FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD568 is an ultrahigh-speed, 12-bit digital-to-analog con-
verter (DAC) settling to 0.025% in 35 ns. The monolithic de-
vice is fabricated using Analog Devices’ Complementary Bipolar
(CB) Process. This is a proprietary process featuring high-speed
NPN and PNP devices on the same chip without the use of di-
electric isolation or multichip hybrid techniques. The high speed
of the AD568 is maintained by keeping impedance levels low
enough to minimize the effects of parasitic circuit capacitances.
The DAC consists of 16 current sources configured to deliver a
10.24 mA full-scale current. Multiple matched current sources
and thin-film ladder techniques are combined to produce bit
weighting. The DAC’s output is a 10.24 mA full scale (FS) for
current output applications or a 1.024 V FS unbuffered voltage
output. Additionally, a 10.24 V FS buffered output may be gen-
erated using an onboard 1 kΩ span resistor with an external op
amp. Bipolar ranges are accomplished by pin strapping.
Laser wafer trimming insures full 12-bit linearity. All grades of
the AD568 are guaranteed monotonic over their full operating
temperature range. Furthermore, the output resistance of the
DAC is trimmed to 100
Ω ±
1.0%. The gain temperature coeffi-
cient of the voltage output is 30 ppm/°C max (K).
The AD568 is available in three performance grades. The
AD568JQ and KQ are available in 24-pin cerdip (0.3") packages
and are specified for operation from 0°C to +70°C. The
AD568SQ features operation from –55°C to +125°C and is also
packaged in the hermetic 0.3" cerdip.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. The ultrafast settling time of the AD568 allows leading edge
performance in waveform generation, graphics display and
high speed A/D conversion applications.
2. Pin strapping provides a variety of voltage and current output
ranges for application versatility. Tight control of the abso-
lute output current reduces trim requirements in externally-
scaled applications.
3. Matched on-chip resistors can be used for precision scaling in
high speed A/D conversion circuits.
4. The digital inputs are compatible with TTL and +5 V
CMOS logic families.
5. Skinny DIP (0.3") packaging minimizes board space require-
ments and eases layout considerations.
6. The AD568 is available in versions compliant with MIL-
STD-883. Refer to the Analog Devices Military Products
Databook or current AD568/883B data sheet for detailed
specifications.

Definitions
LINEARITY ERROR (also called INTEGRAL NONLINEAR-
ITY OR INL): Analog Devices defines linearity error as the
maximum deviation of the actual analog output from the ideal
output (a straight line drawn from 0 to FS) for any bit combina-
tion expressed in multiples of 1 LSB. The AD568 is laser
trimmed to 1/4 LSB (0.006% of FS) maximum linearity error at
+25°C for the K version and 1/2 LSB for the J and S versions.
DIFFERENTIAL LINEARITY ERROR (also called DIFFER-
ENTIAL NONLINEARITY or DNL): DNL is the measure of
the variation in analog value, normalized to full scale, associated
with a 1 LSB change in digital input code. Monotonic behavior
requires that the differential linearity error not exceed 1 LSB in
the negative direction.
MONOTONICITY: A DAC is said to be monotonic if the out-
put either increases or remains constant as the digital input
increases.
UNIPOLAR OFFSET ERROR: The deviation of the analog
output from the ideal (0 V or 0 mA) when the inputs are set to
all 0s is called unipolar offset error.
BIPOLAR OFFSET ERROR: The deviation of the analog out-
put from the ideal (negative half-scale) when the inputs are set
to all 0s is called bipolar offset error.
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 AD568 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.
WARNING!

AD568
BIPOLAR ZERO ERROR: The deviation of the analog output
from the ideal half-scale output of 0 V (or 0 mA) for bipolar
mode when only the MSB is on (100 . . .00) is called bipolar
zero error.
GAIN ERROR: The difference between the ideal and actual
output span of FS –1 LSB, expressed in % of FS, or LSB, when
all bits are on.
GLITCH IMPULSE: Asymmetrical switching times in a DAC
give rise to undesired output transients which are quantified by
their glitch impulse. It is specified as the net area of the glitch in
nV-sec or pA-sec.
COMPLIANCE VOLTAGE: The range of allowable voltage at
the output of a current-output DAC which will not degrade the
accuracy of the output current.
SETTLING TIME: The time required for the output to reach
and remain within a specified error band about its final value,
measured from the digital input transition.

Figure 3 shows the AD568 configured to provide a unipolar 0 to
+1.024 V output range. In this mode, the bipolar offset termi-
nal, Pin 21, should be grounded if not used for offset trimming.
The nominal output impedance of the AD568 with Pin 19
grounded has been trimmed to 100
Ω, ±
1%. Other output im-
pedances can be generated with an external resistor, R
EXT
, be-
tween Pins 19 and 20. An R
EXT
equalling 300
Ω
will yield a
total output resistance of 75
Ω,
while an R
EXT
of 100
Ω
will pro-
vide 50
Ω
of output resistance. Note that since the full-scale
output current of the DAC remains 10.24 mA, changing the
load impedance changes the unbuffered output voltage accord-
ingly. Settling time and full-scale range characteristics for these
load impedances are provided in the specifications table.

Figure 4 shows the connection scheme used to provide a bipolar
output voltage range of 1.024 V. The bipolar offset (–0.512 V)
occurs when all bits are OFF (00 . . . 00), bipolar zero (0 V) oc-
curs when the MSB is ON with all other bits OFF (10 . . . 00),
and full-scale minus 1 LSB (0.51175 V) is generated when all
bits are ON (11 . . . 11). Figure 5 shows an optional bipolar
mode with a 2.048 V range. The scale factor in this mode will
not be as accurate as the configuration shown in Figure 4, be-
cause the laser-trimmed resistor R
L
is not used.

Figure 4 also demonstrates how the internal span resistor may
be used to bias the V
TH
pin (Pin 13) from a 5 V supply. This
eliminates the requirement for an external R

in applications
that do not require the precision span resistor.
