8-Bit, High Speed, Multiplying
D/A Converter
DAC08
Data Sheet
FEATURES
Direct interface to all popular logic families with full noise
immunity is provided by the high swing, adjustable threshold
logic input.
Fast settling output current: 85 ns
Full-scale current prematched to ±1 LSB
Direct interface to TTL, CMOS, ECL, HTL, PMOS
Nonlinearity to 0.1% maximum over temperature range
High output impedance and compliance: −10 V to +18 V
Complementary current outputs
Wide range multiplying capability: 1 MHz bandwidth
Low FS current drift: ±10 ppm/°C
Wide power supply range: ±4.5 V to ±18 V
Low power consumption: 33 mW at ±5 V
Low cost
High voltage compliance complementary current outputs are
provided, increasing versatility and enabling differential operation
to effectively double the peak-to-peak output swing. In many
applications, the outputs can be directly converted to voltage
without the need for an external op amp. All DAC08 series models
guarantee full 8-bit monotonicity, and nonlinearities as tight as
±0.1% over the entire operating temperature range are available.
Device performance is essentially unchanged over the ±4.5 V to
±18 V power supply range, with 33 mW power consumption
attainable at ±5 V supplies.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The compact size and low power consumption make the DAC08
attractive for portable and military/aerospace applications;
devices processed to MIL-STD-883, Level B are available.
The DAC08 series of 8-bit monolithic digital-to-analog converters provide very high speed performance coupled with low cost
and outstanding applications flexibility.
DAC08 applications include 8-bit, 1 µs A/D converters, servo
motor and pen drivers, waveform generators, audio encoders
and attenuators, analog meter drivers, programmable power
supplies, LCD display drivers, high speed modems, and other
applications where low cost, high speed, and complete
input/output versatility are required.
Advanced circuit design achieves 85 ns settling times with very
low glitch energy and at low power consumption. Monotonic
multiplying performance is attained over a wide 20 to 1 reference
current range. Matching to within 1 LSB between reference and
full-scale currents eliminates the need for full-scale trimming in
most applications.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
REFERENCE AMPLIFIER SETUP
The DAC08 is a multiplying D/A converter in which the output
current is the product of a digital number and the input reference
current. The reference current may be fixed or may vary from
nearly zero to 4.0 mA. The full-scale output current is a linear
function of the reference current and is given by
I FR
255
I REF
256
where IREF = I14
In positive reference applications, an external positive reference
voltage forces current through R14 into the VREF(+) terminal (Pin 14)
of the reference amplifier. Alternatively, a negative reference may be
applied to VREF(–) at Pin 15; reference current flows from ground
through R14 into VREF(+) as in the positive reference case. This
negative reference connection has the advantage of a very high
impedance presented at Pin 15. The voltage at Pin 14 is equal to
and tracks the voltage at Pin 15 due to the high gain of the internal
reference amplifier. R15 (nominally equal to R14) cancels bias
current errors; R15 may be eliminated with only a minor
increase in error.
Bipolar references may be accommodated by offsetting VREF or
Pin 15. The negative common-mode range of the reference
amplifier is given by VCM – = V− plus (IREF × 1 kΩ) plus 2.5 V.
The positive common-mode range is V+ less 1.5 V.
When a dc reference is used, a reference bypass capacitor is
recommended. A 5.0 V TTL logic supply is not recommended
as a reference. If a regulated power supply is used as a reference,
R14 must be split into two resistors with the junction bypassed
to ground with a 0.1 μF capacitor.
For most applications, the tight relationship between IREF and IFS
eliminates the need for trimming IREF. If required, full-scale
trimming can be accomplished by adjusting the value of R14, or
by using a potentiometer for R14. An improved method of fullscale trimming that eliminates potentiometer T.C. effects is shown
in the recommended full-scale adjustment circuit (Figure 27).
Using lower values of reference current reduces negative power
supply current and increases reference amplifier negative commonmode range. The recommended range for operation with a dc
reference current is 0.2 mA to 4.0 mA.
