GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The LOGDAC® AD7112 is a monolithic dual multiplying D/A
converter featuring wide dynamic range and excellent DAC-toDAC matching. Both DACs can attenuate an analog input signal over the range 0 dB to 88.5 dB in 0.375 dB steps. It is
available in skinny 0.3" wide 20-pin DIPs and in 20-terminal
surface mount packages.
The degree of attenuation in either channel is determined by the
8-bit word applied to the onboard decode logic. This 8-bit word
is decoded into a 17-bit word which is then loaded into one of
the 17-bit data latches, determined by
DACA/DACB. The fine
step resolution over the entire dynamic range is due to the use of
these 17-bit DACs.
The AD7112 is easily interfaced to a standard 8-bit MPU bus
via an 8-bit data port and standard microprocessor control lines.
It should be noted that the AD7112 is exactly pin-compatible
with the AD7528, an industry standard dual 8-bit multiplying
DAC. This allows an easy upgrading of existing AD7528 designs which would benefit both from the wider dynamic range
and the finer step resolution offered by the AD7112.
The AD7112 is fabricated in Linear Compatible CMOS
(LC
2
MOS), an advanced, mixed technology process that com-
bines precision bipolar circuits with low power CMOS logic.
*Protected by U.S. Patent No. 4521764.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. DAC-to-DAC Matching: Since both of the AD7112 DACs
are fabricated at the same time on the same chip, precise
matching and tracking between the two DACs is inherent.
2. Small Package: The AD7112 is available in a 20-pin DIP
and a 20-terminal SOIC package.
3. Fast Microprocessor Interface: The AD7112 has bus interface timing compatible with all modern microprocessors.

*Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause
permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those listed in the
operational sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability. Only
one Absolute Maximum Rating may be applied at any one time.
WARNING!
ESD SENSITIVE DEVICE
CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection.
Although the AD7112 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may
occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD
precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.
TERMINOLOGY
RESOLUTION: Nominal change in attenuation when moving
between two adjacent codes.
MONOTONICITY: The device is monotonic if the analog output decreases or remains constant as the wdigital code increases.
FEEDTHROUGH ERROR: That portion of the input signal
which reaches the output when all digital inputs are high.
OUTPUT CAPACITANCE: Capacitance from OUT A or
OUT B to ground.
GAIN ERROR: Gain error results from a mismatch between
R
FB
(the feedback resistance) and the R-2R ladder resistance.
Its effect in a LOGDAC is to produce a constant additive attenuation error in dB over the whole range of the DAC.
ACCURACY: The difference (measured in dB) between the
ideal transfer function as listed in Table I and the actual transfer function as measured with the device.
DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG GLITCH IMPULSE: The amount
of charge injected from the digital inputs to the analog output
when the inputs change state. This is normally specified as the
area of the glitch in either pA-s or nV-s depending on whether
the glitch is measured as a current or voltage signal. Glitch impulse is measured with V
IN
= AGND.
