GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 12-channel AD8802/AD8804 provides independent digitally-
controllable voltage outputs in a compact 20-lead package. This
potentiometer divider TrimDAC allows replacement of the
mechanical trimmer function in new designs. The AD8802/
AD8804 is ideal for dc voltage adjustment applications.
Easily programmed by serial interfaced microcontroller ports,
the AD8802 with its midscale preset is ideal for potentiometer
replacement where adjustments start at a nominal value. Appli-
cations such as gain control of video amplifiers, voltage con-
trolled frequencies and bandwidths in video equipment,
geometric correction and automatic adjustment in CRT com-
puter graphic displays are a few of the many applications ideally
suited for these parts. The AD8804 provides independent con-
trol of both the top and bottom end of the potentiometer divider
allowing a separate zero-scale voltage setting determined by the
V
REFL
pin. This is helpful for maximizing the resolution of
devices with a limited allowable voltage control range.
Internally the AD8802/AD8804 contains 12 voltage-output
digital-to-analog converters, sharing a common reference-
voltage input.

Each DAC has its own DAC latch that holds its output state.
These DAC latches are updated from an internal serial-to-
parallel shift register that is loaded from a standard 3-wire
serial input digital interface. The serial-data-input word is
decoded where the first 4 bits determine the address of the DAC
latches to be loaded with the last 8 bits of data. The AD8802/
AD8804 consumes only 10
A from 5 V power supplies. In ad-
dition, in shutdown mode reference input current consumption
is also reduced to 10
A while saving the DAC latch settings for
use after return to normal operation.
The AD8802/AD8804 is available in the 20-pin plastic DIP, the
SOIC-20 surface mount package, and the 1 mm thin TSSOP-20
package.

OPERATION
The AD8802/AD8804 provides twelve channels of program-
mable voltage output adjustment capability. Changing the pro-
grammed output voltage of each DAC is accomplished by
clocking in a 12-bit serial data word into the SDI (Serial Data
Input) pin. The format of this data word is four address bits,
MSB first, followed by 8 data bits, MSB first. Table I provides
the serial register data word format. The AD8802/AD8804 has
the following address assignments for the ADDR decode which
determines the location of the DAC register receiving the serial
register data in Bits B7 through B0:
DAC# = A3
8 + A2
4 + A1
2 + A0 + 1
DAC outputs can be changed one at a time in random se-
quence. The fast serial-data loading of 33 MHz makes it pos-
sible to load all 12 DACs in as little time as 4.6
s (13
12
30 ns). The exact timing requirements are shown in Figure 15.

The AD8802 offers a midscale preset activated by the RS pin
simplifying initial setting conditions at first power-up. The
AD8804 has both a V
REFH
and a V
REFL
pin to establish indepen-
dent positive full-scale and zero-scale settings to optimize reso-
lution. Both parts offer a power shutdown SHDN which places
the DAC structure in a zero power consumption state resulting
in only leakage currents being consumed from the power supply
and V
REF
inputs. In shutdown mode the DACX register settings
are maintained. When returning to operational mode from
power shutdown the DAC outputs return to their previous volt-
age settings.

PROGRAMMING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE
The output voltage range is determined by the external refer-
ence connected to V
REFH
and V
REFL
pins. See Figure 16 for a
simplified diagram of the equivalent DAC circuit. In the case of
the AD8802 its V
REFL
is internally connected to GND and
therefore cannot be offset. V
REFH
can be tied to V
DD
and V
REFL
can be tied to GND establishing a basic rail-to-rail voltage out-
put programming range. Other output ranges are established by
the use of different external voltage references. The general
transfer equation which determines the programmed output
voltage is:
VO (Dx) = (Dx)/256
(V
REFH
V
REFL
) + V

where Dx is the data contained in the 8-bit DACx register.

