ZHCSHA4B July 2007 – January 2018 DAC8881
PRODUCTION DATA.
The DAC8881 is designed for single-supply operation; however, a bipolar output is also possible using the circuit shown in Figure 72. This circuit gives a bipolar output voltage of VOUT. When GAIN = 1, VOUT can be calculated using Equation 2:
Where:
VBIP(CODE) = bipolar output voltage versus CODE from the OPA211.
CODE = 0 to 262143. This is the digital code loaded to the DAC.
VREF = reference high voltage applied to the DAC8881.
As an example, a ±8-V output span can be achieved by using values of 5 V, 6.25 kΩ, 16.67 kΩ, and 10 kΩ for Vref, R1, R2, and R3 respectively.
