The DAC-8841 consumes only 95 mW froir a -1-5 V power sup
ply. For dual polarity applications see the DAC-8840 which pro
vides full 4-quadrant-multiplying ±3 V signal capability while
operating from ±5 V power supplies.

The DAC-8841 provides eight general purpose digitally controDed
voltage adjustment devices. The TrimDAC™ capability replaces
the mechanical trimmer function in new designs. It is ideal for
ac or dc gain control of up to 1 MHz bandwidth signals.
SO
Internally the DAC-8841 contains eight voltage output CMOS
digital-to-analog converters, each wi± separate reference inputs.
Each DAC has its own DAC register which holds its output
state. These DAC registers are updated from an internal serialto-parallel shift register which is loaded from a standard 3-wire
serial input digital interface. Twelve data bits make up the data
word clocked into the serial input register. This data word is
The DAC-8841 is available in 24-pin plastic DIP, cerdip, and
SOIC-24 packages. For MIL-STD/883 applications, contact
ADI sales for the DAC-8841BW/883 data sheet which specifies
operation over -55®C to 4-125°C.

DAC-8841
The DAC-8841 is a general purpose multiple-channel ac or do
signal level adjustment device designed to replace potentiometers
used in the three-terminal connection mode. Eight independent
channels of programmable signal level control are available in
this 24-pin package device. The outputs are completely buffered
providing up to 5 mA of drive current to drive external loads.
The DAG and amplifier combination shown in Figure 18 pro
During system power up a logic low on the preset PR pin forces
all DAC registers to 80^ which in turn forces all the buffer am
plifier outputs to equal half-scale. The transfer equation (1)
shows that in the preset condition (80h) that Vqut will equal
ViN. The asynchronous PR input pin can be activated at any
time to force the DAC registers to the half-scale code 80h. This
is generally the most convenient place to start for general pur
pose adjustment applications.

supply, analog inputs to +1.5 V which generate outputs to

Notice that the output polarity is the same as the input polarity
when the DAC register is loaded with 255 (in binary = all
ones). Also note that the output does not exactly equal two
times the input voltage. This is a result of the R-2R ladder DAC
chosen. When the DAC register is loaded with 0, the output is
VrefL. The acmal voltage measured when setting up a DAC in
this example will vary within the ± 1 LSB linearity error specifi
cation of the DAC-8841. The actual voltage error would be
±0.012 V.

Quadrant Multiplication
In order to be easy to use with a controlling microprocessor, a
simplelayout-efficient three-wire serial data interface was cho
sen. This interface can be easily adapted to almost all microcom
puter and microprocessor systems. A clock (CLK), serial data
input (SDI) and a load(LD) strobe pin make up the three-wire
interface. The 12-bitinput data word used to change the value
of the internal DAC registerscontains a 4-bit address and 8-bits
of data. Using this combination, any DAC registercan be
changed without disturbing the other devices. A serialdata out
put (SDO) pin simplifies cascading multiple DAC-8841s without
adding address decoder chips to the system.
amplifier functions down to groimd, but the output stage cannot
pull lower than the internal ground voltage. When a DAC out
put tries to output a voltage at or below the internal ground po
tential, it saturates and appears like a 50 fl resistor to ground.
The typical saturation voltage appearing at the output is 20 mV,
see Figure 9. The 100 mV worst case zero-scale voltage specifi
cation reflects this saturation effect, including the worst case
anticipated variationof the internal ground resistances, quies
cent currents and buffer sinking current. Linearity is measured
betweencode 8io and code 255^0 to avoid this samration effect.
In summary, the transfer function of each DAC will be a
straight line from code 8 to code 255 when VrefL = 0 V. For
input codes 0 to 7, some DAC outputs will be satiurated in the
zero-scale output voltage region; therefore, changing digjtal code
0 to 1 may not change the output voltage when VrefL - 0 V.

