DESCRIPTION
The DAC904 is a high-speed, Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC)
offering a 14-bit resolution option within the family of highperformance converters. Featuring pin compatibility among family members, the DAC908, DAC900, and DAC902 provide a
component selection option to an 8-, 10-, and 12-bit resolution,
respectively. All models within this family of DACs support
update rates in excess of 165MSPS with excellent dynamic
performance, and are especially suited to fulfill the demands of
a variety of applications.
The advanced segmentation architecture of the DAC904 is
optimized to provide a high Spurious-Free Dynamic Range
(SFDR) for single-tone, as well as for multi-tone signals—
essential when used for the transmit signal path of communication systems.
battery-operated systems. Further optimization can be realized
by lowering the output current with the adjustable full-scale
option.
For noncontinuous operation of the DAC904, a power-down
mode results in only 45mW of standby power.
The DAC904 comes with an integrated 1.24V bandgap reference and edge-triggered input latches, offering a complete
converter solution. Both +3V and +5V CMOS logic families can
be interfaced to the DAC904.
The reference structure of the DAC904 allows for additional
flexibility by utilizing the on-chip reference, or applying an
external reference. The full-scale output current can be adjusted
over a span of 2-20mA, with one external resistor, while maintaining the specified dynamic performance.
The DAC904 is available in SO-28 and TSSOP-28 packages.
The DAC904 has a high impedance (200kΩ) current output with
a nominal range of 20mA and an output compliance of up to
1.25V. The differential outputs allow for both a differential or
single-ended analog signal interface. The close matching of the
current outputs ensures superior dynamic performance in the
differential configuration, which can be implemented with a
transformer.
Utilizing a small geometry CMOS process, the monolithic DAC904
can be operated on a wide, single-supply range of +2.7V to
+5.5V. Its low power consumption allows for use in portable and

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling
and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation
to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be
more susceptible to damage because very small parametric
changes could cause the device not to meet its published
specifications.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
The segmented architecture results in a significant reduction
of the glitch energy, and improves the dynamic performance
(SFDR) and DNL. The current outputs maintain a very high
output impedance of greater than 200kΩ.
THEORY OF OPERATION
The architecture of the DAC904 uses the current steering
technique to enable fast switching and a high update rate. The
core element within the monolithic DAC is an array of segmented current sources that are designed to deliver a full-scale
output current of up to 20mA, as shown in Figure 1. An internal
decoder addresses the differential current switches each time
the DAC is updated and a corresponding output current is
formed by steering all currents to either output summing node,
IOUT or IOUT. The complementary outputs deliver a differential
output signal that improves the dynamic performance through
reduction of even-order harmonics, common-mode signals
(noise), and double the peak-to-peak output signal swing by a
factor of two, compared to single-ended operation.
The full-scale output current is determined by the ratio of the
internal reference voltage (1.24V) and an external resistor,
RSET. The resulting IREF is internally multiplied by a factor of
32 to produce an effective DAC output current that can range
from 2mA to 20mA, depending on the value of RSET.
The DAC904 is split into a digital and an analog portion, each
of which is powered through its own supply pin. The digital
section includes edge-triggered input latches and the decoder logic, while the analog section comprises the current
source array with its associated switches and the reference
circuitry.

