a FEATURES Eight 8-Bit DACs with Output Amplifiers Operates with Single +5 V, +12 V or +15 V or Dual Supplies mP Compatible (95 ns WR Pulse) No User Trims Required Skinny 24-Pin DlPs, SOIC, and 28-Terminal Surface Mount Packages LC2MOS Octal 8-Bit DAC AD7228A FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM GENERAL DESCRIPTION The AD7228A contains eight 8-bit voltage-mode digital-toanalog converters, with output buffer amplifiers and interface logic on a single monolithic chip. No external trims are required to achieve full specified performance for the part. Separate on-chip latches are provided for each of the eight D/A converters. Data is transferred into the data latches through a common 8-bit TTL/CMOS (5 V) compatible input port. Address inputs A0, A1 and A2 determine which latch is loaded when WR goes low. The control logic is speed compatible with most 8-bit microprocessors. Specified performance is guaranteed for input reference voltages from +2 to +10 V when using dual supplies. The part is also specified for single supply +15 V operation using a reference of +10 V and single supply +5 V operation using a reference of +1.23 V. Each output buffer amplifier is capable of developing +10 V across a 2 kΩ load. The AD7228A is fabricated on an all ion-implanted, highspeed, Linear Compatible CMOS (LC2MOS) process which has been specifically developed to integrate high-speed digital logic circuits and precision analog circuits on the same chip.

This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability. 2 Outputs may be shorted to any voltage in the range V SS to VDD provided that the power dissipation of the package is not exceeded. Typical short circuit current for a short to GND or V SS is 50 mA. 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 AD7228A 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. PIN CONFIGURATIONS DIP AND SOIC PLCC WARNING! ESD SENSITIVE DEVICE CIRCUIT INFORMATION D/A SECTION The AD7228A contains eight identical, 8-bit, voltage-mode digital-to-analog converters. The output voltages from the converters have the same polarity as the reference voltage, allowing single supply operation. A novel DAC switch pair arrangement on the AD7228A allows a reference voltage range from +2 V to +10 V when operated from a VDD of +15 V. Each DAC consists of a highly stable, thin-film, R-2R ladder and eight high-speed NMOS switches. The simplified circuit diagram for one channel is shown in Figure 3. Note that VREF and GND are common to all eight DACs.

D/A Simplified Circuit Diagram The input impedance at the VREF pin of the AD7228A is the parallel combination of the eight individual DAC reference input impedances. It is code dependent and can vary from 2 kΩ to infinity. The lowest input impedance occurs when all eight DACs are loaded with digital code 01010101. Therefore, it is important that the external reference source presents a low output impedance to the VREF terminal of the AD7228A under changing load conditions. Due to transient currents at the reference input during digital code changes a 0.1 µF (or greater) decoupling capacitor is recommended on the VREF input for dc applications. The nodal capacitance at the reference terminal is also code dependent and typically varies from 120 pF to 350 pF. NOTES 1 To order MIL-STD-883, Class B processed parts, add /883B to part number.

Each VOUT pin can be considered as a digitally programmable voltage source with an output voltage: VOUTN = DN • VREF where DN is a fractional representation of the digital input code and can vary from 0 to 255/256. The output impedance is that of the output buffer amplifier as described in the following section. –4– REV. A AD7228A OP AMP SECTION SUPPLY CURRENT Each voltage-mode D/A converter output is buffered by a unity gain noninverting CMOS amplifier. This buffer amplifier is tested with a 2 kΩ and 100 pF load but will typically drive a 2 kΩ and 500 pF load. The AD7228A has a maximum IDD specification of 22 mA and a maximum ISS of 20 mA over the –55°C to +125°C temperature range. This maximum current specification is actually determined by the current at –55°C. Figure 6 shows a typical plot of power supply current versus temperature. The AD7228A can be operated single or dual supply. Operating the part from single or dual supplies has no effect on the positivegoing settling time. However, the negative-going settling time to voltages near 0 V in single supply will be slightly longer than the settling time for dual supply operation. Additionally, to ensure that the output voltage can go to 0 V in single supply, a transistor on the output acts as a passive pull-down as the output voltage nears 0 V. As a result, the sink capability of the amplifier is reduced as the output voltage nears 0 V in single supply. In dual supply operation, the full sink capability of 400 µA at 25°C is maintained over the entire output voltage range. The single supply output sink capability is shown in Figure 4. The negative VSS also gives improved output amplifier performance allowing an extended input reference voltage range and giving improved slew rate at the output. Figure 6. Power Supply Current vs. Temperature APPLYING THIS AD7228A UNIPOLAR OUTPUT OPERATION Figure 4. Single Supply Sink Current The output broadband noise from the amplifier is 300 µV peak-to-peak. Figure 5 shows a plot of noise spectral density versus frequency. This is the basic mode of operation for each channel of the AD7228A, with the output voltage having the same positive polarity as VREF. Connections for unipolar output operation are shown in Figure 7. The AD7228A can be operated from single or dual supplies as outlined earlier. The voltage at the reference input must never be negative with respect to GND. Failure to observe this precaution may cause parasitic transistor action and possible device destruction. The code table for unipolar output operation is shown in Table II. Figure 5. Noise Spectral Density vs. Frequency DIGITAL INPUTS The AD7228A digital inputs are compatible with either TTL or 5 V CMOS levels. All logic inputs are static-protected MOS gates with typical input currents of less than 1 nA. Internal input protection is achieved by on-chip distributed diodes. REV. A Figure 7. Unipolar Output Circuit –5– AD7228A Mismatch between R1 and R2 causes gain and offset errors, and therefore, these resistors must match and track over temperature. Table II.