SIGNAL INPUTS (V,nA, B, C, D, E, F, G, H)
The eight independent
inputs have a code dependent input
resistance whose worst case minimum value is specified in the
electrical characteristics table. Use a suitable amplifier capable of
driving this input resistance in parallel with the specified input
capacitance. These reference inputs are designed to receive not
only dc, but ac input voltages. This results from the incorpora
tion of a true bilateral analog switch in the DAC design, see
Figure 19. The DAC switch operation has been designed to op
X<
erate in the break-before-make format to minimize transient
loading of the inputs. The reference input voltage range can op
erate from ground (GND) to 1.5 V. That is, the operating input
voltage range, when VnEpL —0 V, is:

DAC OUTPUTS (VoutA, B, C, D, E, F, G, H)
The eight D/A converter outputs are fiilly buffered by the DAC8841s internal amplifier. This amplifier is designed to drive up
to 1 kfl loads in parallel with 200 pF. However in order to min
imize internal device power consumption, it is recommended
whenever possible to use larger values of load resistance. The
amplifier output stage can handle shorts to GND; however, care
should be taken to avoid continuous short circuit operation. See
Figure 16 "DAC output current versus VqutX" graph.

The amplifier output is guaranteed to operate to within 2 V of
Vdd under all load conditions and temperature. Figure 8 shows
typical operation to positive output saturation with a 5 mA load.
Figure 19. DAC-8841 TrimDAC Equivalent Circuit
(One Channel)
The reference inputs can withstand input voltages up to V^d;
however due to the internal amplifier's gain of two configura
tion, the output voltage of the circuit reaches its maximum spec
ified value of 3 V when the input voltage equals 1.5 V and
VrefL = 0 V; see Figure 18.

The low output impedance of the buffers minimizes crosstalk
between analog input channels. At 100 kHz 70 dB of channelto-channel isoladon exists. It is recommended to use good cir
cuit layout practice such as guard traces between analog
channels and power supply bypass capacitors. A 0.01 jaF ce
ramic in parallel with a 1-10 |xF tantulum capacitor provides a
good power supply bypass for most frequencies encountered.
O
The reference low input VrepL is the bottom end of the DAC
(see Figture 18). This input is normally tied to ground; however
it can be biased above ground. When VpppL is biased above
ground, its value and that of Vip,X should be chosen in agree
ment with Equation 3.

Also for the general case the headroom restriction to Vpo for
VjnX and VrefL is given by Equation 4.
V^pL <

According to the above equations, the DAC-8841 can only be
operated under certain combinations of Vj^X and VrefL. The
shaded area in Figure 20 defines the theoretical allowable ranges
of operation. Note that VrefL can be biased higher than Vj^jX.
Linearity will vary with the reference voltages and supply condi
tions. If a symmetrical output ac signal is desired, then the sym
metrical ac input on VinX should be offset to VpEpL. The
output signal will then be with respect to VrefL.
The four digital input pins (CLK, SDI, LD, PR) of the DAC8841 were designed for TTL and 5 V CMOS logic compatibil
ity. The SDO output pin offers good fanout in CMOS logic
applications and can easily drive several DAC-8841s.
The Logic Control Input Truth Table II describes how to shift
data into the internal 12-bit serial input register. Note that the
CLK is a positive edge-sensitive input. If mechanical switches
are used for breadboard, product evaluation they should be debounced by a flipflop or other suitable means.
The required address plus data input format is defined in the
Serial Input Decode Table I. Note there are 8 address states
that result in no operation (NOP) or activity in the DAC-8841
when the active high load strobe LD is activated. This NOP can
be used in cascaded applications where only one DAC out of
several packages needs updating. It takes 12 clocks on the CLK

pin to fully load the serial input shift register. Data on the SDI
input pin is subject to the timing diagram (Figure 1) data setup
and data hold time requirements. After the twelfth clock pulse,
the processor needs to activate the LD strobe to have the DAC8841 decode the serial register contents and update the target
DAG register with the 8-bit data word. This needs to be done
before the thirteenth positive clock edge. The timing require
