PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The AD394 contains four 12-bit, high-speed, low power, voltage output, multiplying digital-to-analog converters in a compact 28-pin hybrid package. The design is based on a proprietary, latched, 12-bit, CMOS DAC chip, which reduces chip count and provides high reliability. The AD394 is ideal for systems requiring digital control of many analog voltages where board space is at a premium and low power consumption is a necessity. Such applications include automatic test equipment, process controllers, and vector stroke displays.

AD394

The AD394 is laser-trimmed to ±1/2 LSB maximum differential and integral linearity (AD394T) and full-scale accuracy of ±0.05 percent at 25°C. The high initial accuracy is possible because of the use of precision, laser-trimmed, thin-film scaling resistors.

The individual DAC registers are accessed by the CS4

control pins. These control signals allow any combination

through

of the DAC select matrix to occur (see Table 3). Once selected, the DAC is loaded with a single 12-bit wide word. The 12-bit parallel digital input interfaces to most 12- and 16-bit bus systems.

ESD 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 this product 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.

Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only and functional operation at or above this specification is not implied. Exposure to above maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

MIL-STD-883

The rigors of the military and aerospace environment, temperature extremes, humidity, mechanical stress, etc., demand the utmost in electronic circuits. The AD394, with the inherent reliability of an integrated circuit construction, was designed with these applications in mind. The hermetically-sealed, low profile DIP package takes up a fraction of the space required by equivalent modular designs and protects the chips from hazardous environments. To further insure reliability, the AD394 is fully compliant to MIL-STD-833 Class B, Method

THEORY OF OPERATION

The AD394 quad DAC provides four-quadrant multiplication. It is a hybrid IC comprised of four, monolithic, 12-bit, CMOS, multiplying DACs and eight precision output amplifiers. Each of the four independent-buffered channels has an independent reference input capable of accepting a separate dc or ac signal for multiplying or for function generation applications. The CMOS DACs act as digitally programmable attenuators when used with a varying input signal or, if used with a fixed dc reference, the DAC would act as a standard bipolar output DAC. In addition, each DAC has a 12-bit wide data latch to buffer the converter when connected to a microprocessor data bus.

Figure 5 shows the transfer function. The diagram indicates an area over which many different combinations of the reference input and digital input can result in a particular analog output voltage. The highlighted transfer line in the diagram indicates the transfer function if a fixed reference is at the input. The digital code above the diagram indicates the midpoint and endpoints of each function. The relationship between the reference input (V output is given in Table 4. Note that the reference input signal sets the slope of the transfer function (and determines the fullscale output at code 111...111), while the digital input selects the horizontal position in each diagram.

TIMING

The AD394 control signal timing is very straightforward. CS4

must maintain a minimum pulse width of at least 400 ns for a desired operation to occur. When loading data from a bus into a 12-bit wide data latch, the data must be stable for at least 210 ns before returning CS to a high state. When

data latch is transparent, allowing the data at the input to propagate through to the DAC. Data can change immediately after the chip select returns high. DAC settling time is measured from the falling edge of the active chip select.

the DAC outputs are accurately developed between the output pin and Pin 23 (AGND), delivering these signals to remote loads can be a problem. These problems are compounded if a current booster stage is used, or if multiple packages are used. Figure 8 illustrates the parasitic impedances that influence output accuracy.

Figure 7. Recommended Ground Connections

Figure 6. Timing Diagram

ANALOG CIRCUIT DETAILS

Grounding Rules

The AD394 includes two ground connections to minimize system accuracy degradation arising from grounding errors. The two ground pins are designated DGND (Pin 17) and AGND (Pin 23). The DGND pin is the return for the supply current and serves as the reference point for the digital input thresholds. Thus, DGND should be connected to the same ground as the circuitry that drives the digital inputs.

Pin 23, AGND, is a high quality analog ground connection. This pin should serve as the reference point for all analog circuitry associated with the AD394. It is recommended that any analog signal path carrying significant currents have its own return connection to Pin 23, as shown in Figure 7.

Several complications arise in practical systems, particularly if the load is referred to a remote ground. These complications include dc gain errors due to wiring resistance between DAC and load, noise due to currents from other circuits flowing in power ground return impedances, and offsets due to multiple load currents sharing the same signal ground returns. While

Figure 8. Grounding Errors in Multiple AD394 Systems

An output buffer configured as a subtracter, as shown in Figure 9, can greatly reduce these errors. First, sensing the voltage directly at the load with R4 eliminates the effects of voltage drops in wiring resistance. Second, sensing the remote ground directly with R3 eliminates the voltage drops caused by currents flowing through Z

. Resistors R1 through R4 should

be well matched to achieve maximum rejection of the voltage appearing across Z

. Resistors matched to within 1 percent

(including the effects of RW2 and RW3) reduce ground interaction errors by a factor of 100.

AD394

The AD2710 is a suitable reference source for such systems. It features a guaranteed maximum temperature coefficient of ±1 ppm/°C. The combination of the AD2710LN and AD394, as shown in Figure 11, yields a multiple DAC system with maximum full-scale drift of ±6 ppm/°C and excellent tracking.

