GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7390/AD7391 family of 10-bit and 12-bit voltageoutput digital-to-analog converters is designed to operate
from a single 3 V supply. Built using a CBCMOS process,
these monolithic DACs offer the user low cost, and ease-of-use
in single-supply 3 V systems. Operation is guaranteed over the
supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V consuming less than 100 µA
making this device ideal for battery operated applications.
The full-scale voltage output is determined by the external
reference input voltage applied. The rail-to-rail REFIN to
DACOUT allows for a full-scale voltage set equal to the positive
supply VDD or any value in between.
A doubled-buffered serial-data interface offers high-speed,
3-wire, SPI and microcontroller compatible inputs using data
in (SDI), clock (CLK) and load strobe (LD) pins. Additionally, a CLR input sets the output to zero scale at power on or
upon user demand.
Both parts are offered in the same pinout to allow users to select
the amount of resolution appropriate for their application without
circuit card redesign.
The AD7390/AD7391 are specified over the extended industrial
(40°C to 85°C) temperature range. The AD7391AR is
specified for the 40°C to 125°C automotive temperature
range. The AD7390/AD7391s are available in plastic DIP, and
low profile 1.75 mm height SO-8 surface mount packages. The
AD7391ARU is available for ultracompact applications in a thin
1.1 mm TSSOP-8 package.

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although
the AD7390/AD7391 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur
on devices subjected to high-energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions
are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

AD7390/AD7391
OPERATION
VDD
The AD7390 and AD7391 are a set of pin compatible, 12-bit/
10-bit digital-to-analog converters. These single-supply operation devices consume less than 100 microamps of current while
operating from power supplies in the 2.7 V to 5.5 V range making them ideal for battery operated applications. They contain a
voltage-switched, 12-bit/10-bit, laser-trimmed digital-to-analog
converter, rail-to-rail output op amps, serial-input register, and
a DAC register. The external reference input has constant input
resistance independent of the digital code setting of the DAC.
In addition, the reference input can be tied to the same supply
voltage as VDD resulting in a maximum output voltage span of
0 to VDD. The SPI compatible, serial-data interface consists of
a serial data input (SDI), clock (CLK), and load (LD) pins.
A CLR pin is available to reset the DAC register to zero-scale.
This function is useful for power-on reset or system failure
recovery to a known state.
The rail-to-rail output stage provides ± 1 mA of output current.
The N-channel output pull-down MOSFET shown in Figure 5
has a 35 Ω ON resistance, which sets the sink current capability
near ground. In addition to resistive load driving capability, the
amplifier has also been carefully designed and characterized for
up to 100 pF capacitive load driving capability.

The reference input terminal has a constant input-resistance
independent of digital code which results in reduced glitches on
the external reference voltage source. The high 2 MΩ inputresistance minimizes power dissipation within the AD7390/
AD7391 D/A converters. The VREF input accepts input voltages
ranging from ground to the positive-supply voltage VDD. One of
the simplest applications which saves an external reference
voltage source is connection of the VREF terminal to the positive
VDD supply. This connection results in a rail-to-rail voltage
output span maximizing the programmed range. The reference
input will accept ac signals as long as they are kept within the
supply voltage range, 0 < VREF IN < VDD. The reference bandwidth and integral nonlinearity error performance are plotted in
the typical performance section (see TPCs 14 and 15). The
ratiometric reference feature makes the AD7390/AD7391 an
ideal companion to ratiometric analog-to-digital converters such
as the AD7896.
The voltage switched R-2R DAC generates an output voltage
dependent on the external reference voltage connected to the
VREF pin according to the following equation:
D

where D is the decimal data word loaded into the DAC register,
and N is the number of bits of DAC resolution. In the case of the
10-bit AD7391 using a 2.5 V reference, Equation 1 simplifies to:
VOUT = VREF ×
D

1024
Using Equation 2 the nominal midscale voltage at VOUT is
1.25 V for D = 512; full-scale voltage is 2.497 V. The LSB step
size is = 2.5 1/1024 = 0.0024 V.
VOUT = 2.5 ×
For the 12-bit AD7390 operating from a 5.0 V reference
Equation 1 becomes:

