Description
The CS4373A is a high-performance, differential output
digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with programmab le attenuation and multiple operational modes. AC test
modes measure system dynamic performance through
THD and CMRR tests while DC test modes are for gain
calibration and pulse tests.
The CS4373A is driven by a ∆Σ digital bit stream from the
CS5376A digital filter test bit stream (TBS) generator. It
has two sets of differential analog outputs, OUT and
BUF, to simplify system design as dedicated outputs for
testing the electronics channel and for in-circuit sensor
tests. Analog output attenuation is selected by simple pin
settings and matches the gain of the
CS3301A / CS3302A differential amplifiers for full-scale
testing at all gain ranges.
The CS4373A test DAC provides self-test and precision
calibration capability for high-resolution, low-frequency
multi-channel measurement systems designed from
CS3301A / CS3302A differential amplifiers,
CS5371A / CS5372A ∆Σ m odulators and the CS5376A
digital filter.
Notes: 1. VA- must always be the most-negative input voltage to avoid potential SCR latch-up conditions.
2. By design, a 2.500 V voltage reference input results in the best signal-to-noise performance.
3. Full-scale accuracy is directly proportional to the voltage reference absolute accuracy.
4. VREF inputs must satisfy: VA- <

Notes: 10. Maximum amplitude for operation above 100 Hz. A reduced amplitude for h igher frequencies is required
to guarantee stability of the low-power delta-sigma architecture.
11. Full-scale accuracy compares the defined full-scale 1/1 amplitude to the measured 1/1 amplitude.
Specification is for unloaded outputs. Applying a differential load lowers the output amplitude ratiometric
to the differential output impedance.
12. Relative accuracy compares the measured 1/2,1/4,1/8,1/16,1/3 2, 1/ 64 amp litu d e to th e me a su re d 1/1
amplitude.
13. Common mode voltage is defined as [(SIG+) + (SIG-)] / 2.
14. Specification is for the parameter over the specified temperature range and is for the device only. It does
not include the effects of external comp o nents.