Figure 9. Use of Subtracter Amplifier to Preserve Accuracy

OPERATION FROM ±12 V SUPPLIES

The AD394 may be used with ±12 V ±5% power supplies if certain conditions are met. The most important limitation is the output swing available from the output op amps. These amplifiers are capable of swinging only up to 3 V from either supply. Thus, the normal ±10 V output range cannot be used. Changing the output scale is accomplished by changing the reference voltage. With a supply of ±11.4 V (5% less than ±12 V), the output range is restricted to a maximum ±8.4 V swing. It may be useful to scale the output at ±8.192 V (yielding a scale factor of 4 mV per LSB).

Figure 10 shows a suggested circuit to set up a ±8.192 V output range. To help prevent poor gain drift due to a possible mismatch between R

and R

POWER SUPPLY DECOUPLING

The power supplies used with the AD394 should be well-filtered and regulated. Local supply decoupling consisting of a 10 µF tantalum capacitor in parallel with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor is suggested. The decoupling capacitors should be connected between the supply pins and the AGND pin. If an output booster is used, its supplies should also be decoupled to the load ground.

APPLICATIONS

Interfacing the AD394 to Microprocessors

The AD394 control logic provides a simple interface to microprocessors. The individual latches allow for multi-DAC interfacing to a single data bus.

16-Bit Processors

The AD394 is a 12-bit resolution DAC system and is easily interfaced to 16-bit wide data buses. Several possible addressing configurations exist.

In the circuit shown in Figure 12, a system write signal is used to control the decoded address lines and a 74LS139 decoder driven from the least significant address bits provides the

through address lines A0 and A1 each select a single DAC of the four contained in the AD394. The use of a separate address line for each DAC allows several DACs to be accessed simultaneously. The address lines are gated by the simultaneous occurrence of a

system

and the appropriately decoded base address.

In the addressing scheme shown in Figure 12, A0 represents the least significant word address bit. Data may reside in either the 12 MSBs (left-justified) or the 12 LSBs (right-justified). Left justification is useful when the data-word represents a binary fraction of full scale, while right-justified data usually represents an integer value between 0 and 4095.

8-Bit Processors

The circuit of Figure 13 shows the general principles for connecting the AD394 to an 8-bit data bus. The 74LS244 buffers the data bus; its outputs are enabled when the DAC address appears on the address bus. The first byte sent to the DAC is loaded to the 74LS373 octal latch and, when the second byte is sent to the DAC, it is combined with the first byte to create a 12-bit word. The connections shown are for right-hand justified

data. active, the DAC is loaded. Pull-up resistors at the output of the 74LS244 buffer ensure that the inputs to the DAC do not float at an ill-defined level when the DAC is not being addressed. This method of connecting 12-bit DACs to an 8-bit data bus is most cost effective when multiple DACs are utilized for 8-bit data bus applications.

and WR inputs to the DAC are also gated, and when

the ADC function since the processor can perform the required digital operations under software control. A suitable circuit is shown in Figure 14. The AD311 comparator compares the unknown input voltage to one of the AD394 outputs for the analog-to-digital conversion, while the other three outputs are used as normal DACs. The diode clamp shown limits the voltage swing at the comparator input and improves conversion speed. With careful layout, a new compar-ison can be performed in less than 15 µs, resulting in a 12-bit successive approximation conversion in under 180 µs. The benefit of using the AD394 in this application is that one ADC and three DACs can be implemented with only two IC packages (the AD394 and the comparator).

Figure 13. 8-Bit Data Bus Interface

APPLICATIONS

The functional density of the AD394 permits complex analog functions to be produced under digital control, where board space requirements would otherwise be prohibitive. Multipleoutput plotters, multichannel displays, complex waveform generation, and multiple programmable voltage sources can all be implemented with the AD394 in a fraction of the space that would be needed if separate DACs were used.

Using the AD394 for Analog-to-Digital Conversion

Many systems require both analog output and analog input capability. While complete integrated circuit analog-to-digital converters (such as the AD574A) are readily available, the AD394 can be used as the precision analog section of an ADC if some external logic is available. Several types of analog-todigital converters can be built with a DAC, comparator, and control logic, including staircase, tracking, and successiveapproximation types. In systems that include a micropro-cessor, only a comparator must be added to the AD394 to accomplish

Figure 14. Using One AD394 Output for A/D Conversion

Programmable Window Comparator

The AD394 can be used to perform limit testing of responses to digitally controlled input signals. For example, two DACs may be used to generate software-controlled test conditions for a component or circuit. The response to these input conditions can be either completely converted from analog to digital or simply tested against high and low limits generated by the two DACs in the AD394.

Used in Power-Supply Testing

In the circuit shown in Figure 15, two AD311 voltage comparators are used within the AD394 to test the output of a 5 V power-supply regulator. The AD394 V

output (through an

appropriate current booster) drives the input to the regulator to simulate variations in input voltage. The output of the regulator is applied to Comparators 1 and 2, with their outputs wire-
