GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8801/AD8803 provides eight digitally controlled dc
voltage outputs. This potentiometer divider TrimDAC
®
allows
replacement of the mechanical trimmer function in new designs.
The AD8801/AD8803 is ideal for dc voltage adjustment
applications.
Easily programmed by serial interfaced microcontroller ports,
the AD8801 with its midscale preset is ideal for potentiometer
replacement where adjustments start at a nominal value. Appli-
cations such as gain control of video amplifiers, voltage con-
trolled frequencies and bandwidths in video equipment,
geometric correction and automatic adjustment in CRT com-
puter graphic displays are a few of the many applications ideally
suited for these parts. The AD8803 provides independent con-
trol of both the top and bottom end of the potentiometer divider
allowing a separate zero-scale voltage setting determined by the
V
REFL
pin. This is helpful for maximizing the resolution of de-
vices with a limited allowable voltage control range.
FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
(DACs 2–7 Omitted for Clarity)
Internally the AD8801/AD8803 contain eight voltage output
digital-to-analog converters, sharing a common reference volt-
age input.
Each DAC has its own DAC register that holds its output state.
These DAC registers are updated from an internal serial-to-par-
allel shift register that is loaded from a standard three-wire serial
input digital interface. Eleven data bits make up the data word
clocked into the serial input register. This data word is decoded
where the first 3 bits determine the address of the DAC register
to be loaded with the last 8 bits of data. The AD8801/AD8803
consumes only 5 µA from 5 V power supplies. In addition, in
shutdown mode reference input current consumption is also re-
duced to 5 µA while saving the DAC latch settings for use after
return to normal operation.
The AD8801/AD8803 is available in 16-pin plastic DIP and the
1.5 mm height SO-16 surface mount packages.

WARNING!
ESD SENSITIVE DEVICE
CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection.
Although these devices feature proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may
occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD
precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.
