FEATURES…
The
SP7516
and
HS3160
are precision 16-bit multi-
plying DACs. The DACs are implemented as a one-
chip CMOS circuit with a resistor ladder network.
Three output lines are provided on the DACs to allow
unipolar and bipolar output connection with a mini-
mum of external components. The feedback resistor
is internal. The resistor ladder network termination is
externally available, thus eliminating an external re-
sistor for the 1 LSB offset in bipolar mode.
The
SP7516
is available for use in commercial and
industrial temperature ranges, packaged in a 24-pin
SOIC. The
HS3160
is available in commercial
and military temperature ranges, packaged in a
24–pin side–brazed DIP. For product processed
and screened to the requirements of MIL–M–
38510 and MIL–STD–883C, please consult the
factory (HS3160B only).
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The
SP7516/HS3160
achieve high accuracy by using
a decoded or segmented DAC scheme to implement
this function. The following is a brief description of
this approach.

DIGITAL
INPUTS

The most common technique for building a D/A
converter of n bits is to use n switches to turn n current
or voltage sources on or off. The n switches and n
sources are designed so that each switch or bit contrib-
utes twice as much to the D/A converter’s output as the
preceding bit. This technique is commonly known as
binary weighting and allows an n-bit converter to
generate 2
n
output levels by turning on the proper
combination of bits.
In such a binary-weighted converter, the switch
with the smallest contribution (the LSB) accounts
for only 2
-n
of the converter’s full-scale value.
Similarly, the switch with the largest contribution
(the MSB) accounts for 2
-1
or half of the converter’s
full-scale output. Thus it is easy to see that a given
percent change in the MSB will have a greater
effect on the converter’s output than would a
similar percent change in the LSB. For example, a
1% change in the LSB of a 10 bit converter would
only affect the output by 0.001% of full-scale. A
1% change in the MSB of the same converter
would affect the output by 0.5% of FSR.
In order to overcome the problem which results from
the large weighting of the MSB, the two MSB’s can
be decoded to three equally weighted sources.
Table
1
shows that all combinations of the two MSB’s of a
converter result in four output levels. So by replacing
the two MSB’s with three bits equally weighted at 1/
4 full-scale and decoding the two MSB digital inputs
into three lines which drive the equally weighted bits,
GND
Figure 2. Unipolar Operation
the same functional performance can be obtained.
Thus by replacing the two MSB switches of a conven-
tional converter with three switches properly de-
coded, the contribution of any switch is reduced from
1/2 to 1/4. This reduction in sensitivity also reduces the
accuracy required of any switch for a given overall
converter accuracy.
With the decoded converter described above, a 1%
change in any of the converter’s switches will affect
the output by no more than 0.25% of full-scale as
compared to 0.5% for a conventional converter. In
other words the conventional D/A converter can be
made less sensitive to the quality of its individual bits
by decoding.
In the
SP7516/HS3160
the first four MSB’s are
decoded into 16 levels which drive 15 equally weighted
current sources. The sensitivity of each switch on the
output is reduced by a factor of 8. Each of the 15
sources contributes 6.25% output change rather than
