DIFFERENTIAL BUFFERED OUTPUT
USING AN OP AMP
used in a differential version of the single-ended buffer shown
pin must be buffered to keep the load current less than 100 nA.
The same RC network is used to form a one-pole differential,
low-pass filter to isolate the op amp inputs from the high
frequency images produced by the DAC outputs. The feedback
resistors, RFB, determine the differential peak-to-peak signal swing
by the formula
VOUT = 2 × RFB × IFS
The maximum and minimum single-ended voltages out of the

AUXILIARY DACs
The DACs of the AD9114/AD9115/AD9116/AD9117 feature
two versatile and independent 10-bit auxiliary DACs suitable
for dc offset correction and similar tasks.
Because the AUXDACs are driven through the SPI port, they
should never be used in timing-critical applications, such as
inside analog feedback loops.
To keep the pin count reasonable, these auxiliary DACs each
share a pin with the corresponding FSADJx resistor. They are,
therefore, usable only when enabled and when that DAC is
operated on its internal full-scale resistors. A simple I-to-V
converter is implemented on-chip with selectable shunt resistors
(3.2 kΩ to 16 kΩ) such that if REFIO is set to exactly 1 V, REFIO/2
equals 0.5 V and the following equation describes the no load
output voltage:

Figure 105 illustrates the function of all the SPI bits controlling
these DACs with the exception of the QAUXEN (Register 0x0A)
and IAUXEN (Register 0x0C) bits and gating to prohibit
