GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The DAC8222 is a dual 12-bit, double-buffered, CMOS digitalto-analog converter. It has a 12-bit wide data port that allows a
12-bit word to be loaded directly. This achieves faster throughput time in stand-alone systems or when interfacing to a 16-bit
processor. A common 12-bit input TTL/CMOS compatible
data port is used to load the 12-bit word into either of the two
DACs. This port, whose data loading is similar to that of a RAM’s
write cycle, interfaces directly with most 12-bit and 16-bit bus
systems. (See DAC8248 for a complete 8-bit data bus interface
product.) A common bus allows the DAC8222 to be packaged
in a narrow 24-lead 0.3" DIP and save PCB space.
The DAC is controlled with two signals, WR and LDAC. With
logic low at these inputs, the DAC registers become transparent.
This allows direct unbuffered data to flow directly to either
DAC output selected by DAC A/DAC B. Also, the DAC’s
double-buffered digital inputs will allow both DACs to be
simultaneously updated.
DAC8222’s monolithic construction offers excellent DAC-toDAC matching and tracking over the full operating temperature range. The chip consists of two thin-film R-2R resistor
ladder networks, four 12-bit registers, and DAC control logic
circuitry. The device has separate reference-input and feedback
resistors for each DAC and operates on a single supply from
+5 V to +15 V. Maximum power dissipation at +5 V using
zero or VDD logic levels is less than 0.5 mW.
The DAC8222 is manufactured with highly stable thin-film resistors on an advanced oxide-isolated, silicon-gate, CMOS
technology. Improved latch-up resistant design eliminates the
need for external protective Schottky diodes.

PARAMETER DEFINITIONS
RESOLUTION (n)
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.
RELATIVE ACCURACY (INL)
Relative accuracy, or integral nonlinearity, is the maximum deviation of the analog output (from the ideal) from a straight line
drawn between the end points. It is expressed in terms of least
significant bit (LSB), or as a percent of full scale.
Figure 19. Simplified Single DAC Circuit Configuration.
(Switches Are Shown for All Digital Inputs at Zero)
DIFFERENTIAL NONLINEARITY (DNL)
Differential nonlinearity is the worst case deviation of any adjacent analog output from the ideal 1 LSB step size. The deviation of the actual “step size” from the ideal step size of 1 LSB is
called the differential nonlinearity error or DNL. DACs with
DNL greater than ± 1 LSB may be nonmonotonic ± 1/2 LSB
INL guarantees monotonicity and ± 1 LSB maximum DNL.
GAIN ERROR (GFSE)
Gain error is the difference between the actual and the ideal
analog output range, expressed as a percent of full-scale or in
terms of LSB value. It is the deviation in slope of the DAC
transfer characteristic from ideal.
See Orientation in Digital-to-Analog Converters Section of the
current data book, for additional parameter definitions.
GENERAL CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
CONVERTER SECTION
The DAC8222 contains four 12-bit registers (two input registers and two DAC registers), two highly stable thin-film R-2R
resistor ladder networks, and interface control logic circuitry.
Also included are 24 single-pole, double-throw, NMOS transistor current switches.
REV. C
Figure 20. N-Channel Current Steering Switch
Figure 19 shows a simplified circuit for the R-2R ladder network
and transistor switches for one DAC. R is typically 11 kΩ. The
transistor switches are binarily scaled in size to maintain a constant voltage drop across each switch. Figure 20 shows a single
NMOS transistor switch.
The binary-weighted currents are switched between IOUT and
AGND by the N-channel MOS transistor switches. The selection between IOUT and AGND is determined by the digital input
code. It is important to note here that the voltage difference
–7–
DAC8222
between IOUT and AGND terminals be as close to zero as practical in order to keep DAC errors to a minimum. This is normally
done by connecting AGND to the noninverting input of an op
amp and IOUT to the inverting input. The DAC’s internal resistor (RFB) can be used for the feedback resistor by connecting the
op amp’s output directly to the DAC’s RFB terminal. The op
amp also provides the current-to-voltage conversion for the
DAC’s output current. The output voltage is dependent on the
DAC’s digital input code and VREF, and is given by:
DIGITAL SECTION
The DAC8222’s digital inputs are CMOS inserters. They were
designed to convert TTL and CMOS input logic levels into
voltage levels to drive the internal circuitry. The digital inputs
are TTL compatible at VDD = +5 V and CMOS compatible at
VDD = +15 V. The DAC8222 can use +5 V CMOS logic levels
with VDD = +12 V; however, supply current will rise to approximately 5 mA–6 mA.
Figure 21 shows the DAC’s digital input register structure for
one bit. This circuit drives the DAC register. Digital controls φ
and φ shown are generated from DAC A/DAC B and WR control signals.
VOUT = –VREF × D/4096
where D is the digital input code integer number that is between
0 and 4095.
As shown in Figure 21, these inputs are electrostatic-discharge
protected with two internal distributed diodes; they are connected between VDD and DGND. Each digital input has a typical input current of less than 1 nA.
The DAC’s input resistance, VREF (Figure 19), is always equal
to a constant value, R. This means that VREF can be driven by a
reference voltage or current, ac or dc (positive or negative). It is
recommended that a low-temperature-coefficient external RFB
resistor be used if a current source is employed.
When the digital inputs are in the region of +1.2 V to +2.8 V
(peaking at +1.8 V) using a +5 V power supply or in the region
of +1.7 V to +12 V (peaking at +3.9 V) with a +15 V power
supply, the input register transistors are operating in their linear
region and draw current from the power supply. It is therefore,
recommended that the digital input voltages be as close to the
supply rails (VDD and DGND) as is practically possible to keep
supply currents at a minimum. The DAC8222 may be operated
with any supply voltage between the range of +5 V to +15 V.
The DAC’s output capacitance (COUT) is code dependent and
varies from 90 pF (all digital inputs low) to 120 pF (all digital
inputs high).
Figure 19 shows a transistor switch in series with the R-2R ladder terminating resistor and RFB resistor. They were designed
into the DAC to binarily match the ladder leg switches and improve power supply rejection and gain error temperature coefficient. The gates of these transistor switches are connected to
VDD, so that an “open-circuit” exists when VDD is not applied.
This means that an op amp’s output voltage will go to either
“rail” if powered up before the DAC. Also, RFB resistance cannot be measured without VDD being applied.
INTERFACE CONTROL LOGIC
The DAC8222’s input control logic circuitry is shown in Figure
22. Note how the WR signal is used in conjunction with DAC
A/ DAC B to load data into either input register. LDAC loads
data from the input registers to the DAC register; the DAC’s
analog output voltage is determined by the data contained in
each DAC register.
The truth table for the DAC registers is shown in the Mode Selection Table. Note how the input register is transparent when
WR is low and LDAC is high, and that the DAC register is
transparent when WR is high and LDAC is low (LDAC updates
the DAC’s analog output voltage). The DAC is transparent
from input to output when WR and LDAC are both low, and
the DAC is latched (input and output is not being updated)
when WR and LDAC are both high.

