GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7394/AD7395 family of dual, 12-/10-bit, voltage output
digital-to-analog converters is designed to operate from a single
+3 V supply. Built using a CBCMOS process, this monolithic
DAC offers 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 making this device ideal for battery
operated applications.
The full-scale output voltage is determined by the applied external reference input voltage, VREF. The rail-to-rail VREF input
to VOUT outputs 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,
microcontroller compatible inputs using serial-data-in (SDI),
clock (CLK) and load strobe (LDA + LDB) pins. A chip-select
(CS) pin simplifies connection of multiple DAC packages by
enabling the clock input when active low. Additionally, an RS
input sets the output to zero scale or to 1/2 scale based on the
logic level applied to the MSB pin. The power shutdown pin,
SHDN, reduces power dissipation to nanoamp current levels.
All digital inputs contain Schmitt-triggered logic levels to minimize power dissipation and prevent false triggering on the clock
input.
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 AD7394/AD7395 contains 709 transistors. The die size measures 70 mil × 99 mil.
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 AD7394/AD7395 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.

AD7394/AD7395
OPERATION
AMPLIFIER SECTION
The AD7394 and AD7395 are a set of pin compatible, dual,
12-bit/10-bit digital-to-analog converters. These single-supply
operation devices consume less than 200 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, two
DAC registers and a serial input shift 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 serial interface
consists of a serial data input (SDI), clock (CLK) and chip
select pin (CS) and two load DAC Register pins (LDA and
LDB). A reset (RS) pin is available to reset the DAC register to
zero scale or midscale, depending on the digital level applied to
the MSB pin. This function is useful for power-on reset or
system failure recovery to a known state. Additional power
savings are accomplished by activating the SHDN pin resulting
in a 1.5 µA maximum consumption sleep mode.
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 20
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.

The rail-to-rail output stage provides more than ± 1 mA of output current. The N-channel output pull-down MOSFET shown
in Figure 20 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.

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 AD7395 using a 2.5 V reference, Equation 1 simplifies to:
V OUT =
2.5 × D
1024
REFERENCE INPUT
(2)
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 2.5 MΩ input
resistance minimizes power dissipation within the AD7394/
AD7395 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 < VDD. The reference bandwidth
and integral nonlinearity error performance are plotted in the
Typical Performance Characteristics section (see Figures 8 and
18). The ratiometric reference feature makes the AD7394/AD7395
an ideal companion to ratiometric analog-to-digital converters
such as the AD7896.
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.
For the 12-bit AD7394 operating from a 5.0 V reference Equation 1 becomes:
V OUT =
5.0 × D
4096
(3)
Using Equation 3 the AD7394 provides a nominal midscale
voltage of 2.50 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.

logic transitions when a standard CMOS logic interface or opto
isolators are used. The logic inputs SDI, CLK, CS, LDA, LDB,
RS, SHDN all contain the Schmitt trigger circuits.
The very low power consumption of the AD7394/AD7395 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
AD7394/AD7395 is the wide range of usable supply voltage.

INPUT LOGIC LEVELS
All digital inputs are protected with a Zener-type ESD protection structure (Figure 22) 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 input-voltage level while operating the AD7394/AD7395
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 AD7394/AD7395 operating at 3 V. See Figure
12 for a graph of digital logic input threshold versus operating
VDD supply voltage.

Figure 22. Equivalent Digital Input ESD Protection
In order to minimize power dissipation from input logic levels
that are near the VIH and VIL logic input voltage specifications,
a Schmitt trigger design was used that minimizes the inputbuffer current consumption compared to traditional CMOS
input stages. Figure 11 is a plot of incremental input voltage
versus 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
The AD7394/AD7395 has a serial data input. A functional
block diagram of the digital section is shown in Figure 23, while
Table I contains the truth table for the logic control inputs.
Three pins control the serial data input register loading. Two
additional pins determine which DAC will receive the data
loaded into the input shift register. Data at the SDI is clocked
into the shift register on the rising edge of the CLK. Data is
entered in the MSB-first format. The active low chip select (CS)
pin enables loading of data into the shift register from the SDI
pin. Twelve clock pulses are required to load the 12-bit AD7390
DAC shift register. If additional bits are clocked into the shift
register, for example, when a microcontroller sends two 8-bit
bytes, the MSBs are ignored (Table IV). The lowest resolution
AD7395 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. When CS returns to logic high, shiftregister loading is disabled. The load pins LDA and LDB control 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 associated with its LDA or
LDB logic control line. Note, if the user wants to load both
DAC registers with the current contents of the shift register,
both control lines LDA and LDB should be strobed together.
The LDA and LDB pins are level-sensitive and should be returned to logic high prior to any new data being sent to the
input shift register to avoid changing the DAC register values.
See Truth Table for complete set of conditions.
RESET (RS) PIN
Forcing the asynchronous RS pin low will set the DAC register
to all zeros, or midscale, depending on the logic level applied to
the MSB pin. When the MSB pin is set to logic high, both DAC
registers will be reset to midscale (i.e., the DAC Register’s MSB
bit will be set to Logic 1 followed by all zeros). 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 that 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. RESET has a Schmitt trigger input which results
in a clean reset function when using external resistor/capacitor
generated pulses. See the Control-Logic Truth Table I.
POWER SHUTDOWN (SHDN)
Maximum power savings can be achieved by using the power
shutdown control function. This hardware activated feature is
controlled by the active low input SHDN pin. This pin has a
Schmitt trigger input which helps to desensitize it to slowly
changing inputs. By placing a logic low on this pin the internal
consumption of the device is reduced to nano amp levels, guaranteed to 1.5 µA maximum over the operating temperature
range. When the AD7394/AD7395 has been programmed into
the power shutdown state, the present DAC register data is
maintained as long as VDD remains greater than 2.7 V. Once a
wake-up command SHDN = 1 is given, the DAC voltage outputs will return to their previous values. It typically takes
80 microseconds for the output voltage to fully stabilize. In the
shutdown state the DAC output amplifier exhibits an opencircuit with a nominal output resistance of 500 kΩ to ground. If
the power shutdown feature is not needed, then the user should
tie the SHDN pin to the VDD voltage thereby disabling this
function.
UNIPOLAR OUTPUT OPERATION
This is the basic mode of operation for the AD7394. As shown
in Figure 24, the AD7394 has been designed to drive loads as
low as 5 kΩ in parallel with 100 pF. The code table for this
operation is shown in Table V.

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 AD7395 has been designed for single-supply operation, the output can easily be configured for bipolar operation. A typical circuit is shown in Figure 25. This circuit uses a
clean regulated +5 V supply for power, which also provides the
circuit’s reference voltage. Since the AD7395 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 produces a circuit output span of ten volts, that is, –5 V to
+5 V. As the DAC is programmed from zero code 000H to midscale 200H to full-scale 3FFH, the circuit output voltage VO is
set at –5 V, 0 V and +5 V (–1 LSB). The output voltage VO is
coded in offset binary according to Equation 4.

the 470 kΩ gain setting resistors, which should have low temperature coefficients to maintain accuracy and matching (preferably the same resistor 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 262 microamps of current,
and still provide additional power for the load connected to
