GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7392/AD7393 family of 10- and 12-bit voltage-output
digital-to-analog converters is designed to operate from a single
+3 V supply. Built using a CBCMOS process, these monolithic
DACs offer the user low cost and ease of use in single-supply
+3 V systems. Operation is guaranteed over the supply voltage
range of +2.7 V to +5.5 V, making this device ideal for battery
operated applications.
The full-scale voltage output is determined by the external
reference input voltage applied. The rail-to-rail REF
DAC
supply V
allows for a full-scale voltage set equal to the positive
OUT
or any value in between. The voltage outputs are
DD
capable of sourcing 5 mA.
A 12-bit wide data latch loads with a 45 ns write time allowing
interface to the fastest processors without wait states.

OPERATION
The AD7392 and AD7393 comprise a set of pin compatible,
12-bit/10-bit digital-to-analog converters. These single-supply
operation devices consume less than 100 microamps of current
while operating from power supplies in the +2.7 V to +5.5 V
range making them ideal for battery operated applications. They
contain a voltage-switched, 12-bit/10-bit, laser-trimmed digitalto-analog converter, rail-to-rail output op amps, and a parallelinput DAC register. The external reference input has constant
input resistance independent of the digital code setting of the
DAC. In addition, the reference input can be tied to the same
supply voltage as V
span of 0 to V
DD
, resulting in a maximum output voltage
DD
. The parallel data interface consists of 12 data
bits, DB0–DB11, for the AD7392; 10 data bits, DB0–DB9, for
the AD7393; and a CS write strobe. A RS pin is available to
reset the DAC register to zero scale. This function is useful for
power-on reset or system failure recovery to a known state.
Additional power savings are accomplished by activating the
SHDN pin, resulting in a 1.5 µA maximum consumption sleep
mode. As long as the supply voltage remains, data will be retained in the DAC register to reset the DAC output when the
part is taken out of shutdown (SHDN = 1).

AMPLIFIER SECTION
The internal DAC’s output is buffered by a low power con-
sumption precision amplifier. The op amp has a 60 µs typical
settling time to 0.1% of full scale. There are slight differences in
settling time for negative slewing signals versus positive. Also,
negative transition settling-time to within the last 6 LSBs of
zero volts has an extended settling time. The rail-to-rail output
stage of this amplifier has been designed to provide precision
performance while operating near either power supply. Figure
25 shows an equivalent output schematic of the rail-to-railamplifier with its N-channel pull-down FETs that will pull an
output load directly to GND. The output sourcing current is
provided by a P-channel pull-up device that can source current
to GND terminated loads.

Figure 25. Equivalent Analog Output Circuit
The rail-to-rail output stage provides ±1 mA of output current.
The N-channel output pull-down MOSFET, shown in Figure
25, has a 35 Ω ON resistance that sets the sink current capability
near ground. In addition to resistive load driving capability, the
amplifier also has been carefully designed and characterized for
up to 100 pF capacitive load driving capability.
REFERENCE INPUT
The reference input terminal has a constant input resistance
independent of digital code, which results in reduced glitches
on the external reference voltage source. The high 2.5 MΩ
input-resistance minimizes power dissipation within the
AD7392/AD7393 D/A converters. The V
input accepts
REF
input voltages ranging from ground to the positive-supply voltage V
. One of the simplest applications that saves an external
DD
reference voltage source is connection of the REF terminal to
the positive V
supply. This connection results in a rail-to-rail
DD
voltage output span maximizing the programmed range. The
reference input will accept ac signals as long as they are kept
within the supply voltage range, 0 < V
< VDD. The refer-
REF IN
ence bandwidth and integral nonlinearity error performance are
plotted in the typical performance section (see Figures 20 and
21). The ratiometric reference feature makes the AD7392/
AD7393 an ideal companion to ratiometric analog-to-digital
converters such as the AD7896.
POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING AND GROUNDING
Precision analog products, such as the AD7392/AD7393, require a
well filtered power source. Since the AD7392/AD7393 operate from a single +3 V to +5 V supply, it seems convenient to
simply tap into the digital logic power supply. Unfortunately,
the logic supply is often a switch-mode design, which generates
noise in the 20 kHz to 1 MHz range. In addition, fast logic gates
can generate glitches of hundreds of millivolts in amplitude due
to wiring resistance and inductance. The power supply noise
generated as a result means that special care must be taken to
assure that the inherent precision of the DAC is maintained.
Good engineering judgment should be exercised when addressing the power supply grounding and bypassing of the AD7392.
The AD7392 should be powered directly from the system power
supply. This arrangement, shown in Figure 26, employs an LC
filter and separate power and ground connections to isolate the
analog section from the logic switching transients.
Figure 26. Use Separate Traces to Reduce Power Supply
Noise
Whether or not a separate power supply trace is available, generous supply bypassing will reduce supply line induced errors.
Local supply bypassing, consisting of a 10 µF tantalum electro-
lytic in parallel with a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor, is recom-
mended in all applications (Figure 27).

POWER SUPPLY
The very low power consumption of the AD7392/AD7393 is a
direct result of a circuit design optimizing the use of a CBCMOS
process. By using the low power characteristics of CMOS for
the logic and the low noise, tight-matching of the complementary bipolar transistors, excellent analog accuracy is achieved.
One advantage of the rail-to-rail output amplifiers used in the
AD7392/AD7393 is the wide range of usable supply voltage.
The part is fully specified and tested for operation from +2.7 V
to +5.5 V.

