12-Bit Binary Multiplying D A Converter
General Description
The DAC1020and the DAC1220are respectively 10and 12-bit binary multiplying digital-to-analog converters A de-posited thin film R-2R resistor ladder divides the reference current and provides the circuit with excellent temperature tracking characteristics (0 0002% C linearity error temper-ature coefficient maximum) The circuit uses CMOS current switches and drive circuitry to achieve low power consump-tion (30mW max)and low output leakages (200nA max) The digital inputs are compatible with DTL TTL logic levels as well as full CMOS logic level swings This part combined with an external amplifier and voltage reference can be used as a standard D A converter however it is also very attractive for multiplying applications (such as digitally con-trolled gain blocks)since its linearity error is essentially in-dependent of the voltage reference All inputs are protected from damage due to static discharge by diode clamps to V a and ground
This part is available with 10-bit (0 05%) 9-bit (0 10%) and 8-bit (0 20%)non-linearity guaranteed over temperature

Typical Applications
The following applications are also valid for12-bit systems using the DAC1220and2additional digital inputs Operational Amplifier Bias Current(Figure3)
The op amp bias current I b flows through the15k internal feedback resistor BI-FET op amps have low I b and there-fore the15k c I b error they introduce is negligible they are strongly recommended for the DAC1020applications
V OS Considerations
The output impedance R OUT of the DAC is modulated by the digital input code which causes a modulation of the op-erational amplifier output offset It is therefore recommend-ed to adjust the op amp V OS R OUT is E15k if more than4 digital inputs are high R OUT is E45k if a single digital input is high and R OUT approaches infinity if all inputs are low Operational Amplifier V OS Adjust(Figure3)
Connect all digital inputs A1–A10 to ground and adjust the potentiometer to bring the op amp V OUT pin to within g1 mV from ground potential If V REF is less than10V a finer V OS adjustment is required It is helpful to increase the reso-lution of the V OS adjust procedure by connecting a1k X resistor between the inverting input of the op amp to ground After V OS has been adjusted remove the1k X Full-Scale Adjust(Figure4)
Switch high all the digital inputs A1–A10 and measure the op amp output voltage Use a500X potentiometer as shown to bring ll V OUT ll to a voltage equal to V REF c 1023 1024

By doubling the output range we get half the resolution
The 10M resistor adds a 1LSB ‘‘thump’’ to
allow full offset binary operation where the out-put reaches zero for the half-scale code If
symmetrical output excursions are required omit the 10M resistor

Assuming that the external 10k resistors are matched to better than 0 1% the gain adjust of the circuit is the same with the one previously discussed

Definition of Terms
Resolution Resolution is defined as the reciprocal of the number of discrete steps in the D A output It is directly related to the number of switches or bits within the D A For example the DAC1020has 210or 1024steps while the DAC1220has 212or 4096steps Therefore the DAC1020has 10-bit resolution while the DAC1220has 12-bit resolu-tion
Linearity Error Linearity error is the maximum deviation from a straight line passing through the endpoints of the D A transfer characteristic It is measured after calibrating for zero (see V OS adjust in typical applications)and full-scale Linearity error is a design parameter intrinsic to the device and cannot be externally adjusted
Power Supply Sensitivity Power supply sensitivity is a measure of the effect of power supply changes on the D A full-scale output
Settling Time Full-scale settling time requires a zero to full-scale or full-scale to zero output change Settling time is the time required from a code transition until the D A output reaches within g LSB of final output value
Full-Scale Error Full-scale error is a measure of the output error between an ideal D A and the actual device output Ideally for the DAC1020full-scale is V REF b 1LSB For V REF e 10V and unipolar operation V FULL-SCA-LE e 10 0000V 9 8mV e 9 9902V Full-scale error is ad-justable to zero as shown in Figure 5

(b)By shifting the full-scale calibration on of the DAC of
Figure (b1)we could pass the ‘‘best straight line’’(b2)test and meet the g linearity error specification
Note (a) (b1)and (b2)above illustrate the difference between ‘‘end point’’National’s linearity test (a)and ‘‘best straight line’’test Note that both devices in (a)and (b2)meet the g LSB linearity error specification but the end point test is a more ‘‘real life’’way of characterizing the DAC
