PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD760 is a complete 16/18-bit self-calibrating monolithic
DAC (DACPORT®) with onboard voltage reference, double
buffered latches and output amplifier. It is manufactured on
Analog Devices’ BiMOS II process. This process allows the fab-
rication of low power CMOS logic functions on the same chip
as high precision bipolar linear circuitry.

MUX output in a predetermined state by means of a digital and
analog power supply detection circuit. This is particularly use-
ful for robotic and industrial control applications.
Self-calibration is initiated by simply pulsing the CAL pin low.
The CALOK pin indicates when calibration has been success-
fully completed. The output multiplexer (MUXOUT) can be used
to send the output to the bottom of the output range during
calibration.
The AD760 is available in a 28-pin, 600 mil cerdip package.
The AQ version is specified from –40°C to +85°C.
Data can be loaded into the AD760 as straight binary, serial
data or as two 8-bit bytes. In serial mode, 16-bit or 18-bit data
can be used and the serial mode input format is pin selectable,
to be MSB or LSB first. This is made possible by three digital
input pins which have dual functions (Pins 12, 13, and 14). In
byte mode the user can similarly define whether the high byte or
low byte is loaded first. The serial output (SOUT) pin allows the
user to daisy chain several AD760s by shifting the data through
the input latch into the next DAC thus minimizing the number
of control lines required in a multiple DAC application. The
double buffered latch structure eliminates data skew errors and
provides for simultaneous updating of DACs in amulti-DAC
system.

The asynchronous CLR function can be configured to clear the
output to minus full-scale or midscale depending on the state of
Pin 17 when CLR is strobed. The AD760 also powers up with the
