GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7545A, a 12-bit CMOS multiplying DAC with internal
data latches, is an improved version of the industry standard
AD7545. This new design features a
WR
pulse width of 100 ns,
which allows interfacing to a much wider range of fast 8-bit and
16-bit microprocessors. It is loaded by a single 12-bit-wide word
under the control of the
CS
and
WR
inputs; tying these control
inputs low makes the input latches transparent, allowing unbuf-
fered operation of the DAC.

CIRCUIT INFORMATION—D/A CONVERTER SECTION
Figure 1 shows a simplified circuit of the D/A converter section
of the AD7545A, and Figure 2 gives an approximate equivalent
circuit. Note that the ladder termination resistor is connected to
AGND. R is typically 15 kΩ.
The binary weighted currents are switched between the OUT1
bus line and AGND by N-channel switches, thus maintaining a
constant current in each ladder leg independent of the switch
state.
input buffers operate in their linear region and draw current
from the power supply. To minimize power supply currents it is
recommended that the digital input voltages be as close to the
supply rails (V
DD
and DGND) as is practically possible.
The AD7545A may be operated with any supply voltage in the
range 5
≤
V
DD
≤
15 volts. With V
DD
= +15 V the input logic
levels are CMOS compatible only, i.e., 1.5 V and 13.5 V.
BASIC APPLICATIONS
Figures 4 and 5 show simple unipolar and bipolar circuits using
the AD7545A. Resistor R1 is used to trim for full scale. The L,
C, U grades have a guaranteed maximum gain error of
±
1 LSB
at +25°C, and in many applications it should be possible to
dispense with gain trim resistors altogether. Capacitor C1 pro-
vides phase compensation and helps prevent overshoot and
ringing when using high speed op amps. Note that all the cir-
cuits of Figures 4, 5 and 6 have constant input impedance at the
V
REF
terminal.
The circuit of Figure 4 can either be used as a fixed reference
D/A converter so that it provides an analog output voltage in the
range 0 to –V
IN
(note the inversion introduced by the op amp)
or V
IN
can be an ac signal in which case the circuit behaves as
an attenuator (2-Quadrant Multiplier). V
IN
can be any voltage
in the range –20
≤
V
IN
≤
+20 volts (provided the op amp can
handle such voltages) since V
REF
is permitted to exceed V
DD
.
Table II shows the code relationship for the circuit of Figure 4.
Figure 1. Simplified D/A Circuit of AD7545A
The capacitance at the OUT1 bus line, C
OUT1
, is code-
dependent and varies from 70 pF (all switches to AGND) to
150 pF (all switches to OUT1).
One of the current switches is shown in Figure 2. The input
resistance at V
REF
(Figure 1) is always equal to R. Since R
IN
at
the V
REF
pin is constant, the reference terminal can be driven by
a reference voltage or a reference current, ac or dc, of positive or
negative polarity. (If a current source is used, a low temperature
coefficient external R
FB
is recommended to define scale factor.)

The input buffers are simple CMOS inverters designed such
that when the AD7545A is operated with V

convert TTL input levels (2.4 V and 0.8 V) into CMOS logic
levels. When V

Figure 5 and Table III illustrate the recommended circuit and
code relationship for bipolar operation. The D/A function itself
uses offset binary code and inverter U
1
on the MSB line con-
verts twos complement input code to offset binary code. If ap-
propriate, inversion of the MSB may be done in software using
an exclusive –OR instruction and the inverter omitted. R3, R4
and R5 must be selected to match within 0.01%, and they
should be the same type of resistor (preferably wire-wound or
metal foil), so that their temperature coefficients match. Mis-
match of R3 value to R4 causes both offset and full-scale error.
Mismatch of R5 to R4 and R3 causes full-scale error.

Output Offset:
CMOS D/A converters such as Figures 4, 5
and 6 exhibit a code dependent output resistance which, in turn,
can cause a code dependent error voltage at the output of the
amplifier. The maximum amplitude of this error, which adds
to the D/A converter nonlinearity, depends on V
OS
, where V
OS
is the amplifier input offset voltage. To maintain specified accuracy
with V
REF
at 10 V, it is recommended that V
OS
be no greater than
0.25 mV, or (25
×
10
–6
) (V
REF
), over the temperature range of
operation. Suitable op amps are AD517 and AD711. The AD517
is best suited for fixed reference applications with low band-
width requirements: it has extremely low offset (150
µV
max for
lowest grade) and in most applications will not require an offset
trim. The AD711 has a much wider bandwidth and higher slew
rate and is recommended for multiplying and other applications
requiring fast settling. An offset trim on the AD711 may be
necessary in some circuits.
General Ground Management:
AC or transient voltages
between AGND and DGND can cause noise injection into the
analog output. The simplest method of ensuring that voltages at
AGND and DGND are equal is to tie AGND and DGND
together at the AD7545A. In more complex systems where the
AGND and DGND intertie is on the backplane, it is recom-
mended that two diodes be connected in inverse parallel between
the AD7545A AGND and DGND pins (1N914 or equivalent).
Figure 6 and Table IV show an alternative method of achieving
bipolar output. The circuit operates with sign plus magnitude
code and has the advantage that it gives 12-bit resolution in
each quadrant compared with 11-bit resolution per quadrant for
the circuit of Figure 5. The AD7592 is a fully protected CMOS
change-over switch with data latches. R4 and R5 should match
each other to 0.01% to maintain the accuracy of the D/A con-
verter. Mismatch between R4 and R5 introduces a gain error.
Refer to Reference 1 (supplemental application material) for
additional information on these circuits.
