GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
The AD7225 contains four 8-bit voltage output digital-toanalog converters, with output buffer amplifiers and interface
logic on a single monolithic chip. Each DAC has a separate
reference input terminal. No external trims are required to
achieve full specified performance for the part.
1.
DACs and Amplifiers on CMOS Chip.
The single-chip design of four 8-bit DACs and amplifiers
allows a dramatic reduction in board space requirements
and offers increased reliability in systems using multiple
converters. Its pinout is aimed at optimizing board layout
with all analog inputs and outputs at one end of the
package and all digital inputs at the other.
2.
Single- or Dual-Supply Operation.
The voltage-mode configuration of the AD7225 allows
single-supply operation. The part can also be operated with
dual supplies, giving enhanced performance for some
parameters.
3.
Versatile Interface Logic.
The AD7225 has a common 8-bit data bus with individual
DAC latches, providing a versatile control architecture for
simple interface to microprocessors. The double-buffered
interface allows simultaneous update of the four outputs.
4.
Separate Reference Input for Each DAC.
The AD7225 offers great flexibility in dealing with input
signals, with a separate reference input provided for each
DAC and each reference having variable input voltage
capability.
The double-buffered interface logic consists of two 8-bit
registers per channel—an input register and a DAC register.
Control Input A0 and Control Input A1 determine which input
register is loaded when WR goes low. Only the data held in the
DAC registers determines the analog outputs of the converters.
The double-buffering allows simultaneous update of all four
outputs under control of LDAC. All logic inputs are TTL and
CMOS (5 V) level compatible, and the control logic is speed
compatible with most 8-bit microprocessors.
Specified performance is guaranteed for input reference
voltages from 2 V to 12.5 V when using dual supplies. The part
is also specified for single-supply operation using a reference of
10 V. Each output buffer amplifier is capable of developing 10 V
across a 2 kΩ load.
The AD7225 is fabricated on an all ion-implanted, high speed,
linear-compatible CMOS (LC2MOS) process, which is
specifically developed to integrate high speed digital logic
circuits and precision analog circuitry on the same chip.

TERMINOLOGY
Total Unadjusted Error
Total unadjusted error is a comprehensive specification that
includes full-scale error, relative accuracy, and zero code error.
Maximum output voltage is VREF − 1 LSB (ideal), where 1 LSB
(ideal) is VREF/256. The LSB size varies over the VREF range.
Therefore, the zero code error, relative to the LSB size, increases
as VREF decreases. Accordingly, the total unadjusted error, which
includes the zero code error, also varies in terms of LSB over the
VREF range. As a result, total unadjusted error is specified for a
fixed reference voltage of 10 V.
Relative Accuracy
Relative accuracy or endpoint nonlinearity is a measure of the
maximum deviation from a straight line passing through the
endpoints of the DAC transfer function. It is measured after
allowing for zero code error and full-scale error and is normally
expressed in LSB or as a percentage of full-scale reading.
Differential Nonlinearity
Differential nonlinearity is the difference between the measured
change and the ideal 1 LSB change between any two adjacent
codes. A specified differential nonlinearity of ±1 LSB maximum
over the operating temperature range ensures monotonicity.
Digital Feedthrough
Digital feedthrough is the glitch impulse transferred to the
output of the DAC due to a change in its digital input code. It is
specified in nV sec and is measured at VREF = 0 V.
Digital Crosstalk
Digital crosstalk is the glitch impulse transferred to the output
of one converter (not addressed) due to a change in the digital
input code to another addressed converter. It is specified in nV
sec and is measured at VREF = 0 V.
AC Feedthrough
AC feedthrough is the proportion of reference input signal that
appears at the output of a converter when that DAC is loaded
with all 0s.
Channel-to-Channel Isolation
Channel-to-channel isolation is the proportion of input signal
from the reference of one DAC (loaded with all 1s) that appears
at the output of one of the other three DACs (loaded with all 0s)
The figure given is the worst case for the three other outputs
and is expressed as a ratio in dB.
Full-Scale Error
Full-scale error is defined as
FSE = Measured Value − Zero Code Error − Ideal Value

AD7225
CIRCUIT INFORMATION
DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG SECTION
The AD7225 contains four identical, 8-bit voltage mode digitalto-analog converters. Each DAC has a separate reference input.
The output voltages from the converters have the same polarity
as the reference voltages, allowing single-supply operation. A novel
DAC switch pair arrangement on the AD7225 allows a reference voltage range from 2 V to 12.5 V on each reference input.
Each DAC consists of a highly stable, thin-film, R-2R ladder and
eight high speed NMOS, single-pole, double-throw switches. The
simplified circuit diagram for Channel A is shown in Figure 10.
Note that AGND is common to all four DACs.
Settling time for negative-going output signals approaching
AGND is similarly affected by VSS. Negative-going settling time
for single-supply operation is longer than for dual-supply operation. Positive-going settling time is not affected by VSS.

parameters that cannot be achieved with single-supply operation. In single-supply operation (VSS = 0 V = AGND), the sink
capability of the amplifier, which is normally 400 μA, is reduced
as the output voltage nears AGND. The full sink capability of
400 μA is maintained over the full output voltage range by tying
VSS to −5 V. This is shown in Figure 11.

