MAX555
_______________General Description
The MAX555 is an advanced, monolithic, 12-bit digitalto-analog converter (DAC) with complementary 50Ω
outputs. Fabricated using an oxide-isolated bipolar
process, the MAX555 is designed for signal-reconstruction applications at an output update rate of 300Msps.
It incorporates an analog multiplying function with
10MHz useable input bandwidth. The voltage-output
DAC uses precision laser trimming to achieve 12-bit
accuracy with ±1/2LSB integral and differential linearity
(±0.012% FS). Absolute gain error is a low 1% of full
scale. Full-scale transitions occur in less than 0.5ns.
Internal registers and a unique decoder reduce glitching and allow the MAX555 to achieve precise RF performance with over 73dBc of spurious-free dynamic range
at 50Msps with fOUT = 3.1MHz, or 62dBc at 300Msps
with fOUT = 18.6MHz.
The MAX555 operates from a single -5.2V supply and
dissipates 980mW (nominal). It comes in a 68-pin thermally enhanced PLCC package capable of accepting a
heatsink.

_______________Detailed Description
Figure 1’s functional diagram shows the MAX555’s three
major divisions: a digital section, a control-amplifier section, and a resistor-divider network. The digital section
consists of a master/slave register, decoding logic, and
current switches. The control-amplifier section includes a
control amplifier and an array of 23 current sources divided into three groups. The resistor divider scales the currents from these groups to achieve the correct binary
weighting at the output. The output of the resistor-divider
network is laser trimmed to 50Ω, a key feature for driving
into controlled impedance transmission lines.
The first group of current sources comprises the six
MSBs, D11–D6 (resulting in 15 identical, plus two binary
weighted currents), which are applied directly to the output of the resistor-divider network. The second group,
bits D5–D3 (three binary weighted currents), is applied
to the middle of the divider network. The middle of the
network divides the current seen at the output by 8. The
third group, bits D2–D0 (three additional binary weighted
current sources), is applied to the input of the resistive
network, dividing the current seen at the output by 64.
Glitching is reduced by decoding the four MSBs into 15
identical current sources and synchronizing data with a
master/slave register at every current switch. Data bits
are transferred to the output on the positive-going edge
of the clock, with the BYPASS input asserted low. In
the asynchronous mode with the BYPASS input asserted high, the latches are transparent and data is transferred to the output regardless of the clock state. All
digital inputs are ECL compatible. The clock input is
differential.
The control amplifier forces a reference current, which is
replicated in the current sources. This reference current
is nominally 1.25mA. It can be supplied by an external
current source, or by an external voltage source of
1.000V applied to the VREF input.
A reference input of VREF = 1.000V will produce a fullscale output voltage of VFS = -1.000V, where:
VFS = 4096 / 4095 x VOUT (code 0)
for the VOUT output. The output coding is summarized
in Table 1.
The DAC’s control amplifier has a typical open-loop voltage gain of 85dB, and its gain-magnitude bandwidth is
flat up to 10MHz. When the control amplifier is not being
used for high-speed multiplying applications, it is recommended that a 0.4µF capacitor be connected from LBIAS
to AVEE to increase control-amplifier stability and reduce
current-source noise.

Timing Information
The MAX555 features a differential ECL clock input with
selective transparent operation (BYPASS = 1). It is possible to drive the MAX555 clock single-ended if desired by
tying the CLK input to an external voltage of -1.3V (ECL
VBB). However, using a differential clock provides greater
noise immunity and improved dynamic performance.
In the clocked mode (BYPASS = 0), when the clock line
is low, the slave register is locked out and information
on the digital inputs is permitted to enter the master
register. The clock transition from low to high locks the
master register in its present state and ignores further
changes on the digital inputs. This transition simultaneously transfers the contents of the master register to the
slave register, causing the DAC output to change.
Figure 2’s timing diagram illustrates the importance of
operating the MAX555 in the clocked mode. In the transparent mode (BYPASS = 1), both the master and slave
registers are transparent, and changes in input data rip-
ple directly to the output. Because the four MSBs are
decoded into 15 identical currents, there is a decode
delay for these bits that is longer than for the eight LSBs.
For the full-scale transition case shown, an intermediate
output of 1/16 full-scale occurs until the four MSBs are
properly decoded. This decode delay seriously degrades
the device’s spurious performance. In addition, skew in
the timing of the input data also directly appears at the
DAC output, further degrading high-speed performance.
MAX555 operation in the clocked mode (BYPASS = 0)
with a differential clock precludes both of these potential problems and is required for high-speed operation.
Since input data can only enter the master register
when the clock is low (while the slave register is locked
out), data-bus timing skew and the internal MSB
decode delay will not appear at the DAC output. The
DAC currents are switched only when the clock transitions from low to high, after the internal data stabilizes.
Layout and Power Supplies
The MAX555 has separate pins for analog and digital
supplies. AVEE and DVEE are connected to each other
through the substrate of the IC. These potentials
should be derived from the same supply to minimize
voltage mismatch, which would cause substrate current
flow and possible latchup. Appropriate decoupling is
needed to prevent digital-section current spikes from
affecting the analog section (Figure 4).
It is recommended that a multilayer PC board be used,
containing a solid ground and power planes. All analog

