GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7834 and AD7835 contain four 14-bit DACs on one
monolithic chip. The AD7834 and AD7835 have output
voltages in the range ±8.192 V with a maximum span of 14 V.
The AD7834 is a serial input device. Data is loaded in 16-bit
format from the external serial bus, MSB first after two leading 0s,
Quad 14-Bit DACs
AD7834/AD7835
into one via DIN, SCLK, and
dedicated package address pins, PA0 to PA4, that can be wired
to AGND or V
to permit up to 32 AD7834s to be individually
CC
addressed in a multipackage application.
The AD7835 can accept either 14-bit parallel loading or doublebyte loading, where right-justified data is loaded in one 8-bit
byte and one 6-bit byte. Data is loaded from the external bus
into one of the input latches under the control of the
BYSHF
, and DAC channel address pins, A0 to A2.
With each device, the
DAC outputs simultaneously, or individually, on reception of
new data. In addition, for each device, the asynchronous
input can be used to set all signal outputs, V
the user-defined voltage level on the device sense ground pin,
DSG. On power-on, before the power supplies have stabilized,
internal circuitry holds the DAC output voltage levels to within
±2 V of the DSG potential. As the supplies stabilize, the DAC
output levels move to the exact DSG potential (assuming
exercised).
The AD7834 is available in a 28-lead 0.3" SOIC package and a
28-lead 0.6" PDIP package, and the AD7835 is available in a
44-lead MQFP package and a 44-lead PLCC package.

TERMINOLOGY
Relative Accuracy
Relative accuracy or endpoint linearity is a measure of the
maximum deviation from a straight line passing through the
endpoints of the DAC transfer function. It is measured after
adjusting for zero error and full-scale error. It is normally
expressed in LSBs or as a percentage of full-scale reading.
Differential Nonlinearity
Differential nonlinearity is the difference between the measured
change and the ideal 1 LSB change between any two adjacent
codes. A specified differential nonlinearity of 1 LSB maximum
ensures monotonicity.
DC Crosstalk
Although the common input reference (IR) voltage signals are
internally buffered, small IR drops in individual DAC reference
inputs across the die mean that an update to one channel
produces a dc output change in one or more channel outputs.
The four DAC outputs are buffered by op amps sharing
common V
and VSS power supplies. If the dc load current
DD
changes in one channel due to an update, a further dc change
occurs in one or more of the channel outputs. This effect is
most obvious at high load currents and is reduced as the load
currents are reduced. With high impedance loads, the effect is
virtually unmeasurable.
Output Voltage Settling Time
This is the amount of time it takes for the output to settle to a
specified level for a full-scale input change.
Digital-to-Analog Glitch Impulse
This is the amount of charge injected into the analog output
when the inputs change state. It is specified as the area of the
glitch in nV-secs. It is measured with the reference inputs
connected to 0 V and the digital inputs toggled between all
1s and all 0s.
Channel-to-Channel Isolation
Channel-to-channel isolation refers to the proportion of input
signal from the reference input of one DAC that appears at the
output of the other DAC. It is expressed in decibels (dB). The
AD7834 has no specification for channel-to-channel isolation
because it has one reference for all DACs. Channel-to-channel
isolation is specified for the AD7835.
DAC-to-DAC C rosst a l k
DAC-to-DAC crosstalk is defined as the glitch impulse that
appears at the output of one converter due to both the digital
change and the subsequent analog output (O/P) change at
another converter. It is specified in nV-secs.
Digital Crosstalk
The glitch impulse transferred to the output of one converter
due to a change in digital input code to the other converter is
defined as the digital crosstalk and is specified in nV-secs.
Digital Feedthrough
When the device is not selected, high frequency logic activity
on its digital inputs can be capacitively coupled both across and
through the device to show up as noise on the V
pins. This
OUT
noise is digital feedthrough.
DC Output Impedance
DC output impedance is the effective output source resistance.
It is dominated by package lead resistance.
Full-Scale Error
Full-scale error is the error in DAC output voltage when all 1s
are loaded into the DAC latch. Ideally, the output voltage, with
all 1s loaded into the DAC latch, should be V
(+) – 1 LSB.
REF
Full-scale error does not include zero-scale error.
Zero-Scale Error
Zero-scale error is the error in the DAC output voltage when
all 0s are loaded into the DAC latch. Ideally, the output voltage,
with all 0s in the DAC latch, is equal to V
(−). Zero-scale
REF
error is due mainly to offsets in the output amplifier.
Gain Error
Gain error is defined as (full-scale error) − (zero-scale error).

THEORY OF OPERATION
DAC ARCHITECTURE
Each channel consists of a segmented 14-bit R-2R voltage-mode
DAC. The full-scale output voltage range is equal to the entire

REF
The analog output voltage of each DAC channel reflects the
contents of its own DAC latch. Data is transferred from the
external bus to the input register of each DAC latch on a per
channel basis. The AD7835 has a feature whereby the A2 pin
data can be transferred from the input databus to all four input
registers simultaneously.

Data being shifted into the AD7834 enters a 24-bit long shift

Individual bit functions are shown in Figure 18.

