PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD558 DACPORT is a complete voltage-output 8-bit
digital-to-analog converter, including output amplifier, full
microprocessor interface and precision voltage reference on a
single monolithic chip. No external components or trims are
required to interface, with full accuracy, an 8-bit data bus to an
analog system.
The performance and versatility of the DACPORT is a result of
several recently-developed monolithic bipolar technologies. The
complete microprocessor interface and control logic is imple-
mented with integrated injection logic (I
2
L), an extremely dense
and low power logic structure that is process-compatible with
linear bipolar fabrication. The internal precision voltage reference
is the patented low voltage bandgap circuit which permits full-
accuracy performance on a single +5 V to +15 V power supply.
Thin-film silicon-chromium resistors provide the stability re-
quired for guaranteed monotonic operation over the entire oper-
ating temperature range (all grades), while recent advances in
laser-wafer-trimming of these thin-film resistors permit absolute
calibration at the factory to within
1 LSB; thus no user-trims
for gain or offset are required. A new circuit design provides
voltage settling to
1/2 LSB for a full-scale step in 800 ns.
The AD558 is available in four performance grades. The AD558J
and K are specified for use over the 0
C to +70
C temperature
range, while the AD558S and T grades are specified for 55
C
to +125
C operation. The "J" and "K" grades are available
either in 16-pin plastic (N) or hermetic ceramic (D) DIPS.
They are also available in 20-pin JEDEC standard PLCC pack-
ages. The "S" and "T" grades are available in the 16-pin her-
metic ceramic DIP package.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. The 8-bit I
2
L input register and fully microprocessor-
compatible control logic allow the AD558 to be directly
connected to 8- or 16-bit data buses and operated with
standard control signals. The latch may be disabled for
direct DAC interfacing.
2. The laser-trimmed on-chip SiCr thin-film resistors are
calibrated for absolute accuracy and linearity at the factory.
Therefore, no user trims are necessary for full rated accuracy
over the operating temperature range.
3. The inclusion of a precision low voltage bandgap reference
eliminates the need to specify and apply a separate refer-
ence source.
4. The voltage switching structure of the AD558 DAC section
along with a high speed output amplifier and laser trimmed
resistors give the user a choice of 0 V to +2.56 V or 0 V to
+10 V output ranges, selectable by pin-strapping. Circuitry is
internally compensated for minimum settling time on both
ranges; typically settling to
1/2 LSB for a full-scale 2.55 volt
step in 800 ns.
5. The AD558 is designed and specified to operate from a
single +4.5 V to +16.5 V power supply.
6. Low digital input currents, 100
A max, minimize bus load-
ing. Input thresholds are TTL/low voltage CMOS compat-
ible over the entire operating V
CC
range.
7. All AD558 grades are available in chip form with guaranteed
specifications from +25
C to T
MAX
. MIL-STD-883, Class B
visual inspection is standard on Analog Devices bipolar
chips. Contact the factory for additional chip information.
8. The AD558 is available in versions compliant with MIL-
STD-883. Refer to Analog Devices Military Products Data-
book or current AD558/883B data sheet for detailed

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The AD558 consists of four major functional blocks, fabricated
on a single monolithic chip (see Figure 2). The main D-to-A
converter section uses eight equally-weighted laser-trimmed
current sources switched into a silicon-chromium thin-film
R/2R resistor ladder network to give a direct but unbuffered 0
mV to 400 mV output range. The transistors that form the
DAC switches are PNPs; this allows direct positive-voltage logic
interface and a zero-based output range.

