T he AD7112 consists of a dual 17-bit R-2R CMOS multiplying
D/A converter with extensive digital logic. Figure 1 shows a sim-
plified circuit of the D/A converter section of the AD7112. T he
logic translates the 8-bit binary input into a 17-bit word which is
used to drive the D/A converter. Figure 2 shows a typical circuit
configuration for the AD7112.
T he transfer function for the circuit of Figure 2 is given by:

the output is zero. T able I gives the output attenuation relative
to 0 dB for all possible input codes.

Figure 1. Simplified D/A Circuit of 1/2 AD7112
Figures 16 and 17 give a pictorial representation of the specified
accuracy and monotonic ranges for all grades of the AD7112.
High attenuation levels are specified with less accuracy than low
attenuation levels. T he range of monotonic behavior depends
upon the attenuation step size used. T o achieve monotonic op-
eration over the entire 88.5 dB range, it is necessary to select in-
put codes so that the attenuation step size at any point is
consistent with the step size guaranteed for monotonic opera-
tion at that point.
