GENERAL DESCRIPTIONThe AD7528 is a monolithic dual 8-bit digital/analog converter
featuring excellent DAC-to-DAC matching. It is available in
skinny 0.3" wide 20-lead DIPs and in 20-lead surface mount
packages.
Separate on-chip latches are provided for each DAC to allow
easy microprocessor interface.
Data is transferred into either of the two DAC data latches via a
common 8-bit TTL/CMOS compatible input port. Control
input DAC A/DAC B determines which DAC is to be loaded.
The AD7528’s load cycle is similar to the write cycle of a ran-
dom access memory and the device is bus compatible with most
8-bit microprocessors, including 6800, 8080, 8085, Z80.
The device operates from a +5 V to +15 V power supply, dis-
sipating only 20 mW of power.
Both DACs offer excellent four quadrant multiplication charac-
teristics with a separate reference input and feedback resistor for
each DAC.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS1. DAC-to-DAC matching: since both of the AD7528 DACs are
fabricated at the same time on the same chip, precise match-
ing and tracking between DAC A and DAC B is inherent.
The AD7528’s matched CMOS DACs make a whole new
range of applications circuits possible, particularly in the
audio, graphics and process control areas.
2. Small package size: combining the inputs to the on-chip DAC
latches into a common data bus and adding a DAC A/DAC B
select line has allowed the AD7528 to be packaged in either a
small 20-lead DIP, SOIC or PLCC.

TERMINOLOGY
Relative AccuracyRelative accuracy or endpoint nonlinearity is a measure of the
maximum deviation from a straight line passing through the
endpoints of the DAC transfer function. It is measured after
adjusting for zero and full scale and is normally expressed in
LSBs or as a percentage of full scale reading.
Differential NonlinearityDifferential nonlinearity is the difference between the measured
change and the ideal 1 LSB change between any two adjacent
codes. A specified differential nonlinearity of –1 LSB max over
the operating temperature range ensures monotonicity.

INTERFACE LOGIC INFORMATION
DAC Selection:Both DAC latches share a common 8-bit input port. The con-
trol input DAC A/DAC B selects which DAC can accept data
from the input port.
Mode Selection:Inputs CS and WR control the operating mode of the selected
DAC. See Mode Selection Table below.
Write Mode:When CS and WR are both low the selected DAC is in the write
mode. The input data latches of the selected DAC are transpar-
ent and its analog output responds to activity on DB0–DB7.
Hold Mode:The selected DAC latch retains the data which was present on
DB0–DB7 just prior to CS or WR assuming a high state. Both
analog outputs remain at the values corresponding to the data in
their respective latches.

CIRCUIT INFORMATION—D/A SECTIONThe AD7528 contains two identical 8-bit multiplying D/A con-
verters, DAC A and DAC B. Each DAC consists of a highly
stable thin film R-2R ladder and eight N-channel current steer-
ing switches. A simplified D/A circuit for DAC A is shown in
VREF A
AGNDRR
OUT A
RFB AFigure 1.Simplified Functional Circuit for DAC A
Figure 1. An inverted R-2R ladder structure is used, that is, bi-
nary weighted currents are switched between the DAC output
and AGND thus maintaining fixed currents in each ladder leg
independent of switch state.
EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT ANALYSISFigure 2 shows an approximate equivalent circuit for one of the
AD7528’s D/A converters, in this case DAC A. A similar
equivalent circuit can be drawn for DAC B. Note that AGND
(Pin 1) is common for both DAC A and DAC B.
The current source ILEAKAGE is composed of surface and junc-
tion leakages and, as with most semiconductor devices, approxi-
mately doubles every 10°C. The resistor RO as shown in Figure
2 is the equivalent output resistance of the device which varies
with input code (excluding all 0s code) from 0.8 R to 2 R. R is
typically 11 kW. COUT is the capacitance due to the N-channel
switches and varies from about 50 pF to 120 pF depending
upon the digital input. g(VREF A, N) is the Thevenin equivalent
voltage generator due to the reference input voltage VREF A and
the transfer function of the R-2R ladder.
Figure 2.Equivalent Analog Output Circuit of DAC A
CIRCUIT INFORMATION–DIGITAL SECTIONThe input buffers are simple CMOS inverters designed such
that when the AD7528 is operated with VDD = 5 V, the buffer
converts TTL input levels (2.4 V and 0.8 V) into CMOS logic
levels. When VIN is in the region of 2.0 volts to 3.5 volts the
input buffers operate in their linear region and pass a quiescent
current, see Figure 3. To minimize power supply currents it is
recommended that the digital input voltages be as close to the
supply rails (VDD and DGND) as is practically possible.
The AD7528 may be operated with any supply voltage in the
range 5 £ VDD £ 15 volts. With VDD = +15 V the input logic
levels are CMOS compatible only, i.e., 1.5 V and 13.5 V.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Application HintsTo ensure system performance consistent with AD7528 specifi-
cations, careful attention must be given to the following points:GENERAL GROUND MANAGEMENT: AC or transient
voltages between the AD7528 AGND and DGND can cause
noise injection into the analog output. The simplest method
of ensuring that voltages at AGND and DGND are equal is
to tie AGND and DGND together at the AD7528. In more
complex systems where the AGND–DGND intertie is on the
backplane, it is recommended that diodes be connected in
inverse parallel between the AD7528 AGND and DGND
pins (1N914 or equivalent).OUTPUT AMPLIFIER OFFSET: CMOS DACs exhibit a
code-dependent output resistance which in turn causes a
code-dependent amplifier noise gain. The effect is a code-
dependent differential nonlinearity term at the amplifier
output which depends on VOS (VOS is amplifier input offset
voltage). This differential nonlinearity term adds to the R/2R
differential nonlinearity. To maintain monotonic operation, it
is recommended that amplifier VOS be no greater than 10% of
1 LSB over the temperature range of interest.HIGH FREQUENCY CONSIDERATIONS: The output
capacitance of a CMOS DAC works in conjunction with the
amplifier feedback resistance to add a pole to the open loop
response. This can cause ringing or oscillation. Stability can
be restored by adding a phase compensation capacitor in
parallel with the feedback resistor.
DYNAMIC PERFORMANCEThe dynamic performance of the two DACs in the AD7528 will
depend upon the gain and phase characteristics of the output
amplifiers together with the optimum choice of the PC board
layout and decoupling components. Figure 6 shows the relation

SINGLE SUPPLY APPLICATIONSThe AD7528 DAC R-2R ladder termination resistors are con-
nected to AGND within the device. This arrangement is par-
ticularly convenient for single supply operation because AGND
may be biased at any voltage between DGND and VDD. Figure
8 shows a circuit which provides two +5 V to +8 V analog out-
puts by biasing AGND +5 V up from DGND. The two DAC
reference inputs are tied together and a reference input voltage
is obtained without a buffer amplifier by making use of the
constant and matched impedances of the DAC A and DAC B
reference inputs. Current flows through the two DAC R-2R
ladders into R1 and R1 is adjusted until the VREF A and VREF B
inputs are at +2 V. The two analog output voltages range from
+5 V to +8 V for DAC codes 00000000 to 11111111.
Figure 8.AD7528 Single Supply Operation
Figure 9 shows DAC A of the AD7528 connected in a positive
reference, voltage switching mode. This configuration is useful
in that VOUT is the same polarity as VIN allowing single supply
operation. However, to retain specified linearity, VIN must be in
the range 0 V to +2.5 V and the output buffered or loaded with
a high impedance, see Figure 10. Note that the input voltage is
connected to the DAC OUT A and the output voltage is taken
from the DAC VREF A pin.