Figure 2. AD558 Functional Block Diagram
The high speed output buffer amplifier is operated in the non-
inverting mode with gain determined by the user-connections
at the output range select pin. The gain-setting application
resistors are thin-film laser-trimmed to match and track the
DAC resistors and to assure precise initial calibration of the two
output ranges, 0 V to 2.56 V and 0 V to 10 V. The amplifier
output stage is an NPN transistor with passive pull-down for
zero-based output capability with a single power supply. The
internal precision voltage reference is of the patented bandgap
type. This design produces a reference voltage of 1.2 volts and
thus, unlike 6.3 volt temperature compensated Zeners, may be
operated from a single, low voltage logic power supply. The
microprocessor interface logic consists of an 8-bit data latch and
control circuitry. Low power, small geometry and high speed
are advantages of the I
2
L design as applied to this section. I
2
L is
bipolar process compatible so that the performance of the ana-
log sections need not be compromised to provide on-chip logic
capabilities. The control logic allows the latches to be operated
from a decoded microprocessor address and write signal. If the
application does not involve a
P or data bus, wiring CS and
CE to ground renders the latches "transparent" for direct DAC
access.
MIL-STD-883
The rigors of the military/aerospace environment, temperature
extremes, humidity, mechanical stress, etc., demand the utmost
in electronic circuits. The AD558, with the inherent reliability
of integrated circuit construction, was designed with these ap-
plications in mind. The hermetically-sealed, low profile DIP
package takes up a fraction of the space required by equivalent
modular designs and protects the chip from hazardous environ-
ments. To further ensure reliability, military temperature range
AD558 grades S and T are available screened to MIL-STD-883.
For more complete data sheet information consult the Analog
Devices' Military Databook.
CHIP AVAILABILITY
The AD558 is available in laser-trimmed, passivated chip form.

CONNECTING THE AD558
The AD558 has been configured for ease of application. All ref-
erence, output amplifier and logic connections are made inter-
nally. In addition, all calibration trims are performed at the
factory assuring specified accuracy without user trims. The only
connection decision that must be made by the user is a single
jumper to select output voltage range. Clean circuit board lay-
out is facilitated by isolating all digital bit inputs on one side of
the package; analog outputs are on the opposite side.
Figure 3 shows the two alternative output range connections.
The 0 V to 2.56 V range may be selected for use with any power
supply between +4.5 V and +16.5 V. The 0 V to 10 V range
requires a power supply of +11.4 V to +16.5 V.

Figure 3. Connection Diagrams
Because of its precise factory calibration, the AD558 is intended
to be operated without user trims for gain and offset; therefore
no provisions have been made for such user trims. If a small in-
crease in scale is required, however, it may be accomplished
by slightly altering the effective gain of the output buffer. A
resistor in series with V
OUT
SENSE will increase the output
range.
For example if a 0 V to 10.24 V output range is desired (40 mV
= 1 LSB), a nominal resistance of 850
is required. It must be
remembered that, although the internal resistors all ratio-
match and track, the absolute tolerance of these resistors is
typically
20% and the absolute TC is typically 50 ppm/
C
(0 to 100 ppm/
C). That must be considered when rescaling is
performed. Figure 4 shows the recommended circuitry for a
full-scale output range of 10.24 volts. Internal resistance values
shown are nominal.

The only consideration in selecting a supply voltage is that, in
order to be able to use the 0 V to 10 V output range, the power
supply voltage must be between +11.4 V and +16.5 V. If, how-
ever, the 0 V to 2.56 V range is to be used, power consumption
will be minimized by utilizing the lowest available supply voltage
(above +4.5 V).
TIMING AND CONTROL
The AD558 has data input latches that simplify interface to 8-
and 16-bit data buses. These latches are controlled by Chip
Enable (CE) and Chip Select (CS) inputs. CE and CS are inter-
nally "NORed" so that the latches transmit input data to the
DAC section when both CE and CS are at Logic "0". If the ap-
plication does not involve a data bus, a "00" condition allows
for direct operation of the DAC. When either CE or CS go to
Logic "1", the input data is latched into the registers and held
until both CE and CS return to "0". (Unused CE or CS inputs
should be tied to ground.) The truth table is given in Table I.
The logic function is also shown in Figure 6.