DAC TRANSFER FUNCTION
The total output current, IOUTFS, of the DAC904 is the summation of the two complementary output currents:
+VA
DAC904
IOUTFS = IOUT + IOUT
(1)
The individual output currents depend on the DAC code and
can be expressed as:
IOUT = IOUTFS • (Code/16384)
(2)
IOUT = IOUTFS • (16383 – Code/16384)
(3)
where ‘Code’ is the decimal representation of the DAC data
input word. Additionally, IOUTFS is a function of the reference
current IREF, which is determined by the reference voltage
and the external setting resistor, RSET.
IOUTFS = 32 • IREF = 32 • VREF /RSET
(4)
In most cases the complementary outputs will drive resistive
loads or a terminated transformer. A signal voltage will
develop at each output according to:
VOUT = IOUT • RLOAD
(5)
VOUT = IOUT • RLOAD
(6)
The value of the load resistance is limited by the output
compliance specification of the DAC904. To maintain specified linearity performance, the voltage for IOUT and IOUT
should not exceed the maximum allowable compliance range.
The two single-ended output voltages can be combined to
find the total differential output swing:
(7)
VOUTDIFF = VOUT – VOUT =
(2 • Code – 16383)
• IOUTFS • RLOAD
16384
ANALOG OUTPUTS
The DAC904 provides two complementary current outputs,
IOUT and IOUT. The simplified circuit of the analog output
stage representing the differential topology is shown in
Figure 2. The output impedance of 200kΩ 12pF for IOUT
and IOUT results from the parallel combination of the differential switches, along with the current sources and associated
parasitic capacitances.
The signal voltage swing that may develop at the two
outputs, IOUT and IOUT, is limited by a negative and positive
compliance. The negative limit of –1V is given by the breakdown voltage of the CMOS process, and exceeding it will
compromise the reliability of the DAC904, or even cause
permanent damage. With the full-scale output set to 20mA,
the positive compliance equals 1.25V, operating with
IOUT
RL
RL
FIGURE 2. Equivalent Analog Output.
+VD = 5V. Note that the compliance range decreases to
about 1V for a selected output current of IOUTFS = 2mA.
Care should be taken that the configuration of the DAC904
does not exceed the compliance range to avoid degradation
of the distortion performance and integral linearity.
Best distortion performance is typically achieved with the
maximum full-scale output signal limited to approximately
0.5V. This is the case for a 50Ω doubly-terminated load and
a 20mA full-scale output current. A variety of loads can be
adapted to the output of the DAC904 by selecting a suitable
transformer while maintaining optimum voltage levels at
IOUT and IOUT. Furthermore, using the differential output
configuration in combination with a transformer will be instrumental for achieving excellent distortion performance. Common-mode errors, such as even-order harmonics or noise,
can be substantially reduced. This is particularly the case
with high output frequencies and/or output amplitudes below
full-scale.
For those applications requiring the optimum distortion and
noise performance, it is recommended to select a full-scale
output of 20mA. A lower full-scale range down to 2mA may
be considered for applications that require a low power
consumption, but can tolerate a reduced performance level.

OUTPUT CONFIGURATIONS
The current output of the DAC904 allows for a variety of
configurations, some of which are illustrated below. As mentioned previously, utilizing the converter’s differential outputs
will yield the best dynamic performance. Such a differential
output circuit may consist of an RF transformer (see Figure 3)
or a differential amplifier configuration (see Figure 4). The
DAC904

transformer configuration is ideal for most applications with ac
coupling, while op amps will be suitable for a DC-coupled
configuration.
The single-ended configuration (see Figure 6) may be considered for applications requiring a unipolar output voltage. Connecting a resistor from either one of the outputs to ground will
convert the output current into a ground-referenced voltage
signal. To improve on the DC linearity, an I-to-V converter can
be used instead. This will result in a negative signal excursion
and, therefore, requires a dual supply amplifier.
DIFFERENTIAL WITH TRANSFORMER
Using an RF transformer provides a convenient way of
converting the differential output signal into a single-ended
signal while achieving excellent dynamic performance, as
shown in Figure 3. The appropriate transformer should be
carefully selected based on the output frequency spectrum
and impedance requirements. The differential transformer
configuration has the benefit of significantly reducing common-mode signals, thus improving the dynamic performance
over a wide range of frequencies. Furthermore, by selecting
a suitable impedance ratio (winding ratio), the transformer
can be used to provide optimum impedance matching while
controlling the compliance voltage for the converter outputs.
The model shown in Figure 3 has a 1:1 ratio and may be
used to interface the DAC904 to a 50Ω load. This results in
a 25Ω load for each of the outputs, IOUT and IOUT. The output
signals are ac coupled and inherently isolated because of the
transformer's magnetic coupling.
As shown in Figure 3, the transformer’s center tap is connected to ground. This forces the voltage swing on IOUT and
IOUT to be centered at 0V. In this case the two resistors, RS,
may be replaced with one, RDIFF, or omitted altogether. This
approach should only be used if all components are close to
each other, and if the VSWR is not important. A complete
power transfer from the DAC output to the load can be
realized, but the output compliance range should be observed. Alternatively, if the center tap is not connected, the
signal swing will be centered at RS • IOUTFS /2. However, in
this case, the two resistors (RS) must be used to enable the
necessary DC-current flow for both outputs.

DIFFERENTIAL CONFIGURATION USING AN OP AMP
If the application requires a DC-coupled output, a difference
amplifier may be considered, as shown in Figure 4. Four
external resistors are needed to configure the voltage-feedback op amp OPA680 as a difference amplifier performing
the differential to single-ended conversion. Under the shown
configuration, the DAC904 generates a differential output
signal of 0.5Vp-p at the load resistors, RL. The resistor values
shown were selected to result in a symmetric 25Ω loading for
each of the current outputs since the input impedance of the
difference amplifier is in parallel to resistors RL, and should
be considered.