REFERENCE INPUTS (V
REFH
, V
REFL
)
The reference input pins set the output voltage range of all
twelve DACs. In the case of the AD8802 only the V
REFH
pin is
available to establish a user designed full-scale output voltage.
The external reference voltage can be any value between 0 and
V
DD
but must not exceed the V
DD
supply voltage. The AD8804
has access to the V
REFL
which establishes the zero-scale output
voltage, any voltage can be applied between 0 V and V
DD
. V
REFL
can be smaller or larger in voltage than V
REFH
since the DAC
design uses fully bidirectional switches as shown in Figure 16.
The input resistance to the DAC has a code dependent variation
which has a nominal worst case measured at 55
H
, which is ap-
proximately 1.2 k
. When V
REFH
is greater than V
REFL
, the
REFL reference must be able to sink current out of the DAC
ladder, while the REFH reference is sourcing current into the
DAC ladder. The DAC design minimizes reference glitch cur-
rent maintaining minimum interference between DAC channels
during code changes.
DAC OUTPUTS (O1O12)
The twelve DAC outputs present a constant output resistance of
approximately 5 k
independent of code setting. The distribu-
tion of R
OUT
from DAC-to-DAC typically matches within
1%.
However device-to-device matching is process lot dependent
having a
20% variation. The change in R
OUT
with temperature
has a 500 ppm/
C temperature coefficient. During power shut-
down all twelve outputs are open-circuited.

DIGITAL INTERFACING
The AD8802/AD8804 contains a standard three-wire serial in-
put control interface. The three inputs are clock (CLK), CS and
serial data input (SDI). The positive-edge sensitive CLK input
requires clean transitions to avoid clocking incorrect data into
the serial input register. Standard logic families work well. If
mechanical switches are used for product evaluation, they
should be debounced by a flip-flop or other suitable means. Fig-
ure 17 block diagram shows more detail of the internal digital
circuitry. When CS is taken active low, the clock can load data
into the serial register on each positive clock edge, see Table II.

The data setup and data hold times in the specification table
determine the data valid time requirements. The last 12 bits of
the data word entered into the serial register are held when CS
returns high. At the same time CS goes high it gates the address
decoder which enables one of the twelve positive-edge triggered
DAC registers, see Figure 18 detail.

APPLICATIONS
Supply Bypassing
Precision analog products, such as the AD8802/AD8804, re-
quire a well filtered power source. Since the AD8802/AD8804
operate from a single +3 V to +5 V supply, it seems convenient
to simply tap into the digital logic power supply. Unfortunately,
the logic supply is often a switch-mode design, which generates
noise in the 20 kHz to 1 MHz range. In addition, fast logic gates
can generate glitches hundred of millivolts in amplitude due to
wiring resistances and inductances.
If possible, the AD8802/AD8804 should be powered directly
from the system power supply. This arrangement, shown in Fig-
ure 20, will isolate the analog section from the logic switching
transients. Even if a separate power supply trace is not available,
however, generous supply bypassing will reduce supply-line in-
duced errors. Local supply bypassing consisting of a 10
F tan-
talum electrolytic in parallel with a 0.1
F ceramic capacitor is
recommended (Figure 21).

Buffering the AD8802/AD8804 Output
In many cases, the nominal 5 k
output impedance of the
AD8802/AD8804 is sufficient to drive succeeding circuitry. If a
lower output impedance is required, an external amplifier can
be added. Several examples are shown in Figure 22. One ampli-
fier of an OP291 is used as a simple buffer to reduce the output
resistance of DAC A. The OP291 was chosen primarily for its
rail-to-rail input and output operation, but it also offers opera-
tion to less than 3 V, low offset voltage, and low supply current.
The next two DACs, B and C, are configured in a summing
arrangement where DAC C provides the coarse output voltage
setting and DAC B can be used for fine adjustment. The inser-
tion of R1 in series with DAC B attenuates its contribution to
the voltage sum node at the DAC C output.

