AD5421
SERIAL INTERFACE
The AD5421 is controlled by a versatile, 3-wire serial interface
that operates at clock rates up to 30 MHz. It is compatible with
the SPI, QSPI™, MICROWIRE®, and DSP standards. Figure 2
shows the timing diagram. The interface operates with either
a continuous or noncontinuous gated burst clock.
The write sequence begins with a falling edge of the SYNC
signal; data is clocked in on the SDIN data line on the falling
edge of SCLK. On the rising edge of SYNC , the 24 bits of data
are latched; the data is transferred to the addressed register and
the programmed function is executed (either a change in DAC
output or mode of operation).
If packet error checking on the SPI interface is required using
cyclic redundancy codes, an additional eight bits must be written
to the AD5421, creating a 32-bit serial interface. In this case, 32
bits are written to the AD5421 before SYNC is brought high.
INPUT SHIFT REGISTER
The input shift register is 24 bits wide (32 bits wide if CRC error
checking of the data is required). Data is loaded into the device
MSB first as a 24-/32-bit word under the control of a serial clock
input, SCLK. The input shift register consists of an 8-bit address/
command byte, a 16-bit data-word, and an optional 8-bit CRC,
as shown in Table 12 and Table 13.

REGISTER READBACK
To read back a register, Bit D11 of the control register must be set
to Logic 1 to disable the automatic readback of the fault register.
