BIPOLAR OUT PUT OPE RAT ION
T he AD7224 can be configured to provide bipolar output op-
eration using one external amplifier and two resistors. Figure 6
shows a circuit used to implement offset binary coding. In this

is a fractional representation of the digital word in

Mismatch between R1 and R2 causes gain and offset errors;
therefore, these resistors must match and track over tempera-
ture. Once again, the AD7224 can be operated in single supply
or from positive/negative supplies. T able III shows the digital
code versus output voltage relationship for the circuit of Figure
6 with R1 = R2.

AGND BIAS
T he AD7224 AGND pin can be biased above system GND
(AD7224 DGND) to provide an offset “zero” analog output
voltage level. Figure 7 shows a circuit configuration to achieve
this. T he output voltage, V
OUT
, is expressed as:
V
OUT
=
V
BIAS
+
D
(
V
IN
)
where
D
is a fractional representation of the digital word in
DAC register and can vary from 0 to 255/256.
For a given V
IN
, increasing AGND above system GND will re-
duce the effective V
DD
–V
REF
which must be at least 4 V to en-
sure specified operation. Note that V
DD
and V
SS
for the AD7224
must be referenced to DGND.
