The LOGDAC
®
AD7111/AD7111A are monolithic multiplying
D/A converters featuring wide dynamic range in a small pack-
age. Both DACs can attenuate an analog input signal over the
range 0 dB to 88.5 dB in 0.375 dB steps. They are available in
16-pin DIPs and SOIC packages. The AD7111 is also available
in a 20-terminal LCCC package.
The degree of attenuation across the DAC is determined by an
8-bit word applied to the onboard decode logic. This 8-bit word
is decoded into a 17-bit word which is then applied to a 17-bit
R-2R ladder. The very fine step resolution, which is available
over the entire dynamic range, is due to the use of this 17-bit
DAC.
The AD7111/AD7111A are easily interfaced to a standard 8-bit
MPU bus via an 8-bit data port and standard microprocessor
control lines. The AD7111
WR
input is edge triggered and re-
quires a rising edge to load new data to the DAC. The AD7111A
WR
is level triggered to allow transparent operation of the
latches, if required. It should also be noted that the AD7111A is
exactly pin and function-compatible with the AD7524, an in-
dustry standard 8-bit multiplying DAC. This allows an easy up-
grading of existing AD7524 designs which would benefit both
from the wider dynamic range and the finer step resolution of-
fered by the AD7111A.
The AD7111/AD7111A are fabricated in Linear Compatible
CMOS (LC
2
MOS), an advanced, mixed technology process that
combines precision bipolar circuits with low power CMOS logic.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. Wide Dynamic Range: 0 dB to 88.5 dB attenuation range in
0.375 dB steps.
2. Small Package: The AD7111/AD7111A are available in
16-pin DIPs and SOIC packages.
3. Transparent Latch Operation: By tying the
CS
and
WR
in-
puts low, the DAC latches in the AD7111A can be made
transparent.
4. Fast Microprocessor Interface: Data setup times of 25 ns and
write pulse width of 57 ns make the AD7111A compatible
with modern microprocessors.

*Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause

operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those listed in the
operational sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection.
Although the AD7111/AD7111A features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent
damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore,
proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of
functionality.

TERMINOLOGY
RESOLUTION:
Nominal change in attenuation when moving
between two adjacent codes.
MONOTONICITY:
The device is monotonic if the analog out-
put decreases (or remains constant) as the digital code increases.
FEEDTHROUGH ERROR:
That portion of the input signal
which reaches the output when all digital inputs are high. See
section on Applications.
OUTPUT LEAKAGE CURRENT:
Current which appears on
the I
OUT
terminal with all digital inputs high.
TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION:
A measure of the
harmonics introduced by the circuit when a pure sinusoid is
applied to the input. It is expressed as the harmonic energy
divided by the fundamental energy at the output.
ACCURACY:
The difference (measured in dB) between the
ideal transfer function as listed in Table I and the actual transfer
function as measured with the device.
OUTPUT CAPACITANCE:
Capacitance from I
OUT
to
ground.
DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG GLITCH IMPULSE:
The amount
of charge injected from the digital inputs to the analog output
when the inputs change state. This is normally specified as the
area of the glitch in either pA-secs or nV-secs depending upon
whether the glitch is measured as a current or voltage signal.
Glitch impulse is measured with V
IN
= AGND.
PROPAGATION DELAY:
This is a measure of the internal
delays of the circuit and is defined as the time from a digital in-
put change to the analog output current reaching 90% of its
final value.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
GENERAL CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The AD7111/AD7111A consists of a 17-bit R-2R CMOS mul-
tiplying D/A converter with extensive digital logic. The logic
translates the 8-bit binary input into a 17-bit word which is
used to drive the D/A converter. Input data on the D7-D0 bus
is loaded into the input data latches using
CS
and
WR
control
signals. When using the AD7111, the rising edge of
WR
latches
the input data and initiates the internal data transfer to the de-
coder. A minimum time t
RFSH
, the refresh time, is required for
the data to propagate through the decoder before a new data
write is attempted.
In contrast, the AD7111A
WR
input is level triggered to allow
transparent operation of the latches if required.
The transfer function for the circuit of Figure 1 is given by:

where 0.375 is the step size (resolution) in dB and N is the in-
put code in decimal for values 0 to 239. For 240
≤
N
≤

output is zero. Table I gives the output attenuation relative to
0 dB for all possible input codes.

The graphs on the last page give a pictorial representation of the
specified accuracy and monotonic ranges for all grades of the
AD7111/AD7111A. High attenuation levels are specified with
less accuracy than low attenuation levels. The range of mono-
tonic behavior depends upon the attenuation step size used.
