CIRCUIT FUNCTION AND BENEFITS
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This circuit provides a complete solution for an industrial
control output module. This design is suitable for process
control programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and distributed
control systems (DCSes) that require bipolar output voltage
ranges. The AD5662 nanoDAC® is a 5 V, 16-bit DAC in a
SOT-23 package. The ADuM1401 four-channel digital isolator
provides all the necessary signal isolation between the
microcontroller and the DAC.
For industrial control modules, analog output voltage ranges are
typically ±5 V, ±10 V, 0 V to 5 V, or 0 V to 10 V. The AD5662
provides a 0 V to 5 V output, which goes through two gain and
offset stages to provide 16-bit resolution in each of the above
ranges. Jumpers (shown here as switches) are used to switch
between output ranges. The OP2177 was chosen for this design,
primarily due to low noise and offset performance, as well as
bipolar voltage capability.
The ADR02 was chosen as the reference for this circuit. The
ADR02 has excellent ppm drift specs at 9 ppm/°C max. It is
also often used in industrial applications due to its high input
range to 36 V.

“Circuits from the Lab” from Analog Devices have been designed and built by Analog Devices
engineers. Standard engineering practices have been employed in the design and construction of
each circuit, and their function and performance have been tested and verified in a lab environment
at room temperature. However, you are solely responsible for testing the circuit and determining its
suitability and applicability for your use and application. Accordingly, in no event shall Analog

Circuit Note
The ADuM1401 is a four-channel digital isolator based on
Analog Devices iCoupler® technology. It is used to provide
isolation between the AD5662 and the system microcontroller,
with an isolation rating of 2.5 kV rms. Three wires are used to
connect the standard SPI interface connections to the AD5662:
SYNC, SCLK, and DIN.
Figure 2 shows an output error plot (integral nonlinearity) of
the output of the circuit when the AD5662 is used with the
ADR02 external reference. Results are shown in %FSR (fullscale range) as a function of input code.
