DAC8143
In many applications, the DAC8143’s zero scale error and low
gain error, permit the elimination of external trimming compo-
nents without adverse effects on circuit performance.
For applications requiring a tighter gain error than 0.024% at
25°C for the top grade part, or 0.048% for the lower grade part,
the circuit in Figure 17 may be used. Gain error may be trimmed
by adjusting R1.
The DAC register must first be loaded with all 1s. R1 is then
adjusted until VOUT = –VREF (4095/4096). In the case of an
adjustable VREF, R1 and RFEEDBACK may be omitted, with VREF
adjusted to yield the desired full-scale output.
BIPOLAR OPERATION (4-QUADRANT)
Figure 18 details a suggested circuit for bipolar, or offset binary,
operation. Table III shows the digital input-to-analog output
relationship. The circuit uses offset binary coding. Twos comple-
ment code can be converted to offset binary by software inver-
sion of the MSB or by the addition of an external inverter to the
MSB input.
Resistor R3, R4 and R5 must be selected to match within 0.01%
and must all be of the same (preferably metal foil) type to assure
temperature coefficient match. Mismatching between R3 and
R4 causes offset and full-scale error.
Calibration is performed by loading the DAC register with
1000 0000 0000 and adjusting R1 until VOUT = 0 V. R1 and
R2 may be omitted by adjusting the ratio of R3 to R4 to yield
VOUT = 0 V. Full scale can be adjusted by loading the DAC
register with 1111 1111 1111 and adjusting either the amplitude
of VREF or the value of R5 until the desired VOUT is achieved.

DAISY-CHAINING DAC8143s
Many applications use multiple serial input DACs that use
numerous interconnecting lines for address decoding and data
lines. In addition, they use some type of buffering to reduce
loading on the bus. The DAC8143 is ideal for just such an
application. It not only reduces the number of interconnecting
lines, but also reduces bus loading. The DAC8143 can be daisy-
chained with only three lines: one data line, one CLK line and
one load line, see Figure 19.