The OPA680 is configured for a gain of 2. Therefore, operating the DAC904 with a 20mA full-scale output will produce
a voltage output of ±1V. This requires the amplifier to operate
off of a dual power supply (±5V). The tolerance of the
resistors typically sets the limit for the achievable commonmode rejection. An improvement can be obtained by fine
tuning resistor R4.
This configuration typically delivers a lower level of ac performance than the previously discussed transformer solution
because the amplifier introduces another source of distortion. Suitable amplifiers should be selected based on their
slew-rate, harmonic distortion, and output swing capabilities.
High-speed amplifiers like the OPA680 or OPA687 may be
considered. The ac performance of this circuit may be
improved by adding a small capacitor, CDIFF, between the
outputs IOUT and IOUT, as shown in Figure 4. This will introduce
a real pole to create a low-pass filter in order to slew-limit the
DAC’s fast output signal steps that otherwise could drive the
amplifier into slew-limitations or into an overload condition;
both would cause excessive distortion. The difference amplifier can easily be modified to add a level shift for applications
requiring the single-ended output voltage to be unipolar, i.e.,
swing between 0V and +2V.

DUAL TRANSIMPEDANCE OUTPUT CONFIGURATION
The circuit example of Figure 5 shows the signal output
currents connected into the summing junction of the OPA2680,
which is set up as a transimpedance stage, or I-to-V converter. With this circuit, the DAC’s output will be kept at a
virtual ground, minimizing the effects of output impedance
variations, and resulting in the best DC linearity (INL). However, as mentioned previously, the amplifier may be driven
into slew-rate limitations, and produce unwanted distortion.
This may occur especially at high DAC update rates.

The full-scale output voltage is defined by the product of
IOUTFS • RF, and has a negative unipolar excursion. To
improve on the ac performance of this circuit, adjustment of
RF and/or IOUTFS should be considered. Further extensions of
this application example may include adding a differential
filter at the OPA2680’s output followed by a transformer, in
order to convert to a single-ended signal.
SINGLE-ENDED CONFIGURATION
Using a single load resistor connected to the one of the DAC
outputs, a simple current-to-voltage conversion can be accomplished. The circuit in Figure 6 shows a 50Ω resistor
connected to IOUT, providing the termination of the further
connected 50Ω cable. Therefore, with a nominal output
current of 20mA, the DAC produces a total signal swing of
0V to 0.5V into the 25Ω load.
Different load resistor values may be selected as long as the
output compliance range is not exceeded. Additionally, the
output current, IOUTFS, and the load resistor may be mutually
adjusted to provide the desired output signal swing and
performance.

The DC gain for this circuit is equal to feedback resistor RF.
At high frequencies, the DAC output impedance (CD1, CD2)
will produce a zero in the noise gain for the OPA2680 that
may cause peaking in the closed-loop frequency response.
CF is added across RF to compensate for this noise-gain
peaking. To achieve a flat transimpedance frequency response, the pole in each feedback network should be set to:

INTERNAL REFERENCE OPERATION
The DAC904 has an on-chip reference circuit that comprises
a 1.24V bandgap reference and a control amplifier. Grounding pin 16, INT/EXT, enables the internal reference operation. The full-scale output current, IOUTFS, of the DAC904 is
determined by the reference voltage, VREF, and the value of
resistor RSET. IOUTFS can be calculated by:
IOUTFS = 32 • IREF = 32 • VREF / RSET
The external resistor RSET connects to the FSA pin (FullScale Adjust), see Figure 7. The reference control amplifier
operates as a V-to-I converter producing a reference current,
IREF, which is determined by the ratio of VREF and RSET, as
shown in Equation 10. The full-scale output current, IOUTFS,
results from multiplying IREF by a fixed factor of 32.