Increasing Output Voltage Swing
An external amplifier can also be used to extend the output volt-
age swing beyond the power supply rails of the AD8802/AD8804.
This technique permits an easy digital interface for the DAC,
while expanding the output swing to take advantage of higher
voltage external power supplies. For example, DAC A of Fig-
ure 23 is configured to swing from 5 V to +5 V. The actual

Microcomputer Interfaces
The AD8802/AD8804 serial data input provides an easy inter-
face to a variety of single-chip microcomputers (
Cs). Many
Cs
have a built-in serial data capability that can be used for com-
municating with the DAC. In cases where no serial port is pro-
vided, or it is being used for some other purpose (such as an
RS-232 communications interface), the AD8802/AD8804 can
easily be addressed in software.
Twelve data bits are required to load a value into the AD8802/
AD8804 (4 bits for the DAC address and 8 bits for the DAC
value). If more than 12 bits are transmitted before the Chip Se-
lect input goes high, the extra (i.e., the most-significant) bits are
ignored. This feature is valuable because most
Cs only transmit
data in 8-bit increments. Thus, the
C will send 16 bits to the
DAC instead of 12 bits. The AD8802/AD8804 will only re-
spond to the last 12 bits clocked into the SDI port, however, so
the serial data interface is not affected.
An 8051
C Interface
A typical interface between the AD8802/AD8804 and an 8051
C is shown in Figure 24. This interface uses the 8051's internal
serial port. The serial port is programmed for Mode 0 opera-
tion, which functions as a simple 8-bit shift register. The 8051's
Port 3.0 pin functions as the serial data output, while Port 3.1
serves as the serial clock.
When data is written to the Serial Buffer Register (SBUF, at
Special Function Register location 99
H
), the data is automati-
cally converted to serial format and clocked out via Port 3.0 and
Port 3.1. After 8 bits have been transmitted, the Transmit Inter-
rupt flag (SCON.1) is set and the next 8 bits can be transmitted.
The AD8802 and AD8804 require the Chip Select to go low at
the beginning of the serial data transfer. In addition, the SCLK
input must be high when the Chip Select input goes high at the
end of the transfer. The 8051's serial clock meets this require-
ment, since Port 3.1 both begins and ends the serial data in the
high state.

Figure 24. Interfacing the 8051

Using the Serial Port
Software for the 8051 Interface
A software for the AD8802/AD8804 to 8051 interface is
shown in Listing 1. The routine transters the 8-bit data stored at
data memory location DAC_VALUE to the AD8802/AD8804
DAC addressed by the contents of location DAC_ADDR.
The subroutine begins by setting appropriate bits in the Serial
Control register to configure the serial port for Mode 0 opera-
tion. Next the DAC's Chip Select input is set low to enable the
AD8802/AD8804. The DAC address is obtained from memory
location DAC_ADDR, adjusted to compensate for the 8051's
serial data format, and moved to the serial buffer register. At
this point, serial data transmission begins automatically. When
all 8 bits have been sent, the Transmit Interrupt bit is set, and
the subroutine then proceeds to send the DAC value stored at
location DAC_VALUE. Finally the Chip Select input is re-
turned high, causing the appropriate AD8802/AD8804 output
voltage to change, and the subroutine ends.
The 8051 sends data out of its shift register LSB first, while the
AD8802/AD8804 require data MSB first. The subroutine there-
fore includes a BYTESWAP subroutine to reformat the data.
This routine transfers the MSB-first byte at location SHIFT1 to
an LSB-first byte at location SHIFT2. The routine rotates the
MSB of the first byte into the carry with a Rotate Left Carry in-
struction, then rotates the carry into the MSB of the second byte
with a Rotate Right Carry instruction. After 8 loops, SHIFT2
contains the data in the proper format.
The BYTESWAP routine in Listing 1 is convenient because the
DAC data can be calculated in normal LSB form. For example,
producing a ramp voltage on a DAC is simply a matter of re-
peatedly incrementing the DAC_VALUE location and calling
the LD_8802 subroutine.
If the
C's hardware serial port is being used for other purposes,
the AD8802/AD8804 DAC can be loaded by using the parallel
port. A typical parallel interface is shown in Figure 25. The se-
rial data is transmitted to the DAC via the 8051's Port 1.6 out-
put, while Port 1.6 acts as the serial clock.
Software for the interface of Figure 25 is contained in Listing 2. The
subroutine will send the value stored at location DAC_VALUE to
the AD8802/AD8804 DAC addressed by location DAC_ADDR.
The program begins by setting the AD8802/AD8804's Serial
Clock and Chip Select inputs high, then setting Chip Select low

formed. This places the DAC address in the 4 MSBs of the ac-
cumulator. The address is then sent to the AD8802/AD8804 via

Unlike the serial port interface of Figure 24, the parallel port in-
terface only transmits 12 bits to the AD8802/AD8804. Also, the
BYTESWAP subroutine is not required for the parallel inter-
face, because data can be shifted out MSB first. However, the
results of the two interface methods are exactly identical. In
most cases, the decision on which method to use will be deter-
mined by whether or not the serial data port is available for
communication with the AD8802/AD8804.

