POWER-ON TO 0 V
resetting all registers to their default values, controls the output
voltage during power-up. Upon power-on the DAC is placed in
tristate (its reference inputs are disconnected) and its output is
clamped to ground through a ~6 kΩ resistor. The DAC remains
in this state until programmed otherwise via the control
register. This is a useful feature in applications where it is
important to know the state of the DAC output while it is in the
process of powering up.
After power-on th
e AD5791 must be configured to put it into
normal operating mode before programming the output. To do
this, the control register must be programmed. The DAC is
removed from tristate by clearing the DACTRI bit, and the
output clamp is removed by clearing the OPGND bit. At this
point, the output goes to VREFN, unless an alternative value is
first programmed to the DAC register.
DAC OUTPUT STATE
The DAC output can be placed in one of three states, controlled
by the DACTRI and OPGND bits of the control register, as

LINEARITY COMPENSATION
The integral nonlinearity (INL) of th
e AD5791 can vary according
to the applied reference voltage span, the LIN COMP bits of
the control register can be programmed to compensate for
this variation in INL. The specifications in this data sheet are
obtained with LIN COMP = 0000 for reference spans up to
and including 10 V and with LIN COMP = 1100 for a reference
span of 20 V. The default value of the LIN COMP bits is 0000.
Intermediate LIN COMP values can be programmed for reference
OUTPUT AMPLIFIER CONFIGURATION
There are a number of different ways that an output amplifier
can be connected to the
AD5791, depending on the voltage
references applied and the desired output voltage span.
Unity Gain Configuration
Figure 50 shows an output amplifier configured for unity gain,
in this configuration the output spans from VREFN to VREFP.

Figure 50. Output Amplifier in Unity Gain Configuration
A second unity gain configuration for the output amplifier is
one that removes an offset from the input bias currents of the
amplifier. It does this by inserting a resistance in the feedback
path of the amplifier that is equal to the output resistance of the
DAC. The DAC output resistance is 3.4 kΩ, by connecting R1
and RFB in parallel, a resistance equal to the DAC resistance is
available on chip. Because the resistors are all on one piece of
silicon, they are temperature coefficient matched. To enable this
mode of operation the RBUF bit of the control register must be
connected to th
e AD5791. In this configuration, the output
amplifier is in unity gain and the output spans from VREFN to
VREFP. This unity gain configuration allows a capacitor to be placed
in the amplifier feedback path to improve dynamic performance.
