Features
Description
• Devices QML Qualified in Accordance with
MIL-PRF-38535
The HS-565ARH is a fast, radiation hardened 12-bit current output, digital-to-analog converter. The monolithic chip includes a
precision voltage reference, thin-film R-2R ladder, reference
control amplifier and twelve high-speed bipolar current
switches.
• Detailed Electrical and Screening Requirements
are Contained in SMD# 5962-96755 and Harris’ QM
Plan
• DAC and Reference on a Single Chip
• Pin Compatible with AD-565A and HI-565A
• Very High Speed: Settles to 0.50 LSB in 500ns Max
• Monotonicity Guaranteed Over Temperature
• 0.50 LSB Max Nonlinearity Guaranteed Over
Temperature
• Low Gain Drift (Max., DAC Plus Reference) 50ppm/oC
• Total Dose Hardness to 100K RAD
The Harris Semiconductor Dielectric Isolation process provides
latch-up free operation while minimizing stray capacitance and
leakage currents, to produce an excellent combination of speed
and accuracy. Also, ground currents are minimized to produce a
low and constant current through the ground terminal, which
reduces error due to code-dependent ground currents.
HS-565ARH die are laser trimmed for a maximum integral nonlinearity error of ±0.25 LSB at +25oC. In addition, the low noise buried zener reference is trimmed both for absolute value and minimum temperature coefficient.

ideal (1 LSB) voltage change for a one bit change in code. A
Differential Nonlinearity of ±1 LSB or less guarantees
monotonicity; i.e., the output always increases and never
decreases for an increasing input.
The HS-565ARH accepts digital input codes in binary format
and may be user connected for any one of three binary
codes. Straight binary, Two’s Complement (see note below),
or Offset Binary, (See Operating Instructions).

Settling Time
Settling time is the time required for the output to settle to
within the specified error band for any input code transition.
It is usually specified for a full scale or major carry transition,
settling to within 0.50 LSB of final value.

Drift
Gain Drift - The change in full scale analog output over the
specified temperature range expressed in parts per million of
full scale range per oC (ppm of FSR/oC). Gain error is
measured with respect to +25oC at high (TH) and low (TL)
temperatures. Gain drift is calculated for both high (TH - 25oC)
and low ranges (+25oC - TL) by dividing the gain error by the
respective change in temperature. The specification is the
larger of the two representing worst case drift.
NOTE: Invert MSB with external inverter to obtain Two’s
Complement Coding
Accuracy
Nonlinearity - Nonlinearity of a D/A converter is an important measure of its accuracy. It describes the deviation from
an ideal straight line transfer curve drawn between zero (all
bits OFF) and full scale (all bits ON).
Offset Drift - The change in analog output with all bits OFF
over the specified temperature range expressed in parts per
million of full scale range per oC (ppm of FSR/oC). Offset error
is measured with respect to +25oC at high (TH) and low (TL)
temperatures. Offset drift is calculated for both high (TH - 25oC)
and low (+25oC - TL) ranges by dividing the offset error by the
Differential Nonlinearity - For a D/A converter, it is the
difference between the actual output voltage change and the

respective change in temperature. The specification given is
the larger of the two, representing worst case drift.
No Trim Operation
The HS-565ARH will perform as specified without calibration
adjustments. To operate without calibration, substitute 50Ω
resistors for the 100Ω trimming potentiometers: In Figure 3
replace R2 with 50Ω; also remove the network on pin 8 and
connect 50Ω to ground. For bipolar operation in Figure 4,
replace R3 and R4 with 50Ω resistors.
Power Supply Sensitivity
Power Supply Sensitivity is a measure of the change in gain
and offset of the D/A converter resulting from a change in -15V
or +15V supplies. It is specified under DC conditions and
expressed as parts per million of full scale range per percent of
change in power supply (ppm of FSR/%).
With these changes, performance is guaranteed as shown
under Specifications, “External Adjustments”. Typical
unipolar zero will be ±0.50 LSB plus the op amp offset.
Compliance
Compliance Voltage is the maximum output voltage range
that can be tolerated and still maintain its specified accuracy.
Compliance Limit implies functional operation only and
makes no claims to accuracy.
The feedback capacitor C must be selected to minimize
settling time.
Glitch
R4
100Ω
A glitch on the output of a D/A converter is a transient spike
resulting from unequal internal ON-OFF switching times.
Worst case glitches usually occur at half scale or the major
carry code transition from 011 . . . 1 to 100 . . . 0 or vice
versa. For example, if turn ON is greater than turn OFF for
011 . . . 1 to 100 . . . 0, an intermediate state of 000 . . . 0
exists, such that, the output momentarily glitches toward
zero output. Matched switching times and fast switching will
reduce glitches considerably.

Calibration is a two step process for each of the five output
ranges shown in Table 7. First adjust the negative full scale
(zero for unipolar ranges). This is an offset adjust which
translates the output characteristic, i.e. affects each code by
the same amount.

