TRANSIENT VOLTAGE PROTECTION
The AD5750/AD5750-1/AD5750-2 contain ESD protection
diodes that prevent damage from normal handling. The industrial
control environment can, however, subject I/O circuits to much
higher transients. To protect the AD5750/AD5750-1/AD5750-2
from excessively high voltage transients, external power diodes
and a surge current limiting resistor may be required, as shown
in Figure 56. The constraint on the resistor value is that during
normal operation the output level at IOUT must remain within
its voltage compliance limit of AVDD − 2.75 V and the two
protection diodes and resistor must have appropriate power
ratings. Further protection can be added with transient voltage
suppressors, if needed.

THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
It is important to understand the effects of power dissipation
on the package and how it affects junction temperature. The
internal junction temperature should not exceed 125°C. The
AD5750/AD5750-1/AD5750-2 are packaged in a 32-lead, 5 mm ×
5 mm LFCSP package. The thermal impedance, θJA, is 28°C/W. It
is important that the devices are not being operated under
conditions that cause the junction temperature to exceed its
junction temperature.
Worst-case conditions occur when the AD5750/AD5750-1/
AD5750-2 are operated from the maximum AVDD (26.4 V) and
are driving the maximum current (24 mA) directly to ground.
The quiescent current of the AD5750/AD5750-1/AD5750-2
should also be taken into account, nominally ~4 mA.
The following calculations estimate maximum power dissipation
under these worst-case conditions and determine the maximum
ambient temperature:
Power Dissipation = 26.4 V × 28 mA = 0.7392 W
Temperature Increase = 28°C × 0.7392 W = 20.7°C
Maximum Ambient Temperature = 125°C − 20.7°C = 104.3°C
These figures assume that proper layout and grounding techniques
are followed to minimize power dissipation, as outlined in the
Layout Guidelines section.

LAYOUT GUIDELINES
In any circuit where accuracy is important, careful consideration
of the power supply and ground return layout helps to ensure the
rated performance. The PCB on which the AD5750/AD5750-1/
AD5750-2 are mounted should be designed so that the AD5750/
AD5750-1/AD5750-2 lie on the analog plane.
The AD5750/AD5750-1/AD5750-2 should have ample supply
bypassing of 10 µF in parallel with 0.1 µF on each supply located
as close to the package as possible, ideally right up against the
device. The 10 µF capacitors are the tantalum bead type. The
0.1 µF capacitor should have low effective series resistance
(ESR) and low effective series inductance (ESI) such as the
common ceramic types, which provide a low impedance path to
ground at high frequencies to handle transient currents due to
internal logic switching.
In systems where there are many devices on one board, it is often
useful to provide some heat sinking capability to allow the power
to dissipate easily.
The AD5750/AD5750-1/AD5750-2 have an exposed paddle
beneath the device. Connect this paddle to the AVSS supply of
the part. For optimum performance, use special considerations to
design the motherboard and to mount the package. For enhanced
thermal, electrical, and board level performance, solder the
exposed paddle on the bottom of the package to the corresponding
thermal land paddle on the PCB. Design thermal vias into the
PCB land paddle area to further improve heat dissipation.
The AVSS plane on the device can be increased (as shown in
Figure 57) to provide a natural heat sinking effect.