The very low power consumption of the AD7390/AD7391 is a
direct result of a circuit design optimizing the use of a CBCMOS
process. By using the low power characteristics of CMOS for the
logic, and the low noise, tight-matching of the complementary
bipolar transistors, excellent analog accuracy is achieved. One
advantage of the rail-to-rail output amplifiers used in the AD7390/
AD7391 is the wide range of usable supply voltage. The part is
fully specified and tested for operation from 2.7 V to 5.5 V.
(3)
Using Equation 3 the AD7390 provides a nominal midscale
voltage of 2.5 V for D = 2048, and a full-scale output of 4.998 V.
The LSB step size is = 5.0 1/4096 = 0.0012 V.
AMPLIFIER SECTION
The internal DAC’s output is buffered by a low power consumption precision amplifier. The op amp has a 60 µs typical
settling time to 0.1% of full scale. There are slight differences in
settling time for negative slewing signals versus positive. Also,
negative transition settling time to within the last 6 LSBs of zero
volts has an extended settling time. The rail-to-rail output stage
of this amplifier has been designed to provide precision performance while operating near either power supply. Figure 5
shows an equivalent output schematic of the rail-to-rail amplifier with its N-channel pull-down FETs that will pull an output
load directly to GND. The output sourcing current is provided
by a P-channel pull-up device that can source current to GND
terminated loads.
POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING AND GROUNDING
Precision analog products, such as the AD7390/AD7391, require
a well filtered power source. Since the AD7390/AD7391 operates
from a single 3 V to 5 V supply, it seems convenient to simply tap
into the digital logic power supply. Unfortunately, the logic supply is often a switch-mode design, which generates noise in the
20 kHz to 1 MHz range. In addition, fast logic gates can generate
glitches hundred of millivolts in amplitude due to wiring resistance and inductance. The power supply noise generated thereby
means that special care must be taken to assure that the inherent
precision of the DAC is maintained. Good engineering judgment
should be exercised when addressing the power supply grounding and bypassing of the AD7390.

The AD7390 should be powered directly from the system

Whether or not a separate power supply trace is available, however, generous supply bypassing will reduce supply-line induced

supply current showing that negligible current consumption
takes place when logic levels are in their quiescent state. The
normal crossover current still occurs during logic transitions. A
secondary advantage of this Schmitt trigger is the prevention of
false triggers that would occur with slow moving logic transitions when a standard CMOS logic interface or opto isolators
are used. The logic inputs SDI, CLK, LD, CLR all contain the
Schmitt trigger circuits.
DIGITAL INTERFACE
The AD7390/AD7391 have a double-buffered serial data input.
The serial-input register is separate from the DAC register,
which allows preloading of a new data value into the serial register without disturbing the present DAC values. A functional
block diagram of the digital section is shown in Figure 4, while
Table I contains the truth table for the control logic inputs.
Three pins control the serial data input. Data at the Serial Data
Input (SDI) is clocked into the shift register on the rising edge
of CLK. Data is entered in MSB-first format. Twelve clock
pulses are required to load the 12-bit AD7390 DAC value. If
additional bits are clocked into the shift register, for example
when a microcontroller sends two 8-bit bytes, the MSBs are
ignored (Figure 9). The CLK pin is only enabled when Load
(LD) is high. The lower resolution 10-bit AD7391 contains a
10-bit shift register. The AD7391 is also loaded MSB first with
10 bits of data. Again if additional bits are clocked into the shift
register, only the last 10 bits clocked in are used.
The Load pin (LD) controls the flow of data from the shift
register to the DAC register. After a new value is clocked into
the serial-input register, it will be transferred to the DAC register
by the negative transition of the Load pin (LD).

