This +VS approach often results in temperature coefficients of 1%/°C. 0.1µFAD581 V The AD581 approach is not limited to a defined set current OUT limit; it can be programmed from 0.75 mA to 5 mA with the GNDVREF insertion of a single external resistor. Of course, the minimum –10V voltage required to drive the connection is 13 V. The AD580, 1.2kΩ 5% 3 -01 which is a 2.5 V reference, can be used in this type of circuit 14 –15V 80 0 with compliance voltage down to 4.5 V.

It is equally suitable for the AD7574 8-bit ADC. In the standard hook-up, as shown in Figure 15, the +10 V reference is inverted by the amplifier/DAC configuration BOTTOM VIEW OF 10V PRECISION 2 01 to produce a 0 V to −10 V range.

A Two-Component Precision Current Limiter full-scale range is desired, the AD581 can be connected to the NEGATIVE 10 V REFERENCE CMOS DAC in its −10 V Zener mode, as shown in Figure 13 (the −10 VREF output is connected directly to the VREF IN of the The AD581 can also be used in a 2-pin Zener mode to provide a CMOS DAC). The AD581 is normally used in the −10 V mode precision −10.00 V reference. As shown in Figure 13, the +VS and with the AD7574 to give a 0 V to +10 V ADC range. This is VOUT pins are connected together to the high supply (in this shown in Figure 15. Bipolar output applications and other case, ground). The ground pin is connected through a resistor operating details can be found in the data sheets for the CMOS to the negative supply. Thus, the output is taken from the products. ground pin instead of VOUT. With 1 mA flowing through the +15V AD581 in this mode, a typical unit shows a 2 mV increase in output level over that produced in the 3-pin mode. Note also +10V that the effective output impedance in this connection increases AD581 from 0.2 Ω typical to 2 Ω. It is essential to arrange the output VREF IN load and the supply resistor, RS, so that the net current through BIT 1 (MSB)1514RFEEDBACK the AD581 is always between 1 mA and 5 mA. For operation to 416DIGITAL+15V5 +125°C, the net current should be between 2 mA and 5 mA.

Low Power 10-Bit CMOS DAC Application positive supply through an appropriate supply resistor. The PRECISION 12-BIT DAC REFERENCE performance characteristics are similar to those of the negative 2-pin connection. The only advantage of this connection over AD565A, like most DACs, is designed to operate with a +10 V the standard 3-pin connection is that a lower primary supply reference element. In the AD565A, this 10 V reference voltage is can be used, as low as 10.5 V. This type of operation requires con- converted into a reference current of approximately 0.5 mA via siderable attention to load and primary supply regulation to the internal 19.95 kΩ resistor (in series with the external 100 Ω maintain the AD581 within its regulating range of 1 mA to 5 mA trimmer). The gain temperature coefficient of the AD565A is (2 mA to 5 mA for operation beyond +85°C). primarily governed by the temperature tracking of the 19.95 kΩ resistor and the 5 kΩ to10 kΩ span resistors; gain TC is guaran- teed to 3 ppm/°C.
