GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7849 is a 14-bit/16-bit serial input multiplying digital-
to-analog converter (DAC). The DAC architecture ensures
excellent differential linearity performance, and monotonicity is
guaranteed to 14 bits for the A grade and to 16 bits for all other
grades over the specified temperature ranges.
The AD7849 has a versatile serial interface structure and can be
controlled over three lines to facilitate opto-isolator applications.
SDOUT is the output of the on-chip shift register and can be
used in a daisy-chain fashion to program devices in the multi-
channel system. The daisy-chain enable (DCEN) input controls
this function.
During power-up and power-down sequences (when the supply
voltages are changing), the VOUT pin is clamped to 0 V via a low
impedance path. To prevent the output of A3 from being shorted to
0 V during this time, Transmission Gate G1 is also opened. These
conditions are maintained until the power supplies stabilize,
and a valid word is written to the DAC register. At this time, G2
opens and G1 closes. Both transmission gates are also externally
BIN

The
/COMP pin sets the DAC coding; with

/COMP set
to 0, the coding is straight binary; and with
the coding is twos complement. This allows the user to reset the
DAC to 0 V in both the unipolar and bipolar output ranges.
The part is available in a 20-lead PDIP package and a 20-lead SOIC
package.
