Data Sheet
HARDWARE RESET (RESET)
RESET is an active low reset that allows the outputs to be cleared to
either zero scale or midscale. The clear code value is user selectable
via the power-on reset select (RSTSEL) pin. It is necessary to
keep RESET low for a minimum amount of time to complete the
operation. When the RESET signal is returned high, the output
remains at the cleared value until a new value is programmed.
The outputs cannot be updated with a new value while
the RESET pin is low. Also, a software executable reset function
can reset the DAC to the power-on reset code. Command 0110
is designated for this software reset function (see Table 7). Any
events on LDAC or RESET during power-on reset are ignored.
RESET SELECT PIN (RSTSEL)
The AD5338R contains a power-on reset circuit that controls the
output voltage during power-up. By connecting the RSTSEL pin
low, the output powers up to zero scale. Note that this is outside
the linear region of the DAC; by connecting the RSTSEL pin
high, VOUT powers up to midscale. The output remains powered
up at this level until a valid write sequence is made to the DAC.
INTERNAL REFERENCE SETUP
Command 0111 is reserved for setting up the internal reference
(see Table 7). By default, the on-chip reference is on at power-up.
To reduce the supply current, this reference can be turned off by
setting the software-programmable bit, DB0, as shown in Table 16.
Table 15 shows how the state of the bit corresponds to the mode
of operation.

SOLDER HEAT REFLOW
As with all IC reference voltage circuits, the reference value
experiences a shift induced by the soldering process. Analog
Devices, Inc., performs a reliability test called precondition to
mimic the effect of soldering a device to a board. The output
voltage specification quoted in Table 3 includes the effect of this
reliability test.
Figure 48 shows the effect of solder heat reflow (SHR) as measured
through the reliability test (precondition).