The input impedance at any of the reference inputs is code
dependent and can vary from 11 kΩ minimum to infinity. The
lowest input impedance at any reference input occurs when that
DAC is loaded with Digital Code 01010101. Therefore, it is
important that the reference presents a low output impedance
under changing load conditions. The nodal capacitance at the
reference terminals is also code dependent and typically varies
from 15 pF to 35 pF.
Figure 11. Variation of ISINK with VOUT
Additionally, the negative VSS gives more headroom to the
output amplifiers, which results in better zero code performance and improved slew rate at the output than can be
obtained in the single-supply mode.
DIGITAL INPUTS SECTION
VOUTX = DX × VREFX
where DX is a fractional representation of the digital input code
and can vary from 0 to 255/256.
The output impedance is that of the output buffer amplifier.
OP AMP SECTION
Each voltage mode DAC output is buffered by a unity gain
noninverting CMOS amplifier. This buffer amplifier is capable
of developing 10 V across a 2 kΩ load and can drive capacitive
loads of 3300 pF.
The AD7225 digital inputs are compatible with either TTL or
5 V CMOS levels. All logic inputs are static protected MOS
gates with typical input currents of less than 1 nA. Internal
input protection is achieved by an on-chip distributed diode
between DGND and each MOS gate. To minimize power supply
currents, it is recommended that the digital input voltages be
driven as close to the supply rails (VDD and DGND) as practically possible.
The AD7225 can be operated single or dual supply; operating
with dual supplies results in enhanced performance in some

Only the data held in the DAC register determines the analog
output of the converter. The LDAC signal is common to all four
DACs and controls the transfer of information from the input
registers to the DAC registers. Data is latched into all four DAC
registers simultaneously on the rising edge of LDAC. The LDAC
signal is level triggered and therefore the DAC registers can be
made transparent by tying LDAC low (in this case, the outputs
of the converters respond to the data held in their respective
input latches). LDAC is an asynchronous signal and is independent of WR. This is useful in many applications. However, in
systems where the asynchronous LDAC can occur during a
write cycle (or vice versa), care must be taken to ensure that
incorrect data is not latched through to the output. If LDAC is
activated prior to the rising edge of WR (or WR occurs during
LDAC), LDAC must stay low for t6 or longer after WR goes high
to ensure correct data is latched through to the output. Table 6
shows the truth table for AD7225 operation. Figure 12 shows
the input control logic for the part; the write cycle timing
diagram is given in Figure 13.

The AD7225 contains two registers per DAC, an input register
and a DAC register. The A0 and A1 address lines select which
input register accepts data from the input port. When the WR
signal is low, the input latches of the selected DAC are transparent. The data is latched into the addressed input register on the
rising edge of WR. Table 5 shows the addressing for the input
registers on the AD7225.
AD7225
GROUND MANAGEMENT AND LAYOUT
Because the AD7225 contains four reference inputs that can be
driven from ac sources (see the AC Reference Signal section),
careful layout and grounding is important to minimize analog
crosstalk between the four channels. The dynamic performance
of the four DACs depends on the optimum choice of board
layout. Figure 14 shows the relationship between input frequency and channel-to-channel isolation. Figure 15 shows a
printed circuit board layout that minimizes crosstalk and
feedthrough. The four input signals are screened by AGND.
VREF was limited to between 2 V and 3.24 V to avoid slew rate
limiting effects from the output amplifier during measurements.

SPECIFICATION RANGES
For the AD7225 to operate to rated specifications, its input
reference voltage must be at least 4 V below the VDD power
supply voltage. This voltage differential is the overhead voltage
required by the output amplifiers.
The AD7225 is specified to operate over a VDD range from 12 V
± 5% to 15 V ± 10% (that is, from 11.4 V to 16.5 V) with a VSS
of −5 V ± 10%. Operation is also specified for a single 15 V ±
5% VDD supply. Applying a VSS of −5 V results in improved zero-
code error, improved output sink capability with outputs near
AGND, and improved negative-going settling time.
Performance is specified over a wide range of reference voltages
from 2 V to (VDD − 4 V) with dual supplies. This allows a range
of standard reference generators to be used, such as the AD780,
a 2.5 V band gap reference, and the AD584, a precision 10 V
reference. Note that an output voltage range of 0 V to 10 V
requires a nominal 15 V ± 5% power supply voltage.

