THEORY OF OPERATION

DAC SECTION

The architecture consists of a string DAC followed by anoutput buffer amplifier. Figure 1 shows a block diagram of theDAC architecture.

RESISTOR STRING

The resistor string section is shown in Figure 2, it is simply astring of resistors, each of value R. The code loaded into theDAC register determines at which node on the string the voltageis tapped off to be fed into the output amplifier by closing oneof the switches connecting the string to the amplifier. It isensured monotonic because it is a string of resistors.

The input coding to the DAC8501 is straight binary, so theideal output voltage is given by:

VOUT=VREF

where D = decimal equivalent of the binary code that isloaded to the DAC register; it can range from 0 to 65535.
