AD5424: How to calculator R1 and R2 value?

Hi,

I designed a application use AD5424 and Op Amps UA741CDT with Vref =+5V, C1=1pF in below.

I want the voltage of the Vout from 0V to -5V. How to calculator value R1 and R2 ? 

P/s: I try to use R2 and R1=0 ohm but the Vout =1.9V and the Vout don't change when i change the data inputs?

  • Hi, 

    In you case, with a Vref of -5V, there's no need to put R1 or R2, or just set them to 0 as you did. Your Vout range should be 0 to -Vref. If you followed the circuit, everything should be fine for your DAC. Next thing you could check is your data input. Make sure you're following the timings provided in the datasheet Figure 2 and Table 2. 

    What you can check is the connection of your opamp. Make sure you connect the IOUT1 to the -in and the IOUT2 to +in/gnd. Also check that you are supplying enough on you amplifier. You might need lower than -5V depending on your opamps spec. you could try -7V or lower. 

    Best regards,
