GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
The AD7845 is the industry’s first 4-quadrant multiplying D/A
converter with an on-chip amplifier. It is fabricated on the
LC2MOS process, which allows precision linear components
and digital circuitry to be implemented on the same chip.
1. Voltage Output Multiplying DAC
The AD7845 is the first DAC which has a full 4-quadrant
multiplying capability and an output amplifier on chip. All
specifications include amplifier performance.
The 12 data inputs drive latches which are controlled by standard CS and WR signals, making microprocessor interfacing
simple. For stand-alone operation, the CS and WR inputs can
be tied to ground, making all latches transparent. All digital
inputs are TTL and 5 V CMOS compatible.
2. Matched Application Resistors
Three application resistors provide an easy facility for gain
ranging, voltage offsetting, etc.
The output amplifier can supply ± 10 V into a 2 kΩ load. It is
internally compensated, and its input offset voltage is low due to
laser trimming at wafer level. For normal operation, RFB is tied
to VOUT, but the user may alternatively choose RA, RB or RC to
scale the output voltage range.
3. Space Saving
The AD7845 saves space in two ways. The integration of the
output amplifier on chip means that chip count is reduced.
The part is housed in skinny 24-lead 0.3" DIP, 28-terminal
LCC and PLCC and 24-terminal SOIC packages.

TERMINOLOGY
LEAST SIGNIFICANT BIT
DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG GLITCH IMPULSE
This is the analog weighting of 1 bit of the digital word in a
V REF
DAC. For the AD7845, 1 LSB = 12 .
2
This is the amount of charge injected from the digital inputs to
the analog output when the inputs change state. This is normally specified as the area of the glitch in either pA-secs or
nV-secs depending upon whether the glitch is measured as a
current or voltage. The measurement takes place with VREF =
AGND.
RELATIVE ACCURACY
Relative accuracy or endpoint nonlinearity is a measure of the
maximum deviation from a straight line passing through the
endpoints of the DAC transfer function. It is measured after
adjusting for both endpoints (i.e., offset and gain error are adjusted out) and is normally expressed in least significant bits or
as a percentage of full-scale range.
DIGITAL FEEDTHROUGH
When the DAC is not selected (i.e., CS is high) high frequency
logic activity on the device digital inputs is capacitively coupled
through the device to show up as noise on the VOUT pin. This
noise is digital feedthrough.
DIFFERENTIAL NONLINEARITY
MULTIPLYING FEEDTHROUGH ERROR
Differential nonlinearity is the difference between the measured
change and the ideal 1 LSB change between any two adjacent
codes. A specified differential nonlinearity of +1 LSB max over
the operating temperature range ensures monotonicity.
This is ac error due to capacitive feedthrough from the VREF
terminal to VOUT when the DAC is loaded with all 0s.
OPEN-LOOP GAIN
Open-loop gain is defined as the ratio of a change of output
voltage to the voltage applied at the VREF pin with all 1s loaded
in the DAC. It is specified at dc.
GAIN ERROR
Gain error is a measure of the output error between an ideal
DAC and the actual device output with all 1s loaded after offset
error has been adjusted out. Gain error is adjustable to zero
with an external potentiometer. See Figure 13.
UNITY GAIN SMALL SIGNAL BANDWIDTH
This is the frequency at which the magnitude of the small signal
voltage gain of the output amplifier is 3 dB below unity. The
device is operated as a closed-loop unity gain inverter (i.e.,
DAC is loaded with all 1s).
ZERO CODE OFFSET ERROR
This is the error present at the device output with all 0s loaded
in the DAC. It is due to the op amp input offset voltage and
bias current and the DAC leakage current.
OUTPUT RESISTANCE
This is the effective output source resistance.
TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION
This is the ratio of the root-mean-square (rms) sum of the harmonics to the fundamental, expressed in dBs.
FULL POWER BANDWIDTH
Full power bandwidth is specified as the maximum frequency, at
unity closed-loop gain, for which a sinusoidal input signal will
produce full output at rated load without exceeding a distortion
level of 3%.
OUTPUT NOISE
This is the noise due to the white noise of the DAC and the
input noise of the amplifier.

CIRCUIT INFORMATION
Digital Section
Each of the switches A–C steers 1/4 of the total reference current with the remaining 1/4 passing through the R-2R section.
Figure 11 is a simplified circuit diagram of the AD7845 input
control logic. When CS and WR are both low, the DAC latch is
loaded with the data on the data inputs. All the digital inputs
are TTL, HCMOS and +5 V CMOS compatible, facilitating
easy microprocessor interfacing. All digital inputs incorporate
standard protection circuitry.
An output amplifier and feedback resistor perform the currentto-voltage conversion giving
VOUT = – D × VREF
where D is the fractional representation of the digital word. (D
can be set from 0 to 4095/4096.)
The amplifier can maintain ± 10 V across a 2 kΩ load. It is internally compensated and settles to 0.01% FSR (1/2 LSB) in less
than 5 µs. The input offset voltage is laser trimmed at wafer
level. The amplifier slew rate is typically 11 V/µs, and the unity
gain small signal bandwidth is 600 kHz. There are three extra
on-chip resistors (RA, R B, RC ) connected to the amplifier inverting terminal. These are useful in a number of applications including offset adjustment and gain ranging.

