Complete 14-Bit Voltage Output DAC Parallel and Serial Interface Capability 80 dB Signal-to-Noise Ratio
Interfaces to High Speed DSP Processors e.g., ADSP-2100, TMS32010, TMS32020
45 ns min WR Pulse Width Low Power – 70 mW typ. Operates from 65 V Supplies
The AD7840 is a fast, complete 14-bit voltage output D/A converter. It consists of a 14-bit DAC, 3 V buried Zener reference, DAC output amplifier and high speed control logic.
The part features double-buffered interface logic with a 14-bit input latch and 14-bit DAC latch. Data is loaded to the input latch in either of two modes, parallel or serial. This data is then transferred to the DAC latch under control of an asynchronous LDAC signal. A fast data setup time of 21 ns allows direct parallel interfacing to digital signal processors and high speed 16-bit microprocessors. In the serial mode, the maximum serial data clock rate can be as high as 6 MHz.
The analog output from the AD7840 provides a bipolar output range of ±3 V. The AD7840 is fully specified for dynamic performance parameters such as signal-to-noise ratio and harmonic distortion as well as for traditional dc specifications. Full power output signals up to 20 kHz can be created.
The AD7840 is fabricated in linear compatible CMOS (LC2MOS), an advanced, mixed technology process that combines precision bipolar circuits with low power CMOS logic. The part is available in a 24-pin plastic and hermetic dual-in-line package (DIP) and is also packaged in a 28-termi- nal plastic leaded chip carrier (PLCC).

1. Complete 14-Bit D/A Function
The AD7840 provides the complete function for creating ac signals and dc voltages to 14-bit accuracy. The part features an on-chip reference, an output buffer amplifier and 14-bit D/A converter.
2. Dynamic Specifications for DSP Users
In addition to traditional dc specifications, the AD7840 is specified for ac parameters including signal-to-noise ratio and harmonic distortion. These parameters along with important timing parameters are tested on every device.
3. Fast, Versatile Microprocessor Interface
The AD7840 is capable of 14-bit parallel and serial interfacing. In the parallel mode, data setup times of 21 ns and write pulse widths of 45 ns make the AD7840 compatible with modern 16-bit microprocessors and digital signal processors. In the serial mode, the part features a high data transfer rate of 6 MHz.

2N = Plastic DIP; P = Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier; Q = Cerdip. 3This grade will be available to /883B processing only.
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 AD7840 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.

PIN CONFIGURATIONS |
DIP/SSOP |
PLCC |
The AD7840 contains a 14-bit voltage mode D/A converter consisting of highly stable thin film resistors and high speed NMOS single-pole, double-throw switches. The simplified circuit diagram for the DAC section is shown in Figure 1. The three MSBs of the data word are decoded to drive the seven switches A–G. The 11 LSBs switch an 11-bit R-2R ladder structure. The output voltage from this converter has the same polarity as the reference voltage, REF IN.
The REF IN voltage is internally buffered by a unity gain amplifier before being applied to the D/A converter and the bipolar bias circuitry. The D/A converter is configured and sealed for a 3 V reference and the device is tested with 3 V applied to REF IN. Operating the AD7840 at reference voltages outside the
±5% tolerance range may result in degraded performance from the part.
Figure 1. DAC Ladder Structure
The AD7840 has an on-chip temperature compensated buried Zener reference (see Figure 2) which is factory trimmed to 3 V
±10 mV. The reference voltage is provided at the REF OUT pin. This reference can be used to provide both the reference voltage for the D/A converter and the bipolar bias circuitry. This is achieved by connecting the REF OUT pin to the REF IN pin of the device.
The reference voltage can also be used as a reference for other components and is capable of providing up to 500 μA to an external load. The maximum recommended capacitance on REF OUT for normal operation is 50 pF. If the reference is required
for external use, it should he decoupled to AGND with a 200 Ω resistor in series with a parallel combination of a 10 μF tantalum capacitor and a 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor.
Figure 2. Internal Reference
In some applications, the user may require a system reference or some other external reference to drive the AD7840 reference input. Figure 3 shows how the AD586 5 V reference can be conditioned to provide the 3 V reference required by the AD7840 REF IN. An alternate source of reference voltage for the AD7840 in systems which use both a DAC and an ADC is to use the REF OUT voltage of ADCs such as the AD7870 and AD7871. A circuit showing this arrangement is shown in Figure 20.
