Similar biasing is used. With an 8-bit bus, the AD7111 Figure 38. The circuit works off a single 5 V supply. The DACs provides an 88.5 dB attenuation range. Each bit resolves a 0.375 dB are biased to a 2 V reference level, which is sufficient to keep attenuation. Refer to the AD7111 data sheet for attenuation levels the internal R-2R ladder switches of the DACs operating prop- for each input code. erly. This voltage is also the optimal midpoint of the SSM2135 5V0.1µF common-mode and output swing range. With the circuit as 5V 10µF + 0.1µF shown in Figure 38, the maximum input and output swing is 3141647µF 1.25 V rms.
