USE OF V
Separate access to the feedback resistor of the output amplifier
allows additional application versatility. Figure 8a shows how
I
putting the drops “inside the loop.” Figure 8b shows how the
separate sense may be used to provide a higher output current
by feeding back around a simple current booster.
OPTIMIZING SETTLING TIME
In order to provide single-supply operation and zero-based
output voltage ranges, the AD558 output stage has a passive
“pull-down” to ground. As a result, settling time for negative
going output steps may be longer than for positive-going output
steps. The relative difference depends on load resistance and
capacitance. If a negative power supply is available, the
negative-going settling time may be improved by adding a pull-
down resistor from the output to the negative supply as shown
in Figure 9. The value of the resistor should be such that, at
zero voltage out, current through that resistor is 0.5 mA max.
BIPOLAR OUTPUT RANGES
The AD558 was designed for operation from a single power
supply and is thus capable of providing only unipolar (0 V to
+2.56 V and 0 V to 10 V) output ranges. If a negative supply is
R drops in long lines to remote loads may be cancelled by

available, bipolar output ranges may be achieved by suitable
output offsetting and scaling. Figure 10 shows how a 1.28 volt
output range may be achieved when a –5 volt power supply is
available. The offset is provided by the AD589 precision 1.2 volt
reference which will operate from a +5 volt supply. The AD544
output amplifier can provide the necessary 1.28 volt output
swing from 5 volt supplies. Coding is complementary offset
binary.
MEASURING OFFSET ERROR
One of the most commonly specified endpoint errors associated
with real-world nonideal DACs is offset error.
In most DAC testing, the offset error is measured by applying
the zero-scale code and measuring the output deviation from 0
volts. There are some DACs, like the AD558 where offset errors
may be present but not observable at the zero scale, because of
other circuit limitations (such as zero coinciding with single-
supply ground) so that a nonzero output at zero code cannot be
read as the offset error. Factors like this make testing the
AD558 a little more complicated.
By adding a pulldown resistor from the output to a negative
supply as shown in Figure 11, we can now read offset errors
at zero code that may not have been observable due to circuit
limitations. The value of the resistor should be such that, at zero
voltage out, current through the resistor is 0.5 mA max.
