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. 3. Parameter guaranteed by design or characterization and not production tested. 4. Spectral measurements made with differential coupled transformer and 100% amplitude. 5. Measured with the clock at 50MSPS and the output frequency at 1MHz, both channels. 6. Measured with the clock at 100MSPS and the output frequency at 40MHz, both channels. 7. See ‘Definition of Specifications’. 8. For operation below 3V, it is recommended that the output current be reduced to 12mA or less to maintain optimum performance. DVDD and AVDD do not have to be equal. 9. For operation above 125MHz, it is recommended that the power supply be 3.3V or greater. The part is functional with the clock above 125MSPS and the power supply below 3.3V, but performance is degraded. 10. Measured with the clock at 60MSPS and the output frequency at 10MHz, both channels. 7 HI5728 Typical Performance Curves, 5 Volt Power Supply 80 76 74 75 -6dBFS 72 -6dBFS SFDR (dBc) SFDR (dBc) 70 0dBFS 65 60 70 -12dBFS 68 66 64 55 -12dBFS 0dBFS 62 60 50 0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1 1.2 1.4 1.6 1.8 1 2 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 40 45 OUTPUT FREQUENCY (MHz) OUTPUT FREQUENCY (MHz) FIGURE 1.

PROPAGATION DELAY, SETUP TIME, HOLD TIME AND MINIMUM PULSE WIDTH DIAGRAM Definition of Specifications 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. 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. Output Settling Time, is the time required for the output voltage to settle to within a specified error band measured 15 from the beginning of the output transition. The measurement was done by switching from code 0 to 256, or quarter scale. Termination impedance was 25Ω due to the parallel resistance of the output 50Ω and the oscilloscope’s 50Ω input. This also aids the ability to resolve the specified error band without overdriving the oscilloscope. Singlet Glitch Area, is the switching transient appearing on the output during a code transition. It is measured as the area under the overshoot portion of the curve and is expressed as a Volt-Time specification. This is tested under the same conditions as ‘Output Settling Time.’ HI5728 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). Full Scale Gain Drift, is measured by setting the data inputs to all ones 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 oC. Total Harmonic Distortion, THD, is the ratio of the DAC output fundamental to the RMS sum of the first five harmonics. Spurious Free Dynamic Range, SFDR, is the amplitude difference from the fundamental to the largest harmonically or non-harmonically related spur within the specified window. Output Voltage Compliance Range, is the voltage limit imposed on the output. The output impedance load should be chosen such that the voltage developed does not violate the compliance range. Offset Error, is measured by setting the data inputs to all zeros and measuring the output voltage through a known resistance. Offset error is defined as the maximum deviation of the output current from a value of 0mA. Offset Drift, is measured by setting the data inputs to all zeros 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 oC. Power Supply Rejection, is measured using a single power supply. Its nominal +5V 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 of its original value. 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 oC. Detailed Description The HI5728 is a dual, 10-bit, current out, CMOS, digital to analog converter. Its maximum update rate is 125MSPS and can be powered by either single or dual power supplies in the recommended range of +3V to +5V. It consumes less than 330mW of power when using a +5V supply with the data switching at 100MSPS. The architecture is based on a segmented current source arrangement that reduces glitch by reducing the amount of current switching at any one time. The five MSBs are represented by 31 major current sources 16 of equivalent current. The five LSBs are comprised of binary weighted current sources. Consider an input waveform to the converter which is ramped through all the codes from 0 to 1023. The five LSB current sources would begin to count up. When they reached the all high state (decimal value of 31) and needed to count to the next code, they would all turn off and the first major current source would turn on. To continue counting upward, the 5 LSBs would count up another 31 codes, and then the next major current source would turn on and the five LSBs would all turn off. The process of the single, equivalent, major current source turning on and the five LSBs turning off each time the converter reaches another 31 codes greatly reduces the glitch at any one switching point. 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, worstcase transition points such as mid-scale and quarter scale transitions. By greatly reducing the amount of current switching at certain ‘major’ transitions, the overall glitch of the converter is dramatically reduced, improving settling times and transient problems. Digital Inputs And Termination The HI5728 digital inputs are guaranteed to CMOS levels. However, TTL compatibility can be achieved by lowering the supply voltage to 3V due to the digital threshold of the input buffer being approximately half of the supply voltage. The internal register is updated on the rising edge of the clock. To minimize reflections, proper termination should be implemented. If the lines driving the clock(s) and digital inputs are 50Ω lines, then 50Ω termination resistors should be placed as close to the converter inputs as possible. Ground Plane(s) If separate digital and analog ground planes are used, then all of the digital functions of the device and their corresponding components should be 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. Refer to the Application Note on the HI5728 Evaluation Board for further discussion of the ground plane(s) upon availability. 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, should the layout be designed using separate digital and analog ground planes, 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. See the Application Note on the HI5728 Evaluation Board for more information upon availability. Voltage Reference The internal voltage reference of the device has a nominal value of +1.2V with a ±60 ppm/ oC drift coefficient over the full HI5728 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 (15) selects the reference. The internal reference can be selected if pin 15 is tied low (ground). If an external reference is desired, then pin 15 should be tied high (to the analog supply voltage) and the external reference driven into REFIO, pin 23. 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, through operation below 2mA is possible, with performance degradation. If the internal reference is used, VFSADJ will equal approximately 1.16V (pin 22). If an external reference is used, VFSADJ will equal the external reference. The calculation for IOUT(Full Scale) is: These outputs can be used in a differential-to-single-ended arrangement to achieve better harmonic rejection. The SFDR measurements in this data sheet were performed with a 1:1 transformer on the output of the DAC (see Figure 1). With the center tap grounded, the output swing of pins 16 and 17 will be biased at zero volts. It is important to note here that the negative voltage output compliance range limit is -300mV, imposing a maximum of 600mVP-P amplitude with this configuration. The loading as shown in Figure 1 will result in a 500mV signal at the output of the transformer if the full scale output current of the DAC is set to 20mA. 50Ω PIN 17 (20) 100Ω PIN 16 (21) IOUT (Full Scale) = (VFSADJ/RSET)x 32. V OUT = (2 x I OUT x R EQ)V IOUTB (QOUTB) 50Ω IOUTA (QOUTA) 50Ω If the full scale output current is set to 20mA by using the internal voltage reference (1.16V) and a 1.86kΩ RSET resistor, then the input coding to output current will resemble the following: FIGURE 42. VOUT = 2 x IOUT x REQ ,where REQ is ~12.5Ω. TABLE 1. INPUT CODING vs OUTPUT CURRENT (Per DAC) INPUT CODE (D9-D0) IOUTA (mA) IOUTB (mA) 11111 11111 20 0 10000 00000 10 10 00000 00000 0 20 Allowing the center tap to float will result in identical transformer output, however the output pins of the DAC will have positive DC offset. The 50Ω load on the output of the transformer represents the spectrum analyzer’s input impedance. Outputs IOUTA and IOUTB (or QOUTA and QOUTB) 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 -0.3V to 1.25V. RLOAD should be chosen so that the desired output voltage is produced in conjunction with the output full scale current, which is described above in the ‘Reference’ section. 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 RLOAD.
