On-Chip Latches for Both DACs

DACs Matched to 1%
Four Quadrant Multiplication
TTL/CMOS Compatible
Latch Free (Protection Schottkys not Required)
The AD7528 is a monolithic dual 8-bit digital/analog converter
featuring excellent DAC-to-DAC matching. It is available in
skinny 0.3" wide 20-lead DIPs and in 20-lead surface mount
packages.
Separate on-chip latches are provided for each DAC to allow
easy microprocessor interface.
Data is transferred into either of the two DAC data latches via a
common 8-bit TTL/CMOS compatible input port. Control
input DAC A/DAC B determines which DAC is to be loaded.
The AD7528’s load cycle is similar to the write cycle of a random access memory and the device is bus compatible with most
8-bit microprocessors, including 6800, 8080, 8085, Z80.
The device operates from a +5 V to +15 V power supply, dissipating only 20 mW of power.
Both DACs offer excellent four quadrant multiplication characteristics with a separate reference input and feedback resistor for
each DAC.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. DAC-to-DAC matching: since both of the AD7528 DACs are
fabricated at the same time on the same chip, precise matching and tracking between DAC A and DAC B is inherent.

The AD7528’s matched CMOS DACs make a whole new
range of applications circuits possible, particularly in the
audio, graphics and process control areas.
2. Small package size: combining the inputs to the on-chip DAC
latches into a common data bus and adding a DAC A/DAC B
select line has allowed the AD7528 to be packaged in either a
small 20-lead DIP, SOIC or PLCC.

Relative Accuracy
Relative accuracy or endpoint nonlinearity 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 and full scale and is normally expressed in
LSBs or as a percentage of full scale reading.
Differential Nonlinearity
Differential nonlinearity is the difference between the measured

the operating temperature range ensures monotonicity.

DAC Selection:
Both DAC latches share a common 8-bit input port. The control input DAC A/DAC B selects which DAC can accept data
from the input port.
Mode Selection:
Inputs CS and WR control the operating mode of the selected
DAC. See Mode Selection Table below.
Write Mode:
When CS and WR are both low the selected DAC is in the write
mode. The input data latches of the selected DAC are transparent and its analog output responds to activity on DB0–DB7.
Hold Mode:
The selected DAC latch retains the data which was present on
DB0–DB7 just prior to CS or WR assuming a high state. Both
analog outputs remain at the values corresponding to the data in
their respective latches.

Figure 1. An inverted R-2R ladder structure is used, that is, binary weighted currents are switched between the DAC output
and AGND thus maintaining fixed currents in each ladder leg
independent of switch state.
EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT ANALYSIS
Figure 2 shows an approximate equivalent circuit for one of the
AD7528’s D/A converters, in this case DAC A. A similar
equivalent circuit can be drawn for DAC B. Note that AGND
(Pin 1) is common for both DAC A and DAC B.
The current source I
LEAKAGE
is composed of surface and junc-
tion leakages and, as with most semiconductor devices, approxi-
mately doubles every 10°C. The resistor R
as shown in Figure
O
2 is the equivalent output resistance of the device which varies
with input code (excluding all 0s code) from 0.8 R to 2 R. R is
typically 11 kΩ. C
is the capacitance due to the N-channel
OUT
switches and varies from about 50 pF to 120 pF depending
upon the digital input. g(V
voltage generator due to the reference input voltage V
A, N) is the Thevenin equivalent

the transfer function of the R-2R ladder.

CIRCUIT INFORMATION–DIGITAL SECTION
The input buffers are simple CMOS inverters designed such
that when the AD7528 is operated with V
= 5 V, the buffer
DD
converts TTL input levels (2.4 V and 0.8 V) into CMOS logic
levels. When V
is in the region of 2.0 volts to 3.5 volts the
IN
input buffers operate in their linear region and pass a quiescent
current, see Figure 3. To minimize power supply currents it is
recommended that the digital input voltages be as close to the
supply rails (V
and DGND) as is practically possible.
DD
The AD7528 may be operated with any supply voltage in the
range 5 ≤ V
≤ 15 volts. With V
DD
= +15 V the input logic
DD
levels are CMOS compatible only, i.e., 1.5 V and 13.5 V.
CIRCUIT INFORMATION—D/A SECTION
The AD7528 contains two identical 8-bit multiplying D/A converters, DAC A and DAC B. Each DAC consists of a highly
stable thin film R-2R ladder and eight N-channel current steering switches. A simplified D/A circuit for DAC A is shown in

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Application Hints
To ensure system performance consistent with AD7528 specifications, careful attention must be given to the following points:
1. GENERAL GROUND MANAGEMENT: AC or transient
voltages between the AD7528 AGND and DGND can cause
noise injection into the analog output. The simplest method
of ensuring that voltages at AGND and DGND are equal is
to tie AGND and DGND together at the AD7528. In more
complex systems where the AGND–DGND intertie is on the
backplane, it is recommended that diodes be connected in
inverse parallel between the AD7528 AGND and DGND
pins (1N914 or equivalent).
2. OUTPUT AMPLIFIER OFFSET: CMOS DACs exhibit a
code-dependent output resistance which in turn causes a
code-dependent amplifier noise gain. The effect is a codedependent differential nonlinearity term at the amplifier
output which depends on V
(VOS is amplifier input offset
OS
voltage). This differential nonlinearity term adds to the R/2R
differential nonlinearity. To maintain monotonic operation, it
is recommended that amplifier V
be no greater than 10% of
OS
1 LSB over the temperature range of interest.
3. HIGH FREQUENCY CONSIDERATIONS: The output
capacitance of a CMOS DAC works in conjunction with the
amplifier feedback resistance to add a pole to the open loop
response. This can cause ringing or oscillation. Stability can
be restored by adding a phase compensation capacitor in
parallel with the feedback resistor.
DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
The dynamic performance of the two DACs in the AD7528 will
depend upon the gain and phase characteristics of the output
amplifiers together with the optimum choice of the PC board
layout and decoupling components. Figure 6 shows the relation

Figure 7 shows a printed circuit layout for the AD7528 and the
AD644 dual op amp which minimizes feedthrough and crosstalk.
SINGLE SUPPLY APPLICATIONS
The AD7528 DAC R-2R ladder termination resistors are connected to AGND within the device. This arrangement is particularly convenient for single supply operation because AGND
may be biased at any voltage between DGND and V
. Figure
DD
8 shows a circuit which provides two +5 V to +8 V analog outputs by biasing AGND +5 V up from DGND. The two DAC
reference inputs are tied together and a reference input voltage
is obtained without a buffer amplifier by making use of the
constant and matched impedances of the DAC A and DAC B
reference inputs. Current flows through the two DAC R-2R
ladders into R1 and R1 is adjusted until the V
REF
A and V
REF
B
inputs are at +2 V. The two analog output voltages range from
+5 V to +8 V for DAC codes 00000000 to 11111111.

Figure 9 shows DAC A of the AD7528 connected in a positive
reference, voltage switching mode. This configuration is useful
in that V
operation. However, to retain specified linearity, V
is the same polarity as VIN allowing single supply
