DESCRIPTION:
• Microprocessor interfacing in serially controlled systems
• Buffered digital output pin for daisy-chaining multiple DACs
• Minimizes address-decoding in multiple DAC systems three wire interface for any number of DACs
- One data line
- One CLK line
- One load line
• Fast interface timing reduces timing design considerations
while minimizing microprocessor wait states.
• Improved resistance to ESD
• RAD-PAK® radiation-hardened against natural space
radiation
• Total dose hardness:
- > 50 Krad (Si), depending upon space mission
• Package:
- 16 pin RAD-PAK® flat pack
• Operating temperature: -40 to 85°C
Maxwell Technologies’ 8143 is a 12-bit serial-input daisy-chain
CMOS digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that features serial
data input and buffered serial data output and a greater than
50 krad (Si) total dose tolerance, dependent upon space mission. It was designed for multiple serial DAC systems, where
serially daisy-chaining one DAC after another is greatly simplified. The 8143 also minimizes address decoding lines
enabling simpler logic interfacing. It allows three-wire interface
for any number of DACs: one data line, one CLK line and one
load line. Serial data in the input register (MSB first) is
sequentially clocked out to the SRO pin as the new data word
(MSB first) is simultaneously clocked in from the SRI pin. The
strobe inputs are used to clock in/out data on the rising or falling (user selected) strobe edges (STB1, STB2, STB3, STB4).
When the shift register’s data has been updated, the new data
word is transferred to the DAC register with use of LO1 and
LD2 inputs.
Maxwell Technologies' patented RAD-PAK® packaging technology incorporates radiation shielding in the microcircuit package. It eliminates the need for box shielding while providing
the required radiation shielding for a lifetime in orbit or space
mission. In a GEO orbit, RAD-PAK provides greater than 50
krad (Si) radiation dose tolerance. This product is available
with screening up to Class S.

General Circuit Information
The 8143 is a 12-bit serial-input, buffered serial-output, multiplying CMOS D/A converter. It has an R-2R resistor ladder network, a 12-bit input sift register, 12-bit DAC register, control logic circuitry, and a buffered digital output stage.
The control logic forms an interface in which serial data is loaded, under microprocessor control, into the input sift register and then transferred, in parallel, to the DAC register. In addition, buffered serial output data is present at the SRO
pin when input data is loaded into the input register. This buffered data follows the digital input data (SRI) by 12 clock
cycles and is available for daisy-chaining additional DACs.

Definition of Specifications
The resolution of a DAC is the number of states (2n) into which the full-scale range (FSR) is divided (or resolved),
where “n” is equal to the number of bits.
8143
12-Bit Serial Daisy-Chain D/A Converter
An asynchronous CLEAR function allows resetting the DAC register to a zero code (0000 0000 0000) without altering
data stored in the registers.
A simplified circuit of the 8143 is shown in Figure 10. An inverses R-2R ladder network consisting of silicon-chrome,
thin-film resistors, and twelve pairs of NMOS current-steering switches. These switches steer binarily weighted currents into either IOUT1 or IOUT2. Switching current to IOUT1 or IOUT2 yields a constant current in each ladder leg, regardless of digital input code. This constant current results in a constant input resistance at VREF equal to R (typically 11
kΩ). The VREF input may be driven by any reference voltage or current, ac or dc, that is within the limits stated in the
Absolute Maximum Ratings chart.
The twelve output current-steering switches are in series with the R-2R resistor ladder, and therefore, can introduce bit
errors. It was essential to design these switches such that the switch “ON” resistance by binarily scaled so that the
voltage drop across each switch remains constant. If, for example, Switch 1 of Figure 10 was designed with an “ON”
resistance of 10 Ω, Switch 2 for 20 Ω, etc., a constant 5 mV drop would then be maintained across each switch.
To further ensure accuracy across the full temperature range, permanently “ON” MOS switches were included in
series with the feedback resistor and the R-2R ladder’s terminating resistor. The Simplified DAC Circuit, Figure 10,
shows the location of these switches. These series switches are equivalently scaled to two times Switch 1 (MSB) and
top Switch 12 (LSB) to maintain constant relative voltage drops with varying temperature. During any testing of the
resistor ladder or RFEEDBACK (such as incoming inspection), VDD must be present to turn “ON” these serial switches.

