DAC1401D125
Dual 14-bit DAC, up to 125 Msps
Rev. 03 — 2 July 2012
Product data sheet
1. General description
The DAC1401D125 is a dual port, high-speed, 2-channel CMOS Digital-to-Analog
Converter (DAC), optimized for high dynamic performance with low power dissipation.
Supporting an update rate of up to 125 Msps, the DAC1401D125 is suitable for Direct IF
applications.
Separate write inputs allow data to be written to the two DAC ports independently of one
another. Two separate clocks control the update rate of each DAC port.
The DAC1401D125 can interface two separate data ports or one single interleaved
high-speed data port. In Interleaved mode, the input data stream is demultiplexed into its
original I and Q data and latched. The I and Q data is then converted by the two DACs
and updated at half the input data rate.
Each DAC port has a high-impedance differential current output, suitable for both
single-ended and differential analog output configurations.
The DAC1401D125 is pin compatible with the AD9767, DAC2904 and DAC5672.

10. Application information
10.1 General description
The DAC1401D125 is a dual 14-bit DAC operating up to 125 Msps. Each DAC consists of
a segmented architecture, comprising a 7-bit thermometer sub-DAC and a 7-bit binary
weighted sub-DAC.
Two modes are available for the digital input depending on the status of the pin MODE. In
Dual port mode, each DAC uses its own data input line at the same frequency as the
update rate. In Interleaved mode, both DACs use the same data input line at twice the
update rate.
Each DAC generates on pins IOUTAP/IOUTAN and IOUTBP/IOUTBN two complementary
current outputs. This provides a full-scale output current (IO(fs)), up to 20 mA. A single
common or two independent full-scale current controls can be selected for both channels
using pin GAINCTRL. An internal reference is available for the reference current which is
externally adjustable using pin REFIO.
The DAC1401D125 operates at 3.3 V and has separate digital and analog power
supplies. Pin PWD is used to power-down the device. The digital input is 1.8 V compliant,
3.3 V compliant and 5 V tolerant.
10.2 Input data
The DAC1401D125 input follows a straight binary coding where DA13 and DB13 are the
Most Significant Bits (MSB) and DA0 and DB0 are the Least Significant Bits (LSB).
The setting applied to pin MODE defines whether the DAC1401D125 operates in Dual
port mode or in Interleaved mode (see Table 6).

In Interleaved mode, both DACs use the same data and clock inputs at twice the update
rate. Data enters the latch on the rising edge of IQWRT. The data is sent to either latch A
or latch B, depending on the value of IQSEL. The IQSEL transition must occur when
IQWRT and IQCLK are LOW.
The IQCLK is divided by 2 internally and the data is transferred to the DAC latch. It is
updated on its rising edge. When IQRESET is HIGH, IQCLK is disabled, see Figure 17.

10.3 Timing
The DAC1401D125 can operate at an update rate up to 125 Msps. This generates an
input data rate of 125 MHz in Dual port mode and 250 MHz in Interleaved mode. The
timing of the DAC1401D125 is shown in Figure 18.

Fig 18. Timing of the DAC1401D125
The typical performances are measured at 50 % duty cycle but any timing within the limits
of the characteristics will not alter the performance.
• A configuration resulting in the same timing for the signals WRTA/WRTB and
CLKA/CLKB, can be achieved either by synchronizing them or by connecting them
together.
• The rising edge of the CLKA/CLKB signal can also be placed in a range from half a
period in front of the rising edge of the WRTA/WRTB signal to half a period minus 1 ns
after the rising edge of the WRTA/WRTB signal.
A typical set-up time of 0 ns and a hold time of 0.6 ns enable the DAC1405D125 to be
easily integrated into any application.
10.4 DAC transfer function
The full-scale output current for each DAC is the sum of the two complementary current
outputs:
(1)
I O  fs  = I IOUTP + I IOUTN
The output current depends on the digital input data:

 16383 – DATA 

10.5 Full-scale current adjustment
The DAC1401D125 integrates one 1.25 V reference and two current sources to adjust the
full-scale current in both DACs.
The internal reference configuration is shown in Figure 19.

Fig 19. Internal reference configuration
The bias current is generated by the output of the internal regulator connected to the
inverting input of the internal operational amplifiers. The external resistors RA and RB are
connected to pins AVIRES and BVIRES, respectively. This configuration is optimal for
temperature drift compensation because the bandgap can be matched with the voltage on
the feedback resistors.
The relationship between full-scale output current (IO(fs)) at the output of channel A or
channel B and the resistor is:
24V REFIO
I O  fs  = -----------------------RA
(2)
The output current of the two DACs is typically fixed at 20 mA when both resistors RA and
RB are set to 1.5 k. The operational range of DAC1401D125 is from 2 mA to 20 mA.
It is recommended to decouple pin REFIO using a 100 nF capacitor.

An external reference can also be used for applications requiring higher accuracy or
precise current adjustment. Due to the high input impedance of pin REFIO, applying an
external source disables the bandgap.

In Independent gain mode, both full-scale currents can be adjusted independently using
resistors RA on pin AVIRES and RB on pin BVIRES.
In Common gain mode, the full-scale current is adjusted with resistor RA on pin AVIRES
and divided by two in both DACs.
10.7 Analog outputs
See Figure 20 for the analog output circuit of one DAC. This circuit consists of a parallel
combination of PMOS current sources and associated switches for each segment.

Fig 20. Equivalent analog output circuit
Cascode source configuration enables the output impedance of the source to be
increased, thus improving the dynamic performance by reducing distortion.
The DAC1401D125 can be used either with:
• a differential output, coupled to a transformer (or operational amplifier) to reduce
even-order harmonics and noise
• or a single-ended output for applications requiring unipolar voltage.
The typical configuration is to use 1 V p-p level on each output IOUTAP/IOUTBP and
IOUTAN/IOUTBN but several combinations can be used as far as they respect the voltage
compliance range.

10.7.1 Differential output using transformer
The use of a differentially coupled transformer output (see Figure 21) provides optimum
distortion performance. In addition, it helps to match the impedance and provides
electrical isolation.

The center tap is grounded to allow the DC current flow to/from both outputs. If the center
tap is open, the differential resistor must be replaced by two resistors connected to
ground.
10.7.2 Single-ended output
Using a single load resistor on one current output will provide an unipolar output range,
typically from 0 V to 0.5 V with a 20 mA full-scale current at a 50  load.
