NOTES
1
Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause
permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the
operational sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
2
Outputs may be shorted to any voltage in the range V
SS
to V
DD
provided that the
power dissipation of the package is not exceeded. Typical short circuit current for
a short to GND or V
SS
is 50 mA.
WARNING!
ESD SENSITIVE DEVICE
CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection.
Although the AD7228A features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may
occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD
precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

CIRCUIT INFORMATION
D/A SECTION
The AD7228A contains eight identical, 8-bit, voltage-mode
digital-to-analog converters. The output voltages from the con-
verters have the same polarity as the reference voltage, allowing
single supply operation. A novel DAC switch pair arrangement
on the AD7228A allows a reference voltage range from +2 V to
+10 V when operated from a V
DD
of +15 V. Each DAC consists
of a highly stable, thin-film, R-2R ladder and eight high-speed
NMOS switches. The simplified circuit diagram for one channel
is shown in Figure 3. Note that V
REF
and GND are common to
all eight DACs.
Figure 3. D/A Simplified Circuit Diagram
The input impedance at the V
REF
pin of the AD7228A is the
parallel combination of the eight individual DAC reference in-
put impedances. It is code dependent and can vary from 2 kΩ to
infinity. The lowest input impedance occurs when all eight
DACs are loaded with digital code 01010101. Therefore, it is
important that the external reference source presents a low out-
put impedance to the V
REF
terminal of the AD7228A under
changing load conditions. Due to transient currents at the refer-
ence input during digital code changes a 0.1 µF (or greater)
decoupling capacitor is recommended on the V
REF
input for dc
applications. The nodal capacitance at the reference terminal is
also code dependent and typically varies from 120 pF to
350 pF.
Each V
OUT
pin can be considered as a digitally programmable
voltage source with an output voltage:

where D
N
is a fractional representation of the digital input
code and can vary from 0 to 255/256.
The output impedance is that of the output buffer amplifier as
described in the following section.
