GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The superior performance of most Preci$ion Monolithics
products is available to the hybrid microcircuit designer. All
chips are 100% electrically tested for all guaranteed DC
parameters at 25°C and are 100% visually inspected to MILSTD-883 visual criteria. Each die is protected with our "Triple
Passivation" Process incorporating an advanced Silicon
Nitride ion barrier plus a thick glass coating over the metallization. Dice are packaged in waffle-pack carriers with an
anti-static shield and cushioning strip placed over the active
surface to assure extra protection during shipment. Precision Monolithics dice provide the highest performance
available coupled with lowest overall finished costs.

For price and delivery information or quotations for special
devices, contact the nearest PMI sales office or representative listed in the back of this catalog.

TRIPLE PASSIVATION

MECHANICAL INFORMATION

Triple Passivation is a three-step process which provides
superior reliability and protection for all Precision Monolithics integrated circuits. First, a specially treated thermal
silicon dioxide layer is grown. This protects the junctions
and also attracts any residual ionic impurities to the top
surface of the oxide, where they are held fixed. Next, a layer
of silicon nitride is applied to prevent the entry of any poten-

DIMENSIONS
All dimensions are nominal and in mils (10-3 inches). Die
thickness is 8 mils min. to 22 mils max.

METALLIZATION
Aluminum metallization with a nominal thickness of 10,000
angstroms is standard for all devices.

BONDING PADS
Minimum bonding pad size is 4.0 mils x 4.0 mils for all

tial contamination or impurities. The third step is the thick
glass overcoat layer which leaves only the bonding pads
exposed. This "glassivation" protects the die from damage
during assembly and is especially important in minimizing
yield loss during shipment and assembly of dice for hybrid
circuits.

All dice are 100%. tested to the +25°C DC specifications
listed in the data sheet section of this catalog. Sample
assembly and testing in standard packages to specified
LTPO of units from customer's dice lot are available at extra
cost.

ASSEMBLY PROCEDURES
ORDERING INFORMATION
All PMI dice are available with either plain backing, orat extra
cost, 3000). minimum alloyed gold backing. Electrical performance is specified at 25° C for all products in the data
sheet section of this catalog. Visual inspection criteria is as
listed below:

Proper shipping and storage, die attachment, and bonding
are required to take advantage of the full performance built
into PMI devices, PMI provides this information but cannot
assume responsibility 'for technology and interface problems in applying dice, nor guarantee results in using the
suggested processing methods; this information is for user
assistance only and is to be used at the user's own discretion.

PAGE 2-4

STORAGE
Assembly begins with storage, because dice which are
metallized with aluminum will slowly oxidize if exposed to
air. This action is very slow, but eventually a thin layer of
aluminum oxide will form on the bonding pads. To keep
oxidation to a minimum, PMI dice are stored in a temperature
and humidity controlled nitrogen atmosphere at the factory
until shipment.
Oxidation is a more serious problem with thermal compression gold ball bonding than it is with ultrasonic aluminum
wire bonding. Ultrasonic aluminum wire bonding can penetrate a thicker layer of aluminum oxide than gold ball bonding. If thermal compression gold ball bonding is used, the
devices should be bonded within a few weeks after shipment.
Storage under dry nitrogen conditions is highly recommended for dice to be used with either type of bonding.

evidence of balling or flaking of die-attach material. After
completing the die-attach operation remove the package
from the heater block.
The die should be level and flat with respect to the package
surface. Die attach material should not touch the top surface
of the die or stand vertically above the edge of the die.

z

CONDUCTIVE EPOXY DIE ATTACHMENT
A solvent and other contaminant-free conductive epoxy
should be used, specifically designed for die-attach use.
Manufacturer's instructions should be carefully followed.
While PMI uses eutectic die-attach exclusively, conductive
epoxy die-attach can be used, although this technique is not
as well-established.

Protection during shipment is provided by the waffle-pack
carrier and its antistatic shield and cushioning strip. In addition the waffle pack is vacuum-sealed in a polyethylene bag.

EUTECTIC DIE ATTACHMENT CONDITIONS
The die-attach area of the package should be gold plated.
While preforms are not generally required, they may be
necessary in some cases depending on die size and the
thickness olthe package's gold plating. If required, preforms
of approximately 0.65 or 0.90 mm diameter with a composition of gold-silicon 98/2 are recommended.
The heater-block used should have a sufficiently large thermal mass plus adequate control to assure a constant package temperature of 420°C ±10°C during the die-attach
operation. Inert gas protection, nitrogen with a flow of
approximately 30 liters/hour, is also recommended.

For ease of handling in die attachment, dice should first be
transferred from their waffle packs to flat glass or metal
plates. Allow the package to soak a sufficient time to acquire
a uniform temperature. (Where necessary place a preform on
the mounting surface.)
Using suitable tweezers, carefully pick up the die from the
supply plate, orient properly and gently scrub in a circular or
back-and-forth motion until eutectic melt is visible completely around the die. Eutectic melt should be visible completely around the periphery of the die. There should be no

PMI uses ultrasonic aluminum wire bonding and recommends its use for best performance. It is also more economical than gold-ball bonding. For specific procedures with
either method, the detailed operation instructions of the
manufacturer of the specific bonding equipment used should
be carefully followed. Asuitable wire for ultrasonic bonding
is Aluminum-Silicon alloy 99/1, Diameter 0.001", elongation
0.5 - 2% tensile strength 14 -16g; but again, specific instructions/recommendations related to the bonding equipment
used should be observed. An average bond pull strength of 4
- 6g, and a minimum limit of 2g should be maintained to
assure mechanical bond quality.

UNUSED PADS
All pads marked with (+) are not to be bonded to by user.
These pads are used by the factory for testing or adjusting

Precision Monolithics believes that quality and reliability
must be built into the product; no amount (If testing can
replace these inherent properties. For this reason, devices
are fabricated and processed to MIL-STD-883 requirements
as standard practice with many exclusive processes and
controls added to improve quality and reliability. The integrity of aluminum metallization is confirmed by sampling
wafer lots using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)
examination per Method 2018 specifications. QA testing of

INTRODUCTION
At Precision Monolithics we introduced our first Op Amp in
1970 and since then we have constantly strived to meet the
needs of the electronic industry. PMI has done this by offering a complete and versatile series of operational amplifiers.
The Op Amp product line at PMI includes a variety of widely
accepted proprietary and second-source products. These
products are designed and manufactured from a diverse
technology base that inciudeslinear bipolar, super-beta, and
BIFET processing techniques along with Zener Zap trimming.
This technology base combined with superiordesign,layout,
and processing techniques provides products with outstanding performance and reliability. Single, Dual, and Quad
amplifiers are offered in plastic, metal and ceramic packages
in military, industrial, and commercial temperature ranges.
Over the past several years, the sophistication and diversity
required of op amps has increased dramatically. High speed,
high input impedance, low noise, and ultra low power have
been just a few of the many areas in which monolithic op
amps have made significant inroads. This has often made the
selection of appropriate operational amplifiers as difficult as

the design of a system using them. As with most designs,
over-specification can be costly and under-specification can
seriously affect system performance.
To overcome this problem, we've developed the selection
guides on the following pages. The simplified guide below
lists the basic application requirements for Op Amps and the
PMI amplifier family that is most likely to fill that requirement.
Consult the following pages for selection guides listing the
key performance parameters of the products in these families.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The OP-01 Series of monolithic Inverting High-Speed Operational Amplifiers combines high slew rate, fast settling time
and excellent DC input characteristics. An internal feedforward frequency compensation network provides simplicity
of application - no external capacitors are required for

stable, high-speed performance. The fastoutput response is
achieved without sacrifice of input bias current or power
consumption. A 250kHz power bandwidth is attained with a
small signal bandwidth of 2.5MHz, allowing non-critical
board layout. The OP-Q1 is completely protected at both
input and output, fits standard 741 sockets, and is offset
nulled with a 10kCl potentiometer.
The low offset voltage. input bias current, and offset voltage
drift vs. temperature provide accurate DC performance in
applications such as channel preamplifiers, fast integrators
and precision summing amplifiers. The fast output response
and excellent settling time makes the OP-01 ideal for use in
Df A converter output amplifiers.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

FAST INVERTING AMPLIFIER"

The OP·01 incorporates an internal feed· forward compensa·
tion network to provide fast slewing and settling times in all
inverting and moderate-to·high gain non-Inverting applica·
tlons. Unity gain bandwidth Is a function of the total
equivalent source resistance seen by the inverting terminal,
and proper choice of this resistance will allow the user to
maximize bandwidth while assuring proper stability. The
equivalent inverting terminal resistance Is defined as
RIN i RF• A total equivalent input terminal resistance ",,3.3kO
will assure stability in all closed loop gain configurations in·
cluding unity gain. Should RIN ~ RF s3.3kO, a resistor (Rs)
may be placed between the inverting input and the sum
node to provide the required reSistance. (See Fast Inverting
Amplifier Diagram.) Lower values of total equivalent
resistance may be used to improve bandwidth in higher
closed loop gain configurations, as indicated by the Open
Loop Gain vs. Frequency plot.

OP·CI1 INVERTING HIGH-SPEED OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER

SETTLING TIME TEST CIRCUIT *

FAST VOLTAGE OUTPUT O/A CONVERTER

Settling time may be measured using the circuit shown; this
circuit incorporates the "false sum node" technique to pro·
duce more accurate, repeatable results. For a 5 volt input
step, 0.1 % settling will be achieved when the false sum
node settles to within ±2.5mV of Its final value. The
oscilloscope used for observation of the false sum node
should have wide bandwidth, fast overload recovery time,
and be used with a low capacity probe (,,;;10pF, including
strays). A Tektronix 7504 scope with a 7A11 probe or
equivalent is suggested. The pulse generator should have a
5011 output impedance and be capable of a 5V rise time in
,,;;2Ons with ringing less than 2.5mV after 0.5,..s. 0.1%
measurements require RIN to equal RF within 0.01 %; R5 and
As are used as trimming resistors to achieve this matching.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The PMI Series of High-Performance GenElral-Purpose Operational Amplifiers provides significant improvements over

industry-standard and "premium" 741 and 741 HStypes while
maintaining pin-for-pin compatibility, ease of application,
and low cost. Key specifications such as Vos, los, I B, CMRR,
PSRR and Avo, are guaranteed over the full operating
temperature range. Precision Monolithics' exclusive SiliconNitride "Triple Passivation" process reduces "popcorn noise."
A thermally-symmetrical input stage design provides low
TCVos, TClos, and insensitivity to output load conditions.
The OP-02 is a direct replacement for the 741. It is ideal for
upgrading existing designs where accuracy improvements
are required and for eliminating special low-drift or low-noise
selected types.
The OP-19 is a high-speed replacement for the 741. It's high
slew rate increases the maximum undistorted output frequencyfrom 5kHz to 10kHz making it ideal fortelecommunications applications.

OFFSET NULLING CIRCUITS (OP-03/0P-04)
DIFFERENTIAL OFFSET VOLTAGE
The amplifier's differential input offset voltage (EOS 1 - EOS2)
will be the major error factor_ If the individual input offset
voltages are of equal magnitude and polarity they appear as
a common mode input and are rejected_

~a:

-Ein

7) Vas error included:
EO = -EIN + ,,5 VOSB

COMMON MODE REJECTION
Because the dual op amp has a high common mode rejection ratio match, the ability to reject common mode inputs
becomes primarily a function of resistor ratio matching_
This device eliminates the need for special op amp selections in many instrumentation amplifier applications_

thermoelectric voltages generated by dissimilar metals at
the contacts to the Input terminals can prevent realization
of the drift performance indicated. Best operation will be obtained when both input contacts are maintained at the same
temperature, preferably close to the temperature of the

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
OP·05 Series devices may be fitted directly to 725 and 1081
108A Series sockets with or without removal of external
compensation components. Additionally, OP..Q5 may be fitted
to unnulled 741 Series sockets; however If conventional 741
nulling circuitry is in use, it should be modified or removed
to enable proper OP'()5 operation. The OP'()5 provides stable
operation with load capacitances up to 500pF and ±10V

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The OP·06 monolithic Instrumentation Operational
Amplifier is specifically deSigned for accurate high-gain
amplification of low level input signals in the presence of
large common-mode voltages. Superior DC input characteristics include very low offset voltage and current, extremely
high open-loop gain, low 1/f and wideband noise, and a
minimum of "popcorn"noise. The extremely low offset

voltage drift is further improved by an advanced nulling
technique that provides optimum TCVos performance when
Vos has been nulled to zero. Very high common mode and
power supply rejection enable accurate performance in the
presence of large spurious signals.
Flexible external compensation provides wide bandwidth
and high slew rate operation in high closed-loop gain applications. The superior long term stability, and compatibility
with MIL-STD-883 processing, make the OP-06 an excellent
choice for high reliability process control and aerospace
applications; including strain gauge and thermocouple amplifiers, low noise audio amplifiers, and instrumentation amplifiers. The OP-06 is a direct replacement for all 725 types
providing superior DC and noise performance plus the unique feature of complete input differential voltage and output
short circuit protection.
See AN-25 for additional information.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The OP-07 Series represents a breakthrough in monolithic
operational amplifier performance - Vos of lOp, V, TeVos of
0.2p,V/o e, and long-term stability of 0.2p,V/month are achieved
by a low-noise, bipolar input transistor amplifier circuit. Elimination of external components for offset nulling, frequency
compensation, and device protection improves the system

MTBF and reduces cost. Excellent device interchangeability
provides reduced system assembly time and eliminates field
recalibrations.
True differential inputs with wide input voltage range and
outstanding common-mode rejection provide excellent performance in high-noise environments and non-inverting
applications. Low bias currents and extremely-high input
impedances are maintained over the entire temperature
range.
The OP-07 provides unparalleled performance for low noise,
high-accuracy amplification of very low-level signals in
transducer applications. Devices are available in chip form
for use in hybrid circuitry. The OP-07 is a direct replacement
for 725, 108A/308A', and OP-05 amplifiers; 741-types may be
directly replaced by removing the 741's nulling potentiometer.
*TO-99 package only. For Matched Dual see OP-207.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

to (Hz)

The OP-08 series has extremely low input offset and bias
currents; the user is cautioned that stray printed circuit
board leakages can produce significant errors, especially at
high board temperatures. Careful attention to board layout
and cleaning procedure is required to fully realize the OP-08
performance. It is suggested that effects of board leakage
be minimized by encircling the input pins with a conductive
guard ring operated at a potential close to that of the inputs.
This guard ring should be driven by a low impedance source,
such as the amplifier's output for non-inverting circuits or
ground for inverting circuits.

Because of the low input bias current of the OP-08 the
resistors could be scaled up by a factor of ten, and thereby
reduce the values of C 1 and C2 at the low frequency end. In
addition ten sections as shown above will only draw a combined supply current of 6mA maximum.

OP·08 PRECISION LOW INPUT CURRENT OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER

The bilateral current source circuit shown on the previous
page will produce the indicated current relationship to within
2% using 1% values for R1 through RS. This includes variations in RL from 1000 to 20000. The use of large resistors for

R1 through R4 minimizes the error due to RL variations. The
large resistors are possible because of the excellent input
bias cu rrent performance of the OP-OS.

ADVANTAGES OF DUAL MATCHED OPERATIONAL
AMPLIFIERS

.,

Dual Matched Operational Amplifiers provide the engineer a
powerful tool for the solution of a number of difficult circuit
design problems including true Instrumentation amplifiers,
extremely low drift, high common-mode rejection DC amplifiers, low DC drift active filters, dual tracking voltage references and many other demanding applications. These designs
are based on the principle that careful matching between two
operational amplifiers can, to a large extent, eliminate the
effect of DC errors inherent in the individual amplifiers.

Reference to the circuit shown, a differential·in, differentialout amplifier, shows how the reductions in error can be accomplished. Assuming the resistors used are Ideally
matched, the gain of each side will be Identical; if the offset
voltages of each amplifier are perfectly matched, then the
net differential voltage at the amplifiers output will be zero.
Note that the output offset error of this amplifier is not a
function of the offset voltage of the Individual amplifiers,
but only a function of the difference (degree of matching)
between the amplifiers' offset voltages. This error-cancellation prinCiple holds for a considerable number of input referred error parameters - offset voltage, offset voltage
drift, inverting and non-inverting bias currents, common
mode and power supply rejection ratios. Note also that the
impedances of each input, both common mode and dlfferen- .
tial mode, are extremely high and can also be tightly
matched, an important feature not possible with single
operational amplifier circuits. Common-mode rejection can
be made exceptionally high; this is especially important in

Instrumentation amplifiers where errors due to large common mode voltages can be far greater than those due to
noise or drift with temperature.
(For example, consider the case of two op amps, each with
BOdS (100I'VN) CMRR. However, if the CMRR of one device
is +100I'VN while CMRR of the the other is -100I'VN for a
net 200I'VlV CMRR match, the resultant input referred error
over a 10V common mode input signal will be 2mV.)
POWER SUPPLIES

The V+ supply terminals are completely independent and
may be powered by separate supplies if desired (this approach, however, would sacrifice the advantages of the
power supply rejection ratio matching). The V- supply terminals are both connected to the common substrate and
must be tied to the same voltage.

OFFSET TRIMMING

TYPICAL PERFORMANCE OF
INSTRUMENTATION AMPLIFIERS
GAIN=100

Offset trimming terminals are provided for each amplifier of
the OP-l0 - however, guaranteed performance over temperature can be obtained by trimming only one side (side A)
to match the offset of the other for a net differential offset
of zero_ This is due to the specific procedure used during
factory testing of the devices; however, results which are
essentially the same may be obtained by trimming side B to
match side A, or by nulling each side individually.

The OP-l0 is designed to provide lowest drift performance
when trimmed with a 20k{J potentiometer; this value provides about ± 4mV of adjustment range which should be
considerably more than adequate for most applications.
Where finer resolution of trimming is desired, or where unwanted changes in potentiometer position with time and
temperature could create unacceptable offsets, the sensitivity to offset vs. potentiometer position may be reduc by
using the circuit shown below.

ORDERING INFORMATIONt

The PMI OP-12 is an improved version olthe popular LM108A
low-power op amp. The OP-12 is internally compensated and
its chip dimensions are only 42 x 58 mils. Additionally, the
OP·12 has a three times lower offset voltage and a two times
lower offset voltage drift. The total worst case input offset
voltage over-55°C to +125°C for the OP-12Alis only 350l'V
while the 108A has 900l'V to 1000l'V for these conditions. In
addition, the OP-12 drives a 2k!1load. This is five times the
output current capability of the 108A. This excellent performance is achieved by applying PMl's ion-implanted super
beta process and on·chip zener-zap trimming capabilities.
The internal compensation makes this op amp ideal for
hybrid assembly applications.

performance to many dielectrically-isolated and hybrid opamps. All devices offer offset voltages as low as 0.5mV with
TeVOS guaranteed to 5pVJ o C. A unique input bias cancellation
circuit reduces the I B by a factor of 10 over conventional
designs. In addition, PMI specifies IBand los with the devices
warmed up and operating at 25°C ambient.
These devices were deSigned to provide real precision performance along with high speed. Although they can be
nulled, the design objective was to provide low offset-voltage
without nulling. Systems generally become more cost effective as the number of error correcting "knobs" is decreased.
PMI achieves this performance by use of an improved BIFET
process coupled with on-chip, zener-zap offset trimming.
The OP-15 provides an excellent combination of high speed
and low input offset voltage. In addition, the OP-15 offers the
speed of the 156A op amp with the power dissipation of a
155A. The combination of a low input offset voltage of 500pV,
slew rate of 17V1ps, and settling time of 900 ns to 0.1 % makes
the OP-15 an op amp of both precision and speed. The additional features of low supply current coupled with an input
bias current of 9nA at 1250 C ambient (not junction) temperature makes the OP-15 ideal for a wide range of applications.
The OP-16 features a slew rate of 25VJps and a settling time of
700 ns to 0.1% which represents a 100% improvement in
speed overthe 156. Also the OP-16 has all the D.C. features of
the OP-15.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The OP-17 has a slew rate of 70VJps and is the best choice for
applications requiring high closed-loop gain with high speed.
Applications include high-speed amplifiers for current output DACs, active filters, sample-and-hold buffers, and
photocell amplifiers.

The PM I BI FET Series of devices offers clear advantages over
industry-generic BIFET's and is superior in both cost and

See the OP-215 data sheet for a dual configuration of the
OP-15.

NOTES:

2.

Input bias current is specified for two different conditions. The T j = 25°C
specification is with the junction at ambient temperature; the Device
Operating specification is with the device operating in a warmed-up condition at 25 Q C ambient. The warmed-up bias current value is correlated to the
junction temperature value via the curves of Ie vs T j and Ie vs T A. PMI has a
bias current compensation circuit which gives improved bias current over
the standard JFET input op amps. Ie and los are measured at V eM = O.
Settling time is defined here for a unity gain Inverter connection using 2kfl
resistors. It is the time required for the error voltage (the voltage at the

inverting input pin on the amplifier) to settle to within a specified percent of
its final value from the time a 10V step input is applied to the inverter. See
settling time test circuit.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

~

:;!

CURRENT-TO-VOLTAGE AMPLIFIER OUTPUT

order to ensure stability. For example, resistors from the
output to an input should be placed with the body close to
the input to minimize "pick-up" and maximize the frequency
of the feedback pole by minimizing the capacitance from
the Input to ground.
A feedback pole Is created when the feedback around any
amplifier is resistive. The parallel resistance and capacitance
from the input of the device (usually the inverting input) to
AC ground set the frequency of the pole. In many instances
the frequency of this pole is much greater than the expected
3dB frequency of the closed loop gain and consequently
there is negligible effect on stability margin. However, if the
feedback pole is less than approximately six times the ex-

APPLICATION INFORMATION
DYNAMIC OPERATING CONSIDERATIONS

As with most amplifiers, care should be taken with lead
dress, component placement, and supply decoupling in

pected 3dB frequency a lead capacitor should be placed
from the output to the negative input of the op amp. The
value of the added capacitor should be such that the RC
time constant of this capacitor and the resistance it
parallels is greater than,or equal, to the original feedback
pole time constant.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The OP·18 Series of High Performance General Purpose
Operational Amplifiers provides significant improvements

over industry·standard and "premium" 748, 101 and 777
types while maintaining pin·for·pin compatibility, ease of
application, and low cost. Key specifications, such as Vos,
los, Ie, CMRR, PSRR and Avo, are guaranteed over the full
operating temperature range. Precision Monolithics' ex·
clusive Silicon·Nitride "Triple Passivation" process reduces
"popcorn noise." A thermally·symmetrical input stage
design provides low TCVos. TClos and insensitivity to output load conditions. The OP·18 Series is ideal for upgrading
existing designs where accuracy improvements are required
and for eliminating special low drift or low noise selected
types. OP·18's with MIL·STD-883 processing are available.
The choice of the compensating capaCitor allows the user
to tailor slew rate, open loop bandwidth and maximum un·
distorted output swing for the application.

operation. Offset voltages as low as 250!'V maximum and
offset voltage drifts as low as 1.5!,V/o C maximum are available
with supply currents ranging between 45!,A and 95!,A maximum. Common-mode input voltage range includes ground
to accommodate low, ground·referenced inputs from strain
gauges or thermocouples. The OP-20 pinout and offset
nulling technique is identical to the industry standard 741
device, offering an instant system upgrade in many applica·
tions. The monolithic construction makes the OP·20 ideal
for use in hybrid designs, replacing devices such as the
LM108, LMl12, LM4250, ICL8021 and others.

Socket Compatible with 5534

The OP-24 is pin compatible with the 5534 and can often be
used to upgrade de,signs through direct replacement of the
5534. For high gain applications (Av>5),the decompensated
OP-34 is recommended. AC performance can be improved
substantially through use ofthe OP-34 for high-gain applications. These two amplifiers, the OP-24 and OP-34, offer
excellent AC performance for audio, active filter, and data
conversion applications, while retaining the low DC offsets
which are characteristic of PMI products.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The OP-24 and OP-34 op amps offer a unique combination of
low noise, wide bandwidth, and high gain without sacrifice
of input offset performance. Input bias current is under
85nA and maximum input offset voltage is only 170jLV. In
addition, a double-buffered output stage can deliver ±11.5V
into a 6000 load.
This excellent performance in a low cost, plastic minidip
package makes the OP-24 and OP-34 an ideal choice for use
in professional and consumer audio equipment; such as
phono, tape, and microphone pre-amplifiers. The guarantees
in maximum noise and minimum slew rates assure high
performance on a production basis. In many AC amplifier
applications, the low DC offsets allow direct coupling between
gain stages. The usual coupling capacitors can often be
eliminated when using the PMI OP-24/0P-34.

OFFSET NULLING CIRCUIT

During the fast feedthrough-like portion of the output, the
input protection diodes effectively short the output to the
input and a current, limited only by the output short circuit
protection, will be drawn by the signal generator. With R,;::
5000, the output is capable of handling the current requirements (I L $ 20mA at 10V) and the amplifier stays in its active
mode and a smooth transition will occur.

~......---ov+

>-"::""-00 OUTPUT

OPTIMIZING LINEARITY
Best linearity can be obtained by designing for the minimum
output current required for the application. High gain and
excellent linearity can be achieved by operating the op amp
within an output current range of ±10mA.

As with all operational amplifiers, when R,> 2kO a pole will be
created with R, and the amplifier's input capacitance (8pF),
creating additional phase shift and reducing the phase margin. A small capacitor (20 to 50pF) in parallel with R, will
eliminate this problem.

PULSED OPERATION

COMMENTS ON NOISE MEASUREMENTS
The extremely low noise of the OP-24 and OP-34 implies that
its precise measurement is a difficult task. In order to realize
the 80nV peak-to-peak noise specification of the op amp in
the 0.1 Hz to·10 Hz frequency range, the following constraints
have to be observed:
(1) The device has to be warmed up for at least five minutes.
As the op amp warms up, its offset voltage changes typically
4p.V due to its chip temperature increasing 14 to 20· C from
the moment the power supplies are turned on. In the 10sec
measurement interval these temperature-induced effects
can easily exceed tens of nanovolts.

AUDIO APPLICATIONS
The following applications information has been abstracted
from Electronic Design magazine and updated. The authors

This circuit is capable of very low distortion over its entire
range, generally below 0.01% at levels up to 7-V rms. At 3-V
output levels, it will produce less than 0.03% total harmonic
distortion at frequencies up to 20 kHz.
Capacitor C3and resistor R4 form a simple-6-dB-per-octave
rumble filter, with a corner at 22 Hz. As an option, the switchselected shunt capacitor C 4, a non polarized electrolytic,
bypasses the low-frequency rolloff. Placing the rumble filter's high-pass action after the preamp has the desirable
result of discriminating against the RIAA-amplified lowfrequency noise components and pickup-produced lowfrequency disturbances.

~~
C3

For the values shown, the gain is just under 100 (or 40 dB).
Lower gains can be accommodated by increasing R3, but
gains higher than 40 dB will show more equalization errors,
because of the 8-MHz gain-bandwidth of the OP-24.

~.1~F ~:k

A preamplifier for NAB tape playback is similar to an RIAA
phono preamp, though more gain is typically demanded,
along with equalization requiring a heavy low-frequency
boost. The circuit in Fig. 1 can be readily modified for tape
use, as shown by Fig. 2.

Figure 1 is an example of a phono pre-amplifier circuit using
the OP-24 for AI; R1-Rz-C 1-C 2 form a very accurate RIAA
network with standard component values. The popular method
to accomplish RIAA phono equalization is to employ
frequency-dependent feedback around a high-quality gain
block. Properly chosen, an RC network can provide the three
necessary time constants of 3180, 318 and 75 pS.l
For initial equalization accuracy and stability, precision
metal-film resistors and film capacitors of polystyrene or
polypropylene are recommended, since they have low voltage
coefficients, dissipation factors, and dielectric absorption. 4
(High-K ceramic capacitors should be avoided here, though
low-K ceramics-such as NPO types, which have excellent
dissipation factors, and somewhat lower dielectric absorptioncan be considered for small values or where space is at a
premium.)
NOISE AND GAIN CONSIDERATIONS

The OP-24 brings a 3.2-nV/y'HZ voltage noise and 0.45pAly'HZ current noise to this circuit. To minimize nOise from
other sources, R3 is set to a value of 100-0, which generates a
voltage noise of 1.3 nVly'HZ. The noise increases the 3.2nVly'HZ of the amplifier by only 0.7 dB. With a 1-kO source,
the circuit nOise measures 63 dB below a 1-mV reference
level, unweighted, in a 20-kHz noise bandwidth.

T1 = 3180.u5 T2 = 50"S

While the tape-equalization requirement has a flat highfrequency gain above 3 kHz (Tr 50 ps), the amplifier need
not be stabilized for unity gain. The decompensated OP-34
provides a greater bandwidth and slew rate. For many applications, the idealized time constants shown may require
trimming of Rl and R2 to optimize frequency response for
non ideal tape-head performance and other factors. 5
The network values of the configuration yield a 50-dB gain at
1 kHz, and the dc gain is greater than 70 dB. Thus, the
worst-case output offset is just over 500 mY. A single 0.47-pF
output capacitor can block this level, without affecting the
dynamic range.
The tape head can be coupled directly to the amplifier input,
since the worst-case bias current of 85 nA with a 400-mH,
100-pin. head (such as the PRB2H7K) will not be troublesome.
One potential tape-head problem is presented by amplifier
bias-current transients which can magnetize a head. The
OP-24 and OP-34 are free of bias-current transients, upon
power up or power down. However, it is always advantageous
to control the speed of power-supply rise and fall, to eliminate transients.1

In addition, the dc resistance of the head should be carefully
controlled, and preferably below 1-kO. For this configuration, the bias-current-induced offset voltage can be greater
than the 170-pV maximum offset, if the head resistance is not
sufficiently controlled.

A simple but effective fixed-gain transformerless microphone preamp (Fig. 3) amplifies differential signals from lowimpedance microphones by SO dB, and has an input impedance of 2 kO. Because of the high working gain of the
circuit, an OP-34 helps to preserve bandwidth, which will be
110 kHz. As the OP-34 is a decompensated device (minimum
stable gain of S), a dummy resistor, R p, may be necessary, if
the microphone is to be unplugged. Otherwise the 100%
feedback from the open input may cause the amplifier to
oscillate.

Gain may be trimmed to other levels if desired, by adjusting
R2 or R1. Because of the low offset voltage of the OP-24, the
output offset of this circuitwili be very low, 1.7 mVor less, fora
40-dB gain. The typical output blocking capacitor can be
eliminated in such cases, but is desirable for higher gains to
eliminate switching transients.

OUTPUT

Capacitor C 2and resistor R2 form a 2-p.s time constant in this
circuit, as recommended for optimum transient response by
the transformer manufacturer. With C 2 in use, A1 must have
unity-gain stability. For situations where the 2-p.s time constant is not necessary, C 2 can be deleted, allowing the faster
OP-34 to be employed.

R4

Common-mode input-noise rejection will depend upon the
match of the bridge-resistor ratios. Either close-tolerance
(0.1%) types should be used, or R4should be trimmed for best
CMRR. All resistors should be metal-film types, for best stability and low noise.
Noise performance of this circuit is limited more by the input
resistors R1 and R2 than by the op amp, as R1 and R2 each
generate a 4-nVlVRZ' noise, while the op amp generates a
3.2-nV/v'Hz noise. The rms sum of these predominant noise
sources will be about 6 nVlv'Hz, equivalent to 0.9 p.V in a
20-kHz noise bandwidth, or nearly 61 dB below a 1-mV input
signal. Measurements confirm this predicted performance.
For applications demanding appreciably lower noise, a highquality microphone-transformer-coupled preamp (Fig. 4)
incorporates the internally compensated OP-24. T1 is a
JE-11SK-E 1S00/1S-kO transformer which provides an
optimum source resistance for the OP-24 device. The circuit
has an overall gain of 40 dB, the product of the transformer's
voltage setup and the op amp's voltage gain.

Some comment on noise is appropriate to understand the
capability of this circuit. A 1S0-0 resistor and R1 and R2 gain
resistors connected to a noiseless amplifier will generate 220
nV of noise in a 20-kHz bandwidth, or 73 dB below a 1-mV
reference level. Any practical amplifier can only approach
this noise level; it can never exceed it. With the OP-24 and T1
specified, the additional noise degradation will be close to 3.6
dB (or -69.S dB referenced to 1 mV).

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The world's first triple threat Op Amp, the OP-27, offers the
ideal features of precision, low noise and high speed in one
monolithic device. This low-noise instrumentation Op Amp
combines the exceptional DC performance of the OP-07
(Vos of10IlV, TCVos of 21lV/°C) with a truly awesome noise
performance (en = 3.5nV/VHz at 10Hz) and a remarkably low
1/f noise corner frequency (2.7Hz). The high-speed performance is assured by a gain-bandwidth product of 8MHz and
a slew rate of 2.8Vllsec.
In addition, this device has a gain of 1.5M with 1kflload while
consuming 3mA. The OP-27 also features an I B of ± 1OnA and

an los of 7nA. These surprisingly low currents are realized
through the use of a unique input bias current cancellation
circuit which typically holds IB and los of ±20nA and 15nA
resepectively, over the full military temperature range .
Other sources of input referred errors, such as PSRR and
CMRR, are reduced by factors in excess of 120dB. These
characteristics, coupled with long term drift of O.2IlV/month,
allow the circuit designer to achieve performance levels previously attained by only the most complex and expensive
hybrid or discrete designs.

Low cost, high volume production of OP-27 is achieved by
electronic adjustment of an on-chip zener-zap offset trimming network during initial factory testing. This reliable and
stable zener-zap trimming scheme has demonstrated its
effectiveness over seven years of production history.

The OP-27 provides unparalleled performance for low noise,
high accuracy amplification of very low level signals in
transducer applications. Other applications include stable
integrators, precision summing amplifiers for analog computation and test equipment, ultra-precise voltage threshOld
detectors, comparators, and audio ci rcuits such as tape head
and microphone preamplifiers.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
OP-27 Series units may be inserted directly into 725, OP-06,
OP-07 and OP-05 sockets with or without removal of external
compensation or nulling components. Additionally, OP-27
may be fitted to unnulled 741-type sockets; however, if conventlonal.741 nulling circuitry is in use, it should be modified
or removed to enable proper OP-27 operation. OP-27 offset
voltage may be nulled to zero (or other desired setting)
through use of a potentiometer (see offset nulling circuit).
The OP-27 provides stable operation with load capacitances
up to 2000pF and ±10V swings; larger capacitances should
be decoupled with a son decoupling resistor.
The designer is cautioned that stray thermoelectric voltages
generated by dissimilar metals at the contacts to the input
terminals can prevent realization of the drift performance
indicated. Best operation will be obtained when both input
contacts are maintained at the same temperature, preferably
close to the temperature of the device's package.

OFFSET VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT
The input offset voltage of the o P-27 , and its drift with
temperature, are permanently trimmed at wafer testing to a
very low level. However, if further adjustment of Ves is necessary, nulling with a 10kn potentiometer will not degrade
TCVes (see offset nulling circuit). Other potentiometer
values from 1kn to 1Mn can be used with a slight degradation
(0.1 to 0.2p.Vlo C) of TCVes. Trimming to a value other than
zero creates a drift of (Vesl300)p.Vo C, e.g. if Ves is adjusted
to 100p.V, the change in TCVes will be 0.33p.VloC. The offset
voltage adjustment range with a 10kn potentiometer is
±4mV.lf smaller adjustment range is required, the sensitivity
and/or resolution of the nulling can be increased by using a
smaller pot in conjunction with fixed resistors. For example,

4.7k

lk POT

4.71<

this network will have a ±280p.V adjustment range.

PAGE 5-138

OP-27 ULTRA-LOW NOISE PRECISION OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER

OPTIMIZING LINEARITY

Best linearity can be obtained by designing for the minimum
output current required for the application. High gain and
excellent linearity can be achieved by operating the op amp
within an output current range of ±10mA.
UNITY GAIN BUFFER APPLICATIONS
When Rt S 100.0 and the input is driven with a fast, large
signal pulse (> W), the output waveform will look as shown
in the pulsed operation diagram.

A noise-voltage density test is recommended when measuring
noise on a large number of units. A 10 Hz noise-voltage density
measurement will correlate well with a 0.1 Hz-to-10 Hz peak-topeak noise reading since both results are determined by the
white noise and the location of the 1/f corner frequency.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

II

BURN-IN CIRCUIT

During the fast feedthrough-like portion of the output, the
input protection diodes effectively short the output to the
input and a current, limited only by the output short circuit
protection, will be drawn by the signal generator. With Rt 2:
500.0, the output is capable of handling the current requirements (ILS 20mAat 10V) and the amplifier stays In its active
mode and a smooth transition will occur.
As with all operational amplifiers when R, > 2kn, a pole will
be created with Rt and the amplifier's input capacitance
(8pF), creating additional phase shift and reducing the phase
margin. A small capacitor (20 to 50pf) in parallel with Rtwill
eliminate this problem.

OFFSET NULLING CIRCUIT

COMMENTS ON NOISE MEASUREMENTS

The extremely low noise of the OP-27 implies that its precise
measurement is a difficult task. In order to realize the 80nV
peak-to-peak noise specification of the op amp in the 0.1 Hz
to 10 Hz frequency range, the following constraints have to
be observed:
(1) The device has to be warmed up for at least five minutes.
As shown in the warm-up drift curve, as the op amp warms
up, its offset voltage changes typically 4/JV due to its chip
temperature increasing 14 to 20°C from the moment the
power supplies are turned on. In the 10 sec measurement
interval these temperature-induced effects can easily
exceed tens of nanovolts.

5-0......---<> v+
>-.:!..---OOUTPUT

PULSED OPERATION

(2) For similar reasons, the device has to be well shielded
from air currents to eliminate the possibility of thermoelectric effects in excess of a few nanovolts invalidating
the measurements.
(3) Sudden motion in the vicinity of the device can also "feedthrough" to increase the observed noise.
(4) The test time to measure 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz noise should not
exceed 10 sec. As shown in the noise tester frequency
response curve the 0.1 Hz corner is defined by only one
zero. The test time of 10 sec acts as an additional zero to
eliminate noise contributions from the frequency band
belOW 0.1 Hz.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
A matchless combination of precision D.C. performance,low
noise and wide bandwidth is featured in the OP-37 ~ an
Operational Amplifier designed to maximize speed in applications requiring gains greater than five.
This low-noise instrumentation Op Amp combines the exceptional DC performance of the OP-07 (Vos of 10p.V,
TCVos of O.2p.V/OC) with a truly awesome noise perfor-

mance (en = 3.5nV/y'Hz at 10Hz) and a remarkably low 1/f
noise corner frequency (2.7Hz). The high speed performance is assured by a gain-bandwidth product of 63MHz,
and a slew rate of 17V1p.sec .
In addition, this device has a gain of 1.5 million with a 1kO
load while consuming 3mA. The OP-37 also features an 18 of
± 1OnA and an los of7nA. These surprisingly low currents are
realized through the use of a unique input bias current cancellation circuit which typically holds 18 and los of ±20nA
and 15nA, respectively, over the full military temperature
range.
Other sources of input referred errors, such as PSRR and
CMRR, are reduced by factors in excess of 120dB. These
characteristics, coupled with long term drift of O.2p.Vlmonth
allow the circuit deSigner to achieve performance levels previously attained .by only the most complex and expensive
hybrid or discrete designs.
The OP-3i brings low nOise instrumentation type performance to such diverse applications as microphone, NABtape
head, and RIAA phone preamplifiers, high speed signal conditioning for data acquisition systems, wide bandwidth instrumentation and high !lpeed analog controllers. The OP-37
also can be used as a comparator to discriminate extremely
low voltages.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

Offset Voltage Adjustment

OP-37 Series units may be inserted directly into 725. OP-06,
OP-07 and OP-05 sockets with or without removal of external compensation or nulling components. In addition, the
OP-37 may be fitted to unnulled 741-type sockets; however,
if conventional 741 nulling circuitry is in use, it should be
modified or removed to enable proper OP-37 operation. OP37 offset voltage may be nulled to zero (or other desired
setting) through use of a potentiometer (see offset nulling
circuit).

The input offset voltage of the OP-37 and its drift with
temperature are permanently trimmed at wafer testing to a
very low level. However, iffurther adjustment of Vos is necessary, nulling with a 10kO potentiometer will not degrade
TCVos (see offset nulling circuit). Other potentiometer
values from 1 kO to 1MOcan be used with a slight degradation
(0.1 to 0.2I'VlOC) of TCVos. Trimming to a value other than
OFFSET NULLING CIRCUIT

The OP-37 provides stable operation with load capacitances
up to 2500pF and ±10V swings; larger capacitances should
be decoupled with a 500 decoupling resistor.
The designer is cautioned that stray thermoelectric voltages
generated by dissimilar metals at the contacts to the input
terminals can prevent realization of the drift performance
indicated. Best operation will be obtained when both Input
contacts are maintained at the same temperature, preferably
close to the temperature of the device's package.

OP-207 DUAL, ULTRA-LOW Vas, MATCHED OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER

APPLICATION OF DUAL MATCHED OPERATIONAL
AMPLIFIERS
ADVANTAGES OF DUAL MATCHED OPERATIONAL
AMPLIFIERS

Dual Matched Operational Amplifiers provide the engineer a
powerful tool for the solution of a number of difficult circuit
design problems including true instrumentation amplifiers,
extremely low drift, high common mode rejection DC amplifiers, low DC drift active filters, dual tracking voltage references and many other demanding applications. These designs are based oil the principle that careful matching
between two operational amplifiers can, to a large extent,
eliminate the effect of DC errors inherent in the individual
amplifiers.
Reference to the circuit, a differential-in, differential-out
amplifier, shows how the reductions in error can be accomplished. Assuming the resistors used are ideally matched,
the gain of each side will be identical; ifthe offset voltages of
each amplifier are perfectly matched, then the net differential voltage at the amplifiers output will be zero. Note that the
output offset error of this amplifier Is not a function of the
offset voltage ofthe individual amplifiers, but only a function
of the difference (degree of matching) between the amplifiers' offset voltages. This error-cancellation principle holds
for a considerable number of input referred error parameters
- offset voltage, offset voltage drift, inverting and. nonInverting bias currents, common-mode and power supply

POWER SUPPLIES

The V+ supply terminals are completely independent and
may be powered by separate supplies if desired (this
approach, however. would sacrifice the advantages of the
power supply rejection ratio matching). The V- supply terminals are both connected to the common substrate and
must be tied to the same voltage.

rejection ratios. Note also that the impedances of each input,
both common-mode and differential mode, are extremely
high and can also be tightly matched, an important feature
not possible with single operational amplifier circuits. Common mode rejection can be made exceptionally high; this is
especially important in instrumentation amplifiers where
errors due to large common-mode voltages can be far
greater than those due to noise or drift with temperature.
(For example, consider the case of two op amps, each with
BOdS (100IOVIV) CMRR. However, if the CMRR of one device
is +100IOVIV while CMRR of the other is -100I'VlV for a net
200l'VlV CMRR match, the resultant input reference error
over a 10V common-mode input signal will be 2mV.

6

-

Offset trimming terminals are provided for each ampllfer of
the OP-207 - however. guaranteed performance over temperature can be obtained by trimming only one side (side A)
to match the offset of the other for a net differential offset of
zero. This is due to the specific procedure used during factory testing of the devices; however. results which are essentially the same may be obtained to trimming side S to match
side A, or by nulling each side individually.
The OP-207 is designed to provide lowest drift performance
when trimmed with a 20kO potentiometer; this value provides about ±4mV of adjustment range which should be
considerably more than adequate for most applications.
When finer resolution of trimming is desired, or where
unwanted changes in potentiometer position with time and
temperature could create unacceptable offsets. the sensitivity to offset potentiometer position may be reduced by using
the circuit.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

tracking and convenience advantages of a Dual Op-Amp
configuration.
Low input offset voltages, low input currents and minimal
drift parameters are featured in these high speed amplifiers.
On-chip Zener Zap trimming is used to achieve low Vos while
a bias current compensation scheme gives a low input bias
current at elevated temperatures. Thus the OP-2l5 features
an input bias current of l8nA at 125°C ambient (not junction)
temperature which greatly extends the application usefulness of this device.
Applications include high speed amplifiers for current output DACs, active filters, sample-and-hold buffers, and photocell amplifiers. For additional precision JFETop amps, see
the OP-15, OP-16 and OP-17 data sheets.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

TYPICAL BURN-IN CIRCUIT

DYNAMIC OPERATING CONSIDERATIONS
As with most amplifiers, care should be taken with lead
dress, component placement and supply decoupling in
order to ensure stability. For example, resistors from the
output to an input should be placed with the body close to
the input to minimize "pick-up" and maximize the frequency
of the feedback pole by minimizing the capacitance from the
input to ground.

("J" AND .. z.. PACKAGES ONLY)

A feedback pole is created when the feedback around any
amplifier is resistive. The parallel resistance and capacitance
from the input of the device (usually the inverting input) to
AC ground sets the frequency of the pole. In many instances
the frequency of this pole is much greater than the expected
3dB frequency of the closed loop gain and consequently
there is negligible effect on stability margin. However, if the
feedback pole is less than approximately six times the
expected 3dB frequency, a lead capacitor should be placed
from the output to the negative input of the op amp. The
value of the added capacitor should be such that the RC time
constant of this capacitor and the resistance it parallels is
greater than or equal to the original feedback pole time
constant.

SPECIAL NOTES ON THE APPLICATION OF
DUAL MATCHED OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS

R3

ADVANTAGES OF DUAL MONOLITHIC
OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS

",.n

Dual Matched Operational Amplifiers provide the engineer
with a powerful tool for the solution of a number of difficult
circuit design problems, including true instrumentation
amplifiers, extremely low drift, high common mode rejection
DC amplifiers, low DC drift active filters, dual tracking vOltage references, and many other demanding applications.
These designs are based on the principle that careful matching between two operationsal amplifiers can, to a large
extent, eliminate the effect of DC errors inherent in the individual amplifiers.
Reference to the circuit shown in Figure 1, a differential-in,
differential-out amplifier, shows how the reductions in error
can be accomplished. Assuming the resistors used are
ideally matched, the gain of each side will be identical. If the
offset voltages of each amplifier are perfectly matched, then
the net differential voltage at the amplifier's output will be

PAGES-18B

OP-220 MICROPOWER PRECISION DUAL OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER

zero. Note that the output offset error of this amplifier is not a
function of the offset voltage of the individual amplifiers, but
only a function of the difference (degree of matching) between the amplifiers' offset voltages. This error-cancellation
principle holds for a considerable number of input referred
error parameters - offset voltage, offset voltage drift, inverting and non-inverting bias currents, common-mode and
power supply rejection ratios. Note also that the impedances
of each input, both common-mode and differential mode, are
extremely high and can also be tightly matched, an important feature not possible with single operational amplifier
circuits. Common mode rejection can be made exceptionally
high; this is especially important in instrumentation amplifiers where errors due to large common-mode voltages can be
far greater than those due to noise or drift with temperature.
For example, consider the case of two op amps, each with
BOdB (1OO!,V/v) CMRR. However, if the CMRR of one device
is +100!'V/v while CMRR of the other is -100!'V/v for a net
200!'V/v CMRR match, the resultant input referred error over
a 10V common-mode input signal will be 2mV.
OFFSET TRIMMING -

Y PACKAGE ONLY

Offset trimming terminals are provided for each amplifier of
the OP-220.
The OP-220 is designed to provide lowest drift performance
when trimmed with a 10kO potentiometer; this value provides about ±4mV of adjustment range which should be
considerably more than adequate for most applications.
Where finer resolution of trimming is desired, or where
unwanted changes in potentiometer position with time and
temperature could create unacceptable offsets, the sensitivity to offset vs. potentiometer position may be reduced by
using the circuit of Figure 2.

compactly built using the OP-220. The 3-amplifier design,
while more complex, has the advantages of convenient overall gain adjustment by trimming a single resistor (R3) and of
wide common-mode voltage handling capability at any
overall gain, plus improved gain linearity. Slew rate, small
signal bandwidth, and full power bandwidthare also superior
and may be further improved by choosing a high-speed
op-amp such as the OP-21 series for the output op-amp.

When utilized in a three op-amp instrumentation amplifier
configuration, the OP-227 can easily achieve a CMRR in
excess of 100 db at 10 KHz. In addition, this device has an
open-lOOp gain of 1.5 M with a 1KO load and a gain match of
1.5% between amplifiers. The OP-227 also features an I S of
±10nA, an los of 7nA, and guaranteed matching of input
currents between amplifiers. These outstanding input current
specifications are realized through the use of a unique inputcurrent cancellation circuit which typically holds Isand los to
±20 nA and 15 nA respectively over the full military temperature range.
Other sources of input-referred errors, such as PSRR and
CMRR, are reduced by factors in excess of 120dB for the
individual amplifiers. D.C. stability is assured by a long-term
drift specification of 0.2 p.Vlmonth.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The OP-227 is the first dual amplifier to offer a combination of
low offset, low noise, high speed and guaranteed amplifier
matching characteristics in one device. The OP-227 with aVos
match of 25p.V, a TCV os match of 0.3,.wo C, and a lIf corner of
only 2.7 Hz is the best choice for precision low noise deSign.
These D.C. characteristics coupled with a slew rate of 2.8 VI,.s
and a small-signal bandwidth of 8 MHz allow the deSigner to

Matching between channels is provided on all critical parameters including offset voltage, tracking of offset voltage vs.
temperature, non-inverting bias current, CMRR, and power
supply rejection ratio. This unique dual amplifier allows the
complete elimination of external components for offset nulling
and frequency compensation.
The OP-227 is pin compatible with the OP-10 and OP-207.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The OP·421 Quad Low·Power Operational Amplifier is a
single-chip quad op amp patterned after the OP-21 HighSpeed Precision Low-Power single Operational Amplifier.
The PNP input stage allows the input common mode voltage
to include V-. Combined with a low'power supply current
(150/LA/section at 5V), the OP-421 offers a unique solution
for designs requiring high function density, wide bandwidth
and low-power operation. Examples of applications ideally
suited to use of the OP·421 would include low-power active
filters, battery-operated remote line filters, signal preconditioning amplifiers, and a variety of multiple gain block arrays.
In addition, the ever present problem of crossover distortion
in low-power devices is eliminated by a unique double buffered output section.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The PM108A Series of precision monolithic operational amp·
lifiers features extremely low input offset and bias currents.
Although directly interchangeable with industry-standard
types, Precision Monolithics' advanced processing technique provides a significant improvement in input noise
voltage. Low supply current drain over a wide power supply

range makes the PM108A attractive in battery operated and
other low power applications: Low offset current and low
bias current provide excellent performance with piezoelectric and capacitive transducers and in high impedance
circuits such as long period integrators and sample-andholds. For improved performance see OP-08, OP-12, OP-20
and OP-21.
The PM2108A series contains two superbeta, PM108A op
amps in a Single 16-pin DIP. Models are provided for
-55° /+125° C, -25° C/+85 ° C and 0° C/+70° C operation in low
power applications. Compared to the single PM108A types,
these models offer higher packaging density, closer thermal
tracking between the two amplifiers, and reduced insertion
cost. For improved performance see OP-220.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
The PM108A series has extremely low input offset and bias
currents; the user is cautioned that stray printed circuit
board leakages can produce significant errors, especially at
high board temperatures. Careful attention to board layout
and cleaning procedure is required to fully realize the

PM108A's performance. It is suggested that effects of board
leakage be minimized by enCircling the input pins with a
conductive guard ring operated at a potential close to that
of the inputs. This guard ring should be driven by a low impedance source such as the amplifier's output for noninverting circuits, or be tied to ground for inverting circuits.

(See OP-15, 16,17 Data Sheet)

The PM BIFET Series provides low input current, high slew
rate, and direct interchangeability with LF155, 156, and 157
types. These operational amplifiers use a new process which
allows fabrication of matched JFET transistors and standard
bipolar transistors on the same chip. High accuracy and low
cost make the PM BIFET Series useful in new designs and as
-replacements for modular and hybrid types. Unlike many
designs, nulling the input offset voltage does not degrade
common-mode rejection ratio or input offset voltage drift.
Low input voltage noise and current noise plusa low 1/f noise
corner frequency allow these amplifiers to be used in a variety of low noise, wide bandwidth applications.

Dynamic specifications for the PM155 include a slew rate of
5V1JJs, a 2.5MHz gain bandwidth product, and settling time to
within ±O.01% of final value in 4.0JJs. The PM156 has a slew
rate of 12V/JJs and a settling time of 1.5JJs to ±O.01% of final
value.
The PM157 is a very fast decompensated device. This results
in a 50VlJJs slew rate, a 20MHz gain bandwidth product, and a
settling time of 1.5JJs. Decompensation requires a minimum
closed loop gain of five because of stability considerations.
For improved performance see the OP-15/0P-16/0P-17 data
sheet. For duals see the OP-215 data sheet.

The PM Series JFET input stages can accommodate large
input differential voltages without external clamping as long
as neither input exceeds the negative power supply. An input
voltage which is more negative than V- can result in a
destroyed unit.
If both inputs exceed the negative common mode voltage
limit, the amplifier will be forced to a high positive output. If
only one input exceeds the negative common mode voltage
limit, a phase reversal takes place forcing the output to the
corresponding high or low state, In either of the above conditions, normal operation will return when both inputs are
returned to within the specified common mode voltage range.
Exceeding the positive common-mode limit on a single input will not change the phase of the output. However, if both
inputs exceed the limit, the output of the amplifier will be
forced to a high state.

BASIC CONNECTIONS
DYNAMIC OPERATING CONSIDERATIONS

SETTLING TIME TEST CIRCUIT

As with most amplifiers, care should be taken with lead
dress, component placement and supply decoupling in
order to ensure stability. For example, resistors from the
output to an input should be placed with the body close to
the input to minimize "pick-up" and maximize the frequency
of the feedback pole by minimizing the capacitance from
the input to ground.

A feedback pole is created when the feedback around any
amplifier is resistive. The parallel resistance and
capacitance from the input of the device (usually the invertIng input) to AC ground set the frequency of the pole. In
many instances the frequency of this pole is much greater
than the expected 3dB frequency of the closed loop gain
and consequently there is negligible effect on stability
margin. However, if the feedback pole is less than approxImately six times the expected 3dB frequency a lead
capacitor should be placed from the output to the inverting
input of the op amp. The value of the added capacitor should
be such that the RC time constant of this capacitor and the
resistance it parallels is greater than or equal to the original
feedback pole time r:onstant.

NOTES:
1. Bias currents are actually junction leakage currents which double (ap·
proximately) for each 10'C increase in junction temperature TJ. Mea·
surement of bias current is specified at TJ rather than TA, since normal
warmup thermal transients will affect the bias currents. The measure·
ments for bias currents must be made within 25ms after power is first
applied to the device for test. Measurement at TA = - 55 'C Is not
necessary since expected values are too small for typical test systems.

INTRODUCTION
Analog buffers, as the name implies, are used to buffer a
high-impedance source from a low-impedance load while
accurately reproducing the input signal. Consequently, the
most important criterion for a buffer is that it introduces
minimal error between input signal and output signal. Inaccuracies such as those due to offsets, bandwidth limitations,
or non-unity gain must be considered when specifying an
analog buffer. The buffer is like an op amp operating in the
voltage follower mode. Many manufacturers specify buffers
as if they were operational amplifiers making the error
analysis of a buffer a tedious chore.
PMl's buffers are unique in specifying maximum DC output
error for a wide range of input signals, source resistances, and
load impedances. Output error includes errors Introduced by
offset voltage (Vas), input bias current (Ie), voltage gain (Av),
common-mode rejection ratio (CSMRR) and output loading
(Ra/(RL + ra)).
PMI tests, specifies and guarantees the maximum output

error. For people using op amps as buffers, a worst-case
analysis must be performed to determine what the maximum DC output error could be.
The Important specs for a buffer are output error, slew rate,
bandWidth, Input bias current, and output drive capability. A
brief scan of the PMI buffer specifications will show the
premium performance that has been achieved through
PMI's high-technology processing which includes triple
passivation, Zener Zap trimming and superior design. Common applications of buffers Include Sample/Hold circuits,
ADCs, analog commutators,and Impedance converters.
Three PMI voltage buffers (also known as unity-gain amplifiers or voltage followers) satisfy most buffer applications. The
BUF-01 stresses accuracy and is suitabie in low-speed applications. The BUF-02 provides high speed along with accuracy. The BUF-03 delivers very high speed and bandwidth
while surpassing the accuracy specifications of comparable
devices. The BUF-03 is especially well-suited to drive large
capacitive loads.

Pin compatible with the LM110, the BUF'()1 features low output Impedance (0.030 typical), high gain and excellent power
supply rejection (106dB typical) with extremely low input
voltage noise.
Fabricated with Precision Monolithics' exclusive SiliconNitride "Triple Passivation'· Process," the BUF-01 utilizes
on-chip zener-zap trimming to achieve very low offset voltage with excellent long-term stability. This eliminates the
need for offset nulling in all but the most stringent applications.

MAXIMUM OUTPUT ERROR
The Maximum Output Error specification combines errors
introduced by offset voltage, input bias current, gain, CMRR
and device output impedance. The speCification is 100%
tested for a given combination of source resistance, load
resistance and input voltages. The tlldious chore of
performing a worst case summation of component error
terms is not necessary.
The individual parameters of offset voltage, input current,
voltage gain and PSRR are also given.

INPUT

It should be noted that an error analysis may yield a figure
higher than the Maximum Output Error specification. This
is due to the potential cancellation of the effects of one
error source by another. In situations such as this, the
Maximum Output Error specification supersedes results
from any error analysis.

in an open-loop circuit employing source followers and emitter followers, the BUF-03 utilizes a quasi-quad FET input
structure to optimize both speed and D.C. input characteristics. On-chip zener-zap trimming is used to achieve low offset
voltage while careful biasing throughout results in excellent
gain linearity over the full input voltage range ..
Applications for which the BUF-03 is well suited include highspeed line drivers, isolation amplifiers for driving reactive loads
and high-speed data conversion and sample-hold circuits.

NOTES:
I. The BUF·03 package thermal resistance, in still air,ls 145·Ctw (45·Ctw
junction to case, 100 ·Ctw case to ambient). The chip temperature of 75·C
Is achieved by reducing the case to ambient thermal resistance to 45·CIW.
An inexpensive heat sink, such as the Thermalloy 2271 or 6203, is rec·
om mended for use in this application. In addition, if the device Is
operated in a forced·air environment, or is attached to a PC board which
has good thermal conductivity, the chip temperature may be further
reduced.

If no heat sinking is used, the chip temperature lin still air) may exceed
lOS ·C. The effect of this elevated temDerature Will be to Increase the in'
put bias current by a factor of eight; increase the Vos specification by
TCVos x 30·C, and reduce device speed by 10'10.
2. Guaranteed by design.
3. Nonlinearity is computed using linear regression techniques with data
from five points (e.g., -10V, -5V, OV, +5V, and +IOV for ±IOV fullscale linearity).

NOTES:
1. In order to operate the device at an ambient temperature of + 1250 C, more
extensive heat sinking must be used to ensure that the chip temperature
never exceeds the absolute maximum of + 1750 C. The chip temperature of

+ 1650 C is achieved by reducing the case to ambient thermal resistance to
ao'CIW (e.g., Thermalioy 2227).

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

HIGH SPEED 6-BIT AID BUFFER

OPERATING THE BUF·03 AT REDUCED
POWER SUPPLIES

+15V

--6V

24 N.C.

In most video applications the signal levels are slgnifl·
cantly lower than the 20V peak·to·peak capability of the
BUF·03. This suggests operating the BUF·03 at reduced
power supplies; for example, at ± BV supplies ± 2V
signals can be handled. The obvious advantage of reduced
supplies is the accompanying decrease in power dlssipa·
tion: from a typical 540 mW (= 30V x 18 mAl to 195 mW
(=12V x 1B.2 mAl at ± BV. At lower supply voltages heat
sinking is no longer necessary. However, as shown on the
slew rate vs supply voltage curve, slew rate does degrade
at lower supplies. This occurs because of higher Internal
node capacitances at lower voltages and because of the
slightly decreased operating current.

INTRODUCTION
A comparator provides a logic output indicating the
amplitude relationship between two analog signal inputs.
When selecting a comparator, certain device parameters
must be considered for proper design and application.
These parameters are:
Vos (Input Offset Voltage)
Response Time
Slew Rate and Response Time
PSRR (Power Supply Rejection)
18 (Input Bias Current)
CMVR (Common-Mode Voltage Range)
Output Configuration
Voltage Gain

voltage variation will be required at the input to effect a
change in the output state. This minimum sensitivity will be
determined from the voltage gain of the comparator. The
relationship is as follows:
AV1N(MIN)

=

!No
Tv

The quantity AVo which is the difference between the high
and low state of the output is generally chosen to be 2.5V to
insure the matching of the comparator with the TTL load.
Precision Monolithic's comparator product line has expanded to five devices.

