4.1.3

OFFSET ERROR

An offset error is the deviation from zero voltage output

when the digital input code is zero.

4.1.4

GAIN ERROR

A gain error is the deviation from the ideal output,

VREF– 1 LSB, excluding the effects of offset error.

Circuit Descriptions

4.2.1

OUTPUT AMPLIFIER

The DAC’s output is buffered with a low-power,

precision CMOS amplifier. This amplifier provides low

offset voltage and low noise. The output stage enables

the device to operate with output voltages close to the

power supply rails. Refer to Section 1.0 “Electrical

Characteristics” for the analog output voltage range

and load conditions.

In addition to resistive load driving capability, the

amplifier will also drive high capacitive loads without

oscillation. The amplifier’s strong output allows VOUT to

be used as a programmable voltage reference in a

system.

Selecting a gain of 2 reduces the bandwidth of the

amplifier in Multiplying mode. Refer to Section 1.0

“Electrical Characteristics” for the Multiplying mode

bandwidth for given load conditions.

4.2.1.1

Programmable Gain Block

The rail-to-rail output amplifier has two configurable

gain options: a gain of 1x (<GA> = 1) or a gain of 2x

(<GA> = 0). The default value is a gain of 2x

(<GA>= 0).

4.2.2

VOLTAGE REFERENCE AMPLIFIER

The input buffer amplifier for the MCP4901/4911/4921

devices provides low offset voltage and low noise. A

Configuration bit for each DAC allows the VREF input to

bypass the VREF input buffer amplifier, achieving

Buffered or Unbuffered mode. Buffered mode provides

a very high input impedance, with only minor limitations

on the input range and frequency response. Unbuf-

fered mode provides a wide input range (0V to VDD),

with a typical input impedance of 165 k

 with 7 pF.

Unbuffered mode (<BUF> = 0) is

the default

configuration.

4.2.3

POWER-ON RESET CIRCUIT

The internal Power-on Reset (POR) circuit monitors the

power supply voltage (VDD) during device operation.

The circuit also ensures that the device powers up with

high output impedance (<SHDN> = 0, typically

500 k

. The devices will continue to have a high-

impedance output until a valid write command is

received, and the LDAC pin meets the input low thresh-

old.

If the power supply voltage is less than the POR

threshold (VPOR = 2.0V, typical), the device will be held

in its Reset state. It will remain in that state until

VDD >VPOR and a subsequent write command is

received.

Figure 4-3 shows a typical power supply transient

pulse and the duration required to cause a reset to

occur, as well as the relationship between the duration

and trip voltage. A 0.1 µF decoupling capacitor,

mounted as close as possible to the VDD pin, can

provide additional transient immunity.
