They incorporate state-of-the-art performance in a miniature package, achieving maximum output settling times of 25ns for the 8 and 10-bit models and 50ns for the 12-bit model. They can be used to drive a resistor load directly for up to ±1V output or a fast operational ampifier (such as DATEL’s AM-500) for higher voltage outputs with sub-microsecond settling times. A tapped feedback resistor and a bipolar offset resistor are included internally to give five programmable output voltage ranges with an external operational amplifier. The DAC-HF design combines proven hybrid construction techniques with advanced circuit design to realize high-speed current switching. The design incorporates fast PNP current switches driving a low-impedance R-2R thin-film ladder network. The nichrome thin-film resistor network is deposited by electron beam evaporation on a lowcapacitance substrate to assure high-speed performance. The resistors are then functionally trimmed by laser for optimum linearity.

DATEL • TECHNICAL NOTES 2. Use of a ground plane is particularly important in highspeed D/A converters as it reduces high-frequency noise and aids in decoupling the digital inputs from the analog output. Avoid ground loop problems by connecting all grounds on the board to the ground plane. The remainder of the ground plane should include as much of the circuit board as possible. 3. When the converter is configured for voltage output with an external operational amplifier, keep the leads from the converter to the output amplifier as short as possible. 4. The high-speed current switching technique used in the DAC-HF Series inherently reduces the amplitude and duration of large transient spikes at the output (“glitches”). The most severe glitches occur at half-scale, the major carry transition from 011 … 1 to 100 … 0 or vice versa. At this time, a skewing of the input codes can create a transition state code of 111 … 1. The duration of the “transition state code” is dependent on the degree of skewing, but its effect is dependent on the speed of the DAC (an ultra-fast DAC will respond to these brief spurious inputs to a greater degree than a slow DAC). Minimize the effects of input skewing by using a highspeed input register to match input switching times. The input register recommended for use with the DAC-HF is easily implemented with two Texas Instruments SN74S174 hex D-type flip-flops. This register will reduce glitches to a very low level and ensure fast output settling times. to –10V Output Resistance UNITS Volts Volts Volts Volts 1. Proper operation of the DAC-HF Series converters is dependent on good board layout and connection practices. Bypass supplies as shown in the connection diagrams. Mount bypass capacitors close to the converter, directly to the supply pins where possible. PERFORMANCE Gain Tempco, max.

Test the DAC-HF using a low-capacitance test probe (such as a 10X probe). Take care to assure the shortest possible connection between probe ground and circuit ground. Long probe ground leads may pick up environmental E.M.I. causing artifacts on the scope display, i.e., signals that do not originate at the unit under test. 6. Passive components used with the DAC-HF may be as indicated here: 0.1μF and 1μF bypass capacitors should be ceramic type and tantalum type respectively; the 400Ω output load is a ±0.1%, 10ppm/°C, metal-film type; adjustment potentiometers are ceremet types; other resistors may be ±10% carbon composition types. 7. Output voltage compliance is ±1.2V to preserve the linearity of the converter. In the bipolar mode, the DAC-HF can be operated with no load to give an output voltage of ±1.0V. In the unipolar mode, the load resistance must be less than 600Ω to give less than +1.2V output. The specified output currents of 0 to +5mA and ±2.5mA are measured into a short circuit or an operational amplifier summing junction. 11 Cabot Boulevard, Mansfield, MA 02048-1151 USA • Tel: (508) 339-3000 • www.datel.com • e-mail: [email protected] MDA_DAC-HF.B05 Page 2 of 5 ® DAC-HF ® Ultra-Fast, 8/10/12-Bit Digital-to-Analog Converters CALIBRATION PROCEDURE + 0.1μF Unipolar Output Current +15V 1μF +15V 1.
