Boost Supply and High-Voltage DAC Provide Tuning Signal for Antennas and Filters -  Several designs included here, please scroll to find this one. . . .  [Analog Devices-Analog Dialogue by Kavanagh, Ken]

 

Buffer adapts single ended signals for differential inputs -  09/02/04  EDN Design Idea   DC coupling of single-ended signals into differential-input, single-supply ADCs can be challenging. The input signal requires level shifting from ground to VS/2 as well as single-ended-to-differential conversion. In addition, you mu. . .  [by Randall Carver, Analog Devices Inc, Greensboro, NC]

 

Build Precise S/H Amps for Fast 12-Bit ADCs -  AN-271 Analog Devices App Note. . . 

Cascode Circuit Lessens DAC Degradation -  02/03/97 EDN Design Idea   Current-output D/A converters usually deliver their best accuracy if the current-output (summing-junction) pin remains at a constant dc voltage, because of the finite output impedance of the current-out DAC output (Figure 1). Two . . .  [by Mark Shill, Burr-Brown, Tucson, AZ]

 

Centronics Port D/A converters & low-pass filter -  JDAC and CENT_DAC are both simple Digital to Analogue converter to use with your IBM PC/AT or compatible. Those circuit are connected to Centronics parallel port and does not affect the normal port usage in any way. The circuits are transparent to computer, so it is not possible to program to see if those devices are connected or not.. . .  [Designed by Tomi Engdahl]

 

Choosing DACs for Direct Digital Synthesis -  AN-237-Analog Device App Note. . . 

 

Circuit Applications of the AD7226 Quad CMOS DAC -  AN-317 Analog Devices App Note. . . 

 

Circuit compensates system offset of a load-cell-based balance -  08/16/07  EDN Design Idea   A dual DAC stores the system-offset voltage, which gets determined during a power-on calibration sequence. . .  [by Luca Bruno, ITIS Hensemberger, Monza, Italy]

 

Circuit converts DAC's outputs from single-ended to differential mode -  06/08/06  EDN Design Idea   This design suits low-end ac applications or high-precision level-setting applications that rely on a single-ended current-output DAC. . .  [by Liam Riordan, Analog Devices, Limerick, Ireland]

 

Circuit Loads Eight-Channel DAC from PC Port -  08/03/95 EDN Design Idea   The circuit in Fig 1 loads 4 address bits and 8 data bits into IC8's 8-bit octal, two-quadrant multiplying DAC from a PC parallel port. Initially, the circuit loads the desired data on the D0 through D7 pins of the parallel port . . .  [by Daniel Segarra, Sipex Corp, Billerica, MA]

 

Circuit maximizes pulse-width-modulated DAC throughput -  03/22/13  EDN Design Idea   This ramp-based DAC uses microcontroller-generated clocks and a sample-and-hold. Simple DACs realized by lowpass filtering microcontroller-generated pulse-width-modulated (PWM) signals have a response that is typically a tenth of the PWM frequency. This Design Idea is a novel implementation of a previously published method1 employing a reference ramp whose output is sampled and held by the PWM signal. This approach results in a throughput rate equal to the PWM frequency. . . .  [by Ajoy Raman]

 

CMOS DACs Act As Digitally Controlled Voltage Dividers -  06/26/08  EDN Design Idea   You can employ a DAC to operate as a digitally programmable resistor from a single supply. . .  [by John Wynne and Liam Riordan, Analog Devices, Limerick, Ireland]

 

CMOS DACs in the Voltage-Switching Mode -  Scroll to find this circuit. . .  [Analog Devices-Analog Dialogue by Stephenson, Steve]

 

CMOS Multiplying DAC Based Panning Circuit Provides Almost Constant Output Power -  AN-206 Analog Devices App NoteAudio signal processing sometimes requires splitting or "panning" a single signal source into multiple channels. This application note describes how CMOS M-DACs can control the relative signal levels of the derived channels. . . . 

 

CMOS Multiplying DACs & Op Amps Combine to Build Programmable Gain Amplifier, Part 1 -  AN-320B Analog Devices App Note. . . 

 

Combine two 8-bit outputs to make one 16-bit DAC -  09/30/04  EDN Design Idea   Inexpensive, 16-bit, monolithic DACs can serve almost all applications. However, some applications require unconventional approaches. This Design Idea   design concerns circuitry I recently designed for a tunable-diode laser spectro. . .  [by Steve Woodward, Chapel Hill, NC]

 

Compensate  system offset of a load-cell-based balance -  08/16/07  EDN Design Idea   A dual DAC stores the system-offset voltage, which gets determined during a power-on calibration sequence. . .  [by Luca Bruno, ITIS Hensemberger, Monza, Italy]