The Input offset voltage (Vos) for a comparator should be as
small as possible because In a high gain circuit it is the
dominating factor that determines the exact threshold level.
For this reason, comparators should be nulled or a Precision Comparator used so that the input differential voltage
is as close to zero as practical when the output is at the
logic switching threshold.
The voltage gain (Av) determines the sensitivity and
threshold accuracy of a comparator. For the Ideal comparator, the gain could be considered infinite; and an extremely small voltage applied between the two inputs will
cause a change in the output. In practice, some minimum

The CMP01 is a fast precision comparator with low offset
voltage. The CMP02 offers the CMP01's offset voltage performance along with lower input bias currents.
The quad CMP04 offers both low power and low offset
voltages. Existing "139" type applications can be upgraded
by the pin compatible CMP04. The PM139/239/339 devices
provide equal performance to "13912391339" type comparators.
The CMP05 brings together superior input specifications
with very fast response times. This combination makes the
CMP05 the Ideal choice In high-accuracy 10 and 12-bit data
systems.

The range of common mode voltage on the input terminals
for which operation within specifications is assured.

The current into the output terminal with a given output
voltage and input drive equal to or greater than a specified
value.
OUTPUT SINK CURRENT (lsINKl

DIFFERENTIAL INPUT RESISTANCE (R 1N)
The resistance looking into either input terminal with the
other grounded.

The maximum negative current that can be delivered by the
comparator.
OVERDRIVE

DIFFERENTIAL INPUT VOLTAGE
The range of voltage between the input terminals for which
operation within specifications Is assured.
INPUT BIAS CURRENT (Is)

The input step voltage of specified size drives the comparator from some initial input voltage to an input level just
barely in excess of that required to bring the output from its
high or low state to the logic threshold voltage. This excess
is defined as the voltage overdrive.

The average of the two input currents, with the inputs tied
together.

POSITIVE OUTPUT VOLTAGE (VOH)

INPUT OFFSET CURRENT (loS>

The high output voltage level with a given load and input
drive equal to or greater than a specified value.

The difference in the currents into the two input terminals
when the output is within a specified voltage range.

POWER SUPPLY REJECTION RATIO (PSRR)

INPUT OFFSET VOLTAGE (VoS>

The ratio of the maximum change in input offset voltage to
the specified change in power supply voltage.

The voltage between the input terminals when the output is
within a speCified voltage range.
INPUT SLEW RATE
The maximum rate of change in differential andlor common·
mode input voltage which the input stage can follow. The
comparator's total response time for any input voltage step
with arbitrary overdrive is equal to the sum of the response
time for the small signal (100mV) step with the same overdrive, plus the slewing time (= initial differential input
voltage divided by input slew rate).

RESPONSE TIME (t,)
The interval between the application of an input step function and the time when the output crosses the logic
threshold voltage. Logic threshold is defined as the voltage
at the output of the comparator at which the loading logic
circuitry changes its digital state, or, as 1.4V when the
loading logic circuitry is not used.
SATURATION VOLTAGE (VSAT)
The low output voltage level with a given sink current and
drive less than or equal to a specified value.

INPUT TO OUTPUT HIGH PROPAGATION DELAY (tpd+)
The time measured between the Input signal's Vos crossing
and the output voltage's 50% low-to-high transition point.
Specified for given input voltage step size and overdrive.

STROBE CURRENT (ISTB)
The current out of the strobe terminal when it is active.
STROBED OUTPUT VOLTAGE (VO(STB~

INPUT TO OUTPUT LOW PROPAGATION DELAY (tpd-)
The time measured between the input signal's Vos crossing
and the output voltage's 50% high-to-Iow transition point.
Specified for a given input voltage step size and overdrive.
LATCH DISABLE PROPAGATION DELAY (tLPD)
The time measured between the 50% transition pOints of
the latch enable signal's high-to-Iow transition and the output signal's low-to-high or high-to-Iow transition point.

The DC output voltage - independent of input conditions
- with the strobe function active.
SUPPLY CURRENTS
The currents required from the positive or negative supplies
to operate the comparator with no output load. The currents
will vary with input voltage, but are maximum when the output is low, and, therefore, are specified with the input drive
less than or equal to a given value.

LATCH SET-UP TIME (ts>

VOLTAGE GAIN (Av)

The minimum time required before the low-to-high latch
enable signal transition that an input signal change can oc-

The ratio of the change in output voltage (over a specified
range) to the change in input voltage producing it.

Diode process. It features fast response time to both large
and small input signals. while maintaining excellent input
characteristics. The CMP-01 is capable of operating over a
wide range of supply voltages including single ended 5 volt
supply. The large output current sinking and high output
voltage capability assure good application flexibility, while
the combination of fast response, high accuracy, and freedom from oscillation assure performance in precision level
detectors and 12 and 13-bit AID converters. The CMP-01 is
pin-compatible to earlier 111, 106, and 710 types. For applications requiring lower input offset and bias currents, refer
to the CMP-02 data sheet.

CMP·01 FAST PRECISION COMPARATOR

APPLiCATION NOTES
The CMP-01 provides fast response times even with small
input overdrives; to achieve this performance requires very
high gain at high frequencies. The CMP-Q1 is completely free
of oscillations; however. small values of stray capacitance
from output to Input when combined with high-source resistances can cause an unstable .condition. DC characteristics
are not affected. but when the Input is within a few microvolts
of the transition level. certain conditions can create an oscillation region. The width ofthls oscillatory region and the size
of source resistance where oscillations begin Is a strong
function ofthe stray coupling present. The following suggestions are offered as a guide towards minimizing the conditions for oscillation: matched source resistors. minimized
stray capacitances (e.g .• a ground plane between output and
input). capacitive output loading (Cu. or a capacitor from
the compensation terminal to AC ground (DIP only). The
capacitive loading techniques will eliminate the oscillations.
but result in slower response time. Positive resistive feedback creating a hysteresis condition can be very effective see level detector below. Matched bypass capacitors across
the input resistors also can eliminate the Instability. .

and if C 2: 20pF maximum step size
S
minimum overdrive
the response time will approximate the response time for low
values of R& It should be noted that the offset nulling terminals do not require bypassing for stability. As with all wldeband circuits. it Is recommended that the supplies be
bypassed near the socket of the device.

process. It features superior input characteristics with extremely low offset voltage, offset current, bias current and
temperature drift. High common mode and power supply
rejection plus good response time contribute to excellent
performance in the most demanding applications. The balanced offset nulling, large output drive, and wired-OR capability combined with internal pull-up maximize application
convenience. The CMP-02 is capable of operating over a
wide range of supply voltages, including single plus 5 volt
supply operation, and is pin-compatible to earlier 111, 106,
and 710 types. For applications requiring faster response
time, please refer to the CMP-01 Fast Precision Comparator

CMP-02 LOW INPUT CURRENT PRECISION COMPARATOR

APPLICATION NOTES
The CMP-02 provides fast response times even with small
input overdrives; to achieve this performance requires very
high gain at high frequencies. The CMP-02 is completely free
of oscillations; however, small values of stray capacitance
from output to input when combined with high-source resistances can cause an unstable condition. DC characteristics are not affected, but when the input is within a few
microvolts of the transition level, certain conditions can
create an oscillation region. The width of this oscillatory
region and the size of source resistance where oscillations
begin is a strong function of the stray coupling present. The
following suggestions are offered as a guide towards minimizing the conditions for oscillation: matched source resistors, minimized stray capacitances (e.g., a ground plane
between output and input), capacitive output loading (Cd,
or a capacitor from the compensation terminal to AC ground
(DIP only). The capacitive loading techniques will eliminate
the oscillations, but result in slower response time. Positive

resistive feedback creating a hysteresis condition can be
very effective - see level detector below. Matched bypass
capacitors across the input resistors also can eliminate the
instability,
and if C

2:

s

20pF ( m~~imum step s~ze )
minimum overdnve

the response time will approximate the response time for low
values of Rs. It should be noted that the offset nulling terminals do not require bypassing for stability. As with all wideband circuits, it is recommended that the supplies be
bypassed near the socket of the device.

• Directly Replaces lM139/2391339 Comparators

Four precision Independent comparators comprise the
CMP.()4. Performance highlights include a very low offset
voltage, low output saturation voltage and high gain in a
single supply design. The Input voltage range includes
ground for Single supply operation and V - for split supplies. A low power supply. current of 2m A, which is independent of supply voltage, makes this the preferred comparator for precision applications requiring minimal power
consumption. Maximum logic interface flexibility is offered
by the open-collector TTL output.

FEATURES

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

•

The CMP05's very high speed and precision input specifications make it the ideal comparator in systems needing 12-bit
accuracy along with high speed. By using "Zener Zap" trimming input offset voltage is less than 1/10 LSB 112-bit, 10-volt
system). An exceptionally fast response time of 50 nsec is
possible with only 1/2 LSB overdrive 112-bit, 1O-volt system '.

INTRODUCTION

BROADBAND NOISE VOLTAGE (enRMS>

Matched transistors such as the MAT-01 have applications in
a variety of systems from temperature sensors to analog
multipliers. The inherent close. thermal proximity resulting
from single-chip construction minimizes the errors introduced by temperature excursions.

The root-mean-square noise voltage referred to the input in
a specified bandwidth at a speCified collector voltage and
current.

Other useful characteristics of matched transistors include
log conformity for use in analog multiplier applications,
emitter-base voltage matching for amplifier front-end circuits, and a large matched hFE for current mirrors.

CURRENT GAIN MATCH ~hFe)
The difference In hFE between the transistors at a specified
voltage and current, expressed as a percentage of the I.ower
of the two hFE's.
I -

The MAHl1 consists of four hlgh-gain transistors connected In cross-coupled pairs for excellent thermal tracking.
The experience PMI has gained in the manufacture of PrecIsion op amps has been applied to the MAT-01. The result is a
matched tranSistor pair that exhibits low noise, low
leakage, and low drift.

ULTRA-MATCHED MONOLITHIC
DUAL TRANSISTOR

EXCELLENT LOG CONFORMANCE
FEATURES

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

•

The MAT-01 series are monolithic ultra-tightly matched dual
NPN transistors, fabricated using an exclusive Silicon Nitride
"Triple-Passivation" process which provides extreme stability of critical parameters versus both temperature and time.
Outstanding matching characteristics include offset voltage
of 40pV, temperature drift of Vos of 0.15pV/oC and hFE
matching of 0.7%. Very high hFEis provided over a six decade
range of collector current, including an exceptional hFE of
590 at Ic = 10nAI Excellent logarithmic conformance over a
seven decade collector current span suggests application in
log/antilog and multiplier/divider circuitry. The very low
values of noise voltage and current make the MAT-01 ideal
for usage in critical low-level input stages while the 6-pin
TO-99 package allows direct replacement of most previous
dual transistors for immediate performance improvements.
The very high h FE at low collector currents also makes the
MAT-01 attractive in all high impedance and micropower
circuit designs.

APPLICATION NOTES
Application of reverse bias voltages to the emitter-base junctions in excess of ratings (5V) may result in degradation of
hFE and hFE matching characteristics; circuit designs should
be checked to insure that such reverse bias voltages cannot
be applied during transient conditions, such as at circuit
turn-on and turn-off.

The designer is cautioned that stray thermoelectric voltages
generated by dissimilar metals at the contacts to the input
terminals can prevent realization of the drift performance
indicated. Best operation will be obtained when both input
terminals are maintained at the same temperature, preferably close to the temperature of the device's package.

INTRODUCTION
Voltage references must provide a constant output voltage
irrespective of changes In Input voltage, output current or
temperature. References find applications In many design
situations: D to A's, power supplies, cold junction ther·
mistor compensation circuits, A to D's, panel meters,
calibration standards, precision current sources, and con·
trol set·point circuits.
Line regulation, load regulation (output impedance) and
temperature coefficient specifications Indicate how close a
reference resembles an Ideal voltage source. Line regula·
tion speCifies reference output voltage vs. input voltage
changes. Output voltage changes due to load current varia·
tions are reflected by load regulation specifications.
Temperature coefficient specifications Indicate output
voltage variation over temperature.

control of processing has enabled PMI to specify limits on
output change with time.

Present·day references are based on zener diodes or bandgap generated voltages. Zeners characteristically exhibit
high power dissipation and poor noise specifications. Bandgap voltage reference designs sum voltages with negative
and positive temperature coefficients to yield stable output
voltages over temperature. A transistor base emitter junction voltage (V BE ) exhibits a negatlYe temperature coefficient. Two transistors operating with unequal current densi·
ties will have different VBES and the difference, .:1VBE, exhibits a positive temperature coefficient. When .:1VBE Is
amplified and added to VBE, a voltage level of near zero
temperature coefficient results if the sum equals 1.23V. (See
AN-18 for bandgap reference theory.) The 1.23V level then Is
amplified to provide stable output voltages of +S.OO and
+10.00V.

The absolute difference between the maximum output
voltage and the minimum output voltage over the specified
temperature range expressed as a percentage of the typical
output voltage.
.:1VOT= VMAX - VMIN X 100
Vo (Typical)

PMI's exclusive "Zener Zapping" technique allows for trimming of the .:1VBE amplification factor to insure low output
voltage temperature coefficients. Additional zapping trims
the output's absolute value within specified limits.
The REF-01 and REF-02 are stable +10.00V and +S.OOV
monolithic bandgap Yoltage references. Output voltages are
adjustable for precision applications with small effect on
output voltage temperature coefficients. The REF-02 provides an additional output voltage that has a linear
temperature dependence. (See AN-18).
The REF-QS and REF-10 are premium versions of the REF-01
and REF-02 that have guaranteed long-term stability. Extensive testing over a long period of time, combined with tight

•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

The REF·Ol Precision Voltage Reference provides a stable
+ 10V output which can be adjusted over a ±3% range with
minimal effect on temperature stability. Single supply
operation over an input voltage range of l2V to 40V,Iow current drain of lmA, and excellent temperature stability are
achieved with an improved bandgap design. Low cost, low
nOise and low power make the REF·Ol an excellent choice
whenever a stable voltage reference is required. Applications include DIA and AID converters, portable instrumen·
tation, and digital voltmeters. Full miltary temperature
range devices with screening to MIL-STD-883 are available.
For guaranteed long term drift see REF-l0 data sheet.

REF-01 +10V PRECISION VOLTAGE REFERENCE

PRECISION CURRENT SOURCE

REFERENCE STACK WITH EXCELLENT LINE REGULATION

A current source with 25V output compliance and excellent
output impedance can be obtained using this circuit. REF-01
®keeps the line voltage and power dissipation constant in
device CD; the only important error consideration at room
temperature is the negative supply rejection of the op amp.
The typical 3,N IV PSRR of the OP-02E will create an 8ppm
change (3,N IV x 25V J1OV) in output current over a 25V range;
for example, a 10mA current source can be built (R = 1kO) with
300MO output impedance.
R 25V
o - 8x10 6x10mA

Three REF-01's can be stacked to yield 10.000, 20.000 and
3O.OOOV outputs. An additional advantage is near·perfect line
regulation of the 10.000 and 20.000 output voltages. A 32V to
60V input change produces an output change which is less
than the noise voltage of the devices. A load bypass resistor
(R B) provides a path for the supply current (ISY) of the 20.OOOV
regulator.
In general, any number of REF·01's can be stacked this way.
For example, ten devices will yield outputs of 10, 20, 30 ...
1OOV. The line voltage can range from 105V to 130V. However,
care must be taken to ensure that the total load currents do
not exceed the maximum usable current (typically 21mA).

ORDERING INFORMATIONt

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The REF-02 Precision Voltage Reference provides a stable
+5V output which can be adjusted over a ±6% range with
minimal effect on temperature stability. Single supply
operation over an Input voltage range of 7V to 4OV, low current
drain of 1mA, and.excellent temperature stability are achieved
with an improved bandgap deSign. Low cost, low noise and
low power make the REF-02 an excellent choice whenever a
stable voltage reference Is required. Applications include
D/A and AID converters, portable instrumentation, and
digital voltmeters. The versatility of the REF·02 Is enhanced
by Its use as a monolithic temperature transducer. (See
AN·18 "Thermometer Applications of the REF-02.") For
+ 10V Precision Voltage References see the REF-01 and REF10 data sheets. Forguaranteed long term drift see the REF·05
data sheet.

OUTPUT ADJUSTMENT

The REF.Q2 trim terminal can be used to adjust the output
voltage over a 5V ±300mV range. This feature allows the system designer to trim system errors by setting the reference
to a voltage other than 5V. Of course, the output can also be
set to exactly 5.000V or to 5.12V for binary applications.

Adjustment of the output does not significantly affect the
temperature performance of the device. Typically the
temperature coefficient change Is O.7ppm/oC for 100mV of
output adjustment.

In general any number of REF·01's and REF·02's can be
stacked this way. For example, ten devices will yield ten out·
puts in 5 or 10V steps. The line voltage can range from 100
to 130V. However, care must be taken to ensure that the
total load currents do not exceed the maximum usable cur·
rent (typically 21mA)_

+5V PRECISION VOLTAGE REFERENCE
WITH GUARANTEED LONG-TERM STABILITY

FEATURES

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

•
•

The REF-05 Precision Voltage Reference provides a stable
+5V output which can be adjusted over a ±6% range with
minimal effect on temperature stability. Single supply operation over an input voltage range of 7V to 40V, low current
drain of 1 mA, and excellent temperature stability are achieved
with an improved bandgap deSign. Low cost, low noise, and
low power make the REF-05 an excellent choice whenever a
stable voltage reference is required. Applications include
D/A and AID converters, portable instrumentation, and digital voltmeters. The versatility of the REF-05 is enhanced by
its use as a monolithic temperature transduce(. (See AN-18
"Thermometer Applications of the REF-02.") For + 10V Precision Voltage References see the REF-10 data sheet.

OUTPUT ADJUSTMENT

The REF-05 trim terminal can be used to adjust the output
voltage over a 5V ±300mV range. This feature allows the
system designer to trim system errors by setting the reference to a voltage other than 5V. Of course, the output can
also be set to exactly 5.000Vorto 5.12V for binary applications.

Adjustment of the output does not significantly affect the
temperature performance of the device. Typically the
temperature coefficient change is O.7ppm/oC for 100mV of
output adjustment.

REF-05 +5V PRECISION VOLTAGE REFERENCE/TEMPERATURE TRANSDUCER

PRECISION CURRENT SOURCE
A current source with 35V output compliance and excellent
output impedance can be obtained using this circuit. REF-05
2 keeps the line voltage and power dissipation constant in
device 1 ; the only important error consideration at room
temperature is the negative supply rejection of the op amp.
The typical 3/lV/V PSRR of the OP-02E will create a 20ppm
change (3/lV/v x 35V/5V) in output current over a 35v range.
For example, a 5mA current source can be built (R = 1kO)
with 350MO output impedance.

OUTPUT ADJUSTMENT

Adjustment of the output does not significantly affect the
temperature performance of the device. Typically the
temperature coefficient change is 0.7ppm/'C for IOOmV of
output adjustment.

The REF-IO trim terminal can be used to adjust the output
voltage over a 10V ±300mV range. This feature allows the
system designer to trim system errors by setting the reference to a voltage other than lOY. Of course, the output can
also be set to exactly 10.000V or to 10.240V for binary
applications.

PRECISION CURRENT SOURCE

REFERENCE STACK WITH EXCELLENT LINE REGULATION

A currenl source with 25V output compliance and excellent
output Impedance can be obtained using this circuit. AEF-10
®keeps the line voltage and power dissipation constant In
device CD; the only Important error conSideration at room
temperature is the negative supply rejection of the op amp.
The typical 3p.V/V PSAA of the OP-02E will create an 8ppm
change (3p.V/V x 25V/10V) In output current over a 25V
range. For Example, a 10mA current source can be built (A =
1kO) with 300MO output Impedance.
A 25V
0 - 8x10- 6x10mA

Three AEF-10's can be stacked to yield 10.000, 20.000 and
30.000V outputs. An additional advantage Is near-perfect line
regulation of the 10.000 and 20.000 output voltages. A 32V to
60V input change produces an output change which is less
than the noise voltage of the devices. A load bypass resistor
(As) provides a path for the supply current (Isy) of the
20.000V regulator.
In general, any number of AEF-10's can be stacked this way.
For example, ten devices will yield outputs of 10, 20, 30 ...
100V. The line voltage can range from 105V to 130V. However,
care must be taken to ensure that the total load currents do
not exceed the maximum usable current (typically 21mA).

INTRODUCTION
A D/A converter accepts a digital input and produces an
analog output. The basic DAC consists ofa voltage or current reference, binary weighted precision resistors, a set of
electronic switches and a means of summing the weighted
currents.
Three Important criteria for selecting a good DAC are accuracy, speed and resolution. Other essential requirements
to be considered are temperature stability, Input coding, out·
put format, reference requirements and power consumption.

4. The bipolar transistor switches provided on PMI DACs
have faster settling times than their FET counterparts.
DACs can be categorized by the type of analog output - a
current or a voltage. "Complete" DACs have an on-board
reference source, R-2R ladder network and current-to-voltage
converting op amp on one monolithic IC. "Multiplying" DACs
have access to the reference Input pin allowing the user to
multiply an analog quantity by a digital number.

2. Reference servoed NPN current source transistors give
high compliance, temperature stable outputs.

Since Introducing the first monolithic D/A converter in 1970,
PMI has continually Improved and updated its DAC series.
PMI offers an extensive choice of DAC resolutions, coding
formats, output configurations and temperature ranges. All
of these products are characterized by high speed and
temperature stable performance. Wide dynamic range and
good zero resolution are offered by PMI's "companding"
(compressing/expanding) D/A converter, the COMDA~ , in
applications where a hlgh·resolution linear DAC Is not needed.

3. Stable low-offset op amps are also difficult to fabricate
with CMOS devices.

The selection guides following the definition pages will aid
you in quickly locating the appropriate DAC.

PMI DACs use bipolar transistor technology. Some of the
advantages these DACs offer over CMOS-FET types are:
1. Bipolar technology allows a stable Internal zener
reference to be fabricated monolithically. Adequate
references are not available in CMOS devices.

DISCUSSION OF ERRORS

COMPANDING DAC DEFINITIONS
CHORDS
Groups of linearly-related steps in the transfer function.
Also known as segments.
CHORD ENDPOINTS
The maximum code in each chord. Used to specify accuracy.
DYNAMIC RANGE
Ratio of the largest output (1 715) to the smallest output excluding zero (Io,o)expressed In dB. This can be measured
peak or peak-to-peak with the same result.
ENCODE CURRENT
The difference between 10E( +) and loot +) or the difference
between 10E( - ) and loot - ) at any code.
FULL SCALE SYMMETRY ERROR
The difference between 100 (-) and I (+) or the difference
between 10E (+) and 10E (-) at full-scale output.

Transfer accuracy in a D/A Converter is generally determined by measuring deviation of the actual analog output
from the ideal expected output. In general, the adjustable
analog output errors of a D/A Converter are full-scale or gain
error and offset or zero-scale error. Nonadjustable D/A Converter errors include nonlinearity, differential nonlinearity,
zero-scale symmetry, zero and full-scale temperature drift
coefficients and power-supply sensitivity. The most meaningful nonadjustable error term in a D/A Converter is
NONLINEARITY. The next most important nonadjustable
error terms are full-scale drift and differential-nonlinearity. A
D/A Converter that has a specified maximum nonlinearity of
± 1/2 LSB over temperature will also be guaranteed to be
monotonic. PMI specifies maximum nonlinearity over
tem peratu re for every Df A converter (except the DAC-03 and
DAC-1 01) to assure the designer of precision performance
for the most demanding applications,

DIGITAL·TO-ANALOG CONVERTER
A circuit for converting a digital code word into discrete
analog quantities according to a prescribed relationship.

FULL SCALE
Essentially a digitally controlled attenuator, a DAC can only
provide fractional multiples of the analog input. The maximum analog output is 2" -1 times the "scaled" (a possible
gain factor) analog input. An output that equals the
"scaled" analog input would be considered Full-Scale. Note
that a D/A converter can only achieve a full-range output
that is less than Full-Scale (by an LSB).
Offsetting the DAC output with a value equal to minus onehalf of full-scale will give an analog output range that goes
from an offset zero scale which Is renamed "negative FullScale" to a positive fUll-range output that is 1 LSB less than
"positive FUll-Scale". Sign magnitude DAC's have symmetrical output ranges that are one LSB less than FullScale. For both positive and negative outputs.

LINEAR DIGITAL·TO·ANALOG CONVERTER TERMS
AND DEFINITIONS
D/A Converters accept a digital input code and convert this
input into an equivalent analog voltage or current output.
PMI's D/A Converters utilize the current-switched ladder network design principle which provides fast settling and
reduced switching transients. D/A Converters are classified
according to the type of analog output, the input code and
multiplying capability.

II

FULL OUTPUT RANGE (FR)
The output analog signal span expressed in units of voltage
or current.
PAGE 10·3

BIT

A binary unit (0 or 1) that provides the weighting for each
power of 2 in a digital word. For an n-Bit DAC, the Mose
Significant Bit (MSB) gives an output equal to 2- 1 (FS) and
the Least Significant Bit (LSB) gives an output equal to 2- n
(FS).
DIGIT

A numeric unit in a decimal system that identifies the weight
of each power of ten in a digital word. A digit can have any
value from 0 to 9. For an n-Digit DAC, the Most Significant
Digit (MSD) gives an output equal to (0 to 9) (10- 1) and the
Least Significant Digit (LSD) gives an output equal to (0 to 9)
(lO- n ). A digit in a Binary-Coded-Decimal (BCD) DAC is
represented by four bit binary word that can take on values
from 0000 to 1001 (0 to 9).
LEAST SIGNIFICANT BIT (LSB)

The smallest incremental analog output change obtainable
and equal to the full scale output range divided by
2n where n = number of bits.
LSB = FS

the output step size for adjacent digital Input codes is 1
± 1/2 LSB or 1/2 to 3/2 LSB.
RELATIVE ACCURACY

Relative accuracy defines the deviation in % of full-scale or
LSBs, from an ideal straight line drawn between the ideal
zero output and the full range output. Thus the relative accuracy specification includes the zero scale offset error as well
as non-linearity, and gain error. Relative accuracy defines
how well "relative" proportions will be maintained over the
full analog output range.
ABSOLUTE ACCURACY

Absolute accuracy defines how closely the output of a DAC
approximates the ideal straight line drawn from the ideal
zero output to the full-scale output. Absolute accuracy is inclusive of all error terms. The relative accuracy specification
will be the absolute accuracy spec at the moment of gain error correction. Time, temperature and supply voltage
changes will degrade the absolute accuracy specification.

MULTIPLYING DAC's
The D/A function involves multiplying an analog reference
byadigital word (VO=VREF.X). Depending on design, some
DAC's can multiply only positive digital words. This is known
as single Quadrant (Quadrant 1) operation, Two Quadrant
operation, involving Quadrants I and III, is achieved by offsetting a single Quadrant DAC by a negative MSB (1/2 of fullscale) so that a bipolar digital code, in which the MSB
becomes the sign bit, can multiply a unipolar reference (positive slope), for example, Quadrants I and III. Full four Quadrant multiplication requires a DAC that can accept a reference of either polarity, and positive and negative values of
digital input.
GAIN ERROR
The difference between the actual analog output range
and the Ideal analog output range expressed as a percent
of Full-Scale or in terms of LSB value.
SETTLING TIME
The elapsed time for the analog output to reach its final
value within a specified error band after the corresponding
digital input code has been changed. Usually specified for
a Full-Scale Range change and measured from the 50%

FEED THROUGH
An AC specification on a multiplying DAC which defines the
frequency at which a 1/2 LSB (pk-pk) AC signal is seen althe
DAC output with all bits in the "OFF" state (zero output code).

POWER SUPPLY SENSITIVITY
The change In the output of the converter due to a change in
the power supply value. This may be expressed as a percent
of Full-Scale Range per one percent change in the power
supply or as a percent of Full Scale per volt of power supply
change. Normally this Is specified at DC, but is sometimes
specified over a given frequency range.

FULL SCALE TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT
OR GAIN DRIFT
This Is the change In the Full Analog Range from the 25°C
value and either temperature extreme divided by the corresponding change in temperature and is expressed in
ppm/oC.

PAGE 10-5

MISCELLANEOUS TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENTS
Although nonlinearity and differential nonlinearity should
be specified as a worst case error over temperature, some
manufacturers do specify a drift component on these terms.
As In gain drift, they are specified as the change from the
25'C values to either temperature extreme divided by the
corresponding change In temperature and expressed in
ppm of FSRI 'C.

a voltage compliance within which the converter meets the
specified error limits.

RESISTIVE OUTPUT D/A CONVERTER
The output of the converter Is a current, but has a low output
resistance (typically 1·20k Ohm) and nearly zero output
voltage compliance.

INPUT CODES

The DAC"()1 utilizes standard complementary binary coding
for unipolar mode operation (all inputs high produces zero
output voltage). One's complement coding may be imple·
mented by shorting pin 11 to pin 12 and inverting the MSB
before entering pin 1 (all other bits are not inverted). Com·
plementary offset binary coding may be implemented by
shorting pin 11 to pin 12, and injecting approximately SpA into
pin 11 (which isat ground potential) by using the "zero scale
or bipolar offset adjustment" circuit. Two's complement
code is achieved when the MSB for complementary offset
binary Is complemented.

v+

A 5000 pot from pin 14 to V - can be used to adjust the full
range output voltage to exactly 10 volts in unipolar mode or
10 to 20 volts peak·ta-peak in bipolar mode. If no pot is used,
tie pin 14 to V-.

SCALE FACTOR

DAC~1

For + 10 volts or ±S volt outputs, short pin 10 to pin 11 (ad·
justs the feedback resistor around the output amplifier). For
±10 volt output, leave pin 10 open. Intermediate output
voltages may be obtained by placing a pot between pin 10
and pin 11, but this will seriously degrade the full scale
temperature coefficient due to the mismatch between the
+ 11S0ppm/·C tempco of the diffus!3d resistors and the pot
tempco.

CAPACITIVE LOADS

When driving capacitive loads greater than 50pF in Unipolar
mode or 30pF in Bipolar mode a 100pF capacitor may be
placed from pin 11 to ground for added stability.

LOWER RESOLUTION APPLICATIONS
LSB

When less than 6 bits of resolution is required, tie off unused
bits to a voltage level greater than +2.0 volts. The +S volt
logiC supply is usually convenient.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

preCision voltage reference, current steering logic, current
sources, R-2R resistor network, logic-controlled polarity
switch, and high speed internally-compensated output op
amp. Monotonicity guaranteed over the entire temperature
range is achieved using an untrimmed diffused R-2R resistor
network. The buffered reference input is capable of tracking
over a wide range of voltages, increasing application flexibility. The wide power supply range, low power consumption,
wide logic input compatibility and sign/magnitude coding
assures utility in a wide range of applications including CRT
displays, data acquisition systems, AID converters, servo
positioning controls, and audio digitizing/reconstruction
systems.

The DAC-02 and DAC-OS are complete 10-bit plus sign DlA
converters on a Single 90 x 163 mil monolithic chip. All elements of a complete Sign/magnitude DAC are included -

The DAC-03 is similar in construction to the DAC-02/DAC-DS
except for a unipolar only output. This device is intended for
low cost, limited temperature range applications, with the
same general specifications as its premium counterparts.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
The DAC-02's, DAC-03's and DAC-05's logic input stages
require about 1,.A and are capable of operation with inputs
between -5 volts and V+ less 0.7 vol!. This wide input voltage
range allows direct CMOS interfacing in most applications,
the exception being where the CMOS logic and D/A converter
must use the same positive power supply.
In this special case, a diode should be placed in series with
the CMOS driving device's Voo lead as shown in Figure 1. The
diode limits Vo to V+ less 0.7 volt - since the output from the
CMOS device cannot exceed this value, the DAC's maximum
input voltage rule is satisfied. Summarizing: in all applications, the DAC-02, DAC-03 and DAC-05 require either no
interfacing components, or at most a single inexpensive
diode for full CMOS compatibility.

will be obtained if a low tempco resistor is used or if pot and
resistor tempcos match. Alternatively, a single pot of :S:72kll
may be used.
REFERENCE INPUT BYPASS
Lowest noisea.nd fastest settling operation will be obtained
by bypassing the Reference Input to Analog Ground with a
O.o1,.F disk capacitor.
.
GROUNDING
For optimum noise rejection, separate digital and analog
grounds have been brought ou!. Best results will be obtained
if these grounds are connected together at one pOint only,
preferably near the DAcc02, DAC-03 and DAC-05 package,
so that the large digital currents do not flow through the
analog ground path.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

LOWER RESOLUTION APPLICATIONS
For applications not requiring full10-bit resolution, unused
logic inputs should be tied to ground.

UNIPOLAR OPERATION
Operation as a 10-bit straight binary converter may be
implemented by permanently tying the Sign Bit to +5V (for
positive Full Scale output) or to ground (for negative Full
Scale output). In the DAC-03 only, Pin 18 unipolar enable is
tied to Pin 17.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The DAC-04 and DAC-06 are complete 10-Bit Two's Complement D/A Converters on a single 90 x 163 mil monolithic
chip. All elements of a complete bipolar output Two's Com-

plement DAC are included - precision voltage reference,
current steering logic, current sources, R-2R resistor network, bipolar offset circuit and high speed internally compensated output op amp. Monotonicity guaranteed over the
entire O°C to +70° C temperature range is achieved using an
untrimmed diffused R-2R resistor network. The buffered reference input is capable of tracking over a wide range of
voltages, increasing application flexibility. The user may also
easily implement One's Complement, Straight Offset Binary,
or unipolar operation. The ± 12V to ± 18V power supply range,
low power consumption, TTL and CMOS compatibility, wide
logic input compatibility, and adaptable logic coding capability assure utility in a wide range of applications.

Note that two zero states will straddle (± 1/2 LSB) the true zero. Therefore the
DAC will give symmetrical outputs for both positive and negative full scale.

Full Scale Output Range and Bipolar Offset may be adjusted
by using the circuit shown in the figure above. Best results
will be obtained when low tempco pots and resistors are
used, or if pot and resistor tempcos match.

DAC-04/DAC-06 TWO'S COMPLEMENT 10-BIT D/A CONVERTERS

IMPLEMENTING

allows direct CMOS interfacing in most applications, the
exception being where the CMOS logic and D/A converter
must use the same positive power supply.

Offset Binary coding is exactly the same as Two's Complement coding except that the most significant bit occurs in
true, rather than inverted form and the output states are
relabeled. To convert the DAC-04 and DAC-06 to Offset
Binary code operation, simply place a logic inverter in series
with the MSB input (Pin 1) and invert the MSB value shown in
steps 2, 4 and 6 of the Two's Complement adjustment procedure shown above.

In this special case, a diode should be placed in series with
the CMOS driving device's Voo lead as shown in Figure 1. The
diode limits Vo to V+ less 0.7 volt - since the output from the
CMOS device cannot exceed this value, the DAC's maximum
input voltage rule is satisfied. Summarizing: in all applications, the DAC-06 requires either no interfacing components,
or at most a single inexpensive diode for full CMOS
compatibility.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The DAC·08 series of a·bit monolithic Digital-to-Analog Converters provide very high-speed performance coupled with
low cost and outstanding applications flexibility.
Advanced circuit design achieves 85n5 settling times with
very low "glitch" and at low power consumption. Monotonic
multiplying performance is attained over a wide 40 to 1
reference current range. Matching to within 1 L5B between
reference and full scale currents eliminates the need for full
scale trimming in most applications. Direct interface to all

High-voltage compliance dual-complementary current outputs are provided, increasing versatility and enabling differential operation to effectively double the peak-to-peak
output swing. In many applications, the outputs can be
direclly converted to voltage without the need for an external op amp.
All DAC-08 series models guarantee full 8-bit monotonicity,
and nonlinearities as tight as ±0.1 % over the entire
operating temperature range are available. Device performance is essentially unchanged over the ±4.5 to ±18V
power supply range, with 33mW power consumption attainable at ±5V supplies.
The compact size and low power consumption make the
DAC-08 attractive for portable and military/aerospace applications; devices processed to MIL-5TD-883, Level Bare
available.
DAC-08 applications include 8-bit, 11'5 AID converters, servo
motor and pen drivers, waveform generators, audio encoders and attenuators, analog meter drivers, programmable power supplies, CRT display drivers, high-speed
modems and other applications where low cost, high speed
and complete input/output versatility are required.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
REFERENCE AMPLIFIER SETUP

The DAC·08 is a multiplying D/A converter in which the out·
put current is the product of a digital number and the input
reference current. The reference current may be fixed or
may vary from nearly zero to +4.0mA. The full scale output
current Is a linear function of the reference current and is
given by:
255
IFR =--X IREF where IREF = 114,
256
In positive reference applications, an external positive
reference voltage forces current through R14 into the VREF(+)
terminal (pin 14) of the reference amplifier. Alternatively, a
negative reference may be applied to VREF(-) at pin 15;
reference current flows from ground through R14 into VREF(+)
as in the positive reference case. This negative reference
connection has the advantage of a very high impedance

presented at pin 15. The voltage at pin 14 is equal to and
tracks the voltage at pin 15 due to the high gain of the inter·
nal reference amplifier. R 15 (nominally equal to R 14) is used
to cancel bias current errors; R 15 may be eliminated with only
a minor increase in error.
Bipolar references may be accomodated by offsetting VREF
or pin 15. The negative common mode range. of the ref·
erence amplifier is given by: VCM - = V - plus (lREF x 1kll) plus
2.5V. The positive common mode range Is V+ less 1.5V.
When a DC reference is used, a reference bypass capacitor
is recommended. A 5.0V TTL logic supply is not recommended
as a reference. If a regulated power supply is used as a
reference, R14 should be split into two resistors with the
junction bypassed to ground with a O.1"F capaCitor.
For most applications the tight relationship between IREF
and IFS will eliminate the need for trimming IREF' If reo
quired, full scale trimming may be accomplished by
adjusting the value of R14 , or by using a potentiometer for
R14' An improved method of full scale trimming which

PAGE 10-33

DAC-08 8-BIT HIGH·SPEED MULTIPLYING D/A CONVERTER

eliminates potentiometer T.C. effects is shown In the
recommended full scale adjustment circuit.
Using lower values of reference current reduces negative
power supply currenl and increases reference amplifier
negative common mode range. The recommended range for
operation with a DC reference current is +0.2mA to
+4.0mA.

REFERENCE AMPLIFIER COMPENSATION FOR
MULTIPLYING APPLICATIONS
AC reference applications will require the reference
ampllfer to be compensated using a capacitor from pin 16 to
V -. The value of this capacitor depends on the the im·
pedance presented to pin 14: for R14 values of 1.0, 2.5 and
5.0kO, minimum values of Cc are 15, 37, and 75pF. Larger
values of R14 require proportionately increased values of Cc
for proper phase margin.
For fastest response to a pulse, low values of R14 enabling
small Cc values should be used. If pin 14 Is driven by a high
impedance such as a transistor current source, none of the
above values will suffice and the amplifier must be heavily
compensated which will decrease overall bandwidth and
slew rate. For R14 = 1kO and Cc = 15pF, the reference
amplifier slews at 4mAl,.s enabling a transition from IREF = 0
to IREF = 2mA In 500ns.
Operation with pulse inputs to the reference amplifier may
be accomodated by an alternate compensation scheme.
This technique provides lowest full scale transition times.
An internal clamp allows quick recovery of the reference
amplifier from a cutoff (IREF = 0) condition. Full scale transition (0 to 2mA) occurs in 120ns when the equivalent impedance at pin 14 is 2000 and Cc = O. This yields a reference
slew rate of 16mA/,.s which is relatively independent of RIN
and VIN values.

LOGIC INPUTS
The DAC-OB design incorporates a unique logic input circuit
which enables direct Interface to all popular logic families
and provides maximum noise immunity. This feature is
made possible by the large input swing capability, 2pA logic
input current and completely adjustable logic threshold
voltage. For V- = -15V, the logiC Inputs may swing between -10V and +1BV. This enables direct interface with
+ 15V CMOS logiC, even when the DAC-OO is powered from a
+5V supply. Minimum input logic swing and minimum logic
threshold voltage are given by: V- plus (lREF x 1kO) plus
2.5V. The logic threshold may be adjusted over a wide range
by placing an appropriate voltage at the logic threshold control pin'(pin 1, VLcl. The appropriate graph shows the relationship between VLC and VTH over the temperature range,
with VTH nominally 1.4 above VLC. For TTL and DTL interface, simply ground pin 1.. When interfacing ECl, an
IREF = 1mA Is recommended. For interfacing other logic
families, see previous page. For general setup of the logic
control circuit, it should be noted that pin 1 will source
100pA typical; external circuitry should be designed to accomodate this current.

Fastest settling times are obtained when pin 1 sees a low
impedance. If pin 1 is connected to a 1kO divider, for example, it should be bypassed to. ground by a O.D1J.1F capacitor.

ANALOG OUTPUT CURRENTS
Both true and complemented output sink currents are provided where 10 + TO = IFS' Current appears at the "true" output when a "1" Is applied to each logic Input. As the binary
count Increases, the sink current at pin 4 increases proportionally, in the fashion of a "positive logic" D/A converter.
When a "0" Is applied to any input bit, that current is turned
off at pin 4 and turned on at pin 2. A decreaSing logic count
increases 10 as in a negative or inverted logic D/A converter.
Both outputs may be used simultaneously. If one of the outputs is not required it must still be connected to ground or
to a point capable of sourcing IFs; do not leave an unused
output pin open.
Both outputs have an extremely wide voltage compliance
enabling fast direct current·to-voltage conversion through a
resistor tied to ground or other voltage source. Positive
compliance is 36V above V- and is Independent of the
positive supply. Negative compliance is given by V - plus
(lREF x 1kO) plus 2.5V.
The dual outputs enable double the usual peak-Io-peak load
swing when driving loads in quasi-differential fashion. This
feature Is especially useful In cable driving, CRT deflection
and in other balanced applications such as driving centertapped coils and transformers.

POWER SUPPLIES
The DAC-OB operates over a wide range of power supply
voltages from a total supply of 9V to 36V. When operating at
supplies of ±5V or less, IREF s1mA is recommended. low
reference current operation decreases power consumption
and increases negative compliance, reference amplifer
negative common mode range, negative logic input range,
and negative logic threshold range; consult the various
figllres for guidance. For example, operation at -4.5V with
IREF = 2mA is not recommended because negative Olltput
compliance would be reduced to near zero. Operation from
lower supplies is possible, however at least BV total must be
aplled to insure turn-on of the internal bias network.
Symetrical supplies are not required, as the DAC-OB is quite
insensitive to variations in supply voltage. Battery operation
is feaSible as no ground cormectlonls required: however, an
artificial ground may be used to insure logic swings, etc. remain between acceptable limits.
Power consumption may be calculated as follows:
Pd=(1 +) (V +)+(I-)(V -)+(2 IREF)(V-). A useful feature of
the DAC-OB design is that supply current is constant and In·
dependent of input logic states; this is useful in cryptographic applications and further serves to reduce the size
of the power supply bypass capaCitors.

TEMPERATURE PERFORMANCE
The nonlinearity and monotonicity specifications of the
DAC-08 are guaranteed to apply over the entire rated
operating temperature range. Full scale output current drift
Is tight, typically:!: 10ppm/ DC, with zero scale output current
and drift essentially negligible compared to 1/2 LSB.
The temperature coefficient of the reference resistor R14
should match and track that of the output resistor for
minimum overall full scale drift. Settling times of the
DAC·08 decrease approximately 10% at -55 DC; at
+125 DC an increase of about 15% is typical.
The reference amplifier must be compensated by using a
capacitor from pin 16 to V-. For fixed reference operation,
a 0.011'F capacitor is recommended. For variable reference
applications, see section entitled "Reference Amplifer Com·
pensation for Multiplying Applications".

MULTIPLYING OPERATION
The DAC-08 provides excellent multiplying performance
with an extremely linear relationship between IFS and IREF
over a range of 4mA to 4~. Monotonic operation is main·
tained over a typical range of IREF from 100~ to 4.0mA

SETTLING TIME
The DAC·08 is capable of extremely fast settling times,
typically 85ns at IREF= 2.0mA. Judicious circuit design and
careful board layout must be employed to obtain full perfor·
mance potential during testing and application. The logic
switch design enables propagation delays of only 35ns for
each of the 8 bits. Settling time to within 1/2 LSB of the LSB
is therefore 35ns, with each progressively larger bit taking
successively longer. The MSB settles In 85ns, thus deter·
mining the overall settling time of 85ns. Settling to 6-bit ac·

curacy requires about 65 to 70ns. The output capacitance of
the DAC·08 including the package is approximately 15pF,
therefore the output RC time constant dominates settling
time if RL >5000.
Settling time and propagation delay are relatively insen·
sitive to logic input amplitude and rise and fall times, due to
the high gain of the logic switches. Settling time also reo
mains essentially constant for IREF values down to 1.0mA,
with gradual increases for lower IREF values. The principal
advantage of higher IREF values lies in the ability to attain a
given output level with lower load resistors, thus reducing
the output RC time constant.
Measurement of settling time requires the ability to ac·
curately resolve :!:4~, therefore a 1kO load is needed to
provide adequate drive for most-oscilloscopes. The settling
time fixture shown in schematic labelled "Settling Time
Measurement" uses a cascode design to permit driving a 1kO
load with less than 5pF of parasitic capacitance at the
measurement node. At IREF values of less than 1.0mA,
excessive RC damping of the output is difficult to prevent
while maintaining adequate sensitivity. However, the major
carry from 011.11111 to 10000000 provides an accurate indicator of se!tlmg time. This code change does not require the
normal 6.2 time constants to settle to within ±0.2% of the final
value, and thus settling times may be observed at lower
values of I REF.
DAC-08 switching transients or "glitches" are very low and
may be further reduced by small capacitive loads at the out·
put at a minor sacrifice in settling time.
Fastest operation can be obtained by using short leads,
minimizing output capacitance and load resistor values,
and by adequate bypassing at the supply, reference and VLc
terminals. Supplies do not require large electrolytic bypass
capacitors as the supply current drain is independent of in·
put logic states; 0.11'F capacitors at the supply pins provide
full transient protection.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The DAC·10 series of 1()'bit monolithic multiplying Digital·to·
Analog Converters provide hlgh·speed performance and full·
scale accuracy.
Advanced circuit design achieves 85ns settling times with
very low 'glitch' and low power consumption. Direct interface to all-popular logic families with full noise immunity is
provided by the high-swing, adjustable threshold logic
inputs.

All DAC·10 series models guarantee full1()'bit monotonicity,
and nonlinearities as tight as ± 0.05% over the entire oper·
ating temperature range are available. Device performance
is essentially unchanged over the ±18V power supply
range, with 85mW power consumption attainable at lower
supplies.
A highly stable, unique trim method is used, which selec·
tively shorts zener diodes, to provide V. lSB full scale ac·
curacy without the need for laser trimming.
Single·chip reliability coupled with low cost and outstanding
flexibility make the DAC·10 device an ideal building block
for AID converters, Data Acquisition systems, CRT display,
programmable test eqUipment, and other applications
where low power consumption, inputloutput versatility, and
long·term stability are required.

Settling time and propagation delay are relatively insensitive
to logic input amplitude and rise and fall times, due to the high
gain of the logic switches. Settling time also remains essentially
constant for IREF values down to 1.0mA, with gradual increases for lower IREF values. The principal advantage of
higher IREF values lies in the ability to attain a given output
level with lower load resistors, thus reducing the output RC
time constant.

The nonlinearity and monotonicity specifications of the
DAC-10 are guaranteed to apply over the enti re rated operati ng
temperature range. Full scale output current drift is tight,
typically ±10ppm/o C, with zero scale output current and drift
essentially negligible compared to 'h LSB.
The temperature coefficient of the reference resistor R14
should match and track that of the output resistor lor minimum

o

~

Q

I/)

Measurement of settling time requires the ability to accurately
resolve ±2/LA, therefore a 2.SKO load is needed to provide
adequate drive for most oscilloscopes. The settling time
fixture of schematic titled "Settling Time Measurement" uses
a cascode design to permit driving a 2.SkO load with less than
SpF of parasitic capacitance at the measurement node. At
I REF values of less than 1.0mA, excessive RC damping of the
output is difficult to prevent while maintaining adequate
sensitivity. However, the major carry from 0111111111 to
1000000000 provides an accurate indicator of settling time.
This code changes does not require the normal 6.2 tim,e
constants to settle to within ±0.2% of the final value, and thus
settling times may be obse~ved at lower values of IREF.

l

DAC-10 switching transients or "glitches" are very low and
may be further reduced by small capacitive loads at the output
at a minor sacrifice in settling time.

TEMPERATURE PERFORMANCE

II

Fastest operation can be obtained by using short leads,
minimizing output capacitance and load resistor values, and
by adequate bypassing at the supply, reference and VLC
terminals. Supplies do not require large electrolytic bypass
capacitors as the supply current drain is independent of input
logic states; 0.1 ",F capacitors at the supply pins provide full
transient protection.

Dual complementary current outputs with -10V to +18V
voltage compliance enable resistive termination, a voltage
output without an external op amp.
All DAC·20 series models guarantee full2·digit monotonicity,
and nonlinearities as tight as ±1/2 LSB over the entire
operating temperatUfe range are available. Nonlinearity is
unchanged over the ±4.5V to ±18V power supply range,
with 37mW power consumption attainable at ±5V supplies.
The compact size and low power consumption make the
DAC-20 attractive for portable applications.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The DAC·20 series of 2·digit BCD monolithic multiplying
digital·to·analog conv.erters provide very high·speed perform·
ance coupled with low cost and outstanding applications
flexibility.
Advanced circuit design achieves 85ns settling times with
very low "glitch" and at low power consumption. Monotonic
multiplying performance is attained over a wide 40 to 1

ORDERING INFORMATION

reference current range. Matching to within 1 LSB between
reference and full scale currents eliminates the need for full
scale trimming in most applications. Direct interface to all
popular logiC families with full noise immunity is provided
by the high swing, adjustable threshold logiC inputs.

DAC-20 applications include AID converters, audio attenuators, analog meter drivers, programmable power supplies, high-speed modems and other applications where low
cost, high speed and complete input/output versatility are
required.

BASIC OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
With complementary current outputs, the DAC·20 may be
used with either positive true or negative true (complemen'
tary) logic. Current appears at the "true" output (Io)when a
"1" is applied to a logic input. As the BCl).coded input in·
creases, the sink current at Pin 4 increases proportionately,
in the fashion of a "positive logic" D/A converter. When a
"0" is applied to a logic input, that current is turned OFF at
Pin 4 and ON at Pin 2 (i~) which is used for negative true or
"negative logic" D/A converters.

The unused output must be connected to ground or some
voltage source capable of sourcing 1.65 times IREF.A detailed
discussion of reference input operation begins on the next
page.
Both outputs have an extremely wide voltage compliance
enabling fast direct current·to·voltage conversion through a
resistor tied to ground or other voltage source. Positive
compliance is 36V above V - and is independent of the
positive supply. Negative compliance is given by V- plus
(l REFX800Il) plus 2.5V.

REFERENCE AMPLIFIER SETUP

The DAC·20 is a multiplying converter in which the output
current is the product of a digital number and the input
reference current. The reference current may be fixed or
may vary from nearly zero to +4.0mA. The full range output
current is a linear function of the reference current and is
given by:
IFR = 991100 X IREF, where IREF = 114,
In positive reference applications an external positive
reference voltage forces current through R14 into the

f-

VREF( +) terminal (Pin 14) of the reference amplifier. Alternatively, a negative reference may be applied to VREF( -) at
Pin 15; reference current flows from ground through R14 into
VREF( +) as in the positive reference case. This negative
reference connection has the advantage of a very high im·
pedance presented at Pin 15. The voltage at Pin 14 is equal
to and tracks the voltage at Pin 15 due to the high gain of
the internal reference amplifier. R 15 (nominally equal to R 14)
is used to cancel bias current errors and may be eliminated
with only a minor increase in error.

DAC·20 2·DIGIT BCD HIGH·SPEED MULTIPLYING D/A CONVERTER

When a DC reference is used, a reference bypass capacitor
is recommended. A 5.0V TTL logic supply is not recommend·
ed as a reference. If a regulated power supply is used as a
reference, R14 should be split into two resistors with the
Junction bypassed to ground with a 0.1/LF capacitor.
For most applications the tight relationship between IREF
and IFR wili eliminate the need for trimming IREF . If reo
qulred, full·scale trimming may be accomplished by ad·
Justing the value of R14.
The reference amplifier must be compensated by using a
capacitor from Pin 16 to Y -. For fixed reference operation,
a O.01/LF capacitor is recommended. For variable reference
applications, see section entitled "Multiplying Operation."

MULTIPLYING OPERATION
The DAC·20 provides excellent multiplying performance
with an extremely linear relationship between IFS and IREF
over a range of 4mA to 4jtA. Monotonic operation is main·
tained over a typical range of IREF from 100jtA to 4.0mA.

AC reference applications will require the reference
amplifier to be compensated using a capacitor from Pin 16
to V -. The value of this capaCitor depends on the im·
pedance presented to Pin 14: for R14 values of 1.0, 2.5 and
5.0kO, minimum values of Cc are 15, 37, and 75pF. Larger
values of R14 require proportionately increased values of Cc
for proper phase margin.

&."'"

ECl

Fastest settling times are obtained when Pin 1 sees a low
impedance. If Pin 1 is connected to a 1kO divider, for exam·
pie, it should be bypassed to ground by a 0.01/LF capacitor.

Bipolar references may be accommodated by offsetting
VREF or Pin 15. The negative common mode range of the
reference amplifier is given by: VCM - = V-plus (I REF X
8000) plus 2.5V. The positive common mode range is V + less
1.5V.

+1SV CMOS

TTL

IREF = 1mA is recommended. For interfacing other logic
families, see the figure above. Pin 1 will source 100jtA
typically, so the external circuitry must be designed to accommodate this current. Note that the threshold voltage
has the temperature dependence of two forward biased
diodes. The two VLC setting circuits shown above Include
temperature compensation.

CMOS, NMOS, PMOS

For fastest response to a pulse, low values of R14 enabling
small Cc values should be used. If Pin 14 Is driven by a high
impedance such as a transistor current source, none of the
above values will suffice and the amplifier must be heavily
compensated which will decrease overall bandwidth and
slew rate. For R 14 =1kO and Cc=15pF, the reference

LOGIC THRESHOLD CONTROL
The DAC-20 design Incorporates a unique logic Input circuit
which enables direct interface to all popular logic families
and provides maximum noise immunity. This feature is
made possible by the large Input swing capability, 2jtA logic
input current and completely adjustable logic threshold
voltage. For V- = -15V, the logic inputs may swing between -10V and + 18V. This enables direct interface with a
+ 15V CMOS logic, even when the DAC-20 is powered from a
+5V supply. Minimum logic threshold voltage are given by:
V- plus (I REF X 8000) plus 2.5V. The logic threshold may be
adjusted over a wide range by placing an appropriate
voltage at the logic threshold control pin (Pin 1, VLcl.
The logic input threshold Is 1.4V above VLC. For TTL and DTL
interface, simply ground Pin 1. When Interfacing ECL, an

amplifier slews at 4mA/I's enabling a transition from IREF =0
to IREF = 2mA In 500ns.
Operation with pulse inputs to the reference amplifier may
be accommodated by the alternate compensation scheme
shown above. This technique provides lowest full·scale tran·
sition times. An internal clamp allows quick recovery of the
reference amplifier from a cutoff (lREF = 0) condition. Fullscale transition (0 to 2mA) occurs in 120ns when the equivalent impedance at Pin 14 is 2000 and Cc = O. This yields a
reference slew rate of 16mAll's which is relatively independent of RIN and V1N values.

compliance would be reduced to near zero. Operation from
lower supplies is possible. However, at least BV total must
be applied to insure turn-on of the internal bias network.
Symmetrical supplies are not required, as the DAC-20 is
quite insensitive to variations in supply voltage. Battery
operation is feasible as no ground connection is required:
however, an artificial ground may be useful to insure logic
swings, etc., remain between acceptable limits.
Power consumption may be calculated as follows:
Pd = (1+) (V+) + (1-) (V-) + (2 I REF ) (V-). A useful feature of
the DAC-20 design is that supply current is constant and independent of input logic states; this reduces the size of the
power supply bypass capacitors.

PULSED REFERENCE OPERATION
TEMPERATURE PERFORMANCE

The nonlinearity and monotonicity specifications of the
DAC-20 are guaranteed to apply over the entire rated
operating temperature range. Full-scale output current drift
is tight, typically ± 10ppm/oC, with zero-scale output current
and drift essentially negligible compared to 1/2 LSB.
The temperature coefficient of the reference resistor R14
should match and track that of the output resistor for
minimum overall full-scale drift.
TYPICAL VALUES:
RIN = 5k
VIN(+) = 10V

SETTLING TIME OPTIMIZATION

POWER SUPPLY CONSIDERATIONS

The DAC-20 operates over a wide range of power supply
voltages from a total supply of 9V to 36V. When operating at
supplies of ±5V or less, IREF:s1mA is recommended. Low
reference current operation decreases power consumption
and increases negative compliance, reference amplifier
negative common mode range, negative logic input range,
and negative logic threshold range; consult the various
figures for guidance. For example, operation at -4.5V with
IREF = 2mA is not recommended because negative output

The DAC-20 is capable of extremely fast settling times,
typically 85ns at IREF = 2.0mA. Judicious circuit design and
careful board layout must be employed to obtain full performance potential during testing and application. The output
capacitance of the DAC-20 including the package is approximately 15pF, therefore the output RC time constant
dominates settling time if RL > 5000.
Fastest operation can be obtained by using short leads,
minimizing output capacitance and load resistor values,
and by adequate bypassing at the supply, reference and VLC
terminals. Supplies do not require large electrolytic bypass
capacitors as the supply current drain is independent of input logic states; 0.11'F capacitors at the supply pins provide
full transient protection.

mat. A companding (compression/expansion) transfer function is implemented by using three bits to select one of
eight binarily-related chords (or segments) and four bits to
select one of sixteen linearly-related steps within each
chord. Accuracy is assured by specifying chord end point
values,chord nonlinearity, and monotonicity over the full
operating temperature range.
The B-bit format with a sign + 72dB dynamic range is
especially useful in control systems using B-bit microprocessors, RAMs and ROMs. Low distortion multiplying
capability and conformance with the Bell System w255
logarithmic law for PCM transmission make the DAC-76
ideal for use in audio applications. Other applications include servo controls, stress and vibration analYSiS, digital
recording and speech synthesis. Additional applications are

TRANSFER CHARACTERISTICS

Note that each chord endpoint is approximately 6dB down
from the next higher chord's endpoint and that the chord
slopes are binarily-related.

ENCODE TRANSFER CHARACTERISTIC
(AID CONVERSION)

The table below relates step size in each chord to other
commonly-encountered measurements and to the equivalent, conventional, binary-coded DAC. Step size (except in
Chord 0) is about 0.3dB and is an almost constant percentage of reading. In addition, there is a 1-1/2 step change between the maximum code in each chord and the minimum
code in the next chord to smooth the chord transitions and
to conform with existing telecommunication specifications.
The following three pages contain electrical specifications,
the DC test circuit, tables of ideal chord endpoint currents
for both encode and decode modes, and parameter definitions.

COMPANDING PRINCIPLES
BACKGROUND

Companding or signal compression and signal expansion is
widely used. In FM broadcasting companding is performed
by de-emphasis and pre-emphasis. In analog systems companding is performed by log and antilog amplifiers. But in
data conversion and transmission, companding has been
limited to the telecommunications industry. They recognized
the need to efficiently represent analog signals with the
fewest possible number of digital bits. With just 8 bits, the
standard format of microprocessors, RAMs, ROMs and
registers, telecommunications companding systems achieve
very low signal-to-quantizing distortion over a 40dB range of
speech amplitudes by using the Bell System 1'"255 logarithmic
companding law.

DECODE TRANSFER CHARACTERISTIC
(D/A CONVERSION)

BELL 1'"255 LOGARITHMIC CHARACTERISTIC

The output of the DAC-76 is an approximation to the 1'"255
law which can be expressed as:
Y = 0.18 In (1 +JLl<) where:
The system transfer characteristics above result when the
DAC-76 is used for signal compression (AID conversion) and
for signal expansion (D/A conversion). As one would expect,
when the curves are superimposed their average is a
straight line because compression and expansion must be
equal and opposite.
Both transfer characteristics show outputs divided into 8
chords in both polarities with 16 equal steps in each chord.

X = Normalized input signal level of the compressor
(encoder), VINIVFs with values from -1 to +1.
Y = Output signal level of the encoder
J.t

= 255

This law is implemented by the DAC-76 with an eight chord
(or segment) piecewise linear approximation for each polarity
with sixteen linear steps in each chord. A dynamic range of
72dB in both polarities is achieved with 8-bit coding.

