FEATURES
12-bit resolution and monotonicity
Dynamic power control for thermal management
or external PMOS mode
Current output ranges: 0 mA to 20 mA, 4 mA to 20 mA,
and 0 mA to 24 mA
±0.1% total unadjusted error (TUE) maximum
User-programmable offset and gain
On-chip diagnostics
On-chip reference: ±10 ppm/°C maximum

AD5737
Each channel has a corresponding CHART pin so that HART
signals can be coupled onto the current output of the
AD5737.
The
AD5737
uses a versatile 3-wire serial interface that operates
at clock rates of up to 30 MHz and is compatible with standard
SPI, QSPI™, MICROWIRE®, DSP, and microcontroller interface
standards. The serial interface also features optional CRC-8 packet
error checking, as well as a watchdog timer that monitors activity
on the interface.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The
AD5737
is a quad-channel current output DAC that
operates with a power supply range from 10.8 V to 33 V.
On-chip dynamic power control minimizes package power
dissipation by regulating the voltage on the output driver from
7.4 V to 29.5 V using a dc-to-dc boost converter optimized for
minimum on-chip power dissipation.
