NOTES:
4. Gain Error measured as the error in the ratio between the full scale output current and the current through RSET (typically 625µA). Ideally, the
ratio should be 32.
5. Power supply current measurements are performed with all digital inputs at either DVDD or DCOM
6. Spectral measurements made with differential transformer coupled output and no external filtering. For multitone testing, the same pattern was
used at different clock rates, producing different output frequencies but at the same ratio to the clock rate.
7. Measured with the clock at 130MSPS and the output frequency at 5MHz.
8. See “Definition of Specifications” on page 9.
9. Recommended operation is from 3.0V to 3.6V. Operation below 3.0V is possible with some degradation in spectral performance. Reduction in
analog output current may be necessary to maintain spectral performance.
10. See “Typical Performance” plots on page 7.
11. Tested in production with a clock pulse width of 50% duty cycle.

Definition of Specifications
Adjacent Channel Power Ratio, ACPR, is the ratio of the
average power in the adjacent frequency channel (or offset)
to the average power in the transmitted frequency channel.
Differential Linearity Error, DNL, is the measure of the
step size output deviation from code to code. Ideally, the
step size should be 1 LSB. A DNL specification of 1 LSB or
less guarantees monotonicity.
EDGE, Enhanced Data for Global Evolution, a TDMA
standard for cellular applications which uses 200kHz BW,
8-PSK modulated carriers.
Full Scale Gain Drift, is measured by setting the data inputs
to be all logic high (all 1s) and measuring the output voltage
through a known resistance as the temperature is varied
from TMIN to TMAX . It is defined as the maximum deviation
from the value measured at room temperature to the value
measured at either TMIN or TMAX . The units are ppm of FSR
(full scale range) per °C.
Full Scale Gain Error, is the error from an ideal ratio of 32
between the output current and the full scale adjust current
(through RSET).
GSM, Global System for Mobile Communication, a TDMA
standard for cellular applications which uses 200kHz BW,
GMSK modulated carriers.
Integral Linearity Error, INL, is the measure of the worst
case point that deviates from a best fit straight line of data
values along the transfer curve.
Internal Reference Voltage Drift, is defined as the
maximum deviation from the value measured at room
temperature to the value measured at either TMIN or TMAX .
The units are ppm per °C.
Offset Drift, is measured by setting the data inputs to all
logic low (all 0s) and measuring the output voltage at IOUTA
through a known resistance as the temperature is varied
from TMIN to TMAX . It is defined as the maximum deviation
from the value measured at room temperature to the value
measured at either TMIN or TMAX . The units are ppm of FSR
(full scale range) per °C.
Offset Error, is measured by setting the data inputs to all
logic low (all 0s) and measuring the output voltage of IOUTA
through a known resistance. Offset error is defined as the
maximum deviation of the IOUTA output current from a value
of 0mA.
Output Voltage Compliance Range, is the voltage limit
imposed on the output. The output impedance should be
chosen such that the voltage developed does not violate the
compliance range.
Power Supply Rejection, is measured using a single power
supply. The nominal supply voltage is varied ±10% and the
change in the DAC full scale output is noted.
9
Reference Input Multiplying Bandwidth, is defined as the
3dB bandwidth of the voltage reference input. It is measured
by using a sinusoidal waveform as the external reference
with the digital inputs set to all 1s. The frequency is
increased until the amplitude of the output waveform is
0.707 (-3dB) of its original value.
Spurious Free Dynamic Range, SFDR, is the amplitude
difference from the fundamental signal to the largest
harmonically or non-harmonically related spur within the
specified frequency window.
Total Harmonic Distortion, THD, is the ratio of the RMS
value of the fundamental output signal to the RMS sum of
the first five harmonic components.
UMTS, Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, a
W-CDMA standard for cellular applications which uses
3.84MHz modulated carriers.
Detailed Description
The ISL76161 is a 12-bit, current out, CMOS, digital to
analog converter. The maximum update rate is at least
130MSPS and can be powered by a single power supply in
the recommended range of +3.0V to +3.6V. Operation with
clock rates higher than 130MSPS is possible; please contact
the factory for more information. It consumes less than
120mW of power when using a +3.3V supply, the maximum
20mA of output current, and the data switching at 130MSPS.
The architecture is based on a segmented current source
arrangement that reduces glitch by reducing the amount of
current switching at any one time. In previous architectures
that contained all binary weighted current sources or a
binary weighted resistor ladder, the converter may have had
a substantially larger amount of current turning on and off at
certain, worst-case transition points, such as midscale and
quarter scale transitions. By greatly reducing the amount of
current switching at these major transitions, the overall glitch
of the converter is dramatically reduced, improving settling
time, transient problems, and accuracy.
Digital Inputs and Termination
The ISL76161 digital inputs are guaranteed to 3V LVCMOS
levels. The internal register is updated on the rising edge of
the clock. To minimize reflections, proper transmission line
termination should be implemented. If the lines driving the
clock and the digital inputs are long 50Ω lines, then proper
transmission line termination techniques should be used.