ENCODE DECISION LEVELS

Compressing AID conversion with the DAC-76 requires a
comparator, an exclusive-OR gate, and a successive
approximation register - the usual elements in any signplus-magnitude AID converter. However, a compressing
ADC has one signficant difference from regular AID converters.
In a conventional (linear) converter, the step size is a constant
percentage of full scale, but in a compressing AID converter,
the step size increases as the output changes from zero
scale to full scale. The standard 1/2 sfep bias used in conventional ADCs to keep quantizing error below ±1/2 step
cannot be easily furnished by the user of a compressing
ADC. For this reason, the DAC has a 1/2 step greater output
in the encode mode that it has in the decode mode. This
may be seen clearly by comparing the normalized encode
and decode output tables at any code point.

the DAC. Once the Input polarity has been determined, the
E/D Input is changed to a logic "1" allowing current to flow
into 10E( +) or 10E( -) depending upon the Sign Bit Answer.
For positive inputs, current flows Into 10E( +) through R1,

for each successive decision. For negative inputs, current

DECODE OPERATION

NORMALIZED TABLES

D/A conversion with the DAC·76 may be illustrated by using

The encode and decode tables may be used to calculate
ideal output current at any code point. For example, in
decode mode at 13,7 (011 0111) find 343. 343/8031 times IFS of
2007.75!,A equals 85.75~. Alternatively, use the condensed
current tables and add up the number of steps.

an operational amplifier connected to the decode outputs
as a balanced load. The decode mode of operation is
selected by applying a logic "0" to the Encode/Decode input.
This enables the 100 outputs, disables the 10E outputs, and
allows 100< +) or loot -) to be selected by the Sign Bit input.
When the Sign Bit input is high, a logic "1", all of the output
current flows into 100 (+) forcing a positive voltage at the
operational amplifier's output. When the Sign Bit input is
low, a logic "0", all of the output current flows into 100 (-)
through R2 forcing a negative voltage output. Since the Sign
Bit only steers current into 100 (+) or 100 (-), the output will
always be symmetrical, limited only by the matching of R1
and R2.

BASIC REFERENCE CONSIDERATIONS
Full scale output current is ideally 2007.75~ when the
reference current is 528~ in the decode mode. In the en·
code mode it is 2039.75~ because the additional 1/2 step
adds 32~ to the output. A percentage change in IREF caused
by changes in VREF or RREF will produce the same percen·
tage change in output current.

DAC-76 COMDAC@ COMPANDING D/A CONVERTER

The large step size at full scale allOws the use of inexpensive references in many applications_ In some situations
VREF may even be the positive power supply_ For example,
with V+ =15V, RREF=15V/528~ or 28.4kll. When using a
power supply as a reference, R11 should be two resistors,
R11 A and R11 B, and the junction should be bypassed to
ground to provide decoupling.

REFERENCE AMPLIFIER OPERATION
POSITIVE REFERENCE OPERATION

In positive reference applications an external positive
reference voltage forces current through R11 into the VR( +)
terminal (Pin 11) of the reference amplifier. Alternatively, a
negative reference may be applied to VR(-) at Pin 12;
reference current flows from ground through R11 into VR( +),
as in the positive reference case. This negative reference
connection has the advantage of a very high impedance
presented at Pin 12. The voltage at Pin 11 is equal to and
tracks the voltage at Pin 12 due to the high gain of the inter·
nal reference amplifier. R12 (nominally equal to R11) is used
to cancel bias current errors and may be eliminated with only
a minor increase in error.

REFERENCE RECOMMENDATIONS
For most applications a +10.0V reference, such as the PMi
REF-01, is recommended for optimum full scale temperature coefficient performance. (This also minimizes the con·
tributions of reference amplifier Vos and TCVos.) For most

High common mode output range is possible due to the
wide output voltage compliance and allows use with
transformers or other balanced loads. The terminating impedances may be located a distance away from the DAC·76
allowing transmission of analog quantities as currents
rather than voltages and elimination of ground loop errors.
Capacitive termination is also possible, performing an
"integrate·and-hold" process which is a function of VREF ,
RREF, the digital input code, and the selection time for a
given current output. Resetting of the integrating capacitor
may be accomplished with a CMOS switch in parallel with
the capacitor. Thus, many applications traditionally requiring
op amps may be performed with a high voltage compliance,
current output DAC.

The DAC·76 has true current outputs with wide voltage com·
pliance enabling fast drive of a variety of single'ended and
balanced loads. Positive voltage compliance is +18V, and
negative voltage compliance is -5.0V with IREF = 528pA and
V- = -15V. Negative voltage compliance for other values
of IREF and V- may be calculated using the table above.
Typical connections, both single-ended and differential, are

DAC-76 COMDACIS COMPANDING D/A CONVERTER

When operating with V- between -15V and -11V, output
negative voltage compliance, Voc(-), reference input
amplifier common mode voltage range, and logic input
negative voltage range are reduced by an amount equivalent
to the difference between -15V and the V- supply in use.
Operation with V + between +5Vand + 15V affects VLC and
the reference amplifier common mode positive voltage
range in the same manner.

The DAG-76 may be interfaced with other-than-TTl logic by
placing VLC (Pin 10) at a potential which is 1.4V below the
desired logic input switching threshold. However, this
voltage source must be capable of sourcing and sinking a
changing current at Pin 10.
The negative voltage at the logic inputs must be limited to

SIGNAL TO QUANTIZING DISTORTION TEST CIRCUIT

EXTENSION TO SIGN PLUS 78dB DYNAMIC RANGE

EXTENDED RANGE OPERATION

When used as a D/A converter only, the DAC·76 range may
be extended from sign + 72dB to sign + 78dB by using the
encode output current to Insert additional levels halfway
between each step. By connecting 100 (+) to 10E(+) and
loo( -) to 10E( -), the ElD logic input functions as a fifth step
bit input. Full scale positive now becomes 111111111; full
scale negative is 0 111 11111. Each chord is divided into 32
steps instead of the former 16 steps, effectively increasing
dynamic range by 6dB.

FEATURES

DAC-78 TRANSFER FUNCTION

• Log Response Gives 12 Bit Accuracy Near Zero

The OAC-78 was originally designed for use in companding
telecommunications applications. It was noted that the
transfer function thus generated could also be used in a
large number of industrial control, attenuator or data
compression applications. The transfer function is in the
form X = k ("mY-1 ) where:

• Sign Magnitude Coding
• Multiple Outputs Allow Shared AID - D/A Conversion
• Tight Full Scale Tolerance Eliminates Calibration
• Low Full Scale Drift
• Multiplying Reference Inputs

X = analog output
k, m = scale factors
y = normalized digital input

• High Reliability
• Low Power Consumption

This was derived from a Bell system specification which has
the following function:

• Low Cost

y

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The OAC-78 monolithic O/A converter provides a linear
approximation to logarithmic response curve of the form:
K (e my - 1) where K and m are scale factors and y is the
normalized digital input. The curve is implemented by using
3 bits to select one of 8 straight line segments (chords) and
4 bits to select one of 16 binary steps within each chord.
A sign bit is provided to select output signal polarity and
an encode/decode operation. Accuracy is assured by specifying chord endpoint values, step nonlinearity and monotonicity over the full operating temperature range. Typical applications include: data compression, transducer linearization (e.g.,
photo and pin diodes), light and audio attenuators, and servo
positioning systems. For telecommunications applications
please refer to the OAC-88 data sheet.

NOTES:
1. In a companding DAC the term LSB is not used because the step size
within each chord is different. For example, in the first chord around
zero (Col step size is O.5",A, while in the last chord near full scale {C71
step size is 64",A. Settling time varies for each of the chord bits and step
bits and a maximum specification in misleading.

2.

Current specifications relate to differential currents between (+) and
{-I output leads. At the selected outputs, equal idle currents are present
simultaneously on both current output leads.

CHORD ENDPOINTS

The maximum code in each chord. Used to specify accuracy.
STEPS

Increments in each chord which divides it into 16 equal
levels.

OUTPUT LEVEL NOTATION
Each output current level may be designated by the code
Ic,s where C = chord number and S = step number. For
example. 10•0 = zero scale current; 10,1 = first step from zero;
10,15= endpoint offirst chord (Co); 17,15=full scale current. For
encode operation Ic,s = 0.5 [2 c (S + 17) -16.5]. For decode
operation Ic,s = 0.5 [S + 16.5) -16.5] based on IREF = 528/'A.

When the DAC is used in the feedback loop of a successive approximation ADC the DAC outputs are used as
decision levels to determine the edges of the quantizing
bands. When the DAC is used in the decode mode it
follows that the outputs must correspond to the center of
the quantizing bands. Thus the encode mode output must
exceed the decode mode output by one-half step. See AN
39 for further explanation.

ENCODE DECISION LEVELS

Compressing AID conversion with the DAC-78 requires a
comparator, an exclusive-or gate, and a successive
approximation register - the usual elements in any sign·
plus-magnitude AID converter. However, a compressing
ADC has one signficant difference from regular AID con·
verters.

In a conventional (linear converter), the step size is a constant percentage of full scale, but in a compressing AID
converter, the step size increases as the output changes
from zero scale to full scale.

BASIC REFERENCE CONSIDERATIONS
Full scale output current is ideally 2007.75j.1A when the
reference current is 528j.1A in the decode mode, due to a
multiplier of 3.803. In the encode mode it is 2039.75j.1A
because the additional 1/2 step adds 32j.1A to the output. A percentage change in IREF caused by changes in VREF or RREF
will produce the same percentage change in output current.
The large step size at full scale allows the use of inexpensive references in many applications. In some situations
VREF may even be the positive power supply. For example,

IREF = RREF

REFERENCE AMPLIFIER OPERATION
REFERENCE AMPLIFIER SETUP

The DAC-78 is a multiplying D/A converter in which the output current is the product of the normalized digital input and
the input reference current. The reference current may be
fixed or may vary from nearly zero to + 1.OmA. The fu II scale
output current is a linear function of the reference current
and is given for all four outputs in the figures above.
REFERENCE RECOMMENDATIONS

For most applications a +10.OV reference, such as the PMI
REF-01, is recommended for optimum full scale
temperature coefficient performance.

negative voltage range are reduced by an amount equivalent
to the difference between -15V and the V - supply in use.
Operation with V + between + 5V and + 15V affects VLC and
the reference amplifier common mode positive voltage
range in the same manner.

OUTPUT VOLTAGE COMPLIANCE
The DAC-78 has true current outputs with wide voltage compliance enabling fast drive of a variety of single ended and
balanced loads. Positive voltage compliance is +18V and
negative voltage compliance is -5.0V with IREF = 5281'A
and V = -15V. Negative voltage compliance Voe( -) for
other values of IREF and V-may be obtained from the table,
or calculated as follows:
Voe( -) min =(V-) + (2 'REF X 1.6k{l) +8.4V
Output voltage compliance can be extended in both encode
and decode modes using the connections shown below.

POWER SUPPLY CONSIDERATIONS

INTERFACING WITH CMOS LOGIC
The DAC-100/DAC-101 requires only about 1p.A of input current into each logic stage. This enables use with CMOS
inputs as long as one rule is observed; logic input voltages
should not exceed 6.5 volts or V+, whichever is smaller. To
provide an understanding of this rule, it is necessary to discuss the logic input stage design.

LOGIC INPUT STAGE DESIGN
For simplicity, only one of the ten identical input circuits is
shown below. The DAC-100/DAC-101 uses a fast currentsteering technique that switches a bit-weighted current

FULL SCALE ADJUST
A 500{l pot from Pin 14 to V-can be used to adjust the full
range output voltage to exactly 10 volts in unipolar mode or

SCALE FACTOR
For + 10 volt or ±5 volt outputs, short Pin 10 to Pin 11 (ad·
justs the feedback resistor around the output amplifier). For
±10 volt output, leave Pin 10 open. Intermediate output
voltages may be obtained by placing a pot between Pin 10
and Pin 11, but this will seriously degrade the full·scale
temperature coefficient due to the mismatch between the
+1150ppm/oC tempco of the difussed resistors and the pot
tempco.
LSB

CAPACITIVE LOADS
When driving capacitive loads greater than 50pF in unipolar
mode or 30pF in bipolar mode a 100pF capacitor may be
placed from Pin 11 to ground for added stability.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
INPUT CODES
The DAC·206 utilizes standard complementary binary
coding for unipolar mode operation (all inputs high pro·
duces zero output voltage). Complementary offset binary
coding may be implemented by shorting Pin 11 to Pin 12.

LOWER RESOLUTION APPLICATIONS
When less than 6 bits of resolution is required, tie off unused
bits to a voltage level greater than +2.0 volts. The +5 volt
logic supply is usually convenient.

REFERENCE OUTPUT
For best results, Reference Output current should not ex·

FULL SCALE ADJUSTMENT
Full Scale output voltage may be trimmed by use of a poten·
tiometer and series resistor as shown; however, best results
will be obtained if a low tempco resistor is used or if pot and
resistor tempcos match. Alternatively, a single pot of
2: 75kO may be used.
REFERENCE INPUT BYPASS
Lowest noise and fastest settling operation will be obtained
by bypassing the Reference Input to Analog Ground with a
O.01I'F disk capacitor.
GROUNDING
For optimum noise rejection, separate digital and analog
grounds have been brought out. Best results will be obtained
if these grounds are connected together at one point only,
preferably at the power supply, so that the large digital cur·
rents do not flow through the analog ground path.

INTERFACING WITH CMOS LOGIC
The DAC-20S's logic input stages require about 1/tA and are
capable of operation with inputs between -5 volts and V+-.7V.
This wide input voltage range allows direct CMOS interface
with no additional components.
USE WITH EXTERNAL REFERENCES
Positive·polarity external reference voltages referred to
Analog Ground may be applied to the Reference Input ter·
minal to improve full scale tempco, to provide tracking to
other system elements, or to slave a number of DAC·20S's to
the Reference Output of anyone of them.

VARIABLE REFERENCES

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

Operation as a two·quadrant multiplying DAC is achieved by
applying an analog input varying between 0 and + 10V to the
Reference Input terminal. The DAC output is then the scaled
product of this voltage and the digital input.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

•
•
•
•
•

The DAC-210 is a complete, monolithic 10 Bit plus sign DAC
with a ±10V Voltage output. A precision voltage reference,
a logic controlled polarity switch and output amplifier are
included. Non-linearity, monotonicity, and full-scale
temperature coefficient are guaranteed over the full
operating temperature range. Ease of application is achieved
by the total D/A system specs given for non-linearity and
zero-scale offset. System specs eliminate the complex error
budget analysis required by less "complete" DACs. Sign
Magnitude Coding minimizes the "Major-Carry" zero code
errors inherent in offset coding schemes. Reliability is
enhanced by a monolithic design, 100% burn-in, and a
hermetic DIP package. MIL-STD-883 Class B processing Is
available on -55°C to +125°C grades. Also offered are
models with a ±1 LSB Maximum Full Range Symmetry error.

CONNECTION INFORMATION

10-BIT SIGN-MAGNITUDE ADC

FULL SCALE ADJUSTMENT - Full Scale output voltage
may be trimmed by use of a potentiometer and series
resistor as shown; however, best results will be obtained if a
low tempco resistor is used or if pot and resistor tempcos
match. Alternatively, a single pot of 2: 75kO may be used.

FOR CONTINUOUS OPERATION.
2. FOR NON-CONTINUQUS OPERATION,
HOLD START LOW FOR ONE CLOCK
CYCLE. CONVERSIONS BeGIN ON THE
NEXT LOW TO HIGH TRANSITION.
3. CONVEASION IS COMPLETED IN 12
CLOCK CYCLES.

REFERENCE INPUT BYPASS - Lowest noise and fastest
settling operation will be obtained by bypassing the
Reference Input to Analog Ground with a O.01JLF disk
capacitor.
GROUNDING - For optimum noise rejection, separate
digital and analog grounds have been brought out. Best
results will be obtained if these grounds are connected
together at one point only, preferably at the power supply,
so that the large digital currents do not flow through the
analog ground path.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

TIME MULTIPLEXED AID CONVERTER

POWER SUPPLIES - The DAC·210 will operate within
specifications for power supplies ranging from ±12V to
±18V. Power supplies should be bypassed near the
package with a O.1JLF disk capaCitor.

LOWER RESOLUTION APPLICATIONS - For applications
not requiring full 10-bit resolution, unused logic inputs
should be tied to ground.
UNIPOLAR OPERATION - Operation as a 10·bit straight
binary converter may be implemented by permanently tying
the Sign Bit to +5V (for positive Full Scale output) or to
ground (for negative Full Scale output).

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

II

CAPACITIVE LOADING - The output operational amplifier
provides stable operation with capacitive loads up to 100pF.
REFERENCE OUTPUT - For best results, Reference Out·
put current should not exceed 100JLA.
INTERFACING WITH CMOS LOGIC - The DAC-210's logic
input stages require about 1JLA and are capable of operation
with inputs between -5 volts and V +. This wide input
voltage range allows direct CMOS interface with no addi·
tional components.

USE WITH EXTERNAL REFERENCES - Positive·polarity

scale tempco, to provide tracking to other system elements,
or to slave a number of DAC·210's to the Reference Output
of anyone of them.
VARIABLE REFERENCES - Operation as a two·quadrant
multiplying DAC is achieved by applying an analog input
varying between 0 and +10V to the Reference Input ter·
minal. The DAC output is then the scaled product of this
voltage and the digital input.

The 250 ns settling time with low glitch energy and low power
consumption are achieved by careful attention to the circuit
design and stringent process controls. Direct interface with
all popular logic families is achieved through the logic threshold terminal.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

REFERENCE AMPLIFIER COMPENSATION FOR
MULTIPLYING APPLICATIONS

REFERENCE AMPLIFIER SETUP
The DAC-312 is a multiplying D/A converter in which the
output current is the product of a digital number and the
input reference current. The reference current may be fixed
or may vary from nearly zero to +1.0mA. The full range output
current is a linear function of the reference current and is
given by:

AC reference applications will require the reference amplifier to be compensated using a capacitor from pin 16 to V-.
The value of this capacitor depends on the impedance presented to pin 14. For R14values of 1.0, 2.5 and 5.0kO; minimum
values of Ccare 5,10, and 25pF. Larger values of R14 require
proportionately increased values of Cc for proper phase
margin.

where IREF = 114
I n positive reference applications, an external positive reference voltage forces current through R14 into the VREF (+)
terminal (pin 14) of the reference amplifier. Alternatively, a
negative reference may be applied to V REF(-) at pin 15. Reference current flows from ground through R14 into VREF(+) as
in the positive reference case. This negative reference connection has the advantage of a very high impedance presented at pin 15. The voltage at pin 14 is equal to and tracks
the voltage at pin 15 due to the high gain of the internal
reference amplifier. R15 (nominally equal to R14) is used to
cancel bias current errors.

For fastest response to a pulse, low values of R14 enabling
small C c values should be used. I! pin 14 is driven by a high
impedance such as a transistor current source, none of the
above values will suffice and the amplifier must be heavily
compensated which will decrease overall bandwidth and
slew rate. For R14 = lkO and Cc= 5pF, the reference amplifier slews at 4mA!ms enabling a transition from IREF = 0 to
IREF = 1mA in 250ns.

Bipolar references may be accomodated by offsetting VREF
or pin 15. The negative common-mode range of the reference
amplifier is given by: VCM~V-plus (IREFX 3kO) plus 1.SV.
The positive common-mode range is V+ less 1.23V.

Operation with pulse inputs to the reference amplifier may
be accommodated by an alternate compensation scheme.
This technique provides lowest full scale transition times. An
internal clamp allows quick recovery of the reference amplifier from a cutoff (IREF= 0) condition. Full scale transition (0
to 1mAl occurs in 62.5ns when the equivalent impedance at
pin 14 is soon and Cc= O. This yields a reference slew rate of
SmA!!,s which is relatively independent of RINand V IN values.

When a DC reference is used, a reference bypass capacitor is
recommended. A 5.0V TTL logic supply is not recommended
as a reference. I! a regulated power supply is used as a
reference, R14 should be split into two resistors with the
junction bypassed to ground with a O.l!'F capacitor.

LOGIC INPUTS

For most applications the tight relationship between IREFand
I FS will eliminate the need for trimming IREF.I! required, full
scale trimming may be accomplished by adjusting the value
of R14, or by.using a potentiometer for R14. An improved
method of full scale trimming which eliminates potentiometer T.C. effects is shown in the Recommended Full Scale
Adjustment circuit.
The reference amplifier must be compensated by using a
capacitor from pin 16 to V-. For fixed reference operation, a
O.Ol!,F capacitor is recommended. For variable reference
applications, see section entitled "Reference Amplifier Compensation for Multiplying Applications."

MULTIPLYING OPERATION
The DAC-312 provides excellent multiplying performance
with an extremely linear relationship between I FS and IREF
over a range of 1mA to l!,A. Monotonic operation is maintained over a typical range of IREFfrom 100!,A to 1.0mA.

The DAC-312 design incorporates a unique logic input circuit which enables direct interface to all popular logic families and provides maximum noise immunity. This feature is
made possible by the large input swing capability, 40!,A logic
input current, and completely adjustable logic threshold voltage. For V- = -15V, the logic inputs may swing between-5
and +10V. This enables direct interlace with +15V CMOS
logic, even when the DAC-312 is powered from a +5V supply.
Minimum input logic swing and minimum logic threshold
voltage are given by: V-plus (lREFX3kO) plus 1.SV. The logic
threshold may be adjusted over a wide range by placing an
appropriate voltage at the logic threshold control pin (pin 13,
VLC). The appropriate graph shows the relationship between
VLC and VTH over the temperature range, with VTH nominally
1.4 above V LC. For TTL interface, simply ground pin 13.
When interlacing ECL, an IREF:S 1mA is recommended. For
interfacing other logic families, see block titled "Interlacing
With Various Logic Families". For general setup of the logic
control circuit, it should be noted that pin 13 will sink 1. 1mA
typical; external circuitry should be designed to accommodate this current.

DAC-31212-BIT HIGH SPEED MULTIPLYING D/A CONVERTER

tight, typically ±10ppm/oC, with zero scale output current
and drift essentially negligible compared to 1/2 LSB.

ANALOG OUTPUT CURRENTS
Both true and complemented output sink currents are provided where 10 +
= ' FR. Current appears at the "true"
output when a "1" is applied to each logic input. As the binary
count increases, the sink current at pin 18 increases proportionally, in the fashion of a "positive logic" D/A converter.
When a "0" is applied to any input bit, that current is turned
off at pin 18 and turned on at pin 19. A decreasing logic count
increases as in a negative or inverted logic DIA converter.
Both outputs may be used simultaneously. If one of the
outputs is not required it must still be connected to ground or
to a point capable of sourcing IFR; do not leave an unused
output pin open.

ro

The temperature coefficient of the reference resistor R14
should match and track that of the output resistor for minimum overall full scale drift. Settling times of the DAC-312
decrease approxi mately 10% at -5So C; at +12So C an increase
of about 1S% is typical.

fO

Both outputs have an extremely wide voltage compliance
enabling fast direct current-to-voltage conversion through a
resistor tied to ground or other voltage source. Positive
compliance is 2SV above V- and is independent of the positive supply. Negative compliance is +10V above V-.
The dual outputs enable double the usual peak-to-peak load
swing when driving loads in quasi-differential fashion. This
feature is especially useful in cable driving, CRT deflection
and in other balanced applications such as driving centertapped coi Is and transformers.

POWER SUPPLIES
The DAC-312 operates over a wide range of power supply
voltages from a total supply of 20V to 36V. When operating
with V-supplies of-10Vor less, I REF 51 mA is recommended.
Low reference current operation decreases powerconsumption and increases negative compliance, reference amplifier
negative common mode range, negative logic input range,
and negative logic threshold range; consult the various figures for guidance. For example, operation at -9V with 'REF=
1mA is not recommended because negative output compliance would be reduced to near zero. Operation from lower
supplies is possible, however at least BV total must be applied to insure turn-on of the internal bias network.
Symmetrical supplies are not required, as the DAC-312 is
quite insensitive to variations in supply voltage. Battery
operation is feasible as no ground connection is required;
however, an artificial ground may be used to insure logic
swings, etc. remain between acceptable limits.

TEMPERATURE PERFORMANCE
The nonlinearity and monotonicity specifications of the
DAC-312 are guaranteed to apply over the entire rated operating temperature range. Full scale output current drift is

SETTLING TIME
The DAC-312 is capable of extremely fast settling times,
typically 2S0ns at IREF = 1.0mA. JUdicious circuit design and
careful board layout must be employed to obtain full performance potential during testing and application. The logic
switch design enables propagation delays of only 2Sns for
each of the 12 bits. Settling time to within 112 LSB olthe LSB
is therefore 2Sns, with each progressively larger bit taking
successively longer. The MSB settles in 2S0ns, thus determining the overall settling time of 2S0ns. Settling to 10-bit
accuracy requires about 90 to 130ns. The output capacitance of the DAC-312 including the package is approximately 20pF; therefore, the output RC time constant
dominates settling time if RL> soon.
Settling time and propagation delay are relatively insensitive
to logic input amplitude and rise and fall times, due to the
high gain of the logic switches. Settling time also remains
essentially constant for IREF values down to O.SmA, with
gradual increases for lower IREFvalues. The principal advantage of higher IREF values lies in the ability to attain a given
output level with lower load resistors, thus reducing the
output RC time constant.
Measurement of settling time requires the ability to accurately resolve ±2/LA, therefore a 2.SkO load is needed to
provide adequate drive for most oscilloscopes. At IREFvalues
of less than O.SmA, excessive RC damping of the output is
difficult to prevent while maintaining adequate sensitivity.
However, the major carry from 011111111111 to 100000000000
provides an accurate indicator of settling time. This code
change does not require the normal 6.2 time constants to
settle to within ±0.1% of the final value, and thus settling
times may be observed at lower values of ' REF.
DAC-312 switching transients or "glitches" are very low and
may be further reduced by small capacitive loads at the
output at a minor sacrifice in settling time.
Fastest operation can be obtained by using short leads,
minimizing output capacitance and load resistor values,
and by adequate bypassing at the supply, reference, and VLC
terminals. Supplies do not require large electrolytic bypass
capaCitors as the supply current drain is independent of
input logic states; 0.1/LF capacitors althe supply pins provide
full transient protection.

DIFFERENTIAL VI INTEGRAL NONLINEARITY
Integral nonlinearity, for the purposes of the discussion,
refers to the "straightness" of the line drawn through the
individual response points of a data converter. Differential
nonlinearity, on the other hand, refers to the deviation of the
spacing of the adjacent pOints from a 1 LSB ideal spacing.
Both may be expressed as either a percentage of full scale
output or as fractional LSBs or both. The following figures
define the manner in which these parameters are specified.
The leftfigure shows a portion ofthe transfer curve of a DAC
with 1/2 LSB INL and the (implied) DNL spec of 1LSB.
Below this is a graphic representation of the way this would
appear on a CRT, for example, if the D/A Converter output
were to be applied to the Y input of a CRT as shown in the
application schematic titled "CRT Display Driver". On the
right is a portion of the transfer curve of a DAC specified for
2LSB INL with 1/2 LSB DNL specified and the graphic
display below it.

One of the characteristics of an R-2R DAC in standard form
is that any transition which causes a zero LSB change (i.e.
the same output for two different codes) will exhibit the same
output each.time that transition occurs. The same holds true
for transitions causing a 2LSB change. These two problem
transitions are allowable for the standard definition of
monotonicity and also allow the device to be specified very
tightly for INL. The major problem arising from this error
type is in AID converter implementations. Inputs producing
the same output are now represented by ambiguous output
codes for an identical input. Also, 2LSB gaps can cause large
errors at those input levels (assuming 1/2 LSB quantizing
levels). It can be seen from the two figures that the DNL
specified D/A converter will yield much finer grained data
than the INL specified part, thus improving the ability of the
AID to resolve changes in the analog input.

DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
EXPANDED TRANSFER CHARACTERISTIC
SEGMENT (001 010011)

The OAC-312 is divided into two major sections, an 8segment generator and a 9-Bit master/slave 0/A Converter.
In operation the device performs as follows (See Simplified
Schematic ):
The three most significant bits (MSB's) are inputs to a 3-to-8
line decoder. The selected resistor (R5 in the figure) is
connected to the master/slave 9-Bit 0/A Converter. All lower
order resistors (R1 through R4) are summed into the 10 line,
while all higher order resistors (R6 through R8) are summed
into the TO line. The R5 current supplies 512 steps of current
(0 to 0.499mA for a 1mA reference current) which are also
summed into the 10 or TO lines depending on the bits
selected. In the figure,the code selected is: 100110000000.
Therefore, 2mA (4 X 0.5mA/segment) +0.375mA (from
master/slave 0/A Converter) are summed into 10 giving an 10
of 2.375mA. 10 has a current of 1.625mA with this code. As
the three MSB's are incremented, each successively higher
code adds 0.5mA to 10 and subtracts 0.5mA from TO, with the
selected resistor feeding its current to the master/slave 0/A
Converter; thus each increment of the 3 MSB's allows the
current in the 9-Bit 0/ A Converter to be added to a pedestal
consisting of the sum of all lower order currents from the
segment generator. This configuration guarantees monotonicity.

DIGITAL INFORMATION

bles which are assembled at the slave latch into an 8-bit
byte (refer to Function Table). Modes 4 and 5 transfer a
single 4-bit nibble only.

The DAC·808 is a monolithic microprocessor compatible
device consisting of a quad digital switch, two 4·bit master
latches, one 8·bit slave latch, control circuitry, and one 8·bit
multiplying DAC; all housed in an 18'pin Dual In·line
Package.

LOADING LSB NIBBLE FIRST, MODE #2

For all 4-bit operations the MC pin must be high. A low must
be applied to Data Bit 6 (DB6) which now acts as an address
pin. Data is brought in at DBO through DB3 and clocked into
the LSB master latch on the negative transition of CEo
Nothing occurs on the positive transition of the CE's first
cycle. DB6 must now go high to enable the second master
latch which is loaded through the digital switch on the next
negative transition at CEo Both the MSB and LSB nibbles are
then loaded in the slave latch on the positive transition at
CEo Data Bit 7 (DB7) must remain low in this mode.

The DAC-808 can be thought of, in the 4·bit mode, as a quad
1 to 2·line digital demultiplexer which selects a 4·bit input
and transfers this data to one of two 4·bit master latches.
The BYTEDACTM accepts a straight binary digital byte at the
master latch which is a fast edge·trlggered device. Two 4·bit
independent latches make up the master latch and are
clocked separately depending on the state of the Mode Con·
trol (MC). The second latch, or slave latch, is 8 bits and con·
nects directly with the DAC. The Chip Enable (CE) is used to
clock data to and from both latches. When CE is high, the
DAC will output a current equal to the last digital value
entered (refer to the Equivalent Circuit).

LOADING MSB NIBBLE FIRST, MODE #3

This mode is identical to Mode 2 except DB7 remains high
and DB6 is high during the first cycle and low during the
second cycle. The MSB nibble is loaded into the master
latch through the digital switch during the first CE cycle.
The second CE cycle loads LSB nibble and transfers all 8
bits to slave latch and DAC.

8·BIT TRANSFER MODE #1

To load 8·bit parallel data, a low must be present at MC
which sets both master latches in a condition for simul·
taneous clocking. The negative transition on CE will now
transfer data to the master latch while the positive transac·
tion clocks data to the slave latch and input to the DAC (see
the Timing Diagram). The CE line can be held low for an indefinite period to prevent data transfer.

LOADING 4 BITS (DBO THROUGH DB3), MODE #4

By applying a low at MC and entering data at DBO through
DB3, 4 bits of data can be loaded. Again, the nibble is latched
into the LSB master latch on negative CE and clocked to the
lower slave inputs at CE positive. DB7 must be high and DB6
must be low. The MSB nibble will contain and hold the last
data entered into it. If four LSBs of resolution are all that will
be required, the data may be entered in the 8-bit mode with
MC low and DB4 through DB7 tied high or low.

INTERFACE TO 4·BIT BUS

The DAC-808 is able to handle 4-bit data in four ways, which
will be discussed here. Modes 2 and 3 transfer two 4-bit nib-

LOADING 4 BITS (DB4 THROUGH DB7), MODE #5
This is the same as Mode 4 except that DB7 is now low and
DB6 is now high. The data is still entered into DBO through
DB3, but the data is now loaded into the MSB nibble. The
LSB nibble will contain and hold the last data entered into it.
If 4 MSBs of resolution are all that will be required, the data
may be entered in the B·bit mode with MC low and DBO
through DB3 tied high or low.

IFR = 256 X IREF where IREF = 110
In positive reference applications, an external positive
reference voltage current flows through R1Q into the VREF( +)
terminal of the reference amplifier. Alternatively, a negative
reference may be applied to VREF (_); reference current flows
from ground through RlO into VREF(+) as in the positive
reference case. This negative reference connection has the
advantage of a very high impedance presented at pin 11.
The voltage at pin 10 is equal to and tracks the voltage at
pin 11 due to the high gain of the internal reference
amplifier. R11 (nominally equal to R1Q) is used to cancel bias
current errors; Rn may be eliminated with only a minor in·
crease in error.
For most applications the tight relationship between IREF
and IFR will eliminate the need for trimming ' REF . If required,
full·scale trimming may be accomplished by adjusting the
value of RlO or by using a potentiometer for RlO • An improved

NOTE: A O.Q1~F capacitor is suggested for fixed

For fastest response to a pulse, low values of Rl0, enabling
small Cc values, should be used. If pin 10 Is driven by a high
current source, none of the above values will suffice and the
amplifier must be heavily compensated which will decrease
overall bandwidth and slew rate. For Rl0 = 1kO and
Cc=15pF, the reference amplifier slews at 4mAlj£S, enabl·
ing a transition from IREF = 0 to IREF = 2mA in 500ns (see

tiometer TC effects is shown in the Recommended Full
Scale Adjustment Circuit.
Using lower values of reference current reduces negative
power supply current and increases reference amplifier
negative common mode range. The recommended range for
operation with a DC reference current is + 0.2mA to
+4.0mA.
The reference amplifier must be compensated by using a
capacitor from pin 12 to V -. For fixed reference operation,
a 0.011£F capacitor is recommended. For variable reference
applications, see "Reference Amplifier Compensation for
Multiplying Applications" section.

REFERENCE AMPLIFIER COMPENSATION FOR
MULTIPLYING APPLICATIONS
AC reference applications will require the reference amplifier
to be compensated using a capacitor from pin 12 to V -.
The value of this capacitor depends on the Impedance
presented to pin 10 (see Table 1).

Bipolar references may be accommodated by offsetting
VREF or pin 11, as shown in Figure 5. The negative common
mode range of the reference amplifier is given by VCM = Vplus (I REF x 1kO) plus 2.5V. The positive common mode
range is V + less 1.5V.
When a DC reference Is used, a reference bypass capacitor
is recommended. A 5.0V TIL Logic supply is not recom·
mended as a reference. If a regulated power supply is used
as a reference, Rl o should be split Into two resistors with
the junction bypassed to ground with a 0.1"F capacitor.

ANALOG OUTPUT CURRENTS
Both true and complemented output sink currents are pro·
vided, where 10 +10= IFR. Current appears at the "true" out·
put when a "1" Is applied to each logic Input. As the binary
count increases, the sink current at pin 14 Increases propor·
tionally in the faShion of a "positive logic" D/A converter.
When a "0" Is applied to any input bit, that current is turned
off at pin 14 and turned on at pin 13. A decreasing logic
count Increases TO as In a negative or inverted logic D/A con·
verter. Both outputs may be used simultaneously. If one of
the outputs Is not required It must stili be connected to
ground or to a point capable of sourcing IFs; do not leave an
unused output pin open.

DAC·808 II-BIT HIGH·SPEED "MICROPROCESSOR COMPATIBLE" MULTIPLYING D/A CONVERTER

The dual outputs enable double the usual peak·to·peak load
swing when driving loads in quasi·dlfferential fashion. This
feature is especially useful in cable driving, CRT deflection
and in other balanced applications such as driving center·
tapped colis and transformers.

Symmetrical supplies are not required, as the DAC-808 is
quite insensitive to variations in supply voltage.
Power consumption may be calculated as follows:
Pd=(1 +) (V +)+(1-) (V -)+(2IREF) (V -).

TEMPERATURE PERFORMANCE
POWER SUPPLIES
The DAC·808 operates over a wide range of power supply
voltages from a total supply of 9V to 15V. When operating at
supplies of ± 5V or less, IREF s 1rnA is recommended. Low
reference current operation decreases power consumption
and Increases negative compliance, reference amplifier
negative common mode range, negative logic input range,
and negative logic threshold range; consult the various
figures for guidance. For example, operation at - 4.5V with
IREF = 2mA is not recommended because negative output
compliance would be reduced to near zero. Operation from
lower supplies is possible. However, at least 8V must be ap·
plied to Insure turn·on of the internal bias network.

The nonlinearity and monotonicity specifications of the
DAC-808 are guaranteed to apply over the entire rated
operating temperature range. FulI·scale output current drift
is tight, typically ± 1Oppm/DC, with zero scale output current
and drift essentially negligible compared to 1/2 LSB.
Full·scale output drive performance will be best with + 5.0V
reference, as Vos and TCVos of the reference amplifier will
be very small compared to 10.0V. The temperature coeffi·
cient of the reference resistor R10 should match and track
that of the output resistor for minimum overall full·scale
drift. Settling times of the DAC-808 decrease approximately
10% at -55 DC; at +125 DC an increase of about 15% is
typical.

DAC-888 8-BIT HIGH-SPEED "MICROPROCESSOR COMPATIBLE" MULTIPLYING D/A CONVERTER

DIGITAL INFORMATION
The DAC-888 (BYTEDAC'") is a monolithic microprocessor
compatible 01 A converter .conslsting of an 8-bit level trlg~
gered latch, control circuitry and one 8-bit multiplying DIA
converter housed in an 18 pin dual in line package (DIP).
The DAC-888 accepts 8-bit binary bytes at the data inputs.
Data access is accomplished when WR and CE are low.
During the low state of CE and WR, the latches are transparent, therefore, data should be valid from lOOns prior to WR
and CE low until CE or WR high. When CE or WR goes
high, the data stored in the latches will hold the selected
output indefinitely.

IFR= 256 X IREFwhere IREF - 110

In positive reference applications, an external positive reference voltage current flows through R 10 into the V REF(+) terminal of the reference amplifier. Alternatively, a negative
reference maybe applied to V REF (-); reference current flows
from ground through R10 into VREF(+) as in the positive reference case. This negative reference connection has the
advantage of a very high impedance presented at pin 11. The
voltage at pin lOis equal to and tracks the voltage at pin 11
due to the high gain of the internal reference ampliiier. R11
(nominally equal to R 10) is used to cancel bias current errors;
R11 may be eliminated with only a minor increase in error.
For most applications the tight relationship between I REF and
IFR will eliminate the need for trimming 'REF' If required,
full-scale trimming may be accomplished by adjusting the
value of R 10 0r by using a potentiometer for R 10. An improved
method of full-scale trimming which eliminates potentio-

NOTE: A O.01/IF capacitor is suggested for fixed references.

For fastest response to a pulse, low values of R1o, enabling
small Cc values, should be used. If pin 10 is driven by a high
current source, none of the above values will suffice and the
amplifier must be heavily compensated which will decrease
overall bandwidth and slew rate. For R10 = 1k!l and Cc =
15pF, the reference amplifier slews at 4mA/l's, enabling a
transition from IREF= 0 to IREF= 2mA in 500ns (see Figure,

Adjustment Circuit.
Using lower values of reference current reduces negative
power supply current and increases reference amplifier negative common mode range. The recommended range for
operation with a DC reference current is +0.2mA to +4.0mA.
The reference amplifier must be compensated by using a
capacitor from pi n 12 to V-. For fixed reference operation a
0.011'F capacitor is recommended. For variable reference
applications, see "Reference Amplifier Compensation for
Multiplying Applications" section.

REFERENCE AMPLIFIER COMPENSATION FOR
MULTIPLYING APPLICATIONS
AC reference applications will require the reference amplifier to be compensated using a capacitor from pin 12to V-.
The value of this capacitor depends on the impedance presented to pin 10 (see Table 1).

Bipolar references may be accommodated by offsetting VREF
or pin 11 ,as shown in Figure below. The negative common mode
range of the reference amplifier is given by V CM = V- plus
(IREF X 1k!l) plus 2.5V. The positive common mode range is
V+ less 1.5V.
When a DC reference is used, a reference bypass capacitor is
recommended. A 5.0V TTL Logic supply is not recommended as a reference. If a regulated power supply is used as
a reference, R10 should be split into two resistors with the
junction bypassed to ground with a 0.11'F capacitor.

ANALOG OUTPUT CURRENTS
Both true and complemented output sink currents are provided, where 10 + iO = I FR. Current appears at the "true"
output when a "1" is applied to each logic input. As the binary
count Increases, the sink current at pin 14 increases proportionally in the fashion of a "positive logic" D/A converter.
When a "0" is applied to any input bit, that current is turned
off at pin 14 and turned on at pin 13. A decreasing logic count
increases iOas in a negative or inverted logic D/A converter.
Both outputs may be used simultaneously. If one of the
outputs is not required it must still be connected to ground or
to a point capable of sourcing I FS; do not leave an unused
output pin open.

supplies is possible. However, at least av must be applied to
insure turn-on of the internal bias network.

BASIC BIPOLAR OUTPUT OPERATION
Both outputs have an extremely wide voltage compliance,
enabling fast direct current-to-voltage conversion through a
resistor tied to ground or other voltage source. Positive
compliance is 1aV above V- and is independent of the
positive supply. Negative compliance is given by V- plus
(IREF X 1kO) plus 2.5V.

Symmetrical supplies are not required, as the CAC-aaa is
quite insensitive to variations in supply voltage.
Power consumption may be calculated as follows:
Pd

= (1

+) (V +) + (I -) (V -) + (2 IREF) (V -).

POWER SUPPLIES

TEMPERATURE PERFORMANCE

The CAC-aaa operates over a wide range of power supply
voltages from a total supply of 9V to 17V. When operating at
supplies of ±5V or less, IREF:S 1mA is recommended. Low
reference current operation decreases power consumption
and increases negative compliance, reference amplifier
negative common mode range, negative logic input range,
and negative logic threshold range; consult the various figures for guidance. For example, operation at -4.5V with IREF
= 2mA is not recommended because negative output compliance would be reduced to near zero. Operation from lower

The nonlinearity and monotonicity specifications of the
CAC-aaa are guaranteed to apply overtheentire rated operating temperature range. Full-scale output current drift is
tight, typically ±1 Oppm/o C, with zero scale output current
and drift essentially negligible compared to 1/2 LSB.
The temperature coefficient of the reference resistor RlO
should match and track that of the output resistor for minimum overall full-scale drift. Settling times of the CAC-aaa
decrease approximately 10% at -65° C; at +125° C an increase
of about 15% is typical.

8-BIT MULTIPLYING D/A CONVERTER

FEATURES

The R-2R ladder divides the reference current into eight
binarily-related components which are fed to the switches. A
remainder current equal to the least significant bit is always
shunted to ground, therefore the maximum output current is
255/256 of the reference amplifier input current. For example, a full-scale output current of 1.992mA would result from
a reference input current of 2.0mA.

The DAC-1508A11408A is useful in a wide variety of applications, including waveform synthesizers, digitally programmable gain and attenuation blocks, CRT character generation, audio digitizing and decoding, stepping motor drives,
programmable power supplies and in building tracking and
successive approximation analog-to-digital converters.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The DAC-1508A11408A are 8-bit monolithic multiplying
digital-to-analog converters consisting of a reference current2R ladder, and eight high-speed current switches. For many
applications, only a reference resistor and reference voltage
need be added. Improvements in design and processing
techniques provide faster settling times combined with lower
power consumption while retaining direct interchangeability
with MC1508/1408 devices.

For significantly improved speed and applications flexibility
the user's attention is directed to the DAC-08 8-bit highspeed multiplying D/A converter data sheet. For D/A converters which include precision voltage references on the
chip please refer to the DAC-02, DAC-04 and DAC-100 data
sheets.

preceeding page. The reference voltage source supplies the
full current 1'4. The Preceeding bipolar reference signals, as
in the multiplying mode, R15 can be tied toa negative voltage
corresponding to the minimum input level. It is possible to
eliminate R15 with only a small sacrifice in accuracy and
temperature drift.

The compensation capacitor value must be increased with
increases in R14 to maintain proper phase margin; for R14
values of 1.0, 2.5 and 5.0kO, minimum capacitor values are 15,
37, and 75pF. The capacitor may be tied to either VEE or
ground, but using VEE increases negative supply rejection.

A negative reference voltage may be used if R14 is grounded
and the reference voltage is applied to R15 as shown. A high
input impedance is the main advantage ofthis method. Compensation involves a capacitor to VEE on Pin 16, using the
values of the previous paragraph. The negative reference
voltage must be at least 4.0V above the VEE supply. Bipolar
input signals may be handled by connecting R14 to a positive
reference voltage equal to the peak positive input level at Pin
15.

If Pin 14 is driven by a high impedance such as a transistor

When a DC reference voltage is used, capacitive bypass to
ground is recommended. The 5.0V logic supply is not
recommended as a reference voltage. If a well regulated 5.0V
supply which drives logiC is to be used as the reference, R14
should be decoupled by connecting it to +5.0V through
another resistor and bypassing the junction of the two resistors with 0.11'F to ground. For reference voltages greater than
5.0V, a clamp diode is recommended between Pin 14 and
ground.

OUTPUT VOLTAGE RANGE
The voltage on Pin 4 is restricted to a range of -0.6V to +0.5V
when VEE = -5V due to the current switching methods
employed in the DAC-150SA-S.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND APPLICATION NOTES

The negative output voltage compliance of the DAC-150SA-S
is extended to -5.0V where the negative supply voltage is
more negative than -10V. Using a full-scale current of
1.992mA and load resistor of 2.5kO between Pin 4 and ground
will yield a voltage output of 256 levels between 0 and
-4.9S0V. The value of the load resistor determines the switching time due to increased voltage swing. Values of RL up to
5000 do not significantly affect performance but a 2.5kO load
increases "worst case" settling time to 1.21's (when all bits are
switched on). Refer to the subsequenttext section of Settling
Time for more details on output loading.

REFERENCE AMPLIFIER DRIVE AND COMPENSATION
The reference amplifier provides a voltage at Pin 14 for
converting the reference voltage to a current, and a turnaround circuit or current mirror for feeding the ladder. The
reference amplifier input current, 114, must always flow into
Pin 14 regardless of the setup method or reference voltage

OUTPUT CURRENT RANGE
The output current maximum rating of 4.2mA may be used
only for negative supply voltages more negative than -0.7V,
due to the increased voltage drop across the resistors in the
reference current amplifier.

ACCURACY
Absolute accuracy is the measure of each output current
level with respect to its intended value, and is dependent
upon relative accuracy and full-scale current drift. Relative
accuracy is the measure of each output current level as a
fraction of the full-scale current. The relative accuracy of the
OAC-150BA-B is essentially constant with temperature due to
the excellent temperature tracking of the monolithic resistor
ladder. The reference current may drift with temperature,
causing a change in the absolute accuracy of output current.
However, the OAC-150BA-B has a very low full-scale current
drift with temperature.

MULTIPLYING ACCURACY
The OAC-150BA-B may be used in the multiplying mode with
eight-bit accuracy when the reference current is varied over a
range of 256:1. If the reference current in the multiplying
mode ranges from 16/LA to 4.OmA. the additional error contributions are less than 1.6/LA. This is well within eight-bit accuracy when referred to full scale.
A monotonic converter is one which supplies an increase in
current for each increment in the binary word. Typically, the
OAC-150BA-B is monotonic for all values of reference current
above 0.5mA. The recommended range for operation with a
DC reference current is 0.5 to 4.OmA.

The OAC-150BA-B/OAC-140BA Series is guaranteed accurate to within ± 1/2 LSB at a full-scale output current of
1.992mA. This corresponds to a reference amplifier output
current drive to the ladder network of 2.0mA, with the loss of
one LSB (B.O/LA) which is the ladder remainder shunted to
ground. The input current to Pin 14 has a guaranteed value'of
between 1.9 and 2.1 mA, allowing some mismatch in the NPN
current source pair. Testing relative accuracy is accomplished by the circuit labelled "Relative Accuracy Test Circuit". The 12-bit converter is calibrated fora full-scale output
current of 1.992mA. This is an optional step since the OAC150BA-B accuracy is essentially the same between 1.5 and
2.5mA. Then the OAC-150BA-8 circuit's full-scale current is
trimmed to the same value with R14 so that a zero value
appears at the error amplifier output. The counter is activated
and the error band may be displayed on an oscilloscope,
detected by comparators, or stored in a peak detector.

SETTLING TIME
The "worst case" switching condition occurs when all bits are
switched "ON", which corresponds to a low-to-high transition for all bits. This time is typically 250ns for settling to
within ± 1/2 LSB, forB-bit accuracy, and 200ns to 1/2 LSB for
7 and 6-bit accuracy. The turn off is typically under 100ns.
These times apply when RL:S 500n and Co:S 25pF.

Two B-bit 01 A converters may not be used to construct a
16-bit accuracy 01 A converter. 16-bitaccuracy implies a total
error of ± 1/2 of one part in 65, 536, or ±0.000760/0 which is
much more accurate than the ±0.190/0 specification provided
by the OAC-150BA-B.

Extra care must be taken in board layout since this is usually
the cominant factor in satisfactory test results when measuring settling time. Short leads, 100/LF supply bypassing for low
frequencies, and minimum scope lead length are all
mandatory.

The slowest single switch is the least significant bit. In applications where the 01 A converter functions in a positivegoing ramp mode, the "worst case" switching condition does
not occur, and a settling time of less than 250ns may be
realized.

INTRODUCTION
Analog multiplexers and switches find applications in data
acquisition, metrology, telemetry, process control and telephony systems. Multiplexers are multiple analog switches
which share a common output. An on-chip address decoder
selects the appropriate input by means of a binary code. All
channels may be deactivated by an enable/disable control
pin.
In the past multiplexers/switches have been manufactured
with hybrid, monolithic CMOS or dielectrically isolated
CMOS technologies. The merging of ion implant techniques
with the standard bipolar process creates a fourth technological alternative - The BIFET process. High-quality ion Implanted p~channel FET's can now be compatibly processed
with bipolar devices.
The cost of hybrid devices limits their use to applications
which require the extremely low "RON" resistance made
possible by discrete FET's. MOS technologies are inherently
plagued by SCR "latch up" problems and analog signal
overvoltage destruction. The use of buried layers and expensive dielectric isolation processing can eliminate the SCR
failure mode, but the overvoltage blowout problems can be
solved only by adding large series input resistance with each
switch. This increases system errors since the equivalent
"RON" may typically be over 1000 ohms.

BIFET switches have no SCR "latch up" tendency and can
withstand analog input overvoltages while maintaining low
"RON" resistance. In addition, the special handling required
with CMOS devices is not necessary with BIFET switches.
In selecting analog multiplexers allentlon must be paid to
several key specs. Break-before-make switching insures no
two-channel .. inputs are simultaneously connected. This
prevents input sensor damage and misoperatlon. Acquiring
analog input signals within a specified time and error band
are primary concerns affected by "RON" resistance and
"Cour" capacitance specifications. A low "RON" insures
minimum signal allenuation and maximum accuracy. The
"Cour" capacitance forms on R-C time constant with "RON"
placing fundamental limits on signal acquisition time. Low
"RON" and "Cour" insures minimum elapsed time between
the channel select command and the ac'qulsltlon of data to
within a specified error band. High cross talk and off isolation specifications prevent unselected input signals from affecting the signal path.
PMI offers a wide selection of single-ended and differential
multiplexers and switches. Sixteen and eight-channel multiplexers as well as differential eight and four-channel devices
are available. Dual and Quad SPST switches in normally
closed and open configurations are also available. All devices
are pin-for-pin replacements for many industry standard
CMOS devices.

These analog multiplexers employ ion-implantedJFETs in a
switch configuration designed to assure break-before-make
action. The turn-off time Is much faster than the turn-on
time to guarantee this feature over the full operating
temperature and input voltage range. Fabricated with BIFET processing, special handling as required with CMOS
devices, Is not necessary to prevent damage to this multiplexer. Because the digital inputs only require a 2.0V logic
"1" input level, power-consuming pullup resistors are not
PAGE 11-12

MUX-08/24 8-CHANNEL/DUAL 4-CHANNEL BI-FET ANALOG MULTIPLEXERS

The positive-going slew rate was 0.3V1"s which Is equivalent
to a normal loss of 3mA. The negative-going slew rate was
O.7V1"s which is equivalent to a "reverse" lossof 7mA. Note
that when switch 1 is first turned "ON" it has a drop of -20V
across its terminals. In spite of that fact, the current is
limited to approximately twice Its normal loss.

required for TTL compatibility to insure break-make switching as is most often the case with CMOS multiplexers. The
digital inputs utilize PNP input transistors where input
current is maximum at the logic "0" level and drops to that of
a reverse-biased diode (about 10nA) as the input voltage is
raised above'" 1.4V.
The "ON" resistance, RON, of the analog switches is constant over the wide input voltage range of -15V to +11V
with VSUPPLY = ±15V. Higher input voltage is tolerable provided that some form of current limiting Is employed (such
as that of an op-amp output stage) to avoid exceeding junction temperature and power dissipation requirements. For
normal operation, however, positive Input voltages should be
restricted to 11V (or 4V less than the positive supply). This
assures that the VGS of an "OFF" switch remains greater than
its Vp, and prevents that channel from being falsely turned
"ON". When operating with negative Input voltages, the gateto-channel diode will be turned on if the voltage drop across
an "ON" switch exceeds -{).6V. While this condition will
cause an error in the output, it will not damage the switch. In
lab tests, the multiplexer output has been loaded with a
0.01"F capacitor in the circuit of Figure 1. With V 1 = -10V
and Va = +10V, the logic input was driven at a 1kHz rate.

CROSSTALK AND OFF-ISOLATION
Crosstalk and off-isolation performance is influenced by the
type of package selected. Epoxy (P) packaged devices typicallyexhlbit a 12dB improvement in off-isolation (f =500kHz)
performance when compared to ceramic (Q) packaged devices. Epoxy packaged devices typically exhibit a 15dB
improvement in crosstalk (f = 500kHz) performance when
compared to ceramic (Q) packaged devices.

SINGLE SUPPLY OPERATION OF
BIFET MULTIPLEXERS
PMI's BI FET multiplexers will operate from a single positive
supply voltage with the negative supply pin at ground potential. The analog signal range will include ground.

The MUX-28 is a monolithic 8-channel differential analog
multiplexer configured in a double pole, 8-position (pius
OFF) electronic switch array. For single 8-channel and dual
4 channel models, refer to the MUX-08/MUX-24 data sheet. A
3-bit binary input address connects a pair of independent
analog inputs from each 8-channel input section to the
corresponding pair of independent analog outputs. Disconnection of both inputs is provided by a logical "0" at the
ENABLE input, thereby offering a package select funciton.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MUX-16 is a monolithic 16-channel analog multiplexer
which connects a single output to 1 of the 16 analog inputs
depending upon the state of a 4-bit binary address. Disconnection of the output is provided by a logical "0" at the
ENABLE input, thereby providing a package selection
function.

Fabricated with Precision Monolithics' high performance BIFET technology, these devices offer low, constant "ON" resistance. Performance advantages include low leakage currents and fast settling time with low crosstalk to satisfy a wide
variety of applications. These multiplexers do not suffer from
latch-up or static discharge blow-out problems associated
with similar CMOS parts. The digital inputs are designed to
operate from both TTL and CMOS levels while always providing a definite break-before-make action without the need for
external pull-up resistors.

NOTES:
1. Conditions applied to leakage tests insure worst case leakages. Exceeding
l1V on the analog input may cause an "OFF" channel to turn "ON."
2. Rl = 10Mn, C l = 10pF.
3. Crosstalk is measured by driving channel S (SB') with channel 7 (7B') ON.
Rl = lMn, C l = 10pF, Vs = 5V RMS, I = 500kHz.
4. OFF isolation Is measured by driving channelS (SB') with ALL channels

These analog multiplexers employ ion-implanted JFETs In a
switch configuration designed to assure break-before-make
action. The turn-off ti me is much faster than the tu rn-on ti me
to guarantee this feature over the full operating temperature
and input voltage range. Fabricated with BI-FET processing
rather than CMOS, special handling is not necessary to prevent damage to this multiplexer. Because the digital inputs
only require a 2.0V logic "1" input level, power-consuming
pullup resistors are not required for TTL compatibility to
insure break-before-make switching as is most often the case
with CMOS multiplexers. The digital inputs utilize PNP input
transistors where input current is maximum at the logic "0"
level and drops to that of a reverse-biased diode (about 10nA)
as the input voltage is raised about .. 1.4V.
The "ON" resistance, RON of the analog switches is constant
over the wide input voltage range of -15V to +11V with
VSUPPLy=±15V. The overvoltage and supply-loss V-I characteristics shown above indicate typical performance when the
multiplexer is subjected to abnormal signals. For normal
operation, however, positive input voltages should be restricted to 11V (or 4V less than the positive supply). This
assures that the V GS of an OFF switch remains greater than
its Vp, and prevents that channel from being falsely turned
ON. When operating with negative input voltages, the gateto-channel diode will be turned on if the voltage drop acrross
an ON switch exceeds -0.6V. While this condition will cause
an error in the output, it will not damage the switch. In lab
tests, the multiplexer output has been loaded with a O.D1"F
capacitor in the circuit of Figure 1. With V, = -10V and V'6 =
+ 10V, the logic input was driven as a 1kHz rate. The positivegOing slew rate was 0.3V1"Sec which is equivalent to a normal
loss of 3mA. The negative-going slew rate was 0.7V1"Sec
which is equivalent to a "reverse" loss of 7mA. Note that
when switch one (1) if first turned ON it has a drop of -20V
across its terminals. In spite ofthatfact, the current is limited
to approximately twice its normal loss.

The SW-01/02 are pin compatiblt;l with the DG201/202. while
the SW-03/04 incorporate a chip disable pin which allows
switch ganging for multiple switch systems. An Ion Implanted
FET switch inherently exhibits low RON variations vs analog
input signals. The junction FET construction also eliminates
static discharge destruction prevalent in CMOS devices.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Low RON sensitivity to temperature and voltage is complemented by guaranteed high-speed operation and low-leakage
currents. Address inputs may operate directly from either
CMOS or TTL logic levels and are supply voltage independent. The SW-01 through SW-04 are protected during supply
voltage power loss and against input Signal overvoltages.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SW06 is a four channel single-pole, single throw analog
switch that employs both bipolar and ion-implanted FET

devices. The SW06 FET switches are bipolar digital logic
inputs are immune to static electricity that can catastrophically destroy devices based on CMOS technology. OEM
manufacturers using CMOS devices must often establish
costly special handling procedures in production to prevent
static electric switch destruction. Ruggedness an~ reliability
are inherent in the SW06 design and construction technology. No special handling, as required with CMOS devices, is
necessary to maintain the SW06 reliability.
Increased reliability is complemented by excellent electrical
specifications. Potential error sources are reduced by minimizing "ON" resistance and controlling leakage currents at
high temperatures. The switching FET exhibits minimal RON
variation over a 20V analog signal range and with power
supply voltage changes. Operation from a single positive
power supply voltage is possible. With V+ = 36V, V- = OV, the
analog signal range will extend from ground to +32V.
PNP logic inputs are TTL and CMOS compatible to allow the
SW06 to upgrade existing designs. The logic "0" and logic "1"
input currents are at micro-ampere levels for logic levels
between 0 and 15V.

input is a zero. The SW-201 and SW-202 are otherwise
identical.
The judicious combination of bipolar and FET devices in a
single monolithic IC results in a product with performance
characteristics and ruggedness that are superior to those of a
similar circuit fabricated using CMOS technology. No
special handling requirements are necessary to maintain the
SW-201/SW-202 reliability.
Increased reliability is complemented by excellent electrical
specifications. Potential error sources are reduced by minimizing "ON" resistance and controlling leakage currents at
high temperatures. The switching FET exhibits minimal RON
variation over a 20V analog signal range and with power
supply voltage changes. Operation from a single positive
power supply voltage is possible. With V+ = 36V, V-= OV, the
analog signal range will extend from ground to +32V.
The PNP logic inputs are TTL and CMOS compatible and
require input currents at the micro-ampre level for logic levels between OV and 15V.

PIN CONNECTIONS
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SW-201 and SW-202 each consist of four independent,
single-pole, single-throw (SPST) analog switches, which
may be independently digitally controlled. Each SW-201
switch is normally closed (NC), whereas each SW-202 is
normally open (NO) when the corresponding digital control

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
utilize PNP input transistors where input current Is max·
Imum at the logiC "0" level and drops to that of a reverse·
biased diode as the Input voltage Is raised above .. 1.4V.

This analog switch employs lon-Implanted JFETs In a
switch configuration designed to assure break-before-make
action. The turn-off time Is much faster than the turn·on
time to guarantee this feature over the full operating
temperature and input voltage range. Fabricated with BIFET processing rather than CMOS, special handling is not
necessary to prevent damage to these switches. Because
the digital Inputs only require a 2.0V logic "1" Input level,
power-consuming pullup resistors are not required for TTL
compatibility to Insure break·before·make switching as is
most often the case with CMOS switches. The digital inputs

The "ON" reSistance, RON, of the analog switches is con·
stant over the wide input voltage range of -15V to +11V
with VSUPPLY = ±15V. For normal operation, however,
positive input voltages should be restricted to 11V (or 4V
less than the positive supply). This assures that the VGS of
an OFF switch remains greater than Its Vp• and prevents
that channel from being falsely turned ON. Individual switches
are "ON" without power applied.