In a level-triggered latch such as that in the AD558 there is an
interaction between data setup and hold times and the width of
the enable pulse. In an effort to reduce the time required to test
all possible combinations in production, the AD558 is tested

same reason.
GROUNDING AND BYPASSING*
All precision converter products require careful application of
good grounding practices to maintain full rated performance.
Because the AD558 is intended for application in microcom-
puter systems where digital noise is prevalent, special care must
be taken to assure that its inherent precision is realized.
The AD558 has two ground (common) pins; this minimizes
ground drops and noise in the analog signal path. Figure 5
shows how the ground connections should be made.

Figure 5. Recommended Grounding and Bypassing
It is often advisable to maintain separate analog and digital
grounds throughout a complete system, tying them common in
one place only. If the common tie-point is remote and acciden-
tal disconnection of that one common tie-point occurs due to
card removal with power on, a large differential voltage between
the two commons could develop. To protect devices that inter-
face to both digital and analog parts of the system, such as the
AD558, it is recommended that common ground tie-points
should be provided at each such device. If only one system
ground can be connected directly to the AD558, it is recom-
mended that analog common be selected.
POWER SUPPLY CONSIDERATIONS
The AD558 is designed to operate from a single positive power
supply voltage. Specified performance is achieved for any supply
voltage between +4.5 V and +16.5 V. This makes the AD558
ideal for battery-operated, portable, automotive or digital main-
frame applications.

Separate access to the feedback resistor of the output amplifier
allows additional application versatility. Figure 8a shows how
I
R drops in long lines to remote loads may be cancelled by
putting the drops "inside the loop." Figure 8b shows how the
separate sense may be used to provide a higher output current
by feeding back around a simple current booster.

OPTIMIZING SETTLING TIME
In order to provide single-supply operation and zero-based
output voltage ranges, the AD558 output stage has a passive
"pull-down" to ground. As a result, settling time for negative
going output steps may be longer than for positive-going output
steps. The relative difference depends on load resistance and
capacitance. If a negative power supply is available, the
negative-going settling time may be improved by adding a pull-
down resistor from the output to the negative supply as shown
in Figure 9. The value of the resistor should be such that, at
zero voltage out, current through that resistor is 0.5 mA max.
BIPOLAR OUTPUT RANGES
The AD558 was designed for operation from a single power
supply and is thus capable of providing only unipolar (0 V to
+2.56 V and 0 V to 10 V) output ranges. If a negative supply is

available, bipolar output ranges may be achieved by suitable
output offsetting and scaling. Figure 10 shows how a
1.28 volt
output range may be achieved when a 5 volt power supply is
available. The offset is provided by the AD589 precision 1.2 volt
reference which will operate from a +5 volt supply. The AD544
output amplifier can provide the necessary
1.28 volt output
swing from
5 volt supplies. Coding is complementary offset
binary.

MEASURING OFFSET ERROR
One of the most commonly specified endpoint errors associated
with real-world nonideal DACs is offset error.
In most DAC testing, the offset error is measured by applying
the zero-scale code and measuring the output deviation from 0
volts. There are some DACs, like the AD558 where offset errors
may be present but not observable at the zero scale, because of
other circuit limitations (such as zero coinciding with single-
supply ground) so that a nonzero output at zero code cannot be
read as the offset error. Factors like this make testing the
AD558 a little more complicated.
By adding a pulldown resistor from the output to a negative
supply as shown in Figure 11, we can now read offset errors
at zero code that may not have been observable due to circuit
limitations. The value of the resistor should be such that, at zero
voltage out, current through the resistor is 0.5 mA max.

INTERFACING THE AD558 TO MICROPROCESSOR
DATA BUSES
The AD558 is configured to act like a "write only" location in
memory that may be made to coincide with a read only memory
location or with a RAM location. The latter case allows data
previously written into the DAC to be read back later via the
RAM. Address decoding is partially complete for either ROM
or RAM. Figure 12 shows interfaces for three popular micropro-
cessor systems.
