Figure 1. A Reference for Monolithic D/A Converters
Providing the Reference Current
for ON Semiconductor Monolithic D/A Converters
The MC1403 makes an ideal reference for many mono-
lithic D/A converters, requiring a stable current reference of
nominally 2.0 mA. This can be easily obtained from the
MC1403 with the addition of a series resistor, R1. A variable
resistor, R2, is recommended to provide means for full−
scale adjust on the D/A converter.
The resistor R3 improves temperature performance by
matching the impedance on both inputs of the D/A reference
amplifier. The capacitor decouples any noise present on the
reference line. It is essential if the D/A converter is located
any appreciable distance from the reference.
A single MC1403 reference can provide the required
current input for up to five of the monolithic D/A converters.
