FN4607.3
Radiation Hardened High Speed,
Monolithic Digital-to-Analog Converter
The HS-565BRH is a fast, radiation hardened 12-bit current
output, digital-to-analog converter. This part replaces the
HS-565ARH, which is no longer available. The monolithic
chip includes a precision voltage reference, thin-film R-2R
ladder, reference control amplifier and twelve high-speed
bipolar current switches.
The Intersil Corporation Dielectric Isolation process provides
latch-up free operation while minimizing stray capacitance
and leakage currents, to produce an excellent combination
of speed and accuracy. Also, ground currents are minimized
to produce a low and constant current through the ground
terminal, which reduces error due to code-dependent ground
currents.
HS-565BRH die are laser trimmed for a maximum integral
nonlinearity error of
±0.25
LSB at 25
o
C. In addition, the low
noise buried zener reference is trimmed both for absolute
value and minimum temperature coefficient.
Specifications for Rad Hard QML devices are controlled
by the Defense Supply Center in Columbus (DSCC). The

Detailed Electrical Specifications for these devices are

Accuracy
Nonlinearity
- Nonlinearity of a D/A converter is an
important measure of its accuracy. It describes the deviation
from an ideal straight line transfer curve drawn between zero
(all bits OFF) and full scale (all bits ON).
Differential Nonlinearity
- For a D/A converter, it is the
difference between the actual output voltage change and the
ideal (1 LSB) voltage change for a one bit change in code. A
Differential Nonlinearity of
±1
LSB or less guarantees
monotonicity; i.e., the output always increases and never
decreases for an increasing input.

Settling Time
Settling time is the time required for the output to settle to
within the specified error band for any input code transition.
It is usually specified for a full scale or major carry transition,
settling to within 0.50 LSB of final value.
Drift
Gain Drift
- The change in full scale analog output over the
specified temperature range expressed in parts per million of
full scale range per
o
C (ppm of FSR/
o
C). Gain error is
measured with respect to 25
o
C at high (TH) and low (TL)
temperatures. Gain drift is calculated for both high (TH -
25
o
C) and low ranges (25
o
C - TL) by dividing the gain error by
the respective change in temperature. The specification is the
larger of the two representing worst case drift.
Offset Drift
- The change in analog output with all bits OFF
over the specified temperature range expressed in parts per
million of full scale range per
o
C (ppm of FSR/
o
C). Offset
error is measured with respect to 25
o
C at high (TH) and low
(TL) temperatures. Offset drift is calculated for both high (TH
- 25
o
C) and low (25
o
C - TL) ranges by dividing the offset
error by the respective change in temperature. The
specification given is the larger of the two, representing
worst case drift.

Power Supply Sensitivity
Power Supply Sensitivity is a measure of the change in gain
and offset of the D/A converter resulting from a change in -
15V or +15V supplies. It is specified under DC conditions
and expressed as parts per million of full scale range per
percent of change in power supply (ppm of FSR/%).
No Trim Operation
The HS-565BRH will perform as specified without calibration
adjustments. To operate without calibration, substitute 50Ω
resistors for the 100Ω trimming potentiometers: In Figure 1
replace R2 with 50Ω; also remove the network on pin 8 and
connect 50Ω to ground. For bipolar operation in Figure 2,
replace R3 and R4 with 50Ω resistors.
With these changes, performance is guaranteed as shown
under Specifications, “External Adjustments”. Typical
unipolar zero will be
±0.50
LSB plus the op amp offset.
The feedback capacitor C must be selected to minimize
settling time.

Compliance
Compliance Voltage is the maximum output voltage range
that can be tolerated and still maintain its specified accuracy.
Compliance Limit implies functional operation only and
makes no claims to accuracy.
Glitch
A glitch on the output of a D/A converter is a transient spike
resulting from unequal internal ON-OFF switching times.
Worst case glitches usually occur at half scale or the major
carry code transition from 011 . . . 1 to 100 . . . 0 or vice
versa. For example, if turn ON is greater than turn OFF for
011 . . . 1 to 100 . . . 0, an intermediate state of 000 . . . 0
exists, such that, the output momentarily glitches toward
zero output. Matched switching times and fast switching will
reduce glitches considerably.