ESD Protection
The 8143 digital inputs have been designed with ESD resistance incorporated through careful layout and the inclusion
of input protection circuitry.
Figure 11 shows the input protection diodes. High voltage static charges applied to the digital inputs are shunted to the
supply and ground rails through forward biased diodes.
These protection diodes were designed to clamp the inputs well below dangerous levels during static discharge conditions.

Equivalent Circuit Analysis
Output capacitance is dependent upon the digital input code. This is because the capacitance of a MOS transistor
changes with applied gate voltage. This output capacitance varies between the low and high values.

Figures 12 and 13 show equivalent circuits for the 8143 internal DAC with all bits LOW and HIGH, respectively. The
reference current is switched to IOUT2 when all data bits are LOW, and to IOUT1 when all bits are HIGH. The ILEAKAGE current source is the combination of surface and junction leakages to the substrate. The 1/4096 current source
represents the constant 1-bit current drain, through the ladder’s terminating resistor.

Dynamic Performance
Output Amplifier Considerations
When using high speed op amps, a small feedback capacitor (typically 5 pF-30 pF) should be used across the amplifiers to minimize overshoot and ringing. For low speed or static applications, ac specification of the amplifier are not
very critical. In high speed applications, slew rate, settling time, open-loop gain and gain/phase margin specifications
of the amplifier should be selected for the desired performance. It has already been noted that an offset can be caused
by including the usual bias current compensation resistor in the amplifier’s noninverting input terminal. This resistor
should not be used. Instead, the amplifier should have a bias current that is low over the temperature range of interest.
Static accuracy is affected by the variation in the DAC’s output resistance. This variation is best illustrated by using the
circuit of Figure 14 and the equation:

Memory
Analog Output Impedance
The output resistance, as in the case of the output capacitance, varies with the digital input code. This resistance,
looking back into the IOUT1 terminal, varies between 11 kW (the feedback resistor alone when all digital input are
LOW) and 7.5 kΩ (the feedback resistor in parallel with approximately 30 kΩ of the R-2R ladder network resistance
when any single bit logic is HIGH). Static accuracy and dynamic performance will be affected by these variations.
The gain and phase stability of the output amplifier, board layout, and power supply decoupling will all affect the
dynamic performance of the 8143. The use of a small compensation capacitor may be required when high speed
operational amplifier’s feedback resistor to provide the necessary phase compensation to critically damp the output.
The considerations when using high speed amplifiers are:
1. Phase compensation (see Figures 16 and 17).
2. Power supply decoupling at the device socket and use of proper grounding techniques.
8143
12-Bit Serial Daisy-Chain D/A Converter
FIGURE 14. SIMPLIFIED CIRCUIT
Where RO is a function of the digital code, and:
RO = 10 kΩ for more than four bits of Logic 1,
RO = 30 kΩ for any single bit of Logic 1.
Memory
Therefore, the offset gain varies as follows:
at code 0011 1111 1111,
at code 0100 0000 0000,
The error difference is 2/3 VOS.
Since one LSB has a weight (for VREF = 10V) of 2.4 mV for the 8143, it is clearly important that VOS be minimized,
using either the amplifier’s pulling pins, an external pulling network, or by selection of an amplifier with inherently low
VOS. Amplifiers with sufficiently low VOS include OP77, OP07 and OP27.
Interface Logic Operation
The microprocessor interface of the 8143 has been designed with multiple STROBE and LOAD inputs to maximize
interfacing options. Control signals decoding may be done on chip or with the use of external decoding circuitry (see
Figure 21).
Serial data is clocked into the input register and buffered output stage with STB1, STB2, or STB4. The strobe inputs are
active on the rising edge. STB3 may be used with a falling edge clock data.
Serial data output (SRO) follows the serial data input (SRI) by 12 clocked bits.
Holding any STROBE input at its selected state (i.e., STB1, STB2, or STB4 at logic HIGH or STB3 at logic LOW) will act
to prevent any further data input.
When a new data word has been entered into the input register, it is transferred to the DAC register by asserting both
LOAD inputs.

The CLR input allows asynchronous resetting of the DAC register to 0000 0000 0000. This reset does not affect data
held in the input registers. While in unipolar mode, a CLEAR will result in the analog output going to 0V. In bipolar
mode, the output will go to -VREF.

