Notes and Cautions:
1.
Logic inputs are MOS gates. I

typically is less than 1nA @ 25°C.
2.

3.
Unipolar: Using the internal R
FEEDBACK
with nulled external amplifier in a constant 25°C ambient (offset doubles every 10°C).
4.
Using internal feedback resistor.
5.
Integral Linearity, for this product, is measured as the arithmetic mean value of the magnitudes of the greatest positive deviation
and the greatest negative deviation from the theoretical value for any given input combination.
Differential Linearity is the deviation of an output step from the theoretical value of 1 LSB for any two adjacent digital input codes.
6.
The
SP9316
series is designed to be used only in those applications where the current output is virtual ground; i.e. the summing
junction of an op amp in the inverting mode. The internal feedback resistor must be used to achieve temperature tracking. See
applications information for recommended circuit configurations.

For military temperature range product, screened to MIL-STD-883C, please consult the factory.

FEATURES…
The
SP9316
is a 16-bit, monolithic CMOS,
multiplying digital-to-analog converter with two
8-bit input registers for direct microprocessor
interface. It offers two– and four–quadrant mul-
tiplying capability with TTL/DTL and CMOS
logic compatibility. It is ideally suited for Auto-
mated Test Equipment, medical instrumenta-
tion and high–energy physics applications. Op-
erating from a single +15V supply, power dissi-
pation is less than 60mW. High accuracy and
monotonicity are achieved without laser–trim-
ming through the use of a highly accurate, low–
TCR thin–film resistor process. A unique digital
decoding technique of the 4 MSB’s results in
excellent linearity and stability over both time
and temperature. The
SP9316
is packaged in
hermetic 24-pin ceramic or molded plastic.
Models are available for operation over the
commercial (0°C to 70°C) and military (–55°C
to +125°C) temperature ranges. For product
screened to MIL–STD–883, please consult the
factory.

USING THE SP9316
General Configuration
The
SP9316
can be configured for unipolar
voltage operation (2-quadrant multiplication)
or bipolar voltage operation (4-quadrant multi-
plication.) Coding is binary and offset binary
respectively. In bipolar operation both the ref-
erence signal and the number represented by the
digital input applied to the
SP9316
may be of
either positive or negative polarity.

SIGNAL PROCESSING EXCELLENCE
Individual latch controls are provided for the
high and low bytes which may be tied together
for a single 16-bit word update. The data is
latched with the strobe at logic 0. The latches are
level–triggered and can be made transparent by
tying them to logic 1. However, use of the
latches is recommended in most applications as
they significantly reduce data bit skew, which
affects the glitch performance.
Layout, Grounding and Guarding
16-bit system performance can be maintained
with suitable attention paid to the layout, ground-
ing and guarding techniques employed. All
grounds should be of as low resistance as pos-
sible. Analog and digital grounds should be
individually star-pointed and tied together as
close as possible to the
SP9316.
Good layout
techniques dictate that the high–speed digital
inputs should be kept separate from low–level
analog outputs. The DAC output and op amp
input are high impedance and so are sensitive to
interference from the digital input lines. Careful
pinout design of the
SP9316
has reduced this
problem to a minimum, but guarding of these
points should be considered. Figures 3 and 4
detail the low impedance guard track layout.
Amplifier Selection
The
SP9316
allows the designer to obtain the
optimum performance for each application. Se-
lection of the correct operational amplifier, and
the layout of the associated components are
critical to the success of the design. To obtain
the optimum linearity performance, the amplifi-
ers must have an open loop gain in excess of
100,000 or 100dB. Care should be taken to

Table 1. Unipolar Transfer Function
ensure that the summing junction is as close to
analog ground as possible. Most applications
demand that the input offset be kept below
100µV. To maintain accuracy over temperature,
the amplifiers should have low bias currents and
offset voltage temperature coefficients.
In bipolar applications, attention must be paid to
the choice of resistors R and 2R (see
figure 2).
As the analog voltage output increases from
zero to full-scale, the power dissipated by the
feedback resistor increases and the resistor heats
up. This causes a small change in the resistance
value which could lead to an alteration to the
transfer function, which may be seen as integral
linearity errors. The internal resistor network
has been designed using ultra-stable thin-film
nichrome. It is important that the temperature
coefficient of the external resistors match those
in the DAC as closely as possible. Resistors
with a temperature coefficient of 10ppm/°C or
better should be used.
LONG TERM DRIFT
When measuring the stability of the
SP9316,
great care should be taken to ensure that the drift
of the measurement instruments can be sepa-