The SW751017511 are monolithic linear devices, each containing four independently selectable SPST analog switches.
Offering both normally open (SW7510), and normally closed
operation (SW7511), these units are fabricated with Precision Monolithic's high-performance BI-FET technology.
Because JFET switches are used, specIal handling, as
required with CMOS, Is not necessary to avoId damagIng
these unIts.

PIn Compallble wIth AD7510 01, AD7511 01
JFET SwItches Rather than CMOS
HIghly ResIstant to Stallc DIscharge Damage
No SCR Latch-up Problems
Low "ON" ResIstance - 750 MaxImum
SuperIor "OFF" IsolatIon and Crosstalk
DIgItal Inputs CompatIble wIth TTL and CMOS
No Pull-up ResIstors RequIred to Inlure
Break-Before-Make Action WIth TTL Inputl

Performance advantages include exceptionally high "OFF"
isolation and low crosstalk. Low leakage currents enable
high transfer accuracy applications which include program·
mabie gain amplifiers and active filters. Data conversion,
position controllers, choppers, demodulators, and general
purpose switching and multiplexing are among other ap·
plications for which these devices are well suited.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
This analog switch employs ion-implanted JFETs in a switch
configuration designed to assure break-before-make action.
The turn-off time is much faster than the turn-on time to
guarantee this feature over the full operating temperature
and input voltage range. Fabricated with BIFET processing,
special handling, as required with CMOS, is not necessary to
prevent damage to these switches. Because the digital inputs
only require a 2.0V logic "1" input level, power-consuming
pullup resistors are not required for TTL compatibility to
insure break-before-make switching as is most often the
case with CMOS switches. The digital inputs utilize PNP
input transistors where input current is maximum at the logic
"0" level and drops to that of a reverse-biased diode (about
10nA) as the input voltage is raised above ~ 1.4V.

The "ON" resistance, RON, of the analog switches is con·
stant over the wide input voltage range of -15V to + 11V
with VSUPPLY = ± 15V, Higher input voltage is tolerable pro·
vided that some form of current limiting is employed (such
as that of an op·amp output stage) to avoid exceeding
junction temperature and power dissipation requirements,
For normal operation, however, positive input voltages
should be restricted to 11V (or 4V less than the positive
supply). This assures that the VGS of an OFF switch remains greater than its Vp , and prevents that channel from
being falsely turned ON. Individual switches are "ON"
without power applied.
Proper switching requires the "Source" terminal be con·
nected to the input driving signal.

INTRODUCTION
Sample-and-hold amplifiers"Sample" an analog input signal
and then "Hold" the instantaneous input value upon the
command of a logic control signal. Basically the sampleand-hold is an "analog memory" where an external capacitor
serves as the storage element. Applications in which a time
varying input cannot be tolerated require sample-and-hold
circuits. A fast successive-approximation analog-to-digital
converter is one application. Data acquisition, data distribution, analog delay and telephony requirements dictate the
use of sample-hold circuits to "freeze" the analog signal for
further signal processing.
A sample-and-hold circuit is conceptually an amplifier, .
switch, and capacitor. Many specifications are similar to
those of switches and operational amplifiers - bias currents,
voltage gain, and charge injection are examples. These and
other specifications pertaining uniquely to sample-and-hold
circuits are defined below.
The SMP-10 and SMP-11 are precision sample-and-hold
amplifiers with high accuracy, low droop rate, and fast signal
acquisition time. These Circuits contain a high input impedance input buffer amplifier, a diode bridge sample hold
switch, a transconductance or "Super-Charger" circuit to
enhance slewing and' a high speed output amplifier. The
"Super-Charger" is capable of supplementing the diode

bridge capacitor charging current whenever the difference
between input and output levels exceeds a given threshold.
Settling to final value is under control of currents from the
diode bridge, thus minimizing the chances of overshoot and
instability. The low zero scale error is achieved by precision
current matching techniques employed in the biasing of both
input and output amplifiers and the diode bridge. The inherent low offset voltage errors and low charge injection made
possible by precise circuit design and layout allows the
residual zero scale errors to be actively trimmed using PMl's
"Zener Zapping" technology without degrading temperature
performance. "Super Beta" transistors made possible by ion
implant processing create the high input impedance amplifiers needed for low droop rate and minimal signal loading.
The SMP-10 and SMP-11 differ from each other in droop rate
and settling time in the hold mode.
In addition to Precision Sample and Hold Amplifiers, two
products with related capabilities are also available. The
GAP-01 General Purpose Analog Processor provides the user
with two independent switched transconductance amplifiers,
a unity gain buffer and an uncommitted voltage comparator.
This is a non-dedicated functional block which has a wide
variety of applications. Thp. second device is the PKD-Ol Monolithic Peak Detector. This device performs the peak detector
function with accuracies approaching those obtainable with
high cost hybrid modules at a cost approaching the low cost,
low performance discrete designs.

DEFINITIONS OF TERMS
ACQUISITION TIME
The minimum time for the output voltage to begin tracking
the input voltage, to within a specified error band, after the
inception of the sample command. By convention, acquisi·
tion time is defined for sampling of a DC level. For instance
a circuit which is "holding" a 10V output signal, and
operating with zero input volts, is switched to the sample
mode. The acquisition time is then the time required for the
output to decrease to within a ±10mV band about ground
potential.
APERTURE TIME
The time between the inception of the hold command and
the time the circuit output ceases tracking the input signal.
When the holding capacitor charging current is less than
O.3mA the aperture time is nomlna"y 5Ons. The aperture
time Is a function of the holding capacitor charging current
'CH. The changing current is in turn a function of the rate of
change of the input signal voltage. This relationship holds
true up to a maximum of 50mA which is the maximum
current available from the SMP·11 to charge holding capaci·
tor CH. Charging current can be calculated from the rate of
change of the input analog signal and the size of CH by the
equation:
ICH = CH

~~ (ICH = 50mA Max.)

CHANGE IN HOLD STEP
Actual hold step less the hold step measured after sampling
V = O. A change in hold step has two components: the first is
a function of input voltage, the second is a function of the
rise time of the 5tH voltage. Note that rise time of 5tH
voltage also effects ZERO·SCALE·ERROR.
CHARGE TRANSFER
The amount of charge transferred to the holding capacitor
due to the action of the switch. Charge is transferred to CH
when the circuit is switched to the hold mode. Charge
transfer causes a change In output voltage tNzs as defined
by the equation:

tN (V) = at(pC)
zs

CH (pF)

FEEDTHROUGH ATIENUATION RATIO
The change of voltage applied to the input as a ratio of the
change of voltage observed at the output, caused by the
input disturbance, while the circuit is in the hold mode.
FULL POWER BANDWIDTH
The maximum frequency at which rated output voltage Eor
can be supplied without significant distortion. Fu" power
bandwidth Fp is related to slew rate SR by the following
equation:

F _..§B....
p-

21rEor

Using this equation Fp of 160kHz can be computed. This is
applicable only for pulsed conditions. Power dissipation
limits Fp to 100kHz for C.W. operation.
GAIN ERROR
Voltage difference between input and output voltage minus
the output voltage measured over specified range.
HOLD CAPACITOR CHARGING CURRENT
The current ICH which charges, or discharges, the capacitor
while the circuit is in the sample mode.
HOLD MODE SETILING TIME
The time for a" transients to settle within a specified error
band. Measured from the inception of the hold command.
HOLD STEP
Magnitude of step caused In the output voltage by switch·
ing the circuit from sample mode to hold mode.
INPUT BIAS CURRENT
The current into the input terminal with input voltage held at
zero volts.

The current which flows out of holding capacitor CH while
the circuit Is operating In the hold mode. In general droop
current lOR is defined positive when its direction is into the
CH pin.

at

~VZS(V)=CH -1mV

OUTPUT RESISTANCE
An AC change in output voltage as a result of an AC change
in load current.

DROOP RATE
Droop rate dVdtdt is the rate of change of output voltage while
the circuit is operated in the hold mode. dVdtdt is a direct
function of droop current lOR and related by the equation:
dVd =~ 1""

CH x U·
where dVdtdt is expressed in ,.Vtms with lOR in nanoamperes
and CH in picofarads.

Note that for at = 5pC and CH= 5000pF offset error = 1mY.
The 5MP-11 has been factory nulled for CH = 5000pF. For

from the equation:

POWER SUPPLY REJECTION RATIO
The change in output voltage for a change in power supply
voltage when the circuit is maintained in the sample mode.
The best power supply rejection ratio PSRR is obtained with
the power supply voltage changing at a very low rate (DC).
For essentially DC conditions PSRR for the hold mode of
operation is essentially the same as the PSRR for the

SLEW RATE

ZERO SCALE ERROR

The maximum possible rate of change of the output voltage

be measured by operating the circuit In the sample mode
and applying a step function to the Input, or by applying an

The magnitude of the output voltage when the circuit is
switched from sample to hold mode while holding the input

HIGH ACCURACY AND LOW DROOP RATE
The high input impedance and the low droop rates of the
SMP-10 and the SMP-11 are achieved by using bipolar darlington circuits and an ion implant process that creates
"super beta" transistors.

The output buffer's input stage converts to a super beta
darlington configuration during the hold mode, which results
in a very low droop rate with no penalty in acquisition time.
The use of bipolar transistors achieves a low change in droop
rate over the operating temperature range.
FAST ACQUISITION
A unique super charger provides up to SOmA of charging
current to the hold capacitor, which results in smooth, fast
charging with minimum noise. As the hold capacitor voltage
nears its final value, the low current diode bridge controls the
final settling time. This unique combination of linear functions in a monolithic circuit enables the system designer to
achieve superior performance.

SAMPLE/HOLD MODES

VLC = OV FOR TTL COMPATIBILITY

During the null adjustment, the amplifier should be switched
continuously between the "sample" and "hold" mode. The
error should be adjusted to read zero when the unit is in the
"hold" mode. In this way, both offset voltage errors and
charge transfer errors are adjusted to zero.

As shown in the Figure, the sample/hold mode control is ac·
compllshed by steering the current (11) through 01 or 02,
thus providing high-speed switching and a predictable logic

threshold. For TIL and DTL interface, simply ground VLC
(Pin 13). For CMOS, HTL and HNIL interface, the appropriate
threshold voltage, allowing for 2 diode drops for D1 and VSE
of Q3, should be applied to VLC .
For proper operation, the VLc (logic control) must always be
at least 3.5V below the positive supply and 2.0V above the
negative supply.

The hold capacitor should have very high inSUlation
resistance and low dielectric absorption. For temperatures
below 85 ·C, polystyrene capacitors are recommended,
while teflon capacitors are recomended for higher
temperature applications.

Sample and hold control voltage (S/H) must always be at
least 2.8V above the negative supply.

SIGNAL TRANSFER NONLINEARITY TEST CIRCUIT
GUARDING AND GROUNDING LAYOUT
The use of a ground plane is strongly recommended to
minimize ground path resistances. Separate analog and
digital grounds should be used, and it is advisable to keep
these two ground systems isolated until they are tied back
to the common system ground. Digital currents should not
flow back to the system ground through the analog ground
path.

The hold capacitor (C H) acts as a memory element and also
as a compensating capacitor for the sample and hold
amplifier. For stable operation, a minimum value of 2000pF
is recommended, with no limit set for the maximum value.
The devices have been internally trimmed for C H = 5000 pF.
Other values of C H will cause a zero scale shift, which can be

through the "MUX" is also possible. The GAP-01 operates
as a sample/hold amplifier in the hold mode when both input amplifiers are unselected. With the on-board comparator, a two-channel successive approximation analog-todigital conversion (ADC) system may be constructed. Combining a sign-magn'itude, digital-to-analog (DAC) converter
with the GAP-01 results in a four-quadrant multiplying DAC.
The GAP-01 contains all the functional devices needed to
perform synchronous demodulation or implement the absolute value function.

FUNCTIONAL DIAGRAM
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Designed as a general-purpose analog processing subsystem, the GAP-01 combines many commonly used system
building blocks within a single integrated circuit. Being a
monolithic design, the GAP-01 offers significant performance and package density advantages over discrete
designs without sacrificing system versatility.

AMPLIFIER 14 NULL

The basic circuit versatility stems from the GAP-01's architecture. The circuit features two differential input transconductance amplifiers, two low-glitch current mode switches,
an output voltage buffer amplifier and a preciSion comparator.

OUTPUT

.INPUT -INPUT

-INPUT

~_+!--o Yout

·INPUT

Both transconductance input amplifier outputs are switched
by current mode switches into the voltage follower output
stage, thus providing two digitally selectable signal paths
through the device. Gain through the two channels may be
different in both sign and magnitude with proper feedback
selection. An external capacitor provides loop compensation and doubles as a hold or "memory" capacitor when the
GAP-01 functions as a dual-channel sample/hold amplifier.
Offset voltage and charge transfer errors are actively trimmed
by using the "Zener Zap" trim technique. The output buffer
features an FET input stage to reduce droop rate error in S/H
applications. A bias current cancellation circuit minimizes
droop' error at high ambient temperature.

CONTROL LOGIC

The inclusion of a precision comparator on chip increases
the GAP-01 's versatility and cost effectiveness in non-linear
or data conversion applications. The output high voltage
level is set by external resistors. This scheme maximizes
noise immunity and permits interface to all standard logic
families - TTL, DTL, and CMOS.
Several applications exploit the ability to select the signal
path through the GAP-01. As a two-channel multiplexer or
analog switch, the GAP-01 high input impedance offers advantages when switching high impedance signals. Gain

NOTES:
1. Guaranteed by design.
2. Due to limited production test times the droop current corresponds to
junction tempe~ature (T J). The droop cu(rent VS. time (after power-on)
curve clarifies tHis point. Since most peak detectors (in use) are on for more
than 1 second. PMI specifies droop rate for ambient temperature (T A) also.

The warmed-up (T A) droop current specification is correlated to the junction temperature (T J) value. PMI has a droop current cancellation circuit
which minimizes droop current at high temperatures.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

CAPACITOR GUARDING AND GROUND LAYOUT

CAPACITOR RECOMMENDATIONS
The external capacitor (CH) serves as the compensation
capacitor and hold capacitor in sample/hold applications.
Stable operation requires a minimum value of 500pF. Larger
capacitors may be used to lower droop rate errors, but acquisition time will increase and bandwidth decrease.
The capacitor should have very high insulation resistance
and low dielectric absorption. For temperatures below
85·C, a polystyrene capacitor is recommended, while a
Teflon capacitor is recommended for high temperature en·
vironments.

Ground planes are recommended to minimize ground path
resistance. Separate analog and digital grounds should be
used. The two ground systems are tied together only at the
common system ground. Avoid digital currents returning to
the system ground through the analog ground path.
The CH terminal (Pin 4) is a high-impedance point since a
transconductance amplifier is used as the input amplifier.
To minimize gain errors and maintain the GAp·01 's inherently low droop rate, guarding Pin 4 is recommended.

COMPARATOR
The comparator output high level (YOH) is set by external
resistors. It's possible to optimize noise immunity while interfacing to all standard logic families - TTL, DTL, and
CMOS. Figure 1 shows the comparator output with external
and
values
'evel setting resistors. Table I gives typical
for common circuit conditions.

R1 R2

With the comparator in the low state (VoLl, the output stage
will be required to sink a current approximately equal to
Ve/R1'

NON·INVERTING
COMPARATOR INPUT

Vc

LOGIC CONTROL
The input transconductance amplifier outputs are switched
by the digital logic signals channel A and channel B. Two
signal paths through the GAP-01 are possible.
The logic threshold voltage is 1.4 volts when digital ground
is at zero volts. Other threshold voltages (VTH ) may be
selected by applying the formula:

VTH ~ 1.4V + Digital Ground Potential.

reference to digital ground and will follow any changes in
digital ground potential:

Offset voltage through either channel A or channel B may be
nulled with an externall00kO potentiometer.

VOL .. 0.2V + Digital Ground Potential.

ZERO SCALE ERROR ADJUSTMENT
For sample/hold applications the zero scale error (Vos plus
charge injection error) can be adjusted to zero. With the in·
put to each channel equal to zero, the GAP'()l is switched
between the sample mode (either channel A or channel B
active) and the hold mode (channel A - 1, channel B = 0).
The output is adjusted to read zero when the unit is in the
hold mode.
The Vzs trim circuit is identical to the Vos trim circuit.

Many system functions are included in the PKD-01. The
external hold capacitor is resettable to any voltage within the
output buffer input voltage range. The analog reset voltage is
applied through a high impedance, switched "gm" amplifier.
The reset buffer amplifier, B, may operate as a inverting or
non-inverting gain stage.
Through the DET control pin, new peaks may either be
detected or ignored. Detected peaks are presented as positive output levels. Positive or negative peaks may be detected
without additional active circuits since amplifier A can operate as an inverting or non-inverting gain stage.
An uncommitted comparator provides many application
options. Status indication and logic shaping/shifting are typical examples.

Innovative design techniques were developed to maximize
the advantages monolithic technology presented. Transconductance (gm) amplifiers were chosen over conventional
voltage amplifier circuit building blocks. The "gm amplifiers
simplify internal frequency compensation, minimize acquisition time and maximize circuit accuracy. The gm amplifier
outputs are easily switched by low glitch current steering
circuits. The steered outputs are clamped to reduce charge
injection errors upon entering the peak hold mode or exiting
the reset mode. The inherently low zero scale error, is
reduced further by active "Zener-Zap" trimming to optimize
overall accuracy.

PKD·01 MONOLITHIC PEAK DETECTOR WITH RESET AND HOLD MODE

THEORY OF OPERATION
The typical peak detector uses voltage amplifiers and a
diode or an emitter follower to charge the hold capacitor,
CH, unidirectionally (Figure 1). The output impedance of A
plus D1.'s dynamic impedance, rd, make up the resistance
which determines the feedback loop pole. The dynamic
impedance is rd = RI . Id is the capacitor charging current.
q d
The pole moves toward the origin of the S plane as Id goes
to zero. The pole movement in itself will not significantly
lengthen the acquisition time since the pole is enclosed in
.
the system feedback loop.
When the moving pole is considered with the typical fre·
quency compensation of voltage amplifiers there is, how·
ever, a loop stability problem. The necessary compensation
can increase the required acquisition time. PMI's approach
replaces the input voltage amplifier with a transconduc·
tance amplifier; Figure 2.
The PKD·01 transfer function can be reduced to:
1
1
Vout
"V;"N = 1 + SCH + 1
~ 1 + SCH
gm gmRout
9m
Where: gm~1I'A/mV, Rout~20MI!.
The diode in series with A's output (Figure 2) has no effect
because it is a resistance in series with a current source. In
addition to simplifying the system compensation, the input
transconductance amplifier output current is switched by
current steering. The steered output is clamped to reduce
and match any charge injection.
Fig. 3 shows a simplified schematic of the reset "gm" amplifier, 8. In the track mode, 01 &04are ON and 02&03are OFF.
A current of 21 passes through D 1, I is summed at "8" and
passes through 0 1, and is summed with gmVIN' The current
sink can absorb only31, thus, the current passing through O2
can only be: 21- gmVIN' The net current into the hold capacitor node then, is gmVIN (ICH = 21 - (21 - gmVIN). The hold
mode, 02&03are ON while 01 & 04are OFF. The net current
into the top of 0 1 is -I until 0 3 turns ON. With 01 OFF, the
bottom of O2 is pulled up with a current I until 0 4 turns ON,
thus 0 1& 02are reverse biased by~O.6Vand charge injection
is independent of input level.
The monolithic layout results in points A and B having equal
nodal capacitance. In addition, matched diodes D1 and D2
have equal diffusion capacitance. When the transconduc·
tance amplifier outputs are switched open, pOints A and B
are ramped equally but in opposite phase. Diode clamps D3
and D4 cause the swings to have equal amplitudes. The net
charge injection (voltage change) at node C is therefore
zero.
The peak transconductance amplifier, A, is shown in Figure
4. Unidirectional hold capacitor charging requires diode 0 1
to be connected in series with the output. Upon entering the
peak hold mode D1 is reverse biased. The voltage clamp
limits charge injection to approximately 1pC and the hold
step to O.6mV.
Minimizing acquisition time dictated a small CH capaci·
tance. A 1000pF value was selected. Droop rate was also
minimized by providing the output buffer with an FET input
stage. A current cancellation circuit further reduces droop
current and minimizes the gate current's tendency to double
for every 10·C temperature change.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
OPTIONAL OFFSET VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT
Offset voltage is the primary zero scale error component
since a variable voltage clamp limits voltage excursions at
D1'S anode and reduces charge injection. The PKD·01 circuit
gain and operational mode (positive or negative peak detec·
tion) determine the applicable null circuit. Figures A through
D are suggested circuits. Each circuit corrects amplifier C
offset voltage error also.
A. NULLING GATED OUTPUT gm AMPLIFIER A. Diode D1
must be conducting to close the feedback circuit during

amplifier A Vos adjustment. Resistor network RA·Rc cause
D1 to conduct slightly. With DET = 0 and V1N = OV monitor
the PKD·01 output. Adjust the null potentiometer until
VOUT OV. After adjustment, disconnect Rc from CH.

=

B. NULLING GATED gm AMPLIFIER B. Set amplifier B
Signal input to VIN = OV and monitor the PKD·01 output. Set
DET = 1, RST = 1 and adjust the null potentiometer for
VOUT = OV. The circuit gain - inverting or noninverting will determine which null circuit illustrated in Figures A
through D is applicable.

PEAK HOLD CAPACITOR RECOMMENDATIONS
The hold capacitor (CH) serves as the peak memory element
and compensating capacitor. Stable operation requires a
minimum value of 1000pF. Larger capacitors may be used
to lower droop rate errors, but acquisition time will increase.

With the comparator in the low state (Vall, the output stage
will be required to sink a current approximately equal 10
Vc lR l·

Zero scale error is internally trimmed for CH = 1000pF. Other
CH values will cause a zero scale shift which can be approximated with the following equation.

NON·INVERTING
COMPARATOR INPUT

R,

cNzs(mV) = 1 X 103(pC) _ 0.6mV
CH(nF)
The peak hold capacitor should have very high insulation
resistance and low dielectric absorption. For temperatures
below 85 ·C, a polystyrene capacitor is recommended, while
a Teflon capacitor is recommended for high temperature environments.

R,

CAPACITOR GUARDING AND GROUND LAYOUT
Ground planes are recommended to minimize ground path
resistance. Separate analog and digital grounds should be
used. The two ground systems are tied together only at the
common system ground. Avoid digital currents returning to
the system ground through the analog ground path.
The CH terminal (Pin 4) is a high-impedance point since a
transconductance amplifier is·used as the input amplifier.
To minimize gain errors and maintain the PKD-01's inherently low droop rate, guarding Pin 4 is recommended.

PEAK DETECTOR LOGIC CONTROL (RST, DET)

COMPARATOR OUTPUT
The comparator output high level (VOH ) is set by external
resistors. It's possible to optimize noise immunity while interfacing to all standard logic families - TIL, DTL, and
CMOS. Figure 1 shows the comparator output with external
level setting resistors. Table I gives typical Rl and R2 values
for common circuit conditions.
The maximum comparator high output voltage (VOH ) should
be limited to:
VoH(maximum) < V +

- 2.0V

The transconductance amplifier outputs are controlled by
the digital logic signals RST and DET. The PKD-01 operational mode is selected by steering the current (1 1) through
0 1 and O2, thus providing high-speed switching and a
predictable logiC threshold. The logic threshold voltage is
1.4 volts when digital ground is at zero volts.
Other threshold voltages (VTH ) may be selected by applying
the formula:
VTH "'1.4V + Digital Ground Potential.
For proper operation, digital ground must always be at least
3.5V below the positive supply and 2.5V above the negative
supply. The RST or DET signal must always be at least 2.8V
above the negative supply.
Operating the digital ground at other than zero volts does influence the comparator output low voltage. The VOL level is
reference to digital ground and will follow any changes in
digital ground potential:
VOL ",O.2V + Digital Ground Potential.

INTRODUCTION
The circuits described in this section are intended for, but
not limited to, Telecommllnication Applications. These circuits fill such applications asPCM CODECs, Repeaters,
switching systems, etc. The components include: D/A
Converters, Sample-and-Hold Amplifiers, Multiplexersl
Demultiplexers and Repeaters. When used with references,
comparators,· operational amplifiers and other components
in. this catalog, they comprise the analog portion of many
Telecommunications systems.Some components will bear a
great reseinblance to Devices listed elsewhere; e.g., the
DAC-88 resembles the DAC-78. In fact, they are the same
device with the exception that Telecommunications devices
are selected and tested to parameters of i ntarest to Telecommunications users and the industrial counterparts are
specified .for those parameters of interest to users in other
industries.

Included in this section are a series of D/A converters: the
DAC-86, DAC-87,DAC-88 and DAC-89. These devices are
intended for use in Bell "255" companding law (DAC-aS/88)
Codec systems (U.S.) or "A" companding law (DAC-87/89)
response for use in European systems. In conjunction with
these systems, other devices available for use in codecs are:
the SMP81 Sample-and-Hold Amplifier, the MUX88 Schannel Analog Multiplexer, and the DMX-88 S-channel
Demultiplexer. Standard industrial devices which may be
used with these specialized devices are: CMP01/CMP05
Comparators, REFOllREF02 Voltage Reference, and OP01,
OP15, OP 37 operational amplifiers (to name it few).
Also included in this section are the RPT81 and RPT82 PCM
Carrier Repeater. These devices can also be used as clock
regeneration circuits in non-telephony applications.
Complete data, as well as applications ideas are given for all
devices.

BELL ,...255 LAW TRANSFER CHARACTERISTIC

The DAC-86 monolithic COMDAC® D/A Converter provides
a 15 segment linear approximation to the Bell System
1'"255 companding law. The law is implemented by using
three bits to select one of eight binarily-related chords (or
segments) and four bits to select one of sixteen linearlyrelated steps within each chord. A sign bit determines
signal polarity, and an encode/decode select bit determines encode or decode operation.

The transfer characteristic of the DAC-86 is a piecewise linear
approximation to the Bell System ,...25 law expressed by:
Y(x)

=sgn(x) In(1 +l-'lxD
In(1 + i4

-1 :5 X:51

Accuracy is assured by speCifying chord end pOint values,
step nonlinearity, and monotonicity over the full operating
temperature range. Typical applications include PCM carrier systems, digital PBX's, intercom systems, and PCM
recording. For CCITT"A" Law models, refer to the DAC-87/89
data sheet.

for a normalized coding range of ±1
where: x = input signal level
Y = output compressed signal level
1-'=255
This law is implemented by the DAC-86 with an eight chord
(or segment) piecewise linear approximation with 16 linear
steps in each chord for both polarities. Dynamic range of
72dB in both polarities is achieved with eight-bit coding.

NOTE:
In a companding DAC the term LSB is not used because the step size within
each chord Is different. For example, In the first chord around zero (C~) step
size is 0.5"A, while in the last chord near full scale (C 7) step size is 4"A.
Settling time varies for each of the chord bits and step bits and a maximum

specification is misleading. In decode operation, the DAC-86 and OP-16
combination will decode eight channels. In the encode mode, the DAC-86
and CMp·01 combination will encode eight channels. Both encode and
decode statements assume a 5.2p.sec channel time.

In a conventional (linear converter), the step size Is a constant percentage of full scale, but In a compressing AID
converter, the step size increases as the output changes

When the DAC is used in the feedback loop of a successive approximation ADC the DAC outputs are used as
decision levels to determine the edges of the quantizing
bands. When the DAC is used in the decode mode it
follows that the outputs must correspond to the center of
the quantizing bands. Thus the encode mode output must
exceed the decode mode output by one-half step. See AN
39 for further explanation.

BITS

ENCODING SEQUENCE

An encoding sequence begins with the sign bit decision.
During this time the comparator is a polarity detector only.
The EncodelDecode (E/D) input is held at a logic "0", so that
no current flows into the encode outputs, and the comparator Is effectively disconnected from the DAC. Once the
input polarity has been determined, the EID input is changed
toa logic "1" allowing current to flow into IOE( +) or IOE( -)
depending upon the Sign Bit Answer.

to maintain the proper logic coding, all ones for full scale
and all zeros for zero scale. (A more complete schematic is
shown in the applications section).
The bits are converted with a successive removal technique,
starting with a decision at the code 011 1111 and turning off
bits sequentially until all decisions have been made.

OUTPUT 1+)

The decode mode of operation is selected by applying a
logic "0" to the Encode/Decode input. This enables the 100
outputs, disables the 10E outputs and, allows loo( +) or
loo( -) to be selected by the Sign Bit input. When the Sign
Bit input is high, a logic "1", all of the output current flows
into loo( +) forcing a positive voltage at the operational
amplifier's output. When the Sign Bit input is low, a logic
"0", all of the output current flows into loo( -) through R2
forcing a negative voltage output. Since the Sign Bit only
steers current into loo( +) or loo( -), the output will always
be symmetrical, limited only by the matching of R1 and R2.

The encode and decode tabl.es may be used to calculate
ideal output current at any point. For example, in decode
mode at 13,7 (011 0111) find 343. 343/8031 times IFS of
2007.75pA equals 85.75pA. Alternatively, use the condensed
current tables and add up the number of steps.

BASIC REFERENCE CONSIDERATIONS
R,2

Full scale output current is ideally 2007.75pA when the
reference current is 528pA in the decode mode. In the en·
code mode it is 2039.75pA because the additional 1/2 step
adds 32pA to the output. A percentage change in IREF caused
by changes in VREF or RREF will produce the same percent·
age change in output current.

2Ok.ll

'REf '"

The large step size at full scale allows the use of Inexpen·
sive references in many applications. In some situations
VREF may even be the positive power supply. For example,
with V+ = 15V, RREF= 15V/528pA or 28.4kO. When using a
power supply as a reference, R11 should be two resistors,
R11A and R11B, and the junction should be bypassed to
ground to provide decoupling.

REFERENCE AMPLIFIER SETUP

The DAC-86 is a multiplying D/A converter in which the out·
put current is the product of the normalized digital Input and
the input reference current. The reference current m"y be
fixed or may vary from nearly zero to + 1.0mA. The full scale
output current is a linear function of the reference current
and is given for all four outputs in the figures above.

In positive reference applications an external positive
reference voltage forces current through R11 into the VFd +)
terminal (pin 11) of the reference amplifier. Alternatively, a
negative reference may be applied to V~ -) at pin 12;
reference current flows from ground through R11 Into V~ +),
as in the positive reference case. This negative reference
connection has the advantage of a very high impedance

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
These de-multiplexers employ ion·implanted JFETs in a
switch configuration designed to assure break-before-make
action. The turn-off time is much faster than the turn·on
time to guarantee this feature over the full operating
temperature and input voltage range. Fabricated with BIFET processing rather than CMOS, special handling Is not
necessary to prevent damage to this multiplexer. Because
the digital inputs only require a 2.0V logic "1" input level,
power-consuming pullup resistors are not required for TTL
compatibility to insure break-before-make switching as is
most often the case with CMOS devices. The digital inputs
utilize PNP input transistors where Input current is maximum at the logic "0" level and drops to that of a reversebiased diode (about 10nA) as the input voltage is raised
about ",1.4V.
The ON resistance, RON, of the analog switches is constant
over the wide input voltage range of -15V to +11V with
VSUPPLY ±15V. Higher input voltage is tolerable provided
that some form of current limiting Is employed (such as that
of an op-amp output stage) to avoid exceeding Junction
temperature and power dissipation requirements. For normal operation, however, positive Input voltages should be
restricted to 11V (or 4V less than the positive supply). This
assures that the VGS of an OFF switch remains greater than

=

its Vp, and prevents that channel from being falsely turned
ON. When operating with negative input voltages, the gateto-channel diode will be turned on if the voltage drop across
an ON switch exceeds -0.6V. While this condition will
cause an error in the output, it will not damage the switch.

CROSSTALK IN PCM SYSTEMS
In PAM .or PCM systems crosstalk specifications for components, such as multiplexers or de-multiplexers, are
related to overall system crosstalk specifications in a complex manner. Component specification must, of necessity,
refer to the operation of the multiplexer In a non-sampling
mode of operation. When rapid sequential sampling takes
place, such as would be the case with a typical sharedchannel COOEC, crosstalk will be caused by the off Isolation properties of the multiplexer as well as by storage
elements on chip and PC card stray capacitance. For example, the capacitance has the effect of conferencing the
channels and increasing crosstalk. Thus, system crosstalk
In a shared-channel PCM COOEC is influenced by multiplexed
characteristics as well as PC card layout and the timing
relationship between the multiplexer and the sample-hold
circuit.

systems. Typical crosstalk at 20kHz is 98dB. Monolithic
construction makes possible this kind of performance while
keeping the price reasonable. The MUX-88 makes use of
digital logic to select the one-of-eight channels to be
presented to the multiplexer output. In addition, there is an
ENABLE input which permits turning OFF all channels. Using
this function permits selection of any given multiplexer in a
system employing multiple devices.

The MUX-88 is a 8-channel analog multiplexer which is
ideally suited for use in shared-channel PCM CODEC

Fabricated with Precision Monolithics' high performance
SI/FET technology, this device offers low, constant "ON"
resistance. In addition the multiplexer has fast settling
times and low leakage currents necessary to satisfy the requirements of a 8-channel PCM CODEC. This multiplexer
does not suffer from latch-up and is highly resistant to static
charge blow-out problems associated with similar CMOS
parts. The digital inputs are designed to operate from both
TTL and CMOS levels while always providing a definite
break-belore-make action without the need lor external pullup resistors.

across a 4800 transformer primary (50% d.f.) for
CCID. These currents compute to 15mA and 12.5mA
respectively (for both sides).

REPEATER CURRENT REQUIREMENTS
For comparison to CCIT or AD specifications it is convenient to estimate total repeater current requirements.
Repeater current is typically calculated in the following
manner:

iv. ALBO diode current is 26mV divided by the minimum;
required ALBO resistance (approximately 80).
Typically worst case is 6.5mA (for both sides).

i. Each of the two zeners used as regulators have idle
current requirements of approximately 1.0mA (2mA).
ii. Total no-signal supply current, from the electrical
characteristics table, is 13.0mA (guaranteed maximum) for each side.

Adding the currents calculated into the currents calculated
in ii, iii, and iv gives the following typical repeater current requirements:
i. U.S. . ......... 49.5mA (worst case all ones output)

iii. To compute worst case (all ones) output current
assumes a 6.0 volt pulse across a 4000 transformer

ii. Europe ....... 47.0mA (worst case all ones output)

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
In a typical repeater system extensive external circuitry is
required. The regulator network, assembled from zener
diodes and resistors is used to power the integrated circuit.
Normally one common circuit is provided for the two ICs
operating in opposite directions. Input and output transformers are used to couple the transmission lines. The input
one-to-one transformer has secondary loaded with a line
matching resistor to avoid reflections on the input lines. An
attenuator network may be installed after this input transformer as a fixed line-build-out pad. Feedback resistors are
used to set the DC bias of the circuit. Additionally the bias
network is connected to a fixed resistive voltage divider to tie
the biasing network to a fixed potential. The ALBO network
consists of a series impedance and a shunt impedance where
the shunt impedance is AC terminated to the ALBO diode.
The shunt impedance has both resistive and reactive components to assist in line equalization. The equalizing network is
basically a series tuned circuit in one of the input legs of the
preamplifier whose function is to give the preamplifier a frequency response which corrects for the amplitude and phase
response of the input line. The design of the equalizing network is very important to the system performance. A lag
capacitor across the preamplifier input stabilizes the preamplifier. The output transformer normally incorporates a fault
locating winding which is used, in conjunction with appro-

priate filters, to detect defective repeaters. The input transformer has a center tapped primary to allow for a simplex
powering system.
The RPT-811RPT-82 oscillator allows two modes of operation
controllable by pin 13 (Oscillator Control). When grounded
the oscillator is in a free-running mode. With pin 13 open the
oscillator works in a pulsed, ringing mode. In both cases the
external L-C tank circuit determines the oscillation frequency.
The external delay capacitor (across pins 11 and 12) provides
90· of phase shift through the clock amplifier. For best performance a 10pF silver mica capacitor is suggested.
Oscillator tank circuit a directly affects the clock regeneration circuitry. The effective a of the L-C oscillator tank circuit
must be high enough that ringing will be maintained with
minimum pulse densities. The resonant a cannot, however,
be arbitrarily large, or operating temperature changes and
component aging will cause resonant frequency shifts. The
RPT-81/RPT-82 will operate with a's as low as 75.
In order to provide noise rejection, the analog and digital
grounds have been isolated on chip. Low noise/distortion
operation can be enhanced if the high power output leads
and external circuitry are physically located as far as possible
from the preamplifier inputs. Supply bypassing of V CC1 and
V CC2 close to device pins is encouraged.

mally occurring common mode output voltage. The best
noise performance is obtained with this system but some
problems are encountered at low temperatures where the
circuittends to turn itself oft In a fixed biased scheme one of
the inputs is biased to a fixed DC level while the other input is
biased to the opposite output in the same manner as with self
bias. Note that with fixed bias a differential output offset will
be caused if the fixed bias is not matched to the normally
occuring output level. If the fixed level is very close to the
normally occuring output level then there is an improvement
in performance at low temperature.

Both inverting and non-inverting outputs of the RPT-811
RPT-82 preamplifier are available so that either self-biasing
or fixed-biasing techniques may be employed. The effect of
the DC biasing is to setthe thresholds ofthe detectors. All the
thresholds move together, the relative threshold which is
defined in terms of a percentage of the peak detector threshold is determined by the resistor string. In a self-biased
scheme the non-inverting output is returned to the inverting
input and the inverting output is returned to the non-inverting
input. In this manner the input leads are biased to the nor-

HIGH ACCURACY AND LOW DROOP RATE
The high input impedance and low droop rate of the SMp·81
are achieved by PMI's ion implant super beta process. The
high input impedance permits high impedance source ap·
plications without degrading accuracy, and low droop rate.
Other features of the SMp·81 include high accuracy, O.6mV
of combined offset voltage and step transfer error, and very
low feedthrough. A diode bridge switch design allows
minimum charge transfer step. On·chip Zener·Zap trimming
eliminates nulling for most applications.

A unique super charger or transconductance amplifier provides up to 50mA charging current to the hold capacitor. As
a result, smooth charging of the hold capacitor is achieved
with minimum noise. The super charger, in conjunction with
the high slewing rate input and output buffer amplifiers, per·
mits fast acquisition operation. The adjustable logic input
threshold makes the SMP-81 compatible to all logic families.

DEFINITION OF TERMS
ZERO SCALE ERROR

current IDR Is defined positive when its direction is into the
C H pin.

The magnitude of the output voltage when the circuit is
switched from sample to hold mode while holding the input
at zero volts. Zero Scale Error Vzs is the algebraic sum of the
offset voltage and the charge transfer step Voltage. Vzs can
be adjusted to zero (see Zero Scale Error null adjustment).
INPUT BIAS CURRENT
The current into the input terminal with input voltage held at
zero volts.

DROOP RATE
Droop rate dVcHldt is the rate of change of output voltage
while the circuit is operated in the hold mode dVm/dt is a
direct function of droop current IDR and related by the equation
dVCH
IDR
- - = - x 1 03
dt
CH
where dVci/dt is expressed in p.V/ms with IDR in microamperes and C H in microfarads.

LEAKAGE (DROOP) CURRENT

INPUT RESISTANCE

The current which flows out of holding capacitor C H while
the circuit is operating in the hold mode. In general droop

The ratio of the AC change in the input current as a result of
the change in the input voltage.

SMP-81 TELECOMMUNICATIONS SAMPLE AND HOLD AMPLIFIER

VOLTAGE GAIN

The ratio of the output voltage to the input voltage with the
circuit operating in the sample mode.
ACQUISITION TIME

The minimum time for the output voltage to begin tracking
the Input voltage, to within a specified error band, after the
Inception of the sample command. By convention, acquisition time is defined for sampling of a DC level. For instance,
a circuit which is "holding" a 10V output signal, and
operating with zero input volts, is switched to the sample
mode. The acquisition time is then the time required for the
output to decrease to within a ± 10mV band about ground
potential.

cuit, slew rate must be defined with a specified value of
holding capaCitor CH. For the SMP-81, slew rate can either
be measured by operating the circuit in the sample mode
and applying a step function to the input, or by applying an
input voltage which differs from the output voltage, with the
circuit in the hold mode, then switching to the sample mode
and observing the rate of change of the output voltage.
HOLD CAPACITOR CHARGING CURRENT

The current ICH which charges, or discharges, the capaCitor
while the circuit is in the sample mode.
SAMPLE/HOLD CURRENT RATIO

The ratio of the peak charging current available to the droop
current.

APERTURE TIME

The time between the inception of the hold command and
the time the circuit output ceases tracking the input signal.
When the holding capacitor charging current is less than
O.3ma the aperture time is nominally 5Ons. The aperture time
is a function of the holding capaCitor charging current ICH.
The charging current is in turn a function of the rate of
change of the Input signal voltage. This relationship holds
true up to a maximum of 50mA which is the maximum current available from the SMP-81 to charge holding capaCitor
CH. Charging current can be calculated from the rate of
change of the input analog and the size of CH by the equa·
tion:
dv
ICH=C-(lcH= 50mA Max.)
dt

FEEDTHROUGH ATTENUATION RATIO

The change of voltage applied to the input as a ratio of the
change of voltage observed at the output, caused by the input disturbance, while the circuit is in the hold mode.
FULL POWER BANDWIDTH

The maximum frequency at which rated output voltage Eor
can be supplied without significant distortion. Full power
bandwidth Fp is related to slew rate SR by the following
equation:
F _

p-

SR
2...Eor

Using this equation, Fp of 160kHz can be computed. This is
applicable only for pulsed conditions. Power dissipation
limits Fp to 100kHz for C.W. operation.

GAIN-ERROR

Voltage difference between input and output voltage minus
the output voltage measured with input at zero volts.

OUTPUT RESISTANCE

CIRCUIT IN SAMPLE MODE

An AC change in output voltage as a result of an AC change
In load current.

HOLD STEP

POWER SUPPLY REJECTION RATIO

Magnitude of step caused in the output voltage by switching
the circuit from sample mode to hold mode.
CHARGE TRANSFER

The amount of charge transferred to the holding capaCitor
due to the action of the switch. Charge is transferred to CH
when the circuit is switched to the hold mode. Charge
transfer causes a change in output voltage AVzs as defin8cJ
by the equation:

0 1 (pC)
AV~V)=--

The change in output voltage for a change in power supply
voltage when the circuit is maintained in the sample mode.
The best power supply rejection ratio PSRR is obtained with
the power supply voltage changing at a very low rate (DC).
For essentially DC conditions PSRR for the hoid mode of
operation is essentially the same as the PSRR for the sam·
pie mode. PSRR is degraded as the frequency of the distur·
bance increases. PSRR for both sample and hold modes is
shown graphically as a function of frequency.
CHANGE IN HOLD STEP

C H (pF)

Note that for 0 1= 5pC and C H= 5000pF offset error = 1mY.
The SMP-81 has been factory nulled for CH= 5OOOpF. For
other values of CH, the zero scale shift can be calculated
from the equation:

01
CH

t:Nzs(V)=- -1mV

Actual hold step less the hold step measured after sampling
V = O. A change in hold step has two components: the first Is
a function of Input voltage; the second Is a function of the
rise time of the S/H voltage. Note that rise time of s/H
voltage also effects ZERO·SCALE-ERROR.

vi. Hold Step Change versus Vln

Sample and hold control voltage (S/H) must always be at
least 2.8V above the negative supply.

HOLD MODE SETTLING TIME

The time for all transients to settle to within a specified error
band measured from the inception of the hold command.

HOLD CAPACITOR RECOMMENDATIONS
The hold capacitor (C H) acts as a memory element and
also as a compensating capacitor for the sample and hold
amplifier. For stable operation, a minimum value of 2000pF
is recommended, with no limit set for the maximum value.
The SMP-81 is internally trimmed for CH 5000pF. Other
values of C H will cause a zero scale shift, which can be
calculated from the following equation: a CH of 5000pF has
been empirically determined to be an optimum value for
8-channel shared CODEC operation.

ZERO SCALE ERROR NULL ADJUSTMENT
During the null adjustment, the amplifier should be switched
continuously between the "sample" and "hold" mode. The
error should be adjusted to read zero when the unit is in the
"hold" mode. In this way, both offset voltage errors and
charge transfer errors are adjusted to zero.

The hold capaCitor should have very high insulation
resistance and low dielectric absorption. For temperatures
below 85·C, polystyrene capaCitors are recommended,
while teflon capacitors are recommended for higher
temperature applications.

SMP-81 LOGIC CONTROL

SIN 0 - - - - - - - - - - '

The sample/hold mode control of the SMP-81 incorporates a
unique logic input circuit, which enables direct Interlace to
all popular logic families and provides maximum noise immunity. As shown in the figure, the mode control is accomplished by steering the current (1 1) through 01 or 02,
thus providing high speed switching and a predictable logic
threshold. For TTL and DTL interface, simply ground VLC (pin
13). For CMOS, HTL and HNIL interface, the appropriate
threshold voltage, allowing for 2 diode drops for 01 and VBE
of 03, should be applied to VLc.

GUARDING AND GROUNDING LAYOUT

UJ

The use of a ground plane is strongly recommended to
minimize ground path resistances. Separate analog and
digital grounds should be used, and it is advisable to keep
these two ground systems isolated until they are tied back
to the common system ground. Digital currents should not
flow back to the system ground through the analog ground
path.

INTRODUCTION

CUSTOM PRODUCTS

Since its beginning, PMI has placed emphasis
on precision performance and high quality. At
PMI, high-reliability business is no peripheral
affair; rather it is a fundamental element in the
company's growth plan. As a result of PMI's
stress on quality and reliability, our integrated
circuits have been used in controlling, monitoring and sensing system designs in many
military and aerospace programs including
Viking, Trident, Cruise Missile, Minuteman,
Aerosat, Sparrow Missile, Harm Missile System, Spacelab, Satcom, Voyager, Roland,
Exosat, Stinger Missile, DSCS-3, TDRSS,
AMRAAN, ARIANE, ISPM, SBS, METRO-2,
TIROS-N, IUS, GBU-15, GPS, Intelsat-5, the
Delta launch vehicle, Pathfinder Radar,
Columbia Space Shuttle and many more.
Contributing to the high-reliability capabilities of PMI devices is the use of proprietary
processing techniques including triple passivation. These techniques have made it possible for PMI to develop the world's lowest
noise family of IC op-amps (OP-27/37), featured on the cover of the December 20,1980
issue of Electronic Design Magazine and have
improved the radiation resistance characteristics exhibited by many PMI products.

There is a marked trend toward increased
end-user involvement in the design of integrated circuits. Frequently, an end-user will
have the design accomplished by either inhouse engineering or by an outside custom
design facility. Manufacturing can then be
done by an outside facility. The advantages to
this system are:
1. The user gets precisely the required part.
2. The mask set is owned by the user.
3. Inherent protection of proprietary designs.
4. The user is not tied to one vendor.
S. Control over design and manufacturing
remains with the user.
Additional advantages of dealing with PMI are:
1. Absolute commitment to quality.
2. Technical assistance with mask design.
3. Wide range of available processes.
4. Non-disclosure agreements for particularly
market sensitive products.
S. MIL-M-38510 qualified fab area.
6. Nitride passivation available.

SEPARATE STAFF AND FACILITY
PMl's custom wafer fabrication group occupies a completely self-contained facility for
servicing its customers. The staff of the facility provides customers with high-quality wafer
processing, assurance of a long-term commitment to service-oriented dependable wafer
processing, and access to high-performance
processes not normally available for custom
circuits.

PROCESS TECHNOLOGY
Processes offered by PMI include:
• Linear Bipolar. The entire range of linear
processing, including FET-input op-amps, is
available.
• Transistor Transistor Logic. Aluminum and
PtSiTiW Schottky processes.
• 12 L,ISL. PMI has gained exceptional expertise through processing thousands of highquality wafers.
• Emitter Coupled Logic. PtSiTiW washed
emitter process.
• Complementary Metal-Oxlde.
Semiconductors. PMl's selective-oxideisolated, silicon-gate CMOS process can provide gate delays under 10nsec.
All of the processes mentioned above can be
enhanced with ion implanted resistors and
bases, dual layer metalization, nitride passivation, and thin film resistors. PMl's processes
are compatible with the design rules followed
by leading independent custom IC design
houses whose names can be furnished on
request.
Continuous investigation and implementation
of the latest wafer processing technologies
has helped PMI maintain a position at the
leading edge of integrated circuit development.

Thin film capabilities include AI, AISi, and
PtSiTiW metalization; silicon and nitride passivation; and CrSi reSistors (2kfl/sq.) with
positive TC's of less than 200ppm and matching to 5ppm. An in-house scanning electron
microscope (S.E.M.) routinely monitors
metalization and other processes.

PROCESS CONTROL
As has been previously mentioned, the PMI
custom wafer fabrication facility is qualified
to Military MIL-M-38510. This qualification
requires that all areas be monitored for particulate levels, all diffusion and evaporation
processes are CV plotted for contamination
control, and all in-process parameters are
recorded and retained by lot numbers. (Oxide
thicknesses on actual devices are measured
on NANOMETRIC's non-destructive thin-film
monitor.)
Electrical evaluation on dropped-in die is
recorded and retained using a LOMAC LM-80
System (engineering lots are manually
probed). All incoming materials (wafers,
chemicals, masks) are checked for compliance
to PMI standards.

DESIGN RULES
Design rules and electrical process parameter specifications may be made available for
most linear and digital processes run at PMI.

PROCESS CAPABILITY
PMl's masking operation uses negative resist,
contact printing. Emulsion working plates are
either printed from the customer's sub masters or chrome working plates are obtained
from mask vendors.
PMI uses low temperature techniques for its
epitaxial layer deposition to minimize crystal
defects. Other capabilities include Antimony
buried layer, Boron diffusion (100 to 300
ohms/sq.), ion implanted resistors and bases
(B11), with resistor values from 1000 to 2000
ohms/sq., and ion implanted BiFETand super
beta devices on PMl's Extrion DF4 200keV Ion
Implanter.

FAB PROCEDURE
PMI will evaluate a customer's mask set to
ensure its compatibility with PMl's processing capabilities; a nominal fee is charged for
this service. Following the acceptance of
PMl's quote to manufacture the desired wafers, prototype runs are begun. Delivery is
normally four to six weeks for single-layer
metalization, and six to eight weeks for duallayer metalization devices.
Wafers, both prototype and production lots,
are accepted by the customer based on

PAGE 14-4

parametric data obtained from drop-in test
dice on the wafers.
After the customer completes evaluation of
the prototype-runs, processing adjustments
are made, if required, and volume production
is initiated. On an ongoing basis, the customer receives consultation on the proper selection of a process for the customer's specific
application, electrical parameters to be expected from the process selected, parameters
for computer simulation (CAD), and assistance to maximize wafer circuit yields.
The chart shown on this page reveals the
approximate number of die that a wafer will
provide as a function of the die size. The
actual useful number of dice may be obtained
by multiplying the unyielded quantity by the
expected probed dice yield percentage.

CAPACITY
Three-inch or four-inch diameter wafers are
supplied depending on the desired volume.
Three-inch wafers are 15 ±1 mil thick; fourinch wafers are 20 ±1 mil thick.

ASSEMBLED/TESTED PARTS
Custom products are available from PMI as
wafers, die or assembled-and-tested parts.
Assembled and tested devices can be supplied in a variety of packages including 12 to 40
pin DIPs (ceramic, Cerdip, or plastic), flatpacks, TO cans, and lead less chip carriers.
The assembled parts undergo final electrical
testing and screening. If die fabrication alone
is desired, the processed wafers are electrically probed by PMI and bad die are marked
on the wafer. Test parameters or test tapes are
to be supplied by the customer.

STROBING THE DAC-OS UNDER
LOGIC CONTROL
by Bob Blair and Donn Soderquist

FEATURES

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

•

Digital inputs are treated as all zeros by increasing the
logic threshold to +6.4V.

•

Single Line Logic Control

•

Handy in Multiplying Applications

•

When more than one DAC is connected to point "A"
-party line connection - strobing is simple.

Since the PMI DAC·08 has a variable logic input threshold,
strobing the output is easily accomplished using the circuit
below. Normally, for TTL thresholds, Pin 1 (VLe) is grounded;
but if it is connected instead to a hex inverter with a pullup
resistor to +5V, all Digital inputs effectively become zeros.
All current flows in 10 ; no current flows in 10 no matter what
the digital input code may be. When the hex inverter's out·
put is low, normal TTL input logic threshold and operation is
restored.

•

Higher speed and greater simplicity when compared to
the alternative method of disabling which is accomplished by reducing V REF to zero.

Recovery when logiC inputs are enabled may be slower when DAC is on
±5V supply due to bias line saturation. This should be checked in the
actual application.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) versus frequency of
the familiar three op-amp instrumentation amplifier can be
optimized by matching the frequency responses of the input
differentially-connected pair of op amps. The circuit shown
uses one selected capacitor (to reduce the frequency response ofthe faster op amp) which is connected between an

CAPACITOR SELECTION PROCEDURE

Eight devices were tested in this connection. I mprovement to
greater than 95d6 @ 400Hz was achieved on all devices, an
improvement of 1 to 20dB over performance without the
selected capacitor.

1. Connect EIN1 to E1N2and to a 400Hz ±10V signal source.

DIGITAL NULLING OF OP05,
OP06, AND OP07
By Charles Vinn

FEATURES
•

Digitally-controlled offset nulling is achieved by imbalancing the first stage collector currents of a precision
opamp.

•

Greater than 1.5mV of offset voltage may be nulled to zero
with 5p.V resolution at 25°C.

•

This application is especially useful in microprocessorcontrolled systems where stringent error budgets exist.

•

Circuit uses the nulling terminals with a DAC-08 substituted for the conventional nulling potentiometer.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The input offset voltage of a precision op amp (OP-05 or
OP-07) may be nulled to <5p.V using the complementary

current outputs of a DAC-08 to change the ratio of collector
currents in the first stage. With Vos being defined as the
voltage which must be applied between the input terminals
to force VO UT to zero and assuming all errors to be in the first
stage, Vos may be expressed as:
kT
IC1 IS2

k = Boltzmann's constant = 1.38 x 10-23 joules/oK
T = Absolute temperature, ° K
q = Charge of an electron = 1.6 x 10-19 coulomb

I C = Collector Current
Changing the ratio IC1/lc2 over a ±3% range results in an

NEGATIVE SUPPLY LOSS PROTECTION
FOR PMI MULTIPLEXERS
By Shelby D. Givens

DESCRIPTION
Like most ICs, PMI BIFET multiplexers do strange things
when the substrate is left floating. Removal of the -15V
supply lead causes the substrate (V - ) to float up past the
potential on the GND terminal, and the substrate diode will
turn on. If the ENABLE line is held low (the multiplexer is in·
operative), nothing bad will happen. However, if the
ENABLE line is high, the above condition (V- pin positive
with respect to GND pin) could be catastrophic.

A LOW-COST, HIGH-PERFORMANCE
TRACKING AID CONVERTER

INTRODUCTION
The availability of low-cost IC D/A converters, comparators
and up/down counters makes possible construction of tracking AID converters having high performance and reliability
despite their small size and low cost. These AID converters
are suitable for a wide range of applications such as transducer and audio digitizing, infinite sample and holds, and
servo-control loops. This paper describes an 8-bit tracking
A/D converter that can be built using Precision Monolithics,
Inc., DAC-100 CC03 D/A converter, CMP-01CJ Fast Precision Comparator and 4-bit MSI up/down counters.

TYPES OF AID CONVERTERS
There are several popular styles of A/D converters (ADC)
based on using a D/ A converter in a feedback configuration.
The three most common are: ramp or count-up, tracking or
servo, and successive approximation.
Ramp types produce one conversion per each 2N clock
counts for an "N" bit converter and are suitable only for very
slowly changing analog data; additionally, the data can be
taken out only at the end of the conversion period. Successive approximation types are quite fast, requiring only "N + 1"
clock counts for conversion. They are capable of encoding
fast-moving analog signals if an external sample-and-hold
circuit is used to stop the analog data; again, the digital
output is true only at the end of the conversion period.
For many applications, tracking ADCs can provide adequate
speed while costing approximately the same as simple ramp
types. Additional advantages are that no sample-and-hold

circuit is required and that the digital data is continuously
available at the output.

BASIC OPERATION
The tracking A/D is a relatively simple system, both in concept and in practice. The basic design requires three major
elements: an up/down counter, a current output D/ A converter, and a voltage comparator (see Figure 1). The voltage at
the comparator's input will be the result of the analog input
voltage minus the DAC output sink current times RIN (Vo =
V 1N - 11 • RIN). Assuming a perfect comparator, if the output
voltage (Vo) is above ground, the comparator's output will be
low, causing the up/down counter to increase the DAC's
output sink current by one LSB. (The counter actually
counts down one count; this results from the DAC's utilization of complementary logic, I.e., an all-zero input produces
maximum DAC output current.) The comparator continues
to examine the voltage for polarity, and always drives the
counter's code in the direction which causes the output
voltage to approach zero. Once a balance is achieved, the
loop is "locked," and tracks the analog input signal so long as
the loop slew rate is not exceeded. When the loop is balanced, the converter's output is the binary-coded equivalent
of the analog input.
When encoding a DC input signal, the digital output will
"dither" or alternate between the two adjacent states which
span the theoretically correct output value. This is of little
consequence as all A/D converters have a similar error,
known as the "quantizing" error.

CURRENT OUTPUT
D/A CONVERTER

In the actual circuit design, a "type-D" flip-flop is inserted
between the comparator and the counter's up/down input.
This is to insure adequate set-uptime between the comparator'$ output change and the counter's next stage change.

the DAC-100 utilizes complementary logic. Diode clamps
insure the DAC output remains near zero despite input and
turn-on transients. Forthis 8-bit design, the two least significant digital inputs of the 10-bit DAC are not required and are
connected to +5V, thus turning them off. Diodes are also
used to insure that a positive voltage is applied to the V+ pin
(Pin 14) as soon as the +5V supply comes up; The clock,
although extremely simple, is.quite stable over a wide range
of temperatures and supply voltages. Several layouts were
tried, with no perceptible differences in performance. (See
Figure 4.)

Loop timing can be seen in Figure 2. After the positive clock
transition, the counter changes to its next state and drives
the DAC to its new output. After the DAC has settled and the
comparator has come to its final state, the next positive clock
transition loads the comparator's new state into the flip-flop
and the cycle repeats.

TRIMMING
The circuit requires only one trimming operation. The fullscale output current of the DAC is adjusted to produce
proper encoding atfull scale input. Although several schemes
are possible, the simplest is to place +10.0V at the input, and
trim the 2000 Full Scale Adjust pot to produce a low output at
the seven most significant bits with the LSB alternating
states (dithering) at the clock frequency.

The basic tracking A/D uses a "current-comparison" technique; the analog voltage is not reconstructed at the comparator's input, thus eliminating the need for an op amp to
convert the DAC-100's current output to a voltage. For applications such as infinite (no-droop) analog sample-and-hold
circuits, the OP-01 CJ, a low-cost, fast slewing, fast settling
op amp with internal compensation can be added as in Figure 5. This configuration also provides very high input impedances, without requiring an extra buffer amplifier. The
reconstructed analog voltage is available at the output of the
op amp; gating the counter "off" stores the data in analog
form.

BIPOLAR OPERATION

0.05% APPLICATIONS

Bipolar operation (±5V) can be obtained by injecting a current equal to 1/2 the full scale current into the DAC-100 sum
line. This can be accomplished by applying +6.4V to the
internal bipolar resistor of the DAC-100 (pin 1) - a 500n
symmetry-trimpot to produce a high output at all bits, with
the normal "dither" in the LSB only. Next, ground the input
and adjust the Full Scale trimpot to produce an output which
alternates between 10000000 and 01111111.

Applications requiring 10 bits of resolution with 0.05% linearity can be implemented by adding a third up/down counter
and utilizing all 10 inputs of a DAC-100ACQ3 (or Q4). See
Figure 5.

INPUT OVER-RANGE

Performance of the completed converter is quite impressive
despite the low cost and small size. Using clock rates of
3.0MHz, 10 Vp _p signals can be accurately tracked to frequencies of about 4.0kHz; higher frequencies can be accommodated by reducing the peak-to-peak amplitude.

COMPARATOR INPUT

Fully monotonic operation is obtained from 0° to 70°C; this
is achieved because the DAC-1 00CQ3 is guaranteed to have
±1/2 LSB linearity to 8 bits (0.2%) over this temperature
range, and the DAC-100ACQ3 has ±1/2 LSB linearity to 10
bits (0.05%).

consideration in the zero scale and full scale performance,
and especially so in bipolar applications. The worst case
DAC-100 zero error over O· C to 70· Cis 0.6mV; adding to this
the 3.5mV maximum Vosof the CMP-01C results in a worst
case zero scale error of 4.1mV, which is acceptably small
compared to the value of 1/2 LSB (19.5mV) forthe 8-bit AID.
Because the Vos drift of the CMP-01C is typically only
1.8/LV/oC even without offset triming, the full scale drift will
be almost entirely a function of the DAC-100CC tempco
-60ppm/oC maximum.
For 1O-bit applications, the comparator Vos becomes significant; the CMP-01 C can be nulled, or the 0.8V maximum Vos
CMP-01 E can be utilized without nulling. Nulling ofthe comparator is not required in bipolar applications; this is accomplished by the bipolar symmetry trimming.
Other performance characteristics of the completed converter are listed in Table 1.