FIGURE 17. UNIPOLAR OPERATION WITH FAST OP AMP AND GAIN ERROR TRIMMING (2-QUADRANT)
Memory
In many applications, the 8143 zero scale error and low gain error, permit the elimination of external trimming components without adverse effects on circuit performance.
For applications requiring a tighter gain error than 0.024% at 25° C for the top grade part, or 0.048% for the lower grade
part, the circuit in Figure 17 may be used. Gain error may be trimmed by adjusting R1.
The DAC register must first be loaded with all 1s. R1 is then adjusted until VOUT = -VREF (4095/4096). In the case of an
adjustable VREF, R1 and RFEEDBACK may be omitted, with VREF adjusted to yield the desired full-scale output.
Bipolar Operation (4-Quadrant)
Figure 18 details a suggested circuit for bipolar, or offset binary, operation. Table 5 shows the digital input-to-analog
output relationship. The circuit uses offset binary coding. Twos complement code can be converted to offset binary by
software inversion of the MSB or by the addition of an external inverter to the MSB input.
Resistor R3, R4 and R5 must be selected to match within 0.01% and must all be of the same (preferably metal foil)
type to assure temperature coefficient match. Mismatching between R3 and R4 causes offset and full-scale error.
Calibration is performed by loading the DAC register with 1000 0000 0000 and adjusting the ratio of R3 to R4 to yield
VOUT = 0V. Full scale can be adjusted by loading the DAC register with 1111 1111 1111 and adjusting either the amplitude of VREF of the value of R5 until the desired VOUT is achieved.

Daisy-Chaining 8143
Many applications use multiple serial input DACs that use numerous interconnecting lines for address decoding and
data lines. In addition, they use some type of buffering to reduce loading on the bus. The 8143 is ideal for just such an
application. It not only reduces the number of interconnecting lines, but also reduces bus loading. The 8143 can be
daisy-chained with only three lines: one data line, one CLK and one load line, see Figure 19.

Analog/Digital Division
The transfer function for the 8143 connect is the multiplying mode as shown in Figures 16 and 17 is:
where AX assumes a value of 1 for an “ON” bit and 0 for an “OFF” bit.
The transfer function is modified when the DAC is connected in the feedback of an operational amplifier as shown in
Figure 20 and is:
The above transfer function is the division of an analog voltage (VREF) by a digital word. The amplifier goes to the
rails with all bits “OFF” since division by zero is infinity. With all bits “ON”, the gain is 1 (±1 LSB). The gain becomes
4096 with the LSB, Bit 12, “ON”.

Interfacing to the MC6800
As shown in Figure, the 8143 may be interfaced to the 6800 by successively executing memory WRITE instruction
while manipulating the data between WRITEs, so that each WRITE presents the next bit.
In this example, the most significant bits are found in memory locations 0000 and 0001. The four MSBs are found in
the lower half of 0000, the eight LSBs in 0001. The data is taken from the DB7 line.
The serial data loading is triggered by STB4 which is asserted by a decoded memory WRITE to a memory location, R/
W, and f2. A WRITE to another address location transfers data from input register to DAC register.

Application Tips
In most applications, linearity depends on the potential of IOUT1, IOUT2, and AGND (Pins 1, 2 and 3) being exactly equal
to each other. In most applications, the DAC is connected to an external Op Amp with its noninverting input tied to
ground (see Figures 16 and 17). The amplifier selected should have a low input bias current and low drift over temperature. The amplifier’s input offset voltage should be nulled to less than ±200 µ V (less than 10% of 1 LSB).
The operational amplifier’s noninverting input should have a minimum resistance connection to ground; the usual bias
current compensation resistor should not be used. This resistor can cause a variable offset voltage appearing as a
varying output error. All grounded pins should tie to a single common ground point, avoiding ground loops. The VDD
power supply should have a low noise level with no transients greater than 17V.
It is recommended that the digital input be taken to ground or VDD via a high value (1 MΩ) resistor, this will prevent the
accumulation of static charge if the PC card is disconnected from the system.
Peak supply current flows as the digital input pass through the transition region (see Figure 4). The supply current
decreases as the input voltage approaches the supply rails (VDD or DGND), i.e., rapidly slewing logic signals that settle
very near the supply rails will minimize supply current.

Interface to the 8085
The 8143’s interface to the 8085 microprocessor is shown in Figure 22. Note that the microprocessor’s SOD line is
used to present data serially to the DAC.
Data is strobed into the 8143 by executing memory write instructions. The strobe 2 input is generated by decoding an
address location and WR. Data is loaded into the DAC register with a memory write instruction to another address
location.
Serial data supplied to the 8143 must be present in the right-justified format in registers H and L of the microprocessor.