INPUT LOGIC LEVELS
All digital inputs are protected with a Zener-type ESD protection
structure (Figure 8) that allows logic input voltages to exceed the
VDD supply voltage. This feature can be useful if the user is driving
one or more of the digital inputs with a 5 V CMOS logic inputvoltage level while operating the AD7390/AD7391 on a 3 V power
supply. If this mode of interface is used, make sure that the VOL
of the 5 V CMOS meets the VIL input requirement of the AD7390/
AD7391 operating at 3 V. See TPC 6 for a graph for digital
logic input threshold versus operating VDD supply voltage.

RESET (CLR) PIN
Forcing the CLR pin low will set the DAC register to all zeros
and the DAC output voltage will be zero volts. The reset function
is useful for setting the DAC outputs to zero at power-up or
after a power supply interruption. Test systems and motor
controllers are two of many applications which benefit from
powering up to a known state. The external reset pulse can be
generated by the microprocessor’s power-on RESET signal, by
an output from the microprocessor, or by an external resistor
and capacitor. CLR has a Schmitt trigger input which results in
a clean reset function when using external resistor/capacitor
generated pulses. The CLR input overrides other logic inputs,
specifically LD. However, LD should be set high before CLR
goes high. If CLR is kept low, then the contents of the shift
register will be transferred to the DAC register as soon as CLR
returns high. See the Control-Logic Truth Table I.

gain setting resistors, which should have low temperature coefficients to maintain accuracy and matching (preferably the same
material, such as metal film). If better stability is required, the power
supply could be substituted with a precision reference voltage such
as the low dropout REF195, which can easily supply the circuit’s
162 µA of current, and still provide additional power for the
load connected to VO. The micropower REF195 is guaranteed
to source 10 mA output drive current, but only consumes 50 µA
internally. If higher resolution is required, the AD7390 can be
used with the addition of two more bits of data inserted into the
software coding, which would result in a 2.5 mV LSB step size.
Table V shows examples of nominal output voltages VO provided
by the Bipolar Operation circuit application.
UNIPOLAR OUTPUT OPERATION
This is the basic mode of operation for the AD7390. As shown
in Figure 10, the AD7390 has been designed to drive loads as

The circuit can be configured with an external reference plus
power supply, or powered from a single dedicated regulator or
reference, depending on the application performance requirements.
BIPOLAR OUTPUT OPERATION
Although the AD7391 has been designed for single-supply operation, the output can be easily configured for bipolar operation.
A typical circuit is shown in Figure 11. This circuit uses a clean
regulated 5 V supply for power, which also provides the circuit’s
reference voltage. Since the AD7391 output span swings from
ground to very near 5 V, it is necessary to choose an external
amplifier with a common-mode input voltage range that extends
to its positive supply rail. The micropower consumption OP196 has
been designed just for this purpose and results in only 50 microamps of maximum current consumption. Connection of the equally
valued 470 kΩ resistors results in a differential amplifier mode
of operation with a voltage gain of two, which results in a circuit
output span of ten volts, that is, 25 V to 15 V. As the DAC is
programmed with zero-code 000H to midscale 200H to full-scale
3FFH, the circuit output voltage VO is set at 25 V, 0 V and 15 V
(minus 1 LSB). The output voltage VO is coded in offset binary
according to Equation 4.

MICROCOMPUTER INTERFACES
The AD7390 serial data input provides an easy interface to a
variety of single-chip microcomputers (µCs). Many µCs have a
built-in serial data capability which can be used for communicating with the DAC. In cases where no serial port is provided,
or it is being used for some other purpose (such as an RS-232
communications interface), the AD7390/AD7391 can easily be
addressed in software.
Twelve data bits are required to load a value into the AD7390.
If more than 12 bits are transmitted before the load LD input
goes high, the extra (i.e., the most-significant) bits are ignored.
This feature is valuable because most µCs only transmit data
in 8-bit increments. Thus, the µC sends 16 bits to the DAC
instead of 12 bits. The AD7390 will only respond to the last
12 bits clocked into the SDI input, however, so the serial-data
interface is not affected.
Ten data bits are required to load a value into the AD7391. If
more than 10 bits are transmitted before load LD returns high,
the extra bits are ignored.
