The following is a brief description of this approach. The most common technique for building a D/A converter of n bits is to use n switches to turn n current or voltage sources on or off. The n switches and n sources are designed so that each switch or bit contributes twice as much to the D/A converter's output as the preceding bit. This technique is commonly known as binary weighting and allows an n-bit converter to generate 2n output levels by turning on the proper combination of bits. In such binary-weighted converter, the switch with the smallest contribution (the LSB) accounts for only 2-n of the converter's full-scale value. Similarly, the switch with the largest contribution (the MSB) accounts for 2 -1 or half of the converter's full-scale output. Thus it is easy to see that a given percent change in the MSB will have a greater effect on the converter's output than would a similar percent change in the LSB. For example, a 1% change in the LSB of a 10 bit converter would only affect the output by 0.001% of full-scale. A 1% change in the MSB of the same converter would affect the output by 0.5% of FSR. In order to overcome the problem which results from the large weighting of the MSB, the two MSB's can be decoded to three equally weighted sources. Table 1 shows that all combinations of the two MSB's of a converter result in four output levels. So by replacing the two MSB's with three bits equally weighted at 1/ 4 full-scale and decoding the two MSB digital inputs into three lines which drive the equally weighted bits, the same functional performance can be obtained. Thus by replacing the two MSB switches of a conventional converter with three switches properly decoded, the contribution of any switch is reduced from 1/2 to 1/4. This reduction in sensitivity also reduces the FEATURES... The SP7514 and HS3140 are precision 14-bit multiplying DACs. The DACs are implemented as a onechip CMOS circuit with a resistor ladder network. Three output lines are provided on the DACs to allow unipolar and bipolar output connection with a minimum of external components. The feedback resistor is internal. The resistor ladder network termination is externally available, thus eliminating an external resistor for the 1 LSB offset in bipolar mode. The SP7514 is available for use in commercial and industrial temperature ranges, packaged in a 20-pin SOIC. The HS3140 is available in commercial and military temperature ranges, packaged in a 20-pin side-brazed DIP.

Contribution of the two MSB's SP7514 HS3140 accuracy required of any switch for a given overall converter accuracy. A I O2 + GND With the decoded converter described above, a 1% change in any of the converter's switches will affect the output by no more than 0.25% of full-scale as compared to 0.5% for a conventional converter. In other words the conventional D/A converter can be made less sensitive to the quality of its individual bits by decoding. Figure 2. Unipolar Operation settling time, and bandwidth. The DAC output equivalent circuit can be represented as shown in Figure 1. Digital feedthrough is the change in analog output due to the toggling conditions on the converter input data lines when the analog input VREF is at 0V. The SP7514/HS3140 very low CO and therefore will yield low digital feedthrough. Inputs to the DAC can be buffered. This input latch with microprocessor control is shown in Figure 4. In the SP7514/HS3140 the first four MSB's are decoded into 16 levels which drive 15 equally weighted current sources. The sensitivity of each switch on the output is reduced by a factor of 8. Each of the 15 sources contributes 6.25% output change rather than an MSB change of 50% for the common approach. Settling time is directly affected by CO. In Figure 1, CO combines with Rf to add a pole to the open loop response, reducing bandwidth and causing excessive phase shift - which could result in ringing and/or oscillation. A feedback capacitor, Cf must be added to restore stability. Even with Cf, there is still a zero-pole mismatch due to RiCO which is code dependent. This code dependent mismatch is minimized when CORi = RfCf. However Cf must now be made larger to compensate for worst case RiCO - resulting in reduced bandwidth and increased settling time. With the SP7514/HS3140, small values for Cf must be used. Following the decoded section of the DAC a standard binary weighted R-2R approach is used. This divides each of the 16 levels (or 6.25% of F.S.) into 4096 discrete levels (the 12 LSB's). Output Capacitance The SP7514/HS3140 have very low output capacitance (CO). This is specified both with all switches ON and all switches OFF. Output capacitance varies from 50pF to 100pF over all input codes. This low capacitance is due in part to the decoding technique used. Smaller switches are used with resulting less capacitance.

The transfer function is given in Table 2, where the value of each bit is 0 or 1. Division by all "0"s is undefined and causes the op amp to saturate. 2 MSB GND LATCHES Figure 4. Microprocessor Interface to SP7514/HS3140 Resistor Rp can be added, this will parallel Rj decreasing the effective resistance. If Cf is reduced the bandwidth will be increased and settling time decreased. However a system penalty for lowering Cf is to increase noise gain. The trade-off is noise vs. settling time. If Rp is added then a large value (1F or greater) non-polarized capacitor Cp should be added in series with Rp to eliminate any DC drifts. If settling time is not important, eliminate Rp and Cp, and adjust Cf to prevent overshoot. Applications Information Unipolar Operation Figure 2 shows the interconnections for unipolar operation. Connect IO1 and FB1 as shown in diagram. Tie IO2 (Pin 7), FB3 (Pin 3), and FB4 (Pin 1) to Ground (Pin 8). As shown, a series resistor is recommended in the VDD supply line to limit current during `turn-on'. To maintain specified linearity, external amplifiers must be zeroed. Apply an ALL "ZEROES" digital input and adjust ROS for VOUT = 0 1mV. The SP7514 and HS3140 have been used successfully with OP-07, OP-27 and LF441A. For high speed applications the SP2525 is recommended. Output Offset In most applications, the output of the DAC is fed into an amplifier to convert the DAC's current output to voltage. A little known and not commonly discussed parameter is the linearity error versus offset voltage of the output amplifier. All CMOS DAC's must operate into a virtual ground, i.e., the summing junction of an op amp. Any amplifier's offset from the amplifier will appear as an error at the output (which can be related to LSB's of error). Bipolar Operation Figure 3 shows the interconnections for bipolar operation. Connect IO1, IO2, FB1, FB3, FB4 as shown in diagram. Tie LDTR to IO2. As shown, a series resistor is recommended in the VDD supply line to limit current during `turn-on. To maintain specified linearity, external amplifiers must be zeroed. This is best done with VREF set to zero and, the DAC register loaded with 10...0 (MSB = 1). Set R0S1 for V01 = 0. Set R0S2 for VOUT = 0. Set VREF to +10V and adjust RB for VOUT to be 0V. Most all CMOS DAC's currently available are implemented using an R-2R ladder network. The formula for nonlinearity is typically 0.67mV/mVOS (not derived here). However the SP7516 has a coefficient of only 0.065mV/mVOS. This is due to the decoding technique described earlier. CMOS DAC applications notes (including this one) always show a potentiometer used to null out the amplifier's offset. If an amplifier is chosen having `pretrimmed' offset it may be possible to eliminate this component. Consider the following calculations: HS3140/SP7514 Grounding Connect all GND pins to system analog ground and tie this to digital ground. All unused input pins must be grounded.
