DAC8562
Unipolar Output Operation
This is the basic mode of operation for the DAC8562. As shown
in Figure 30, the DAC8562 has been designed to drive loads as
low as 820
eration is shown in Table III.

Operating the DAC8562 on +12 V or +15 V Supplies Only
Although the DAC8562 has been specified to operate on a
single, +5 V supply, a single +5 V supply may not be available in
many applications. Since the DAC8562 consumes no more than
6 mA, maximum, then an integrated voltage reference, such as
the REF02, can be used as the DAC8562 +5 V supply. The
configuration of the circuit is shown in Figure 31. Notice that
the reference’s output voltage requires no trimming because of
the REF02’s excellent load regulation and tight initial output
voltage tolerance. Although the maximum supply current of the
DAC8562 is 6 mA, local bypassing of the REF02’s output with
at least 0. 1 F at the DAC’s voltage supply pin is recommended
to prevent the DAC’s internal digital circuits from affecting the
DAC’s internal voltage reference.

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 volt. There are some DACs where offset errors may be present
but not observable at the zero scale because of other circuit limi-
tations (for example, zero coinciding with single supply ground).
In these DACs, nonzero output at zero code cannot be read as
the offset error. In the DAC8562, for example, the zero-scale er-
ror is specified to be +3 LSBs. Since zero scale coincides with
zero volt, it is not possible to measure negative offset error.
By adding a pull-down resistor from the output of the
DAC8562 to a negative supply as shown in Figure 32, offset er-
rors can now be read at zero code. This configuration forces the
output P-channel MOSFET to source current to the negative
supply thereby allowing the designer to determine in which di-
rection the offset error appears. The value of the resistor should
be such that, at zero code, current through the resistor is 200 A
maximum.
