DESCRIPTION
The DAC8806, a multiplying digital-to-analog
converter (DAC), is designed to operate from a single
2.7 V to 5.5 V supply.
The applied external reference input voltage VREF
determines the full-scale output current. An internal
feedback resistor (RFB) provides temperature tracking
for the full-scale output when combined with an
external, current-to-voltage (I/V) precision amplifier.
A
parallel
interface
offers
high-speed
communications. The DAC8806 is packaged in a
space-saving SSOP-28 package and has an
industry-standard pinout.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The DAC8806 is a multiplying, single-channel current output, 14-bit DAC. The architecture, illustrated in
Figure 38, is an R-2R ladder configuration with the three MSBs segmented. Each 2R leg of the ladder is either
switched to GND or to the IOUT terminal. The IOUT terminal of the DAC is held at a virtual GND potential by the
use of an external I/V converter op amp. The R-2R ladder is connected to an external reference input (VREF) that
determines the DAC full-scale current. The R-2R ladder presents a code independent load impedance to the
external reference of 6 kΩ ±25%. The external reference voltage can vary in a range of –10 V to +10 V, thus
providing bipolar IOUT current operation. By using an external I/V converter op amp and the RFB resistor in the
DAC8806, an output voltage range of –VREF to +VREF can be generated.

The DAC output voltage is determined by VREF and the digital data (D) according to Equation 1:
D

(1)
Each DAC code determines the 2R-leg switch position to either GND or IOUT. The external I/V converter op amp
noise gain will also change because the DAC output impedance (as seen looking into the IOUT terminal) changes
versus code. Because of this, the external I/V converter op amp must have a sufficiently low offset voltage such
that the amplifier offset is not modulated by the DAC IOUT terminal impedance change. External op amps with
large offset voltages can produce INL errors in the transfer function of the DAC8806 because of offset
modulation versus DAC code. For best linearity performance of the DAC8806, an op amp (OPA277) is
recommended; see Figure 39. This circuit allows VREF to swing from –10 V to +10 V.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Multiplying Mode THD versus Frequency
Figure 35 and Figure 36 show the DAC8806 bipolar 4-quadrant multiplying mode total harmonic distortion (THD)
versus frequency. Figure 35 shows the bipolar mode THD with the DAC8806 set to a full-scale code of 3FFFh.
Figure 36 shows the bipolar multiplying mode THD with the DAC8806 set to a minus full-scale code of 0000h. In
both graphs, two OPA627s are used for both the DAC output op amp and the reference inverting amplifier. A 6
VRMS sine wave is used for the reference input VREF and is swept in frequency from 10 Hz to 30 kHz. The THD
levels versus frequency are illustrated at various DAC output filtering levels using an external ac-coupled
low-pass filter.
Figure 37 illustrates the DAC8806 unipolar 2-quadrant multiplying mode THD versus frequency. The DAC8806 is
set to a full-scale code of 3FFFh. A single OPA627 is used for the DAC output op amp.
Stability Circuit
For a current-to-voltage (I/V) design, as shown in Figure 41, the DAC8806 current output (IOUT) and the
connection with the inverting node of the op amp should be as short as possible and laid out according to correct
printed circuit board (PCB) layout design. For each code change there is a step function. If the gain bandwidth
product (GBP) of the op amp is limited and parasitic capacitance is excessive at the inverting node, then gain
peaking is possible. Therefore, a compensation capacitor C1 (4 pF to 20 pF, typ) can be added to the design for
circuit stability, as shown in Figure 41.

Bipolar Output Circuit
The DAC8806, as a 4-quadrant multiplying DAC, can be used to generate a bipolar output. The polarity of the
full-scale output (IOUT) is the inverse of the input reference voltage at VREF.
Using a dual op amp, such as the OPA2277, full 4-quadrant operation can be achieved with minimal
components. Figure 42 demonstrates a ±10 VOUT circuit with a fixed +10 V reference.

Figure 42. Bipolar Output Circuit
Programmable Current Source Circuit
A DAC8806 can be integrated into the circuit in Figure 43 to implement an improved Howland current pump for
precise V/I conversions. Bidirectional current flow and high-voltage compliance are two features of the circuit.
With a matched resistor network, the load current of the circuit is shown by Equation 3:
(R2 ) R3)ńR1
IL +
VREF D
R3
(3)
The value of R3 in the previous equation can be reduced to increase the output current drive of U3. U3 can drive
±20 mA in both directions with voltage compliance limited up to 15 V by the U3 voltage supply. Elimination of the
circuit compensation capacitor (C1) in the circuit is not suggested as a result of the change in the output
impedance (ZO), according to Equation 4:
R1ȀR3(R1 ) R2)
ZO +
R1(R2Ȁ ) R3Ȁ) * R1Ȁ(R2 ) R3)
(4)
As shown in Equation 4, ZO with matched resistors is infinite and the circuit is optimum for use as a current
source. However, if unmatched resistors are used, ZO is positive or negative with negative output impedance
being a potential cause of oscillation. Therefore, by incorporating C1 into the circuit, possible oscillation problems
are eliminated. The value of C1 can be determined for critical applications; for most applications, however, a
value of several pF is suggested.
