DESCRIPTION
● HIGH-SPEED 16-BIT PARALLEL DOUBLEBUFFERED INTERFACE
DAC712 is a complete 16-bit resolution D/A converter
with 16 bits of monotonicity over temperature.
● VOLTAGE OUTPUT: ±10V
● 13-, 14-, AND 15-BIT LINEARITY GRADES
DAC712 has a precision +10V temperature compensated voltage reference, ±10V output amplifier and
16-bit port bus interface.
● 16-BIT MONOTONIC OVER
TEMPERATURE (L GRADE)
● POWER DISSIPATION: 600mW max
The digital interface is fast, 60ns minimum write pulse
width, is double-buffered and has a CLEAR function
that resets the analog output to bipolar zero.
● GAIN AND OFFSET ADJUST: Convenient
for Auto-Cal D/A Converters
● 28-LEAD DIP AND SOIC PACKAGES
GAIN and OFFSET adjustment inputs are arranged so
that they can be easily trimmed by external D/A
converters as well as by potentiometers.
DAC712 is available in two linearity error performance grades: ±4LSB and ±2LSB and three differential linearity grades: ±4LSB, ±2LSB, and ±1LSB. The
DAC712 is specified at power supply voltages of
±12V and ±15V.

DISCHARGE SENSITIVITY
Electrostatic discharge can cause damage ranging from performance degradation to complete device failure. Burr-Brown
Corporation recommends that all integrated circuits be handled
and stored using appropriate ESD protection methods.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation
to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may
be more susceptible to damage because very small parametric
changes could cause the device not to meet published specifications.

DISCUSSION OF
SPECIFICATIONS
DIGITAL FEEDTHROUGH
When the A/D is not selected, high frequency logic activity
on the digital inputs is coupled through the device and shows
up as output noise. This noise is digital feedthrough.
LINEARITY ERROR
Linearity error is defined as the deviation of the analog
output from a straight line drawn between the end points of
the transfer characteristic.
OPERATION
DIFFERENTIAL LINEARITY ERROR
DAC712 is a monolithic integrated-circuit 16-bit D/A converter complete with 16-bit D/A switches and ladder network, voltage reference, output amplifier and microprocessor bus interface.
Differential linearity error (DLE) is the deviation from
1LSB of an output change from one adjacent state to the
next. A DLE specification of ±1/2LSB means that the output
step size can range from 1/2LSB to 3/2LSB when the digital
input code changes from one code word to the adjacent code
word. If the DLE is more positive than –1LSB, the D/A is
said to be monotonic.
INTERFACE LOGIC
DAC712 has double-buffered data latches. The input data
latch holds a 16-bit data word before loading it into the
second latch, the D/A latch. This double-buffered organization permits simultaneous update of several D/A converters.
All digital control inputs are active low. Refer to block
diagram of Figure 1.
MONOTONICITY
A D/A converter is monotonic if the output either increases
or remains the same for increasing digital input values.
Monotonicity of DAC712 is guaranteed over the specification temperature range to 13, 14, 15, and 16 bits for performance grades DAC712P/U, DAC712PB/UB, DAC712PK/
UK, and DAC712PL/UL respectively.
All latches are level-triggered. Data present when the enable
inputs are logic “0” will enter the latch. When the enable
inputs return to logic “1”, the data is latched.
The CLR input resets both the input latch and the D/A latch
to give a bipolar zero output.
SETTLING TIME
Settling time is the total time (including slew time) for the
D/A output to settle to within an error band around its final
value after a change in input. Settling times are specified to
within ±0.003% of Full Scale Range (FSR) for an output
step change of 20V and 1LSB. The 1LSB change is measured at the Major Carry (FFFFHEX to 0000HEX, and 0000HEX
to FFFFHEX: BTC codes), the input transition at which
worst-case settling time occurs.
LOGIC INPUT COMPATIBILITY
TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION + NOISE
Total harmonic distortion + noise is defined as the ratio of
the square root of the sum of the squares of the values of the
harmonics and noise to the value of the fundamental frequency. It is expressed in % of the fundamental frequency
amplitude at sampling rate fS.
Digital inputs remain high impedance when power is off.
DAC712 digital inputs are TTL compatible (1.4V switching
level) with low leakage, high impedance inputs. Thus the
inputs are suitable for being driven by any type of 5V logic
such as 5V CMOS logic. An equivalent circuit of a digital
input is shown in Figure 2.
Data inputs will float to logic “0” and control inputs will
float to logic “0” if left unconnected. It is recommended that
any unused inputs be connected to DCOM to improve noise
immunity.
INPUT CODING
DAC712 is designed to accept positive-true binary two’s
complement (BTC) input codes which are compatible with
bipolar analog output operation. For bipolar analog output
configuration, a digital input of 7FFFHEX gives a plus full
scale output, 8000HEX gives a minus full scale output, and
0000HEX gives bipolar zero output.
SIGNAL-TO-NOISE
AND DISTORTION RATIO (SINAD)
SINAD includes all the harmonic and outstanding spurious
components in the definition of output noise power in
addition to quantizing and internal random noise power.
SINAD is expressed in dB at a specified input frequency and
sampling rate, fS.
INTERNAL REFERENCE
DAC712 contains a +10V reference.
The reference output may be used to drive external loads,
sourcing up to 2mA. The load current should be constant,
otherwise the gain and bipolar offset of the converter will
vary.
DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG GLITCH IMPULSE
The amount of charge injected into the analog output from
the digital inputs when the inputs change state. It is measured at half scale at the input codes where as many as
possible switches change state—from 7FFFHEX to 8000HEX.