Termination is not likely needed as long as the digital
waveform source is within a few inches of the DAC. For
digital drivers with very high speed edge rates, it is
recommended that the user consider series resistors (50Ω to
200Ω) immediately prior to the DAC’s inputs in order to
reduce the amount of noise.
Power Supply
Separate digital and analog power supplies are recommended.
The allowable supply range is +2.7V to +3.6V. The
FN6720.1
September 9, 2008
ISL76161
recommended supply range is +3.0 to 3.6V (nominally +3.3V)
to maintain optimum SFDR. However, operation down to +2.7V
is possible with some degradation in SFDR. Reducing the
analog output current can help the SFDR at +2.7V. The SFDR
values stated in the “Electrical Specifications” table on page 4
were obtained with a +3.3V supply.
Ground Planes
Separate digital and analog ground planes should be used. All
of the digital functions of the device and their corresponding
components should be located over the digital ground plane
and terminated to the digital ground plane. The same is true
for the analog components and the analog ground plane.
Noise Reduction
To minimize power supply noise, 0.1μF capacitors should be
placed as close as possible to the converter’s power supply
pins, AVDD and DVDD . Also, the layout should be designed
using separate digital and analog ground planes and these
capacitors should be terminated to the digital ground for
DVDD and to the analog ground for AVDD . Additional filtering
of the power supplies on the board is recommended.
Analog Output
IOUTA and IOUTB are complementary current outputs. The
sum of the two currents is always equal to the full scale
output current minus one LSB. If single ended use is
desired, a load resistor can be used to convert the output
current to a voltage. It is recommended that the unused
output be either grounded or equally terminated. The voltage
developed at the output must not violate the nominal output
voltage compliance range of -1.0V to 1.25V. ROUT (the
impedance loading each current output) should be chosen
so that the desired output voltage is produced in conjunction
with the output full scale current. If a known line impedance
is to be driven, then the output load resistor should be
chosen to match this impedance. The output voltage
equation is:
V OUT = I OUT × R OUT
(EQ. 2)
The most effective method for reducing the power
consumption is to reduce the analog output current, which
dominates the supply current. The maximum recommended
output current is 20mA.
Voltage Reference
Differential Output
The internal voltage reference of the device has a nominal
value of +1.23V with a ±40ppm/°C drift coefficient over the
full temperature range of the converter. It is recommended
that a 0.1μF capacitor be placed as close as possible to the
REFIO pin, connected to the analog ground. The REFLO pin
(16) selects the reference. The internal reference can be
selected if pin 16 is tied low (ground). If an external
reference is desired, then pin 16 should be tied high (the
analog supply voltage) and the external reference driven into
REFIO, pin 17. The full scale output current of the converter
is a function of the voltage reference used and the value of
RSET. IOUT should be within the 2mA to 20mA range,
though operation below 2mA is possible, with performance
degradation.
IOUTA and IOUTB can be used in a differential-tosingle-ended arrangement to achieve better harmonic
rejection. With RDIFF = 50Ω and RLOAD = 50Ω, the circuit in
Figure 11 will provide a 500mVP-P (-2dBm) signal at the
output of the transformer if the full scale output current of the
DAC is set to 20mA (used for the “Electrical Specifications”
table on page 4). Values of RDIFF = 100Ω and RLOAD = 50Ω
were used for the “Typical Performance” curves on page 7.
The center tap in Figure 11 must be grounded.
If the internal reference is used, VFSADJ will equal
approximately 1.2V (pin 18). If an external reference is used,
VFSADJ will equal the external reference. The calculation for
IOUT (Full Scale) is:
I OUT ( Full Scale ) = ( V FSADJ ⁄ R
) × 32
SET
(EQ. 1)
If the full scale output current is set to approximately 20mA
by using the internal voltage reference (1.2V) and a 1.94kΩ
RSET resistor, then the input coding to output current will
resemble those shown in Table 1.
In the circuit in Figure 12, the user is left with the option to
ground or float the center tap. The DC voltage that will exist
at either IOUTA or IOUTB if the center tap is floating is
IOUTDC x 2 x (RA//RB) V because RDIFF is DC shorted by
the transformer, and the DC currents from each output add
constructively. If the center tap is grounded, the DC voltage
is 0V. Recommended values for the circuit in Figure 12 are
RA = RB = 50Ω, RDIFF = 100Ω, assuming RLOAD = 50Ω. The
performance of Figure 11 and Figure 12 is basically the
same, however leaving the center tap of Figure 12 floating
allows the circuit to find a more balanced virtual ground,
theoretically improving the even order harmonic rejection,
but likely reducing the signal swing available due to the
output voltage compliance range limitations.

The converter requires two clock rising edges for data to be
represented at the output. Each rising edge of the clock
captures the present data word and outputs the previous
data. The propagation delay is therefore 1/CLK, plus <2ns of
settling. See Figure 13.