INPUT LOGIC LEVELS
All digital inputs are protected with a Zener-type ESD protection structure (Figure 28) that allows logic input voltages to
exceed the V
supply voltage. This feature can be useful if the
DD
user is driving one or more of the digital inputs with a 5 V
CMOS logic input-voltage level while operating the AD7392/
AD7393 on a +3 V power supply. If this mode of interface is
used, make sure that the V
of the 5 V CMOS meets the V
OL
IL
input requirement of the AD7392/AD7393 operating at 3 V.
See Figure 12 for a graph for digital logic input threshold versus
operating V
supply voltage.

Figure 28. Equivalent Digital Input ESD Protection
In order to minimize power dissipation from input-logic levels
that are near the V
and VIL logic input voltage specifications, a
IH
Schmitt trigger design was used that minimizes the input-buffer
current consumption compared to traditional CMOS input
stages. Figure 11 shows a plot of incremental input voltage
versus supply current, showing that negligible current consumption takes place when logic levels are in their quiescent state.
The normal cross over current still occurs during logic transitions. A secondary advantage of this Schmitt trigger is the prevention of false triggers that would occur with slow moving logic
transitions when a standard CMOS logic interface or optoisolators are used. The logic inputs DB11–DB0, CS, RS, SHDN
all contain the Schmitt trigger circuits.
DIGITAL INTERFACE
The AD7392/AD7393 have a parallel data input. A functional
block diagram of the digital section is shown in Figure 4, while
Table I contains the truth table for the logic control inputs.
The chip select (CS) pin controls loading of data from the data
inputs on pins DB11–DB0. This active low input places the
input register into a transparent state allowing the data inputs to
directly change the DAC ladder values. When CS returns to
logic high within the data setup and hold time specifications, the
new value of data in the input-register will be latched. See Truth
Table for complete set of conditions.
RESET (RS) PIN
Forcing the asynchronous RS pin low will set the DAC register
to all zeros and the DAC output voltage will be zero volts. The
reset function is useful for setting the DAC outputs to zero at
power-up or after a power supply interruption. Test systems and
motor controllers are two of many applications that benefit from
powering up to a known state. The external reset pulse can be
generated by the microprocessor’s power-on RESET signal, by
an output from the microprocessor or by an external resistor
and capacitor. RESET has a Schmitt trigger input which results
in a clean reset function when using external resistor/capacitor
generated pulses. See the Control-Logic Truth Table I.
POWER SHUTDOWN (SHDN)
Maximum power savings can be achieved by using the power
shutdown control function. This hardware activated feature is
controlled by the active low input SHDN pin. This pin has a
Schmitt trigger input that helps desensitize it to slowly changing
inputs. By placing a logic low on this pin, the internal consumption of the AD7392 or AD7393 is reduced to nanoamp levels,
guaranteed to 1.5 µA maximum over the operating temperature
range. If power is present at all times on the V
pin while in
DD
the shutdown mode, the internal DAC register will retain the
last programmed data value. The digital interface is still active
in shutdown, so that code changes can be made that will produce new DAC settings when the device is taken out of shutdown. This data will be used when the part is returned to the
normal active state by placing the DAC back to its programmed
voltage setting. Figure 23 shows a plot of shutdown recovery
time with both I
DD
and V
displayed. In the shutdown state
OUT
the DAC output amplifier exhibits an open-circuit high resistance state. Any load connected will stabilize at its termination
voltage. If the power shutdown feature is not needed, the user
should tie the SHDN pin to the V
voltage thereby disabling
DD
this function.

The circuit can be configured with an external reference plus
power supply or powered from a single dedicated regulator
or reference depending on the application performance requirements.
BIPOLAR OUTPUT OPERATION
Although the AD7393 has been designed for single-supply operation, the output can be easily configured for bipolar operation. A typical circuit is shown in Figure 30. This circuit uses a
clean regulated +5 V supply for power, which also provides the
circuit’s reference voltage. Since the AD7393 output span swings
from ground to very near +5 V, it is necessary to choose an external amplifier with a common-mode input voltage range that
extends to its positive supply rail. The micropower consumption OP196 has been designed just for this purpose and results
in only 50 microamps of maximum current consumption. Con-
nection of the equal valued 470 kΩ resistors results in a differen-
tial amplifier mode of operation with a voltage gain of two,
which produces a circuit output span of ten volts (that is, –5 V
to +5 V). As the DAC is programmed from zero-code 000
to
H
midscale 200H to full scale 3FFH, the circuit output voltage V
O
is set at –5 V, 0 V and +5 V (minus 1 LSB). The output voltage
is coded in offset binary according to Equation 4.

Equation 4
where D is the decimal code loaded in the AD7393 DAC register. Note that the LSB step size is 10/1024 = 10 mV. This circuit has been optimized for micropower consumption including
the 470 kΩ gain setting resistors, which should have low tem-
perature coefficients to maintain accuracy and matching (preferably the same resistor material, such as metal film). If better
stability is required, the power supply could be substituted with
a precision reference voltage such as the low drop out REF195,
which can easily supply the circuit’s 162 µA of current, and still
provide additional power for the load connected to V
. The
O
micropower REF195 is guaranteed to source 10 mA output
drive current, but only consumes 50 µA internally. If higher
resolution is required, the AD7392 can be used with the addition of two more bits of data inserted into the software coding,
which would result in a 2.5 mV LSB step size. Table III shows