MILITARY TEMPERATURE RANGE OPERATION
Operation over wider temperature ranges can be obtained by
simply specifying appropriate temperature range components. The simplicity of the all IC design coupled with the
compatibility with MIL-M-38510 processing assures high
reliability in military applications.

CONCLUSION
Extremely compact, low power consumption, all IC tracking
AID converters are made possible by combining Precision
Monolithics,lnc. DAC-100series 10-bit D/Aconverter, CMP01 series comparator, and commerically available MSI upl
down counters. Layout, construction and adjustment are
noncritical. The simplicity and low cost of the tracking AID
converter invites usage in many new applications, including
single channel digitizing at remote transducer locations.

APPLICATION NOTE 10
SIMPLE PRECISION MILLIVOLT
REFERENCE USES NO ZENERS
by Donn Soderquist

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
A low output impedance millivolt source is frequently required in test systems, for generating small currents with
moderate resistance values, and for general laboratory use.
An excellent millivolt source can be built using only two
parts; an Instrumentation op amp and a potentiometer. The
op amp is connected as a unity-gain buffer (Figure 1) and
the output is adjusted to the required voltage using the offset nulling terminals. The amplifier must have suitable
characteristics such as low long term drift, freedom from
chopper and "popcorn" noise, good power supply rejection
and low offset voltage drift with temperature. To achieve
low output impedance the op amp must have high gain
around zero output voltages, and should have negligible
thermal-induced drift for stable performance under varying
load conditions. Use of a high performance bipolar input op
amp such as the Precision Monolithics OP-OSCJ provides
low drift without chopper noise. With a typical initial offset
voltage of O.3mV, outputs from about -3.SmV to +3.SmV
can be achieved. Adjusting the offset of the OP-OSCJ to a
value other than zero will create a drift equal to 3.3,.V/oC per
millivolt of output setting. The circuit's low frequency noise
will be less than O.6S,.V peak-to-peak with an output impedance of less than one milliohm. Long term drift will be
much less than 3.S,.V per month and power supply rejection
is about 101'V1V01t.

A LOW-COST, EASY-TO-BUILD
SUCCESSIVE APPROXIMATION
ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER

®

By Donn Soderquist
Successive Approximation Analog-to-Digital Converters
have often been considered to be complex, expensive and
troublesome circuits to produce. This application note describes a high-speed 8-bit successive approximation ND easily constructed using only three readily available ICs. Precision Monolithics' DAC-100 Digital-to-Analog Converter,
CMP-01 Fast Precision Voltage Comparator, a Successive
Approximation Register plus a handful of discrete components complete the design. Despite the simplicity, the ND is
capable of 8-bit conversions in 6"sec, and can easily be
expanded to 1O-bit resolution operation.

FEEDBACK AID CONVERTERS
Most popular AID converters built today use a digital-toanalog converter as part of a feedback or servo loop. Th ree of
the most common types are the Ramp, Tracking, and
Successive-Approximation; these differ primarily in the type
of programming logic circuitry used to drive the DI A converter. All three types perform a comparison between the analog
input and the output of a DI A converter; the logic changes
the DI A output so that it approaches the analog input -when
they are equal, the input to the DAC is the correct digitally
encoded number (Figure 1).

Tracking AID converters use upldown counters for the programming logic; the comparator output forces the counters
to "track" the changes in the analog input. Once initial "lock"
is acquired the correct digital output is continuously available, and the converter may be capable of encoding fairly
fast-moving input signals without requiring a sample and
hold circuit. (Complete details on the construction of this
type of converter are available in Precision Monolithics
Application Note 6, "A Low-Cost, High-Performance Tracking ND Converter.")
Tracking ADCs are at their best when used to encode a
single signal with a well-behaved maximum slew rate; multiplexed or video signals have large discontinuities which
cause large errors while the tracking loop moves to acquire a
new "lock" on the signal.
Successive Approxi mation AID Converters are attractive for
their rapid conversion rates and have found wide acceptance
in video and multiplexed data systems. Recently-announced
ICs provide the three basic converter building blocks in integrated form, reducing the cost and complexity of this
approach to a figure at or below that of the ramp and tracking
types. The great advantage of the SA ADC is that complete
"N"-bit conversions can be accomplished typically in N+1
clock periods - for a 1O-bit converter this would be a speed
improvement of about 100 times over the ramp type.

LOGIC

CLOCK INPUT

An SA ADC operates by comparing the analog input to a
series of "trial" conversions; the first trial compares the input
to the value of the most significant bit (MSB) or half of full
scale. Figure 2 shows the progression of trials for a 3-bit
converter. If the input is greater than the MSB value, the MSB
is retained and the converter moves on to "trying" the next
most significant bit, or three-quarters full scale. If the input
had been less than the MSB, the logic would have turned the
MSB off before going on to the next most significant bit, or
one-quarter full scale. This "branching" continues until each
successively smaller bit has been tried, with the entire process taking "N+1" trials.

Figure 1. Basic Feedback AID Converter
The Ramp or Count-up type ADC uses up-counters for the
programming logic. A start command clears the counters
which then count up until the comparator output changes.
The user must allow 2 n clock periods to insure a complete
conversion; therefore only very slowly varying data may be
converted.

To implement the logic for the successive approximation
algorithm, a configuration similar to Figure 3 may be employed wherein a start command places a "one" in the first bit
of a shift register. This sets the first latch to "one," and turns
on the DAC's MSB. If the comparator output remains slow,
the "one" will remain in the latch; if not, the latch will be reset
to zero before the next bit trial begins. The next clock cycle
causes the shift register to place a "one" in the second bit and

the output of a fast current output OAC directly. This may be
implemented as shown in Figure 5, where the comparator
examines the polarity of (VIN - liN R1N). The "current comparison" method eliminates the need for a current-to-voltage
converting op amp which is by far the slowest element in
most 01 A converters.

a similar process continues until all bits have been tried.
After the last bit's trial, the end-of-encode output changes
state indicating the parallel data is ready to be used. A useful
feature of successive approximation conversion is that the
correctly converted data is also available in serial form; this is
handy for transmission of data on a single bus.
The complete sequence of events is demonstrated in the
timing diagram of Figure 4. Note that "negative true"logic is
shown; the OAC-100employsa complementary binary code
and the AM2502 produces a "low" output during each bit's
trial, thus producing the standard successive approximation
routine starting with the MSB trial and working towards the
LSB trial. All events are initiated during positive-going clock
transitions; the conversion process starts when the S input is
held low, which also causes the CC (Conversion Completed)
output to go high. After all bits have been tried, the last
positive clock transition returns the CC to a low state, indicating the conversion has completed.

"CURRENT" COMPARISON
The previous discussion has indicated that the function of
the comparator was to perform a comparison between the

Figure 5. "Current Comparison" AID Input

COMPLETE CIRCUIT
The schematic for the complete 8-bit AID converter is shown
in Figure 6. It is seen that the complete circuit adds very few
components to the basic three ICs of the block diagram. A
2000 potentiometer is used to adjust the full scale output and
R1 is used to inject a +1/2 LSB value current into the sum
node. This insures that adjacent code point transitions occur
at 1/2 LSB points for minimum overall error. The clamp
diodes minimize settling time and prevent large inputs from
damaging the OAC output. For an 8-bit, 10 volt system the
CMP-01CJ's maximum offset voltage is less than 1/10 LSB
and should not require nulling.

possible and is separated from digital lines; the OAC output
trace is especially short and directly connected to the comparator input and clamping diodes. Generous power supply
bypassing has been employed using both disc and electrolytic capacitors. Other layouts can be easily designed because of the extreme simplicity of this circuit.

The digital output is available in serial NRZ (non-return-tozero) format at the data output (00) shortly after each
positive-going clock transition. Serial output is especially
convenient in applications where system wiring must be
minimized. such as in one NO per channel systems. Performing the ND conversion process in close proximity to the
signal source has the advantage of reducing errors associated with transmission of low level analog signals; instead,
digitally encoded signals are transmitted with their inherent
low error rates and ease of multiplexing.

CALIBRATION

PERFORMANCE

For unipolar, 8-bit, 10 volt full scale calibration apply +9.941
volts (full scale -3/2 LSB) to the input. Adjust the gain potentiometer until the digital output is alternating between "0000
0000" and "0000 0001". This calibrates the converter at a
transition point insuring correct outputs over the analog
input range. No zero adjust is necessary due to the low
comparator input offset voltage (Vos). virtually zero output
offset of the DAC and the correct +1/2 LSB bias established
by R1.

Performance of the completed converter for 6, 7 and 8-bit
resolution applications is shown in Table 2. To assure fully
monotonic operation in 8-bit applications the DAC-100CC
grade with its maximum nonlinearity of 0.2% from 0° to 70°C
should be specified. Applications requiring 8-bit resolution
with 0.3% or less linearity may utilize the lower cost DAC10000 types.

For 8-bit, ±5 volt full scale offset binary operation, first perform the unipolar calibration as described above with the
bipolar reference removed. Next connect the +6.4 volt bipolar reference through the 500 ohm potentiometer to the bipolar input resistor. With -5.000 volts as an analog input, adjust
the 500 ohm potentiometer until the digital output is alternating between "1111 1111" and "1111 1110". For calibration at
lower bit resolutions refer to Table 1.

All D.C. static errors can be attributed to the analog components only; the comparator makes no contribution to nonlinearity, but its 25° C Vosand Vosdrift with temperature are a
consideration in the zero scale and full scale performance,
and especially so in bipolar applications. The worst case
DAC-1 00 zero error over 0° to 70° Cis 0.6mV; adding to this
the 3.5mV maximum Vos of the CMP-01 C results in a worst
case zero scale error of 4.1 mV, which is acceptably small
compared to the value of 1/2 LSB (19.5mV) forthe 8-bitA/D.

Because the Vas drift of the CMP-01 C is ty·pically only
1.8I'V/o C even without offset trimming, the full scale drift will
be almost entirely a function of the DAC-100CC tempco

creases the size of the LSB, the value of R1 and the full scale
calibration point should be changed accordingly, as shown
in Table 1. Additional speed in reduced resolution applications may be achieved by increasing the clock frequency.

REDUCED RESOLUTION APPLICATIONS
Encoding time may be reduced in applications not requiring
the full 8-bit resolution. In convert-on-command applications, the negative-going transition of the (N+1) bit may be
used as the Conversion Completed (CC) signal; the register
will continue to step through the remaining bits so the CC
level will be present for one clock period only. For continuous conversion applications, the register may be truncated
by applying a low level to the S input; however, caution must
be observed to prevent possible stalling on power-up: the S
input should be generated by either the CC or bit (N+1)
going to a low state. Figure 9 demonstrates a 6-bit, continuous-encoding application. Since reducing the resolution in-

This can be eliminated in unipolar applications by nulling the
CMP-01CJ or specifying the 0.8mV offset CMP-01EJ. No
initial Vosimprovement is required in bipolar applications, as
this error will be eliminated during the bipolar calibration
procedure. The offsetting resistor (R1) should be 15MO for
10-bit applications, with the full scale calibration voltage of
+9.985 for unipolar applications.

SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS

Figure 9B. Short-Cycled Continuous Encoding (Alternate
Method Including Clock)

10-BIT APPLICATIONS
The basic 8-bit converter may easily be expanded to 10 bits
by using a 250412-bit Successive Approximation Register; it
may be allowed to step through all 12 bits or short-cycled as
described above (Figures 9A, 9B). All DAC-100 Series devices have 1O-bit resolution; for applications requiring 10-bit
monotonic performance the DAC-100AC03 or 04 grades
with maximum nonlinearity of ±0.05% (0° to 70° C) should be
specified; for less demanding applications the ±0.1% DAC100BC03 (04) grades are recommended. Due to the 10mV
LSB size, comparator Vos can provide significant zero error.

When integrating the AID Converter into a system, consideration must be given to several factors to assure best performance. First, the analog signal to be encoded should not
change more than 1/2 LSB during the encoding process; a
sample-and-hold circuit should be used if required to hold
changes to.1/2 LSB or preferably, much less (Figure 11).
Second, proper grounding of the system is essential to prevent errors due to system noise. The preferred method is to
connect the analog signal ground and digital power ground
together at only one point, right atthe AID's connector. This
will insure that digital ground currents do not flow in the
analog ground line.

LOWER POWER CONSUMPTION
Power consumption may easily be reduced from 935mW
maximum to about 310mW with two minor design changes.
The DIA and comparator power supplies can be reduced
from ±15 volts to ±6 volts and low power TTL AM25L02PC
logic function may be specified. Digital output fanout is
reduced to three standard TTL loads. The value of R1 must
also be lowered accordingly to maintain the same +1/2 LSB
bias current to the sum node.

MILITARY TEMPERATURE RANGE OPERATION

CONCLUSION

Operation over wider temperature ranges can be obtained by
simply specifying appropriate temperature range components. The simplicity of the three IC designs coupled with the
compatibility of the devices with MIL-STD-883A processing
assures high reliability in military applications.

Extremely compact, rugged, low power consumption successive approximation AID converters are made possible by
combining three ICs: PM!'s DAC-l00 Series 10-bit D/A,
CMP-Ol comparator, and a Successive Approximation Register. This simple, low cost design opens up new applications
such as one AID per channel operation in data acquisition
systems.

TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT METHOD
BASED ON MATCHED TRANSISTOR PAIR
REQUIRES NO REFERENCE

®

By Jim Simmons and Donn Soderquist
Most remote temperature measurements are made with
thermistors or thermocouples as the sensing elements. This
article shows how the function can be accomplished by us·
ing the intrinsic properties of a well·matched monolithic
transistor pair. The method is attractive for its simplicity,
accuracy, and long·term stability. Of particular utility is the
fact the output is inherently linear and is directly useable
without special linearizing circuitry.
Thermocouples can require both linearizing circuitry and
reference junction making them difficult to apply. Linear
outputs may be achieved with composite thermistor·
resistor networks but long·term stability is diffult to predict.
Ordinary silicon diodes, when operated as temperature sen·
sors, require constant current drive and extensive calibra·
tion. The matched transistor pair method has none of these
drawbacks.

4. .1V BE =

kT loge (£)

IC2

Note that if the ratio of collector currents IC1 to IC2 is made
constant, .1V BE will be proportional to absolute temperature
alone. No absolute values of current are required because
only a stable current ratio must be maintained. For a fixed
ratio of 2 to 1 the expression is:
.1V BE
5. .1T = 5.973 x 10- 5 = 59.73,N1°K
This predictable differential base-emitter voltage relationship allows a matched transistor pair to be used as a temperature sensor. A complete temperature measuring system
can be built with a matched pair, two constant current
sources, and a differential amplifier as shown in Figure 1.

BASIC THEORY
Matched transistor pairs have predictable relationships
which make temperature measurements possible. To
develop these relationships, let us consider the fundamental properties of a single transistor. The well known relationship between collector current and base-emitter voltage for
a Single transistor is:

IS2

The values of IS1 and IS2 are a strong function of processing
and geometry variables, and are very nearly identical in a
well-matched monolithic transistor pair. As IS1 and 152 approach equality (loge 1 = 0), the second term can be
eliminated. For an ideal pair the expression becomes:

SYSTEM DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
To illustrate this concept, let us design a system to provide
accurate temperature mesurement over the range of -55 DC
to + 125°C (218 OK to 398 OK). Other goals are: ease of calibration, long-term stability, standard resistor values, and small
physical size. In addition, the system should be capable of
operation with the senSing matched pair located up to 100
feet from the current sources and differential amplifier. A
system achieving these goals is detailed below.

SENSING MATCHED PAIR
Any mismatch will cause performance to deviate from the
ideal case shown in Equation 4, the most critical parameter

PAGE 15-24

being average offset voltage drift (TCVos). This quantity,
multiplied by the largest temperature excursion (100 OK) and
the differential amplifier gain (167.4), will be the output error
and is shown in Table 1 for typical TCVos specifications.
Clearly, system accuracy is directly related to the degree of
matching of the sensing pair. A Precision Monolithics
MAT-01H with its typical TCVos of 0.15V/oC was specified in
order to minimize this error factor.

Two currents of a precise 2 to 1 ratio are provided by this
section. Several considerations make 5"A and 10"A good
choices as nominal operating currents for IC2 and IC1
respectively. Most monolithic matched transistor pairs are
specified at Ic = 10"A. Input bias currents associated with
the differential amplifier can be ignored because 5"A is
three orders of magnitude larger. Resistor values are small
enough to keep physical size and cost reasonable. Finally,
the quiescent currents do not develop significant voltage
drops in 100 feet of ordinary shielded-pair cable.
The two most important current source transistor matching
characteristics required are hFE and Vos long-term stability,
assuming that this part of the circuit is not subjected to
wide temperature variations. If the system is to have good
power supply and ripple rejection, the hFE match must be
maintained over a range of operating currents. These
characteristics will insure a constant 2 to 1 ratio of IC1 to IC2
is maintained.
With the circuit as shown in Figure 2, the total system has
measured power supply rejection of 1°Klvolt. Once
calibrated, long-term changes in Vos will change the current
ratio, and, in turn, the output. A Precision Monlithics MAT01GH ws selected for Q2 because it has the desired combination of specified long-term stability (0.2!,V/month) and
close hFE matching, typically 1 %.

Figure 3. Differential Amplifier Design
The two op-amp differential amplifier configuration is widely used wherever high input impedance and fixed gain are
required. This amplifier uses a dual matched instrumentation operational amplifier designed and specified for differential applications, the Precision Monolithics OP-01CY.

GENERAL DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Assuming ideal amplifiers, the expression for output
voltage is:

DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIER
The sensing pair and constant current sources provide a differential voltage (t.v BE ) which is directly proportional to absolute temperature. The amplifier must acquire this voltage
difference in the presence of common mode voltages,
amplify it by 167.4, and change it from a differential to a
single-ended signal. Excellent performance is obtained using the circuit of Figure 3.

Resistor selections can be avoided by using readily
available 0.01 % tolerance precision resistors, resulting In a
worst-case ratio match of 0.04%. This ratio match, a combination with the dual op amp's performance, results in
greater than 100dB common mode rejection at the
amplifier's input.

Therefore, the ideal overall system output expression is:

COMMON MODE REJECTION

Long term stability of the resistors must approach the initial
ratio match or degradation of common mode rejection can
occur over time. The resistors chosen are specified at
±50ppm/3 years and ±5ppm/oC thereby assuring stability
versus time and temperature.

At 25°C (298°K), .:lVBE Is 17.8mV while the individual sens·
ing pair base·emitter voltages are about 520mV. There is a
need to reject the 520mV common mode input voltage while
accurately amplifying the differential input voltage, .:lV BE • At
-55°C (218°K), the situation becomes more difficult with
.:lVBe of 13mV and 396mV of common mode voltage. KeepIng in mind that this Is a best case disregarding any extraneous cable pickup, it can be observed that the requirement for high common mode rejection Is very real.

DIFFERENTIAL OFFSET VOLTAGE
The amplifier'S differential input offset voltage (EOS1
EOS2) will be the major error factor. If the individual input off·
set voltages are of equal magnitude and polarity they appear as a common mode input and are rejected. The op10CY provides the additional convenience that only a single

Because the dual op amp has a specified 117dB common
mode rejection ratio match, the ability to reject common
mode inputs becomes primarily a function of resistor ratio
matching. This device eliminates the need for special op

offset adjustment Is necessary to provide the required AVos
match; this adjustment at the same time provides a
minimum TCAVos of the differential amplifier.

INSTALLATION
Ordinary shielded pair cable, with #22 or larger conductors,
is satisfactory for most remote temperature measuring applications. Good thermal conductivity from the sensing
pair's case to the environment being measured is essential
to avoid incorrect readings. When this circuit is used for
temperature control, thermally·conductive epoxy works
especially well in attaching the sensing pair to the device
being controlled.

CONCLUSIONS
Accurate temperature measurement and control syserns are
easily and economically buill using the predictable
characteristics of modern monolithic matched transistor
pairs. This method offers long-term stability, excellent
linearity, simple calibration, and high performance in severe
environments.

CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
This is an easy two·step procedure. First, short the differential amplifier inputs and adjust the offset potentiometer until the output reads zero volts. Remove the input short. Second, with the senSing pair at a known temperature (room
temperature is suitable), adjust the ratio potentiometer for a
correct differential amplifier output reading. Having the
capability of room temperature calibration makes this cir·
cuit much more convenient to calibrate than other types.

APPLICATION NOTE 13
THE OP-07 ULTRA-LOW OFFSET
VOLTAGE OP AMP A BIPOLAR OP AMP THAT
CHALLENGES CHOPPERS,
ELIMINATES NULLING
By Donn Soderquist and George Erdi

The OP-07, a new bipolar-input monolithic operational
amplifier, provides chopper-stabilized amplifier performance
at bipolar prices. Input offset voltage, the major error contribution in most designs, is reduced to a maximum of 2Sp,V by
a new computer-controlled on-chip trimming technique.
Such low Vos eliminates the nulling potentiometer requirement of most op amp circuits, greatly reducing system complexity while improving reliability. A description of this
amplifier's design and performance is given, followed by an
applications section showing how superior input specifications can simplify high-accuracy analog design.

IMPORTANCE OF LOW INPUT OFFSET VOLTAGE
In many applications, the initial input offset voltage of operational amplifiers causes more inaccuracy than all other error
factors combined. The other significant error parameters,
such as bias and offset currents, open-loop gain, and common mode rejection, have come closer to theoretically ideal
performance than has Vos. Forthis reason, most operational
amplifiers, monolithic and modular, are provided with terminals to allow the user to adjust this offset voltage to zero - a
costly and potentially unreliable procedure, which in many
cases degrades performance of TCVos. Monolithic op amp
manufacturers have constantly strived for improvement in
Vos from p,A709 and p,A741 at SOOOp,V, to the p,A72S at
1000p,V in 1969, tothe OP-OSA at 1S0p,V in 1972. TheOP-07A
at 2Sp,V maximum Vos is a significant milestone in monolithic
bipolar operational amplifier design.
Temperature stability is also important since the benefits of
low initial Vas are quickly lost If a small change in operating
temperature causes substantial Vos drift. Good long-term
Vos stability is required to avoid periodic re-calibrations and
degradation of system performance over time. Until now,
chopper-stabilized or externally-nulled monolithic op amps
have been the usual choices despite the disadvantages of
high noise and/or external components. The OP-07 design
achieves the desired combination of low Vos, low TCVos,
long-term Vos stability, low bias current, and low noise. It
provides performance comparable to chopper-stabilized
amplifiers with the further advantages of freedom from
chopper-frequency noise and external component requirements.

LOW Vos AMPLIFIERS
Some of the more common methods for optimizing Vos performance have been chopper-stabilized amplifiers, bipolar
amplifiers nulled to zero initial Vas, and combinational

amplifiers constructed with a matched transistor pair followed by a standard bipolar op amp. Each approach to the
Vosproblem isa compromise between allowable error, reliability and price. The purpose of this discussion is to show
how the OP-07 provides superior performance, higher reliability, and reduced size at a lower overall cost.

CHOPPER-STABILIZED AMPLIFIERS
In the past, designers have been forced to use chopperstabilized amplifiers in applications requiring less than
100p,V initial Vos. The OP-07 is a cost-effective alternative,
providing chopper-type performance with 741 ease-ofapplication. Use of a bipolar input op amp eliminates the
usual chopper problems of high noise, large physical size,
and limited common-mode input voltage range.
Low initial offset voltage specifications lose their significance if noise and long-term drift are of the same magnitude.
Although the monolithic choppers have lower average input
bias currents, the chopping action produces very large
spikes in the input currents and prevents their use with large
or unbalanced source resistors. For this reason, most chopper
manufacturers carefully avoid specifying noise currents
above 10Hz. The input bias current, remains below 4nA over
the full military temperature range, and being free from
chopper spikes, enables use in high impedance circuitry.
Another chopper-related problem is that input signals often
interact with chopping frequency components and their
harmonics. This interaction can cause errors due to intermodulation, producing slowly varying offset voltages usually below 20Hz. Chopper frequency switching transients
can also cause electromagnetic interference frequently requiring special shielding and input guarding methods to
protect adjacent circuitry. Modular choppers can have input
overload recovery times as high as five seconds and require
up to ten external components to effectively eliminate this
problem. Monolithic choppers require expensive, large external components, such as two 0.1 p,F teflon dielectric
capacitors, for wide temperature range operation. These
problems are eliminated by the OP-07.

NULLED BIPOLAR AMPLIFIERS
The major disadvantage of most high performance bipolar
op amps is that their high initial Vas must be adjusted to zero
with a nulling potentiometer or trimming resistors. In certain
amplifiers, this is also a requirement in order to optimize
TCV as performance. Selected or adjusted components re-

quire special test labor, take up much-needed space, decrease reliability, and add to system complexity. "Maintainability" is poor - field replacements or renulling due to longterm Vos and resistance changes must be performed by a
skilled technician with sophisticated test equipment. Use of
an internally-nulled OP-07 avoids all of these problems since
it is a complete, fully-interchangeable device, and does not
require zeroing to optimize TeVos.

COMBINATIONAL AMPLIFIERS
This is one of the oldest methods, usually implemented with
a heated-substrate matched transistor pair in a differentialinput gain stage followed by a conventional op amp. This
method requires four precision resistors, a nulling potentiometer, external frequency compensation, and up to 360mW
of heater power. TeVos is only about 2p.VloC despite the
temperature control for the input pair. The OP-07 provides
improved performance in all parameters as well as lower
cost, elimination of calibration labor, lower noise and a tremendous reduction in total power consumption.

The symmetry of the Input stage allows examination of only
one side to demonstrate bias current cancellation. Base
drive for the input transistor, Q1, is provided by Q5 and the
external circuitry; the difference between Q5's collector current and Q1's base current being the input bias current. Q1
and Q3 are h FE-matched transistors operating at similar collector currents and, therefore, the base current of Q1 is
approximately equal to the base current of Q3. Q3's base
current is supplied by Q7, a diode-connected PNPtransistor
closely matched to Q5. Together Q5 and Q7 form a current
mirror (turnaround) and the collector current of Q5 will equal
the base current of Q3. In this manner almost all base current
for Q1 is provided by Q5 and precise bias current cancellation is achieved. Careful design has enabled this cancellation to be effective over a wide temperature range. (Figure 2.)

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The three-stage design concept of previous Precision Monolithics' instrumentation quality op amps was retained for the
OP-07 because, using this deSign, nulling of Vossimultaneously optimizes TeVos. (This relationship is not the case for
the more commonly used two-stage "741 "-type amplifier.)
There are additional advantages of high gain,low noise, and
predictable long-term stability. Low input bias current is
achieved by bias current cancellation; I.e., currents are generated equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the
base currents of the input transistors Q1 and Q2 in the simplified schematic of Figure 1.

FOLLOWING STAGES

To achieve lowest initial Vos. TeVos and noise, a simple
differential input pair, Q1 and Q2, was chosen. Vos nulling
resistors R2A and R2B are electronically adjusted and will be
covered separately in the trimming discussion. R3 and R4, in
conjunction with Q21-Q24, provide input differential overvoltage protection.

The first stage output is buffered by emitter followers Q9 and
Q10, and applied to a high-gain differential stage, Q11 and
Q12. Its output, the junction of Q12, Q14, Q15, and R5, drives
a short-circuit-protected complementary emitter follower
power output stage.

COMPENSATION
Frequency compensation of the OP-07 is accompished
using three capacitors. Feedforward capacitor C3 bypasses
the second stage lateral pnp's at high frequencies and, therefore, the excessive phase-shift normally associated with
these transistors is circumvented. The dominant pole of the
amplifier is set by C 2which feed back around the second and
driver stages and rolls off the open loop response at 20dB
decade. The presence of C 1ensures that the high frequency
signal path is single-ended by rolling off the response of one
side of the input stage. The total internal capacitance on the
100 X 53 mil chip is 21 OpF, a remarkable amount for a monolithic device.

LAYOUT
The circuit layout has thermal symmetry, a concept which
has been used quite extensively on precision amplifier
designs since its inception in 1969. 1 Variations in power
dissipation in the driver and output stages, and the resultant
thermal gradients affect the critical input transistors identically, thereby preventing offset voltage changes at the input.

With an error free second stage it may be assumed that the
input transistor collectors are equal in potential.

To understand the nulling technique some fundamental relationships should be examined using the equivalent circuit of
Figure 3. (Errors caused by the second stage are effectively
divided by the first stage gain and will be neglected in this
discussion.) Vos is defined as the voltage which must be
applied between the input terminals to obtain zero voltage at
the amplifier's output. Referring to Figure 3:

Where:
k = Boltzmann's constant = 1.38 X 10-23 joulesl o K
T = Absolute temperature, 0 K
q = Charge of an electron = 1.6 X 10- 19 coulomb

Through this technique, Vosof the entire "raw" OP-07 distribution can be nulled to less than 150/-,V, with the majority

of 25/-,V.

sing-related differences in 151 and Is2 which cause Vbedifferentials may be cancelled. Earlier amplifier designs achieved
the adjustment of collector resistance by an external nulling
potentiometer between Pin 1 and Pin 8 with its wiper connected to Pin 7 (Figure 1).
In the OP-07, permanent nulling is accomplished by shorting
out a small percentage of RRor RLas determined by a computer programmed with Equation 6 and a lookup table. This
is done by reading Vos before trimming, comparing its magnitude and polarity with a lookup table value, and shorting
out one of the normally nonconducting zener diodes. The
short is created by passing a high current pulse through the
selected zener, fusing its metal contacts into the silicon as
shown in Figure 4. High volume production is achiAved
through automation, with initial device testing at wafer probe
including Vos trimming requiring less than one second.

Figure 6B. Low Frequency Noise Test Circuit

The first month stabaility, defined as changes in Vos from
one hour to 30 days, is typically 2.5p.V. Even with closely
maintained equipment, individual measurements with time
can suffer from inaccuracies on the order ofa half-microvolt
due to low frequency noise and slight temperature variations. Fortunately, over a large number of measurements
these errors tend to integrate out, and an accurate trend line
can be defined.
Thetrend line is defined as the drift per month averaged over
the month one to month twelve period, and is generally an
order of magnitude better than the first month drift (Figure
56). Over 1.7 million device hours of testing and characterization have been logged in order to accurately specify longterm Vosstability. Results indicate an average trend line drift
of O.2p.V/month-outstanding stability performance for any
amplifier, regardless of its technological approach.

LONG-TERM Vos TESTING CONDITIONS
The deceptively simple circuit of Figure 8 is used for longterm Vos stability testing. Three absolutely essential conditions must exist for accurate measurements: still air, power
supply accuracy, and long-term temperature control

LONG-TERM Vos DRIFT

>--_-ovo

Input offset voltage drift over time has three components:
warmup drift, first month drift, and trend line stability.
Warmup drift is a change in Vos occurring in the first few
minutes of operation. In order to produce high volumes of
OP-07s, Vos is measured 0.5 seconds after application of

the regulated output. Accuracy is primarily determined by
three factors: the 5ppm/o C temperature coefficient of 01,
1ppm/o C ratio tracking of R2 and R3, and operational amplifier Vas errors.

All components, including sockets and solder joints, are
enclosed in a metal box to eliminate air movement and
temperature gradients. Thermoelectric error voltages may
be generated if the dissimilar metal junctions formed by
solder joints and socket contacts are at different temperatures. This effect is minimized by using "low thermal" solder
(70% Cadmium, 30% Tin) and nonmetallic flux, such as Kester #1544, to avoid ionic contamination.

Vas errors, amplified by 1.6 (Aved, appear at the output and
can be significant with most monolithic amplifiers. For
example: an ordinary amplifier with TCVas of 51'Vlo C contributes 0.8ppml" C of output error while the OP-07 at
0.31'VloC (0.5ppm/oC) effectively eliminates TCVas as an
error consideration.

Although the power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) of the
OP-07 is extremely high, nevertheless it should be considered asa potential error factor in long-term Vas testing. The
power supplies are verified to be at ±10mV before each set of
weekly readings. This removes any possible significant
errors due to the PSRR specification of 110dB (3I'VIV01t).

Perhaps the most easily overlooked accuracy requirement in
this and many other critical circuits is long-term Vas stabil ity.
In this circuit, a 741 drifting at 100l'Vlmo would cause
200ppm/year of output drift - a very large amount. This type
of problem is particularly troublesome in potted subassemblies where periodic recalibration is impossible. Use of the
OP-07 at 11'Vlmo maximum avoids this potentialiy troublesome condition.

All long-term Vastesting is performed in a controlled laboratory environment of 30·C to eliminate TCVas, 0.2I'VI·C, as
an error possibility.

HIGH STABILITY VOLTAGE REFERENCE
The simple bootstrapped voltage reference of Figure 9 provides a precise 10 volts virtually independent of changes in
power supply voltage, ambient temperature, and output
loading. Correct zener operating current of exactly 2mA is
maintained by R1, a selected 5ppm/o C resistor, connected to

Unity gain large-signal buffers are one of the most common
applications of operational amplifiers. The low Vas and high
CMRR of the OP-07 provide high accuracy, and small physical size is achieved due to the complete absence of external
components. Performance over the appropriate temperature
range is shown for the various OP-07 selections. Note that
the errors on Table 4 are absolute worst-case numbers, a
combination that would be extremely unlikely in actual practice. A figure closer to expected overall performance based
on the RMS sum of typical errors is also included. Typical

Another OP-07 is used in the dfference amplifier for high
common mode rejection and Vos stability. This op amp is
well-suited for critical test system circuits, providing accurate measurements, high reliability, and calibration-free
operation.

CALIBRATION-FREE DAC SYSTEM
The circuit of Figure 11 is part of an automated test system
used for measuring 6-bit to 10-bit OAC nonlinearity at each
possible digital input code combination. It detects the largest difference between a 14-bit linear reference OAC and a
unit under test, and generates an output voltage that is
directly proportional to nonlinearity as a percentage of full
scale.
Reference OACs are frequently supplied having currentoutput only, with selection of a summing amplifier left up to
the user. Summing amplifier characteristics must not cause
degradation of reference OAC linearity, full-scale, or zero
scale performance or erroneous testing could occur. In addition, Vos errors are direct zero scale output errors, so both
long-term Vosstability and drift overtemperature are important. Using a OP-07, total EREFerrors due to op amp performance are estimated at less than 100/LVorO.2 LSB on a 14-bit
base, permanently eliminating zero calibration while maintaining test system accuracy. Summing amplifier applications requiring higher speed should use the composite

COMPOSITE SUMMING AND AMPLIFIER WITH
HIGH SLEW RATE AND LOW Vos
The circuit configuration of Figure 12 is a method for obtaining a 18V1/Ls slew rate with OP-07 Voscharacteristics. Vosof
A2 (3mV) is continuously nulled by forcing the sum node to
equal Vos of Al through a secondary feedback loop formed
by Rl, R2, A2's input stage, and R3. An error due to I Biasof A2
limits practical values of feedback resistances to a maximum
of 5kO in most applications; a fast FET input op amp could be
used as A2 to reduce the circuit's bias current to approximately 2nA. The circuit is also good as a current-output OAC
summing amplifier because zero scale offset adjustments
are not required and high speed is preserved. Composite
connections such as this are generally quite cost-effective
compared to Single op amps having both high slew rate and
good Vos specifications.

ABSOLUTE VALUE CIRCUIT WITH MINIMUM ERROR
This circuit provides precise full-wave rectification by inverting negative-polarity input voltages and operating as a unitygain buffer for positive-polarity inputs. It is useful for conditioning inputs to unipolar A to D's, positive peak detectors,
Single quadrant multipliers, and magnitude-only measurement systems. A polarity indication for sign plus magnitude
applications is present at the output of A 1.
For·a positive input, the circuit operates as two stages of
inverting unity-gain amplification. As the input goes positive,
the output of Al becomes negative, turning 02 off and 01 on,
placing the junction of R3 and R4 at -E 1N • VA is at zero volts
because 02 is off and only insignificant A2 bias current flows
in R2. A2 operates as a second inverting unity-gain stage and
Eo equals E 1N •
For negative inputs, the first stage gain to point VA is -2/3
because 02 is on, 01 is off, and 1/3 of the input current,
E 1N/Rl, flows in R3 and R4. Thesecond stage is operated in a

PAGE 15-36

non-inverting gain of 1.S configuration with VA as its input,
giving an over-all circuit gain of -1.
Using conventional op amps, input offset voltage is usually
the predominent error factor because it is doubled and
added to E 1N. For example, with EIN of 100mV, only O.SmV of
Vos will cause 1% output error. Clearly, A1 and A2 must be
low Vosop amps to achieve high accuracy over the full input
voltage range. By using a OP-07, performance is mainly a
function of resistor ratio matching and diode leakages. Gain
errors due to resistor matching will typically be less than
0.3% when R2-R4 are within 0.01% of R1 's value. Low leakage
diodes should be used to prevent errors from reverse current
flow in R2 or R3 which would appear as Vos error of A2.

Single-stage maximum full scale errors contributed by the
op amp range from 0.001% for a OP-07A to 0.004% for a
OP-07C. This makes resistor-related errors of ratio matching
and temperature tracking the major accuracy considerations. Instrumentation quality operational amplifiers with
ultra-low Vos allow simple construction of high performance
summing and differencing amplifiers.

The amplifier achieves about 100dB of common mode voltage rejection over a full ±13 volt range when the ratios of

are usually around 1k!1, a value large in respect to line resistance but small enough to make voltage drops from input bias
currents negligible. Input voltages and Vos are both amplified by 200 so Vos changes, either long-term or due to
temperature, can cause direct output error. For example,
with a sjJ.vrc thermocouple, the OP-07A holds this error
factor to O.OSo C/year and 1 ° C for an amplifier operating
temperature range of 100° C (-2S0 C to + 7So C) - a typical

CONCLUSIONS
The OP-07 Ultra-Low Offset Voltage Operational Amplifier is
a cost-effective monolithic alternative to the chopperstabilized amplifier and is suitable for a wide variety of critical applications. An internal trimming procedure achieves
significant improvements over previous bipolar designs in
offset voltage, noise levels, and long-term stability at a moderate cost. For the firsttime, a complete precision IC op amp

INTERFACING PRECISION MONOLITHIC'S
DIGITAL· TO·ANALOG CONVERTERS
WITH CMOS LOGIC
By Donn Soderquist

The rise in popularity of CMOS logic has created a demand
for digital-to-analog converters with CMOS-compatible logic
inputs_ PMI DACs allow simple CMOS interfacing in most
applications. Since interfacing is easily achieved, the proven advantages of low-cost and high speed are available to
both TTL and CMOS system designers. This application
note discusses interfacing methods and rules for both
voltage and current output types and describes several
typical CMOS system applications.

INTERFACING THE DAC-08l20
The DAC-OB design incorporates a unique logic input circuit
which enables direct interface to all popular families and
provides maximum noise immunity. This feature is made
possible by the large input swing capability, 2p.A logic input
current and completely adjustable logic threshold voltage.
ForV- = -15V, the logic inputs may swing between -10V
and +1BV. This enables direct Interface with +15V CMOS
logic, even when the DAC-OB is powered from a +5V supply.
Minimum input logic swing and minimum logic threshold
voltage are given by: V- plus (lAEF • 1kO) plus 2.5V. The
logic threshold may be adjusted over a wide range by placing an appropriate voltage at the logic control pin (Pin 1,
VLcl. It should be noted that Pin 1 will source approximately
100p.A; external circuitry should be designed to accommodate this current.

INTERFACING THE DAC-76/86/87/88189
These companding D/A converters are similar to the DAC-OB
in that the input logic threshold is two diode drops positive
with respect to the logic control pin. However, more current
flows into the logic control pin requiring active current
sourcing as shown below.
VLC (Pin 10) is placed as a potential which is 1.4V below the
desired logic input switching threshold. However, this
voltage source must be capable of sourcing and sinking a
changing current at Pin 10. The negative voltage at the logic
inputs must be limited to +10V with respect to V- (Pin 13).

Five complete voltage output monolithic DACs are described in this section: the DAC-02I5 and DAC-03, 10-bit plus

coded converters. These DACs are well-suited to use in

These DACs have logiC input stages which require about

volts and. V+ less 0.7 volt This wide input voltage range
allows direct CMOS interfacing in many applications, the
exception being where the CMOS logic and D/A converter
must use the same power supply.
In this special case, the diode should be placed in series
with the CMOS driving device's Voo lead as shown in Figure
3. The diode limits Voo to V + less 0.7 volt - since the output from the CMOS device cannot exceed this value, the
DAC's maximum input voltage rule is satisfied. Summarizing: in all applications, these high-speed DACs require
either no interfacing components, or, at most, a single inexpensive diode for full CMOS compatibility.

Using this relationship, it can be seen that a conservative input voltage limit would be around 6.5 volts. When the 6.5V
input limited is observed, DAC-100 operation with CMOS inputs is easily achieved as demonstrated in the following applications section.

INTERFACING THE DAC·100 AND DAC·01
The DAC·100, a complete 10-bit monolithic fast current output DAC is available in a wide range of electrical grades and
packages. This device requires only about 1pA of input current into each logic stage. Similar logic input stages are
used In the DAC-01, a complete voltage output 6-bit DAC.
One rule must be observed when interfacing these DACs
with CMOS inputs: logiC input voltages should not exceed
6.5 volts or V + , whichever is smaller. To provide an understanding of this rule, it is necessary to discuss the logic input stage design.

This is the most convenient method of interfacing a
DAC-100 with CMOS logic. At ±6 volts, DAC-100 power
dissipation is only 80mW, which is very small considering
the inclusion of a complete internal reference. No interfacing components are required with ±5% power supplies,
and the CMOS logic and DAC-100 can use the same +6 volt
power supply. In this application the device is directly
CMOS compatible.

DAC·100 LOGIC INPUT STAGE DESIGN

The block diagram in Figure 5 illustrates a convenient
method for interfacing CMOS input levels between 6.5 volts
and 15 volts with a DAC-100. Inexpensive and readily available CMOS hex buffer/converters step down the high-level
inputs to TIL levels that cannot exceed 5 volts - clearly
satisfying the input stage voltage rule.

HIGH LEVEL CMOS INTERFACING
For simplicity, only one of the ten identical input circuits is
shown in Figure 4. The DAC-100 uses a fast current-steering
technique that switches a bit-weighted current between the
positive supply (V +) and the analog output, which is usually
constrained to be at zero volts (virtual ground) by an external
summing amplifier.
Switching is accomplished by forward biasing Q4, a diodeconnected transistor, for the bit "ON" condition and back

In addition to level shifting, buffer/converters provide input
coding flexibility since they are available as inverting
(CD4049A) or noninverting (CD4050A) devices. This gives the

PAGE 15-40

Since buffer/converter power consumption is very low, the
required + 5 volts can be provided by a simple regulator or
even a resistive divider in some applications. In a multi·DAC
system, one central, inexpensive 3-terminal IC regulator can
supply several level shifting devices. Next, we will examine
a complete circuit using all of these concepts in a high·
speed CMOS compatible DAC.

COMPLETE CMOS COMPATIBLE DAC
The complete, 10·bit, voltage output DAC in Figure 6 has
CMOS input compatibility, high speed, and low·cost. Cur·
rent output from the DAC·10 is accurately converted to a
voltage by the Precision Monolithics OP'()1, a high speed op
amp which has been specifically designed for the DAC summing amplifier application. Input offset voltage of this op
amp is typically 2mV, eliminating the requirement for zero
scale adjustment.

MINIMIZATION OF NOISE IN OPERATIONAL
AMPLIFIER APPLICATIONS

®

by Donn Soderquist

INTRODUCTION

can be found at a definite frequency. Noise effects from external sources must be reduced to insignificant levels to
realize the full performance available from a low noise op
amp.

Since operational amplifier specifications such as Input
Offset Voltage and Input Bias Current have improved
tremendously in the past few years, noise is becoming an increasingly important error consideration. To take advantage
of today's high performance op amps, an understanding of
the noise mechanisms affecting op amps is required. This
paper examines noise contributions, both internal and external to an op amp, and provides practical methods for
minimizing their effects.

EXTERNAL NOISE SOURCES
Since noise is a composite Signal, the individual sources
must be identified to minimize their effects. For example,
60Hz power line pickup is a common interference noise appearing at an op amp's output as a 16ms sine wave. In this
and most other situations, the basic tool for external noise
source frequency characterization is the oscilloscope
sweep rate setting. Recognizing the oscilloscope's potential in this area, Tektronix@ manufactures several preamplifiers with variable bandwidth and frequency which allow
quick noise source frequency identification. Another basic
identification tool is the simple low pass filter as shown in
Figure 2, where the bandpass is calculated by:

BASIC NOISE PROPERTIES
Noise, for purposes of this discussion, is defined as any
signal appearing in an op amp's output that could not have
been predicted by DC and AC input error analysis. Noise
can be random or repetitive, internally or externally
generated, current or voltage type, narrowband or wideband,
high frequency or low frequency; whatever its nature, it can
be minimized.
The first step in minimizing noise is source identification in
terms of bandwidth and location in the frequency spectrum;
some of the more common sou res are shown in Figure 1, an
11-decade frequency spectrum chart. Some preliminary
observations can be made: noise is present from DC to VHF
from sources which may be identified in terms of bandwidth
and frequency. Noise source bandwidths overlap, making
noise a composite quantity at any given frequency. Most externally caused noise is repetitive rather than random and

With such a filter, measurement bandpass can be changed
from 10Hz to 100kHz (C=4.7"F to 470pF), attenuating
higher frequency components while passing frequencies of
interest. Once identified, noise from an external source may
be minimized by the methods outlined in Table 1 - the external noise source chart.

POWER SUPPLY RIPPLE
Power supply ripple at 120Hz is not usually thought of as a
noise, but it should be. In an actual op amp application, it is
quite possible to have a 120Hz noise component that is
equal in magnitude to all other noise sources combined,
and, for this reason, it deserves a special discussion.
To be negligible, 120Hz ripple noise should be between 10nV
and 100nV referred to the input of an op amp_ Achieving
these low levels requires consideration of three factors: the
op amp's 120Hz power supply rejection ratio (PSRR), the
regulator's ripple rejection ratio, and finally, the regulator's
input capacitor size_
PSRR at 120Hz for a given op amp may be found in the
manufacturer's data sheet curves of PSRR versus frequency
as shown in Figure 3_ For the amplifier shown, 120Hz PSRR
is about 74dB, and to attain a goal of 100nV referred to the
input, ripple at the power terminals must be less than
0_5mV. Today's Ie regulators provide about 60dB of ripple

Figure 3_ PSRR vs Frequency (OP-07, OP·07C)
rejection; in this case the regulator input capacitor must be
made large enough to limit input ripple to 0.5V.
Externally-compensated low noise op amps can provide improved 120Hz PSRR in high closed-loop gain configurations.
The PSRR versus frequency curves of such an op amp are
shown in Figure 4. When compensated for a closed-loop
gain of 1000, 120Hz PSRR is 115dB. PSRR is still excellent at
much higher frequencies allowing low ripple-noise operation in exceptionally severe environments.

POWER SUPPLY DECOUPLING
Usually, 120Hz ripple is not the only power supply associated noise. Series regulator outputs typically contain at

OP AMP NOISE SPECIFICATIONS
Most completely specified low noise op amp data sheets
specify current and voltage noises in a 1Hz bandwidth and
low frequency noise over a range of O.1Hz to 10Hz. To
minimize total noise, a knowledge of the deviation of these
specifications is useful. In this section, the reader is pro·
vided with an explanation of basic op amp·associated ran·
dom noise mechanisms and introduced to a simplified
method for calculating total input·referred noise in typical
applications.

least 150,N of noise in the 100Hz to 10kHz range; switching
types contain even more. Unpredictable amounts of induced
noise can also be present on power leads from many
sources. Since high frequency PSRR decreases at 20dBI
decade, these higher frequency supply noise components
must not be allowed to reach the op amp's power terminals.
RC decoupling, as shown in Figure 5, will adequately filter
most wideband noise. Some caution must be exercised with
this type of decoupling, as load current changes will
modulate the voltage at the op amp's supply pins.

v+

Op amp·assoclated noise currents and voltages are ran·
dom. They are aperiodic and uncorrelated to each other and
have Gaussian amplitude distributions, the highest noise
amplitudes having the lowest probability. Gaussian ampli·
tude distribution allows random noises to be expressed as
rms quantities; multiplying a Gaussian rms quantity by six
results in a peak·to·peak value that will not be exceeded
99.73% of the time (this is a handy rule·of·thumb for noise
calculations).
The two basic types of op amp·associated noises are white
noise and flicker noise (lIf). White noise contains equal
amounts of power in each Hertz of bandwidth. Flicker noise
is different in that it contains equal amounts of power in
each decade of bandwidth. This is best illustrated by spec·
tral noise density plots such as in Figures 6 and 7. Above a
certain corner frequency, white noise dominates; below that
frequency flicker (1/f) noise is dominant. Low noise corner
frequencies distinquish low noise op amps from general
purpose devices.
SPECTRAL NOISE DENSITY
To utilize Figures 6 and 7, let us consider the definition of
spectral noise density: the square root of the rate of change
of mean·square noise voltage (or current) with frequency
(Equation 2).

POWER SUPPLY REGULATION
Any change in power supply voltage will have a resultant ef·
fect referred to an op amp's inputs. For the op amp of Figure
3, PSRR at DC is 110dB (3p.VN) which may be considered as
a potential low frequency noise source. Power supplies for
low noise op amp applications should, therefore, be both
low in ripple and well·regulated. Inadequate supply regula·
tion is often mistaken to be low frequency op amp noise.
When noise from external sources has been effectively
minimized, further improvements in low noise performance
are obtained by specifying the right op amp and through
careful selection and application of the associated com·
ponents.

Conversely, the rms noise value within a given frequency
band is the square root of the definite integral of the spec·
tral noise density over that frequency band (Equation 3).
This means that three things must be known to evaluate
total voltage noise (En) or current noise (In): f H; fl' and a
knowledge of noise behavior over frequency.

In the spectral density discussion, the concepts of white
noise and flicker noise were introduced. In Figure 8, the
complete input-referred op amp noise model, internal white
and flicker noise sources are combined into three
equivalent input noise generators, EN, INl and IN2. The noise
current generators produce noise voltage drops across their
respective source resistors, RSl and RS2. The source
resistors themselves generate thermal noise voltages, En,
and E12. Total rms input·referred voltage noise, over a given
bandwidth, is the square root of the sum of the squares of
the five noise voltage sources over that bandwidth.

White noise sources are defined to have a noise content

FLICKER NOISE
Since flicker noise content Is equal in each decade of band·
width, total flicker noise may be calculated if noise In one
decade is known. The 0.1 Hz to 1Hz decade noise content (K)
Is widely used for this purpose because the white noise con·
tribution below 10Hz Is usually negligible.

Minimization of total noise requires an understanding of the

the white noise mechanisms, thermal and shot, are dis·
cussed, followed by the low frequency noise mechanisms,
flicker and popcorn.
THERMAL NOISE
Thermal (Johnson) noise is a white noise voltage generated
by random movement of thermally·charged carriers in a
resistance; in op amp circuits this is the type of noise pro·
duced by the source resistances In series with each Input.

Shot noise (Schottky noise) is a white noise current associated with the fact that current flow is actually a movement
of discrete charged particles (electrons). In Figure 8, INI and
IN2' above the 1/f frequency, are shot noise currents which
are related to the amplifier's DC input bias currents:

FLICKER NOISE
In limited bandwidth applications, flicker (1/f) noise is the
most critical noise source. An op amp designer minimizes
flicker noise by keeping current noise components in the input and second stages from contributing to input voltage
noise. Equation 19 illustrates this relationship:

POPCORN NOISE
Another critical factor is corner frequency. For minimum
noise the current and voltage noise corner frequencies must
be low; this is crucial. As shown in Figure 9, low noise corner frequencies distinquish low noise op amps from ordinary industry-standard 741 types.
The photograph in Figure 10, taken using the test circuit of
Figure 11, illustrates the flicker noise performance of the

Popcorn noise (burst noise) is a momentary change in Input
bias current usually occurring below 100Hz, and is caused
by imperfect semiconductor surface conditions incurred
during wafer processing. Precision Monolithics minimizes
this problem through careful surface treatment, general
cleanliness, and a special three-step process known as "Triple Passivation."

TOTAL NOISE CALCULATION

To begin the process, a specially treated thermal silicon
dioxide layer is grown. This protects the junctions and also
attracts any residual ionic impurities to the top surface of
the oxide, where they are held fixed. Next, a layer of silicon
nitride is applied to prevent the entry of any potential contamination or impurities. The third step is the thick glass
overcoat which leaves only the bonding pads exposed. A
cutaway view of a finished device is shown in Figure 12.

With data sheet curves and specifications, and a knowledge
of source resistance values, total input-referred noise may
be calculated for a given application. To illustrate the
method, noise information from the Precision Monolithics
OP-07 data sheet is reproduced in Figure 13. The first step is
to determine the current and voltage noise corner frequencies so that the EN and IN terms of Equation 14 may be
calculated using Equation 12 and 13.
CORNER FREQUENCY DETERMINATION

EMITTER

In the input spot noise versus frequency curves of Figure 13,
it may be seen that voltage noise (Rs = 0) begins to rise at
about 10Hz. Lines projected from the horizontal (white
noise) portion and sloped (flicker noise) portion intersect at
6Hz, the voltage noise corner frequency (fee). In the center

Op amp manufacturers face a difficult decision in dealing
with popcorn noise. Through careful low noise processing,
it can be eliminated from almost all devices; alternatively,
the processing may be relaxed, and finished devices must
be individually tested for this parameter. Special noise
testing takes valuable labor time, adds significant amounts
to manufacturing cost, and ultimately increases the price a
customer has to pay. At Precision Monolithics the low noise
process alternative is used to manufacture high volumes of
cost-effective low noise op amps.

The preceding calculation determined total noise in a given

below:

Next, calculate IN using Equation 13:

Total input-referred noise = 7.8!,V peak-to-peak (0.0001 Hz to
100Hz).
This is 6.8 times that of the low noise op amp example.
The calculation examples illustrate three rules for minimizing noise in operational amplifier applications:
Rule 1. Use an op amp with low corneffrequencies.
Rule 2. Keep source resistances as low as possible.
Rule 3. Limit circuit bandwidth to signal bandwidth.

BANDWIDTH

,....

Effective circuit bandwidth must not be much greater than
signal bandwidth or amplification of undesirable high fre·
quency noise components will occur. Throughout the
preceding calculations, an assumption of "bandwidth·of·
interest" was made, while in actual application the
amplifier's bandwidth must be considered.
In Figure 16, the OP"()7 frequency response curves show a
rolloff of 20dB/decade; integration of the area under the
curve will show the effective circuit noise bandwidth .to be
1.57 times the 3dB bandwidth. In most closed·loop gain con·
figurations, the amplifier's bandwidth may be greater than
required, and output filtering, such as in Figure 17, could be
used. As an alternate to output filtering, an integrating
capacitor may be connected across the feedback resistor.
Bandwidth may also be limited in some applications by
overcompensating an externallY'compensated low noise op
amp, such as the 888725.

LOW-COST, HIGH-SPEED
ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERSION WITH
THE DAC-OB
By Donn Soderquist and John Schoeff

Today's fast computer and microprocessor-controlled
systems frequently require AiD converters which will complete a conversion in one cycle time.
Until now, these high speed AiD converters have been expensive and difficult to build. Most designers have therefore
chosen to purchase modular AiD converters typically ranging in price from $100 to $400. This application note
describes three less costly AiD designs, with total conversion times of 41's, 21's, and 11's. These designs are implemented with the DAC-08, a recently announced high
speed monolithic digital-to·analog converter. A discussion
of basic successive approximation is given, followed by
practical circuit designs.

SUCCESSIVE APPROXIMATION AID ADVANTAGES
Successive approximation AiD conversion is the most
popular choice in many systems today because it achieves

high conversion rates at very low cost..Other methods, such
as Tracking (Servo) or Staircase (Ramp), require up to "2n "
clock cycles per conversion, where "n" is the number of bits
of resolution, while successive approximation requires only
"n + 1" clock cycles. Finally, a deSigner can easily construct
his AiD with readily available standard ICs.

BASIC SUCCESSIVE APPROXIMATION
AID CONVERSION
A successive approximation AID converter operates by com·
paring the analog input to a series of "trial" conversions;
the first trial compares the input to the value of the most
significant bit (MSB) or half of full scale. Figure 1 shows the
progression of trials for a 3·bit converter. If the input is
greater than the MSB value, the MSB is retained and the
converter moves on to "trying" the next most significant bit,
or three·quarters full scale. If the input had been less than
the MSB, the logic would have turned the MSB off before go·
ing on to the next most significant bit, or one·quarter full
scale. This "branching" continues until each successively
smaller bit has been tried, with the entire process taking "n"
trials.
To implement the logic for the successive approximation
algorithm, a configuration similar to Figure 2 may be
employed, wherein a start command places a "one" in the
first bit of a shift register. This sets the first latch to "one"
and turns on the DAC's MSB. If the comparator output reo
mains low, the "one" will remain in the latch; if not, the latch

clock cycle causes the shift register to place a "one" in the
second bit, and a similar process continues until all bits
have been tried. After the last bit's trial, the end·of·conver·
sion output changes state indicating the parallel data is
ready to be used.

speed AID converter designs. The internal logic switch
design enables propagation delays of 35ns for each of the 8
bits. Settling time of the LSB to within ±1/2LSB of final
value is therefore 35ns, with each successively more signifi·
cant bit taking progressively longer. The MSB settles in
85ns; it is the dominant factor of full scale settling time.
This performance is illustrated in the scope photo of Figure
4, taken at the output of the test circuit of Figure 5.

CURRENT COMPARISON
The previous discussion indicated that the function of the
comparator was to perform a comparison between the
analog input voltage and the output voltage of the DAC.
Higher speed conversions may be achieved by using the
output of a fast current output DAC directly. This may be im·
plemented as shown in Figure 3, where the comparator ex·
amines the polarity of (V 1N - IOAcRIN)' Current comparison
eliminates the need for a current·to·voltage converting op
amp which is by far the slowest element in most DIA con·
verters.

DYNAMIC CONSIDERATIONS
The time required to complete an 8·bit successive approx·
imation AID conversion is determined by the length of 8
trials and their associated comparator decisions, plus one
clock cycle. To minimize these periods, three dynamic con·
siderations must be made:
1.
2.
3.

DAC output current settling time to ±112LSB.
Comparator propagation delay with the available over·
drive.
Logic propagation delay and setup time requirements.

For example, with a 500ns DAC, a 500ns comparator, and
100nsec of logic delay, each of these cycles would require
1.1j.ts. An 8·bit conversion would take nine clock periods, or
10j.ts. To design a fast AID, each of these delays must be
made as short as possible. In the next few paragraphs, prac·
tical methods of minimizing these delays are discussed.

DAC CURRENT SETTLING TIME

with 85ns full scale settling time and is ideal for use in high

A major factor affecting settling time is the RC time con·
stant formed by the load resistance (Rd and the DAC output
capacitance (Co) plus any stray capacitance present at the

summing node. Settling to within ± 1/2LSB at 8 bits (±0.2%
full scale) requires 6.2 RC time constants. For the DAC'()8,
the output capacitance is 1SpF; as a result the output RC
time constant is a major factor influencing settling time
when RL is greater than SOOO and dominates when RL exceeds 9000.
This situation produces difficult requirements. Optimum
DAC settling time occurs when RL ,;; SOOO, but for full scale
currents of 2mA, 1I2LSB is only 4,..A. Thus, with a 5000
equivalent resistance, the voltage at the DAC output corresponding to 1/2LSB is only 2mV and is inadquate for high
speed operation of many comparators. For this reason, RL is
usually la~ger than SOOO, which is a necessary compromise
between DAC settling time and comparator input overdrive
requirements.

available upon request.) A 1,.s AID requires special logic
design using Schottky TTL and will be described in the
detailed circuit description.

PRACTICAL 3 IC AIDs
When the required conversion time is ;;,:2,.s, the DAC-08's
fast settling time enables very simple and low cost designs.
A 4pS design is shown in Figure 7. At additional cost and increased power dissipation, changing the comparator to an
AM686 results In a 2,.s AID. Every nanosecond counts in a
1,.s AID, and the circuit necessarily increases in complexity.
However, with the DAC.()8, Schottky TTL logic, and attention
to layout, a 1,.s AID can be constructed at low cost.

COMPARATOR CONSIDERATIONS
All comparators respond fastest to large differential input
voltages (high overdrive). This phenomenon is shown in
Figure 6, a graph of response time vs input voltage for the
Precision Monolithics' CMP-01. This low cost comparator
provides DC characteristics compatible with 10 and 12-bit
AID converters and has adequate speed for 4pS 8-bit converters.

Ultra-high speed requires considerable power. Maximum
supply currents are 42mA from the +SV supply and 34mA
from the -SV supply.

