PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD DAC71 and AD DACn are high resolution 16-bit
hybrid IC digital-to-analog converters including reference, scaling
resistors and output amplifier (V models).
The devices offer outstanding accuracy, including maximum
linearity error of 0.003% at room temperature and maximum
gain drifts of 15ppmrC (AD DAC71, AD DAC7IH, AD DACnC)
and 7ppm/°C (AD DACn). This performance is possible due to
the innovative design, using proprietary monolithic D/A converter
chips. Laser-trimmed thin fllm resistors provide the linearity
and wide temperature range for guaranteed monotonicity.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. The AD DAC7l and AD DACn
with 0.003% linearity error.
provide l6-bit resolution
2. The proprietary chips used in the hybrid design provide
excellent stability over temperature and improved reliability.
3. Unipolar and bipolar current and voltage output versions are
available to fill a wide range of system requirements.
4. The AD DAC71 and AD DACn are improved second source
replacements for DAC71 and DACn devices from other
manufacturers.
The AD DAC71 and AD DACn digital inputs are ITL-com-
patible. Coding is complementary straight binary (CSB) for
unipolar output versions and complementary offset binary (COB)
for bipolar output versions.
All versions are packaged in a 24-pin metal DIP. The AD DAC71,
AD DAC71H and AD DACnC are specified for operation from
0 to + 70°C, and the AD DACn is specified from - 25°C to
+ 85°C. The AD DAC7IH, AD DACn and AD DACnC are
supplied in hermetically-sealed packages.
The AD DAC71 and AD DACn are intended to serve as improved
second sources to DAC71 and DACn devices from other
manufacturers.

AND AD DAC72
A great deal of care must be exercised when using high resolution
converters such as the AD DAC71 and AD DAC72. Since one
least significant bit of a 16-bit converter (LSB) represents an
analog voltage of only 153 microvolts out of a IOV scale, normally
negligible error sources become significant. Series resistances of
connectors and wiring can be major contributors, as can ther-
mocouple effects. Figure 3 illustrates the connections for voltage
output versions of the AD DAC71 and AD DAC72.
AD DAC71 AND AD DAC72 CSB-V
the load to the sensed remotely. The resistance (RWI) of the
lead connecting the load to the internal feedback resistor in-
troduces a gain error equal to
~,
I\.LOAD
independent of RLOAD
and Rwz. The error contributed by RW3depends upon where
the output is measured. If the output is measured between the
top of RLoAD and pin 20 of the DAC, no error results since
RW3effectively becomes part of the load resistance.
In applications where RW3is large or large currents flow in
RW3, it is necessary to use remote sensing as shown in Figure
5.

This circuit uses the output amplifier as a subtractor stage. Any
spurious voltage developed across RW3becomes a common
mode voltage and its error contribution is reduced by the common
mode rejection of the op amp.

AD DAC71 and AD DAC72 Connection Diagram
(Voltage Models)
In this circuit, the analog output voltage is accurately developed
between pin 17 and pin 20 of the DAC. The voltage measured
at the load will be inaccurate if there is significant resistance in
the wiring (and any connectors) between the DAC and the load.
If the load resistance is constant, the effects of RWI and RW2
can be treated as a simple gain error, and can be trimmed out.
However, if RL is variable, then RWI and RW2should be re-
duced to a value less than RL2~IN. This will reduce the effect of
the wiring resistances to a gain error of less than lLSB. The
AD DAC71 and AD DAC72 are rated at an output current of
SmA which translates to a minimum load resistance of 2kn.
Thus wiring resistances should be held to a maximum of 30
milliohms. This corresponds to approximately six inches of #28
wire or a six inch long printed circuit track 0.050 inches wide.
The current output versions of the AD DAC71 and AD DAC72
use an external operational amplifier to convert the output current
to an output voltage. The recommended configuration is shown
in Figure 4. Notice that this configuration permits the voltage

In the circuits of both Figure 4 and Figure 5, RW2'Seffect is
negligible since it is inside the loop of the amplifier. If current
boosting is required in order to drive heavy loads, a suitable
booster stage can be inserted between the amplifier's output and
the load. Since the loop is closed from the load end, offsets and
other errors induced by the booster are eliminated.

It is also important to minimize thermocouple effects in circuitry
using the AD DAC71 and AD DAC72. Recalling that lLSB of
a 16 bit, 10 volt scale converter is only 153 microvolts, a stray
uncompensated thermocouple can introduce several LSBs of
offset in response to minor changes in ambient temperature.
Any part of a circuit which includes a junction between two
dissimilar metals forms a thermocouple. Such junctions include
connectors, sockets, and any soldered connections. The solution
to thermocouple errors is to insure that every junction is cancelled
by an identical, but opposite, junction at the same temperature.
While this is often automatically accomplished (for example, in
a connector carrying both signal and return leads), careful attention
should be given to the physical layout of circuits using the AD
DAC71 and AD DAC72.

Another source of signal degradation in high-resolution converter
circuits is magnetically-coupled interference from stray fields.
Signal and return leads should be arranged in a way which
minimizes both length and the total cross-section area of the
loop. Of course, high resolution circuits should be located as far
as possible from any sources of electromagnetic interference,
including power transformers, digital logic and electromechanical
devices.
