DAC811

6

The DAC811 is fully specified for operation on

±12V power

supplies. However, in order for the output to swing to

±10V,

the power supplies must be

±13.5V or greater. When oper-

ating with

±12VB supplies, the output swing should be

restricted to

±8V in order to meet specifications.

LOGIC INPUT COMPATIBILITY

The DAC811 digital inputs are TTL, LSTTL, and 54/74HC

input switching threshold remains at the TLL threshold over

the supply range.

The logic input current over temperature is low enough to

permit driving the DAC811 directly from the outputs of

4000B and 54/74C CMOS devices.

Resistors of 47

Ω should be placed in series with D0 through

the logic input is driven below ground by undershoot.

INSTALLATION

POWER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS

For optimum performance and noise rejection, power supply

decoupling capacitors should be added as shown in Figure 5.

These capacitors (1

µF tantalum recommended) should be

located close to the DAC811.

GAIN ADJUSTMENT

For either unipolar or bipolar configurations, apply the

digital input that should give the maximum positive voltage

output. Adjust the gain potentiometer for this positive full

scale voltage. See Table III for positive full scale voltages.
