APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
TYPICAL APPLICATION CIRCUIT
The AD5303/AD5313/AD5323 can be used with a wide range
of reference voltages, especially if the reference inputs are con-
figured to be unbuffered, in which case the devices offer a full,
one-quadrant multiplying capability over a reference range of
0 V to VDD.
More typically, the AD5303/AD5313/AD5323 may be used
with a fixed precision reference voltage.
Figure 39 shows a
typical setup for the AD5303/AD5313/AD5323 when using
an external reference. If the reference inputs are unbuffered,
the reference input range is from 0 V to VDD, but if the on-chip
reference buffers are used, the reference range is reduced. Suit-
able references for 5 V operation are the
AD780 and
REF192(2.5 V references). For 2.5 V operation, a suitable external
reference is the
REF191, a 2.048 V reference.

Figure 39. AD5303/AD5313/AD5323 Using External Reference
If an output range of 0 V to VDD is required when the reference
inputs are configured as unbuffered (for example, 0 V to 5 V),
the simplest solution is to connect the reference inputs to VDD.
As this supply may not be very accurate and may be noisy, the
AD5303/AD5313/AD5323 can be powered from the reference
voltage, for example, using a 5 V reference such as the
REF195,voltage for the AD5303/AD5313/AD5323. The supply current
required from the
REF195 is 300 μA and approximately 30 μA
or 60 μA into each of the reference inputs (if unbuffered). This
is with no load on the DAC outputs. When the DAC outputs are
loaded, the
REF195 also needs to supply the current to the
loads. The total current required (with a 10 kΩ load on each
output) is
360 μA + 2(5 V/10 kΩ) = 1.36 mA
The load regulation of the
REF195 is typically 2 ppm/mA, which
results in an error of 2.7 ppm (13.5 μV) for the 1.36 mA current
drawn from it. This corresponds to a 0.0007 LSB error at eight
bits and 0.011 LSB error at 12 bits.

BIPOLAR OPERATION USING THE AD5303/
AD5313/AD5323
The AD5303/AD5313/AD5323 have been designed for single-
supply operation, but bipolar operation is also achievable using
the circuit shown in
Figure 41. The circuit shown has been con-
figured to achieve an output voltage range of 5 V < VOUT < +5 V.