UNIPOLAR BINARY OPERATION
Figure 13 shows the AD7845 connected for unipolar binary
operation. When VIN is an ac signal, the circuit performs
2-quadrant multiplication. The code table for Figure 13 is given
in Table I.
BIPOLAR OPERATION
(4-QUADRANT MULTIPLICATION)
The recommended circuit for bipolar operation is shown in
Figure 14. Offset binary coding is used.
The offset specification of this circuit is determined by the
matching of internal resistors RB and RC and by the zero code
offset error of the device. Gain error may be adjusted by varying
the ratio of R1 and R2.
To use this circuit without trimming and keep within the gain
error specifications, resistors R1 and R2 should be ratio
matched to 0.01%.
The code table for Figure 14 is given in Table II.

PROGRAMMABLE CURRENT SOURCES
The AD7845 is ideal for designing programmable current
sources using a minimum of external components. Figures 16
and 17 are examples. The circuit of Figure 16 drives a programmable current IL into a load referenced to a negative supply.
Figure 17 shows the circuit for sinking a programmable current,
IL. The same set of circuit equations apply for both diagrams.
The AD7845 performs a PGA function when connected as in
Figure 15. In this configuration, the R-2R ladder is connected
in the amplifier feedback loop. RFB is the amplifier input resistor. As the code decreases, the R-2R ladder resistance increases
and so the gain increases.

Note that by making R1 much smaller than RDAC, the circuit
becomes insensitive to both the absolute value of RDAC and its
temperature variations. Now, the only resistor determining load
current IL is the sense resistor R1.
If R1 = 100 Ω, then the programming range is 0 mA to 100 mA,
and the resolution is 0.024 mA.

As the programmed gain increases, the error and noise also
increase. For this reason, the maximum gain should be limited
to 256. Table III shows gain versus code.
Note that instead of using RFB as the input resistor, it is also
possible to use combinations of the other application resistors,
RA, R B and RC. For instance, if RB is used instead of RFB , the
gain range for the same codes of Table II now goes from l/2
to 128.

APPLICATION HINTS
The AD7845 provides an excellent way of making a 4-20 mA
current loop circuit. This is basically a variation of the circuits
in Figures 16 and 17 and is shown in Figure 18. The application
resistor RA (Value 4R) produces the effective 4 mA offset.
General Ground Management: AC or transient voltages
between AGND and DGND can cause noise injection into the
analog output. The simplest method of ensuring that voltages at
AGND and DGND are equal is to tie AGND and DGND
together at the AD7845. In more complex systems where the
AGND and DGND intertie is on the backplane, it is recommended that two diodes be connected in inverse parallel between the AD7845 AGND and DGND pins (IN914 or
equivalent).

Digital Code
When D = 0 (Code of all 0s):
IL = 4 mA
When D = 1 (Code of all 1s):
IL = 20 mA
The above circuit succeeds in significantly reducing the circuit
component count. Both the on-chip output amplifier and the
application resistor RA contribute to this.
Digital Glitches: When a new digital word is written into the
DAC, it results in a change of voltage applied to some of the
DAC switch gates. This voltage change is coupled across the
switch stray capacitance and appears as an impulse on the current output bus of the DAC. In the AD7845, impulses on this
bus are converted to a voltage by RFB and the output amplifier.
The output voltage glitch energy is specified as the area of the
resulting spike in nV-seconds. It is measured with VREF connected to analog ground and for a zero to full-scale input code
transition. Since microprocessor based systems generally have
noisy grounds which couple into the power supplies, the
AD7845 VDD and VSS terminals should be decoupled to signal
ground.
Temperature Coefficients: The gain temperature coefficient
of the AD7845 has a maximum value of 5 ppm/°C. This corresponds to worst case gain shift of 2 LSBs over a 100°C temperature range. When trim resistors R1 and R2 in Figure 13
are used to adjust full-scale range, the temperature coefficient
of R1 and R2 must be taken into account. The offset temperature coefficient is 5 ppm of FSR/°C maximum. This corresponds to a worst case offset shift of 2 LSBs over a 100°C
temperature range.

MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING
16-BIT MICROPROCESSOR SYSTEMS
Figures 19, 20 and 21 show how the AD7845 interfaces to
three popular 16-bit microprocessor systems. These are the
MC68000, 8086 and the TM32010. The AD7845 is treated as
a memory-mapped peripheral to the processors. In each case, a
write instruction loads the AD7845 with the appropriate data.
The particular instructions used are as follows:
MC68000:
MOVE
8086:

8-BIT MICROPROCESSOR SYSTEMS
Figure 22 shows an interface circuit for the AD7845 to the
8085A 8-bit microprocessor. The software routine to load data
to the device is given in Table IV. Note that the transfer of the
12 bits of data requires two write operations. The first of these
loads the 4 MSBs into the 7475 latch. The second write operation loads the 8 LSBs plus the 4 MSBs (which are held by the
latch) into the DAC.

Figure 23 and 24 are the interface circuits for the Z80 and
MC6809 microprocessors. Again, these use the same basic
format as the 8085A interface.
DIGITAL FEEDTHROUGH
In the preceding interface configurations, most digital inputs to
the AD7845 are directly connected to the microprocessor bus.
Even when the device is not selected, these inputs will be constantly changing. The high frequency logic activity on the bus
can feed through the DAC package capacitance to show up as
noise on the analog output. To minimize this digital feedthrough
isolate the DAC from the noise source. Figure 25 shows an
interface circuit which uses this technique. All data inputs are
latched from the busy by the CS signal. One may also use other
means, such as peripheral interface devices, to reduce the digital
feedthrough.