Applying the HS-565BRH
OP AMP Selection
The HS-565BRH’s current output may be converted to
voltage using the standard connections shown in Figures 1
and 2. The choice of operational amplifier should be
reviewed for each application, since a significant trade-off
may be made between speed and accuracy. Remember

Calibration
Calibration provides the maximum accuracy from a
converter by adjusting its gain and offset errors to zero, For
the HS-565BRH, these adjustments are similar whether the
current output is used, or whether an external op amp is
added to convert this current to a voltage. Refer to Table 7
for the voltage output case, along with Figure 1 or 2.
Calibration is a two step process for each of the five output
ranges shown in Table 7. First adjust the negative full scale
(zero for unipolar ranges). This is an offset adjust which
translates the output characteristic, i.e. affects each code by
the same amount.
Next adjust positive FS. This is a gain error adjustment, which
rotates the output characteristic about the negative FS value.
For the bipolar ranges, this approach leaves an error at the
zero code, whose maximum values is the same as for
integral nonlinearity error. In general, only two values of
output may be calibrated exactly; all others must tolerate
some error. Choosing the extreme end points (plus and
minus full scale) minimizes this distributed error for all other
codes.

HS-565BRH
Settling Time
This is a challenging measurement, in which the result
depends on the method chosen, the precision and quality of
test equipment and the operating configuration of the DAC
(test conditions). As a result, the different techniques in use
by converter manufacturers can lead to consistently different
results. An engineer should understand the advantage and
limitations of a given test methods before using the specified
settling time as a basis for design.
The approach used for several years at Intersil calls for a
strobed comparator to sense final perturbations of the DAC
output waveform. This gives the LSB a reasonable
magnitude (814mV for the HS-565BRH, which provides the
comparator with enough overdrive to establish an accurate
±0.50
LSB window about the final settled value. Also, the
required test conditions simulate the DACs environment for
a common application - use in a successive approximation
A/D converter. Considerable experience has shown this to
be a reliable and repeatable way to measure settling time.
The usual specification is based on a 10V step, produced by
simultaneously switching all bits from off-to-on (tON) or on-
to-off (tOFF). The slower of the two cases is specified, as
measured from 50% of the digital input transition to the final
entry within a window of ±0.50 LSB about the settled value.
Four measurements characterize a given type of DAC:
(a) tON, to final value +0.50 LSB
(b) tON, to final value -0.50 LSB
(c) tOFF, to final value +0.50 LSB
(d) OFF, to final value -0.50 LSB

(Cases (b) and (c) may be eliminated unless the overshoot
exceeds 0.50 LSB). For example, refer to Figures 3A and 3B
for the measurement of case (d).
Procedure
As shown in Figure 3B, settling time equals tX plus the
comparator delay (tD = 15ns). To measure tX,
• Adjust the delay on generator number 2 for a tX of several
microseconds. This assures that the DAC output has
settled to its final wave.
• Switch on the LSB (+5V)
• Adjust the VLSB supply for 50% triggering at
COMPARATOR OUT. This is indicated by traces of equal
brightness on the oscilloscope display as shown in Figure
3B. Note DVM reading.
• Switch to LSB to Pulse (P)
• Readjust the VLSB supply for 50% triggering as before,
and note DVM reading. One LSB equals one tenth the
difference in the DVM readings noted above.
• Adjust the VLSB supply to reduce the DVM reading by 5
LSBs (DVM reads 10X, so this sets the comparator to
sense the final settled value minus 0.50 LSB). Comparator
output disappears.
• Reduce generator number 2 delay until comparator output
reappears, and adjust for “equal brightness”.
• Measure tX from scope as shown in Figure 3B. Settling
time equals tX + tD, i.e. tX + 15ns.
