The AD7396/AD7397 series of dual, 12-bit and 10-bit voltageoutput digital-to-analog converters are 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, making this device
ideal for battery operated applications.
A 12-bit wide data latch loads with a 45 ns write time allowing
interface to fast processors without wait states. The double
buffered input structure allows the user to load the input
registers one at a time, then a single load strobe tied to both
LDA+LDB inputs will simultaneously update both DAC outputs. LDA and LDB can also be independently activated to
immediately update their respective DAC registers. An address
input (A/B) decodes DACA or DACB when the chip select CS
input is strobed. Additionally, an asynchronous RS input sets
the output to zero-scale at power on or upon user demand.
Power shutdown to submicroamp levels is directly controlled by
the active low SHDN pin. While in the power shutdown state
register data can still be changed even though the output buffer
is in an open circuit state. Upon return to the normal operating
state the latest data loaded in the DAC register will establish the
output voltage.
Both parts are offered in the same pinout, allowing users to
select the amount of resolution appropriate for their applications
without circuit card changes.
The AD7396/AD7397 are specified for operation over the extended industrial (–40°C to +85°C) temperature range. The
AD7397AR is specified for the –40°C to +125°C automotive
temperature range. AD7396/AD7397s are available in plastic
DIP, and 24-lead SOIC packages. The AD7397ARU is available for ultracompact applications in a thin 1.1 mm height
TSSOP 24-lead package.

The AD7396/AD7397 contains 1365 transistors. The die size measures 89 mil × 106 mil = 9434 sq 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 AD7396/AD7397 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.

The AD7396 and AD7397 are a set of pin compatible, 12-bit
and 10-bit digital-to-analog converters. These single-supply
operation devices consume less than 200 µA 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, digital-to-analog
converter, rail-to-rail output op amps, and a parallel-input
DAC register. The external reference input has constant
2.5 MΩ 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 parallel data interface
consists of 12 data bits, DB0–DB11, for the AD7396, 10 data
bits, DB0–DB9, for the AD7397, and a CS write strobe. An RS
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. Additional power savings are accomplished by
activating the SHDN pin resulting in a 1.5 µA maximum consumption sleep mode. As long as the supply voltage, remains
data will be retained in the DAC and input register to supply
the DAC output when the part is taken out of shutdown.

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 26
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.

REFERENCE INPUT
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 AD7396/
AD7397 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 Characteristics section, see Figures 10 and
13. The ratiometric reference feature makes the AD7396/AD7397
an ideal companion to ratiometric analog-to-digital converters
such as the AD7896.

INPUT LOGIC LEVELS
All digital inputs are protected with a Zener-type ESD protection structure (Figure 28) 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 AD7396/AD7397
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 AD7396/AD7397 operating at 3 V. See Figure 16
for a graph for digital logic input threshold versus operating VDD
supply voltage.

POWER SUPPLY
The very low power consumption of the AD7396/AD7397 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
AD7396/AD7397 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.

POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING AND GROUNDING
Precision analog products such as the AD7396/AD7397 require
a well filtered power source. Since the AD7396/AD7397 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 12-bit AD7396.
The AD7396 should be powered directly from the system power
supply. Whether or not a separate power supply trace is available generous supply bypassing will reduce supply line-induced
errors. Local supply bypassing consisting of a 10 µF tantalum
electrolytic in parallel with a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor is recommended in all applications (Figure 27).
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 input-buffer
current consumption compared to traditional CMOS input
stages. Figure 15 shows 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 logic
transitions when a standard CMOS logic interface or optoisolators are used. The logic inputs DB11–DB0, A/B CS, RS,
SHDN all contain Schmitt trigger circuits.
DIGITAL INTERFACE
The AD7396/AD7397 has a double-buffered, parallel-data
input. A functional block diagram of the digital section is shown
in Figure 25, while Table I contains the truth table for the logic
control inputs. The chip select (CS) and A/B pins control loading of data from the data inputs on pins DB11–DB0 into the
internal Input Register. The CS active low input places data
into the decoded A/B input register. When CS returns to logic
high within the data setup-and-hold time specifications the new
value of data in the input register will be latched. See Truth
Table for complete set of conditions. New data can only be
transferred to the corresponding DAC register when its LDx pin
is strobed active low. The LDx inputs are level-sensitive (DAC
Registers are transparent latches) and can be tied active low
–10–
REV. 0
AD7396/AD7397
allowing any new Input Register data updates to directly control
the DAC output voltages for single-buffered applications. For
doubled-buffered applications where both DAC outputs, VOUTA
and VOUTB, need to be changed simultaneously to a new value,
the two inputs, LDA and LDB, can be tied together and pulsed
active low in a synchronous manner.
RESET (RS) PIN
Forcing the asynchronous RS pin low will set the Input and
DAC registers 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 that benefit from powering up to a known state. The
external reset pulse can be generated by the microprocessor’s
power-on RESET signal, 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 Table I, Control-Logic
Truth.
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 AD7397 or AD7397 is reduced to nanoamp
levels, guaranteed to 1.5 µA maximum over the operating temperature range. If power is present at all times on the VDD pin
while in the shutdown mode, the internal DAC register will
retain the last programmed data value. This data will be used
when the part is returned to the normal active state by placing
the DAC back to its programmed voltage setting. Shutdown
recovery time measures 80 µs. In the shutdown state the DAC
output amplifier exhibits an open-circuit high-resistance state.
Any load connected will stabilize at its termination voltage. 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 AD7396. As shown
in Figure 29, the AD7396 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 II.

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 AD7397 has been designed for single supply operation, the output can easily be configured for bipolar operation. A typical circuit is shown in Figure 30. This circuit uses a
clean regulated +5 V supply for power, which also provides
the circuit’s reference voltage. Since the AD7397 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 µA of maximum current consumption. Connection of the equal-value 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 AD7397 DAC is programmed from zerocode 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 3.

where D is the decimal code loaded in the AD7397 DAC register. Note that the LSB step size is 10/1024 = 10 mV. This
circuit has been optimized for micropower consumption including 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 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 consumes only 50 µA internally. If higher
resolution is required, the AD7396 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 III shows
examples of nominal output voltages, VO, provided by the bipolar operation circuit application.
