12-Bit, Multiplying D/A Converter
Description
The AD7541 is a monolithic, low cost, high performance, 12-bit accurate, multiplying digital-to-analog converter (DAC). Intersil' wafer level laser-trimmed thin-film resistors on CMOS circuitry provide true 12-bit linearity with TTL/CMOS compatible operation. Special tabbed-resistor geometries (improving time stability), full input protection from damage due to static discharge by diode clamps to V+ and ground, large IOUT1 and IOUT2 bus lines (improving superposition errors) are some of the features offered by Intersil AD7541. Pin compatible with AD7521, this DAC provides accurate four quadrant multiplication over the full military temperature range.

Definition of Terms
Nonlinearity: Error contributed by deviation of the DAC transfer function from a "best fit straight line" function. Normally expressed as a percentage of full scale range. For a multiplying DAC, this should hold true over the entire VREF range. Resolution: Value of the LSB. For example, a unipolar converter with n bits has a resolution of LSB = (VREF)/2-N. A bipolar converter of n bits has a resolution of LSB = (VREF)/2-(N-1). Resolution in no way implies linearity. Settling Time: Time required for the output function of the DAC to settle to within 1/2 LSB for a given digital input stimulus, i.e., 0 to Full Scale. Gain Error: Ratio of the DAC's operational amplifier output voltage to the nominal input voltage value. Feedthrough Error: Error caused by capacitive coupling from VREF to output with all switches OFF. Output Capacitance: Capacitance from IOUT1 , and IOUT2 terminals to ground. Output Leakage Current: Current which appears on IOUT1, terminal when all digital inputs are LOW or on IOUT2 terminal when all inputs are HIGH.
Detailed Description
The AD7541 is a 12-bit, monolithic, multiplying D/A converter. A highly stable thin film R-2R resistor ladder network and NMOS SPDT switches form the basis of the converter circuit. CMOS level shifters provide low power TTL/CMOS compatible operation. An external voltage or current reference and an operational amplifier are all that is required for most voltage output applications. A simplified equivalent circuit of the DAC is shown on page 1, (Functional Diagram). The NMOS SPDT switches steer the ladder leg currents between IOUT1 and IOUT2 buses which must be held at ground potential. This configuration maintains a constant current in each ladder leg independent of the input code. Converter errors are further eliminated by using wider metal interconnections between the major bits and the outputs. Use of high threshold switches reduces the offset (leakage) errors to a negligible level. Each circuit is laser-trimmed, at the wafer level, to better than 12-bits linearity. For the first four bits of the ladder, special trim-tabbed geometries are used to keep the body of the resistors, carrying the majority of the output current, undisturbed. The resultant time stability of the trimmed circuits is comparable to that of untrimmed units. The level shifter circuits are comprised of three inverters with a positive feedback from the output of the second to first (Figure 1). This configuration results in TTL/COMS compatible operation over the full military temperature range. With the ladder SPDT switches driven by the level shifter, each switch is binary weighted for an "ON" resistance proportional to the respective ladder leg current. This assures a constant voltage drop across each switch, creating equipotential terminations for the 2R ladder resistor, resulting in accurate leg currents.

Typical Applications
General Recommendations Static performance of the AD7541 depends on IOUT1 and IOUT2 (pin 1 and pin 2) potentials being exactly equal to GND (pin 3). The output amplifier should be selected to have a low input bias current (typically less than 75nA), and a low drift (depending on the temperature range). The voltage offset of the amplifier should be nulled (typically less than 200V). The bias current compensation resistor in the amplifier's non-inverting input can cause a variable offset. Non-inverting input should be connected to GND with a low resistance wire. Ground-loops must be avoided by taking all pins going to GND to a common point, using separate connections. The V+ (pin 18) power supply should have a low noise level and should not have any transients exceeding +17V. Unused digital inputs must be connected to GND or VDD for proper operation. A high value resistor (~1M) can be used to prevent static charge accumulation, when the inputs are open-circuited for any reason. When gain adjustment is required, low tempco (approximately 50ppm/oC) resistors or trim-pots should be selected.
Zero Offset Adjustment 1. Connect all digital inputs to GND. 2. Adjust the offset zero adjust trimpot of the output operational amplifier for 0V 0.5mV (Max) at VOUT . Gain Adjustment 1. Connect all digital inputs to VDD . 2. Monitor VOUT for a -VREF (11/212) reading. 3. To increase VOUT , connect a series resistor, (0 to 250), in the IOUT1 amplifier feedback loop. 4. To decrease VOUT , connect a series resistor, (0 to 250), between the reference voltage and the VREF terminal.

Unipolar Binary Operation
The circuit configuration for operating the AD7541 in unipolar mode is shown in Figure 2. With positive and negative VREF values the circuit is capable of 2-Quadrant multiplication. The "Digital Input Code/Analog Output Value" table for unipolar mode is given in Table 1. A Schottky diode (HP5082-2811 or equivalent) prevents IOUT1 from negative excursions which could damage the device. This precaution is only necessary with certain high speed amplifiers.
Bipolar (Offset Binary) Operation
The circuit configuration for operating the AD7541 in the bipolar mode is given in Figure 3. Using offset binary digital input codes and positive and negative reference voltage values Four-Quadrant multiplication can be realized. The "Digital Input Code/Analog Output Value" table for bipolar mode is given in Table 2.

AD7541
A "Logic 1" input at any digital input forces the corresponding ladder switch to steer the bit current to IOUT1 bus. A "Logic 0" input forces the bit current to IOUT2 bus. For any code the IOUT1 and IOUT2 bus currents are complements of one another. The current amplifier at IOUT2 changes the polarity of IOUT2 current and the transconductance amplifier at IOUT1 output sums the two currents. This configuration doubles the output range of the DAC. The difference current resulting at zero offset binary code, (MSB = "Logic 1", All other bits = "Logic 0"), is corrected by using an external resistive divider, from VREF to IOUT2 . Offset Adjustment 1. Adjust VREF to approximately +10V. 2. Set R4 to zero. 3. Connect all digital inputs to "Logic 1". 4. Adjust IOUT1 amplifier offset zero adjust trimpot for 0V 0.1mV at IOUT2 amplifier output. 5. Connect a short circuit across R2. 6. Connect all digital inputs to "Logic 0". 7. Adjust IOUT2 amplifier offset zero adjust trimpot for 0V 0.1mV at IOUT1 amplifier output. 8. Remove short circuit across R2. 9. Connect MSB (Bit 1) to "Logic 1" and all other bits to "Logic 0". 10. Adjust R4 for 0V 0.2mV at VOUT .

Dynamic Performance
The dynamic performance of the DAC, also depends on the output amplifier selection. For low speed or static applications, AC specifications of the amplifier are not very critical. For high-speed applications slew-rate, settling-time, openloop gain and gain/phase-margin specifications of the amplifier should be selected for the desired performance. The output impedance of the AD7541 looking into IOUT1 varies between 10k (RFEEDBACK alone) and 5k (RFEED-BACK in parallel with the ladder resistance). Similarly the output capacitance varies between the minimum and the maximum values depending on the input code. These variations necessitate the use of compensation capacitors, when high speed amplifiers are used. A capacitor in parallel with the feedback resistor (as shown in Figure 10) provides the necessary phase compensation to critically damp the output. A small capacitor connected to the compensation pin of the amplifier may be required for unstable situations causing oscillations. Careful PC board layout, minimizing parasitic capacitances, is also vital.
