Crosstalk, is the measure of the channel isolation from one DAC to the other. It is measured by generating a sinewave in one DAC while the other DAC is clocked with a static input, and comparing the output power of each DAC at the frequency generated. Differential Linearity Error, DNL, is the measure of the step size output deviation from code to code. Ideally the step size should be one LSB. A DNL specification of one 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). Gain Matching, is a measure of the full scale amplitude match between the I and Q channels given the same input pattern. It is typically measured with all 1s at the input to both channels, and the full scale output voltage developed into matching loads is compared for the I and Q outputs. 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 degree °C. Offset Error, is measured by setting the data inputs to all logic low (all 0s) and measuring the output voltage of IOUTA through FN6020 Rev 1.00 Feb 2002 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. 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 ISL5829 is a dual 12-bit, current out, CMOS, digital to analog converter. The core of each DAC is based on the ISL5861. The maximum update rate is at least 210+MSPS 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 210MSPS is possible; please contact the factory for more information. It consumes less than 125mW of power per channel when using a +3.3V supply, the maximum 20mA of output current, and the data switching at 210MSPS. 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 might have 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 ISL5829 digital inputs are formatted as offset binary and guaranteed to 3V LVCMOS levels. The internal register is updated on the rising edge of the clock. To minimize reflections, proper termination should be implemented. If the Page 10 of 13 ISL5829 lines driving the clock and the digital inputs are long 50 lines, then 50 termination resistors should be placed as close to the converter inputs as possible connected to the digital ground plane (if separate grounds are used). These termination resistors are not likely needed as long as the digital waveform source is within a few inches of the DAC. For pattern drivers with very high speed edge rates, it is recommended that the user consider series termination (50-200prior 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 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 table of specifications 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, 0.1F 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. Voltage Reference 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 0.1F capacitor be placed as close as possible to the REFIO pin, connected to the analog ground. The REFLO pin selects the reference. The internal reference can be selected if REFLO is tied low (ground). If an external reference is desired, then REFLO should be tied high (the analog supply voltage) and the external reference driven into REFIO. 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 22mA range, though operation below 2mA is possible, with performance degradation. If the internal reference is used, VFSADJ will equal approximately 1.2V. If an external reference is used, VFSADJ will equal the external reference. The calculation for IOUT (Full Scale) is: IOUT(Full Scale) = (VFSADJ/RSET) X 32. FN6020 Rev 1.00 Feb 2002 If the full scale output current is set to 20mA by using the internal voltage reference (1.23V) and a 1.91k RSET resistor, then the input coding to output current will resemble the following: TABLE 1. INPUT CODING vs OUTPUT CURRENT WITH INTERNAL REFERENCE (1.23V TYP) AND RSET=1.91K INPUT CODE (D11-D0) IOUTA (mA) IOUTB (mA) 1111 1111 1111 20.6 0 1000 0000 0000 10.3 10.3 0000 0000 0000 0 20.6 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 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: VOUT = IOUT X ROUT. 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. Differential Output IOUTA and IOUTB can be used in a differential-to-singleended arrangement to achieve better harmonic rejection. With RDIFF= 50and RLOAD=50, the circuit in Figure 13 will provide a 500mV (-2.5dBm) 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). Values of RDIFF= 100and RLOAD=50 were used for the typical performance curves to increase the output power and the dynamic range. The center tap in Figure 13 must be grounded. In the circuit in Figure 14, 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 (RA//RB) V because RDIFF is DC shorted by the transformer. If the center tap is grounded, the DC voltage is 0V. Recommended values for the circuit in Figure 14 are RA=RB=50, RDIFF=100, assuming RLOAD=50. The performance of Figure 13 and Figure 14 is basically the same, however leaving the center tap of Figure 14 floating allows the circuit to find a more balanced virtual ground, theoretically improving the even order harmonic rejection, but likely Page 11 of 13 ISL5829 reducing the signal swing available due to the output voltage compliance range limitations. REQ = 0.5 x (RLOAD // RDIFF// RA), WHERE RA=RB AT EACH OUTPUT RA REQ = 0.5 x (RLOAD // RDIFF) AT EACH OUTPUT OUTA ISL5829 RDIFF ISL5829 RDIFF VOUT = (2 x OUTA x REQ)V 1:1 OUTA VOUT = (2 x OUTA x REQ)V OUTB RLOAD RB RLOAD OUTB RLOAD REPRESENTS THE LOAD SEEN BY THE TRANSFORMER FIGURE 14. ALTERNATIVE OUTPUT LOADING RLOAD REPRESENTS THE LOAD SEEN BY THE TRANSFORMER Propagation Delay 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 processing. See Figure 15. FIGURE 13.
