PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD420 is a complete digital to current loop output con-
verter, designed to meet the needs of the industrial control
market. It provides a high precision, fully integrated, low cost
single-chip solution for generating current loop signals in a
compact 24-lead SOIC or PDIP package.
The output current range can be programmed to 4 mA–20 mA,
0 mA–20 mA or an overrange function of 0 mA–24 mA. The
AD420 can alternatively provide a voltage output from a sepa-
rate pin that can be configured to provide 0 V–5 V, 0 V–10 V,
amplifier.
The 3.3M Baud serial input logic design minimizes the cost of
galvanic isolation and allows for simple connection to com-
monly used microprocessors. It can be used in three-wire or
asynchronous mode and a serial-out pin is provided to allow
daisy chaining of multiple DACs on the current loop side of the
isolation barrier.
The AD420 uses sigma-delta (
16-bit monotonicity at very low cost. Full-scale settling to 0.1%
occurs within 3 ms. The only external components that are re-
quired (in addition to normal transient protection circuitry) are
two low cost capacitors which are used in the DAC output filter.
If the AD420 is going to be used at extreme temperatures and
supply voltages, an external output transistor can be used to
minimize power dissipation on the chip via the “BOOST” pin.
The FAULT DETECT pin signals when an open circuit occurs
in the loop. The on-chip voltage reference can be used to supply
a precision +5 V to external components in addition to the
AD420 or, if the user desires temperature stability exceeding
25 ppm/ C, an external precision reference such as the AD586
can be used as the reference.

... FAULT DETECT output becomes active. Instead, the signal is generated when the internal ampli- fier in the output stage of the AD420 has less than approximately one volt remaining of drive capability (when the gate of the output PMOS transistor nearly reaches ground). Thus the FAULT DETECT output activates slightly before the compli- ance limit is reached ...
