The DAC714 is a complete monolithic digital-toanalog converter including a +10V temperature compensated reference, current-to-voltage amplifier, a
high-speed synchronous serial interface, a serial output which allows cascading multiple converters, and
an asynchronous clear function which immediately
sets the output voltage to midscale.
The output voltage range is ±10V, ±5V, or 0 to +10V
while operating from ±12V or ±15V supplies. The
gain and bipolar offset adjustments are designed so
that they can be set via external potentiometers or
external D/A converters. The output amplifier is protected against short circuit to ground.
The 16-pin DAC714 is available in a plastic 0.3" DIP,
ceramic 0.3" CERDIP, and wide-body plastic SOIC
package. The DAC714P, U, HB, and HC are specified
over the –40°C to +85°C temperature range while the
DAC714HL is specified over the 0°C to +70°C range.

DISCHARGE SENSITIVITY
Electrostatic discharge can cause damage ranging from performance degradation to complete device failure. BurrBrown Corporation recommends that all integrated circuits
be handled and stored using appropriate ESD protection
methods.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits
may be more susceptible to damage because very small
parametric changes could cause the device not to meet
published specifications.

DISCUSSION OF
SPECIFICATIONS
LINEARITY ERROR
Linearity error is defined as the deviation of the analog
output from a straight line drawn between the end points of
the transfer characteristic.
DIFFERENTIAL LINEARITY ERROR
Differential linearity error (DLE) is the deviation from
1LSB of an output change from one adjacent state to the
next. A DLE specification of ±1/2LSB means that the output
step size can range from 1/2LSB to 3/2LSB when the digital
input code changes from one code word to the adjacent code
word. If the DLE is more positive than –1LSB, the D/A is
said to be monotonic.
MONOTONICITY
A D/A converter is monotonic if the output either increases
or remains the same for increasing digital input values.
Monotonicity of the C and L grades is guaranteed over the
specification temperature range to 16 bits.
SETTLING TIME
Settling time is the total time (including slew time) for the
D/A output to settle to within an error band around its final
value after a change in input. Settling times are specified to
within ±0.003% of Full Scale Range (FSR) for an output
step change of 20V and 1LSB. The 1LSB change is measured at the Major Carry (FFFFH to 0000H, and 0000H to
FFFFH: BTC codes), the input transition at which worst-case
settling time occurs.
TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION
Total harmonic distortion is defined as the ratio of the
square root of the sum of the squares of the values of the
harmonics to the value of the fundamental frequency. It is
expressed in % of the fundamental frequency amplitude at
sampling rate f
SIGNAL-TO-NOISE
AND DISTORTION RATIO (SINAD)
SINAD includes all the harmonic and outstanding spurious
components in the definition of output noise power in
addition to quantizing and internal random noise power.
SINAD is expressed in dB at a specified input frequency and
sampling rate, f
DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG GLITCH IMPULSE
The amount of charge injected into the analog output from
the digital inputs when the inputs change state. It is measured at half scale at the input codes where as many as
possible switches change state—from 0000

H
DIGITAL FEEDTHROUGH
When the A/D is not selected, high frequency logic activity
on the digital inputs is coupled through the device and shows
up as output noise. This noise is digital feedthrough.
OPERATION
The DAC714 is a monolithic integrated-circuit 16-bit D/A
converter complete with 16-bit D/A switches and ladder
network, voltage reference, output amplifier and a serial
interface.
INTERFACE LOGIC
The DAC714 has double-buffered data latches. The input
data latch holds a 16-bit data word before loading it into the
second latch, the D/A latch. This double-buffered organization permits simultaneous update of several D/A converters.
All digital control inputs are active low. Refer to the block
diagram shown in Figure 1.
All latches are level-triggered. Data present when the enable
inputs are logic “0” will enter the latch. When the enable
inputs return to logic “1”, the data is latched.
The CLR input resets both the input latch and the D/A latch
to 0000
LOGIC INPUT COMPATIBILITY
The DAC714 digital inputs are TTL compatible (1.4V switching level), low leakage, and high impedance. Thus the inputs
are suitable for being driven by any type of 5V logic Family,
such as CMOS. An equivalent circuit for the digital inputs
is shown in Figure 2.
The inputs will float to logic “0” if left unconnected. It is
recommended that any unused inputs be connected to DCOM
to improve noise immunity.
Digital inputs remain high impedance when power is off.
INPUT CODING
The DAC714 is designed to accept binary two’s complement (BTC) input codes with the MSB first which are
compatible with bipolar analog output operation. For this
configuration, a digital input of 7FFF
scale output, 8000H produces a minus full scale output, and
0000H produces bipolar zero output.
INTERNAL REFERENCE
The DAC714 contains a +10V reference. The reference
output may be used to drive external loads, sourcing up to
2mA. The load current should be constant, otherwise the
gain and bipolar offset of the converter will vary.

