PROGRAMMABLE DAC REFERENCE VOLTAGE
With the flexibility of the AD7398/AD7399, one of the internal
DACs can be used to control a common programmable V
REFX
for the remainder of the DACs.
The circuit configuration is shown in Figure 37. The relationship of
V
REFX
to V
REF
is dependent upon the digital code and the ratio of
R1 and R2, and is given by

The accuracy of V
REFX
is affected by the quality of R1 and R2.
Therefore, tight tolerance, low tempco, thin film resistors
should be used.