LOGIC CONSIDERATIONS
A single DIP package, the AM2S02 Successive Approximation Register, contains the logic for 8-bit AID converters
operating at 2,.s or greater conversion times. (Detailed
descriptions of AIDs constructed with the AM2S02 and
Precision Monolithics DACs are contained in AN-11,

ANALOG DESIGN
The DAC-08AQ is useful in this design for several reasons.
Its output full scale current Is guaranteed to be 1.992mA
±8,..A, when a 10.00DV reference is connected to a S.OOOkll
resistor in series with Pin 14. In this deSign, the Skll is split
to allow bypassing without capacitively loading the 10 volt
source. For slightly higher speed, the total resistance may
be reduced to 2.Skll, thereby increasing 10 full scale to
3.984mA, allowing a lower sum node resistance and lower
RC time constant. (The DAC itself does not settle faster at
4mA full scale current.) The DAC-08A maximum nonlinearity
of ±0.1% full scale enables faster settling time to within
±1/2LSB (±0.2% full scale) for each bit trial than would be
the case using a DAC with ±0.2% nonlinearity. USing the

matlon Is always Ilull scale. In this design, 10 is connected to
the analog input. Since 10 + 10 is constant, and 10 flows in
R3, the DC input current Is constant. Holding the AID input
current constant reduces buffer amplifier output impedance
requirements. The buffer amplifier used in this application
must have sufficient bandwidth to hold VIN constant during
a 1,.,s AID conversion.

CALIBRATION AND ACCURACY
In many applications calibration is not required. With a
10.000V reference and ±0.05% tolerance resistors, the
worst case full scale error is ±0.15%. The zero scale error is
totally dependent upon comparator input offset voltage and
input bias current, and, in most cases, it may be tolerated. If
the errors are not tolerable, then the following calibration
procedure may be used.
Calibration of the AID is done first at zero scale, then at full
scale. The zero transition is set by R4, a resistor connected
to the + 10 volt reference. For 10V full scale, the desired
transition point between a code of 0000 0000 and 0000 0001
is at +20mV (+ 1/2LSB). With an ideal comparator, R4 would
be 2.56mO (10 volts/3.9~). Since comparators are less than
ideal, R4 must also cancel out the comparator's input offset
errors. With +20mV applied at the analog input and using a
low clock rate, select R4 to cause th.e output code to fluc·
tuate between 00000000 and 0000 0001. (Do notinstall a pot
for R2 or R4 since it will increase capacitance and induct·
ance at the sum node.) Full scale is calibrated by applying
+9.940V to the analog input and trimming R2 until the out·
put code fluctuates between 1111 1110 and 11111111. Alter·
natively, the reference voltage source may be adjusted for
the same effect. This will be a small adjustment due to the
OAC·08A's tight output full scale current relationship with
the reference voltage. Once calibrated, accuracy is a func·
tion of temperature·induced drifts only.

flip·flops do nothing, because they are not clocked. Bit 1's
answer is now latched, and Bit 2, 1/4 full scale, is being
tried. The process continues with the shift register causing
each bit to be tried from Bit 2 to Bit 8. After the Bit 8 decl·
sion, the EOC output goes high, indicating that the answer
in parallel format is available at the 8-bit outputs.

OUTPUT INTERFACING
In continuous conversion operation, the most common con·
nection, EOC is connected to the Start input. While the
answer is available whenever EOC is high, it is convenient
to use the positive-going edge of the Strobe output as a
clock for two 74S175 quad "0" flip·flops used as an 8-bit
storage latch. Since Strobe goes high before another con·
version cycle begins, there is ample setup time for the latch;
the answer has been steady for over 35ns.

OVERALL DESIGN
Due to the bit settling time range of the OAC·08 from 85ns
for Bit 1 to 35ns for Bit 8, progressively decreasing trial·and·
decision periods would be ideal. Practically, such a timing
sequence is difficult to generate at low cost, so a com·
promise was made: The first four bits allow 160ns for each
trial·and·decision, while the last four bits allow 80ns. This
may be seen in the waveforms of Figure 9. The timing sequence is generated by shifting a "one" through two shift
registers with in·phase clocks, one at 6.5mHz derived from
the other at 13mHz.
Standard 74 Schottky TTL logic was selected for speed,
compatibility with the AM686 comparator, ready availability,
and price.

A TYPICAL CONVERSION CYCLE

A conversion is initiated by a high level at the Start input
when the input 13mHz clock makes a low to high transition.
Approximately 9ns later, the control logic generates a clear
and reset pulse (Strobe) which causes several events: the8
output flip·flops are cleared except for the MSB flip·flop 1
which is set to a "one"; both shift registers are cleared; the
OAC has Bit 1 turned on, all others are off. The conditions
for the first trial at half scale are now established.

As the DAC output settles, the comparator continuously ex·
amlnes the polarity at its noninverting input. For this case,
with zero volts at the analog input, the comparator finds a
negative voltage present; its output therefore is low. This
I.ow is applied to the "0" inputs of all 8 output flip·flops.
Recall that 74S74 flip·flop outputs won't change until they
are clocked by a positive transition at their CP inputs. At the
time labeled 1 on the CP1 waveform, the reset and clear
pulse, Strobe, returns high.
Shift Register Number 1 waits for a positive·going transition
of CP2. At 2 time CP2 goes high, transferring a "one" from
9A·Q to 9B·Q; 9B·Q goes low, setting 2·Q high and clocking
the comparator's "zero" into the Bit 1 flip-flop. The other six

A useful characteristic of the OAC-08 is its capability to
directly Interface with all popular logic families including
TTL, CMOS, and ECL. For this design the OAC-08's logic
control pin (Pin 1) is grounded to provide the proper TTL
logic threshold. A design utilizing ECL could provide slightly faster conversion time at increased power consumption.

LOGIC DESIGN
The primary logic design element is the 74S series positiveedge-triggered "0" flip-flop. This type of flip-flop is useful in
AID designs because of several properties:
1.

The propagation delay from Set to Q going high is only
3ns.

2.

The information on the 0 input is transferred to the Q
output only at a positive-going edge of CPo

3.

Changes at the 0 input (comparator settling changes)
are ignored when CP Is In a steady state.

74S74 dual "0" flip-flops are used for the 8 output latches
and for the control logic, and 745175 quad "0" flip-flops are
used for the two shift registers.
Flip-flops 2 through 8 in the simplified schematic (Figure 10)
perform two functions. Typical operation can be understood
by examining the operation of Flip-Flop 2. When set by an
input from Shift Register Number 1, the Q output of FlipFlop Number 2 goes high, which starts the trial of Bit 2 and
acts as a clock which is the result of Trial 1, to Q of Flip-Flop
1. This basic connection, using the beginning of a new trial
to clock the previous bit trial, is used on all eight output flipflops. The start of each bit trial is precisely coincident with
clocking of the previous bit answer; so no time is wasted,
and logic delays are reduced to setup times only.

PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD LAYOUT RULES

6.

For AID designs generally, and high speed designs in par·
ticular, layout Is Important. Some of the more important
rules are listed below:

The comparator's outputs should be routed away from
its Inputs, to minimize capacitive coupling and possible
oscillation.

SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS

1.

Digital ground must be separated from analog ground;
they must meet at only one common point.

2.

Digital traces should not cross or be routed near sensi·
tive analog areas; this is especially Important near the
sum node.

3.

With Schottky TIL logic, the digital ground and Vee
traces should be large and contain provisions for
generous bypassing.

4.

The trace from the DAC output to comparator input(sum node) should be short, and it should be guarded by
analog ground.

5.

All analog components should be located as close as
possible to the edge connector so that the input analog
traces will be short.

Typical system connections ar shown in Figure 11. Digital
grounds and analog grounds meet at one pOint only keeping
large power supply return currents away from the sensitive
analog ground portion of the AID system. Start is connected
to EOC for continuous conversions, and Strobe Is used to
clock the parallel answer into an output register at the end
of each conversion.

CONCLUSION
The DAC·08 High Speed Monolithic D/A Converter greatly
simplifies construction of high speed AID converters.
Designs using only three ICs achieve 2pS conversions, and
1pS conversion can be attained with additional logic.
Techniques have been presented which allow the user to
construct low cost, high speed AID converters.

OAC-OB APPLICATIONS COLLECTION
By John Schoeff and Donn Soderquist

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

3. Analog meter movement driving.

There has been a trend in recent years toward providing
totally dedicated digital;to-analog converters with limited
applications versatility. This application note describes a
new type of monolithic DAC designed for an extremely
broad range of applications, the Precision Monolithics
DAC-OS.

4. Resistive termination for a voltage output without an op
amp.

Several unique design features of this low-cost DAC combine to provide total applications flexibility. Principal
among them are: dual complementary, true current outputs; universal logic inputs capable of interfacing with any
logic family; 85ns settling time; high-speed multiplying
capability; and finally, the ability to use any standard
system power supply voltages. A description of these
features is given followed by specific applications using
each feature.

DUAL COMPLEMENTARY OUTPUTS
Convertional DACs have a single output, so they cannot
drive balanced loads and are limited to a single input code
polarity. The DAC·OB was designed to overcome these
limitations.

Input coding of positive binary or complementary binary is
obtained by a choice of outputs, 10 for positive·true or 10 for
negative·true. In many applications both are used either in·
dependently or in combination. Dual comlementary outputs

Figure 13. Full Scale Settling Time

Sub-microsecond settling times are common In current·
output DACs. Many DACs settle in 500ns; 300ns is not
unusual. But 85ns settling time for a low·cost DAC is excep·
tional, and this characteristic allows the use of the DAC·08
in formerly difficult and expensive·to·build applications:
1. 1,..s, 2,..s and 4,..s AIDs. (These are completely described in
AN·16, available upon request.)
2. 15MHz Tracking AIDs.
3. ECl compatible applications.
4. Video displays requiring a low·glitch DAC.
5. Radar pulse height analysis system.

LOGIC INPUTS
ADJUSTABLE INPUT LOGIC THRESHOLD
Most DACs have TTL or CMOS compatible inputs which require complicated interfaces for use with ECl, PMOS,
NMOS or HTl logic. By contrast, the DAC·08, with typical
logic input current of 2"A and an adjustable input logic
threshold, interfaces easily with any logic family in use to·
day. The logic input threshold is 1.4V positive with respect
to Pin 1; for TTL Pin 1 is therefore grounded; for other
families Pin 1 Is connected as shown in the interfacing
figure. An adjustable threshold and a -10V to + 18V Input
range greatly simplify system design especially with other·
than·TTl logic. The circuits shown in c and d provide a 2VSE
VLC compensation to minimize temperature drift.

REFERENCE INPUTS
MULTIPLYING CAPABILITY
Fixed internal references are included in many DACs, but
they limit the user to non-multiplying, single-polarity
reference applications and do not allow a single-system
reference. To achieve the design goals of low cost and total
applications flexibility, the DAC'()8 uses an external
reference. Positive or negative references may be applied
over a wide common-mode voltage range. In addition, the
full-scale current is matched to the reference current
eliminating calibration in most applications.

power dissipation at ±5V and 85ns settling time, it has a
lower speed power product than CMOS DACs. Power
dissipation is almost constant over temperature, and

THERMOMETER APPLICATIONS
OF THE REF·02

®

By George Erdi

INTRODUCTION
This application note describes electronic thermometer applications of the REF-02 +5V Voltage Reference where the
voltage output is a direct measurement of temperature in °C
or in OF. These applications use the predictable 2.1mVloC
TEMP output voltage temperature coefficient of the REF-02,
a byproduct of a bandgap voltage reference design. Thermometer applications are described first followed by a
discussion of bandgap voltage reference theory.

THERMOMETER ESSENTIALS
In addition to a highly linear temperature sensitive component, electronic thermometers should have the following
characteristics:
1.

Convenient scaling such as 10mVloC, 100mVloC, or
10mVloF.

2.

Direct voltage readings such as -O.55Vat -55°C, OV
at O°C, and +1.25V at +125°C.

3.

Room temperature calibration.

BASIC CIRCUIT IMPLEMENTATION
The simplified schematic in Figure 1 shows the basic thermometer connections. An operational amplifier, three
resistors, and the +5.000V output of the REF-02 function
together to level shift and amplify VTEMP allowing VOUT to
read in the desired manner. The expression for VOUT is:

(

1. VOUT = 1 +

scales.

COMPLETE CIRCUIT
Two potentiometers, Rp and RbP ' have been added to the circuit for precise calibration and to allow for the ±1 %
resistor tolerances. VREF is adjusted by Rp to set the Your
value at +25°C (77°F); the ratio of Rc to Ra II Rb is adjusted
by Rbp to set the slope of VOUT versus temperature. Resistor
values for typical output scales are shown in Table 2.

TRANSDUCER ERROR FACTORS

VOUT

Error terms are threefoid:

VTEMP

Rb1

1. Slope errors - Deviations from nominal slope. For example, if the slope Is 10.04mV/'C instead of 10.00mV/'C, the
accuracy due to the slope error is 0.4 %.

Rbp

2. Linearity errors - Deviations in VTEMP versus temperature from straight line performance, a change in VTEMP
slope with temperature.

GND

-15V

3. Offset error - VOUT deviations due to changes in VREF
with temperature.

Figure 2. Complete Schematic

CALIBRATION CONDITIONS
All calibration is conducted in free air. Heatsinking of the
REF'()2 Is unnecessary and is undesirable. The small (2 'C)
rise in chip temperature of the REF·02 above ambient tem·
perature serves as an error·cancelling factor of some sec·
ond order effects internal to the REF·02 design. The calibra·
tion procedure which follows assumes free air - no heat·
sinking - calibration.

CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
Calibration is performed at ambient temperature with two
adjustments using the fOllowing procedure:
Step 1:
Step 2:

Measure and record VTEMP and TA in 'C.
Calculate the calibration ratio "r" using
Equation 3:

_
Ra~Rb
VTEMplnmV
3. r= Rc+RalIRb = S(TA+273)
Where S = TCV ouT, TA = ambient temperature in 'C
Step 3:

Turn power off, short VREF terminal to ground,
and apply a precise 100mV to the VOUT term·
inal.

Step 4:

Adjust RbP so that VB = r(100mV); remove short.

Step 5:

Turn power on; adjust Rp so that VOUT equals
the correct value at ambient temperature.

The system is now calibrated.

CALIBRATION EXAMPLE
Here is an example at T A =25'C, S=10mV/'C, and
VTEMP =632mV:
Step 1:

VTEMP = 632mV, TA = 25 'C.
Using Equation 3:
VTEMP
632
632
r = S(TA + 273) = 10(25 + 273) = 29SO = 0.2121

Step 2:

Since these errors are grade dependent, Table 3 is provided
as an aid in specifying the correct combination of components for a given application. Offset error can be eliminated by using one REF-02 as a temperature sensor only
and another REF-02 (operated at a constant temperature) as
VREF'

TRANSDUCER PERFORMANCE
Typicai system accuracy is ±O.5% over the -55' to
+ 125 'C range of a REF'()2A. For example, when calibrated
at +25'C, the reading of VOUT at +105'C may be 105.4'C, a
deviation of 0.5% of the SO' temperature change (+25'C to
+105'C).
Although the REF'()2 is guaranteed to perform over the
-55' to +125'C range only, operation beyond those limits
is possible. A large number of devices were measured and
found to be functioning satisfactorily over the -150 'C to
+170'C range, and there was only a slight degradation in
accuracy.

In many applications, the sensor must be located some
distance away from the measurement circuitry. One precaution must be taken with the REF·02: a 1.5kll resistor should
be connected between Pin 3 (TEMP) and its associated
cable conductor to isolate this pin from cable capacitances.

BANDGAP REFERENCE THEORY
Bandgap voltage references (1), (2), (3), use predictable relationships from semiconductor physics to generate a constant voltage. The base-emitter voltage of a transistor (V BE)
has a processing and current density dependent negative
temperature coefficient of about -2.1mV/oC. Another wellknown relationship with a positive temperature coefficient
is the difference between base-emitter voltages of two
transistors operated at different current densities:

CONCLUSION
The REF-02, by using a bandgap design, provides both a
stable +5V reference voltage output and an additional output voltage directly proportional to temperature. Accurate
electronic thermometers reading in °C or in OF can be constructed at low cost for a wide variety of temperature
monitoring and controlling applications.

the emitter area of 02. A AVBE of 72mV appears across R1
and is amplified by 8.75 (becoming the TEMP output) and is
added to VBE (02) to produce a nearly constant Vz of 1.23V.
The -2.1mV/oC of TCV BE is cancelled by the +2.1mV/oC of
TCVTEMP ; and Vz is amplified by 4.06 to produce an output
of VREF of 5.000V.

REFERENCES

When AV BE is amplified and added to VBE, a voltage
reference with zero temperature coefficient results if ·the
sum (Vz) of these two terms equals the linearly·extrapolated
bandgap voltage of silicon (Vgo ) at OOK or -273°C, Vgo
= 1.205V. A more exact calculation, see reference 2, will
show that Vz will have zero temperature coefficient if:
5. Vz=Vgo+ kT =1.230V@+25°C

The circuit in Figure 4 generates a AV BE of 72mV at 25°C by
making the current density of Q216 times greater than 01.

INTRODUCTION

3. 10 = IFs - 10 for all input logic states.

The introduction of low-cost monolithic D/A converters has
simplified data acquisition and control system design. This
application note describes several n.ew applications using
the multiplying capability and dual complementary current
outputs of the Precision Monolithics DAC-08.

The relationship of IREF to 10 and 10 Is illustrated in Figure 2
and in Figure 3, the basic DC reference connections. References may be either positive or negative, and a bipolar output
voltage may be aChieved using the high compliance current
outputs alone or with an output operational amplifier. The
simplest form of a multiplying DAC accepts a unipolar varying reference input.

BIPOLAR REFERENCES
Operation with bipolar references Is achieved by
modulating IREF as shown In Figure 5. To aid in understanding bipolar operation, see the equivalent circuit in Figure 4.
The reference inputs of the DAC-08 are op amp inputs VREF (+) being the inverting input and VREF (-) being the
noninverting input. Excellent gain linearity of the reference
amplifier allows multiplying operation over a range of IREF
of 4pA to 4mA with monotonic operation from less than
100pA to 4mA.

VREF (+1

Cc = 15pF, the reference amplifier slews at 4mA/I's enabl,
ing a transition from IREF = 0 to IREF = 2mA In 500ns. If R14 or
the parallel equivalent resistance at Pin 14 Is less than
2000, no compensation capacitor is necessary, and a fullscale transition requires only 16ns.

TWO-QUADRANT MULTIPLICATION

REFERENCE AMPLIFIER COMPENSATION
AC reference applications will require the reference
amplifier to be compensated using a capacitor from Pin 16
to V -. The value of this capacitor depends on the impedance presented to Pin 14: for R14 values of 1.0, 2.5 and
5.0kO, minimum values of Cc are 15, 37, and 75pF. Larger
values of R14 require proportionately increased values of Cc
for proper phase margin.

FAST PULSED OPERATION
For fastest multiplying response, low values of R14 enabling
small Cc values should be used. For R14 = 1kO and

and bipolar analog, where the analog reference input controls output polarity.
Bipolar digital two-quadrant mutliplication is shown in
Figure 6 with the output polarity being controlled by an
offset-binary-coded digital input word.
Bipolar analog two-quadrant multiplication is shown in
Figure 7. A bipolar reference voltage is connected to the upper DAC-08 and modulates the reference current by ± 1.0mA
around a quiescent current of 1.1 mAo The lower DAC-08 also
has a reference current of 1.1mA; due to the parallel digital
inputs, the lower DAC-08 effectively subtracts out the quiescent 1.1mA of the upper DAC-08's reference current at all in-

Four·quadrant multiplication combines the two forms of
two-quadrant multiplication. Output analog polarity is controlled by either the analog input reference or by the offset

with the DAC-08 is shown in Figure 8 with output current

The four·quadrant mutliplying DAC circuit shown accepts a
differential voltage input and produces a differential current
output. An output op amp is not shown because It is not
always required; many applications are more suited for high
output compliance (-10V to + 18V) differential current outputs. Typical balanced loads include transformers, transducers, transmission lines, bridges and servos.
Operation of the four-quadrant multiplier may be more easily
visualized by considering that if either VIN OV or the offset
binary digital input code is at midscale (corresponding to
zero), then a change in the other input will not affect the output. Zero multiplied by any number equals zero.

HIGHEST SPEED FOUR·QUADRANT
MULTIPLYING CONSIDERATIONS

+15V

The configuration shown in Figure 10 makes use of the
DAC-08's ability to operate in a fast-pulsed reference mode
without compensation capacitors. This technique provides
lowest full-scale transition times. An internal clamp allows
quick recovery of the reference amplifier from a cutoff
(lREF = 0) condition. This connection yields a reference slew
rate of 16mA/ftS which is relatively independent of RIN and
VIN values.

Input resistances are not limited to 10kll. For example,
100kll resistors for RIN1 and RIN2 allow ±100V reference
voltage inputs making this ponnection especially useful in
high common mode voltage environments. Except for different reference treatment, operation and digital input
coding are identical in the circuits shown in Figure 8 and in
Figure 10; both have the transfer function shown in Figure 9.

Cc is the base of a transistor whose emitter is one diode

DIFFERENTIAL AND RATIOMETRIC
AID CONVERSION
Complementary/differential current-source outputs and
multiplying capability allow the DAC-OS to be used in differential and ratiometric AID converter designs directly
without signal conditioning amplifiers. This group of applications begins with the basic differential A/D converter
and ratiometric AID conveter connections followed by more
specific applications.

With a full-scale input code the output, Vo, is flat to
> 200kHz and is 3dS down at approximately 1.0MHz making
this type of multiplying connection useful even beyond the
audio frequency range. Such a connection is illustrated in
Figure 12 operating at 455kHz, the highest recommended
operating frequency in this connection.

ALGEBRAIC DIGITAL COMPUTATION
Frequently, a digital arithmetic operation (addition, subtrac·
tion, multiplication, or division) must be performed, and an

analog output must be provided. Traditionally, the arith·
metic operations are performed with several ICs, and the
output drives a CIA converter. This section decribes applica·
tlons of the CAC-OS as an arithmetic building bloCk, new
design approaches that reduce the number of packages reo
quired in many applications. Today's low cost, versatile
DACs merit a designer's consideration as arithmetic
elements.

PAGE 15-79

One benefit is not immediately apparent and deserves
special mention. In all of these applications, the digital Input
words can be CMOS, TIL, OTL, NMOS, or MECL, because
the OAC-OB interfaces with all of those logic families. In
fact, the two input words may even be from different logic
families to eliminate special level translators or interface
circuitry. (See AN-17 "DAC-08 Applications Collection.")

FOUR·QUADRANT DIGITAL MULTIPLICATION
High-speed multiplication of two 8-bit digital words with an
analog output usually requires several logic packages and a
D/A converter. The circuit in Figure 18 performs this function using only three ICs.
In Figure 18 DAC-08 number 1 and number 2 are connected
as previously shown, and OAC-oa number 3 provides the
analog reference inputs to OAC-08 number 1 and number 2.
Those reference inputs are determined by digital Input word
"A." The circuit's output, 101 -102, is a differential current output which may be used to drive a balanced load.

The first arithmetic application is shown in Figure 17. Two
DAC-08s perform a fast algebraic summation with a direct
analog output. The circuit works by paralleling the outputs
of two DAC.Q8s and summing their currents while driving a
balanced load. The output is the algebraic sum of word "A"
and word "S" in all four quadrants.

Four-quadrant multiplication is thus performed by adding
one more DAC.Q8 to the basic four-quadrant multiplying
connection.

EXPONENTIAL DIGITALLY CONTROLLED
OSCILLATOR USING DAC-76
By Donn Soderquist

Here is a 4-IC, microprocessor-controlled oscillator with a
8159 to 1 frequency range covering 2_5Hz to 20kHz. An exponential, current output IC DAC functioning as a programmable current source alternately charges and discharges a
capacitor between precisely-controlled upper and lower
limits. This circuit features instantaneous frequency
change, operates with +5V ±1V and -15V ±3V supplies,
and provides monotonic frequency changes over a 78dB
range - the dynamic range of a 13-bit DAC.

When 58 is low, lo( -) is selected, and the DAC's output current drives a current mirror which ramps the timing capacitor in a positive direction until an upper limit of OV is sensed
by A2. At this time the set-resist flip-flop (L1) is set, 58
becomes a "1", and the DAC's output current is switched to
the lo( +) output. Now the capacitor is charged to a lower
limit of -5V, the flip-flop is reset, and the cycle .repeats
itself.

REFERENCE SETUP
The multiplying relationship between the reference current,
IREF' and the full-scale output of the DAC is 3.863. IREF is set
by the voltage between V + and the lower limit divided by
R1 + R2. This is 50 because Pin 12, VREF(-), is a highimpedance input, namely the noninverting input of an op
amp internal to the DAC. Since both IREF and the upper and
lower limits are derived by dividing down the power supply
voltages, operation (frequency of oscillation) is independent
of power supply changes. (See Appendix for. a complete
derivation of the timing formula.)

BASIC OPERATION
Connected as shown below, the output of the exponential
DAC is an eight-chord (or segment) current ranging between
250nA and 2.0mA. The three most significant bits select 1 of
8 binarlly-related chords; and the five least significant bits
select 1 of 32 linear steps within each chord. This current is
switched between the lo( +) output and the lo( -) output
under the control of a pin labeled SB.

Equation 4. LL= R3+R4+R5+R6

Table 1 lists ideal output frequencies at the lowest and
highest codes of each chord and the average change in frequency produced by a one-step change (LSB change) within
each chord. For highest accuracy in Chord 0, especially between 2.5Hz and 19.6Hz, comparators with low input current
are recommended. The CMP-02CY comparators typically have
35nA of input current; at the lowest code pOint (000 00001)
the DAC output is 250nA; so low input current comparators
are essential for best operation. Above 000 01000 (4p.A or
19.6Hz) the comparator input currents become less critical.

One of the best features of this design is its insensitivity to

to explain how V + and V-drop out as timing determinations.
With a constant current drive the charge on C changes
linearly over a range (E) between an upper limit (UL) and a

3 IC 8·BIT BINARY DIGITAL TO PROCESS
CURRENT CONVERTER
WITH 4·20mA OUTPUT
By Donn Soderquist

This application note describes a 3 IC, 4-20mA process current, digital-to-analog converter that can be constructed for
less than $20 at current 100+ prices_ It operates from a - 5V
±1V negative power supply and a +23V ±7V positive
power supply, has 24V output voltage compliance, and occupies less than 4 square inches of printed circuit board
space_ Other significant features include TTL logic input
compatibility, 8-bit binary coding, O· to + 70· C operation,
and 51's full scale settling time into a 500010ad_

through Q1, a high hFE transistor_ The same +10V is applied
to R3, the reference input resistor of a multiplying IC D/A
converter, the DAC-08_ Full scale output current of the DAC
will be the difference in voltage between the +10V
reference and Pin 14 of the DAC divided by R3; Pin 15 will be
at the same voltage as Pin 14 because it is a high impedance point, the noninverting input of an op amp internal
to the DAC_ After calibration a current of 0 to 2mA (depending on the digital input code) will flow into the DAC's output, Pin 4_

THEORY OF OPERATION

Both the DAC's output current and the fixed 0_5mA flow in
R5, a 8000 precision resistor_ The voltage developed by that
current is applied to the noninverting input of the other half
of A3 and will also appear across R6, a 1000 precision
resistor. Thus, eight times the 0_5 to 2_5mA current in R5
flows in R6, or 4 to 20mA_ Almost all of this current appears
at the output because the 2N6053 is a high hFE device, a
power darlington transistor_

A fixed current of 0_5mA is added to a DAC's output current
varying between 0 and 2_0mA and the resulting total current
is multiplied by a factor of 8 to produce an output current of
4_0 to 20mA_
In the schematic, first note the REF-01CJ, a +10V adjustable reference_ Its output goes to the noninverting input
of one half of A3, a dual precision op amp_ The inverting input is within a feedback loop forcing + 10V to appear at the
top of R4, a 20kO resistor; a 0_5mA current will flow in R4

Some other components need explanatlon_ C1 provides frequency compensation of the DAC's reference amplifier; C2

a few readily available discrete components.

CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
Apply +23V ±7Vand -5V ±1V to the converter with a
current·measuring meter connected between the output and
ground. Make the digital inputs all zeros, < +O.SV. Adjust
R1 until the output current is 4.0mA. Now change the digital
inputs to all ones, > +2.0V. Adjust R2 until the output cur·
rent is 20mA. Calibration is now completed.

OUTPUT VOLTAGE COMPLIANCE
Output voltage compliance is Vce -6V. For example, at Vee
= +16V, the output may go to a maximum of +10V without
affecting output current. Thus, a 5000 resistor would be the
maximum load resistor at Vee = +30V, Voc = 24V, and RL

Although the values shown are for the more common

SOFTWARE CONTROLLED ANALOG TO
DIGITAL CONVERSION USING DAC-OB
AND THE BOBOA MICROPROCESSOR
by Will Ritmanich and Wes Freeman

The microprocessor is generally regarded as a flexible
replacement for discrete logic devices. Yet most micro·
processor-based designs still use numerous isolation and
support packages for analog-to-digital (AID) conversion,
rather than using just software and the processor itself.
There are many applications where the minimum system ap·
proach is both desirable and feasible. This application note
describes a very simple, low·cost method of software con·
trolled 8-bit AID conversion using the Precision Monolithics
DAC-08 and the Intel 8080A. Innovative software eliminates
the need for peripheral isolation devices. Easily expandable
to 10-bit or 12-bit AID conversions, the technique may be
emulated using other microprocessors having separate address and data busses.

8080A 1/0 INTERFACE CONSIDERATIONS

plemented. By utilizing unused portions of memory address
space for 110 operations, the full instruction set used to control memory can also be used to operate on peripherals.
This creates a powerful "new" capability for dealing with
110. The major constraint, however, is that the peripheral
must now conform to memory bus signals and timing.

110 CONTROL USING MEMORY·MAPPING
The convention used in establishing memory· mapped 110 is
to assign address line A15 as the 110 control flag. Thus, if A15
is "zero," then memory is active, and if A15 is "one" then 110
is active. This creates a "map" of the memory as shown in
Figure 2. Although other address lines could be used for the
function, A15 1s normally used because it is easier to control
with software and allows full address capability for the
lower 32k of memory.

In order to communicate with any inputloutput peripheral
device, the 8080A must be able to distinguish between its
normal memory array and that particular 110 peripheral. Two
techniques exist for accomplishing this, each with its own
set of advantages and disadvantages.
The basic approach, used especially in large systems requiring greater than 32k memory, assigns the particular
peripheral to an 110 "Port." This has the effect of isolating
the 110 from the memory bus by the use of additional Interface devices (generally the 8255 Programmable Peripheral
Interface). Data transfers to and from the peripheral are then
enabled by special instructions IN or OUT. This method has
the advantage of allowing full65k memory usage (Figure 1),
but requires additional support circuits. Although concep·
tually simple, it restricts communications to the peripheral
through the 8080A Accumulator.
For simple applications or where the full memoryaddressing capability of the 8080A Is not needed, a powerful technique referred to as "Memory-mapped 110" can be im-

32.

MEMORY·MAPPED 110 CONTROL SIGNALS
In order to manipulate memory·mapped 110, it is necessary
to generate the appropriate control signals. This is accomplished by gating MEMR and MEMW with A15 as shown
in Figure 3. System bus characteristics are preserved and
all Instructions normally used to operate on memory can
now be used on 110 as well.

Because it provides the best tradeoff between speed and

counterweights to the other pan until the scale is balanced,
we can ascertain the portion of the unknown weight com·
pared to that of the known full scale weight. The number of
"trials" is made equal to the number of counterweights
available by starting with the heaviest counterweight first,
and either retaining it or rejecting it based on the com·
parison to the unknown. This process is repeated for the
next heaviest and so on until all weights have been tried.
Electrically, this can be simulated by sl'lquential com·
parisons between the output of a digital·ta-analog converter
and some unknown analog input. Figure 5 shows the basic
circuit cpflfiguration.
At the start of a conversion, the most significant bit (MSB)
of the DAC is turned on by the Successive Approximation
Register (SAR) producing an output from the DAC equal to
one·halffull scale. The DAC's output Is compared to the
analog input by a comparator, and if the DAC output is
greater than the unknown input voltage, the MSB is turned
off. If, however, the DAC output .is less than the unknown In·
put, the MSB is allowed to remain on, and the next most
significant bit is tried. Whether or not this second bit should
remain on or be turned off is subject to the same criteria as
before (Figure 6). This basic procedure is used to test all remaining DAC bit inputs.

LOGIC REPLACEMENT BY THE 8080A
The circuit illustrated in Figure 5 can be simplified by utilizing the logic capability of the 8080A to replace the SAR. The
eight lowest order address bits control the data bit iriputs to
the DAC'()8 (Figure 7). Table 1 contains the software used to
accomplish this. Figure 8 depicts the corresponding flow
diagram.

Figure 10. Computed Dynamic Crosstalk for Actual Multiplexer

The numbers shown in Figure 10 apply to the measurement
system, but are unlikely in a real multiplexer. To satisfy
sampling theory limitations, f SIG must be less than one-hal!
the sampling frequency. Assuming fCLK = 200kHz then each
channel in a multiplexer is addressed for 5JLsec. This means
that it takes 40JLSec to sample all channels of an eight channel multiplexer. In other words, each channel is sampled at
a 25kHz rate. Thus the maximum value of f SIG would be
12.5kHz. Figure 10b gives values of dynamic crosstalk (OCT)
which would be experienced if the values of RON and T BRK
shown in Figures 10a and 10b were used. The first OCT column lists the values for a CEQ of 0.13pF (measured value of
channel three). The second OCT column shows the perfor-

mance for CEQ = 0.5pF. The purpose for the second column
is to point out how critical minimizing stray capacitance is
to good crosstalk performance.

MEASUREMENT OF ADJACENT CHANNEL
CROSSTALK
The system shown in Figure 11 was used to measure adjacent channel crosstalk (ACCT). Ml drives the address lines
of the MUX system and the gating input of M 4. By setting the
period of M4 (T2l to 10JLSec, the pulse rate out of M4 is controlled by the pulse rate of Ml (40JLSec) coming into the gate
input of M4. The output of M4 is in the complement mode

because the control input to M3 causes the S/H to HOLD
when the input is high (1). Thus the sample period occurs
during the time P2. M4 also can delay its pulse relative to
the pulse out of M1• thereby allowing measurements of
crosstalk versus t1 (start of the sample time). This informa·
tion is valuable because in many systems, a sample/hold
is used with a successive approximation ADC to encode
the analog output of the MUX. As will be shown, the ACCT
can be made negligible if a sufficient time elapses before
going to the HOLD mode for encoding the data. Since
"time is money," the term "sufficient time" becomes im·
portant.
The nature cif sample/holds and the nature of spectrum
analyzers can cause some apparent discrepancies in the
data observed by this measurement system. It is important
to riote the spectrum analyzer "sees" the average of
everything that is presented to its input terminals. While it is
true the sample/hold holds the last value it "saw," the spec·
trum analyzer also looks at the signal present during the
sample/hold's sample time. Thus the equation which ex·
presses the signal level present as a function of time must
also account for the true averaging of the spectrum ana·
Iyzer. Figure 12 shows the equations (12c) and the defini·
tions of the terms used in the equations (12a and 12b). The
term No is the relative signal level which the spectrum ana·
Iyzer measures. If the model of the signal decay shown in
Figure 12a is the correct one to explain the ACCT, then the
computed value of No should correspond to the measured
values. As will be shown in Figure 14, the agreement does in
fact justify the model; however it was necessary to choose
the measurement conditions very carefully.

Figure 12. Predicting the Measurement System Response

In order to get good correlation between lab data and
theoretical predictions, it was necessary to use fairly long
time constants (RL = 22kO and CL = 1000pF). With RL = 22kO
and CL = 50pF (RON = 3000), the theoretical plot of ACCT (as
measured on the spectrum analyzer) vs. t1 is shown in
Figure 13. Note that the data is plotted between 900nsec
and 1025nsec. The curve shows that a 10nsec error in'l can
cause a 6dB error in reading on the spectrum analyzer. The
results shown in Figure 14 confirm the necessity of using
large capacitances to obtain predictable results. The theo·
retical curve tracks the actual data well in both cases;
however the 1000pF curve is better than the 300pF curve.
Notice that there is good agreement both at DC and at 4kHz.

The equations in Figure 12c can be used to predict how
much adjacent channel crosstalk one might expect in an actual system. An all analog system will follow the MUX with a

demultiplexer, which will have its own break-before-make
delay. An analog to digital system will have a sample/hold
amplifier in front of the AID converter. Since the equations
which apply to these situations are different, they will be
discussed separately. Figure 15 summarizes the conditions
and the equations which apply to them.
Since there is no held voltage, then NH = 0 in the multiplexer-demultiplexer system. This reduces No to the simple
form shown in equation (1). Sl and S2 follow in equations (2)
and (3). Since t1 = T D (break·belore-make time of the DEMUX),
that time will have a significant effect on ACCT. The MUX·
sample/hold system imposes the condition S1 = S2 = P2 = 0;
thus No = N H. It will be instructive to compare the levels of
ACCT in these two systems versus their appropriate times.
Figure 16 looks at a "typical" system which will give approximately one percent transmission error (33kU RL and 3000
RON), and has 50pF CL. The value of CL is somewhat on the
high side (20pF being typical for MUX-OB connected to a buffer amp), but it does give a conservative value .lor. analysis.
What Figure 16 shows is rather startling. The adjacent chan·
nel crosstalk, while Inherent in the multiplexer itself, can be
eliminated in both systems by the proper timing. In the case
of the sample/hold it is only necessary to delay the hold
command for approximately 1.2!,sec to have the ACCT
vanish completely. This is no problem, since most sample/
holds need at least 2!,sec to accurately acquire the signal
(this is particularly true of monolithic devices). The plot for
the MUX-DEMUX system relates to TD, which is not adjustable for a given DEMUX. What is possible is to add some
delay to the address change for the DEMUX. In this way, the
DEMUX will not "look" at the MUX output until the charge
from the previous channel has had a chance to dissipate.

CONCLUSION
Table II summarizes the forms of crosstalk and lists ways 01
coping with them. Reduction of RON is helpful in all three
cases. While TBRK should be minimized as much as possible,
it is important that no two channels are ON at the same
time. In some cases, T BRK is chosen such that even over
temperature extremes, the break-before-make feature is
maintained. Since all three components of crosstalk are present in a dynamic multiplexer, the "careful circuit board

layout" is important even though it is not listed in the ACCT
section.
This paper has painted out the fact that static crosstalk
(given on multiplexer data sheets) is only one of the three
components of crosstalk. The models for static and dynamic
crosstalk are relatively simple and were discussed to show
how they are related. The most troublesome compo"nent of
crosstalk (adjacent channel crosstalk) was shown not to be
quite so straight-forward. For one thing, adjacent channel
crosstalk (ACCT) is not signal frequency dependent as are
CT and DCT. The mechanism which governs this lorm of
crosstalk is stored charge on the MUX node. While CT and
DCT must be minimized by careful layout and once present
in the multiplexer cannot be reduced, such is not the case
with ACCT. Even though ACCT is present in the multiplexer,
the proper timing of demultiplexer or sample/hold commands
can effectively eliminate ACCT from the total system.

OAC-OB CONTROL OF 555 TIMERS
by Kishor Patel

I

INTRODUCTION

{ lOUT volts per second from approximately zero volts to
2 C
3' Vcc of the 555 timer.

This application note describes a digitally or microprocessor controlled one-shot and an astable multivibrator
using two of the industry's most widely used low cost
building blocks, the PMI DAC-08 8 bit DAC and the 555
timer. Digital control ranges of 255 to 1 and 510 to 1 are
shown for one-shot and astable applications allowing
periods of 181'sec to 1.4 seconds and frequencies of 1 Hz to
60 KHz.

The one-shot's period, T, is basically an RC product with
two other control factors. The R is fixed and represented by
RREF which sets up the correct IREF current for the DAC.
With the fixed RREF, the one-shot period is directly proportional to the value of the timing capacitor C (see Table 1).
The other two controlling factors are the DAC's digital
inputs and the ratio of the timer's Vee to the DAC's VREF.
The one-shot period is inversely proportional to the normalized digital input value and directly proportional to the
Vee to VREF ratio as illustrated in Fig. 2. When operated in
the linear mode, a 255 to 1 control range of the one-shot's
period is achieved.

ONE·SHOT LINEAR MODE OPERATION
In the one-shot mode of operation, the time delay or the
one-shot period is determined by a constant current source
and a capacitor. A digitally programmable constant current
source is made using the DAC-08 and two PNP transistors.
The DAC-08 is a current sink; the two PNP transistors are
used as a current mirror which reverses the direction of the
DAC's sink current forming a current source. The current
source charges the timing capacitor, causing the voltage
across the capacitor to increase linearly at the rate of

BASIC DESIGN
As shown in Fig. 1, this design involves a series of conversions from a digital input to an analog current to a
threshold voltage and finally to a time delay or a frequency.
A DAC-08 converts the digital input to an analog current

digital DAC input and the ratio of the timer Vccto the DAC's
VREF provide additional control on the multivibrator's frequency. The digital input has directly proportional control
while the Vcc to VREF ratio has an inversely proportional
control of frequency.
Frequency range is not fully 255 to 1 as expected but
approximately 220 to 1, because the discharge time (output
low) of a cycle is invariable for any digital input being determined by the product of RB and C. Frequency is shown in
Table 3 and in Fig. 4. Expanded range operation doubles
frequency range as it did in the one-shot application.
Frequency is shown in Table 4.

MICROPROCESSOR CONTROL
Figure 4. Multivibrator Frequency vs Digital Input

Both the one-shot and the astable multivibrator can be
microprocessor controlled. Fig. 5 shows the implementa'
tion of a microprocessor controlled one-shot. The eight bit
latch (74LS377) is used to interface between the data bus
and the DAC. Stable data is latched in by a positive gOing
edge of an address coincident pulse. After the data is latched, a buffered negative gOing address coincident pulse
can be used to trigger the one-shot. The astable multivibrator is implimented similarily except for elimination of
the buffer and the trigger pulses which are not required.

CONCLUSION
Digitally controlled one-shot and astable multivibrator with
a wide range of outputs have been implemented. The oneshot has a 255 to 1 (8 Bit dynamic) time period range and
the astable multivibrator a 220 to 1 frequency range. When
the DAC is operated in the expanded modes, these ranges
are doubled.

EIGHT CHANNEL CODEC
DEMONSTRATOR
by B. W. Berry

Precision Monoiithics, Inc. has developed a CODEC
demonstrator system in order to show the use of their line of
telecom devices in a shared-channel system. These circuits
provide a working digital transmission system incorporating
eight analog input channels digitally interfacing to eight output channels. The circuit design was completed so that a
single analog printed circuit board could be used either for
encoding eight channels or decoding eight channels. A
single digital timing and interface board is used to provide
system clocks and the parallel digital data bus from transmitter to receiver. All board layouts and schematics are
available from PMI. The design uses pluggable connections
so that, if desired, the encoding portion or the decoding portion of the system can be tested separately. The user need
only provide three voltage supplies (±15VDC, +5VDC), the
appropriate filters and any applicable transmission test
equipment.

HARDWARE
The entire eight-channel system consists of twenty-one integrated circuits mounted on three printed circuit boards.
Two of the boards, as mentioned, are a common layout
which is used for the analog functions of the system. The
analog board used for the encoder (analog-to·digital conv~r­
sion) requires the addition of a COMDAC® (DAC-86, 87), a
MUX-88, a SMP-81, a CMP-01, and a REF-02. The other
analog board is used for the decoder (digital-to-analog conversion) with the addition of a DAC-86, MUX-88, REF-02, and
an OP-16. The general schematic and parts' list for the analog
boards is shown in Figures 1 and 2.
The control board is a T2L circuit of twelve devices designed
to provide three basic functions, a) the successive ,approximation register with interface to the DAC-86" b) the clock
for the encode portion of the demonstrator, and c) the digital

The PROM was used to provide flexibility In changing the

waveforms are also described later; the circuit schematic is

Figure 4. The digital interface is provided by using a stan·
dard a·blt, parallel.in, parallel·out latCh updated as the suc·
cesslve approximation process is completed for each Input
channel. The remainder of the circuit consists of t~e SAR
and the multiplexer address counters. A parts list for the clr·

The boards are interconnected by use of four mini·dip con·
nectors and cables, a 16·pin and 14-pin from each analog
board to the controller. The lead designations of the two
connectors are shown in Figure 6. The input and output
channels are accessible through "banana"·type plugs; this
allows optional connections from the transmission line in
order to try different types of filters and line interface cir·
cu its. The two analog boards requ ire ± 15VDC and "banana"
plugs are provided to interface to the appropriate supplies.
The control board requires +5VDC only. The entire system
layout is shown in block diagram in Figure 7.

The accuracy of the encoder, lIle analog-to-digital converter,
is dependent upon several factors. The first, and most
significant, is the speed (settling time) of the companding
DAC in conjunction with the comparator. Other factors are
switching time of the multiplexer, acquisition time of the
sample-and-hold, hold-step settling time of the sample-andhold, and output noise of the sample-and-hold and

multiplexer. All of these characteristics had to be considered while developing the encoder circuit.
In a companded AID conversion, using a successive approximation method, different digital bits require different settling times. There Is a constant increase in the settling time
required as one goes from the sign bit to the chord bits and
then to the step bits. This increase in settling time is partially
caused by the scaled current sources used to design a companding D/A and Is most affected by the magnitude of the
voltage level being converted. So as the output currents of
the DAC-86 become smaller (at smaller voltage levels), the
comparator is less responsive. Also as the less significant
bits are clocked in, the situation becomes more critical
since progressively smaller current changes are provided to
force the comparator to change output state. The encoder
clock waveforms, shown in Figure 8, depict a system approach to accommodate these timing characteristics. The
governing design criteria was that a limited amount of time
is available to complete the successive approximation of the
analog signal (for eight channels, with a sampling frequency
of 8kHz, this means 15.6J.1S) and the optimum clock must fit
within this period. All functions (including sampling, encoding, switching) must therefore be completed with an acceptable accuracy, within this time constraint. To achieve
accurate data acquisition with the sample-and-hold, a sample pulse of 3.2J.1S was used. Once the pulse goes from sample to hold, there is a waiting time required to allow the

sample-and-hold output to settle to the "held" value, 650ns
is the time added. Since the sign bit is the fastest transition,
the basic system clock (1.544MHz) is used for the first SAR
clock period. The clock frequency is then halved to clock In
the chord bits (B1, B2, B3), the next "slowest" transitions.
Finally, the clock frequency is halved again to allow for the
step bits (B4-B7), a frequency of 386kHz. The times required
for the different bit conversions are shown in Figure 8. The
SAR is reset during the sampling period and once the sample circuit has entered the hold mode, the input
multiplexer's address is changed. This provides ample time
for the MUX to switch to the next analog input with little effect on the adjacent waveforms. In addition, to further
minimize interchannel crosstalk, a 2OkO resistor to ground is
added to the multiplexer output.
To provide sufficient noise immunity from the sample-andhold to the comparator, a simple filtering circuit using a
100pF capacitor is added. A 4.9kO resistor to +5V from the
comparator output aids in increasing the DAC-86 and
comparator speed. In order to test the encoder without adding a decoder, a high-precision voltage source (DC levels)
was used as an input to one or more channels of the AID circuit. The data output (one byte every 15.6J.1S) was sampled
and stored in a logic analyzer. By reviewing the samples for
each channel, and comparing the data from all channels of
the eight channel system, the effects of changes in the
clock on the accuracy of the design could be observed. By
inputting a steady-state value, the data oui would not only
demonstrate the "consistency" of the AID conversion but
also make obvious any adjacent channel effects that were
produced.
The analyzer sampling also presents a method of initializing
the system components. By grounding all inputs and digitally
sampling the data bus output, the zero level can be set so as
to produce an alternating series of data bytes equivalent to 0
volts (10000000 and 00000000).
A similar design approach was used in developing an eightchannel decoder. In this case, the response time of the
DAC-86 and op amp offers little problem since an eightchannel decoder is relatively slow. However, the accuracy of
the devices does become important. The design considerations become, therefore, the nonlinearity of the DAC-86 in

PAGE 15-164

conjunction with the switching time and charge injection of
the multiplexer. The DAC·86 is manufactured to strict
linear specifications, which assures both excellent
decoding linearity and absolute accuracy. The multiplexer is
used both as a switch to demultiplex the output waveforms
and as a holding circuit by adding capacitance to the output
leads. One effect seen In the multiplexer is that as a channel
is switched off, there is a charge injected onto the output
This charge is not normally obvious in a MUX design,
however, when working into a high impedance (such as a
filter) and with capacitors on the source leads (outputs), the
charge can add an offset to the waveform. To minimize the
effect, a large capacitor (0.1I'F or greater) is added. Since the
charge pulse is a short duration signal, the signal on the
larger capacitor will be less affected by the charge than if a
smaller component was used.

SYSTEM TESTS
Once the encoder and decoder were functioning separately,
the entire system was connected with the appropriate interfacing to allow for full·system transmission tests. The
measurements taken were the standard set of PCM specifi·
cations observed in the majority of data sheets for telecom·
munication oriented products. These tests included signal·
to-total distortion, gain tracking, intelligible crosstalk, and
idle channel noise.
There are two different methods of performing the tests. For
the U.S. standards, a sinusoid signal is used as the channel
input and the measurements are taken around the base
(test) frequency. For the European tests, a pseudo-random
or "white" noise source is preferred as the input signal. The
test results discussed here were obtained with the U.S.
testing procedures; similar test results have been achieved
using European test methods.

In terms of a system decoder design, this circuit could be
used for more than eight channels. The op amp and DAC·
86 are both capable of responding to more output channels. An eight-channel system was incorporated to remain
compatible with the analog board that is used in the
demonstrator. In order to decode more channels (>12), the
output capacitance on the demultiplexer would need to be
reduced. The other circuit components would remain the
same.

The test set·up for signal-to-total distortion and gain tracking measurements Is shown in Figure 9. The results are
plotted in Figures 10 and 11. As is seen, each test was per·
formed with both the C-Message Weighting and the 3kHz
Flat response terminating configurations. The results using
the wlaw parts (DAC-86) are represented. In terms of signalto-total distortion, the system exceeds the recommended
standard at all input levels by 2dB or greater. The system is
also well within the recommended gain tracking limits for
both terminations.

The decoding Circuitry can be tested separately by adding a
series of data bytes and monitoring the output channels.
The CCITT recommendation for testing PCM systems includes a method of testing a decoder by introducing a standard sequence of digital data words in order to produce a
1kHz sinusoid at a nominal level of OdBmO.* This method
proved useful in "debugging" the circuit design prior to attempting the end-to-end tests.

is at the system recommended level when measured without output filtering. It is further reduced by adding a PCM

CONCLUSIONS
The circuitry just discussed is meant to represent one ap·
proach to designing an eight·channel, shared CODEC
system. It is not meant to be the only design, but provides a
working system upon which to base further engineering

The demonstrator provides a starting point from which most
characteristics important to both shared·channel and single·
channel designs can be manipulated to allow for im·
provements in transmission quality. To be able to develop a
realistic transmission design, the system engineer needs to
consider more than just the coder/decoder devices. A com·
plete multiple channel system, such as the PMI eight·
channel demonstrator, allows the user to observe the com·
plete system performance as it is affected by the individual·
system components.

FOUR·CHANNEL SHARED CODEC
by B. W. Berry

FOUR-CHANNEL SHARED CODEC
A four-channel CODEC assembled from LSI components is
a cost-effective digital transmission system requiring a
relatively small number of devices_ The system makes use
of a single COMDAC®* companded DAC-86 or DAC-87 digitalto-analog converter for both encoding and decoding (see
Figure 1). The timing of the circuitry is compatible with ATT
and CCITT system specifications.
Each channel is sampled at the standard 8kHz rate. With
four channels this allows approximately 31.2,..s to encode
the sampled analog input and to decode the received digital
signal for the same channel. To simplify the timing system
requirements equal amounts of time were allowed for encoding and decoding, thus permitting 15.6,..s for the more
critical encode portion of the cycle. The encode/decode
clocking scheme for this CODEC was incorporated directly
from a successful eight-channel CODEC system which has
been published as PMI Application Note 37. One Qriginal
feature of the four-channel design was the use of dual eightchannel multiplexer ICs to switch the four channels. This
results in a system whose interchannel crosstalk is practically negligible. Crosstalk figures of -85d8 have been
observed. This article describes the design procedure and
reviews the transmission characteristics of the completed
system.

once the sample circuit has entered the hold mode, the input multiplexer'S address is changed. This provides ample
time for the MUX to switch to the next analog input with little effect on the adjacent waveforms.

used for the first SAR clock period. The clock frequency Is
then halved to clock in the chord bits (61, 62, 63), the next
"slowest" transitions. Finally, the clock frequency Is halved

USing this timing pattern as the starting point, the original
eight-channel system was converted to a four-channel bidirectional design. The only additional control functions to
be added were the timing Signals needed to switch the
DAC·86 between the encoding and decoding modes, to
operate the output multiplexer, and to select the proper data
inputs for the DAC-86. The QAC·S6 mode select and the
multiplexer address leads, as mentioned previously, are
generated from a single system transmit/receive control
(shown as X/R in Figure 6). The lead is the system monitor of
the mode in which the CODEC Is operating. When active
(logic "1"), the DAC·86 and associated parts are in the encode mode. In the encode mode: the successive approximation register clock is enabled, the encode/decode lead to the
DAC·86 (ElD) is enabled, the data input selector directs
the SAR output back toward the DAC-86 for the feedback
needed in succ~ssive approximation, and the output MUX
connectstheOP-16toagrounded (unused) channel. TheXlR
lead remains at logic "1" until encoding is completed,then
goes to ground (logic "0"), the decode state. To decode a

channel application information. The tests include signalto-total distortion, gain tracking, intelligible crosstalk and
idle channel noise. Again the test method used for the first
two tests was based on a sinusoidal input signal, as is common in the AT&T specifications, at a frequency between 400
and 3400Hz using a frequency-selective wave analyser. The
results of all testing are shown In Figures 9 through 11.
It Is of some interest to compare this data with the test
results of the eight-channel CODEC design. In particular,
the idle channel noise and the crosstalk measurements are
improved. This can be partially explained by the different
manipulations of the output multiplexer. This does however,
tend to point to the fact that the output MUX can be a
significant source of noise and cross channel Interference.
Further data is certainly necessary, but these results do
point out an area of concentration for the system designer
wanting to improve system performance.
In terms of signal-to-total distortion and gain tracking, the
four-channel results compare favorably with the eight-

channel data and both systems exceed the AT&T requirements. Overall, the transmission tests point out that
using a Single DAC·86 for four-channel transmitting and
receiving is a realistic approach and can comply with all
" system" standards.

CONCLUSIONS
The testing described in the preceeding pages demonstrates the feasibility of encoding and decoding four channels with a single DAC.~6_· The system has several advantages: 1) a smaller number of devices are required to complete the CODEC function than were necessary for the
eight-channel design, 2) the clock circuitry (prom-based timing generator) is common to all encoders, so on)y a single
such circuit is needed for multiple CODECs. Both of these
factors contribute to reduced printed circuit board area for
multiple transmission channels. The devices needed for a
four-channel CODEC are listed In Figure 12. In terms of
package sizes only one device is larger than sixteen pins
(the DAC 86/87 is 18 pins) and three of the components are
only eight pins. This should make system layout fairly simple and allow relatively dense component packing. If channel monitoring is incorporated, then a single supervision circuit could administer several circuit packs in a system line-

up. The number of external leads is reduced in a four·
channel CODEC and the design is easily added to a bus·
structure data switching system.
The price per channel is still less than that being quoted by
single·channel CODEC designers although slightly more
than the eight·channel approach. (See pricing, Figure 13).
The sacrifice made in prlce·per·channel is offset by the
gains in system architecture and board layout offered by a
four·channel shared CODEC. The shared channel CODEC
approach is a viable solution to producing a digital
transmission system. AN-37 shows designs at even lower
per channel cost.

COMPANDING DIGITAL·TO·ANALOG
CONVERTER
by Guido Pastorino
(FROM PMI DESIGN REVIEW NOTES -1975)

INTRODUCTION
A companding digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is the key
component in PCM CODEC systems. (CODEC is an acronym
for coder-decoder.) A CODEC performs the coding functions
which consist of an analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) of
the input analog (voice) signal and decoding, which consists
of a digital-to-analog conversion (DAC) of the received
digital input.
The DAC is used for both encoding and decoding; it is in a
feedback loop to generate the ADC furlcliOns. Voice signals
in telephony r~uire a system with a very large dynamic
range. The-dynamic range (DR) of a CODEC is defined as the
ra1ie of the largest resolvable signal to the smallest signal
which can be encoded. The dynamic range of the CODEC is
the same as that of the DAC used in either the decode mode
or in the feedback loop of the successive approximation
type ADC. The dynamic range of a DAC is simply the ratio of
its output for a linear input of one least significant bit (LSB)
to that of the largest, all "1s," input. This ratio is usually expressed in decibels using the equation:
IMAX.
DR=20 IOg10-ILSB

where for a current output DAC IMAX is the output current for
all "1s" input and ILSB is the output current for one LSB input. Using this equation a linear bit DAC can be shown to
resolve a ratio of 2n:1 therefore:

2n
DR=2010g 101

pair whose input amplitude range is divided into steps of unequal widths, such that the width of the quantizing steps increase in proportion to the amplitude of the signal. To
achieve uniform signal to distortion performance a logarithmic transfer function is required. The word compand, (compand is an acronym for compress - expand) was borrowed
from analog systems to describe this non-uniform coding
system where quantizing and coding is such that step size
depends on the input amplitude.

COMPANDING PRINCIPLES
Companding requirements differ for different signal
distributions. As mentioned above, voice signals require
constant SID performance over a wide dynamic range. In
order to accomplish this the distortion must be proportional
to the signal level. This feat is best achieved by the use of a
logarithmic compression law. However, a truly logarithmic
assignment of code words is not physically possible since
this implies an infinite number of codes. Two methods for
generating practical implementations of logarithmic
transfer functions have been derived which have become industry standards. These methods are generally known by
their transfer functions which are called wlaw and A-law
respectively. Both of these transfer functions are normally
implemented with eight-bit non-linear DACs to achieve a
72dB dynamic range. This is the equivalent dynamic range
of a twelve-bit linear DAC. The wlaw and the A-law transfer
functions are described by the following equations:

",6 n

The wide dynamic range requirements of a telephone
system require the equivalent dynamic range of a 12-bit
system or 72dB. However, this system would not be satisfactory for telephone voice transmission because of its excessive bandwidth requirements. With present day T1 type
transmission systems a 64kbits/sec data rate is required to
transmit each voice channel. The use of the linear system
would increase this bit rate to 96kbits/sec. This would provide more accuracy than is needed at the expense of excessive bandwidth.
For voice systems the most important criterion is the signalto-noise ratio. In a PCM system noise is due almost entirely
to quantizing distortion. Thus, a non-linear DAC has a nonlinear transfer characteristic to compress the analog signal
into a digital word and a complementary transfer characteristic to expand the digital words into analog Signals with a
wide dynamic range. For a telephone system a CODEC requires a fairly uniform signal-to-distortion ratio over its entire dynamic range. Achieving this uniform signal-to-distortion
ratio over a wide dynamic range requires the use of nonuniform coding. A non-uniform CODEC is a coder-decoder

These laws have unique signal-to-distortion characteristics
for each value of I' and A respectively. At present ATT has
settled on a value of I' equal to 255 and CCITT specifications
use a value of A equal to 87.6. Substituting these constants

first two chords on either side of the origin have equal step
sizes, whereas, for the ,..-Iaw function, the second chord
after the origin has a step size which is double that of the
first. For all remaining chords the steps double in size for
each succeeding chord. This applies to both the wlaw and
A-law functions. For the A-law function the four chords
about the origin can be considered as a single segment so
that the A-law characteristic is sometimes referred to as being
a "13-segment" code. The A-law characteristic also differs
from the wlaw characteristic in the manner in which the
transfer function crosses the origin. The X-axis origin for the
,..-Iaw is at "mid-step" while the X-axis origin for the A-law is
coincident with a "riser". This can be understood better
from the "blow-ups" about the origin of Figures 2 and 3.

The practical implementation of the two transfer functions
is accomplished by standardized piece-wise linear approximations. The transfer functions are implemented in chords
or segments where the transfer function within anyone
chord is a linear staircase. Each chord has sixteen steps
and the size of the step In each succeeding chord is double
the size of the step in the preceeding chord. There are nor·
mally eight chords numbered zero through seven in both
,..-Iaw and A-law characteristics. For the A-law function the

In order to obtain the best implementations 'of the transfer
function, companded DACs are constructed such that encode and decode functions are offset by one-half step. With
this technique the quantizing band for the encode DAC will
be centered about the decode value. This can be seen in
Figure 4, where the wlaw characteristics about the origin
are shown. (The A-law characteristics would be identical except for the "mid-riser" phenomena at the origin.) As an example suppose that, for Figure 4, an analog input whose
amplitude lies between levels 2 and 4 is being encoded. The
best quantizing code to assign to this entire quantizing
band Is its mean value of 3. Thus the DAC used in the suc-

of necessity, be centered about the decoder output values.
The end result Is that a DAC used for decoding must be offset one·half step from the DAC used for encoding. This
situation must exist over the entire range of the CODEC. A
transmission system implemented with companding DACs
is shown in Figure 5.