A software routine for loading the AD8802/AD8804 from a
68HC11 evaluation board is shown in Listing 3. First, the
MC68HC11 is configured for SPI operation. Bits CPHA and
CPOL define the SPI mode wherein the serial clock (SCK) is
high at the beginning and end of transmission, and data is valid
on the rising edge of SCK. This mode matches the requirements
of the AD8802/AD8804. After the registers are saved on the
stack, the DAC value and address are transferred to RAM and
the AD8802/AD8804's CS is driven low. Next, the DAC's ad-
dress byte is transferred to the SPDR register, which automati-
cally initiates the SPI data transfer. The program tests the SPIF
bit and loops until the data transfer is complete. Then the DAC
value is sent to the SPI. When transmission of the second byte is
complete, CS is driven high to load the new data and address
into the AD8802/AD8804.

Listing 3. AD8802/AD8804 to MC68HC11 Interface Program Source Code
An Intelligent Temperature Control System--Interfacing the
8051
C with the AD8802/AD8804 and TMP14
Connecting the 80CL51
C, or any modern microcontroller,
with the TMP14 and AD8802/AD8804 yields a powerful tem-
perature control tool, as shown in Figure 27. For example, the
80CL51
C controls the TrimDACs allowing the user to auto-
matically set the temperature setpoints voltages of the TMP14
via computer or touch pad, while the TMP14 senses the tem-
perature and outputs four open-collector trip-points. Feeding
these trip-point outputs back to the 80CL51
C allow it to sense
whether or not a setpoint has been exceeded. Additional
80CL51
C port pins or TMP14 trip-point outputs may then
be used to change fan speed (i.e., high, medium, low, off), or
increase/decrease the power level to a heater. (Please refer to the
TMP14 data sheet for more applications information.)
The CS (Chip Select) on the AD8802/AD8804 makes applica-
tions that call for large temperature sensor arrays possible. In
addition, the 12 channels of the AD8802/AD8804 allow inde-
pendent setpoint control for all four trip-point outputs on up to
three TMP14 temperature sensors. For example, assume that
the 80CL51
C has eight free port pins available after all user
interface lines, interrupts, and the serial port lines have been
assigned. The eight port pins may be used as chip selects, in
which case an array of eight AD8802/AD8804s controlling
twenty-four TMP14 sensors is possible.
The AD8802/AD8804 and TMP14 are also ideal choices for
low power applications. These devices have power shutdown
modes and operate on a single 5 Volt supply. When their shut-
down modes are activated current consumption is reduced to
less than 35
A. However, at high operating frequencies
(12 MHz) the 80CL51 consumes far more energy (18 mA typ)
than the AD8802/AD8804 and TMP14 combined. Therefore,
to achieve a low power design the 80CL51 should operate at its
lowest possible frequency or be placed in its power-down mode
at the end of each instruction sequence.
To use the power-down mode of the 80CL51
C set PCON.1
as the last instruction executed prior to going into the power-
down mode. If INT2 and INT9 are enabled, the 80CL51
C
can be awakened from power-down mode with external inter-
rupts. As shown in Figure 28, the TLC555 outputs a pulse
every few seconds providing the interrupt to restart the 80CL51
C which then samples the user input pins, the outputs of the
AD8802/AD8804