WRITE TIMING CYCLES
DAC A/DAC B (Pin 18)–DAC Selection. Active low for
DAC A and active high for DAC B.
Two timing diagrams are shown and are at the user’s discretion
which to use.
WR (Pin 20)–WRITE. Active Low. Used to write data into
either DAC A or DAC B input registers, or active high latches
data into the input registers.
The TWO-CYCLE UPDATE, as the name implies, allows both
DAC registers to be loaded and the outputs updated in two
cycles. Data is first loaded into one DAC’s input register on the
first write cycle, and then new data loaded into the other DAC’s
input register while simultaneously updating both DAC outputs
on the second cycle.
LDAC (Pin 19)–LOAD DAC. Active Low. Used to simultaneously transfer data from DAC A and DAC B input registers
to both DAC outputs. The DAC becomes transparent (activity
on the digital inputs appear at the analog output) when both
WR and LDAC are low. Data is latched into the output registers on the rising edge of LDAC.
The THREE-CYCLE UPDATE allows DAC A and DAC B
registers to be loaded and analog output to be updated at a later
time. The first two cycles load both DACs as above, and the
third cycle updates the outputs.
The LDAC and DAC A/DAC B control pins can be tied together and controlled with a single strobe. When using the DAC
in this configuration, DAC B must be loaded first.

Figure 24 shows a simple unipolar (2-quadrant multiplication)
circuit using the DAC8222 and OP270 dual op amp (use two
OP42s for higher speeds), and Table II the corresponding code
table. Resistors R1, R2, and R3, R4 are used only if full-scale
gain adjustments are required. Low temperature coefficient
(approximately 50 ppm/°C) resistors or trimmers should be
used. Maximum full-scale error without these resistors for the
top grade device and VREF = ± 10 V is 0.024% and 0.097% for
the low grade. C1 and C2 provide phase compensation to help
reduce overshoot and ringing when high speed op amps are used.
Full-scale adjustment is accomplished by loading the digital
inputs with all 1s and adjusting R1 (or R3) so that

Full-scale can also be adjusted by varying VREF voltage, thus
eliminating R1, R2, R3 and R4. Zero adjustment is performed
by setting the DAC’s digital inputs to all 0s and adjusting the op
amp’s offset adjust so that VOUT = 0 V. To maintain monotonicity and minimize gain and linearity errors, it is recommended
that the op amp offset voltage be adjusted to less than 10% of
1 LSB (244 µV) over the operating temperature range of interest.

