GENERAL DESCRIPTION
A1
The AD7837/AD7847 is a complete, dual, 12-bit multiplying
digital-to-analog converter with output amplifiers on a mono-
lithic CMOS chip. No external user trims are required to
achieve full specified performance.
Both parts are microprocessor compatible, with high speed data
latches and interface logic. The AD7847 accepts 12-bit parallel
data which is loaded into the respective DAC latch using the
WR
input and a separate Chip Select input for each DAC. The
AD7837 has a double-buffered 8-bit bus interface structure
with data loaded to the respective input latch in two write opera-
tions. An asynchronous
LDAC
signal on the AD7837 updates
the DAC latches and analog outputs.
The output amplifiers are capable of developing
±
10 V across a
2 kΩ load. They are internally compensated with low input off-
set voltage due to laser trimming at wafer level.
The amplifier feedback resistors are internally connected to
V
OUT
on the AD7847.
The AD7837/AD7847 is fabricated in Linear Compatible CMOS
(LC
2
MOS), an advanced, mixed technology process that com-
bines precision bipolar circuits with low power CMOS logic.
A novel low leakage configuration (U.S. Patent No. 4,590,456)
ensures low offset errors over the specified temperature range.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. The AD7837/AD7847 is a dual, 12-bit, voltage-out MDAC
on a single chip. This single chip design offers considerable
space saving and increased reliability over multichip designs.
2. The AD7837 and the AD7847 provide a fast versatile inter-
face to 8-bit or 16-bit data bus structures.

If V
SS
is open circuited with V
DD
and either AGND applied, the V
SS
pin will float
positive, exceeding the Absolute Maximum Ratings. If this possibility exists, a
Schottky diode connected between V
SS
and AGND (cathode to AGND) ensures
the Maximum Ratings will be observed.

The outputs may be shorted to voltages in this range provided the power dissipation
of the package is not exceeded.

*Stresses
above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause perma-

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 condi-
tions for extended periods may affect device reliability. Only one Absolute

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 these devices feature 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
Relative Accuracy (Linearity)
Channel-to-Channel Isolation
Relative accuracy, or endpoint linearity, is a measure of the
maximum deviation of the DAC transfer function from a
straight line passing through the endpoints. It is measured after
allowing for zero and full-scale errors and is expressed in LSBs
or as a percentage of full-scale reading.
Differential Nonlinearity
This is an ac error due to capacitive feedthrough from the V
REF
input on one DAC to V
OUT
on the other DAC. It is measured
with the DAC latches loaded with all 0s.
Digital Feedthrough
Digital feedthrough is the glitch impulse injected from the digi-
tal inputs to the analog output when the data inputs change state,
but the data in the DAC latches is not changed.
For the AD7837, it is measured with
LDAC
held high. For the
AD7847, it is measured with
CSA
and
CSB
held high.
Digital Crosstalk
Differential 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 or less
over the operating temperature range ensures monotonicity.
Zero Code Offset Error
Zero code offset error is the error in output voltage from V
OUTA
or V
OUTB
with all 0s loaded into the DAC latches. It is due to a
combination of the DAC leakage current and offset errors in the
output amplifier.
Gain Error
Digital crosstalk is the glitch impulse transferred to the output
of one converter due to a change in digital code on the DAC
latch of the other converter. It is specified in nV secs.
Digital-to-Analog Glitch Impulse
Gain error is a measure of the output error between an ideal
DAC and the actual device output with all 1s loaded. It does
not include offset error.
Total Harmonic Distortion
This is the voltage spike that appears at the output of the DAC
when the digital code changes, before the output settles to its
final value. The energy in the glitch is specified in nV secs and is
measured for a 1 LSB change around the major carry transition
(0111 1111 1111 to 1000 0000 0000 and vice versa).
Unity Gain Small Signal Bandwidth
This is the ratio of the root-mean-square (rms) sum of the har-
monics to the fundamental, expressed in dBs.
Multiplying Feedthrough Error
This is the frequency at which the small signal voltage output
from the output amplifier is 3 dB below its dc level. It is mea-
sured with the DAC latch loaded with all 1s.
Full Power Bandwidth
This is an ac error due to capacitive feedthrough from the V
REF
input to V
OUT
of the same DAC when the DAC latch is loaded
with all 0s.
This is the maximum frequency for which a sinusoidal input
signal will produce full output at rated load with a distortion
less than 3%. It is measured with the DAC latch loaded with
all 1s.
