DESCRIPTION
This monolithic digital-to-analog converter is pin-for-
pin equivalent to the industry standard DAC80 first
introduced by Burr-Brown. Its single-chip design in-
cludes the output amplifier and provides a highly
stable reference capable of supplying up to 2.5mA to
an external load without degradation of D/A perfor-
mance.
This converter uses proven circuit techniques to pro-
vide accurate and reliable performance over tempera-
ture and power supply variations. The use of a buried
zener diode as the basis for the internal reference
contributes to the high stability and low noise of the
device. Advanced methods of laser trimming result in
precision output current and output amplifier feedback
resistors, as well as low integral and differential lin-
earity errors. Innovative circuit design enables the
DAC80 to operate at supply voltages as low as ±11.4V
with no loss in performance or accuracy over any
range of output voltage. The lower power dissipation
of this 118-mil by 121-mil chip results in higher
reliability and greater long term stability.
Burr-Brown has further enhanced the reliability of the
monolithic DAC80 by offering a hermetic, side-brazed,
ceramic package. In addition, ease of use has been
enhanced by eliminating the need for a +5V logic
power supply.
For applications requiring both reliability and low
cost, the DAC80P in a molded plastic package offers
the same electrical performance over temperature as
the ceramic model. The DAC80P is available with
voltage output only.
For designs that require a wider temperature range, see
Burr-Brown models DAC85H and DAC87H.

DISCUSSION OF
SPECIFICATIONS
DIGITAL INPUT CODES
The DAC80 accepts complementary binary digital input
codes. The CBI model may be connected by the user for any
one of three complementary codes: CSB, COB, or CTC (see
Table I).
ACCURACY
Linearity of a D/A converter is the true measure of its
performance. The linearity error of the DAC80 is specified
over its entire temperature range. This means that the analog
output will not vary by more than ±1/2LSB, maximum, from
an ideal straight line drawn between the end points (inputs
all “1”s and all “0”s) over the specified temperature range of
0°C to +70°C.
Differential linearity error of a D/A converter is the devia-
tion from an ideal 1LSB voltage change from one adjacent
output state to the next. A differential linearity error speci-
fication of ±1/2LSB means that the output voltage step sizes
can range from 1/2LSB to 3/2LSB when the input changes
from one adjacent input state to the next.
Monotonicity over a 0°C to +70°C range is guaranteed in the
DAC80 to insure that the analog output will increase or
remain the same for increasing input digital codes.
DRIFT
Gain Drift is a measure of the change in the full scale range
output over temperature expressed in parts per million per
°C (ppm/°C). Gain drift is established by: 1) testing the end
point differences for each DAC80 model at 0°C, +25°C, and
+70°C; 2) calculating the gain error with respect to the 25°C
value, and; 3) dividing by the temperature change. This
figure is expressed in ppm/°C and is given in the electrical
specifications both with and without internal reference.
Offset Drift is a measure of the actual change in output with
all “1”s on the input over the specified temperature range.
The offset is measured at 0°C, +25°C, and 70°C. The
maximum change in Offset is referenced to the Offset at
25°C and is divided by the temperature range. This drift is
expressed in parts per million of full scale range per °C (ppm
of FSR/°C).
SETTLING TIME
Settling time for each DAC80 model is the total time
(including slew time) required for the output to settle within
an error band around its final value after a change in input
(see Figure 1).
Voltage Output Models
Three settling times are specified to ±0.01% of full scale
range (FSR); two for maximum full scale range changes of
20V, 10V and one for a 1LSB change. The 1LSB change is
measured at the major carry (0111...11 to 1000...00), the
point at which the worst case settling time occurs.
Current Output Models
Two settling times are specified to ±0.01% of FSR. Each is
given for current models connected with two different resis-
tive loads: 10 to 100 and 1000 to 1875. Internal
resistors are provided for connecting nominal load resis-
tances of approximately 1000 to 1800 for output voltage
range of ±1V and 0 to –2V (see Figures 11 and 12).
COMPLIANCE
Compliance voltage is the maximum voltage swing allowed
on the current output node in order to maintain specified
accuracy. The maximum compliance voltage of all current
output models is ±2.5V. Maximum safe voltage range of
±1V and 0 to –2V (see Figures 11 and 12).
POWER SUPPLY SENSITIVITY
Power supply sensitivity is a measure of the effect of a
power supply change on the D/A converter output. It is
defined as a percent of FSR per percent of change in either
the positive or negative supplies about the nominal power
supply voltages (see Figure 2).
REFERENCE SUPPLY
All DAC80 models are supplied with an internal 6.3V
reference voltage supply. This voltage (pin 24) has a toler-
ance of ±1% and must be connected to the Reference Input