The AD7228A has multiplying capability within the upper (+10 V) and lower (+2 V) limits of reference voltage when operated with dual supplies. Therefore, ac signals need to be ac coupled and biased up before being applied to the reference input. Figure 9 shows a sine-wave signal applied to the reference input of the AD7228A. For input frequencies up to 50 kHz, the output distortion typically remains less than 0.1%. The typical 3 dB bandwidth for small signal inputs is 800 kHz. 0V 1 256 BIPOLAR OUTPUT OPERATION Each of the DACs on the AD7228A can be individually configured for bipolar output operation. This is possible using one external amplifier and two resistors per channel. Figure 8 shows a circuit used to implement offset binary coding (bipolar operation) with DAC1 of the AD7228A. In this case R2 R2 V OUT = 1 + • ( D1 •V REF ) – • (V REF ) R1 R1 With R1 = R2 VOUT = (2D1 – 1) • (VREF) where D1 is a fractional representation of the digital word in latch 1 of the AD7228A. (0 ≤ D1 ≤ 255/256) Figure 9. Applying a AC Signal to the AD7228A TIMING DESKEW A common problem in ATE applications is the slowing or “rounding-off” of signal edges by the time they reach the pin-driver circuitry. This problem can easily be overcome by “squaring-up” the edge at the pin-driver. However, since each edge will not have been “rounded-off” by the same extent, this “squaring-up” could lead to incorrect timing relationship between signals. This effect is shown in Figure 10a. Figure 8. Bipolar Output Circuit Table III. Bipolar Code Table DAC Latch Contents MSB LSB 1111 1111 1000 0001 1000 0000 0111 1111 0000 0001 0000 0000 Analog Output Figure 10a. Time Skewing Due to Slowing of Edges 127 +V REF 128 1 +V REF 128 The circuit of Figure 10b shows how two DACs of the AD7228A can help in overcoming this problem. The same two signals are applied to this circuit as were applied in Figure 10b. The output of each DAC is applied to one input of a high-speed comparator, and the signals are applied to the other inputs. Varying the output voltage of the DAC effectively varies the trigger point at which the comparator flips. Thus the timing relationship between the two signals can be programmably corrected (or deskewed) by varying the code to the DAC of the AD7228A. In a typical application, the code is loaded to the 0V 1 –V REF 128 127 –V REF 128 128 –V REF = –V REF 128 –6– REV.

AD7228A Timing Deskew Circuit COARSE/FINE ADJUST The DACs on the AD7228A can be paired together to form a coarse/fine adjust function as indicated in Figure 11. The function is achieved using one external op amp and a few resistors per pair of DACs. DAC1 is the most significant or coarse DAC. Data is first loaded to this DAC to coarsely set the output voltage. DAC2 is then used to fine tune this output voltage. Varying the ratio of R1 to R2 varies the relative effect of the coarse and fine DACs on the output voltage. For the resistor values shown, DAC2 has a resolution of 150 µV in a 10 V output range. Since each DAC on the AD7228A is guaranteed monotonic, the coarse adjustment and fine adjustment are each monotonic. One application for this is as a set-point controller (see “Circuit Applications of the AD7226 Quad CMOS DAC” available from Analog Devices, Publication Number E873–15–11/84). Figure 13.

Coarse/Fine Adjust Circuit SELF-PROGRAMMABLE REFERENCE The circuit of Figure 12 shows how one DAC of the AD7228, in this case DAC1, may be used in a feedback configuration to provide a programmable reference for itself and the other seven converters. The relationship of VREF to VIN is expressed by V REF = (1 + G ) (1 + G • D1) •V IN where G = R2/R1 Figure 13 shows typical plots of VREF versus digital code, D1, for three different values of G. With VIN = 2.5 V and G = 3 the voltage at the output varies between 2.5 V and 10 V giving an effective 10-bit dynamic range to the other seven converters. For correct operation of the circuit, VSS should be –5 V and R1 greater than 6.8 kΩ. REV. A Figure 15. AD7228A to 6809/6502 Interface –7– C1663–24–5/92 AD7228A Figure 17.