GAIN AND OFFSET ADJUSTMENTS
Figure 3 illustrates the relationship of offset and gain adjustments for a bipolar connected D/A converter. Offset should
be adjusted first to avoid interaction of adjustments. See
Table I for calibration values and codes. These adjustments
have a minimum range of ±0.3%.
Offset Adjustment
Apply the digital input code that produces the maximum
negative output voltage and adjust the offset potentiometer
or the offset adjust D/A converter for –10V.

well as at +VCC. The capacitors should be located close to
the package.
DAC712 has separate ANALOG COMMON and DIGITAL
COMMON pins. The current through DCOM is mostly
switching transients and are up to 1mA peak in amplitude.
The current through ACOM is typically 5µA for all codes.
INSTALLATION
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Due to the high-accuracy of these D/A converters, system
design problems such as grounding and contact resistance
become very important. A 16-bit converter with a 20V fullscale range has a 1LSB value of 305µV. With a load current
of 5mA, series wiring and connector resistance of only
60mΩ will cause a voltage drop of 300µV. To understand
what this means in terms of a system layout, the resistivity
of a typical 1 ounce copper-clad printed circuit board is 1/2
mΩ per square. For a 5mA load, a 10 milli-inch wide printed
circuit conductor 60 milli-inches long will result in a voltage
drop of 150µV.
Use separate analog and digital ground planes with a single
interconnection point to minimize ground loops. The analog
pins are located adjacent to each other to help isolate analog
from digital signals. Analog signals should be routed as far
as possible from digital signals and should cross them at
right angles. A solid analog ground plane around the D/A
package, as well as under it in the vicinity of the analog and
power supply pins, will isolate the D/A from switching
currents. It is recommended that DCOM and ACOM be
connected directly to the ground planes under the package.
The analog output of DAC712 has an LSB size of 305µV
(–96dB). The noise floor of the D/A must remain below this
level in the frequency range of interest. The DAC712’s noise
spectral density (which includes the noise contributed by the
internal reference,) is shown in the Typical Performance
Curves section.
If several DAC712s are used or if DAC712 shares supplies
with other components, connecting the ACOM and DCOM
lines to together once at the power supplies rather than at
each chip may give better results.
Wiring to high-resolution D/A converters should be routed
to provide optimum isolation from sources of RFI and EMI.
The key to elimination of RF radiation or pickup is small
loop area. Signal leads and their return conductors should be
kept close together such that they present a small capture
cross-section for any external field. Wire-wrap construction
is not recommended.
LOAD CONNECTIONS
Since the reference point for VOUT and VREF OUT is the
ACOM pin, it is important to connect the D/A converter load
directly to the ACOM pin. Refer to Figure 5.
Lead and contact resistances are represented by R1 through
R3. As long as the load resistance RL is constant, R1 simply
introduces a gain error and can be removed by gain adjustment of the D/A or system-wide gain calibration. R2 is part
of RL if the output voltage is sensed at ACOM.
POWER SUPPLY AND
REFERENCE CONNECTIONS
Power supply decoupling capacitors should be added as
shown in Figure 4. Best performance occurs using a 1 to
10µF tantalum capacitor at –VCC. Applications with less
In some applications it is impractical to return the load to the
ACOM pin of the D/A converter. Sensing the output voltage
at the SYSTEM GROUND point is reasonable, because

there is no change in DAC712 ACOM current, provided that
R3 is a low-resistance ground plane or conductor. In this case
you may wish to connect DCOM to SYSTEM GROUND as
well.
OUTPUT VOLTAGE RANGE CONNECTIONS
The DAC712 output amplifier is connected internally for the
±10V bipolar (20V) output range. That is, the bipolar offset
resistor is connected to an internal reference voltage and the
20V range resistor is connected internally to VOUT. DAC712
cannot be connected by the user for unipolar operation.
GAIN AND OFFSET ADJUST
Connections Using Potentiometers
GAIN and OFFSET adjust pins provide for trim using
external potentiometers. 15-turn potentiometers provide sufficient resolution. Range of adjustment of these trims is at
least ±0.3% of Full Scale Range. Refer to Figure 6.
DIGITAL INTERFACE
BUS INTERFACE
Using D/A Converters
The GAIN ADJUST and OFFSET ADJUST circuits of
DAC712 have been arranged so that these points may be
easily driven by external D/A converters. Refer to Figure 7.
12-bit D/A converters provide an OFFSET adjust resolution
and a GAIN adjust resolution of 30µV to 50µV per LSB
step.
DAC712 has 16-bit double-buffered data bus interface with
control lines for easy interface to interface to a 16-bit bus.
The double-buffered feature permits update of several D/As
simultaneously.

of operation, the width of WR will need to be at least 80ns
minimum to pass data through the DATA INPUT LATCH
and into the D/A LATCH.
CLR sets the INPUT DATA LATCH to all zero and the
D/A LATCH to a code that gives bipolar 0V at the D/A
output.
TRANSPARENT INTERFACE
The digital interface of the DAC712 can be made transparent by asserting AO, A1, and WR LOW, and asserting CLR