Figure 27. Temperature Sensor Array with Programmable Setpoints
The gain of the SSM2018T is controlled by the voltage at Pin 11.
For maximum attenuation of 100 dB a control signal of 3.0 V
typ is necessary. The control signal has a scale of 30 mV/dB
centered around 0 dB gain for 0 V of control voltage, therefore,
for a maximum gain of 40 dB a control voltage of 1.2 volts is
necessary. Now notice that the normal +5 V to GND voltage
range of the AD8802/AD8804 does not cover the 3.0 V to
1.2 V operational gain control range of the SSM2018T. To
cover the operating gain range fully and not exceed the maxi-
mum specified power supply rating requires the O1 output of
AD8802/AD8804 to be level shifted down. In Figure 28, the
level shifting is accomplished by a Zener diode and 1/4 of an
OP420 quad op amp. For applications that require only
TMP14, and makes the necessary adjustments to the AD8802/
AD8804 before shutting down again. The 80CL51 consumes
only 50
A when operating at 32 kHz, in which case there
would be no need for the TLC555, which consumes 1 mW typ.
12 Channel Programmable Voltage Controlled Amplifier
The SSM2018T is a trimless Voltage Controlled Amplifier
(VCA) for volume control in audio systems. The SSM2018T is
the first professional quality audio VCA in the marketplace that
does not require an external trimming potentiometer to mini-
mize distortion. The TrimDAC shown in Figure 28 is not being
used to trim distortion, but rather to control the gain of the am-
plifier. In this configuration up to twelve SSM2018T can be
digitally controlled. (Please refer to the SSM2018T data sheet
for more specifications and applications information.)

attenuation the optional circuitry inside the dashed box may be
removed and replaced with a direct connection from O1 of
AD8802/AD8804 to Pin 11 of SSM2018T.
When high gain resolution is desired, V
REFH
and V
REFL
may be
decoupled from the power rails and shifted closer together.
This technique increases the gain resolution with the unfortu-
nate penalty of decreased gain range.
A Digitally Controlled LM1204 150 MHz RGB Amplifier
System
The LM1204 is an industry standard video amplifier system.
Figure 29 illustrates a configuration that removes the usual
seven level setting potentiometers and replaces them with only
one IC. The AD8802/AD8804, in addition to being smaller
and more reliable than mechanical potentiometers, has the
added feature of digital control.
The REF195 is a 5.0 V reference used to supply both the power
and reference voltages to the AD8802/AD8804. This is possible
because of the high reference output current available (30 mA
typical) together with the low power consumption of the
AD8802/AD8804.
A Low Noise 90 MHz Programmable Gain Amplifier
The AD603 is a low noise, voltage-controlled amplifier for use
in RF and IF AGC systems. It provides accurate, pin selectable
gains of 11 dB to +31 dB with a bandwidth of 90 MHz or
+9 dB to +51 dB with a bandwidth of 9 MHz. Any intermedi-
ate gain range may be arranged using one external resistor
between Pins 5 and 7. The input referred noise spectral density
is only 1.3 nV
Hz
and power consumption is 125 mW at the
recommended
5 V supplies.
The decibel gain is "linear in dB," accurately calibrated, and
stable over temperature and supply. The gain is controlled at a
high impedance (50 M
), low bias (200 nA) differential input;
the scaling is 25 mV/dB, requiring a gain-control voltage of only
1 V to span the central 40 dB of the gain range. An overrange
and underrange of 1 dB is provided whatever the selected
range. The gain-control response time is less than 1
s for a 40
dB change. The settling time of the AD8802/AD8804 to within
a
1/2 LSB band is 0.6
s making it an excellent choice for con-
trol of the AD603.
The differential gain-control interface allows the use of either
differential or single-ended positive or negative control voltages,
where the common-mode range is 1.2 V to 2.0 V. Once again
the AD8802/AD8804 is ideally suited to provide the differential
input range of 1 V within the common-mode range of 0 V to
2 V. To accomplish this, place V
REFH
at 2.0 V and V
REFL
at
1.0 V, then all 256 voltage levels of the AD8804 will fall within
the gain-control range of the AD603. Please refer to the AD603
data sheet for further information regarding gain control, layout,
and general operation.
The dual OP279 is a rail-to-rail op amp used in Figure 30 to
drive the inputs V
REFH
and V
REFL
because these reference inputs
are low impedance (2 k
typical).
