DAC8408
BASIC APPLICATIONS
Some basic circuit configurations are shown in Figures 6 and 7.
Figure 6 shows the DAC8408 connected in a unipolar configu-
ration (2-Quadrant Multiplication), and Table I shows the Code
Table. Resistors R1, R2, R3, and R4 are used to trim full scale
output. Full-scale output voltage = V
or V
ture coefficient (approximately 50 ppm/ C) resistors or trim-
mers should be selected if used. Full scale can also be adjusted
using V
R4. In many applications, R1 through R4 are not required, and
the maximum gain error will then be that of the DAC.
Each DAC exhibits a variable output resistance that is code-
dependent. This produces a code-dependent, differential non-
linearity term at the amplifier’s output which can have a maxi-
mum value of 0.67 the amplifier’s offset voltage. This differ-
ential nonlinearity term adds to the R-2R resistor ladder differ-
ential-nonlinearity; the output may no longer be monotonic. To
maintain monotonicity and minimize gain and linearity errors, it
is recommended that the op amp offset voltage be adjusted to
less than 10% of 1 LSB (1 LSB = 2
or less than 3.9 mV over the operating temperature range. Zero-
scale output voltage (with all digital inputs low) may be adjusted
using the op amp offset adjustment. Capacitors C1, C2, C3,
and C4 provide phase compensation and help prevent overshoot
and ringing when using high speed op amps.
Figure 7 shows the recommended circuit configuration for the
bipolar operation (4-quadrant multiplication), and Table II shows
the Code Table. Trimmer resistors R17, R18, R19, and R20

is essential that resistor pairs R9–R13, R10–R14, R11–R15,
R12–R16 are matched both in value and tempco. They should
be within 0.01%; wire wound or metal foil types are preferred
for best temperature coefficient matching. The circuits of Figure
6 and 7 can either be used as a fixed reference D/A converter, or
as an attenuator with an ac input voltage.
