POWER SUPPLY SENSITIVITY
less. The 3.9MΩ and 270kΩ resistors (±20% carbon or
better) should be located close to the D/A converter to
prevent noise pickup. If it is not convenient to use these
high-value resistors, an equivalent “T” network, as shown in
Figure 3, may be substituted in place of the 3.9MΩ part. A
0.001µF to 0.01µF ceramic capacitor should be connected
from Gain Adjust to Common to prevent noise pickup. Refer
to Figures 4 and 5 for the relationship of zero and gain
adjustments to unipolar and bipolar D/A converters.
Power supply sensitivity is a measure of the effect of a
change in a power supply voltage on the D/A converter
output. It is defined as a percent of FSR change in the output
per percent of change in either the positive supply (+VCC),
negative supply (–VCC) or logic supply (VDD) about the
nominal power supply voltages (see Figure 2).
It is specified for DC or low frequency changes. The typical
performance curve in Figure 2 shows the effect of high
frequency changes in power supply voltages.

All models have an internal low-noise +6.3V reference
voltage derived from an on-chip buried zener diode. This
reference voltage, available to the user, has a tolerance of
±5% (KH models) and ±1% (BH models). A minimum of
1.5mA is available for external loads. Since the output
impedance of the reference output is typically 1W, the
external load should remain constant.

If a varying load is to be driven by the reference supply, an
external buffer amplifier is recommended to drive the load
in order to isolate the bipolar offset (connected internally to
the reference) from load variations.

For optimum performance and noise rejection, power sup-

Zero and gain may be trimmed by installing external zero

shown in the Connection Diagram and adjust as described