REFERENCE AMPLIFIER COMPENSATION FOR
MULTIPLYING APPLICATIONS
AC reference applications require the reference amplifier to be
compensated using a capacitor from Pin 16 to V−. The value of
this capacitor depends on the impedance presented to Pin 14;
for R14 values of 1.0 kΩ, 2.5 kΩ, and 5.0 kΩ, minimum values
of CC are 15 pF, 37 pF, and 75 pF. Larger values of R14 require
proportionately increased values of CC for proper phase margin,
so the ratio of CC (pF) to R14 (kΩ) = 15.
For fastest response to a pulse, low values of R14 enabling small
CC values must be used. If Pin 14 is driven by a high impedance
such as a transistor current source, none of the preceding values
suffice, and the amplifier must be heavily compensated, which
decreases overall bandwidth and slew rate. For R14 = 1 kΩ and
CC = 15 pF, the reference amplifier slews at 4 mA/μs, enabling a
transition from IREF = 0 to IREF = 2 mA in 500 ns.
Operation with pulse inputs to the reference amplifier can be
accommodated by an alternate compensation scheme. This
technique provides lowest full-scale transition times. An internal
clamp allows quick recovery of the reference amplifier from a
cutoff (IREF = 0) condition. Full-scale transition (0 mA to 2 mA)
occurs in 120 ns when the equivalent impedance at Pin 14 is 200 Ω
and CC = 0. This yields a reference slew rate of 16 mA/μs, which
is relatively independent of the RIN and VIN values.
LOGIC INPUTS
The DAC08 design incorporates a unique logic input circuit that
enables direct interface to all popular logic families and provides
maximum noise immunity. This feature is made possible by the
large input swing capability, 2 μA logic input current, and
completely adjustable logic threshold voltage. For V− = −15 V, the
logic inputs may swing between −10 V and +18 V. This enables
direct interface with 15 V CMOS logic, even when the DAC08
is powered from a 5 V supply. Minimum input logic swing and
minimum logic threshold voltage are given by
V− + (IREF × 1 kΩ) + 2.5 V
The logic threshold may be adjusted over a wide range by
placing an appropriate voltage at the logic threshold control pin
(Pin 1, VLC). Figure 16 shows the relationship between VLC and
VTH over the temperature range, with VTH nominally 1.4 above
VLC. For TTL and DTL interface, simply ground Pin 1. When
interfacing ECL, an IREF = 1 mA is recommended. For interfacing
other logic families, see Figure 32. For general set-up of the logic
control circuit, note that Pin 1 sources 100 μA typical; external
circuitry must be designed to accommodate this current.
Fastest settling times are obtained when Pin 1 sees a low
impedance. If Pin 1 is connected to a 1 kΩ divider, for example,
it must be bypassed to ground by a 0.01 μF capacitor.
ANALOG OUTPUT CURRENTS
Both true and complemented output sink currents are provided
where IO + IO = IFS. Current appears at the true (IO) output when
a 1 (logic high) is applied to each logic input. As the binary count
increases, the sink current at Pin 4 increases proportionally, in
the fashion of a positive logic DAC. When a 0 is applied to any
input bit, that current is turned off at Pin 4 and turned on at Pin 2.
A decreasing logic count increases IO as in a negative or inverted
logic DAC. Both outputs may be used simultaneously.
Rev. D | Page 14 of 21
Data Sheet
DAC08
If one of the outputs is not required, it must be connected to
ground or to a point capable of sourcing IFS; do not leave an
unused output pin open.
Both outputs have an extremely wide voltage compliance
enabling fast direct current to voltage conversion through a
resistor tied to ground or other voltage source. Positive compliance is 36 V above V− and is independent of the positive supply.
Negative compliance is given by
V− + (IREF × 1 kΩ) + 2.5 V
The dual outputs enable double the usual peak-to-peak load
swing when driving loads in quasi-differential fashion. This
feature is especially useful in cable driving, CRT deflection and
in other balanced applications such as driving center-tapped
coils and transformers.
