DIGITAL SLEW RATE CONTROL
The digital slew rate control feature of the
AD5735 allows the
user to control the rate at which the output value changes. This
feature is available on both the current and voltage outputs. With
the slew rate control feature disabled, the output value changes
at a rate limited by the output drive circuitry and the attached
load. To reduce the slew rate, the user can enable the digital slew
rate control feature using the SREN bit of the slew rate control
When slew rate control is enabled, the output, instead of slewing
directly between two values, steps digitally at a rate defined by
the SR_CLOCK and SR_STEP parameters. These parameters
are accessible via the slew rate control register (se
e Table 29).
SR_CLOCK defines the rate at which the digital slew is
updated; for example, if the selected update rate is 8 kHz,
the output is updated every 125 s.
SR_STEP defines by how much the output value changes
at each update.
Together, these parameters define the rate of change of the
the SR_CLOCK and SR_STEP parameters, respectively.

Slew Rate is expressed in seconds.
Output Change is expressed in amperes for IOUT_x or in
volts for VOUT_x.
The update clock frequency for any given value is the same for
all output ranges. The step size, however, varies across output
ranges for a given value of step size because the LSB size is
different for each output range.
When the slew rate control feature is enabled, all output changes
CLEAR pin is asserted, the output slews to the clear value at the
programmed slew rate (assuming that the channel is enabled to
be cleared).
If more than one channel is enabled for digital slew rate control,
care must be taken when asserting the CLEAR pin. If a channel
under slew rate control is slewing when the CLEAR pin is asserted,
other channels under slew rate control may change directly to
their clear code not under slew rate control.
DYNAMIC POWER CONTROL
When configured in current output mode, the
AD5735 provides
integrated dynamic power control using a dc-to-dc boost converter
circuit. This circuit reduces power consumption compared with
standard designs.
In standard current input module designs, the load resistor
values can range from typically 50 to 750 . Output module
systems must source enough voltage to meet the compliance
voltage requirement across the full range of load resistor values.
For example, in a 4 mA to 20 mA loop when driving 20 mA, a
compliance voltage of >15 V is required. When driving 20 mA
into a 50 load, a compliance voltage of only 1 V is required.
The
AD5735 circuitry senses the output voltage and regulates
this voltage to meet the compliance requirements plus a small
headroom voltage. Th
e AD5735 is capable of driving up to
24 mA through a 1 k load.