BIPOLAR OPERATION
The bipolar (offset binary) four-quadrant operation configuration using the DAC8222 is shown in Figure 25 and the corresponding code in Table III. The circuit makes use of the OP470
a quad op amp (use four OP42s for higher speeds).
Resistors R1, R2, R3, and R4 may be omitted and full-scale
output voltage may be adjusted by varying VREF or the value
of R5 and R8. If resistors R1, R2, R3, and R4 are omitted,

resistors R5, R6, R7, should be ratio-matched to 0.01% so that
gain error meets data sheet specifications. (Corresponding resistors, R8, R9, and R10 for DAC B should also be matched to
0.01%). The resistors should have identical temperature coefficients if operating over the full temperature range.
Zero and full-scale are adjusted one of two ways and are at the
user’s discretion. Zero-output can be adjusted by first setting
the digital inputs to 1000 0000 0000 and adjusting R1 (R3 for
DAC B) so that VOUTA (or VOUT B) equals 0 V. If R1, R2 (R3,
R4 for DAC B) are omitted, then VOUT = 0 V can be adjusted
by varying R6, R7 (R9, R10 for DAC B) ratios. Full-scale is adjusted by setting the digital inputs to 1111 1111 1111 and varying R5 (R8 for DAC B). Full-scale can also be adjusted by
varying VREF. Full-scale output is equal to VREF minus one LSB.

SINGLE SUPPLY OPERATION
APPLICATIONS TIPS
CURRENT STEERING MODE
GENERAL GROUND MANAGEMENT
Because the DAC8222’s R-2R resistor ladder terminating resistor is internally connected to AGND, it lends itself well to single
supply operation in the current steering mode. This means that
AGND can be raised above system ground as shown in Figure 26.
The output voltage range will be from +5 V to +10 V depending
on the digital input code and is given by:
Grounding techniques should be tailored to each individual system. Ground loops should be avoided, and ground current
paths should be as short as possible and have a low impedance.
VOUT = VOS + (n/4096) (VOS)
where VOS = Offset Reference Voltage (+5 V in Figure 26)
where n = Decimal Equivalent of the Digital Input Word
VOLTAGE SWITCHING MODE
Figure 27 shows the DAC8222 in a single supply voltage
switching mode of operation. In this configuration, the DAC’s
R-2R ladder acts as a voltage divider. The output voltage at the
VREF pin exhibits a constant impedance R (typically 11 kΩ) and
must be buffered by an op amp. RFB pins are not used in this
circuit configuration. The reference input voltage must be maintained within +1.25 V of AGND and VDD from +12 V to +15 V
to preserve device accuracy.
The output voltage expression is given by:
VOUT = VREF (n/4096)
where n = Decimal Equivalent of the Digital Input Word
The DAC8222’s AGND and DGND pins should be tied together at the device socket to prevent digital transients from appearing at the analog output. This common point then becomes
the single ground point connection. AGND and DGND should
then be brought out separately and tied to their respective power
supply grounds. Ground loops can be created if both grounds
are tied together at more than one location, i.e., tied together at
the device and at the digital and analog power supplies.
A PC board ground plane can be used for the single point
ground connection should the connections not be practical at
the device socket. If neither of these connections is practical or
allowed, the device should be placed as close as possible to the
system’s single point ground connection. Back-to-back Schottky
diodes should then be connected between AGND and DGND.
POWER SUPPLY DECOUPLING
Power supplies used with the DAC8222 should be well filtered
and regulated. Local supply decoupling consisting of a 1 µF to
10 µF tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 0.1 µF ceramic is
highly recommended. The capacitors should be connected between the VDD and DGND pins and at the device socket.

The DAC8222’s versatile loading structure greatly simplifies interfacing to 16-bit bus systems; it also reduces the number of
“glue” logic components. Data loading into its 12-bit wide data
input is achieved by use of only two control signals, WR and
LDAC. DAC selection is controlled with a single DAC A/DAC B
line.
Figure 28 shows the DAC8222 used in a programmable window
detector configuration. The required upper and lower limits for
the test are loaded into DAC A and DAC B. If a signal at the
test input is not within the programmed limits, the output will
indicate a logic zero.
Figures 29 and 30 show how easily the DAC8222 interfaces
with the 8086 and 68000 16-bit microprocessors.
