The ML2340 and ML2350 are CMOS voltage output, 8-bit
D/A converters with an internal voltage reference and a µP
interface. These devices are designed to be powered by a
single supply, although they can be powered from dual
power supplies. The output voltage swings above zero
scale (VZS) in the unipolar mode or around zero scale
(VZS) in the bipolar mode, both with programmable gain.
VZS can be set to any voltage from AGND to 2.25V below
VCC. The digital and analog grounds, DGND and AGND,
are totally independent of each other. DGND can be set to
any voltage from AGND to 4.5V below VCC for easy
interfacing to standard TTL and CMOS logic families.
The high level of integration and versatility of the ML2340
and ML2350 makes them ideal for a wide range of
applications in hard disk drives, automotive, telecom, and
a variety of general purpose industrial uses. One specific
intended application is controlling a hard disk voice coil.
The internal reference of the ML2340 provides a 2.25V or
4.50V output for use with A/D converters that use a single
5V ±10% power supply, while the ML2350 provide a
2.50V or 5.00V reference output.

1.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
1.1 D/A CONVERTER
ML2340, ML2350
The D/A converter is implemented using an array of equal
current sources that are decoded semi-linearly for the four
most significant bits to improve differential linearity and to
reduce output glitch around major carries. See Figure 4.
The input voltage reference of the D/A converter is the
difference between V
and AGND. This difference
REF IN
voltage is converted to a reference current using an
internal resistor to set up the appropriate current level in
4I4I4I2III
Figure 4. D/A Converter Implementation
the D/A converter. The D/A converter output current is
then converted to a voltage output by an output buffer
and a resistive network. The matching among the
on-chip resistors preserves the gain accuracy between
these conversions.
The D/A converter can be used in a multiplying mode by
modulating the reference input within the specified
V
REF IN
range.

1.2 SINGLE-SUPPLY vs. DUAL-SUPPLY OPERATION
ML2340 and ML2350 can be powered from a single
supply ranging from 4.5V to 13.2V or dual supplies
ranging from ±2.25V to ±6.6V.
The internal digital and analog circuitry is powered
between VCC and AGND. The range of DGND is
AGND - DGND - VCC – 4.5V with the logic thresholds
set between 0.8V and 2.0V above DGND (standard TTL
logic level). The range of VZS is AGND - VZS - (VCC –
2.25V).
1.3 UNIPOLAR AND BIPOLAR OUTPUT
VOLTAGE SWING
ML2340 and ML2350 can operate in either unipolar or
bipolar output voltage mode. Unipolar/bipolar mode
selection is determined by comparing the zero scale
voltage (VZS) of these devices to a precise internal
reference that is referred to AGND. VZS is ideally the
voltage that will be produced at the DAC voltage output
when the digital input data is set to all “0’s” Unipolar
mode is selected when VZS is lower than 1.00 volt, and
bipolar mode is selected when VZS is greater than 1.50
volts.
1.3.1 Unipolar Output Mode
In the unipolar mode, V
swings above VZS. Ideally the
OUT
00000000 code results in an output voltage of VZS, and
the 11111111 code results in an output voltage of
VFS x 255/256, where VFS is the full-scale voltage
determined by V
and the gain setting.
REF IN
1.3.2 Bipolar Output Mode
In the bipolar mode, V
swings around VZS. The input
OUT
data is in 2’s complement binary format. Ideally, the
00000000 code results in an output voltage of VZS; the
10000000 code results in an output voltage of (VZS – VFS);
and the 01111111 results in an output voltage of (VZS +
VFS 127/128), where VFS is the full scale output voltage
determined by V
and the gain setting.
REF IN
1.4 OUTPUT BUFFER AND GAIN SETTING
The output buffer converts the D/A output current to a
voltage output using a resistive network with proper gain
setting determined by the GAIN 0 and GAIN 1 inputs.
There are four possible gain settings for unipolar output
voltage mode and bipolar output voltage mode as listed
below:

The output buffer can source or sink as much as 10mA of
current with an output voltage of at least 1V from either
VCC or AGND. As the output voltage approaches VCC or
AGND the current sourcing/sinking capability of the
output buffer is reduced. The output buffer can still swing
down to within 10mV of AGND and up to within 40mV of
VCC with a 100kW load at V
to AGND in the unipolar
OUT
operation. In the bipolar operation, the output buffer
swing is limited to about 100mV from either rails.
1.5 VOLTAGE REFERENCE
A bandgap voltage reference is incorporated on the ML2340
and ML2350. Two reference voltages can be produced by
each device. An internal comparator monitors the power
supply voltage to determine the selection of the reference
voltage. A reference voltage of 2.25 volts on the ML2340
and 2.50 volts on the ML2350 is selected when the supply
voltage is less than approximately 7.50 volts. Otherwise, a
reference voltage of 4.50 volts and 5.00 volts is selected. To
prevent the comparator from oscillating between the two
selections, avoid operation with a power supply between 70
and 8.0 volts.
The bandgap reference is trimmed for zero Temperature
Coefficient (TC) at 35°C to minimize output voltage drift
over the specified operating temperature range.
The internal reference is buffered for use by the DAC and
external circuits. The reference buffer will source more
than 5mA of current and sink more than 1mA of current.

An external reference can alternatively be used on V
= 5.0V with
REF
REF IN
to set the desired full scale voltage. The linearity of the D/A
converter depends on the reference used, however. To
insure integral linearity at an 8-bit level, a reference
voltage of no less than 2V and no more than 7V (2.75V
for operation with a low-voltage power supply) should
be used.
1.6 DIGITAL INTERFACE
The digital interface of the ML2340 and ML2350 consist
of a transfer input (XFER) and eight data inputs, DB0
through DB7. The digital interface operates in one of the
two modes:
1.6.1 Single-Buffered Mode
Digital input data on DB0–DB7 is passed through an 8-bit
transparent input latch on the rising edge of XFER.
Because the outputs of the latch are connected directly to
the inputs of the internal DAC, changes on the digital data
while the XFER input is still active will cause an
immediate change in the DAC output voltage. To hold the
input data on the latch, the XFER input needs deactivated
while the data is still stable.
1.6.2 Flow-Through Mode
In the flow-through mode, the input latch is bypassed.
When XFER is set to logic “1”, a change of data inputs,
DB0–DB7, results in an immediate update of the output
voltage.
1.7 POWER-ON-RESET
The ML2340 and ML2350 have an internal power-on-
reset circuit to initialize the device when power is first
applied to the device. The power-on-reset interval of
typically 8µs begins when the supply voltage, VCC reaches
approximately 2.0V. During the power-on-reset interval,
the transparent latch is reset to all “0’s”.
