10-Bit, 12-Bit, Multiplying D/A Converters
The AD7520 and AD7521 are monolithic, high accuracy, low cost 10-bit and 12-bit resolution, multiplying digital-to-analog converters (DAC). Intersil's thin-film on CMOS processing gives up to 10-bit accuracy with TTL/CMOS compatible operation. Digital inputs are fully protected against static discharge by diodes to ground and positive supply. Typical applications include digital/analog interfacing, multiplication and division, programmable power supplies, CRT character generation, digitally controlled gain circuits, integrators and attenuators, etc.

AD7520, AD7521 Definition of Terms
Nonlinearity: Error contributed by deviation of the DAC transfer function from a "best straight line" through the actual plot of transfer function. Normally expressed as a percentage of full scale range or in (sub)multiples of 1 LSB. Resolution: It is addressing the smallest distinct analog output change that a D/A converter can produce. It is commonly expressed as the number of converter bits. A converter with resolution of N bits can resolve output changes of 2-N of the full-scale range, e.g., 2-N VREF for a unipolar conversion. Resolution by no means implies linearity. Settling Time: Time required for the output of a DAC to settle to within specified error band around its final value (e.g., 1/2 LSB) for a given digital input change, i.e., all digital inputs LOW to HIGH and HIGH to LOW. Gain Error: The difference between actual and ideal analog output values at full scale range, i.e., all digital inputs at HIGH state. It is expressed as a percentage of full scale range or in (sub)multiples of 1 LSB. Feedthrough Error: Error caused by capacitive coupling from VREF to IOUT1 with all digital inputs LOW. Output Capacitance: Capacitance from IOUT1 and IOUT2 terminals to ground. Output Leakage Current: Current which appears on IOUT1 terminal when all digital inputs are LOW or on IOUT2 terminal when all digital inputs are HIGH. current reference and an operational amplifier are all that is required for most voltage output applications. A simplified equivalent circuit of the DAC is shown in the Functional Diagram. The NMOS SPDT switches steer the ladder leg currents between IOUT1 and IOUT2 buses which must be held either at ground potential. This configuration maintains a constant current in each ladder leg independent of the input code. Converter errors are further reduced by using separate metal interconnections between the major bits and the outputs. Use of high threshold switches reduce offset (leakage) errors to a negligible level. The level shifter circuits are comprised of three inverters with positive feedback from the output of the second to the first, see Figure 1. This configuration results in TTL/CMOS compatible operation over the full military temperature range. With the ladder SPDT switches driven by the level shifter, each switch is binarily weighted for an ON resistance proportional to the respective ladder leg current. This assures a constant voltage drop across each switch, creating equipotential terminations for the 2R ladder resistors and highly accurate leg currents.
