HI20201
Detailed Description
The HI20201 is a 10-bit, current output D/A converter. The
DAC can run at 160MHz and is ECL compatible. The architecture is segmented/R2R combination to reduce glitch and
improve linearity.
Architecture
The HI20201 is a combined R2R/segmented current source
design. The 6 least significant bits of the converter are
derived by a traditional R2R network to binary weight the
1mA current sources. The upper 4 most significant bits are
implemented as segmented or thermometer encoded current sources. The encoder converts the incoming 4 bits to 15
control lines to enable the most significant current sources.
The thermometer encoder will convert binary to individual
control lines. See Table 1.
01 1111 1111 to 10 0000 0000. But in the HI20201 the glitch
is moved to the 00 0001 1111 to 11 1110 0000 transition.
This is achieved by the split R2R/segmented current source
architecture. This decreases the amount of current switching
at any one time and makes the glitch practically constant
over the entire output range. By making the glitch a constant
size over the entire output range this effectively integrates
this error out of the end application.
In measuring the output glitch of the HI20201 the output is
terminated into a 75Ω load. The glitch is measured at the
major carry’s throughout the DAC’s output range.

FIGURE 6. HI20201 GLITCH TEST CIRCUIT
The glitch energy is calculated by measuring the area under
the voltage-time curve. Figure 7 shows the area considered
as glitch when changing the DAC output. Units are typically
specified in picoVolt/seconds (pV/s).
A (mV)
The architecture of the HI20201 is designed to minimize
glitch while providing a manufacturable 10-bit design that
does not require laser trimming to achieve good linearity.
GLITCH ENERGY = (a x t)/2
t (ns)
FIGURE 7. GLITCH ENERGY
Glitch
Glitch is caused by the time skew between bits of the
incoming digital data. Typically the switching time of digital
inputs are asymmetrical meaning that the turn off time is
faster than the turn on time (TTL designs). In an ECL system
where the logic levels switch from one non-saturated level to
another, the switching times can be considered close to
symmetrical. This helps to reduce glitch in the D/A. Unequal
delay paths through the device can also cause one current
source to change before another. To minimize this the Intersil
HI20201 employs an internal register, just prior to the current
sources, that is updated on the clock edge. Lastly the worst
case glitch usually happens at the major transition i.e.,
Setting Full Scale
The full scale output voltage is set by the Voltage Reference
pin (27). The output voltage performance will vary as shown
in Figure 2.
The output structure of the HI20201 can handle down to a
75Ω load effectively. To drive a 50Ω load Figure 8 is suggested. Note the equivalent output load is ~75Ω.

Clock Phase Relationship
The HI20201 is designed to be operated at very high speed
(i.e., 160MHz). The clock lines should be driven with
ECL100K logic for full performance. Any external data
drivers and clock drivers should be terminated with 50Ω to
minimize reflections and ringing.

Internal Data Register
(18, 19, 21-25) NC
The HI20201 incorporates a data register as shown in the
Functional Block Diagram. This register is updated on the
rising edge of the CLK line. The state of the Complement bit
(COMPL) will determine the data coding. See Table 2.
FIGURE 8. HI20201 DRIVING A 50Ω LOAD
Variable Attenuator Capability
TABLE 2. INPUT CODING TABLE
The HI20201 can be used in a multiplying mode with a
variable frequency input on the VREF pin. In order for the
part to operate correctly a DC bias must be applied and the
incoming AC signal should be coupled to the VREF pin. See
Figure 13 for the application circuit. The user must first
adjust the DC reference voltage. The incoming signal must
be attenuated so as not to exceed the maximum (+1.4V) and
minimum (+0.5V) reference input. The typical output Small
Signal Bandwidth is 14MHz.

Integral Linearity
Thermal Considerations
The Integral Linearity is measured using the End Point
method. In the End Point method the gain is adjusted. A line
is then established from the zero point to the end point or
Full Scale of the converter. All codes along the transfer curve
must fall within an error band of 1 LSB of the line. Figure 10
shows the linearity test circuit.
The temperature coefficient of the full scale output voltage
and zero offset voltage depend on the load resistance connected to IOUT . The larger the load resistor, the better (i.e.,
smaller) the temperature coefficient of the D/A. See Figure 3
in the performance curves section.
Differential Linearity
Digital switching noise must be minimized to guarantee system
specifications. Since 1 LSB corresponds to 1mV for 10-bit resolution, care must be taken in the layout of a circuit board.
The Differential Linearity is the difference from the ideal step.
To guarantee monotonicity a maximum of 1 LSB differential
error is allowed. When more than 1 LSB is specified the converter is considered to be missing codes. Figure 10 shows
the linearity test circuit.
Noise Reduction
Separate ground planes should be used for DVSS and
AVSS . They should be connected back at the power supply.
Separate power planes should be used for DVEE and AVEE .
They should be decoupled with a 1µF tantalum capacitor
and a ceramic 0.047µF capacitor positioned as close to the
body of the IC as possible.

between V and V0(FS) as shown in the D/A output waveform
in Figure 12 is expressed as
V = V0(FS) (1 - e-tτ).
The settling time for respective accuracy of 10, 9 and 8-bit is
specified as
τ
V = 0.9995 V0(FS)
V = 0.999 V0(FS)
V = 0.999 V0(FS)
which results in the following:
tS = 7.60τ
tS = 6.93τ
tS = 6.24τ
for 10-bit,
for 9-bit, and
for 8-bit,
V
Rise time (tr) and fall time (tf) are defined as the time interval
to slew from 10% to 90% of full scale voltage (V0(FS)):
V = 0.1 V0(FS)
V = 0.9 V0(FS)
τ
FIGURE 12. D/A OUTPUT WAVEFORM
and calculated as tr = tf = 2.20τ.
The settling time is obtained by combining these expressions:
tS = 3.45tr
tS = 3.15tr
tS = 6.24tr
V0(FS) = 1V
for 10-bit,
for 9-bit, and
for 8-bit
