The DAC1218 and the DAC1219 are 12-bit binary, 4-quadrant multiplying D to A converters. The linearity, differential
non-linearity and monotonicity specifications for these converters are all guaranteed over temperature. In addition,
these parameters are specified with standard zero and fullscale adjustment procedures as opposed to the impractical
best fit straight line guarantee.
This level of precision is achieved though the use of an
advanced silicon-chromium (SiCr) R-2R resistor ladder network. This type of thin-film resistor eliminates the parasitic
diode problems associated with diffused resistors and allows the applied reference voltage to range from
25V, independent of the logic supply voltage.
CMOS current switches and drive circuitry are used to
achieve low power consumption (20 mW typical) and minimize output leakage current errors (10 nA maximum).
Unique digital input circuitry maintains TTL compatible input
threshold voltages over the full operating supply voltage
range.
The DAC1218 and DAC1219 are direct replacements for
the AD7541 series, AD7521 series, and AD7531 series with
a significant improvement in the linearity specification. In
applications where direct interface of the D to A converter to

Electrical Characteristics Notes
Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. DC and AC electrical specifications do not apply when operating
the device beyond its specified operating conditions.
Note 2: All voltages are measured with respect to GND, unless otherwise specified.
Note 3: This 500 mW specification applies for all packages. The low intrinsic power dissipation of this part (and the fact that there is no way to significantly modify
the power dissipation) removes concern for heat sinking.
Note 4: Both I
example, if V
Note 5: The unit FSR stands for full-scale range. Linearity Error and Power Supply Rejection specs are based on this unit to eliminate dependence on a particular
V
value to indicate the true performance of the part. The Linearity Error specification of the DAC1218 is 0.012% of FSR. This guarantees that after performing a
REF
zero and full-scale adjustment, the plot of the 4096 analog voltage outputs will each be within 0.012%
scale. The unit ppm of FSR (parts per million of full-scale range) and ppm of FS (parts per million of full-scale) are used for convenience to define specs of very
small percentage values, typical of higher accuracy converters. 1 ppm of FSR

Definition of Terms
Resolution: Resolution is defined as the reciprocal of the
number of discrete steps in the DAC output. It is directly
related to the number of switches or bits within the DAC. For
example, the DAC1218 has 2
has 12-bit resolution.
Linearity Error: Linearity error in the maximum deviation
from a
straight line passing through the endpoints of the
12
or 4096 steps and therefore
DAC transfer characteristic.
It is measured after adjusting
for zero and full scale. Linearity error is a parameter intrinsic
to the device and cannot be externally adjusted.
National’s linearity test (a) and the best straight line test (b)
used by other suppliers are illustrated below. The best
straight line (b) requires a special zero and FS adjustment
for each part, which is almost impossible for the user to
determine. The end point test uses a standard zero FS adjustment procedure and is a much more stringent test for
DAC linearity.
Power Supply Sensitivity: Power supply sensitivity is a
measure of the effect of power supply changes on the DAC
full-scale output.
Settling Time: Full-scale current settling time requires zero
to full-scale or full-scale to zero output change. Settling time
is the time required from a code transition until the DAC
output reaches within
g
1/2 LSB of the final output value.
Full-scale Error: Full-scale error is a measure of the output
error between an ideal DAC and the actual device output.
Ideally, for the DAC1218 full-scale is V

Differential Non-Linearity: The difference between any
two consecutive codes in the transfer curve from the theoretical 1 LSB is differential non-linearity.
Monotonic: If the output of a DAC increases for increasing
digital input code, then the DAC is monotonic. A 12-bit DAC
which is monotonic to 12 bits simply means that input increasing digital input codes will produce an increasing analog output.