(pin 16) for specified operation. This reference may be used
externally also, but external current drain is limited to
2.5mA.
If a varying load is to be driven, an external buffer amplifier
is recommended to drive the load in order to isolate bipolar
offset from load variations. Gain and bipolar offset adjust-
ments should be made under constant load conditions.
LOGIC INPUT COMPATIBILITY
DAC80 digital inputs are TTL, LSTTL and 4000B,
54/74HC CMOS compatible. The input switching threshold
remains at the TTL threshold over the entire supply range.
Logic “0” input current over temperature is low enough to
permit driving DAC80 directly from outputs of 4000B and
54/74C CMOS devices.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
POWER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS
Connect power supply voltages as shown in Figure 3. For
optimum performance and noise rejection, power supply
decoupling capacitors should be added as shown. These
capacitors (1µF tantalum) should be located close to the
DAC80.
±12V OPERATION
All DAC80 models can operate over the entire power supply
range of ±11.4V to ±16.5V. Even with supply levels drop-
ping to ±11.4V, the DAC80 can swing a full ±10V range,
provided the load current is limited to ±2.5mA. With power
supplies greater than ±12V, the DAC80 output can be loaded
up to ±5mA. For output swing of ±5V or less, the output
current is ±5mA, minimum, over the entire VCC range.
No bleed resistor is needed from +VCC to pin 24, as was
needed with prior hybrid Z versions of DAC80. Existing
±12V applications that are being converted to the monolithic
DAC80 must omit the resistor to pin 24 to insure proper
operation.
EXTERNAL OFFSET AND GAIN ADJUSTMENT
Offset and gain may be trimmed by installing external Offset
and Gain potentiometers. Connect these potentiometers as
shown in Figure 3 and adjust as described below. TCR of the
potentiometers should be 100ppm/°C or less. The 3.9M
and 10M resistors (20% carbon or better) should be lo-
cated close to the DAC80 to prevent noise pickup. If it is not
convenient to use these high value resistors, an equivalent
“T” network, as shown in Figure 4, may be substituted.

Existing applications that are converting to the monolithic
DAC80 must change the gain trim resistor on pin 23 from
33M to 10M to insure sufficient adjustment range. Pin
23 is a high impedance point and a 0.001µ1F to 0.01µF
ceramic capacitor should be connected from this pin to
Common (pin 21) to prevent noise pickup. Refer to Figure
5 for relationship of Offset and Gain adjustments to unipolar
and bipolar D/A operation.
Unipolar
Offset Adjustment
For unipolar (CSB) configurations, apply the digital input
code that should produce zero potential output and adjust the
Offset potentiometer for zero output.
For bipolar (COB, CTC) configurations, apply the digital
input code that should produce the maximum negative
output. Example: If the Full Scale Range is connected for
20V, the maximum negative output voltage is –10V. See
Table II for corresponding codes.
Gain Adjustment
For either unipolar or bipolar configurations, apply the
digital input that should give the maximum positive output.
Adjust the Gain potentiometer for this positive full scale
output. See Table II for positive full scale voltages and
currents.

VOLTAGE OUTPUT MODELS
Output Range Connections
Internal scaling resistors provided in the DAC80 may be
connected to produce bipolar output voltage ranges of ±10V,
±5V, or ±2.5V; or unipolar output voltage ranges of 0 to
+5V or 0 to +10V. See Figure 6.
Gain and offset drift are minimized because of the thermal
tracking of the scaling resistors with other internal device
components. Connections for various output voltage ranges
are shown in Table III. Settling time for a full-scale range
change is specified as 4µs for the 20V range and 3µs for the
10V range.

CURRENT OUTPUT MODELS
The resistive scaling network and equivalent output circuit
of the current model differ from the voltage model and are
shown in Figures 7 and 8.
Internal scaling resistors (Figure 7) are provided to scale an
external op amp or to configure load resistors for a voltage
output. These connections are described in the following
sections.
If the internal resistors are not used for voltage scaling,
external RL (or RF) resistors should have a TCR of
±25ppm/°C or less to minimize drift. This will typically add
±50ppm/°C plus the TCR of RL (or RF) to the total drift.
Driving An External Op Amp
The current output model DAC80 will drive the summing
junction of an op amp used as a current-to-voltage converter
to produce an output voltage. See Figure 9.
VOUT = IOUT x RF
where IOUT is the DAC80 output current and RF is the
feedback resistor. Using the internal feedback resistors of

Output Larger Than 20V Range
For output voltage ranges larger than ±10V, a high voltage
op amp may be employed with an external feedback resistor.
Use IOUT value of ±1mA for bipolar voltage ranges and
–2mA for unipolar voltage ranges. See Figure 10. Use
protection diodes when a high voltage op amp is used.
The feedback resistor, RF, should have a temperature coef-
ficient as low as possible. Using an external feedback
resistor, overall drift of the circuit increases due to the lack
of temperature tracking between RF and the internal scaling
resistor network. This will typically add 50ppm/°C plus RF
drift to total drift.

Driving a Resistive Load Unipolar
A load resistance, RL = RLI + RLS, connected as shown in
Figure 11 will generate a voltage range, VOUT, determined
by:

VOUT = –2mA [(RL x RO) ÷ (RL + RO)]
The unipolar output impedance RO equals 6.6k (typ) and
RLI is the internal load resistance of 968 (derived by
connecting pin 15 to 20 and pin 18 to 19). By choosing RLS
= 210, RL = 1178. RL in parallel with RO yields 1k total
load. This gives an output range of 0 to –2V. Since RO is not
exact, initial trimming per Figure 3 may be necessary; also
RLS may be trimmed.
Driving a Resistive Load Bipolar
The equivalent output circuit for a bipolar output voltage
range is shown in Figure 12, RL = RLI + RLS. VOUT is
determined by:
VOUT = ±1mA [(RO x RL) ÷ (RO + RL)]
By connecting pin 17 to 15, the output current becomes
bipolar (±1mA) and the output impedance RO becomes
3.2k (6.6k in parallel with 6.3k ). RLI is 1200 (derived
by connecting pin 15 to 18 and pin 18 to 19). By choosing
RLS = 225, RL = 1455. RL in parallel with RO yields 1k
total load. This gives an output range of ±1V. As indicated
above, trimming may be necessary.