and digital ground pins must be connected directly to
the analog ground plane at the MAX555, preferably with
a “star connection” at the LGND pins (15 and 16).
High-speed ECL inputs, as well as the output from the
MAX555, should employ good transmission-line techniques, with terminations close to the device pins.
Separate power-supply buses for analog and digital
power supplies are recommended as good general
practice. Best results will be achieved by bypassing
the device pins with high-quality ceramic chip capacitors connected physically close to the pins.
__________Applications Information
Reference Input
The MAX555 uses an internal op-amp circuit to buffer the
reference current. The input to the op amp may be driven with a 1.25mA external current source or a 1V external
voltage reference. The reference input is the VREF pin.
The input impedance to the op amp is 800Ω. As shown
in Figure 1, VREF/2 is brought out externally with 400Ω of
impedance to the op amp. These reference inputs can
be used to vary the full-scale output for high-speed multiplying applications. ROFFSET must be connected to analog ground. In addition, a 0.1µF capacitor should be
connected from VREF/2 to analog ground to reduce reference current noise.
Outputs
The analog outputs are laser trimmed to 50Ω. They can
be used either as a voltage drive with 50Ω impedance, or
to drive into a virtual null using a transimpedance amplifier. Greater speed is achieved driving into 50Ω loads.
The differential outputs of the MAX555 may be used to
drive a balun for conversion to a single-ended output,
while at the same time greatly reducing the second-harmonic content of the output.
Dynamic Performance
The Typical Operating Characteristics graphs show the
MAX555’s performance when used in direct digital synthesis (DDS) applications for generating RF sine waves. The
first six graphs show the MAX555’s spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) for clock frequencies of 50MHz to
300MHz at various output frequencies. The seventh
graph shows the SFDR for clock frequencies from
50MHz to 350MHz while producing an output frequency of about 1/16 the clock frequency.
The last two graphs show the MAX555’s third and second harmonic distortion while producing an output frequency of about 1/5 fCLK for clock frequencies from
100MHz to 300MHz as a function of the reference voltage. The third harmonic content of the output can be
reduced at clock frequencies below about 200MHz by
8
reducing the reference voltage from its 1.000V nominal
value. At clock frequencies above about 200MHz, the
output’s third harmonic content is dominated by coupling from the high-speed digital inputs to the output.
Reducing the reference voltage at these high clock
rates actually increases the third harmonic distortion in
the output, since the carrier amplitude drops but the
third harmonic level remains relatively constant.
The second harmonic distortion of the outputs is shown
as a function of clock frequency and reference voltage.
It is relatively constant for clock frequencies below
about 200MHz at different VREF values. As with the
third harmonic distortion, however, the second harmonic distortion also increases at clock frequencies over
200MHz for lower VREF values. Minimize these effects
by bypassing the MAX555 heatspreader (pins 26 and
44) to V EE with a good-quality RF chip capacitor.
Reducing the swing of the input logic levels and/or
decreasing the rise time of the digital signals can also
improve the output’s harmonic content. Combining
these techniques achieves the best results. Some
experimentation may be required to optimize the
MAX555’s performance for a particular application.
Figure 3 shows the spectrum analyzer plots of the
MAX555 when used in DDS applications. These plots
show the MAX555’s output spectrum at clock frequencies from 50MHz to 300MHz while producing various
output frequencies. Observing the output spectrum
while adjusting the reference voltage or varying the
logic levels is a sensitive method of optimizing MAX555
performance. The plots shown were obtained with a
+0.75V reference voltage with 500mV ECL logic
swings.
Typical Application
Figure 4 shows a typical connection. With VOUT used
to drive a 50Ω line, the unused complementary output,
VOUT, should also be terminated to 50Ω. A 1V reference voltage at VREF gives a -0.5V full-scale voltage at
VOUT (when doubly terminated with 50Ω on the output). Because some loads may represent a complex
impedance, be sure to match the output impedance
with the load. Mismatching the impedances can cause
reflections that will affect AC-performance parameters.
In all applications, the LOOPCRNT pin is always connected to AGND, and compensation capacitors are
connected to pins ALTCOMPC, ALTCOMPIB, and
LBIAS. The LBIAS compensation is recommended for
non-multiplying applications. AC grounding the heat
spreader on the package (with pins 26 and 44)
reduces digital noise feedthrough and improves the
MAX555’s spurious performance at high data rates.
