POWER SUPPLY
The very low power consumption of the AD7392/AD7393 is
a direct result of a circuit design that optimizes the CBCMOS
process. By using the low power characteristics of CMOS for the
logic and the low noise, tight-matching of the complementary
bipolar transistors, excellent analog accuracy is achieved. One
advantage of the rail-to-rail output amplifiers used in the AD7392/
AD7393 is the wide range of usable supply voltage. The part is
fully specified and tested for operation from 2.7 V to 5.5 V.

Whether or not a separate power supply trace is available, gen-
erous supply bypassing reduces supply line induced errors. Local
supply bypassing, consisting of a 10 μF tantalum electrolytic in
parallel with a 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor, is recommended for all

INPUT LOGIC LEVELS
All digital inputs are protected with a Zener-type ESD protection
structure that allows logic input voltages to exceed the VDD supply
voltage (see
Figure 30). This feature is useful if the user is driving
one or more of the digital inputs with a 5 V CMOS logic input
voltage level while operating the AD7392/AD7393 on a 3 V
power supply. If this interface is used, make sure that the VOL
of the 5 V CMOS meets the VIL input requirement of the AD7392/
AD7393 operating at 3 V. See
Figure 12 for a graph of digital
logic input threshold vs. operating VDD supply voltage.

Figure 30. Equivalent Digital Input ESD Protection
To minimize power dissipation from input logic levels that
are near the VIH and VIL logic input voltage specifications, a
Schmitt-trigger design was used that minimizes the input
buffer current consumption compared to traditional CMOS
input stages.
Figure 11 is a plot of supply current vs. incremental
input voltage, showing that negligible current consumption
takes place when logic levels are in their quiescent state. The
normal crossover current still occurs during logic transitions.
A secondary advantage of this Schmitt trigger is the prevention
of false triggers that would occur with slow moving logic transi-
tions when a standard CMOS logic interface or opto-isolators
are used. Logic inputs D11 to D0, CS, RS, and SHDN all contain
the Schmitt-trigger circuits.
DIGITAL INTERFACE
The AD7392/AD7393 have a parallel data input. A functional
block diagram of the digital section is shown in
Figure 31,while
Table 6 contains the truth table for the logic control
inputs. The chip select pin (CS) controls loading of data from
the data inputs on Pin D11 to Pin D0. This active low input
places the input register into a transparent state allowing the
data inputs to directly change the DAC ladder values. When
CS returns to logic high within the data setup-and-hold time
specifications, the new value of data in the input register are
latched. See
Table 6 for a complete listing of conditions.
