Application Hints
3 1 Zero and Full-Scale Adjustments
The three adjustments needed for this circuit are shown in
(to force I
volts at the inverting input (pin 2) of OA1 Next with a code
of all zeros still applied adjust ‘‘- full-scale adjust’’ the refer-
ence voltage for V
output voltage will be opposite that of the applied reference
Finally set all of the digital inputs HIGH and adjust ‘‘
scale adjust’’ for V
output at this time will be the same as that of the reference
voltage This
count the effects of the V
offset is less than 0 1% of V
external resistor mismatch
Additional Application Ideas
For the circuits shown D represents the decimal equivalent of the binary digital input code D ranges from 0 (for an all zeros
input code) to 4095 (for an all ones input code) and for any code can be determined from

4 0 MISCELLANEOUS APPLICATION HINTS
The devices are CMOS products and reasonable care
should be exercised in handling them to prevent catastroph-
ic failures due to electrostatic discharge
During power-up supply voltage sequencing the negative
supply of the output amplifier may appear first This will typi-
cally cause the output of the op amp to bias near the nega-
tive supply potential No harm is done to the DAC however
as the on-chip 15 k
current flow from I
diode drop below ground
As a general rule any unused digital inputs should be tied
high or low as required by the application As a trouble-
shooting aid if any digital input is left floating the DAC will
interpret that input as a logical 1 level