UNIPOLAR OUTPUT OPERATION
VREF A VREF B VREF C VREF D
This is the basic mode of operation for each channel of the
AD7225, with the output voltage having the same positive
polarity as VREFx. The AD7225 can be operated single supply
(VSS = AGND) or with positive/negative supplies (see the Op
Amp Section, which outlines the advantages of having negative
VSS). Connections for the unipolar output operation are shown
in Figure 16. The voltage at any of the reference inputs must
never be negative with respect to DGND. Failure to observe this
precaution may cause parasitic transistor action and possible
device destruction. The code table for unipolar output
operation is shown in Table 7.

Each of the DACs of the AD7225 can be individually configured to provide bipolar output operation. This is possible
using one external amplifier and two resistors per channel.

Mismatch between R1 and R2 causes gain and offset errors and,
therefore, these resistors must match and track over temperature. The AD7225 can be operated in single supply or from
positive/negative supplies. Table 8 shows the digital code vs.

The AD7225 AGND pin can be biased above system ground

For a given VIN, increasing AGND above system ground reduces
the effective VDD − VREF, which must be at least 4 V to ensure
specified operation. Note that, because the AGND pin is
common to all four DACs, this method biases up the output
voltages of all the DACs in the AD7225. Note that VDD and VSS
of the AD7225 should be referenced to DGND.

In some applications, it may be desirable to have ac reference
signals. The AD7225 has multiplying capability within the
upper (VDD − 4 V) and lower (2 V) limits of reference voltage
when operated with dual supplies. Therefore, ac signals need to
be ac-coupled and biased up before being applied to the
reference inputs. Figure 19 shows a sine wave signal applied to
VREFA. For input signal frequencies up to 50 kHz, the output
distortion typically remains less than 0.1%. The typical 3 dB
bandwidth figure for small signal inputs is 800 kHz.

The convolution sum can be implemented using the special structure known as the transversal filter (see Figure 21). It consists
of an N-stage delay line with N taps weighted by N coefficients,
the resulting products being accumulated to form the output.
The tap weights or coefficients hk are the nonzero elements of
the impulse response and therefore determine the filter transfer
function. A particular filter frequency response is realized by
setting the coefficients to the appropriate values. This property
leads to the implementation of transversal filters whose frequency response is programmable.

A four-tap programmable transversal filter can be implemented
using the AD7225 (see Figure 20). The input signal is first sampled
and converted to allow the tapped delay line function to be
provided by the AM29520. The multiplication of delayed input
samples by fixed, programmable up weights is accomplished by
the AD7225, the four coefficients or reference inputs being set
by the digital codes stored in the AD7226. The resultant products
are accumulated to yield the convolution sum output sample,
which is held by the AD585.

any desired transfer function can be obtained using the standard
Remez exchange algorithm. Figure 22 shows the theoretical
low-pass frequency response produced by a four-tap transversal
filter with the coefficients indicated. Although the theoretical

Because each DAC of the AD7225 has a separate reference input,
the output of one DAC can be used as the reference input for
another. This means that multiplication of digital words can be
performed (with the result given in analog form). For example,
if the output from DAC A is applied to VREFB, then the output
from DAC B, VOUTB, can be expressed as:

In this manner, the four DACs can be used on their own or in
conjunction with an external summing amplifier to generate
complex waveforms. Figure 24 shows one such application.
In this case, the output waveform, Y, is represented by
Y = −(x4 + 2x3 + 3x2 + 2x + 4) × VIN
where x is the digital code that is applied to all four DAC
latches.

Operating the AD7225 from dual supplies results in enhanced
performance over single-supply operation on a number of
parameters as previously outlined. Some applications may
require this enhanced performance, but may only have a single
power supply rail available. The circuit of Figure 29 shows a
method of generating a negative voltage using one CD4049,
operated from a VDD of 15 V. Two inverters of the hex inverter
chip are used as an oscillator. The other four inverters are in
parallel and used as buffers for higher output current. The
square wave output is level translated to a negative-going signal,
then rectified and filtered. The circuit configuration shown
provides an output voltage of −5.1 V for current loadings in the
range of 0.5 mA to 9 mA. This satisfies the AD7225 ISS requirement over the commercial operating temperature range.