POWER SUPPLIES
The DAC08 operates over a wide range of power supply voltages
from a total supply of 9 V to 36 V. When operating at supplies
of ±5 V or lower, IREF ≤ 1 mA is recommended. Low reference
current operation decreases power consumption and increases
negative compliance (Figure 11), reference amplifier negative
common-mode range (Figure 14), negative logic input range
(Figure 15), and negative logic threshold range (Figure 16). For
example, operation at −4.5 V with IREF = 2 mA is not recommended
because negative output compliance reduces to near zero.
Operation from lower supplies is possible; however, at least
8 V total must be applied to ensure turn on of the internal bias
network.
Symmetrical supplies are not required, as the DAC08 is quite
insensitive to variations in supply voltage. Battery operation is
feasible because no ground connection is required; however, an
artificial ground can ensure logic swings, etc., remain between
acceptable limits. Power consumption is calculated as follows:
PD = ( I + ) (V + ) + ( I − ) (V − )
A useful feature of the DAC08 design is that supply current is
constant and independent of input logic states. This is useful in
cryptographic applications and further reduces the size of the
power supply bypass capacitors.
TEMPERATURE PERFORMANCE
The nonlinearity and monotonicity specifications of the DAC08
are guaranteed to apply over the entire rated operating temperature
range. Full-scale output current drift is low, typically ±10 ppm/°C,
with zero-scale output current and drift essentially negligible
compared to 1/2 LSB.
The temperature coefficient of the reference resistor R14 must
match and track that of the output resistor for minimum overall
full-scale drift. Settling times of the DAC08 decrease approximately
10% at –55°C. At +125°C, an increase of about 15% is typical.
The reference amplifier must be compensated by using a capacitor
from Pin 16 to V−. For fixed reference operation, a 0.01 µF
capacitor is recommended. For variable reference applications,
refer to the Reference Amplifier Compensation for Multiplying
Applications section.
MULTIPLYING OPERATION
The DAC08 provides excellent multiplying performance with an
extremely linear relationship between IFS and IREF over a range of
4 µA to 4 mA. Monotonic operation is maintained over a typical
range of IREF from 100 µA to 4.0 mA.
SETTLING TIME
The DAC08 is capable of extremely fast settling times, typically
85 ns at IREF = 2.0 mA. Judicious circuit design and careful board
layout must obtain full performance potential during testing
and application. The logic switch design enables propagation
delays of only 35 ns for each of the 8 bits. Settling time to within
1/2 LSB of the LSB is therefore 35 ns, with each progressively
larger bit taking successively longer. The MSB settles in 85 ns, thus
determining the overall settling time of 85 ns. Settling to 6-bit
accuracy requires about 65 ns to 70 ns. The output capacitance
of the DAC08, including the package, is approximately 15 pF;
therefore the output RC time constant dominates settling time if
RL > 500 Ω.
Settling time and propagation delay are relatively insensitive to
logic input amplitude and rise and fall times, due to the high
gain of the logic switches. Settling time also remains essentially
constant for IREF values. The principal advantage of higher IREF
values lies in the ability to attain a given output level with lower
load resistors, thus reducing the output RC time constant.
Measuring the settling time requires the ability to accurately
resolve ±4 µA; therefore a 1 kΩ load is needed to provide adequate
drive for most oscilloscopes. The settling time fixture shown in
Figure 33 uses a cascade design to permit driving a 1 kΩ load
with less than 5 pF of parasitic capacitance at the measurement
node. At IREF values of less than 1.0 mA, excessive RC damping
of the output is difficult to prevent while maintaining adequate
sensitivity. However, the major carry from 01111111 to 10000000
provides an accurate indicator of settling time. This code change
does not require the normal 6.2 time constants to settle to within
±0.2% of the final value, and thus settling time is observed at
lower values of IREF.
DAC08 switching transients or “glitches” are very low and can
be further reduced by small capacitive loads at the output at a
minor sacrifice in settling time. Fastest operation can be obtained
by using short leads, minimizing output capacitance and load
resistor values, and by adequate bypassing at the supply, reference,
and VLC terminals. Supplies do not require large electrolytic bypass
capacitors because the supply current drain is independent of
input logic states; 0.1 µF capacitors at the supply pins provide
full transient protection.