This output will eventually end up at the positive (IOE+ or

a binary "0". The encode·decode switch ElD determines

Each companding DAC can be programmed to operate as
either an encoder or a decoder by properly programming thE!
ElD pin. The encode mode is offset one·half step from the
decode mode by means of the current generator which is

amplifier establishes the current reference for the current

A better understanding of the COMDAC® circuitry is ob·
tained by reviewing the previously discussed piece-wise
linear approximation of the companding DAC transfer function to the desired wlaw or A·law transfer functions. Each
chord or segment consists of 16 steps numbered from 0 to
15. The size of the steps double in size from one chord to the
next as the number of the chord increases. The chords are
numbered 0 to 7. In order to smooth out the characteristics
during the transition from one chord to the next, the step
current for step 0 of each chord is 1·1/2 times larger than the
current of the highest step of the chord immediately
preceding it. The succeeding 15 steps (steps 1 to 15) are
then two times the size of the steps of this previous chord.
These characteristics can be examined in Figure 7.
To implement the transfer function, the first chord (N = 0)
uses 16 equal steps each of whose size, 10 is 1116 of chord
current source Ico for A·law, or 1/16.5 of current source Ico

for wlaw. The next chord, N = 1, must begin at Ico + 1.51 0 for
both A-law or wlaw. Another way of saying this is that chord
N = 1 begins 16.5 steps from the origin. In order to accomplish this a pedestal current must be directed toward
the output whose magnitude is equal to Ico + 1.51 0. Chord C2
begins at Ico+ 1.51 0 + IC1 + 1.51 1 and ends at Ico+ 1.51 0 + IC1

into the chord selector from the step generator is equal to
16.5 step currents (16.0 steps for A·law) where a step current
is equal to the current step caused by changing the least
significant bit in the chord of interest. Note that this
satisfies the requirement of the equation for pedestal current IpN. The step generator has the ability to sum current IE
into the output mode to provide the one·half step offset required when the system is operating in the encode mode.
This one·half step offset current is controlled by the EID pin.
The system is in the encode mode when the E/D pin is biased
to a binary "1".

shown in Figure 8, which operates in the following manner:
the reference amplifier sets the bias current for the chord
generator by means of IC7 which is a current mirror whose
output is equal to 2I REF . Next, due to the operation of an
R -2R ladder which is described in a following paragraph,
Ice is made equal to one-half IC7 and is therefore equal to
IREF· IC5 is made equal to one-half Ice and so forth. From IC3
down to Ico a slave ladder is used rather than an R -2R lad·
der but the results are the same. The chord currents double
in size progressing from Ico to IC7 respectively (for A·law
however IC1 Ico). The chord selector is programmed from
the 1 of 8 decoder so that the chord identified by binary
chord number N on leads 9 1 to 9 3 will switch ICN to the step
generator. All other chord currents are switched to the
pedestal selector. The pedestal selector is programmed
from the same 1 of 8 chord decoder such that chords 10 to
IN -1 are switched to the pedestal selector output in order to
generate pedestal current IpN. All other chord currents are
switched to ground so that a pedestal current equal to the
sum of the chord currents from Ico to IC(N -1) will be directed
to the output current switch matrix as IpN. The ICN flowing

right sinks one-half the current of the transistor to its immediate left. For the wlaw chord current generator OSB is
simply diode connected such that the chord current for
chord Co is roughly one-half the current of chord C1. For the
A-law chord current generator, however, the collectors of
transistors OSA and OSB are tied together so that Ico is exactly equal to IC1 . The currents flow to the chord current
generator from an array of bipolar single pole double throw
switches labeled "chord selector" in Figure 8. The actual
switches are not shown in this paper.

The chord current generator circuit is shown in Figure 10.
This circuit is the implementation of the chord current
generator previously discussed. 0 0 is forced to operate at
the reference input current IREF and 0 1, with an emitter
resistor one-half the size of the emitter resistor of 0 0, will
then operate at 2I REF . 02 through 0 4 will operate at progressively smaller currents where each transistor operates
at one-half the current of the transistor to its immediate left.
To review this normal R -2R current-ladder function notice
that 04A and 04B operate at equal currents and that the sum
of their currents is equal to that of one transistor with an
emitter resistor equal to R. When the series resistor R is added
to the junction of the emitter resistors of 04A and 04B the
current of 0 3 will be forced to equal the sum of the 04A and
04B currents. Thus 04A current equals one-half the 03 current. Now the current from 04A, 04B and 0 3 must all flow
through the next series resistor R. This current is equal to
twice that of 0 3; therefore it is easy to compute that the O2
current is twice that of the 0 3. The same reasoning may be
used to proceed down the ladder to show that each transistor in the ladder sinks twice the current of the transistor
on its immediate right. The slave ladder consisting of Os
through OSA and OSB continues to halve currents for each
transistor proceeding to the right. However this part of the
chord current generator uses scaled resistors instead of the
R -2R ladder technique. Since 04B sinks constant current
from the slave ladder, and since all the current must flow
through the scaled emitter resistors, then the curent
through each transistor must be inversely proportional to
the size of its emitter resistor. By examination of the slave
ladder it can be seen that each transistor proceeding to the

The Step Current Generator is shown in Figure 11. Again the
single pole double throw switches which connect the step
generator to the output current matrix as shown in the companding DAC functional diagram are not represented. The
step generator is connected to the chord selector which
sinks ICN. Ratioed emitters are used to divide the current.
The largest emitter is 16 times the size of the smallest emitter and therefore sinks 16 times the current. The A-law step
generator differs from the wlaw step generator in that each
chord begins with a riser instead of a step. This also applies
to the origin, therefore one-half step of current flows
(decode mode) even when ihe binary input to the step
generator is "0". Step switches controlled directly by the
binary code connect the appropriate collectors of the step
current generator transistors to the output current matrix.
For both A-law and wlaw devices ICN is one of the pedestal
currents. The difference is that for the A-law device the
pedestal current is equal to 16 steps whereas, for the wlaw,
the pedestal current is equal to 16.5 steps.

The numbers in these tables are directly proportional to the
Input reference current. However the exact relationship is
somewhat complicated_ A reference current of 528,.A for the
wlaw DAC will produce a step size of O_5,.A thus, for the
wlaw device driven by a reference current of 528,.A, it is only

necessary to multiply all the numbers In the normalized
tables by one-half step or O.25,.A to obtain the output in ,.AThe table tabulated below corresponds to a 528,.A

Reviewing the companding DAC functional diagram Figure
8 demonstrates the relationship between step size and IREF'
For a ,...Iaw device leo equals 16.5 chord zero steps and for
an A-law device leo equals 16 chord zero steps. Ice is always
equal to IREF in either system. IC6 Is then equal to 64 times
leo for a ,...Iaw system, and 32 times leo for an A-law system.
The step size can then be related to IREF by the following
equations:
step size
step size

=IREF/64 X 16.5 =IREF/1056 Vt-Iaw)
=IREF/32 X 16 =IREF/512 (A-law)

DAC ACCURACY
Companding DACs must be manufactured to satisfy a unique
set of parameters. The performance of a companded DAC
used for telephony must satisfy the requirements of a communication system on an end-to-end basis. A voice channel
is first encoded by one CODEC then decoded by a second
CODEC such that the system performance can be
measured on an audio-In-audio-out basis. The CODEC performance will be almost completely dominated by the Gain
Tracking requirement.
GAIN TRACKING

Now for a reference current of 528~ the step size for a ,...Iaw
system is 52811056 or 0.5~. For a reference current of
512~ the step size for an A-law system is 512/512 or 1.0~.
These values concur with those used to generate the tables.
In the design of the PMI DAC-87 the biasing resistors were
not scaled to exactly integer values. This was done
deliberately to standardize somewhat on 528~ input
reference current for both A-law and ,...Iaw parts. The performance of the device is not affected, however the actual
scaling Is somewhat complicated and will not be discussed
in this paper.
Finally if encode output tables were desired for current output they could be obtained by scaling to proper step size the
normalized encode tables or adding one-half step to each
value in the decode table, where the step size depends on
the chord number.

Gain Tracking refers to the ability of a system to track Its input power level. The test is normally made with a system
such as that shown in Figure 12.
Gain Tracking Is measured by monitoring the input and output levels In decibels. At an Input level of -10BmO the output Is recorded as the output reference level. For ideal Gain
Tracking, any change (In dB) of the input level must be
matched exactly by the same change in the output level.

(again in dB) is a measure of Gain Tracking, also referred to
as gain deviation. The ATTID3 Gain Tracking specification is

POWER LEVELS
For PCM channel performance measurements, power levels
are characteristically expressed in dBmO. A reference level
of OdBmO is established by referencing to a code in the
digital transmission. The binary code pattern required to
establish a reference level of OdBmO can be found in the
CCITT publications. This pattern is reproduced in the PMI
Telecommunications Handbook for the readers convenience. The constant repetition of these binary numbers at
the normal sampling rate of 8kHz will produce a 1kHz
sinusoid at a OdBmO reference level. Starting with this
definition it can then be shown that a sinusoid whose peak
value is just at the system saturation level (all "1s" PCM
output) will have a power level of 3.14 and 3.17dBmO for
A-law and wlaw respectively.

and an RMS reading voltmeter at the output. Gain Tracking
masks equivalent to those found in CCITT publications are
shown in Figure 14.

Signal-to-Distortion is a measure of the total distortion a
system will exhibit on an end-to-end basis. As with Gain
Tracking this measurement is normally performed on an
audio-ta-audio basis. A typical setup for measuring Signalto-Distortion is shown in Figure 15. A wideband (3kHz) filter
may be substituted for the C-Message filter shown for some
tests.

Figure 13. ATT/D3 Gain Tracking Specification

CCITT publishes two separate specifications for Gain Tracking. The apparatus used for making either of these tests is
basically the same as that used in Figure 13 except that for
the first part of the "method one" test the HP3551A would
be replaced with a suitable white noise source at the input

Figure 16 shows the ATT/D3 specification mask with the
performance of a PMI demonstration COMDAC@ based
shared CODEC system superimposed. This method of measuring Signal-to-Distortion is applicable to either CCITT or
ATT specifications.

Figure 5. 12·Bit ADC Block Diagram
Once the DAC interface program has initialized all software
counters and the PPI counter data is placed on the data bus
and latched into the PPI and DAC's. The third step in the
software development is to decrement the C register and loop
to START until the counter is at zero. The MSB registers (B
and D) are then decremented. The C counter is counted down
16 times for each single count down in the Band D register
(Table 2). Since the LSB counter starts with 16 and the (2)
MSB counters begin with 256, the total count is therefore: 16
X 256 = 4096 (or 12 Bits). Each output ramps from a to +10
volts in approximately 170 J1sec (at 2 MHz clockrate).

ADC 12·BIT INTERFACE
An ADC interface is vital for entering analog information into
an 8080. Because of its popularity the Successive
Approximation technique is discussed here. Successive
Approximation Conversion (SAC) can be performed with
either hardware or software. The software approach will be
described later.

Although some microprocessors now have ADC's on the chip,
a discrete Analog·to·Digital Function still out·performs on·
board versions in almost every department. Accuracy and
speed, the two crucial parameters in ADC design, lead de·
signers to circuits such as that shown in Figure 5.
To start the conversion a negative going pulse is applied at the
Successive Approximation Register (SAR) by the enable of the
SC gate. A low on ADRFI at the same time that the Memory
Write (MWTC/) line goes low, resets a Flip·Flop (F/F) to start
conversion. The F IF is synchronized by the system clock (re·
fer to Figure 6 and Table 3a).
Since the ADC looks like memory to the J1P it must be
assigned memory locations.

After "start conversion" the /lP waits 20 /lsec for a conversion
complete CC signal. This delay is accomplished by a software
loop seen in Table 3b.
The software delay monitors the LSB data bus line which
becomes active when CC goes low signifying end of conver·
sian. The system clock period is about 1.6 /lsec. Therefore,
a 12·Bit conversion takes:
1.6/lsec X 12 = 19.2/lsec

The use of an interrupt would be more efficient because the
/lP would not have to "Poll" or "Wait" for the CC signal.
However, interrupts can cause confusion and will not be
described at this time. After conversion is complete, the digital
result is stored in register pair Band C (Figure 7).
The ADC timing diagram (Figure 8) shows 12 clock cycles
starting on the first positive edge after SC comes up. Notice

plications, in many instances, require multiple sensing of ana·

Basically, the tlP sends out four signals: (1) to select a chan·
nel in the Multiplexer, (2) select voltage range in the Amplifier, (3) a hold or sample command to the Sample/Hold, (4)
and a start conversion command to the ADC.
A unique type of Analog-to-Digital Conversion, using a software SAR technique, is illustrated in Figure 10. Many applications do not require very fast conversion times and for that
reason choosing software SAR, in place of a hardware SAR,
reduces system cost. This design with DAC, MUX, S/H and
SMP sells for less than $20 (excluding digital components).

System Description
Eight analog inputs ranging from 0 to 10 volts are connected
to the Multiplexer (MUX). The MUX is selected by activating
ADRF/. Once the Memory Write MWTC/ goes low, the MUX
address in the JlP accumulator is latched to the 8212 (Figure
11). The analog input selected is fed through the MUX and
sampled by the Sample and Hold Amplifier (S/H). Notice the
deletion of the Programmable Instrumentation Amplifier. If
ranging is required, a simple resistance programmable amplifier
can be used (Figure 12).

A NOP instruction is inserted in the program after the MUX
address selection to hold the processor for 2 Jlsec during the
MUX settling time (refer to Table 4). Acquisition time of the
S/H is 3.5 Jlsec and th is delay is provided by the software
during addressing. The analog signal is held while the program
goes to ADCON (or the start of conversion). Registers Band
C combine to act as a SAR during the software ADC portion
of the program."
Since the DAC-03's settling time is 1.5 Jlsec, the address bus
must stay active (low) for this time. This circuit operates off
the MDS Internal Acknowledge Signal. For faster throughputs a 2 Jlsec delay, once MRDC/ goes low, should be executed at the XACK/ (MDS Acknowledge) pin.
Register D stores the MUX address in the S/H Sample Mode,
while the E register simply contains the Hold Command and
MUX address. Both registers are decremented from eight to
zero. Channel S7 is converted first and the Digital Data stored
in Memory Location 2008. The program loops around eight
times. Each time the JNZ START instruction tests the MUX
counter for zero. After eight channels have been converted
and stored, the program halts. This results in channels S8
through 51 being stored in Memory Locations 2008 through
2001 respectively.
HIGH SPEED 8-CHANNEL, 12-BIT DAS
Applications requiring fast throughputs such as a High-Speed
Data Acquisition system, must resort to the hardware SAR
in place of software SAR. Though throughputs as high as
50,000 channels per second are possible, 15,000 channels per
second (to 12-Bit accuracy) is more realistic when processor
time is included.

As in the previous DAS, this system (Figure 13) utilizes a
preciSion MUX, SIH, DAC, comparator and digital components. For simplicity purposes, only an 8-channel system will
be described. This system is expandable to 40 channels using
five MUX-08's or to 64 channels using four MUX-16's. Further
expansion is possible by inserting a 1 of 8 decoder between
the latch and MUX as seen in Figure 14.
Since emphasis is on speed, consistent with 1 LSB accuracy
and 1/2 LSB linearity, the software has only 21 instructions
consuming 37 bytes of memory. It takes 83 Jlsec to complete
initialization, single-channel conversion and data storage in
memory (see Table 5).
SYSTEM SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE DESCRIPTION
Again, the MUX is addressed and an analog channel selected.
The analog signal is held by the S/H and sent to a 12-Bit ADC
for conversion. The label BEGIN starts initialization, setting
the D/E register pair and the Stack Pointer (SP). START
addresses the MUX and 5tH. Start conversion (STCON) in sofware) begins with a low at SC then loops in DELAY waiting
for conversion complete CC. The instruction LH LD 8001
loads both Hand L Registers with the 2-byte ADC word.
This word is pushed onto the stack by the instruction PUSH H.
MUX counters D and E are then decremented and the program loops back to START for the next analog channel. Eight
channels are stored in Memory at locations 2000 through
200F (see Figure 15).

hardware versus software trade·off is critical because software
development generally costs at least $10 per line of code. Of
course, large production quantities can amortize software costs
over a high volume of units.

On the other hand, DAC requirements do not have software
trade·offs, but speed is again proportional to cost.
The DAS described here has shown only multiplexed
techniques. However, dedicated ADC·per·channel types can
also be implemented. Though the multiplexed DAS version is
slower, it is also less expensive.
Both the ADC and the DAS, when interfaced to transducers,
should be five to ten times more accurate than the sensor.
Transducers generally range in accuracy from 0.05% to 5%. As
an example, a 12 bit (0.012% or Yo LSB) converter should be
selected for a transducer exhibiting 0.1 % accuracy so as not to
introduce further error in the system.
In conclusion, the D/A converters flexibility in microprocessor
input and output applications was emphasized.

CONCLUSION
The interface circuits discussed herein were designed around
the 8080 Microbus and MDS (also Single 80ard Computer SBC
80/10) bus. Memory Mapping was used exclusively to increase
software speed and add flexi bil ity to I/O control operations.
Many designers are under the impression that in Data
Converters speed is the sole figure of merit. But the
Speed·versus·Cost Trade·Off must be considered. Speed is
directly proportional to cost. The software SAR technique has
speed advantages over Integrating, Voltage·to·Frequency and
Tracking types of ADC, but prices are generally higher. The

APPENDIX I
There are many bus structures in use today. In the interest
of brevity and clarity only Intel's Microbus and Intellec MDS
or SBC 80 (also called MULTIBUS) will be described here.
Both the Microbus and MU L TI BUS structures are divided into
address, data and control. The MUL TlBUS, however, utilizes
inverted buffers throughout fo; ease of interface. On the

MULTIBUS, many extras are found in the control section to
provide "Handshake" functions. Eight lines of priority inter·
rupts are also added features that distinguish the MUL TlBUS.
In reality the Microbus is internal to a MUL TIBUS system.
Conversely, the Microbus can be expanded to duplicate the
MUL TIBUS if required. The following table and figure fur·
ther show these differences.

Software controlled Analog·to·Digital Conversion offers a
medium·speed, low·cost way to convert analog signals with
less hardware. This technique applies the Successive Approx·
imation method, whereby the analog input is compared to
an analog output of the D/A converter one bit at a time. The
DAC is programmed by a microporcessor. This j,lP tests the
comparators output each ti me the DAC's output changes.
When the analog input and DAC output are equal, the digital
count at the DAC is stored in memory. The resultant digital
count is then the equivalent analog input (see the software
ADC flow diagram).

PMI

SUCCESSIVE APPROXIMATION REGISTER
DESIGN FOR MULTI·CHANNEL CODEC'S
by Guido Pastorino

INTRODUCTION
This Application Note describes a low cost, high speed
Successive Approximation Register (SAR) design for use
with 24-channel or 32-channel encoders. It is implemented
with standard MSI functions which are available in several
processes: T2L, Low Power Schottky, etc. The functions
are also available in CMOS, although CMOS is only fast
enough to encode 4 channels or less. The system is optimized for use with PMI COMDAC® DAC-86/87 D/A converter in conjunction with the CMP-01 precision voltage
comparator and REF-01 voltage reference. This design of
fers a low-cost alternative to the 2502 LSI SAR by sharing a
common system timing circuit over all the encoders (usually 2 or 3) used in a 24 or 32 channel system.

determined, the EID input is changed to a logic "1", allowing current to flow into IOE{ +) or IOE{ -) depending upon
the sign bit answer.
For positive inputs, current flows into IOE{ +) through Rl ,
and the comparator's output will be entered as the answer
for each successive decision. For negative inputs current
flows into IOE{ - ) through R2, developing a negative voltage
which is compared with the analog Input. An exclusive-OR
gate inverts the comparator output during negative trials to
maintain the proper logic coding, all ones for full scale and
all zeros for zero scale. However, the exclusive-OR gate
must not invert the signal during the sign bit decision,
hence the need for the second exclusive-OR gate and the
additional D flip flop in the 2502 LSI SAR encoder.

First, the traditional encoding procedure using the 2502
LSI SAR is explained. Next, the improved method described here will be discussed and compared with the 2502
method.

The successive removal technique requires the first decision to be made at the code 01111111, sequentially turning
off all bits until all decisions have been made.

TRADITIONAL ENCODING METHOD

Traditional encoding systems begin the encode cycle by
setting the binary input at 01111111. This is because LSI
SARs are not designed to accommodate a DAC that Is implemented in a sign-magnitude configuration.

An encoding sequence begins with the sign bit comparison and decision. During this time the comparator is a
polarity detector only. The Encode/Decode (E/D) input is
held at a logic "0". Therefore, no current flows into the encode outputs, and the comparator is effectively disconnected from the DAC. Once the input polarity has been

IMPROVED ENCODING METHOD
For the sign-magnitude configuration such as the
COMDAC® DAC-86/87 system, the Initial setting of
10111111 performed by the SAR described here allows the

follows.

I 2.5

The start conversion pulse S occurs just before positivegOing clock edge C as shown on the SAR waveforms. The
74164 shift register will have all outputs at the 1.0 level
so long as the circuit has been operating for eight or more
clock pulses. With S high the OR gate will continue to input a logic one into the shift register on every pulse. With
all inputs at logic one the 7430 eight input NAND gate will
have a zero output, thus the S signal going low will cause
the next clock pulse Cg to clock a zero into the shift
register output aS B which becomes the leading edge of
negative-going pulse ESB. Now one Input lead to the 7430 is
a zero and the output of the NAND gate goes to logic one.
The zero propagates down the shift register appearing on
outputs aSB to a 7 In succession, keeping the NAND gate
output at logic one. Because of the OR gate this logic one
is clocked repeatedly into the shift register outputs from
aSB to a7. The cycle will not repeat if S is not held low for
longer than 8 clock cycles; however, the actual duration of
the S pulse is not Important so long as It does not cause

the first clock edge after S goes low the SAR is set to

exciusive-OR gate is in the proper non-invert mode while
the sign bit is generated. E1 goes low just as ESB goes high.
No 1'1 signal is needed since FF1 was set low during the initial setting. The rising edge of ESB puts the DAC-86/87
back into the encode mode. The DAC internal circuit has
been settling to the X0111111 magnitude output since the
first clock after S went low, so the rising edge of E1 will
clock the most significant bit of the quantized signal into
FF1. The remainder of the conversion proceeds as follows:
1'2 resets FF2 and the rising edge of E2 clocks the second
most significant bit into FF2.1'3 resets FF3 and the rising
edge of E3 clocks t!!e sec~d most significant bit into FF3
and so on through T7 and E7.

SINGLE SUPPLY OPERATION
OF PMI MULTIPLEXERS
by Shelby D. Givens

INTRODUCTION
In addition to normal operation (+ /- supplies), the PMI
family of BIFET multiplexers (MUX-08/88, MUX-24, MUX-16,
and MUX-28) performs quite well in single supply systems.
This Application Note explains single supply operation as
it applies to BIFET and CMOS multiplexers. Common requirements are in battery-operated systems and in microprocessor-based, single supply data acquisition systems.
BIFET and CMOS devices are compared for RON variation
versus power supply voltage (Vs), then settling times.

PLEXERS OPERATE LINEARLY WITH SIGNALS LESS
THAN ZERO VOLTS!

BIFET VARIATION OF RON WITH Vs (MUX·08)
Figure 2 shows the test circuit and defines the test com;!itions (MUX"()8). Figure 3 shows the performance of a
MUX-OB driving a 1~n load. The positive voltage should be
1.10V and the negative voltage should be -O.4V. The
reason for the output voltages being less (magnitude) than
the above Is due to the RON of the multiplexer switches.
Curves 1 and 2 show that RON does not vary as Vs varies
from + 5V to + 15V.

Figure 1 shows single supply connections for the entire
PMI BIFET multiplexer family. Each multiplexer handles 0
to +10V signals with a +15V supply. The signal range is conservatively rated to be (Vs-4V) as a maximum, and zero

The CMOS multiplexer (connected as shown in Figure 4)
DOES show a variation in RON as Vs is varied from + 6V to
+ 15V. This is evidenced by the curves shown in Figure 5.
Note that while the positive peak voltages in Figure 3 are
the same for both curves, the peaks differ in Figure 5.
One very important consideration when choosing a multi·
plexer is the non-linearity (or distortion) introduced by the
switch when it is ON. What is important is the CHANGE in
RON which occurs because of external variations such as
power supplies. In particular, the variation in RON shown in
Figure 3 is 148 ohms. The RON at Vs = + 6V is 1000 ohms,

the input voltage levels. Note that MUX-08 does just that,
while the CMOS multiplexer does not reach the final value.

while its value at Vs = + 15V is only 852 ohms. A change of
148 ohms represents a 1.48% error if the load resistor is

lot of single supply applications are), distortion due to
power supply variations is generally not acceptable.

CMOS VS. BIFET - EFFECT OF RON
ON SETTLING TIME
Figure 6 defines the test conditions used for the BIFET and
CMOS multiplexer curves shown in Figure 7. In this case,

The problem is settling time, and occurs because the RON
of the CMOS device is considerably larger than the MUX-08
(852 ohms as opposed to 250 ohms). A final note concerns
the fact that the multiplexers are switching signals at 400
mV below ground with no distortion.

CONCLUSION
The information presented has shown how BIFET multiplexers handle analog inputs in single supply systems,
with RON independent of power supply variations, and with
fast settling time.

APPLICATION NOTE 33
A GUIDE TO HYBRID INTEGRATED
CIRCUIT DESIGN
by Mike Parsin

INTRODUCTION

Conductive Epoxy

This application note is a guide to the design and development of thin and thick film hybrid microcircuits. To aid the
hybrid designer, emphasis is placed on assembly techniques
and general design rules to avoid common design problems.

When attaching die to the substrate, conductive silver-filled
epoxies are excellent choices for precision low drift circuit
applications. PMI recommends Ablebond 36-2, Ablefilm
ECF 550, EPO-TEK H31, or DuPont 5504 epoxies. Cure durations and temperatures are low, generally one hour at
125°C. Assembly temperatures are critical because Beta
degradation and film resistivity change are directly proportional to heat and duration. Film changes can be expected
when temperatures exceeding 3OQ°C are approached
(temperature at which films are heat treated). Heat treat is
very important to film stabilization. Monolithic dice are
susceptible to temperature, as previously mentioned. The
degree of susceptibility is dependent on lot and the
manufacturer's process. Common parameters affected
because of temperatures are gain, input offset voltage, and
input bias current.

The importance of choosing the proper assembly method,
for a particular application, is discussed. Assembly techniques include substrate and die attach methods, wire bond
alternative, and sealing practices. Common design pitfalls
associated with dice, films, conductors, and layout are also
discussed.

ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
Hybrid assembly is divided into four steps:
1. Substrate attachment to the package.
2. Die attachment to the package.
3. Wire bonding die to substrate.

WIRE BONDING ALTERNATIVES

4. Package sealing.

There are four methods used in attaching die metalization
to the substrate conductor or package beam:

Correct selection of the methods used for the steps above is
essential for cost effectiveness, and, in some cases, proper
circuit operation. Although these operations may not seem
important on the surface, methods must be chosen to provide the required quality and meet the specifications.

1. Chip and Wire (most common)
2. Flip Chip Beam Tape
3. Beam Lead
4. Chip Carrier

ATIACHMENT PROCEDURES
Chip and Wire

Eutectic Attach
Eutectic-alloy bond is the method used by PMI for standard
IC products because it is more cost effective than epoxy. It
is a metal attach which is accomplished by heating the substrate and die until a "wetting" action takes place. The die
is then placed in contact with the substrate. This results in
an excellent shear strength attachment. Gold backing is
recommended for hybrid construction.
Both substrate to package and die to substrate attachment
can be performed by the eutectic method. Although less expenSive, this metal attach requires temperatures in excess
of 300°C to wet the gold for proper attachment. Eutectic
type of bonding is generally recommended for digital applications or low component count hybrid packaging.

Chip and wire is the most common method of bonding the
die to an electrical conductor (see Figure 1). Types of wire
bonders include thermocompression, thermosonic and
ultrasonic. Thermocompression bonding is fast, and usually
gold wire is used. Cutting through the oxide on the metalization is sometimes a problem though. Ultrasonic wire bonding solves the oxide problem by a scrubbing action that cuts
through it. The disadvantage of ultrasonic bonding is that
the angle of the machine's wedge to the bonding pad can
cause problems in multi-die packaging. UltrasoniC, however,
is ideal for monolithic IC manufacturers, where only one or
possibly two die are in a package. The thermosonic method

Non-Conductive Epoxy Attachment
Epoxy is recommended for high precision applications
because linear monolithic dice and film resistors can be affected by excessive temperatures. For substrate attach, a
non-conductive, low out-gassing, film type epoxy, such as
Ablefilm 517, is suggested. Film epoxies can also be used
for die attach.

E

is a combination of ultrasonic and thermocompression
bond which uses heat, pressure, and scrubbing to give the
best of both techniques.
Although PMI uses aluminum ultrasonic bonding on all of
its products, hybrid manufacturers have generally found
gold wire thermosonic to be more cost effective for hybrids.

Flip Chip Beam Tape
The flip chip on tape is another method of bonding die to a
substrate (Figure 2).
"Bumps," constructed of copper or other conductive
material, are deposited as part of the metalization. The die
is then flipped over and eutectically attached to conductors
on the tape. During hybrid assembly the tape is bonded to
the substrate in a single operation.

PACKAGE SEALING
Epoxy
Film precut epoxies such as ABLEFILM 517A and 550 are
commonly used for sealing hybrid packages. Although an
epoxy seal can be hermetic, this type of seal has been
known to leak after a period of time. PMI does not recommend epoxy for high reliability applications. Film epoxy is
an excellent low temperature (165·C cure) sealing method
suggested for thin film commercial data conversion applications. Epoxy seals are usually used with Epoxy Band
Ceramic packages.

Glass Seal
Used with ceramic and side-brazed packages, glass seal is
a high temperature operation, in excess of 400·C. As mentioned previously, heat treat for films occurs at this
temperature, and film change is possible. In applications
where absolute resistance is not nearly as critical as
resistor tracking, the problem is not as severe, since
resistors change together. PMI uses glass sealing and
recommends it for high reliability applications.

Braze and Welding Sealing
Braze sealing is performed on a welding machine using a
gold-tin or solder preform between the package and lid.
Sealing temperatures are restricted to the sealing rim only.
The pure weld seal (metal to metal) is another excellent seal
but requires much higher sealing temperatures. However,
as in brazing, the temperature is localized at the weld only.
Brazing and welding are used with all-metal Kovar packages
and are excellent for high reliability applications. Welding is
ideal for space applications because a braze seal can
possibly introduce contaminates into the package from the
preform.

SUBSTRATE

Figure 2. Flip Chip Beam Tape Attach
Beam Lead Bonding
The beam lead technique basically has the lead (which is
approximately a 10·mil beam) connected to the metalization
at wafer fabrication. A single attach operation combines
both die and wire attach (Figure 3). This method is not used
much in industry today.

BEAMS

This section deals with typical problems that arise because
of improper design. Care must be taken in hybrid design
because problems such as ground noise, ground loops,
crosstalk, gain errors, and high temperature tracking errors
can result. These problems can be substantially reduced
with proper resistor placement, conductor or resistor line
widths, layout, and film selection.

Chip Carrier
The chip carrier is a miniature, lead less package intended
mainly to increase package density. This carrier contains
the tested Ie attached usually with chip and wire and eutectic
or epoxy bond. The carrier can then be attached (or reflow
soldered) to a Dual·in-Line motherboard or Hybrid.

AVOIDING PROBLEMS IN HYBRID CIRCUIT
DESIGN

Consider the summing amplifier circuit in Figure 4 where
RA , Rs, and Rc must track the feedback resistor R1. Layout
is critical, so R1 should be located as close as possible to
RA , Rs, and Rc for best TCR tracking and minimum gain error. The sum node is a high impedance point and is susceptible to crosstalk and noise pickup. This node should be
isolated with a ground ring if possible. A low TCR thin film
such as nickel-chromium or silicon-chrome is recommended
to reduce tracking errors between the resistors. The ground
should be an analog ground with no digital ground returns
on it which would introduce noise.

16·BIT DAC DESIGN EXAMPLE
High resolution D/A converters are ideal for thin film hybrid
designs. Figure 5 illustrates a 16·bit converter using four active
ICs for current output and five dice for the voltage version.

FILMS AND CONDUCTORS
The hybrid designer should be aware of pitfalls where film
and conductors are concerned. The gold conductor, like the
film reSistor, can cause many problems and should be con·
sidered as a possible source of error.

AA
INPUTS
A8

OUTPUT

Films can be either thick or thin, but there are many other
characteristics that must be considered when selecting a
film (see Table 1).
The substrate material can also determine TCR tracking. A
smooth surface, such as silicon or glass, is excellent for
resistor tracking. Silicon substrates dissipate power better
than glass; however, stray capacitance Is higher on the
silicon surface. PMI uses silicon·chrome film sputtered on
silicon.
Thick film is an excellent choice for general purpose ap·
plications. This film varies with paste and firing temperatures however. The thick film process applies the "Inked"
resistance by silk-screening to a ceramic substrate. This
technique is advantageous in high power and in most circuits where TC is not critical.

Figure 4. Summing Amplifier Layout
Resistor placement is again very important. Reference
resistors RA and RA1 , must be adjacent to Re for proper
tracking. Also, Rlo R2, R3, R4 should be located close to
RSPAN for minimum gain TC error. Low TC films are used
(see Table 1).

Gold conductors introduce 0.01 ohms per square (aiD) to as
much as 0.1 III 0 resistivity. A long, narrow line width results
in a high resistance. Gold bonding wires, one mil In
diameter, can Introduce 2 milliohm per mil Ii-inch of resistance. Also, gold conductors typically have temperature
coefficients of about +30ooppm/·C which should not be
overlooked. It is recommended that the conductor be short
and as wide as possible.

CONCLUSION

The parallel conductor "capacitor effect" should be considered when designing high speed circuits (see Figure 6).

This application note has described problems and solutions
associated with assembly as well as physical design. Proper circuit operation at the breadboard level does not
always guarantee hybrid operation. Layout, selection and
design of film resistors, and design of conductors can be
critical.
Wire bonding such as ultrasonic and thermosonic are
reliable bonding methods because they scrub through
metalization oxide. Epoxy die attach and package sealing
are useful where low temperature assembly is required.
Remember, temperatures in excess of 300·C can cause dice
and film electrical changes.

DIELECTRIC ISOLATION

Pressure or strain during die attachment or wire bond can
also cause parameter change which is usually catastrophic.
A punch-through problem is very common to thermocompression wire bonding. This problem occurs when the ball
bond pierces or pushes the aluminum metalization down
through the silicon or active portion of the die. Chips can
also be strained when eutectic or epoxy die attach causes
unbalanced stress effects.

In conclusion, the hybrid designer must be aware that
hybrid operations and processes are not all the same. Selection of methods to be used is important.

MONOLITHIC INTEGRATED CIRCUIT

BIBLIOGRAPHY

The monolithic die can be damaged by excessive
temperature or pressure. Temperature can cause Beta
degradation, but also has some good effects. Low temperatures, around 125·C for long durations, can cause
parameter shifts evidenced by a power burn-in operation.
Power burn-in does stabilize active devices much in the
same way as a temperature bake reduces film change.

Applications of this circuit are many and varied. They range
from auto-tare digital scales where the tare button is pushed
to subtract the weight of the empty container ("tare" weight)
from subsequent weighings to push-button zeroing to cancel non-ideal transducer and signal conditioning offsets.
The use of the circuit configuration depicted here allows the

The approach described in Figure 6 is implemented in the
circuit of Figure 7 which presents a DPM with differential
input capability to perform analog subtraction at the ADC.
The DAC-20 adds null correction to the last two LSDs of the
depicted 4-1/2 digit DPM. A latch stores the null "word"
which is loaded during the push button nulling phase (the
taring phase for scales). The DAC output, proportional to
this word, is subtracted atthe input ofthe DPM until the latch
is either cleared or a new null word is entered. No pot
adjustments are needed and the adjustment required is
simply reduced to the pushing of a single button.

The nulling circuit is able to handle bipolar offsets by providing an initial zero offset of 112 of the DAC·20's range. This
is achieved by biasing the current output of the DAC with a
positive constant current from the current regulator diode
CR430. Combined with the 100 resistor, the correction cir·
cult can null offsets of up to ±5mV in 100,..V steps.

analog output to the analog meter (0 to 1mAl.

In those applications where a sign-magnitude BCD code Is
required, an external switch can provide the sign-bit control
of the current. This Is shown In Figure 8.

The meter reads only magnitude, not sign. The sign of the
digital display must be viewed for polarity determination.
Although the DPM is a 4-112 digit Instrument (the 112 digit
gives 100% overranging), the analog meter only reads to the
4-digit range and then returns to zero for an output of 10,000.
Either the MSD can be read from the digital display, since it
should be the most slowly changing digit, or the analog
meter must be considered in error.

APPLICATION NOTE 35
UNDERSTANDING CROSSTALK IN
ANALOG MULTIPLEXERS
by Shelby D. Givens

INTRODUCTION
SOURCEO~----Tr----~o DRAIN

One of the most troublesome errors in analog multiplexers
is crosstalk. Various schemes have been devised to reduce
its effects. One designer will terminate the multiplexer in a
10kO resistive impedance. Another will short the multiplexer
node to ground between address changes with an analog
switch. A third engineer will terminate the multiplexer node
in 1 MO because he doesn't want to live with the attenuation
which comes about with any lower impedance. What is confounding about these three situations is that the solution is
correct in each case. THE CORRECT SOLUTION IS DICTATED BY THE APPLICATION.
To understand why the solution is application dependent, it
is necessary to dig rather deeply into what crosstalk really
is. When this is done, crosstalk is found to have not one, but
three components in a multiplexer. To differentiate the components one from the other, it is convenient to give them
names:
1. Static crosstalk (CT)
2. Dynamic crosstalk (OCT)
3. Adjacent Channel crosstalk (ACCT)
This .application note explains the three crosstalk components qualitatively and quantitatively. The qualitative
discussion tells what component(s) should be considered in
various applications. The quantitative discussion uses both
theoretical and empirical information to arrive at conclusions about what performance should be expected.

STATIC CROSSTALK (CT)
To introduce the concept of crosstalk, Figure 1 will be
helpful. A multiplexer is made up of several analog switches
connected as shown in Figure 1c. The basic analog switch
may be constructed of a FET (JFET or CMOS) and a suitable driver which switches it OFF and ON. This is shown in
Figure 1a. The equivalent circuit of an analog switch is
shown in Figure 1b. When the ideal switch (SW) is closed
the switch has an ON resistance RON, and when SW is open,
the OFF impedance is determined by CEQ. The two channel
multiplexer shown in Figure 1c shows how signals from one
channel can be coupled into the other channel. Theoretically,
VOUT should consist of e1 modified by the resistor divider
formed by RON1 and RL (assumes reactance of C L is ~ RJ.
However the capacitance of switch number two (CEQ2l does
couple some portion of e2 into V OUT' This is the simplest example of crosstalk.
The model which explains static crosstalk is relatively Simple
and may be derived from the OFF isolation model. Figure 2a
shows the OFF isolation model as capacitive coupling from
the input to the output of an OFF switch. This condition may
be duplicated in Figure 1c by opening SW 1 and setting e2=0.
Coupling from input to output is accomplished through CEQ,

DYNAMIC CROSSTALK (OCT)
The dynamic crosstalk model can be derived from Figure 3.
The switch SW l represents one condition on the multiplexer
node (SWl is open). Actually SW l Is continually switching
between OFF and ON. This is represented in Figure 3b. In
order to reduce crosstalk, multiplexers are designed to have
break·before·make switching so that no two channels are
addressed at the same time. The finite open time of SW l
(shown in Figure 3b) represents the break-before-make ac·
tion. There are two "open" conditions on the multiplexer
node per cycle of the clock; thus the equivalent nodal
resistance (REal may be computed as given in Figure 3b.
Table I shows some typical values of static and dynamic
crosstalk. Static crosstalk values are given In lines 1 and 12.
There is a change in crosstalk as the clock frequency (fCLlQ
is varied. Starting at line 4 notice the variation in crosstalk
as Rl is varied from 10kO to 100kO while fClK remains con·
stant at 100kHz. While Table I yields some theoretical
values which give inSight into the operation of dynamic
crosstalk, a working multiplexer will have different values of
fClK with respect to the maximum value of f slG. The real
world situation will be analyzed in a later section of this
paper.
Examples of multiplexer applications which are dynamic in
nature are:

almost meaningless, since the wrong choice of Rl (or fClK!

The fact that information is "carried forward" from on'e

as causing ACCT. Thus the multiplexer nodal capacitance
becomes the prime suspect. Figure 5 illustrates how information is carried forward from one channel to the next as
the addresses are changed. The address code is shown in
Figure 5a, while Figure 5b shows the theoretical multiplexer
output. Note that the even numbered channels have zero
volts on them, while the odd channels have their channel
number in volts. This arrangement best illustrates how the
information is transferred to the adjacent channel (as

Adjacent channel crosstalk is the most confusing component of crosstalk. In addition to its confusing nature, in
some cases, it is the most dominant component. While both
static and dynamic crosstalk are capacitive in nature, i.e.,
they vary with frequency at SdB/octave, the adjacent channel crosstalk is invariant with frequency. In other words, it is
possible to have crosstalk when multiplexing DC signals
such as the outputs of thermocouples, pressure transducers, etc. The parameters which must be dealt with are
Rl , C lJ RON, and f ClK' In addition, the break-before-make
time (= T BRK! of the multiplexer is of importance. Before diving into the details of this component of crosstalk, it will be
helpful to define what is meant by ACCT.
The term "adjacent" refers to time only. In other words,
channel two is adjacent to channel one if channel two immediately follows channel one in time slots. Since the channel following is the "adjacent" channel, then channel one is
not adjacent to channel two, but rather the other way
around. Figure 4 illustrates the concept of adjacent channels. Assuming the multiplexer had, say, 1V on channel one,
2V on channel two, etc., then the output would look like the
curve labeled "channel addressed." What Is important
about the waveforms in Figure 4 is the way the adjacent
channel (in time) is shown. Note that while channel two is
adjacent to channel one, channel one is itself adjacent to
channel eight.

shown in Figure 5c). While the theoretical MUX output
switches from channel three (3 volts) to channel four (0
volts) at the moment of the address change, note the delay
in the actual MUX output caused by T BRK. During this time
the MUX node discharges along an RC curve determined by
the load capacitance (CJ, and the load resistance (RJ.
When the break-be fore-make time (TBRK! is over, channel
four is turned ON and the RC product is suddenly reduced to
RONC l . A curve which details how this all takes place is
shown in Figure S. Before leaving Figure 5, the arrangement
suggests a method of avoiding adjacent channel crosstalk.
In other words, the alternate grounding of channels
prevents channel one Signals from reaching channel three ...
channel three from reaching channel five, etc.
The curve in Figure Sa shows a typical nodal discharge for a
set of real world conditions. The curve is normalized and
TBRK is chosen to be 900nsec. An accepted method of
measuring TBRK is from the 50% point of the channel which
has been turned OFF to the 50% point of the channel which
is being turned ON. This concept is illustrated in Figure Sb.
In this case (Figure Sa) T BRK is measured from the moment
of the address change. While this is not totally correct, the
agreement between theoretical and actual results is good
enough to justify the simpler model which is derived. Since
most designers are interested in crosstalk which is less
than the resolution of the discharge curve, the ACCT vs.
time graph gives crosstalk down to 90dB. In other words, the
ACCT is down 90dB in less than 1.25JtSec.
Adjacent channel crosstalk is a problem in every application where dynamic crosstalk must be considered; however
there are techniques to minimize its effects. A popular way
to diminish adjacent channel crosstalk is to short the
multiplexer node to ground between address changes. This
requires an additional analog switch which should be fast

and have low RON' An alternative approach to reducing adjacent channel crosstalk is to ground every other channel in a
multiplexer. This technique was illustrated in Figure 5.

MEASUREMENT OF STATIC CROSSTALK
Figures 7 and 8 give the element values for a typical PMI
BIFET MUX-08 on channel three. In the case shown, the OFF
isolation was first measured and found to be 75dB. With RL
and f SIG known, then CEO was calculated. Once CEO is
known, then REO may be calculated from the static crosstalk measurement made in Figure 8. REO is the parallel combination of RL and RON; thus it is possible to compute RON
and this value is also shown in Figure 8. The measurements
thus far are relatively simple and only require a voltmeter
which is capable of measuring signals which are 100dB
below the reference signal. On the other hand, the measurement of dynamic crosstalk is a bit more involved, and requires a more complex system.

MEASUREMENT OF DYNAMIC CROSSTALK
The crosstalk measuring system shown in Figure 9 is to be
used for measuring dynamic crosstalk. The signal from M5
is fed into M1 where it is multiplexed onto the OUT terminal.

M1 contains the multiplexer under test and a decoding circuit. The decoding circuit allows the selection of any two
channels to be used as a two channel multiplexer. M2 is a
high-speed buffer used for driving the IN terminal of M3. M3
contains a multiplexer operated in a demultiplexer mode,
along with decoding circuitry to allow several combinations
of two channel demultiplexing. The signal which appears on
S3A is fed through M4 (high-speed buffer) to M8 for spectrum
analysis. In short, If no errors are introduced by the multiplexer-demultiplexer system, the output should be the same
as the input.
. Since the system in Figure 9 is capable of measuring
dynamic crosstalk, a good check of its performance is to
repeat the static crosstalk measurements. M3 is set to have
IN connected to S3A at all times. M1 is set to have S3 connected to OUT, and the signal thus measured is taken as the
reference signal. Static crosstalk is measured by connecting S1 (or Sa) to OUT, with VIN still applied to S3, and again
measuring VOUT' The relative signal levels represent static
crosstalk. This measuring technique was used to verify the
accuracy of the system.
The measurement of dynamic crosstalk leaves M3 exactly
as in the static case. With VIN connected to S30 M1 is switched
between S1 and S8' The signal frequency (fslGl was 40kHz
and fCLK was 100kHz (see Figure 10). From the crosstalk
measured, the equivalent resistance (REO) is computed to be
11500 (see Figure 10a). To verify the validity of this measurement, REO was calculated using the formula in Figure 10c
(T BRK was measured separately). Since there is very good
agreement between these two Independently derived
values, both the measurement technique and the dynamic
crosstalk model are valid.

Figure 10. Computed Dynamic Crosstalk for Actual Multiplexer

The numbers shown in Figure 10 apply to the measurement
system, but are unlikely in a real multiplexer. To satisfy
sampling theory limitations, fSIG must be less than one·half
the sampling frequency. Assuming fCLK = 200kHz then each
channel in a multiplexer is addressed for 5psec. This means
that it takes 40pSec to sample all channels of an eight chan·
nel multiplexer. In other words, each channel is sampled at
a 25kHz rate. Thus the maximum value of f SIG would be
12.5kHz. Figure 10b gives values of dynamic crosstalk (OCT)
which would be experienced if the values of RON and TBRK
shown in Figures 10a and 10b were used. The first DCT column lists the values for a CEO of 0.13pF (measured value of
channel three). The second DCT column shows the perfor-

mance for CEO = 0.5pF. The purpose for the second column
is to pOint out how critical minimizing stray capacitance is
to good crosstalk performance.

MEASUREMENT OF ADJACENT CHANNEL
CROSSTALK
The system shown in Figure 11 was used to measure adjacent channel crosstalk (ACCT). Ml drives the address lines
of the MUX system and the gating input of M4. By setting the
period of M4 (T2l to 10psec, the pulse rate out of M4 is controlled by the pulse rate of Ml (40,..sec) coming into the gate
input of M4. The output of M4 is in the complement mode

because the control input to M3 causes the S/H to HOLD
when the input is high (1). Thus the sample period occurs
during the time P2. M4 also can delay its pulse relative to
the pulse out of M 1, thereby allowing measurements of
crosstalk versus t1 (start of the sample time). This information is valuable because in many systems, a sample/hold
is used with a successive approximation ADC to encode
the analog output of the MUX. As will be shown, the ACCT
can be made negligible if a sufficient time elapses before
going to the HOLD mode for encoding the data. Since
"time is money," the term "sufficient time" becomes important.
The nature of sample/holds and the nature of spectrum
analyzers can cause some apparent discrepancies in the
data observed by this measurement system. It is important
to riote the spectrum analyzer "sees" the average of
everything that is presented to its input terminals. While it is
true the sample/hold holds the last value it "saw," the spectrum analyzer also looks at the signal present during the
sample/hold's sample time. Thus the equation which expresses the signal level present as a function of time must
also account for the true averaging of the spectrum analyzer. Figure 12 shows the equations (12c) and the definitions of the terms used in the equations (12a and 12b). The
term No is the relative Signal level which the spectrum analyzer measures. If the model of the signal decay shown in
Figure 12a is the correct one to explain the ACCT, then the
computed value of No should correspond to the measured
values. As will be shown in Figure 14, the agreement does in
fact justify the model; however it was necessary to choose
the measurement conditions very carefully.

Figure 12. Predicting the Measurement System Response

In order to get good correlation between lab data and
theoretical predictions, it was necessary to use fairly long
time constants (RL = 22kO and C L = 1000pF). With RL = 22kO
and C L = 50pF (RON = 3000), the theoretical plot of ACCT (as
measured on the spectrum analyzer) vs. t1 is shown In
Figure 13. Note that the data is plotted between 900nsec
and 1025nsec. The curve shows that a 10nsec error In 11 can
cause a 6dB error in reading on the spectrum analyzer. The
results shown in Figure 14 confirm the necessity of using
large capacitances to obtain predictable results. The theoretical curve tracks the actual data well in both cases;
however the 1000pF curve is better than the 300pF curve.
Notice that there is good agreement both at DC and at 4kHz.

demultiplexer, which will have its own break-bef6re-make
delay_ An analog to digitai system will have a sample/hold
amplifier in front of the AID converter_ Since the equations
which apply to these situations are different, they will be
discussed separately_ Figure 15 summarizes the conditions
and the equations which apply to them_
Since there is no held voltage, then NH = 0 in the multiplexer-demultiplexer system. This reduces No to the simple
form shown in equation (1). S1 and S2 follow in equations (2)
and (3). Since t1 = TD (break-before-make time of the DEMUX),
that time will have a significant effect on ACCT. The MUXsample/hold system imposes the condition S1 =S2 =P2 =0;
thus NO=.N H. It will be instructive to compare the levels of
ACCT in these two systems versus their appropriate times.
Figure 16 looks at a "typical" system which will give approximately one percent transmission error (33kn RL and 300n
RON)' and has 50pF CL. The value of CL is somewhat on the
high side (20pF being typical for MUX-08 connected to a buffer amp), but it does give a con.servative value for. analysis.
What Figure 16 shows is rather startling. The adjacent channel crosstalk, while inherent in the multiplexer itself, can be
eliminated in both systems by the proper timing. In the case
of the sample/hold it is only necessary to delay the hold
command for approximately 1.2!,sec to have the ACCT
vanish completely. This is no problem, since most sample/
holds need at least 2!,sec to accurately acquire the Signal
(this is particularly true of monolithic devices). The plot for
the MUX-DEMUX system relates to TD, which is not ad·
justable for a given DEMUX. What is possible is to add some
delay to the address change for the DEMUX. In this way, the
DEMUX will not "look" at the MUX output until the charge
from the previous channel has had a chance to dissipate.

CONCLUSION
Table II summarizes the forms of crosstalk and lists ways of
coping with them. Reduction of RON is helpful in all three
cases. While TBRK should be minimized as much as possible,
it is important that no two channels are ON at the same
time_ In some cases, T BRK is chosen such that even over
temperature extremes, the break-before-make feature is
maintained. Since all three components of crosstalk are pre·
sent in a dynamic multiplexer, the "careful circuit board

section.
This paper has pointed out the fact that static crosstalk
(given on multiplexer data sheets) is only one of the three
components of crosstalk. The models for static and dynamic
crosstalk are relatively Simple and were discussed to show
how they are related. The most troublesome compo'nent of
crosstalk (adjacent channel crosstalk) was shown not to be
quite so straight-forward_ For one thing, adjacent channel
crosstalk (ACCl) is not signal frequency dependent as are
CT and DCT. The mechanism which governs this form of
crosstalk is stored charge on the MUX node. While CT and
DCT must be minimized by careful layout and once present
in the multiplexer cannot be reduced, such Is not the case
with ACCT_ Even though ACCT is present in the multiplexer,
the proper timing of demultiplexer or sample/hold commands
can effectively eliminate ACCT from the total system_

OAC-OB CONTROL OF 555 TIMERS

INTRODUCTION

{ lOUT} volts per second from approximately zero volts to

This application note describes a digitally or microprocessor controlled one-shot and an astable multivibrator
using two of the industry's most widely used low cost
building blocks, the PMI DAC-08 8 bit DAC and the 555
timer. Digital control ranges of 255 to 1 and 510 to 1 are
shown for one-shot and astable applications allowing
periods of 181'sec to 1.4 seconds and frequencies of 1 Hz to
60 KHz.

3" Vcc of the 555 timer.
The one-shot's period, T, is basically an RC product with
two other control factors. The R is fixed and represented by
RREF which sets up the correct IREF current for the DAC.
With the fixed RREF, the one-shot period is directly proportional to the value of the timing capaCitor C (see Table 1).
The other two controlling factors are the DAC's digital
inputs and the ratio of the timer's Vee to the DAC's VREF.
The one-shot period is inversely proportional to the normalized digital input value and directly proportional to the
Vee to VREF ratio as illustrated in Fig. 2. When operated in
the linear mode, a 255 to 1 control range of the one-shot's
period is achieved.

ONE-SHOT LINEAR MODE OPERATION
In the one-shot mode of operation, the time delay or the
one-shot period is determined by a constant current source
and a capaCitor. A digitally programmable constant current
source is made using the DAC-08 and two PNP transistors.
The DAC-08 is a current sink; the two PNP transistors are
used as a current mirror which reverses the direction of the
DAC's sink current forming a current source. The current
source charges the timing capaCitor, causing the voltage
across the capacitor to increase linearly at the rate of

BASIC DESIGN
As shown in Fig. 1, this design involves a series of conversions from a digital input to an analog current to a
threshold voltage and finally to a time delay or a frequency.
A DAC-08 converts the digital input to an analog current

board to the controller. The lead designations of the two
connectors are shown in Figure 6. The input and output
channels are accessible through "banana"-type plugs; this
allows optional connections from the transmission line in
order to try different types of filters and line interface circuits. The two analog boards require ±15VDC and "banana"

The control board requires +5VDC only. The entire system

The accuracy of the encoder, Llle analog-to-digital converter,
is dependent upon several factors. The first, and most
significant, is the speed (settling time) of the companding
DAC in conjunction with the comparator. Other factors are
switching time of the multiplexer, acquisition time of the
sample-and-hold, hold-step settling time of the sample-andhold, and output noise of the sample-and-hold and

multiplexer. All of these characteristics had to be con·
sidered while developing the encoder circuit.
In a companded AID conversion, using a successive approx·
imation method, different digital bits require different settl·
ing times. There is a constant increase in the settling time
required as one goes from the sign bit to the chord bits and
then to the step bits. This increase in settling time is partially
caused by the scaled current sources used to design a com·
panding DIA and is most affected by the magnitude of the
voltage level being converted. So as the output currents of
the DAC·86 become smaller (at smaller voltage levels), the
comparator is less responsive. Also as the less significant
bits are clocked in, the situation becomes more critical
since progressively smaller current changes are provided to
force the comparator to change output state. The encoder
clock waveforms, shown in Figure 8, depict a system ap·
proach to accommodate these timing characteristics. The
governing design criteria was that a limited amount of time
is available to complete the successive approximation of the
analog Signal (for eight channels, with a sampling frequency
of 8kHz, this means 15.6,..s) and the optimum clock must fit
within this period. All functions (including sampling, en·
coding, switching) must therefore be completed with an ac·
ceptable accuracy, within this time constraint. To achieve
accurate data acquisition with the sample-and·hold, a sam·
pie pulse of 3.2,..s was used. Once the pulse goes from sam·
pie to hold, there is a waiting time required to allow the

sample·and-hold output to settle to the "held" value, 650ns
is the time added. Since the sign bit is the fastest tranSition,
the basic system clock (1.544MHz) is used for the first SAR
clock period. The clock frequency is then halved to clock in
the chord bits (B1, B2, B3), the next "slowest" transitions.
Finally, the clock frequency is halved again to allow for the
step bits (B4·B7), a frequency of 386kHz. The times required
for the different bit conversions are shown in Figure 8. The
SAR is reset during the sampling period and once the sam·
pie circuit has entered the hold mode, the input
multiplexer'S address is changed. This provides ample time
for the MUX to switch to the next analog input with little ef·
fect on the adjacent waveforms. In addition, to further
minimize interchannel crosstalk, a 20kll resistor to ground is
added to the multiplexer output.
To provide sufficient noise immunity from the sample·and·
hold to the comparator, a simple filtering circuit using a
100pF capaCitor is added. A 4.9kll resistor to +5V from the
comparator output aids in increasing the DAC-86 and
comparator speed. In order to test the encoder without add·
ing a decoder, a high·precision voltage source (DC levels)
was used as an input to one or more channels of the AID cir·
cuit. The data output (one byte every 15.6,..s) was sampled
and stored in a logic analyzer. By reviewing the samples for
each channel, and comparing the data from all channels of
the eight channel system, the effects of changes in the
clock on the accuracy of the deSign could be observed. By
inputting a steady·state value, the data out would not only
demonstrate the "conSistency" of the AiD conversion but
also make obvious any adjacent channel effects that were
produced.
The anaiyzer sampling also presents a method of initializing
the system components. By grounding all inputs and digitally
sampling the data bus output, the zero level can be set so as
to produce an alternating series of data bytes equivalent to 0
volts (10000000 and 00000000).
A similar design approach was used in developing an eightchannel decoder. In this case, the response time of the
DAC-86 and op amp offers little problem since an eight·
channel decoder is relatively slow. However, the accuracy of
the devices does become important. The design considera·
tions become, therefore, the nonlinearity of the DAC-86 in

PAGE 15-164

conjunction with the switching time and charge injection of
the multiplexer. The DAC·86 is manufactured to strict
linear specifications, which assures both excellent
decoding linearity and absolute accuracy. The multiplexer is
used both as a switch to demultiplex the output waveforms
and as a holding circuit by adding capacitance to the output
leads. One effect seen in the multiplexer is that as a channel
is switched off, there is a charge injected onto the output.
This charge is not normally obvious in a MUX deSign,
however, when working into a high impedance (such as a
filter) and with capacitors on the source leads (outputs), the
charge can add an offset to the waveform. To minimize the
effect, a large capacitor (0.1jLF or greater) is added. Since the
charge pulse is a short duration signal, the signal on the
larger capacitor will be less affected by the charge than if a
smaller component was used.

SYSTEM TESTS
Once the encoder and decoder were functioning separately,
the entire system was connected with the appropriate inter·
facing to allow for full·system transmission tests. The
measurements taken were the standard set of PCM specifl·
cations observed in the majority of data sheets for telecommunication oriented products. These tests included signalto-total distortion, gain tracking, Intelligible crosstalk, and
idle channel noise.
There are two different methods of performing the tests. For
the U.S. standards, a sinusoid signal is used as the channel
input and the measurements are taken around the base
(test) frequency. For the European tests, a pseudo-random
or "white" noise source is preferred as the Input signal. The
test results discussed here were obtained with the U.S.
testing procedures; similar test results have been achieved
using European test methods.

In terms of a system decoder design, this circuit could be
used for more than eight channels. The op amp and DAC·
86 are both capable of responding to more output chan·
nels. An eight·channel system was incorporated to remain
compatible with the analog board that is used in the
demonstrator. In order to decode more channels (>12), the
output capacitance on the demultiplexer would need to be
reduced. The other circuit components would remain the
same.

The test set-up for signal-ta-total distortion and gain traCking measurements is shown in Figure 9. The results are
plotted in Figures 10 and 11. As is seen, each test was performed with both the C-Message Weighting and the 3kHz
Flat response terminating configurations. The results using
the jL-law parts (DAC-86) are represented. In terms of signalto-total distortion, the system exceeds the recommended
standard at all input levels by 2dB or greater. The system is
also well within the recommended gain tracking limits for
both terminations.

The decoding circuitry can be tested separately by adding a
series of data bytes and monitoring the output channels.
The CCITT recommendation for testing PCM systems in·
cludes a method of testing a decoder by introducing a stan·
dard sequence of digital data words in order to produce a
1kHz sinusoid at a nominal level of OdBmO.* This method
proved useful in "debugging" the circuit design prior to at·
tempting the end·ta-end tests.

is at the system recommended level when measured without output filtering. It is further reduced by adding a PCM

CONCLUSIONS
The circuitry just discussed is meant to represent one approach t6 designing an eight·channel, shared COOEC
system. It is not meant to be the only design, but provides a
working system upon which to base further engineering

The demonstrator provides a starting point from which most
characteristics important to both shared-channel and singlechannel designs can be manipulated to allow for improvements in transmission quality. To be able to develop a
realistic transmission design, the system engineer needs to
consider more than just the coder/decoder devices. A complete multiple channel system, such as the PMI eightchannel demonstrator, allows the user to observe the complete system performance as it is affected by the individual .
system components.