FIGURE 7. Internal Reference Configuration.
FIGURE 8. External Reference Configuration.
Using the internal reference, a 2kΩ resistor value results in a
20mA full-scale output. Resistors with a tolerance of 1% or
better should be considered. Selecting higher values, the converter output can be adjusted from 20mA down to 2mA.
Operating the DAC904 at lower than 20mA output currents may
be desirable for reasons of reducing the total power consumption, improving the distortion performance, or observing the
output compliance voltage limitations for a given load condition.
DIGITAL INPUTS
It is recommended to bypass the REFIN pin with a ceramic chip
capacitor of 0.1µF or more. The control amplifier is internally
compensated, and its small signal bandwidth is approximately
1.3MHz. For optional ac performance, an additional capacitor
(CCOMPEXT) should be applied between the BW pin and the
analog supply, +VA, as shown in Figure 7. Using a 0.1µF
capacitor, the small-signal bandwidth and output impedance of
the control amplifier is further diminished, reducing the noise
that is fed into the current source array. This also helps shunting
feedthrough signals more effectively, and improving the noise
performance of the DAC904.
EXTERNAL REFERENCE OPERATION
The internal reference can be disabled by applying a logic
HIGH (+VA) to pin INT/EXT. An external reference voltage
can then be driven into the REFIN pin, which in this case
functions as an input, as shown in Figure 8. The use of an
external reference may be considered for applications that
require higher accuracy and drift performance, or to add the
ability of dynamic gain control.
While a 0.1µF capacitor is recommended to be used with the
internal reference, it is optional for the external reference
operation. The reference input, REFIN, has a high input
impedance (1MΩ) and can easily be driven by various
sources. Note that the voltage range of the external reference should stay within the compliance range of the reference input (0.1V to 1.25V).
14
The digital inputs, D0 (LSB) through D13 (MSB) of the
DAC904 accepts standard-positive binary coding. The digital
input word is latched into a master-slave latch with the rising
edge of the clock. The DAC output becomes updated with
the following falling clock edge (refer to the electrical characteristic table and timing diagram for details). The best performance will be achieved with a 50% clock duty cycle, however, the duty cycle may vary as long as the timing specifications are met. Additionally, the setup and hold times may
be chosen within their specified limits.
All digital inputs are CMOS compatible. The logic thresholds
depend on the applied digital supply voltage such that they
are set to approximately half the supply voltage;
V th = +VD / 2 (±20% tolerance). The DAC904 is designed to
operate over a supply range of 2.7V to 5.5V.
POWER-DOWN MODE
The DAC904 features a power-down function that can be
used to reduce the supply current to less than 9mA over the
specified supply range of 2.7V to 5.5V. Applying a logic HIGH
to the PD pin will initiate the power-down mode, while a logic
LOW enables normal operation. When left unconnected, an
internal active pull-down circuit will enable the normal operation of the converter.
GROUNDING, DECOUPLING, AND
LAYOUT INFORMATION
Proper grounding and bypassing, short lead length, and the
use of ground planes are particularly important for high
frequency designs. Multilayer pc-boards are recommended
for best performance since they offer distinct advantages
such as minimization of ground impedance, separation of
signal layers by ground layers, etc.
DAC904
www.ti.com
SBAS095C
The DAC904 uses separate pins for its analog and digital
supply and ground connections. The placement of the decoupling capacitor should be such that the analog supply (+VA)
is bypassed to the analog ground (AGND), and the digital
supply bypassed to the digital ground (DGND). In most cases
0.1µF ceramic chip capacitors at each supply pin are adequate to provide a low impedance decoupling path. Keep in
mind that their effectiveness largely depends on the proximity
to the individual supply and ground pins. Therefore, they
should be located as close as physically possible to those
device leads. Whenever possible, the capacitors should be
located immediately under each pair of supply/ground pins
on the reverse side of the pc-board. This layout approach will
minimize the parasitic inductance of component leads and
pcb runs.
Further supply decoupling with surface mount tantalum capacitors (1µF to 4.7µF) may be added as needed in proximity
of the converter.
Low noise is required for all supply and ground connections
to the DAC904. It is recommended to use a multilayer pcboard utilizing separate power and ground planes. Mixed
signal designs require particular attention to the routing of the
different supply currents and signal traces. Generally, analog
supply and ground planes should only extend into analog
signal areas, such as the DAC output signal and the reference signal. Digital supply and ground planes must be
confined to areas covering digital circuitry, including the
digital input lines connecting to the converter, as well as the
clock signal. The analog and digital ground planes should be
joined together at one point underneath the DAC. This can be
realized with a short track of approximately 1/8 inch (3mm).
The power to the DAC904 should be provided through the
use of wide pcb runs or planes. Wide runs will present a
lower trace impedance, further optimizing the supply decoupling. The analog and digital supplies for the converter
should only be connected together at the supply connector of
the pc-board. In the case of only one supply voltage being
available to power the DAC, ferrite beads along with bypass
capacitors may be used to create an LC filter. This will
generate a low-noise analog supply voltage that can then be
connected to the +VA supply pin of the DAC904.
While designing the layout, it is important to keep the analog
signal traces separate from any digital line, in order to
prevent noise coupling onto the analog signal path.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46C and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48B. Buyers should
obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and complete. All
semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale supplied at the time
of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components which meet ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. Components which
have not been so designated are neither designed nor intended for automotive use; and TI will not be responsible for any failure of such
components to meet such requirements.