D20 and D16 determine the package address. The five address
bits allow up to 32 separate packages to be individually decoded.
Successful decoding is accomplished when these five bits match
up with the five hardwired pins on the physical package.
D15 to D0
D15 and D0 provide DAC data to be loaded into the identified
DAC input register. This data must have two leading 0s followed
by 14 bits of data, MSB first. The MSB is in location D13 of the
24-bit data stream.
DATA LOADING—AD7835 PARALLEL LOADING

Data is loaded into the AD7835 in either straight 14-bit wide

In such a system, the top six pins of the device databus, DB8 to
DB13, must be hardwired to DGND. New low byte data is

new data is loaded to an input register.
To avoid the DAC output going to an intermediate value during
a 2-byte transfer,
LDAC
should not be tied low permanently but
should be held high until the two bytes are written to the input
register. When the selected input register has been loaded with
the two bytes,
LDAC
should then be pulsed low to update the
DAC latch and, consequently, perform the digital-to-analog
conversion.
In many applications, it may be acceptable to allow the DAC
output to go to an intermediate value during a 2-byte transfer.
In such applications,
LDAC
can be tied low, thus using one less
control line.
The actual DAC input register that is being written to is determined by the logic levels present on the device address lines, as
shown in Tab l e 1 1 .

AD7834 TO 80C51 INTERFACE
A serial interface between the AD7834 and the 80C51 microcontroller is shown in
of the AD7834, while RXD drives the serial data line of the part.
The 80C51 provides the LSB of its SBUF register as the first bit
in the serial data stream. The AD7834 expects the MSB of the
24-bit write first. Therefore, the user has to ensure that data in
the SBUF register is arranged correctly so the data is received
MSB first by the AD7834/AD7835. When data is to be transmitted to the part, P3.3 is taken low. Data on RXD is valid on
the falling edge of TXD. The 80C51 transmits its data in 8-bit
bytes with only eight falling clock edges occurring in the transmit cycle. To load data to the AD7834, P3.3 is left low after the
first 8 bits are transferred. A second byte is then transferred,
with P3.3 still kept low. After the third byte has been transferred, the P3.3 line is taken high.

For correct operation of this interface, the 68HC11 should be

other. This ensures a continuous transmit frame synchronization (TFS ) pulse. Second, the first data word is loaded to the
serial port, the subsequent generated interrupt is trapped, and
then the second data word is sent immediately after the first.
Again, this produces a continuous TFS pulse that frames the
24 data bits.

Figure 33 shows how the package address pins of the AD7834
are used to address multiple AD7834s. This figure shows only
10 devices, but up to 32 AD7834s can each be assigned a unique
address by hardwiring each of the package address pins to V
or DGND. Normal operation of the device occurs when
PA EN
CC
is low. When serial data is being written to the AD7834s, only
the device with the same package address as the package address
contained in the serial data accepts data into the input registers.
Conversely, if
PA EN
is high, the package address is ignored, and
the data is loaded into the same channel on each package.
The primary limitation with multiple packages is the output
update rate. For example, if an output update rate of 10 kHz is
required, 100 μs are available to load all DACs. Assuming a
serial clock frequency of 10 MHz, it takes 2.5 μs to load data to
one DAC. Thus, 40 DACs or 10 packages can be updated in this
time. As the update rate requirement decreases, the number of
possible packages increases.

OPTO-ISOLATED INTERFACE
In many process control applications, it is necessary to provide
an isolation barrier between the controller and the unit being
controlled. Opto-isolators can provide voltage isolation in
excess of 3 kV. The serial loading structure of the AD7834
makes it ideal for opto-isolated interfaces because the number
of interface lines is kept to a minimum.
Figure 34 shows a 5-channel isolated interface to the AD7834.
Multiple devices are connected to the outputs of the opto-coupler
and controlled as for serial interfacing. To reduce the number of
opto-isolators, the

line doesn’t need to be controlled if it

line is not controlled by the microcontroller, it should be tied low at each device. If simultaneous updating of the DACs is not required, the

POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING AND GROUNDING
In any circuit where accuracy is important, careful consideration of the power supply and ground return layout helps to
ensure the rated performance. The printed circuit boards on
which the AD7834/AD7835 are mounted should be designed so
the analog and digital sections are separated and confined to
certain areas of the boards. This facilitates the use of ground
planes that can be easily separated. A minimum etch technique
is generally best for ground planes because it gives the best
shielding. Digital and analog ground planes should be joined at
only one place.
If the AD7834/AD7835 are the only devices requiring an AGND
to DGND connection, then the ground planes should be connected
at the AGND and DGND pins of the AD7834/ AD7835. If the
AD7834/AD7835 are in a system where multiple devices require
an AGND to DGND connection, the connection can still be made
at one point only, a star ground point, which can be established as
close as possible to the AD7834/AD7835.
Digital lines running under the device must be avoided because
they couple noise onto the die. The analog ground plane can run
under the AD7834/AD7835 to avoid noise coupling. The power
supply lines of the AD7834/AD7835 can use as large a trace as
possible to provide low impedance paths and reduce the effects of
glitches on the power supply line. Fast switching signals, such as
clocks, should be shielded with digital ground to avoid radiating
noise to other parts of the board. These signals should never be
run near the analog inputs. Avoid crossover of digital and analog
01006-035
signals. Traces on opposite sides of the board should run at right
angles to each other. This reduces the effects of feedthrough
through the board. A microstrip method is best but not always
possible with a double-sided board. With this method, the
component side of the board is dedicated to ground plane while
signal traces are placed on the solder side.
The AD7834/AD7835 must have ample supply bypassing located
as close as possible to the package, ideally right up against the

10 μF in parallel with 0.1 μF on each of the supplies. The 10 μF
capacitors are the tantalum bead type. The 0.1 μF capacitor can
have low effective series resistance (ESR) and 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.
