DESCRIPTION
The DAC56 is a complete 16-bit monolithic D/A
converter. Completely self-contained with a stable,
low noise, internal zener voltage reference; high-speed
current switches; a resistor ladder network; and a low
noise output operational amplifier all on a single
monolithic chip. The DAC56 operates over a wide
power supply range from
5V to
12V.
Differential linearity error (DLE) is guaranteed to
meet specifications without external adjustment. How-
ever, provisions for an externally adjustable circuit
controlling the MSB error, the differential linearity
error at bipolar zero, makes the DLE at BPZ essen-
tially zero and provides for high system performance.
The I/V amplifier stage includes an output current
limiting circuit to protect both amplifier and load from
excessive current. This assures the user of high system
reliability.
A high-speed interface is capable of clocking in data
at a rate of 10MHz max, and its interface logic con-
tains a serial data clock (input), serial data (input) and
latch-enable (input). Serial data is clocked MSB first
into a 16-bit register and then latched into a 16-bit
parallel register.
The DAC56 is packaged in a 16-pin plastic DIP and
16-pin SOIC.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The accuracy of a D/A converter is described by the transfer
function as shown in Figure 1. Digital input to analog output
converter relationships are shown in Table I. The errors in
the D/A converter are combinations of analog errors due to
the linear circuitry, matching and tracking properties of the
ladder and scaling networks, power supply rejection, and
reference errors. In summary, these errors consist of initial
errors including gain, offset, linearity, differential linearity,
and power supply sensitivity. Gain drift over temperature
rotates the line (Figure 1) about the bipolar zero point and
offset drift shifts the line left or right over the operating
temperature range. Most of the offset and gain drift is due to
the drift of the internal reference zener diode with tempera-
ture or time.
The converter is designed so that these drifts are in opposite
directions. This way the bipolar zero voltage is virtually
unaffected by variations in the reference voltage.
DIGITAL INPUT CODES
The DAC56 accepts serial input data (MSB first) in Binary
Two's Complement form--Refer to Table I for input/output
relationships.
POWER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS
Power supply decoupling capacitors should be added as
shown in the Connection Diagram (Figure 2), for optimum
performance and noise rejection.
These capacitors (1
F tantalum recommended) should be
connected as close as possible to the converter.
FIGURE 2. Connection Diagram.
MSB ERROR ADJUSTMENT (OPTIONAL)
Differential linearity error at all codes of the DAC56 is
guaranteed to meet specifications without an external adjust-
ment. However, if adjustment of the differential linearity
error at bipolar zero is desired, it can be trimmed essentially
to zero using the circuit as shown in Figure 3.
FIGURE 3. MSB Adjustment Circuit.
After allowing ample warm-up time (5 to 10 minutes) to
assure stable operation, select the input code FFFF
H
. Mea-
sure the output voltage using a 6-1/2 digit voltmeter and
record the measurement. Change the digital input code to
0000
H
. Adjust the 100k
potentiometer (TCR of 100ppm
per
C or less is recommended) to make the output voltage
read 1LSB more than the voltage reading of the previous
code (ex. 1LSB = 92
V at FSR = 6V).
If the MSB adjustment circuit is not used, pins 14 and 15
should be left open.

FIGURE 4. Input Timing Diagram.
INPUT TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
Figures 4 and 5 refer to the input timing required to interface
the inputs of DAC56 to a serial input data stream. Serial data
is accepted in Binary Two's Complement with the MSB being
loaded first. Data is clocked in on positive going clock (CLK,
pin 5) edges and is latched into the DAC input register on
negative going latch enable (LE, pin 6) edges.
The latch enable input must be high for at least one clock cycle
before going low, and then must be held low for at least one
clock cycle. The last 16 data bits clocked into the serial input
register are those that are transferred to the DAC input register
when latch enable goes low. In other words, when more than
16 clock cycles occur between a latch enable, only the data
present during the last 16 clocks will be transferred to the
DAC input register.
Figure 4 gives the general input format required for the
DAC56. Figure 5 shows the specific relationships between the
various signals and their timing constraints.

NOTES: (1) If clock is stopped between input of 16-bit data words, latch enable (LE) must remain low until after the first clock of the next 16-bit data
word stream. (2) Data format is binary two's complement (BTC). Individual data bits are clocked in on the corresponding positive clock edge. (3) Latch
enable (LE) must remain low at least one clock cycle after going negative. (4) Latch enable (LE) must be high for at least one clock cycle before going
negative.
