OPERATION
The AD7392 and AD7393 comprise a set of pin compatible,
12-bit/10-bit digital-to-analog converters. These single-supply
operation devices consume less than 100 microamps of current
while operating from power supplies in the +2.7 V to +5.5 V
range making them ideal for battery operated applications. They
contain a voltage-switched, 12-bit/10-bit, laser-trimmed digital-
to-analog converter, rail-to-rail output op amps, and a parallel-
input DAC register. The external reference input has constant
input resistance independent of the digital code setting of the
DAC. In addition, the reference input can be tied to the same
supply voltage as V
DD
, resulting in a maximum output voltage
span of 0 to V
DD
. The parallel data interface consists of 12 data
bits, DB0–DB11, for the AD7392; 10 data bits, DB0–DB9, for
the AD7393; and a
CS
write strobe. A
RS
pin is available to
reset the DAC register to zero scale. This function is useful for
power-on reset or system failure recovery to a known state.
Additional power savings are accomplished by activating the
SHDN
pin, resulting in a 1.5
μ
A maximum consumption sleep
mode. As long as the supply voltage remains, data will be re-
tained in the DAC register to reset the DAC output when the
part is taken out of shutdown (
SHDN
= 1).
D/A CONVERTER SECTION
The voltage switched R-2R DAC generates an output voltage
dependent on the external reference voltage connected to the
REF pin according to the following equation:

Equation 1
where

is the decimal data word loaded into the DAC register,
and
N
is the number of bits of DAC resolution. In the case of
