GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
The AD7628 is a monolithic dual 8-bit digital/analog converter
featuring excellent DAC-to-DAC matching. It is available in
small 0.3" wide 20-pin DIPs and in 20-terminal surface mount
packages.
1. DAC to DAC matching: since both of the AD7628 DACs
are fabricated at the same time on the same chip, precise
matching and tracking between DAC A and DAC B is inherent. The AD7628’s matched CMOS DACs make a whole
new range of applications circuits possible, particularly in the
audio, graphics and process control areas.
Separate on-chip latches are provided for each DAC to allow
easy microprocessor interface.
Data is transferred into either of the two DAC data latches via a
common 8-bit TTL/CMOS compatible input port. Control input DAC A/DAC B determines which DAC is to be loaded.
The AD7628’s load cycle is similar to the write cycle of a random access memory, and the device is bus compatible with most
8-bit microprocessors, including 6502, 6809, 8085, Z80.
The device operates from a +12 V to +15 V power supply and is
TTL-compatible over this range. Power dissipation is a low
20 mW.
2. Small package size: combining the inputs to the on-chip
DAC latches into a common data bus and adding a DAC A/
DAC B select line has allowed the AD7628 to be packaged in
a small 20-pin 0.3" wide DIP, 20-pin SOIC, 20-terminal
PLCC and 20-terminal LCC.
3. TTL-Compatibility: All digital inputs are TTL-compatible
over a +12 V to +15 V power supply range.
Both DACs offer excellent four quadrant multiplication characteristics with a separate reference input and feedback resistor for
each DAC.

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 adjusting for zero and full-scale, and is normally expressed in
LSBs 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 max over
the operating temperature range ensures monotonicity.
Gain Error:
Gain error is a measure of the output error between an ideal
DAC and the actual device output. It is measured with all 1s in
the DAC latches after offset error has been adjusted out. Gain
error of both DACs is adjustable to zero with external resistance.

INTERFACE LOGIC INFORMATION
DAC Selection
weighted currents are switched between the DAC output and
AGND, thus maintaining fixed currents in each ladder leg independent of switch state.
Both DAC latches share a common 8-bit input port. The control input DAC A/DAC B selects which DAC can accept data
from the input port.
EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT ANALYSIS
Figure 2 shows an approximate equivalent circuit for one of
the AD7628’s D/A converters, in this case DAC A. A similar
equivalent circuit can be drawn for DAC B. Note that AGND
(Pin 1) is common for both DAC A and DAC B.
Mode Selection
Inputs CS and WR control the operating mode of the selected
DAC. See Mode Selection Table below.
Write Mode
The current source ILEAKAGE is composed of surface and junction leakages and, as with most semiconductor devices, approximately doubles every 10°C. The resistor Ro, as shown in Figure 2, is the equivalent output resistance of the device, which
varies with input code (excluding all 0s code) from 0.8R to 2R.
R is typically 11 kΩ. COUT is the capacitance due to the N-channel
switches and varies from about 50 pF to 120 pF, depending on
the digital input. g(VREF A, N) is the Thevenin equivalent voltage generator due to the reference input voltage VREF A and the
transfer function of the R-2R ladder.
When CS and WR are both low, the selected DAC is in the write
mode. The input data latches of the selected DAC are transparent and its analog output responds to activity on DB0–DB7.
Hold Mode
The selected DAC latch retains the data that was present on
DB0–DB7 just prior to CS or WR assuming a high state. Both
analog outputs remain at the values corresponding to the data in
their respective latches.

CIRCUIT INFORMATION–DIGITAL SECTION
The input buffers are simple CMOS level-shifters designed so
that when the AD7628 is operated with VDD from 10.8 V to
15.75 V, the buffer converts TTL input levels (2.4 V and 0.8 V)
into CMOS logic levels. When VIN is in the region of 1.0 volt to
2.0 volts, the input buffers operate in their linear region and
pass a quiescent current (see Figure 3). To minimize power supply currents, it is recommended that the digital input voltages be as
close to the supply rails (VDD and DGND) as practicably possible.
The AD7628 may be operated with any supply voltage in the
range 10.8 ≤ VDD ≤ 15.75 volts.
CIRCUIT INFORMATION—D/A SECTION
The AD7628 contains two identical 8-bit multiplying D/A converters, DAC A and DAC B. Each DAC consists of a highly
stable thin film R-2R ladder and eight N-channel current steering
switches. A simplified D/A circuit for DAC A is shown in Figure
1. An inverted R-2R ladder structure is used; that is, binary

