BIPOLAR OPERATION
The DAC108S085 is designed for single supply operation and thus has a unipolar output. However, a bipolar
output may be achieved with the circuit in. This circuit will provide an output voltage range of ±5 Volts. A rail-to-
rail amplifier should be used if the amplifier supplies are limited to ±5V.

VARIABLE CURRENT SOURCE OUTPUT
The DAC108S085 is a voltage output DAC but can be easily converted to a current output with the addition of an
opamp. In Figure 37, one of the channels of the DAC108S085 is converted to a variable current source capable
of sourcing up to 40mA.
