clock cycles must equal 16N, where N is the total
number of devices in the chain. When the serial transfer to all
SYNC
devices is complete,
should be taken high. This prevents
any further data from being clocked into the input shift register.