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Application Hints
Figure 7 shows a printed circuit layout for the AD7628 and the
AD644 dual op amp, which minimizes feedthrough and crosstalk.
To ensure system performance consistent with AD7628 specifications, careful attention must be given to the following points:
SINGLE SUPPLY APPLICATIONS
1. GENERAL GROUND MANAGEMENT: AC or transient
voltages between the AD7628 AGND and DGND can cause
noise injection into the analog output. The simplest method
of ensuring that voltages at AGND and DGND are equal is
to tie AGND and DGND together at the AD7628. In more
omplex systems where the AGND–DGND intertie is on the
backplane, it is recommended that diodes be connected in
inverse parallel between the AD7628 AGND and DGND
pins (1N914 or equivalent).
2. OUTPUT AMPLIFIER OFFSET: CMOS DACs exhibit a
code-dependent output resistance which, in turn, causes a
code-dependent amplifier noise gain. The effect is a codedependent differential nonlinearity term at the amplifier
output that depends on VOS (VOS is amplifier input offset
voltage). This differential nonlinearity term adds to the R/2R
differential nonlinearity. To maintain monotonic operation, it
is recommended that amplifier VOS be no greater than 10% of
1 LSB over the temperature range of interest.
The AD7628 DAC R-2R ladder termination resistors are connected to AGND within the device. This arrangement is particularly convenient for single supply operation because AGND
may be biased at any voltage between DGND and VDD. Figure
8 shows a circuit that provides two +5 V to +8 V analog outputs
by biasing AGND +5 V up from DGND. The two DAC reference inputs are tied together and a reference input voltage is obtained without a buffer amplifier by making use of the constant
and matched impedances of the DAC A and DAC B reference
inputs. Current flows through the two DAC R-2R ladders into
R1, and R1 is adjusted until the VREF A and VREF B inputs are
at +2 V. The two analog output voltages range from +5 V to
+8 V for DAC codes 00000000 to l l l l l l l l .
3. HIGH FREQUENCY CONSIDERATIONS: The output
capacitance of a CMOS DAC works in conjunction with the
amplifier feedback resistance to add a pole to the open loop
response. This can cause ringing or oscillation. Stability can
be restored by adding a phase compensation capacitor in
parallel with the feedback resistor.
DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
The dynamic performance of the two DACs in the AD7628 will
depend on the gain and phase characteristics of the output amplifiers, together with the optimum choice of the PC board layout and decoupling components. Figure 6 shows the relationship
between input frequency and channel-to-channel isolation.
Figure 8. AD7628 Single Supply Operation
Figure 9 shows DAC A of the AD7628 connected in a positive
reference, voltage switching mode. This configuration is useful
because VOUT is the same polarity as VIN, allowing single supply
operation. However, to retain specified linearity, VIN must be in
the range 0 V to +2.5 V and the output buffered or loaded with
a high impedance (see Figure 10). Note that the input voltage is
connected to the DAC OUT A, and the output voltage is taken
from the DAC VREF A pin.

In the circuit of Figure 13, the AD7628 is used to implement a
programmable window comparator. DACs A and B are loaded
with the required upper and lower voltage limits for the test,
respectively. If the test input is not within the programmed limits, the pass/fail output will indicate a fail (logic zero).

In this state, variable or universal filter configuration (Figure

characteristic, while DACs A2 and B2 control the cutoff frequency, fC. DACs A2 and B2 must track accurately for the simple
expression for fC to hold. This is readily accomplished by the
AD7628. Op amps are 2 × AD644. C3 compensates for the
effects of op amp gain-bandwidth limitations.
REV. A
The filter provides low pass, high pass and band pass outputs
and is ideally suited for applications where microprocessor control of filter parameters is required, e.g., equalizer, tone controls, etc.
Programmable range for component values shown is fC = 0 kHz
to 15 kHz and Q = 0.3 to 4.5.