INSTALLATION
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Due to the high-accuracy of the DAC714 system design
problems such as grounding and contact resistance become
very important. A 16-bit converter with a 20V full-scale
range has a 1LSB value of 305µV. With a load current of
5mA, series wiring and connector resistance of only 60mΩ
will cause a voltage drop of 300µV. To understand what this
means in terms of a system layout, the resistivity of a typical
1 ounce copper-clad printed circuit board is 1/2 mΩ per
square. For a 5mA load, a 10 milliinch wide printed circuit
conductor 60 milliinches long will result in a voltage drop of
150µV.
The analog output of DAC714 has an LSB size of 305µV
(–96dB) in the bipolar mode. The rms noise floor of the D/A
should remain below this level in the frequency range of
interest. The DAC714’s output noise spectral density (which
includes the noise contributed by the internal reference,) is
shown in the Typical Performance Curves section.
Wiring to high-resolution D/A converters should be routed
to provide optimum isolation from sources of RFI and EMI.
The key to elimination of RF radiation or pickup is small
loop area. Signal leads and their return conductors should be
kept close together such that they present a small capture
cross-section for any external field. Wire-wrap construction
is not recommended.
POWER SUPPLY AND
REFERENCE CONNECTIONS

shown in Figure 4. Best performance occurs using a 1 to

critical settling time may be able to use 0.01µF at –V
CC
as well as at +VCC. The capacitors should be located
close to the package.
The DAC714 has separate ANALOG COMMON and DIGITAL COMMON pins. The current through DCOM is mostly
switching transients and are up to 1mA peak in amplitude.
The current through ACOM is typically 5µA for all codes.
Use separate analog and digital ground planes with a single
interconnection point to minimize ground loops. The analog
pins are located adjacent to each other to help isolate analog
from digital signals. Analog signals should be routed as far
as possible from digital signals and should cross them at
right angles. A solid analog ground plane around the D/A
package, as well as under it in the vicinity of the analog and
power supply pins, will isolate the D/A from switching
currents. It is recommended that DCOM and ACOM be
connected directly to the ground planes under the package.
If several DAC714s are used or if DAC714 shares supplies
with other components, connecting the ACOM and DCOM
lines to together once at the power supplies rather than at
each chip may give better results.
LOAD CONNECTIONS
Since the reference point for V
OUT
and V
REF OUT
is the
ACOM pin, it is important to connect the D/A converter load
directly to the ACOM pin. Refer to Figure 5.
Lead and contact resistances are represented by R
through
1
R3. As long as the load resistance RL is constant, R1 simply
introduces a gain error and can be removed by gain adjustment of the D/A or system-wide gain calibration. R2 is part
of RL if the output voltage is sensed at ACOM.
In some applications it is impractical to return the load to the
ACOM pin of the D/A converter. Sensing the output voltage
at the SYSTEM GROUND point is reasonable, because there
is no change in DAC714 ACOM current, provided that R
is
3
a low-resistance ground plane or conductor. In this case you
may wish to connect DCOM to SYSTEM GROUND as well.

GAIN AND OFFSET ADJUST
Connections Using Potentiometers
GAIN and OFFSET adjust pins provide for trim using
external potentiometers. 15-turn potentiometers provide sufficient resolution. Range of adjustment of these trims is at
least ±0.3% of Full Scale Range. Refer to Figure 6.
Using D/A Converters
The GAIN ADJUST and OFFSET ADJUST circuits of
the DAC714 have been arranged so that these points may
be easily driven by external D/A converters. Refer to
Figure 7. 12-bit D/A converters provide an OFFSET
adjust resolution and a GAIN adjust resolution of 30µV
to 50µV per LSB step.
Nominal values of GAIN and OFFSET occur when the D/A
converters outputs are at approximately half scale, +5V.
OUTPUT VOLTAGE RANGE CONNECTIONS
The DAC714 output amplifier is connected internally to
provide a 20V output range. For other ranges and configurations, see Figures 6 and 7.
DIGITAL INTERFACE
SERIAL INTERFACE
The DAC714 has a serial interface with two data buffers
which can be used for either synchronous or asynchronous
updating of multiple D/A converters. A0 is the enable control
for the input shift register. A1 is the enable for the D/A Latch.
CLK is used to strobe data into the latches enabled by A0 and
A1. A CLR function is also provided and when enabled it sets
the shift register and the D/A Latch to 0000
is midscale).
Multiple DAC714s can be connected to the same CLK and
data lines in two ways. The output of the serial shift register
is available as SDO so that any number of DAC714s can be
cascaded on the same input bit stream as shown in Figures
8 and 9. This configuration allows all D/A converters to be
updated simultaneously and requires a minimum number of
control signals. These configurations do require 16N CLK
cycles to load any given D/A converter, where N is the
number of D/A converters.
The DAC714 can also be connected in parallel as shown in
Figure 10. This configuration allows any D/A converter in
the system to be updated in a maximum of 16 CLK cycles.