FOUR-CHANNEL SHARED CODEC
by B. W. Berry

FOUR-CHANNEL SHARED CODEC
A four-channel CODEC assembled from LSI components is
a cost-effective digital transmission system requiring a
relatively small number of devices. The system makes use
of a single COMDAC@* companded DAC-86 or DAC-87 dlgltalto-analog converter for both encoding and decoding (see
Figure 1). The timing of the circuitry is compatible with ATT
and CCITT system specifications.
Each channel is sampled at the standard 8kHz rate. With
four channels this allows approximately 31.2"s to encode
the sampled analog input and to decode the received digital
signal for the same channel. To simplify the timing system
requirements equal amounts of time were allowed for encoding and decoding, thus permitting 15.6"s for the more
critical encode portion of the cycle. The encode/decode
clocking scheme for this CODEC was incorporated directly
from a successful eight-channel CODEC system which has
been published as PMI Application Note 37. One Qriginal
feature of the four-channel design was the use of dual eightchannel multiplexer ICs to switch the four channels. This
results in a system whose interchannel crosstalk is practically negligible. Crosstalk figures of -85dB have been
observed. This article describes the design procedure and
reviews the transmission characteristics of the completed
system.

card as the transmit or receive sections of the eight-channel
CODEC demonstrator (with the addition of a second
multiplexer). The analog inputs all connect at the input
multiplexer (MUX-88) using alternating inputs, the output
(drain) of the MUX drives the SMP-81 sample-and-hold
device. Once the input level is held, the COMDAC@ (DAC-86
or 87), in conj unction with the comparator (CMP-01 ), begins
the analog-to-digital conversion sequence. A successive approximation encode procedure is used; this generates,
within the allotted conversion time (15.6,..s), an eight-bit
digital approximation of the analog level. The data byte is
available at the successive approximation register output
for the next 15.6,..s time frame. During this time the CODEC
decodes the incoming digital Signals.
The decode cycle begins as soon as the encode cycle is
completed. The DAC·86 i is switched to the decode mode
and an eight-bit data word is presented at its input leads,
presumably from some distant analog-to digital converter
through a switching matrix. As the DAC-86. is switched to
decode, the operational amplifier (OP-16) converts the out
put current of the DAC-86 into the appropriate voltage
level. The output multiplexer is switched to the proper
analog port as the decode procedure is initiated. On the output leads of the "de"-multiplexer, a hold capacitor is used to
provide an output holding function. The "staircase"
waveform is then available for filtering and the final subcriber interface.
As shown in the Figure 2, several circuit precautions were
taken to reduce the internal noise levels. Foremost among
these is the ample use of grounding throughout the analog
circuit. All power supply inputs to the ICs are bypassed with
capacitance (0.1,..F) to ground. In addition, any spare land
area of the board is filled with ground paths. The various
voltage return paths are kept separate except for one common location on the board at the supply input leads. For further noise protection, a 20kll resistor to ground is connected
to the drain leads (the common output or input) of both
multiplexers. This reduces the multiplexer output noise and
any crosstalk voltage feedthroughs. Also, in terms of the
multiplexers, the output MUX is addressed to a grounded
terminal (source connection) in between the active channels. This aids in minimizing the mutiplexer injection
phenomena (discussed in detail in Application Note 37,
describing the eight-channel CODEC design) and helps to
further reduce the device crosstalk. The significance of using two multiplexers in this design is to allow unused channels of the output MUX to be connected to ground. The active channels are then alternated, in terms of addressing,
with the grounded terminals. Addressing the multiplexers
requires only two of the address leads to be controlled by a
binary counter for data selection. The third address input is
either held active (as in the input MUX), or can follow the
system transmit and receive control signal (lead XlR, as in
the output MUX). The address sequence for the input MUX is
repeated through ports 4 to 7 (100 to 111), the most significant bit is held high and the two lower bits are counter outputs. This scheme allows maximum settling time for the
MUX since the next channel to be encoded is selected more
than 16,..secprior to the conversion. For the output MUX, the
two most significant bits of the address are the counter output leads, the least significant bit is the transmit/receive
lead (XlR). As is shown in Figure 3, the address sequence

alternates from active output port (even addresses) to
grounded ports (odd addresses). The counter is changed
while the MUX is selecting an unused (grounded) channel.
This type of sequencing reduces the interchannel interference of the MUX and greatly adds to the system's
measured performance.
To minimize sample-and-hold noise, a simple filter circuit is
added to the output terminal of the device. A similar approach was used in the eight-channel design. Another
feature in common with the eight-channel system is the use
of a 4.9kll resistor pull-up from +5V to the output of the
comparator; this decreases the switching time of the device
for the encode procedure.
The timing waveforms generated for the four-channel
system are based on the encoder clock used in the eightchannel CODEC. This clock circuit is shown in Figure 4. In a
companded AID conversion, using a successive approximation method, different digital bits require different settling
times. There is a constant increase in the settling time required as one goes from the sign bit to the chord bits and
then to the step bits. This increase in settling time is partially caused by the scaled current sources used to design a
companding DIA and is most affected by the magnitude of
the voltage level bei ng converted. So that, as, the output currents of the DAC·86 become smaller (at smaller voltage
levels), the comparator is less responsive. As the less
significant bits are clocked in, the situation becomes more
critical since progressively smaller current changes are provided to drive the comparator. A multi-frequency clock will
take advantage of these timing variations; such a clocking
scheme is shown in Figure 5. The governing design criteria
is that a limited amount of time is available to complete the
successive approximation of the analog signal and the optimum clock must fit within this period. All functions (including sampling, encoding, switching) must be completed,
therefore, with an acceptable accuracy, within this time
constraint. To achieve accurate data acquisition with the
sample-and-hold, a sample pulse of 3.2,..s was used. Once
the pulse goes from sample to hold, there is a waiting time
required to allow the sample-and-hold output to settle to the
"held" value; 650ns is the time added. Since the sign bit is

transmit data in a "Ioopback" configuration. As was men·

halving the inverted ADCLK lead from the prom·based clock.
The system waveforms that result are shown in Figure 8.

channel application information. The tests include signalto-total distortion, gain tracking, intelligible crosstalk and
idle channel noise. Again the test method used for the first
two tests was based on a sinusoidal input signal, as is common in the AT&T specifications, at a frequency between 400
and 3400Hz using a frequency-selective wave analyser. The
results of all. testing are shown In Figures 9 through 11.
It is of some interest to compare this data with the test
results of the eight-channel CODEC design. In particular,
the idle channel noise and the crosstalk measurements are
improved. This can be partially explained by the different
manipulations of the output multiplexer. This does however,
tend to point to the fact that the output MUX can be a
significant source of noise and cross channel interference.
Further data is certainly necessary, but these results do
point out an area of concentration for the system designer
wanting to improve system performance.
In terms of slgnal-to-total distortion and gain tracking, the
four-channel results compare favorably with the eight-

channel data and both systems exceed the AT&T requirements. Overall, the transmission tests pOint out that
using a single DAC·86 for four-channel transmitting and
receiving is a realistic approach and can comply with all
" system" standards.

CONCLUSIONS
The testing described in the preceeding pages demonstrates the feasibility of encoding and decoding four channels with a single DAC-~6_· The system has several advantages: 1) a smaller number of devices are required to complete the CODEC function than were necessary for the
eight-channel deSign, 2) the clock circuitry (prom-based timing generator) is common to all encoders, so on.IY a single
such circuit is needed for multiple ·CODECs. Both of these
factors contribute to reduced printed circuit board area for
multiple transmission channels. The devices needed for a
four-channel CODEC are listed in Figure 12. In terms of
package sizes only one device is larger than sixteen pins
(the DAC 86/87 is 18 pins) and three of the components are
only eight pins. This should make system layout fairly simple and allow relatively dense component packing. If channel monitoring is incorporated, then a single supervision circuit could administer several circuit packs in a system line-

up. The number of external leads is reduced in a fourchannel CODEC and the design is easily added to a busstructure data switching system.
The price per channel is still less than that being quoted by
single·channel CODEC deSigners although slightly more
than the eight·channel approach. (See pricing, Figure 13).
The sacrifice made in prlce-per-channel Is offset by the
gains in system architecture and board layout offered by a
four-channel shared CODEC. The shared channel CODEC
approach is a viable solution to producing a digital
transmission system. AN-37 shows designs at even lower
per channel cost.

COMPANDING DIGITAL·TO·ANALOG
CONVERTER
by Guido Pastorino
(FROM PMI DESIGN REVIEW NOTES -1975)

INTRODUCTION
A companding digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is the key
component in PCM CODEC systems. (CODEC is an acronym
for coder-decoder.) A CODEC performs the coding functions
which consist of an analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) of
the input analog (voice) signal and decoding, which consists
of a digital-to-analog conversion (DAC) of the received
digital input.
The DAC is used for both encoding and decoding; it is in a
feedback loop to generate the ADC functions. Voice signals
in telephony rElQuire a system with a very large dynamic
range. The Uynamic range (DR) of a CODEC is defined as the
rane of the largest resolvable signal to the smallest signal
which can be encoded. The dynamic range of the CODEC is
the same as that of the DAC used in either the decode mode
or in the feedback loop of the successive approximation
type ADC. The dynamic range of a DAC is simply the ratio of
its output for a linear input of one least significant bit (LSB)
to that of the largest, all "1s," input. This ratio is usually expressed in decibels using the equation:
IMAX.
DR = 20 IOg10-ILSB
where for a current output DAC IMAX is the output current for
all "1s" input and ILSB is the output current for one LSB input. Using this equation a linear bit DAC can be shown to
resolve a ratio of 2":1 therefore:
DR = 2010g

pair whose input amplitude range is divided into steps of unequal widths, such that the width of the quantizing steps increase in proportion to the amplitude of the signal. To
achieve uniform signal to distortion performance a logarithmic transfer function is required. The word compand, (compand is an acronym for compress - expand) was borrowed
from analog systems to describe this non-uniform coding
system where quantizing and coding is such that step size
depends on the input amplitude.

COMPANDING PRINCIPLES
Companding requirements differ for different signal
distributions. As mentioned above, voice signals require
constant SID performance over a wide dynamic range. In
order to accomplish this the distortion must be proportional
to the signal level. This feat is best achieved by the use of a
logarithmic compression law. However, a truly logarithmic
assignment of code words is not physically possible since
this implies an infinite number of codes. Two methods for
generating practical implementations of logarithmic
transfer functions have been derived which have become industry standards. These methods are generally known by
their transfer functions which are called wlaw and A-law
respectively. Both of these transfer functions are normally
implemented with eight-bit non-linear DACs to achieve a
72dB dynamic range. This is the equivalent dynamic range
of a twelve-bit linear DAC. The wlaw and the A-law transfer
functions are described by the following equations:

~6"

The wide dynamic range requirements of a telephone
system require the equivalent dynamic range of a 12-bit
system or 72dB. However, this system would not be satisfactory for telephone voice transmission because of its excessive bandwidth requirements. With present day T1 type
transmission systems a 64kbits/sec data rate is required to
transmit each voice channel. The use of the linear system
would increase this bit rate to 96kbits/sec. This would provide more accuracy than is needed at the expense of excessive bandwidth.
For voice systems the most important criterion is the signalto-noise ratio. In a PCM system noise is due almost entirely
to quantizing distortion. Thus, a non-linear DAC has a nonlinear transfer characteristic to compress the analog signal
into a digital word and a complementary transfer characteristic to expand the digital words into analog signals with a
wide dynamic range. For a telephone system a CODEC requires a fairly uniform signal-to-distortion ratio over its entire dynamic range. Achieving this uniform signal-to-distortion
ratio over a wide dynamic range requires the use of nonuniform coding. A non-uniform CODEC is a coder-decoder

These laws have unique signal-to-distortion characteristics
for each value of I' and A respectively. At present AD has
settled on a value of I' equal to 255 and CCID specifications
use a value of A equal to 87.6. Substituting these constants
into the original equation above obtain:

The wideband (unfiltered) signal-to-distortion ratio over the

would be caused by an ideal quantizer.

first two chords on either side of the origin have equal step
sizes, whereas, for the wlaw function, the second chord
after the origin has a step size which is double that of the
first. For all remaining chords the steps double in size for
each succeeding chord. This applies to both the wlaw and
A·law functions. For the A·law function the four chords
about the origin can be considered as a single segment so
that the A·law characteristic is sometimes referred to as being
a "13·segment" code. The A-law characteristic also differs
from the wlaw characteristic in the manner in which the
transfer function crosses the origin. The X·axis origin for the
wlaw is at "mid·step" while the X·axis origin for the A·law is
coincident with a "riser". This can be understood better
from the "blow·ups" about the origin of Figures 2 and 3.

The practical implementation of the two transfer functions
Is accomplished by standardized piece-wise linear approx·

or segments where the transfer function within anyone
chord is a linear staircase. Each chord has sixteen steps
and the size of the step in each succeeding chord is double
the size of the step in the preceedlng chord. There are nor·

In order to obtain the best implementations ·of the transfer
function, companded DACs are constructed such that en·
code and decode functions are offset by one·half step. With
this technique the quantizing band for the encode DAC will
be centered about the decode value. This can be seen In
Figure 4, where the wlaw characteristics about the origin
are shown. (The A-law characteristics would be identical ex·
cept for the "mid·riser" phenomena at the origin.) As an ex·
ample suppose that, for Figure 4, an analog input whose
amplitude lies between levels 2 and 4 is being encoded. The
best quantizing code to assign to this entire quantizing
band is its mean value of 3. Thus the DAC used in the suc-

The end result is that a DAC used for decoding must be off·

This output will eventually end up at the positive (I Off or

Each companding DAC can be programmed to operate as
either an encoder or a decoder by properly programming tM
ElD pin. The encode mode is offset one·half step from the
decode mode by means of the current generator which is
switched in during the encode mode. The reference
amplifier establishes the current reference for the current
output DAC. The sign bit pin (56) controls the positive-

A better understanding of the COMDAC® circuitry is ob·
tained by reviewing the previously discussed piece-wise
linear approximation of the companding DAC transfer func·
tion to the desired !'"Iaw or A-law transfer functions. Each
chord or segment consists of 16 steps numbered from 0 to
15. The size of the steps double in size from one chord to the
next as the number of the chord Increases. The chords are
numbered 0 to 7. In order to smooth out the characteristics
during the transition from one chord to the next, the step
current for step 0 of each chord is 1·1/2 times larger than the
current of the highest step of the chord immediately
preceding it. The succeeding 15 steps (steps 1 to 15) are
then two times the size of the steps of this previous chord.
These characteristics can be examined in Figure 7.
To implement the transfer function, the first chord (N = 0)
uses 16 equal steps each of whose size, 10 is 1/16 of chord
current source Ico for A·law, or 1116.5 of current source Ico

is equal to the current step caused by changing the least
significant bit in the chord of interest. Note that this
satisfies the requirement of the equation for pedestal cur·
rent IpN. The step generator has the ability to sum current IE

both A·law or wlaw. Another way of saying this is that chord
N = 1 begins 16.5 steps from the origin. In order to ac·
complish this a pedestal current must be directed toward
the output whose magnitude is equal to Ico + 1.510- Chord C2
begins at Ico+ 1.510+ IC1 + 1.511 and ends at Ico+ 1.51 0+ IC1

shown in Figure 8, which operates in the following manner:
the reference amplifier sets the bias current for the chord
generator by means of IC7 which is a current mirror whose
output Is equal to 2IREF. Next, due to the operation of an
R -2R ladder which is described in a following paragraph,
1C6 is made equal to one-half IC7 and is therefore equal to
IREF· IC5 is made equal to one·half IC6 and so forth. From IC3
down to Ico a slave ladder is used rather than an R -2R lad·
der but the results are the same. The chord currents double
in size progressing from Ico to IC7 respectively (for A·law
however IC1 = IcO>. The chord selector is programmed from
the 1 of 8 decoder so that the chord identified by binary
chord number N on leads 8 1 to 8 3 will switch ICN to the step
generator. All other chord currents are switched to the
pedestal selector. The pedestal selector is programmed
from the same 1 of 8 chord decoder such that chords 10 to
IN -1 are switched to the pedestal selector output in order to
generate pedestal current IpN. All other chord currents are
switched to ground so that a pedestal current equal to the
sum of the chord currents from Ico to IC(N -1) will be directed
to the output current switch matrix as IpN. The ICN flowing

logic input exceeds the logic level bias V LC 01 is turned off
and 02 is turned on. In turn 03 is turned off and 04 is turned
on thus effectively switching the current generator, shown
as an example, from the ground to Is. Conversely, lowering
the logic level input below VLc will switch the current from Is
to ground. The VLC Control permits the circuit to interface
with a large range of logic levels.
The chord current generator circuit is shown in Figure 10.
This circuit is the implementation of the chord current
generator previously discussed. 0 0 is forced to operate at
the reference input current IREF and OJ, with an emitter
resistor one·half the size of the emitter resistor of 0 0, will
then operate at 2I REF. O2 through 0 4 will operate at progressively smaller currents where each transistor operates
at one·half the current of the transistor to its immediate left.
To review this normal R-2R current·ladder function notice
that 04A and 04B operate at equal currents and that the sum
of their currents is equal to that of one transistor with an
emitter resistor equal to R. When the series resistor R is added
to the junction of the emitter resistors of 04A and 04B the
current of 0 3 will be forced to equal the sum of the 04A and
04B currents. Thus 04A current equals one·half the 0 3 cur·
rent. Now the current from 04A, 04B and 03 must all flow
through the next series resistor R. This current is equal to
twice that of 0 3; therefore it is easy to compute that the 02
current is twice that of the 0 3. The same reasoning may be
used to proceed down the ladder to show that each transistor in the ladder Sinks twice the current of the transistor
on its immediate right. The slave ladder consisting of Os
through OaA and OaB continues to halve currents for each
transistor proceeding to the right. However this part of the
chord current generator uses scaled resistors instead of the
R -2R ladder technique. Since 04B sinks constant current
from the slave ladder, and since all the current must flow
through the scaled emitter resistors, then the curent
through each transistor must be inversely proportional to
the size of its emitter resistor. By examination of the slave
ladder it can be seen that each transistor proceedi ng to the

right sinks one-half the current of the transistor to its immediate left. For the wlaw chord current generator .0aB is
simply diode connected such that the chord current for
chord Co is roughly one-half the current of chord C1. For the
A-law chord current generator, however, the collectors of
tranSistors 08A and OaB are tied together so that leo is exactly equal to IC1 . The currents flow to the chord current
generator from an array of bipolar single pole double throw
switches labeled "chord selector" in Figure 8. The actual
switches are not shown in this paper.
The Step Current Generator is shown in Figure 11. Again the
Single pole double throw switches which connect the step
generator to the output current matrix as shown in the companding DAC functional diagram are not represented. The
step generator is connected to the chord selector which
Sinks ICN. Ratioed emitters are used to divide the current.
The largest emitter is 16 times the size of the smallest emitter and therefore sinks 16 times the current. The A-law step
generator differs from the wlaw step generator in that each
chord begins with a riser instead of a step. This also applies
to the origin, therefore one-half step of current flows
(decode mode) even when the binary Input to the step
generator is "0". Step switches controlled directly by the
binary code connect the appropriate collectors of the step
current generator transistors to the output current matrix.
For both A-law and wlaw devices ICN is one of the pedestal
currents. The difference is that for the A-law device the
pedestal current is equal to 16 steps whereas, for the wlaw,
the pedestal current is equal to 16.5 steps.

The numbers in these tables are directly proportional to the
input reference current. However the exact relationship is
somewhat complicated. A reference current of 528pA for the
JL-Iaw DAC will produce a step size of O.5pA thus, for the
wlaw device driven by a reference current of 528pA, it is only

necessary to multiply ali the numbers in the normalized

Reviewing the companding OAC functional diagram Figure
8 demonstrates the relatio!1ship between step size and IREF .
For a ,...Iaw device Ico equals 16.5 chord zero steps and for
an A·law device Ico equals 16 chord zero steps.I C6 is always
equal to IREF in either system. IC6 is then equal to 64 times
leo for a ,...Iaw system, and 32 times leo for an A·law system.
The step size can then be related to IREF by the following
equations:
step size = IREF/64 X 16.5 = IREF/1056 (,...Iaw)
step size IREF/32 X 16 IREF/512 (A·law)

=

=

DAC ACCURACY
Companding OACs must be manufactured to satisfy a unique
set of parameters. The performance of a companded OAC
used for telephony must satisfy the requirements of a com·
munication system on an end·to-end basis. A voice channel
is first encoded by one COOEC then decoded by a second
COOEC such that the system performance can be
measured on an audio·in·audio·out basis. The COOEC performance will be almost completely dominated by the Gain
Tracking requirement.
GAIN TRACKING

Now for a reference current of 528pA the step size for a ,...Iaw
system is 528/1056 or 0.5pA. For a reference current of
512pA the step size for an A·law system is 512/512 or 1.0pA.
These values concur with those used to generate the tables.
In the design of the PMI OAC·87 the biasing resistors were
not scaled to exactly integer values. This was done
deliberately to standardize somewhat on 528pA input
reference current for both A-law and ,...Iaw parts. The performance of the device is not affected, however the actual
scaling is somewhat complicated and will not be discussed
in this paper.
Finally If encode output tables were desired for current output they could be obtained by scaling to proper step size the
normalized encode tables or adding one-half step to each
value in the decode table, where the step size depends on
the chord number.

Gain Tracking refers to the ability of a system to track Its Input power level. The test is normally made with a system
such as that shown in Figure 12.
Gain Tracking is measured by monitoring the input and output levels in decibels. At an input level of -10BmO the output is recorded as the output reference level. For ideal Gain
Tracking, any change (in dB) of the input level must be
matched exactly by the same change in the output level.

This condition is monitored over all input power levels of interest. The extent to which these power level changes differ
(again In dB) is a measure of Gain Tracking, also referred to
as gain deviation. The ATT/D3 Gain Tracking specification Is
show in Figure 13.

POWER LEVELS
For PCM channel performance measurements, power levels
are characteristically expressed in dBmO. A reference level
of OdBmO is established by referencing to a code in the
digital transmission. The binary code pattern required to
establish a reference level of OdBmO can be found in the
CCITT publications. This pattern is reproduced in the PMI
Telecommunications Handbook for the readers convenience. The constant repetition of these binary numbers at
the normal sampling rate of 8kHz will produce a 1kHz
sinusoid at a OdBmO reference level. Starting with this
definition it can then be shown that a sinusoid whose peak
value is just at the system saturation level (all "1s" PCM
output) will have a power level of 3.14 and 3.17dBmO for
A-law and wlaw respectively.

SIGNAL·TO·DISTORTION MEASUREMENTS

-0.8

Signal-to-Distortion is a measure of the total distortion a
system will exhibit on an end-to·end basis. As with Gain
Tracking this measurement is normally performed on an
audio-to-audio basis. A typical setup for measuring Signalto-Distortion is shown in Figure 15. A wideband (3kHz) filter
may be substituted for the C-Message filter shown for some
tests.

CCITT publishes two separate specifications for Gain Tracking. The apparatus used for making either of these tests is
basically the same as that used in Figure 13 except that for
the first part of the "method one" test the HP3551A would
be replaced with a suitable white noise source at the input

Figure 16 shows the ATT/D3 specification mask with the
performance of a PMI demonstration COMDAC@ based
shared CODEC system superimposed. This method of measuring Signal-to-Distortion is applicable to either CCITT or

DAC ACCURACY VERSUS GAIN TRACKING AND
SIGNAL·TO·DISTORTION RATIO
The analog portions of a PCM system usually make only a
minor contribution to either Gain Tracking or Signal·toDistortion errors. Thus, the major contribution to error is the
inability of the companding DAC to accurately follow the encoding format. The process of quantizing and coding will
cause some deviation from the ideal, however the errors
made by the ideal CODEC system will be well within telephony
specifications. To conform to the required Gain Tracking
and Signal-to-Distortion specifications the DAC output currents must conform as closely as possible to the ideal transfer function as tabulatE!d in the normalized tables. This corresponds to a specification of absolute error on the DAC
output c'urrent with respect to its binary inputs. The
DAC-86I87 companded DACs are guaranteed to plus or minus
one-fourth step from ideal values in chord zero arid to plus
or minus one-half step elsewhere. This information can be
transformed into tabular form by adding the allowable error
to the DAC tables. Either the normalized tables or the cur·
rent output tables can be used as a basis for this exercise.

Figure 5 shows a low pass filter realized for fo of 1MHz.
What is remarkable about this filter is most IGs do not have
the full power bandwidth to handle 1MHz signals in the 5 to
10 Volt range, while the BUF-03 has a greater than 4MHz full
power bandwidth for a 20Vp. p sinewave. Similar comments
apply to the filter in Figure 6. In other words, the extreme
bandwidth of the BUF-03 extends the bandwidth capability
of certain classes of active filters.

The circuit shown in Figure 12 provides the highest speed

successive approximation analog·to-digital converter (ADe).

LINE DRIVER APPLICATIONS

If your BIFET "line driver" has the speed but not the stability
or the current capability to drive coaxial cables, its output

for the IC buffer. In particular, the BUF-03 makes possible a
whole new class of high frequency filters and high speed
current sources. Many problems in data acquisition systems
can be solved by the use of buffers. In addition, the BUF-03
is useful in providing increased drive current, as well as the
ability to drive long cables without instability. Finally, the
versatility of the reference zener can be increased by using
buffers, and for AC applications the buffer can be used on
Single power supplies.

IMPROVED SHARED-CHANNEL
CODEC DESIGN WITH PMI's
NEW COMPANDING DACs

®

by B.W. Berry
DESIGNERS FACE CHOICE

The degree of improvement offered by these devices and the
present capabilities of a shared-COOEC system can be
demonstrated using the circuit configuration shown in Figure 1. This configuration, an eight-channel digital transmission system, was designed and breadboarded by PMI as a
vehicle for measuring the analog-input to analog-output
transmission parameters commonly used to specify COOEC
performance regardless of the particular system configuration.

Designers of telecommunicetions systems are faced with a
fundamental design decision; they must base the design of
digital voice transmission systems on either the use of a
COOEC shared over several analog channels or on the use of
one COOEC per channel.
Since 1976, users of PMl's shared-channel approach pOintto
the economical advantages of a system that incorporates an
encoder and a decoder capable of accommodating multiple
voice channels. Proponents of single-COOEC-per-channel
systems generally cite the straight-forward techniques involved In implementing this concept as the motivation for Its
selection.

Two of the components employed in the transmission system shown in Figure 1, the companding digital-to-analog
converter and the analog multiplexer represent improved
versions of previously existing products and are key contributors to the superior performance the system demonstrates
over previous versions.

The use of the shared-CO DEC configuration is appealing
because fewer integrated circuits per channel are required
and less circuit board area per channel is needed. Because of
its lower cost per channel and lower total system cost, the
shared-channel COOEC concept looms as the logical choice
for designers provided it can meet the performance needs of
their systems.

In the redesign of the companding OAC, it was felt that the
best results would be achieved by improving the device's
response within chord O. Two design goals were set: to establish a reasonable settling time within chord 0 and to provide a
guaranteed better than ±1f4 step linearity within that chord.
Excellent results were obtained for both ,..-Iaw and A-law
devices.

Recently, new telecommunication components were introduced by Precision Monolithics Incorporated that improve
the performance that can be obtained from a shared-COOEC
system; the availability of these devices could influence
future design decisions in favor of the shared COOEC concept over the single-COOEC approach. These newly developed devices, including the OAC-88 and the OAC-89 COMOAC. companding OfA converters, and the OMX-88 demultiplexer, not only provide performance which is superior to
previously existing products, they are also easier to apply.

The new version of the companding OAC typically settles
within 500ns, thus overcoming a restriction that had previously reduced the maximum number of channels for
encoding. The IC's nominally settle to within ±1f8 step of the
theoretical level in chord 0 and are 100% tested to be no
worse than ±1f4 step.
Because of testing time restrictions, the settling time is given
as a nominal specification. The guaranteed linearity specifi-

path, the charge adds to the analog output being switched
through the multiplexer. Because 01 the use of an improved

increases the number of output channels that can be

The most obvious system improvement provided by the

scheme. In the original circuit, additional settling time was
required because of the slower changing bits.

Figure 2B. Encode Clock.

allows 9.1 "s (eight-channel rate) for encoding; the remainIng cycle time (6,5 "s) is used for sampling the analog signal
and holding the level to be encoded. The remaining cycle
time Is divided as follows: sample period, 4.55 "s; transition
'time between the hold signal and the sign bit acquisition,
1.95 "s.
The'sampling time for the new clocking scheme is longer
than It was for the old design (4.5 "s as compared to 3.2 "s)
and the hold settling time has Increased from 0.65 to 1.95 "s.
As a result, the values measured for gain tracking differential
(linearity) at low input levels (-55 dBmO) provide an Indication of the improved response.
Since the clocking pattern has been simplified, the number
of TTL gates needed is less than had been required by the
original configuration. An even Simpler clocking scheme can
be designed by replacing the PROM, address counter and
data latch with a "0" flip-flop and some additional gates. The
use ofaprogrammable clock generator, however, was
advantageous in demonstrating the effects of various circuit
components on the overall transmission performance. For
example, by increasing the sample time and thereby reducing the hold settling time (keeping the SAR clock the same
frequency), the system tends to show different characteristics. The gain tracking stays within spec, but slgnal-to-total
distortion Increases at levels below -40dBmO. The crosstalk
performance (adjacent channel) also deteriorates. Apparently both of these effects are results of the output settling of
the sample-and-hold device. The pOint is that by designing
with a system consisting of Individual devices the user can
more precisely determine those components that have the

greatest effect on system characteristics. The design can
then be adapted to maximize certain performance attributes
in lieu of other,less-lmportant characteristics. The system as
finalized in these notes is a compromise system, one aimed
at providing adequate performance In various applicaltons.
The final design modifications are left up to the Individuals
responsible for the specific systems.
In terms of differences between using the older OAC-66/87
and the new designs (88/89), the requirements actually differ
only Slightly. Both new devices (88/89) now have idle currents present on the selected output leads; these currents are
equal on both the positive and negative outputs and are
normally around 10"A. However, since both leads have
equal values, the effect on the output device Is essentially
zero change. The power dissipation is slightly higher for
both parts, but less than SmW per channel In a eight-channel
design. The OAC-89EX is now specified at a lower reference
current than the OAC-8S/87 or OAC-66. The new reference is
16"A less than the original value. The tests described here
were performed with constant reference current for both the
OAC-SS and the OAC-89. The effect on the A-law measurements means the full-scale output is 2079"A instead of
201S"A, Although all steps are slightly expanded, for the
purpose of the data collected here the reference current
difference Is negligible,
The normal testing configuration used was to provide a test
signal input in one channel and monitor the output of that
channel (or adjacent channels for crosstalk) with a PCM
receive filter and the prescribed receiver. The test diagram Is

shown in Figure 3. It becomes important to ground all
unused encoder inputs to provide the proper termination. It
also is very important when laying out system boards to
generate sufficient ground planes and proper isolation
between analog and digital ground areas. The common point
ofthese ground areas should be as close to the power supply
as possible. Also "daisy-chaining" of ground returns should
be avoided. Careful consideration of grounding can help

improve all system parameters.
The transmission test results collected with this system are
shown in Figures 4 through 6. An example of results with a
different clock pattern is also presented. The improvement in
the redesigned CAC's becomes evident in Figures 7 and 6,
which show the faster encoder clock driving the older CAC66 and 67 components.

Comparisons of Idle channel noise measurements using the
MUX-88 and the OMX-88 are shown in Figures 9 and 10. It is
important to notice that these measurements were made at
the input to the PCM outputfilter. Collecting data at the filter
output is not feasable because the noise values are too low
for the equipment being used. To show the difference
between the new and old components, a measurement was
made that yielded some data. However, for both devices the
idle channel noise is well within the normal system guidelines. The test data shows the difference due to reduced
device charge injection of the OMX. Using a 10,OOOpF hold
capacitor produces at least a 1OdS Improvement for the OMX
and when the hold capacitor is reduced, the improvement is
even more obvious. The smaller hold capacitor allows the
OfA circuit to drive more channels. Since the current capabilIty of the multiplexer switch is limited, a smaller capacitor
means less charge-up time is required and a faster settling
time is possible. The "demultiplexer" allows the user the
option of reducing the hold capacitance without affecting
the idle channel noise performance.

Another demonstrator design change was added to show
how additional reduction of crosstalk is possible through
proper control ofthe output multiplexer. The first design did
not make use of the enable function ofthe output switch. As a
new digital word was latched to the decode circuit, the output MUX address was switched. The timing involved in these
two sequences is such that some signal feedthrough is seen
due to the data latch and Of A circuit (OAC-88f89 and OP-16)
settling more quickly than the MUX switch can open. Performance is Improved by the MUX being disabled priorto the

CONCLUSIONS
Thanks to the use of newly developed components, the PMI
eight-channel CODEC demonstrator reveals the performance
possible with a multiple channel digital transmission system.
As illustrated by the test results, the transmission performance has been improved from that shown in AN-37.
Moreover, the design is simpler and even more economical.
Working with an eight-channel system allows the designer to
investigate additional improvements in and advantages of
the multiple-channel approach. Because of this, PMI makes
a set of boards available (encoder, decoder, controller) to
any customer interested in investigating the advantages to a
shared-channel design.
The system is still the basic design presented in AN-37 and
the work described in that note has aided in continuing

improvement of PMI components. A complete demonstration system schematic is shown in Figure 12.
PMI is committed to providing telecommunication components capable of meeting and exceeding all requirementsfor
digital switching and transmission systems. We feel the
shared-channel approach provides economic and space
advantages over the use of single-channel CODEC's in many
designs. It has also been seen by several of our customers,
that since our designs use individual components, by properly specifying these parts, the overall system performance
can be guaranteed. This can provide savings in component
and board-level testing costs. The system designer needs
only to evaluate the PMI approach to become aware of the
possibilities it holds in terms of digital transmission system
design.

A 1kHz, OdBmO
Standard Signal Generator
by B.W. Berry

The CCITT standards concerning line transmission include
a specification demonstrating the relationship between the
encoding laws (A-law or !,-Iaw) and a standard audio signal
level. The relationship is such that when a specific periodic
sequence of character signals are applied to the appropriate
decoder, the output will be a sine-wave signal at 1kHz with a
nominal level of OdBmO. The prescribed digital characters
are those represented in Tables 1 and 2.
While developing the multiple-channel CODEC systems, it
became useful to test the encoder and decoder portions of
the circuit separately. To complete such tests, a CCITTstandard signal generator was produced. The generator
consists of five TTL packages and is driven by an 8kHz
signal. The required digital sequence is simple to implement
as fourofthe outputs are constant values. Forthe remaining
active bits, a four bit-binary counter was used to produce an
appropriate sequence. As is shown in the schematic (Figure
3), the counter clocks from 0101 to 1100 and then repeats.
This sequence directly provides the output for bits 4 and 6
and the inverted bit 8. With additional logic, the remaining
bit, bit 1, is also available.
The usefulness of such a generator is seen first of all in
troubleshooting any preliminary CODEC designs. Secondly,
for PMI, it provided a small, easily transportable signal
source to be used in PMl's eight-channel CODEC demonstration unit. Using the digital signal generator in conjunction with a PMI DAC-88 or 89 and an OP-16 provides a analog
driver capable of producing the CCITT standard transmis-

sion signal. The completed signal generator schematic is
shown in Figure 4.

THE DAC-76IN CONTROL APPLICATIONS
by Mike Parsin

This note describes a companding D/A converter that is
ideally suited for industrial control applications using 8-bit
microprocessor bus structures. Features, such as 4-channel
demultiplexing, a reference amplifier that accepts various
levels of DC or AC for multiplying, and both encode or
decode capabilities are on-board the COMDAC®. Twelve-bit
accuracy can be obtained with a logrithmic 7-bit plus sign
microprocessor compatible D/A converter. .
The DAC-76 is at its best when measurement and control
become critical as the signal approaches zero volts. Not all
control systems that require precise control need the accuracy of a 12-bit digital-to-analog converter over their entire
range of operation. In fact, the non-linearity of a 7-bit companding D/A converter can be quite an advantage.

COMDAC® CONVERTER CHARACTERISTICS

The term "companding" comes from compression/expansion which is used extensively in the telecommunication
industry. Compression is performed in the encode or
analog-to-digital conversion mode, and expansion occurs
during decode or 0/A conversion. The AID transfer characteristic is seen in Figure 1. Eight points which are referred to
as chords or segments are selected by a 3-bit binary code.
Within each chord are 16 steps selected by a 4-bit binary
code. Each chord segment is linear to 1I2LSB. Step size
varies from 0.025% in chord 0 to 3.2% (offull scale) in chord 7
(see Table 1).

COMDAC® DESCRIPTION
The OAC-76 contains a logrithmic current output O/A converter, a 4-channel demux, and a reference amplifier. The
reference amplifier accepts bipolar inputs and sets the converter's full scale output range from 0 to 4.2ma. This output
current can then be adjusted by the digital input code described earlier. Inputs B1 through B3 select the chord while
B4 through B7 select the steps within the chord (see Figure
2). A unique switch is used in the demultiplexer section that
can be programmed for encode/decode (E/O) select, or
polarity of a bipolar signal selection with the sign bit (SB).
The combination of both ElO and SB results in the 4-channel
demultiplexing capabilities. The COMOAC® versatility becomes quite apparent in Figure 3.
Because the nature of O/A converters is to exhibit full scale
minus 1 lSB when all bits are on, 1I2lSB is added in the
encode mode to insure full scale accuracy. This corrects the
error in encode operations but also means there is a 1I2lSB
error between 100 and 10E (Figure 3a) in demultiplexer
applications.

COMDAC® APPLICATIONS

This circuit is ideal when usually low signals are present at
the sensor. For example, when measurement of a process' is
typically+100·C+I-10· C, but can range from 75·Cto 1000·C.
The alarm is set to trip at 500· C. In this case the COMDAC®
accuracy should be greatest from 75·C to 110·C, a 35·C
range. The DAC must have a dynamic range equivalent to
925 degrees, but only the 35 degree range need be accurate.

When choosing between a linear or a logarithmic D/A converter, two factors should be considered. The first is that the
error signal in control applications is far more important than
the absolute value. The second is that low level signals are
more critical than large signals, although a wide dynamic
range is still a requirement.

Figure 5. Four Channel Data Acqulstlon System

DATA ACQUISITION
A four-channel Data Acquisition System (DAS) is shown in
Figure 5 which is unique because only two linear chips are
needed. Initially, 1/0 port PA is reset and port PB is addressed
at PBO and PB1 to select 1 of 4 input channels. The computer
then counts up from zero at port PA until the COMDAC®'s
output is equal to the analog input voltage at the selected
comparator. Since the CMP-04 quad comparator has open
collector outputs, these outputs are OR'ed together and an
end-of-conversion is signaled when the selected comparator
output goes low (Figure 5a). The count latched in port PA is
then the digital equivalent of the analog input. All four channels can be selected this way with the resulting digital data
stored in memory.
Analog inputs ranging from -5 millivolts to -5 volts can be
measured. To guarantee that the CMP-04 output is normally
high, at least 5 millivolts is required at all channels.

processor which is periodically monitoring the sensor's
output through the DAS. The processor then determines the
error between the setpoint and sensor. This "offset" is then
sent to the COMDAC® for proper valve positioning. The
offset current is "summed" with the DAC-08 at the amplifier.

A logrithmic DAC will then trip the alarm at 500° C, measure
to 1000°C, and give a very accurate reading from 75°C to
110°C. Keep in mind the dynamic range of the COMDAC® is
4000:1 or 72db (excluding the sign bit).

VALVE CONTROLLERS

A "reset time", which is the time between valve repositioning,
is determined by the processor.

A programmable controller (PC) is shown in Figure 6. To
complete a "control loop", the data acquisition system just
described and the PC are required. Today's distributed
systems need mini or microcomputers at remote stations to
operate the control loop. The system described here uses
two DAC's to position the valve opening. A linear DAC-08
makes the gross setpoint adjustment while the COMDAC®
makes the fine adjustment to 0.025%.

PROGRAMMABLE MOTOR CONTROL
Another popular application is the motor controller. Here a
DC motor (Figure 7) is driven from the COMDAC® (requires
a power amp). Speed is directly proportional to the voltage
across the motor. The sign bit determines the direction of
rotation and the 7 magnitude bits determine motor speeds.
For servo applications a shaft encoder can be used to close
the loop.

The operation of this circuit (Figure 6) is straight forward.

APPLICATION NOTE 44
COMPOSITE BUFFER PROVIDES
SPEED, ACCURACY
by Scott Bernardi and George Erdi

INTRODUCTION
Suppose a particular operational amplifier Integrated circuit
satisfies all of the requirements for a voltage follower application except for speed. Instead of searching for a faster
op amp, a design engineer may be able to obtain the desired
speed by placing a fast buffer, such as the BUF-03, in the
feedback loop of the op amp. The resulting composite
amplifier maintains the op amp's accuracy while enhancing
its speed.
The BUF-03, possessing a bandwidth of 63MHz, is well
suited for this type of use. In Figure 1, it is shown in the
feedback loop of an OP-07, an industry standard for applications requiring high DC accuracy but also a device with
limited speed. The compOSite configuration is a fast and accurate noninverting unity-gain amplifier requiring only two
external resistors.

OP-07. The circuit in Figure 1, using an OP-07E (prime grade,
commercial-temperature version) and a BUF-03F (commercial grade, commercial-temperature version) boasts a Vos at
VIN = OV of +30,N, and a gain error (VIN - Your) with a
1,OOO-ohm load of five parts per million (50,N) at ±10V.
The AC performance of the composite amplifier is that of
the BUF-03. One of the main advantages provided by the circuit arrangement is that the BUF-03 remains stable with any
capacitive load whereas the OP-07 requires a 50-ohm
decoupling resistor with CL greater than 500pF. Also, the
BUF-03's 60-70mA driving current will slew large capacitances easily (1,OOOpF and 2k ohms at 60V/p,s for a ±5V
pulse). This is illustrated in the waveform shown in Figure 2.
The slew rate of the system with CL = 10pF (probe
capacitance) is 220V/p,s as revealed in Figure 3.

CIRCUIT OPERATION
In Figure 1, input signals of up to ± 10V are applied to both
the input of the BUF-03 and the non-inverting input of the
OP-07. The OP-07 reduces the VIN - Your error of the
BUF-03 by driving its null terminal, rather than the input of
another op amp as is commonly done. Resistors R1 and R2
form a voltage divider which enables the output of the OP-07
to remain in Its active region while modulating the BUF-03's
null terminals (nominally at + 14.3V).
The DC errors of the composite circuit, including input offset voltage (VOS), change of offset voltage with temperature
(TCVos), power supply rejection ratio (PSRR), and gain error
(output regulation with load) are reduced to those of the

the 2kHz to 10kHz region, depending on load conditions.
There will be a point (up to the transition frequency) where
the combined performance of both devices is better than
either device individually.

If only low·frequency signals are to be processed, an OP-07
connected as a voltage follower might as well be used
alone, unless of course, large capacitive load handling
capability and large load currents are required. At higher frequencies, the OP-07 cannot respond fast enough to drive the
BUF-03's null terminal correctly, resulting in improper gain
error cancellation. However, even the BUF-03 alone has a
typical gain error of onlyO.5% for a ±10V input with 2k-ohm
load (using the BUF-03F). The transition frequency occurs in

The BUF-03 can be used as described with virtually any op
amp in voltage follower applications to provide speed
enhancement without sacrificing DC accuracy. This Is true
even where a high-speed op amp is already being employed,
and still faster speed is desirable.

tlve or negative signal on the channel output pair. The design
is such that, in most instances (U.S. and European), the
generated signals are nominally square pulses. Different
theories as to improving performance by band-limiting the
output stage have been discussed and, in some instances,
implemented. However, the majority opinion still seems to
favor the square-wave components.
The repeater can be considered a combination of discrete
yet interrelated functions. The overall function of the repeater
is the shaping of incoming pulses, the retiming of these
pulses, and the generation of an equivalent output stream.

ICAPPROACH
In PMI's RPT-81 and RPT-82, the equalization and amplification of the incoming pulse train is achieved through a bipolar amplifier with an external equalization network controlled
by feedback from the amplifier outputs (Figure 5). The result
is that the pulses peak so the majority of the pulse amplitude
is restricted to its own time slot.
The automatic attenuation of the pulses is done by an ALBO
(automatic line build-out) circuit actuated through a buffer
circuit on chip. The output pulses of the amplifier will trip one
or all ofthe three level-detecting comparators. In terms of the
ALBO feature, if the incoming pulses exceed a specified
peak-reference value, the comparator generates current
pulses that flow into the ALBO filter external to the chip and
charge capacitor CF.
The voltage at the ALBO filter is applied, in turn, to the base
ofthe internal ALBO buffer transistor. The buffer will turn on
when its base voltage exceeds approximately 1.7 volts. This
'on voltage' is also specified in the electrical characteristics
of both the RPT-81 and RPT-82. The ALBO diode acts as a
series impedance, normally much larger, and therefore the
dominant factor; than the shunt impedance of the external
network. As the current increases at the buffer, the diode
impedance decreases and the shunt impedance becomes
dominant.
The overall effect is to increase the ALBO attenuation as the
filter voltage level increases. The result is that the feedback
loop will adjust itself until the pulses out of the preamplifier
are equal to the fixed reference. The references for the other
level detector and rectifier are set at fixed ratios of this peak
reference. Therefore, their thresholds are fixed with respect
to the pulse shape and relative amplitude.
On the RPT-81 (not the RPT-82), a clock shutdown circuit,
which is activated by the current levels from the ALBO
buffer, is also provided. This shutdown circuit turns off the
clock amplifier at low input levels, thus neither the regenerated clock nor the strobe outputs are enabled at the output
buffer flip-flops. The circuit was incorporated to prevent
random-noise pulses from being reproduced as valid output
pulses. The problem, however, can be that at long line
lengths the correct signals are too low in energy to activate
the clock circuit. Presently, PMI has customers using both
schemes in their repeater designs.
The timing of the circuit is based upon the pulsing of a
resonant tank circuit. The full-wave-rectifier comparator
output pulses the tank network. The pulses try to "force" the

oscillator circuit to phase lock to the incoming pulse waveform, while the tank attempts to resonate at its preset (with
external components) frequency. The result of the two factors is a clock circuit that runs at an average bit rate for the
incoming waveforms.
Again, the value of a for the tank circuit will help determine
the oscillator accuracy. If the a is high, the resonant frequency dominates and it is more difficultto phase-lock to the
incoming pulse rate. A high a circuit also changes considerably with the temperature and long-term component drift. A
a value that is too low will cause adverse affects on the
oscillator circuit by the jitter present in the pulse stream. This
means the jitter will then also be transferred to the output
pulse train as well. For both the RPT-81 and RPT-82, as of
greater than 75 are recommended.
The logic-threshold comparator provides the detection function for incoming pulses. For positive received pulses, a
negative pulse is generated on the T+ line; for incoming
negative pulses, a pulse is sent on the T- line. The clock
amplifier "squares" the timing waveform from the oscillation
circuit and produces a square clock signal and a negative
strobe pulse. The strobe pulses are 'anded' with the logic
outputs (T+ or T-) to set the output buffer flip-flops.
The strobe is coincident with the positive edge of the clock
signal generated by the tank circuit. Once the appropriate
flip-flop is set by the combination of the logic output and the
strobe pulse, the output driver stage causes current to flow
through the proper half of the output transformer, thus
regenerating the received bipolar pulse. The falling (negative) edge of the internal clock signal serves to reset the
output flip-flops and thereby terminate the output pulse.
This is important to prevent the regenerated waveform from
following the data threshold instead of the clocking circuit.
One option is made available to users of both the RPT-81 and
the RPT-82. The internal clock oscillator can operate in
either an injection-locked mode or a pulsed-tank mode. By
grounding a pin on the device, the oscillator is free-running
but is phase-locked to the full-wave rectified output. With the
pin open, the oscillator will only operate when pulsed by an
incoming signal. The circuit then "rings" until the next
incoming pulse is received from the rectifier. In both cases,
the overall effect is to phase-lock the resonant circuit to the
average frequency of the pulse train.
The completed T1 repeater may look something like Figure 6
in a typical configuration. The input transformer provides a
two-to-one step-up from the 100-ohm characteristic Impedance of the line. The matching impedance, in this case, is
doubled to approximately 400 ohms. A fixed attenuation is
added to provide a fixed line build-out of approximately 6dB.
The automatic build-out then provides a varying attenuation
for line lengths up to 36dB.
The equalization network is added to give the preamplifier
higher gains at higher frequencies. This compensates forthe
roll-off characteristics of the preamp and the transmission line.
The oscillator tank circuit provides the resonant frequency
for the oscillator. It is controlled by current pulses generated
as the incoming waveform is receiVed.

A final application of the integrated circuits is the use of the
repeater device in a clock recovery circuit. Data transmission
is becoming more important in areas other than longdistance digitized audio. In these instances, the capability of
recovering clocking from the data stream can be advantageous. This can mean single-pair connections that can transfer
data without additional wiring for timing and clock signals.
Using the RPT-81 in conjunction with a precision comparator, such as the PMI CMP-01, will provide a recovery scheme
capable of reproducing a clock waveform from input levels
as low as 35mV peak-to-peak. Any system that requires clock
retrieval from a data signal and synchronization to that signal
can use a circuit similar to this design shown in Figure 8.

The test circuit was operated with an AMI incoming code at
frequencies from 64kHz up to 1.544MHz. In the published
design, the Incoming data waveform is capacltively coupled
to an input attenuator using fixed external components and
the internal ALBO diode. Since the impedance at pin 1 of the
device varies inversely with the amplitude ofthe input signal,
the voltage at the preamplifier input (through resistor R2) will
be held to less than 100mV peak-to-peak amplitude. This
gives the design an Input dynamics range of greater than
45dB while still producing a constant output waveform.
This circuit (Figure 8) can work from a single 5-Vdc supply,
and the tests that have been completed show none of the
external component values to have critical tolerances. The
design can be used to recover clocking from an incoming
data stream-again a capability that has proven advantageous for designers of data interfaces In many areas other th/ln
telecom carrier exchanges.
When considering new applications or new repeater designs,
several possibilities have already been approached. Since

the European line requirements are somewhat different from
those In the U.S., a modification in the repeater design has
been suggested. For example, providing a better line simulation and response over a longer Ii ne could require more than
one ALBO network. A chip providing multiple ALBO connections could prove important. In addition, again due to the
longer line lengths, the current requirements are even more
critical, a device requiring only a 5-V supply voltage could be
used in a lower current configuration.
In the U.S., work is presently being done with the use of a
duobinary coding design. This would require some modifications to the present RPT-81 and RPT-82 to provide the
accuracy necessary to reduce intersymbol interference.
I n ali design areas, higher data rates are being considered as
well as the basic 1.544MHz (or 2.045MHz).ln such designs,
monolithic devices could also be valuable to improve transmission and data retrieval.

APPLICATION NOTE 49

DESIGNING A MULTIPLE-CHANNEL
CODER/DECODER WITH BIPOLAR DEVICES
(PRESENTED AT ELECTRONIC DESIGN TELECOM CONFERENCE)

by B. W. Berry
Encoding analog to digital signals and decoding the digital
words back to analog waveforms can be accomplished
through the use of several different systems configurations.
This note describes the building blocks needed to produce
an economical shared-channel coder/decoder circuit capable of meeting all necessary system performance requirements while costing less, on a per channel basis, than a
single-channel codec system.
A codec system in which coding and decoding is provided
for every channel is shown in Figure 1. In theory, when the
"digital transmission highway" reaches the individual phones,
per-channel codecs become the necessary architecture.
However, a shared-channel system, accomplished by multiplexing several analog channels and digitizing them via a
shared coder, offers many advantages. Besides cost savings,
these advantages include reduced circuit board area, reduced
die area, easier incoming device inspection and better component reliability guarantees.
The first "commercial" use of digital transmission within the
telephone network is normally attributed to the T1 Carrier,
initially used in 1962. The T1 Carrier incorporated shared-

channel coders and decoders implemented with discrete
components and situated on several circuit boards. The
co dec portion of the T1 Carrier was actually a linear device,
and compression or expansion of the analog signal was
carried out tlirough the use of a diode matrix. Later years
served to provide various improvements in the initial design.
In 1968, the 02 interface used the wlaw companding logarithm to replace the linear approximation involved in coding
and decoding. This design continued to evolve until 1975,
when, in the 03 interface. shared-channel coders and decoders were contained on 40-pin hybrid circuits. For every 24
channals. four of these hybrid circuits were needed to complete the analog-to-analog conversion. This design was used
up to 1978 when the 04 system further reduced the conversion circuitry to two hybrids (in DIPs) per 24 channels, a 40
pin coder and a 32 pin decoder.
European designs followed a similar pattern of improvement; the basic system was somewhat different in that 32
channels using a higher frequency clocking scheme were
employed. However, the most economical design approach
seemed to designate sharing the coders and decoders
among multiple channels.

The "heart" of the shared-channel coder or decoder became
the companding D/A converter. All of the other components
needed are commonly used In digltal-to-analog conversion
designs throughout industry. The part unique to telecommunications designs· (unique as initially envisioned) is one
that supplies the non-linear transfer function DAC necessary
to provide a wide dynamic range while minimizing bandwidth requirements. Generally, the function required issimilartothat provided by linear converters (as shown in Figure 2).
The difference lies in the current output DAC; in a companding system the step current must increase as multiples ofthe
previous step size, not linearly. The step size is dependent
upon the chord, or essentially the distance from the zero
level. The reference amplifier sets the bias current for the
chord current generator. The value of the chord current is
selected by the digital, 1-out-of-8 selector and is fed to the
step generator. The step generator current is a function of
the chord pedestal current and the digital input value.

The restrictions encountered in producing and designing
such a part lie mainly in the speed and accuracy requirements. Bipolar technology allows the completed companding D/A converter to decode 24 or 32 channels (5.2 or 3.9
I'sec per channel) and encode, with the successive approximation technique, up to 8 channels.
This is the basic premise of the shared-channel "codec"
approach offered by PMI. Through the use of high-speed
bipolar conversion, multiple analog channels are digitized
using a single set of devices. The devices incorporated all
have die areas less than 10,000 square mils and are readily
manufacturable using PMI's bipolar processing techniques.
The cost savings provided by multiple-channel systems are
magnified as the systems incorporate more monolithic
devices.
Additional advantages are obtained; since the devices are all
relatively small, the required circuit board area is reduced oil
a per channel basis. The number of IC's required per channel
is less than one, and all ofthe integrated circuits have 18 pins
or less.

A SHARED EIGHT-CHANNEL DESIGN
One way to see the subtleties of a shared-channel design is
to construct one. PMI has had an eight-channel system
available for customer analysis for two years. In this time,
more than twenty customers have evaluated its performance.

V'

Figure 2: In a companding DAC. step current Increa.e. as
multiples of the previoul step size.
As can be seen, the device provides a select mechanism to
allow either an encode or decode transfer. The difference is a
112 step to minimize quantization distortion between the
encoding and decoding circuits.

The encoder (shown in Figure 3) is comprised of the companding D/A converter (p-Iaw or A-law), an analog multiplexer, a monolithic sample-and-hold, a voltage comparator,
and a voltage reference. To complete the successive approximation technique, a special digital register is added. The
same analog components, with the substitution of a high
slew-rate operational amplifier for the comparator and discarding the sample-and-hold, will produce a multiple channel decoder. In this case, a digital latch is added to interface
from the digital data base to the digital-to-analog converter.
Before looking at performance on an analog input to analog
output basis, the individual AID and D/A circuits will be
discussed.
The encoder design is capable of generating an 8-bit digital
word every 15.6I'sec. This means 8 analog input channels
can be switched, sampled, and converted to digital representation by a Single such circuit. To describe the encoder's

function, it is helpful to begin with the clocking waveforms
used to time the successive approximation register, the multiplexer, and the sample-and-hold.
When allocating time to the individual components, the first
area to be considered is the successive approximation
sequence. Considerable time has been spent at PMI determining the most efficient method of minimizing the individual bit times while assuring adequate settling time as each
step in the conversion sequence is reached. Initially, as
shown in Figure 4, D/A converters in conjunction with the
comparator had a combined settling time related to the bit
being determined. As the approximation moved to lower
order bits, the settling time required for the DAC and comparator increased. This was caused by delays in the internal
switching of the DAC, and the fact that as lower order bits are
selected, less current is switched to the output to drive the
comparator. The result was that for the least significant bits
to be determined consistently for small magnitude input
signals, longer delay times between bits were necessary than
for the higher-order bits. This led to the original 8-channel
clocking scheme which provided increased 'bit' settling time
as the approxi mati on routine moved to the lower order bits. It
was realized that by improving some of the internal characteristics of the DAC, this restriction could be relaxed, thus
producing an easier system design. The results were the
redesigned companding DAC's, the DAC-88 and DAC-89.

O.65!.100k In most
cases), any charge introduced onto the capacitor is not dissipated but is evident as a voltage level.
This phenomena can be measured as an increase in idle
channel noise forthe output channels. In terms of physically
observing the charge distribution, the "idle" channels with 0
input levels show a square wave output. The waveform oscillates from 0 volts (when the channel is selected) to a voltage
dependent upon the charge and the hold capacitor on the
output. The waveform at essentially 8kHz can affect the
noise level of the supposedly quiet channel even within the
audio frequency range.
One approach to reducing the output noise level is to increase
the output hold capacitor value. By using a larger capaCitor,
the charge Introduces a smaller voltage on the output, and
the measured idle channel noise is decreased. This change,
however, introduces another problem In that the larger the
output capaCitor, the longer It takes to generate the output
waveform for each sample. Since the sample time is fixed
(3.9 or 5.2I'sec), this results in fewer channels per dlgital-toanalog conversion circuit. After investigating the charge
Induced effect, it was decided that a modification in the
multiplexer design itself could also aid in reducing the

switch to assure sufficient open time between channels. In
this design, the enable function of the analog de-multiplexer
is used to disable the output switches prior to incrementing
the address. The DAC. in conjunction with the op-amp. is
fast enough in some transitions to reach the following
channel output level prior to the previous switch being
opened. By disabling all switches, changing the digital Input
mode and the address selector, and then enabling the
switches, no inter-channel problems are displayed due to the
output de-multiplexer. This slightly reduces the "on"timefor
each output channel, however, the DAC and op-amp are still
more than fast enough to handle the required data rates.

TESTING
Final testing procedure is accomplished by comparing the
performance of the shared-channel codec to the system
requirements as put forward by Bell System and CCITT. The
most common tests for digitizing systems are often a series
of analog-to-analog measurements normally reserved for
installed transmission or switching systems. The first such
test is the signal-to-total distortion measurement, done by
adding a set frequency tone (10200r 1004Hz) to one channel
and measuring the output of that channel after removing the
tone by filtering.

It is in this test (Figure 6) that the response of the companding conversion laws versus the linear-transfer laws becomes
obvious. The companding laws are designed to provide a
flatter signal-to-noise ratio at the higher input levels, while
approximating a higher order linear response curve at the
lower input values. There are presently two methods of generating input signals that are used, dependent upon whose
specifications are being met. The Bell System approach is to
provide a straight sinusoidal input waveform at the prescribed frequency. The CCITT recommendations, however,
also allow for a psuedo-random noise source to be used as
the input signal.

With a reduction in the charge value, the output voltage level
is decreased without an increase of capacitor values. Therefore, the system is able to manage the data rates required.
The redesigned device, designated the DMX-88, has achieved
a reduction in the output charge Injection of 114 to 1/5 the
value measured in the earlier analog multiplexers. This is
seen as an immediate reduction in the output voltage level
for common capacitor values. And, more importantly, it enables the user to reduce the hold capacitor, still achieve the
system required idle channel noise levels, and decode at a
higher output rate.
Concerning crosstalk In the decoder, the most Important
consideration would seem to be controlling the output

Arguments are heard for both approaches; our measurements have been completed using both methods dependent

interesting comparison can be made between the response
of the present companding D/A converter (DAC-88/89) and

The next test results normally shown for "codec" performance are the gain linearity or tracking. As the Input signal is
reduced in magnitude, the output signal is measured to
determine its loss in comparison. Again the CCITT and the
Bell System standards differ in the type of input Signal being
used and the specifications for the measured output. The
results in Figure 8 with the 8-channel system show compliance at all input levels. By comparing the older DAC
design to the new version, another effect of the Improved
accuracy and settling time becomes evident. Expeclally at
the low input levels (-55 to --60dBmO), an obvious improvement is seen at the higher bit rate with the new DAC-89.

the original designs (DAC-86/87) by measuring the systems
using constant bit clocking. As was mentioned earlier, the
original designs of the converters required a slightly modified clocking scheme to achieve the required system performance. By running each device set at the higher frequency
clock for the successive approximation sequence, the effect
of the slower settling times and slightly worse chord 0 accuracy can be seen in terms of the system parameters. In Figure
7 it can be seen that the signal-lo-distortion curves fall off
more rapidly for the older devices at lower input levels.
