TDA1310A
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA1310A is a device of a new generation of
Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs) which embodies the
innovative technique of Continuous Calibration. The
largest bit-currents are repeatedly generated by one single
current reference source. This duplication is based upon
an internal charge storage principle having an accuracy
insensitive to ageing, temperature and process variations.
The TDA1310A is fabricated in a 1.0 µm CMOS process
and features an extremely low power dissipation, small
package size and easy application. Furthermore, the
accuracy of the intrinsic high coarse-current combined
with the implemented symmetrical offset decoding method
precludes zero-crossing distortion and ensures high
quality audio reproduction. Therefore, the CC-DAC is
eminently suitable for use in (portable) digital audio
equipment.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The basic operation of the continuous calibration DAC is
illustrated in Fig.3. The figure shows the calibration and
operation cycle. During calibration of the MOS current
source (Fig.3a) transistor M1 is connected as a diode by
applying a reference current. The voltage Vgs on the
intrinsic gate-source capacitance Cgs of M1 is then
determined by the transistor characteristics. After
calibration of the drain current to the reference value I
the switch S1 is opened and S2 is switched to the other
position (Fig.3b). The gate-to-source voltage Vgs of M1 is
not changed because the charge on Cgs is preserved.
Therefore, the drain current of M1 will still be equal to I
and this exact duplicate of I
terminal.
The 32 current sources and the spare current source of the
TDA1310A are continuously calibrated (see Fig.1). The
spare current source is included to allow continuous
converter operation. The output of one calibrated source is
connected to an 11-bit binary current divider consisting of
2048 transistors. A symmetrical offset decoding principle
is incorporated and arranges the bit switching in such a
way that the zero-crossing is performed only by switching
the LSB currents.

The TDA1310A (CC-DAC) accepts serial input data
formats of 16-bit word length. Left and right data words are
time multiplexed. The most significant bit (bit 1) must
always be first. The input data format is shown in
Figs 4 and 5.
With a HIGH level on the word select input (WS), data is
placed in the left input register, with a LOW level on the
WS input, data is placed in the right input register
(see Fig.1). The data in the input registers are
simultaneously latched in the output registers which
control the bit switches.
