16-BIT DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG CONVERTERwith 16-Bit Bus Interface
2
HIGH-SPEED, 16-BIT PARALLEL
The DAC712 is a complete 16-bit resolutionDOUBLE-BUFFERED INTERFACE
digital-to-analog (D/A) converter with 16 bits ofmonotonicity over temperature.VOLTAGE OUTPUT: ± 10V13-, 14-, AND 15-BIT LINEARITY GRADES
The DAC712 has a precision +10Vtemperature-compensated voltage reference, ± 10V16-BIT MONOTONIC OVER TEMPERATURE
output amplifier, and 16-bit port bus interface.(L GRADE)
The digital interface is fast, 60ns minimum write pulsePOWER DISSIPATION: 600mW max
width, double-buffered, and has a CLEAR functionGAIN AND OFFSET ADJUST:
that resets the analog output to bipolar zero.Convenient for Auto-Cal D/A Converters
GAIN and OFFSET adjustment inputs are arranged28-LEAD DIP AND SOIC PACKAGES
so that they can be easily trimmed by external D/Aconverters as well as by potentiometers.
The DAC712 is available in two linearity errorperformance grades: ± 4LSB and ± 2LSB, and threedifferential linearity grades: ± 4LSB, ± 2LSB, and± 1LSB. The DAC712 is specified at power-supplyvoltages of ± 12V and ± 15V.
The DAC712 is packaged in a 28-pin, 0.3" wideplastic DIP and in a 28-lead, wide-body plastic SOIC.The DAC712P, U, PB, and UB are specified over the 40 ° C to +85 ° C temperature range and theDAC712PK, UK, PL, and UL are specified over the0 ° C to +70 ° C range.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled withappropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be moresusceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

The DAC712 is a monolithic integrated-circuit, 16-bit All latches are level-triggered. Data present when theD/A converter complete with 16-bit D/A converter enable inputs are logic '0' enter the latch. When theswitches and ladder network, voltage reference, enable inputs return to logic '1', the data are latched.output amplifier, and microprocessor bus interface.
The CLR input resets both the input latch and the D/Alatch to give a bipolar zero output.
The DAC712 has double-buffered data latches. Theinput data latch holds a 16-bit data word beforeloading it into the second latch, the D/A latch. Thisdouble-buffered organization permits simultaneousupdate of several D/A converters. All digital controlinputs are active low. Refer to the block diagram ofFigure 8 .

Apply the digital input that gives the maximumpositive voltage output. Adjust the gain potentiometeror the gain adjust D/A converter for this positivefull-scale voltage.
Because of the high accuracy of these D/Aconverters, system design problems such asgrounding and contact resistance become veryimportant. A 16-bit converter with a 20V full-scalerange has a 1LSB value of 305mV. With a loadcurrent of 5 µA, series wiring and connectorresistance of only 60m causes a voltage drop of300 µV. To understand what this means in terms of asystem layout, the resistivity of a typical 1-ouncecopper-clad printed circuit board (PCB) is 1/2m persquare. For a 5mA load, a 10 mil (0.010 inch) wideprinted circuit conductor 60 milli-inches long results ina voltage drop of 150 µV.
