Separate on-chip latches are provided for each of AGND 5 17 A0
the four DACs. Data is transferred into one of
these data latches through a common 8-bit DGND 6 16 A1
TTL /CMOS-compatible 5-V input port. Control DB7 7 15 WR
inputs A0 and A1 determine which DAC is loaded DB6 8 14 DB0
when WR goes low. The control logic is speed 9 10 11 12 13
compatible with most 8-bit microprocessors.

Each DAC includes an output buffer amplifier
capable of sourcing up to 5 mA of output current.
The TLC7226 performance is specified for input reference voltages from 2 V to VDD − 4 V with dual supplies.
The voltage mode configuration of the DACs allows the TLC7226 to be operated from a single power supply
rail at a reference of 10 V.
The TLC7226 is fabricated in a LinBiCMOS process that has been specifically developed to allow high-speed
digital logic circuits and precision analog circuits to be integrated on the same chip. The TLC7226 has a common
8-bit data bus with individual DAC latches. This provides a versatile control architecture for simple interface to
microprocessors. All latch-enable signals are level triggered.
Combining four DACs, four operational amplifiers, and interface logic into either a 0.3-inch wide, 20-terminal
dual-in-line IC (DIP) or a small 20-terminal small-outline IC (SOIC) allows a dramatic reduction in board space
requirements and offers increased reliability in systems using multiple converters. The Leadless Ceramic Chip
Carrier (LCCC) package provides for operation at military temperature range. The pinout is aimed at optimizing
board layout with all of the analog inputs and outputs at one end of the package and all of the digital inputs at
the other.
Please be aware that an important notice concerning availability, standard warranty, and use in critical applications of
Texas Instruments semiconductor products and disclaimers thereto appears at the end of this data sheet.

† Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “recommended operating conditions” is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
‡ The VSS terminal is connected to the substrate and must be tied to the most negative supply voltage applied to the device.
NOTES: 1. Output voltages may be shorted to AGND provided that the power dissipation of the package is not exceeded. Typically short circuit
current to AGND is 60 mA.
2. For operation above TA = 75°C, derate linearly at the rate of 2 mW/°C.

Increasing AGND above system GND reduces the output range. VDD − Vref must be at least 4 V to ensure
specified operation. Since the AGND terminal is common to all four DACs, this method biases up the output
voltages of all the DACs in the TLC7226. Supply voltages VDD and VSS for the TLC7226 should be referenced
to DGND.

DAC Code
Negative
Offset
This negative offset error, not the linearity error, produces the breakpoint. The transfer function would have
followed the dotted line if the output buffer could be driven to a negative voltage.
For a DAC, linearity is measured between zero input code (all inputs 0) and full scale code (all inputs 1) after
offset and full scale are adjusted out or accounted for in some way. However, single power supply operation does
not allow for adjustment when the offset is negative due to the breakpoint in the transfer function. So the linearity
in the unipolar mode is measured between full scale code and the lowest code which produces a positive output
voltage.
The code is calculated from the maximum specification for the negative offset.

Mismatch between R1 and R2 causes gain and offset errors. Therefore, these resistors must match and track
over temperature. The TLC7226 can be operated with a single power supply or from positive and negative
power supplies.

multiplying DAC
The TLC7226 can be used as a multiplying DAC when the reference signal is maintained between 2 V and
VDD − 4 V. When this configuration is used, VDD should be 14.25 V to 15.75 V. A low output-impedance buffer
should be used so that the input signal is not loaded by the resistor ladder. Figure 14 shows the general
schematic.
