Features
Description
• CMOS/SOS Low Power
The CA3338 family are CMOS/SOS high speed R2R voltage
output digital-to-analog converters. They can operate from a
single +5V supply, at video speeds, and can produce
“rail-to-rail” output swings. Internal level shifters and a pin for
an optional second supply provide for an output range below
digital ground. The data complement control allows the inversion of input data while the latch enable control provides
either feedthrough or latched operation. Both ends of the
R2R ladder network are available externally and may be
modulated for gain or offset adjustments. In addition, “glitch”
energy has been kept very low by segmenting and thermometer encoding of the upper 3 bits.

The digital inputs (LE, COMP, and D0 - D7) are of TTL
compatible HCT High Speed CMOS design: the loading is
essentially capacitive and the logic threshold is typically
1.5V.
The 8 data bits, D0 (weighted 20) through D7 (weighted 27),
are applied to Exclusive OR gates (see Functional Diagram).
The COMP (data complement) control provides the second
input to the gates: if COMP is high, the data bits will be
inverted as they pass through.
The input data and the LE (latch enable) signals are next
applied to a level shifter. The inputs, operating between the
levels of VDD and VSS , are shifted to operate between VDD
and VEE . VEE optionally at ground or at a negative voltage,
will be discussed under bipolar operation. All further logic
elements except the output drivers operate from the VDD
and VEE supplies.
The upper 3 bits of data, D5 through D7, are input to a 3-to-7
line bar graph encoder. The encoder outputs and D0 through
D4 are applied to a feedthrough latch, which is controlled by
LE (latch enable).

In unipolar operation, VREF- would typically be returned to
analog ground, but may be raised above ground (see specifications). There is substantial code dependent current that
flows from VREF+ to VREF - (see VREF+ input current in
specifications), so VREF - should have a low impedance path
to ground.

In bipolar operation, VREF - would be returned to a negative
voltage (the maximum voltage rating to VDD must be
observed). VEE , which supplies the gate potential for the
output drivers, must be returned to a point at least as negative as VREF -. Note that the maximum clocking speed
decreases when the bipolar mode is used.

Static Characteristics
The ideal 8-bit D/A would have an output equal to VREF - with
an input code of 00HEX (zero scale output), and an output
equal to 255/256 of VREF+ (referred to VREF -) with an input
code of FFHEX (full scale output). The difference between the
ideal and actual values of these two parameters are the OFFSET and GAIN errors, respectively; see Figure 3.

If the code into an 8-bit D/A is changed by 1 count, the output
should change by 1/255 (full scale output - zero scale output). A
deviation from this step size is a differential linearity error, see
Figure 4. Note that the error is expressed in fractions of the
ideal step size (usually called an LSB). Also note that if the (-)
differential linearity error is less (in absolute numbers) than 1
LSB, the device is monotonic. (The output will always increase
for increasing code or decrease for decreasing code).

FIGURE 2. DATA AND LATCH ENABLE TO OUTPUT TIMING
Latch Operation
Data is fed from input to output while LE is low: LE should be
tied low for non-clocked operation.
Non-clocked operation or changing data while LE is low is
not recommended for applications requiring low output
“glitch” energy: there is no guarantee of the simultaneous
changing of input data or the equal propagation delay of all
bits through the converter. Several parameters are given if
the converter is to be used in either of these modes: tD2
gives the delay from the input changing to the output changing (10%), while tSU2 and tH give the set up and hold times
(referred to LE rising edge) needed to latch data. See
Figures 1 and 2.
If the code into an 8-bit D/A is at any value, say “N”, the output
voltage should be N/255 of the full scale output (referred to the
zero scale output). Any deviation from that output is an integral
linearity error, usually expressed in LSBs. See Figure 4.
Note that OFFSET and GAIN errors do not affect integral
linearity, as the linearity is referenced to actual zero and full
scale outputs, not ideal. Absolute accuracy would have to
also take these errors into account.
Clocked operation is needed for low “glitch” energy use.
Data must meet the given tSU1 set up time to the LE falling
edge, and the tH hold time from the LE rising edge. The
delay to the output changing, tD1 , is now referred to the LE
falling edge.
There is no need for a square wave LE clock; LE must only
meet the minimum tW pulse width for successful latch operation. Generally, output timing (desired accuracy of settling)
sets the upper limit of usable clock frequency.
Output Structure
The latches feed data to a row of high current CMOS drivers,
which in turn feed a modified R2R ladder network.
The “N” channel (pull down) transistor of each driver plus the
bottom “2R” resistor are returned to VREF - this is the (-) fullscale reference. The “P” channel (pull up) transistor of each
driver is returned to VREF+, the (+) full-scale reference.

“Glitch” energy is defined as a spurious voltage that occurs as
the output is changed from one voltage to another. In a binary
input converter, it is usually highest at the most significant bit
transition (7FHEX to 80HEX for an 8 bit device), and can be
measured by displaying the output as the input code alternates around that point. The “glitch” energy is the area
between the actual output display and an ideal one LSB step
voltage (subtracting negative area from positive), at either the
positive or negative-going step. It is usually expressed in pV/s.

The CA3338 uses a modified R2R ladder, where the 3 most
significant bits drive a bar graph decoder and 7 equally
weighted resistors. This makes the “glitch” energy at each 1/8
scale transition (1FHEX to 20HEX , 3FHEX to 40HEX , etc.)
essentially equal, and far less than the MSB transition would
otherwise display.
For the purpose of comparison to other converters, the output
should be resistively divided to 1V full scale. Figure 5 shows a
typical hook-up for checking “glitch” energy or settling time.
FIGURE 4. D/A INTEGRAL AND DIFFERENTIAL LINEARITY

Dynamic Characteristics
Keeping the full-scale range (VREF+ - VREF -) as high as
possible gives the best linearity and lowest “glitch” energy
(referred to 1V). This provides the best “P” and “N” channel
gate drives (hence saturation resistance) and propagation
The settling time of the A/D is mainly a function of the output
resistance (approximately 160Ω in parallel with the load resistance) and the load plus internal chip capacitance. Both
“glitch” energy and settling time measurements require very
good circuit and probe grounding: a probe tip connector such
as Tektronix part number 131-0258-00 is recommended.

During operation near the maximum supply voltage limit,
care should be taken to avoid or suppress power supply
turn-on and turn-off transients, power supply ripple, or
ground noise; any of these conditions must not cause the
absolute maximum ratings to be exceeded.

Applications
The output of the CA3338 can be resistively divided to match a
doubly terminated 50Ω or 75Ω line, although peak-to-peak
swings of less than 1V may result. The output magnitude will
also vary with the converter’s output impedance. Figure 5
shows such an application. Note that because of the HCT input
structure, the CA3338 could be operated up to +7.5V VDD and
VREF+ supplies and still accept 0V to 5V CMOS input voltages.
If larger voltage swings or better accuracy is desired, a high
speed output buffer, such as the HA-5033, HA-2542, or
CA3450, can be employed. Figure 6 shows a typical application, with the output capable of driving ±2V into multiple 50Ω
terminated lines.
10-17
To prevent damage to the input protection circuit, input
signals should never be greater than VDD nor less than
VSS . Input currents must not exceed 20mA even when
the power supply is off.
Unused Inputs
A connection must be provided at every input terminal. All
unused input terminals must be connected to either VCC
or GND, whichever is appropriate.