For the bipolar ranges, this approach leaves an error at the
zero code, whose maximum values is the same as for
integral nonlinearity error. In general, only two values of
output may be calibrated exactly; all others must tolerate
some error. Choosing the extreme end points (plus and
minus full scale) minimizes this distributed error for all other
codes.

Calibration provides the maximum accuracy from a
converter by adjusting its gain and offset errors to zero, For
the HS-565ARH, these adjustments are similar whether the
current output is used, or whether an external op amp is
added to convert this current to a voltage. Refer to Table 7
for the voltage output case, along with Figure 3 or 4.

The HS-565ARH’s current output may be converted to
voltage using the standard connections shown in Figures 3
and 4. The choice of operational amplifier should be
reviewed for each application, since a significant trade-off

HS-565ARH
Settling Time
This is a challenging measurement, in which the result
depends on the method chosen, the precision and quality of
test equipment and the operating configuration of the DAC
(test conditions). As a result, the different techniques in use
by converter manufacturers can lead to consistently different
results. An engineer should understand the advantage and
limitations of a given test methods before using the specified
settling time as a basis for design.
(Cases (b) and (c) may be eliminated unless the overshoot
exceeds 0.50 LSB). For example, refer to Figures 5A and5B
for the measurement of case (d).
Procedure
As shown in Figure 5B, settling time equals tX plus the
comparator delay (tD = 15ns). To measure tX,
• Adjust the delay on generator number 2 for a tX of several
microseconds. This assures that the DAC output has
settled to its final wave.
The approach used for several years at Harris calls for a
strobed comparator to sense final perturbations of the DAC
output waveform. This gives the LSB a reasonable
magnitude (814mV for the HS-565ARH, which provides the
comparator with enough overdrive to establish an accurate
±0.50 LSB window about the final settled value. Also, the
required test conditions simulate the DACs environment for a
common application - use in a successive approximation A/
D converter. Considerable experience has shown this to be a
reliable and repeatable way to measure settling time.
• Switch on the LSB (+5V)
• Adjust the VLSB supply for 50% triggering at COMPARATOR OUT. This is indicated by traces of equal brightness
on the oscilloscope display as shown in Figure 5B. Note
DVM reading.
• Switch to LSB to Pulse (P)
• Readjust the VLSB supply for 50% triggering as before,
and note DVM reading. One LSB equals one tenth the
difference in the DVM readings noted above.
The usual specification is based on a 10V step, produced
by simultaneously switching all bits from off-to-on (tON) or
on-to-off (tOFF). The slower of the two cases is specified,
as measured from 50% of the digital input transition to the
final entry within a window of 0.50 LSB about the settled
value. Four measurements characterize a given type of
DAC:
• Adjust the VLSB supply to reduce the DVM reading by
5 LSBs (DVM reads 10X, so this sets the comparator
to sense the final settled value minus 0.50 LSB). Comparator output disappears.
(a) tON, to final value +0.50 LSB
• Reduce generator number 2 delay until comparator output
reappears, and adjust for “equal brightness”.
(b) tON, to final value -0.50 LSB
• Measure tX from scope as shown in Figure 5B. Settling
time equals tX + tD, i.e. tX + 15ns.
(c) tOFF, to final value +0.50 LSB
(d) OFF, to final value -0.50 LSB

Other Considerations
Grounds
Layout
The HS-565ARH has two ground terminals, pin 5 (REF GND)
and pin 12 (PWR GND). These should not be tied together
near the package unless that point is also the system signal
ground to which all returns are connected. (If such a point
exists, then separate paths are required to pins 5 and 12).
Connections to pin 9 (IOUT) on the HS-565ARH are most critical for high speed performance. Output capacitance of the
DAC is only 20pF, so a small change of additional capacitance
may alter the op amp’s stability and affect settling time. Connections to pin 9 should be short and few. Component leads
should be short on the side connecting to pin 9 (as for feedback capacitor C). See the Settling Time section.
The current through pin 5 is near zero DC (Note); but pin 12
carries up to 1.75mA of code - dependent current from bits
1, 2, and 3. The general rule is to connect pin 5 directly to
the system “quiet” point, usually called signal or analog
ground. Connect pin 12 to the local digital or power ground.
Then, of course, a single path must connect the analog/
signal and digital/power grounds.
Bypass Capacitors
Power supply bypass capacitors on the op amp will serve the
HS-565ARH also. If no op amp is used, a 0.01µF ceramic
capacitor from each supply terminal to pin 12 is sufficient,
since supply current variations are small.
NOTE: Current cancellation is a two step process within the HS565ARH in which code dependent variations are eliminated,
the resulting DC current is supplied internally. First an
auxiliary 9-bit R-2R ladder is driven by the complement of the
DACs input code. Together, the main and auxiliary ladders
draw a continuous 2.25mA from the internal ground node, regardless of input code. Part of the DC current is supplied by
the zener voltage reference, and the remainder is sourced
from the positive supply via a current mirror which is laser
trimmed for zero current through the external terminal (pin 5).
