Features
The HI5741 is a 14-bit, 100MSPS, D/A converter which is
implemented in the Intersil BiCMOS 10V (HBC-10) process.
Operating from +5V and -5.2V, the converter provides
20.48mA of full scale output current and includes an input
data register and bandgap voltage reference. Low glitch
energy and excellent frequency domain performance are
achieved using a segmented architecture. The digital inputs
are TTL/CMOS compatible and translated internally to ECL.
All internal logic is implemented in ECL to achieve high
switching speed with low noise. The addition of laser
trimming assures 14-bit linearity is maintained along the
entire transfer curve.

NOTES:
2. Dissipation rating assumes device is mounted with all leads soldered to printed circuit board.
3. Gain Error measured as the error in the ratio between the full scale output current and the current through RSET (typically 1.28mA). Ideally the
ratio should be 16.
4. Parameter guaranteed by design or characterization and not production tested.
5. All devices are 100% tested at +25°C.
6. Dynamic Range must be limited to a 1V swing within the compliance range.
7. In testing MTPR, tone frequencies ranged from 1.95MHz to 3.05MHz. The ratio is measured as the range from peak power to peak distortion in
the region of removed tones.

HI5741
Detailed Description
The HI5741 is a 14-bit, current out D/A converter. The DAC
can convert at 100 MSPS and runs on +5V and -5.2V
supplies. The architecture is an R/2R and segmented
switching current cell arrangement to reduce glitch. Laser
trimming is employed to tune linearity to true 14-bit levels.
The HI5741 achieves its low power and high speed
performance from an advanced BiCMOS process. The
HI5741 consumes 650mW (typical) and has an improved
hold time of only 0.25ns (typical). The HI5741 is an excellent
converter for use in communications applications and high
performance video systems.
Digital Inputs
The HI5741 is a TTL/CMOS compatible D/A. Data is latched
by a Master register. Once latched, data inputs D0 (LSB)
through D13 (MSB) are internally translated from TTL to ECL.
The internal latch and switching current source controls are
implemented in ECL technology to maintain high switching
speeds and low noise characteristics.
Decoder/Driver
The architecture employs a split R/2R ladder and segmented
current source arrangement. Bits D0 (LSB) through D9 directly
drive a typical R/2R network to create the binary weighted
current sources. Bits D10 through D13 (MSB) pass through a
“thermometer” decoder that converts the incoming data into 15
individual segmented current source enables. This split
architecture helps to improve glitch, thus resulting in a
more constant glitch characteristic across the entire output
transfer function.
Clocks and Termination
The internal 14-bit register is updated on the rising edge of the
clock. Since the HI5741 clock rate can run to 100 MSPS, to
minimize reflections and clock noise into the part, proper
termination should be used. In PCB layout clock runs should
be kept short and have a minimum of loads. To guarantee
consistent results from board to board, controlled impedance
PCBs should be used with a characteristic line impedance ZO
of 50.
To terminate the clock line, a shunt terminator to ground is
the most effective type at a 100 MSPS clock rate. A typical
value for termination can be determined by the equation:
RT = ZO
for the termination resistor. For a controlled impedance board
with a ZO of 50, the RT = 50. Shunt termination is best
used at the receiving end of the transmission line or as close
to the HI5741 CLK pin as possible.

Rise and Fall times and propagation delay of the line will be
affected by the shunt terminator. The terminator should be
connected to DGND.
Noise Reduction
To reduce power supply noise, separate analog and digital
power supplies should be used with 0.1F and 0.01F
ceramic capacitors placed as close to the body of the
HI5741 as possible on the analog (AVEE) and digital (DVEE)
supplies. The analog and digital ground returns should be
connected together back at the device to ensure proper
operation on power up. The VCC power pin should also be
decoupled with a 0.1F capacitor.
Reduction of digital noise (caused by high slew rates on the bit
inputs to the HI5741) can be accomplished through the use of
series termination resistors. The use of serial resistors, which
combine with the input capacitance of the HI5741 to induce a
low pass filter characteristic, keeps the noise generated by high
slew rate digital signals from corrupting the high accuracy
analog data. Refer to Application Note AN9619 “Optimizing
setup conditions for high accuracy measurements of the
HI5741” for further details on selecting the proper value of
series termination to meet application specific needs.
Reference
The internal reference of the HI5741 is a -1.23V (typical)
bandgap voltage reference with 50V/°C of temperature drift
(typical). The internal reference is connected to the Control
Amplifier which in turn drives the segmented current cells.
Reference Out (REF OUT) is internally connected to the
Control Amplifier. The Control Amplifier Output (CTRL OUT)
should be used to drive the Control Amplifier Input (CTRL IN)
and a 0.1F capacitor to analog VEE . This improves settling
time by providing an AC ground at the current source base
node. The Full Scale Output Current is controlled by the REF
OUT pin and the set resistor (RSET). The ratio is:
IOUT (Full Scale) = (VREF OUT /RSET) x 16.
The internal reference (REF OUT) can be overdriven with a
more precise external reference to provide better
performance over temperature. Figure 21 illustrates a typical
external reference configuration.

The HI5741 can operate in two different multiplying

The signal must have a DC value such that the peak

be placed in series with REF OUT if a DC multiplying is not
required. The lower input bandwidth can be calculated using
the following formula:

Outputs
The outputs IOUT and IOUT are complementary current
outputs. Current is steered to either IOUT or IOUT in proportion
to the digital input code. The sum of the two currents is always
equal to the full scale current minus one LSB. The current
output can be converted to a voltage by using a load resistor.
Both current outputs should have the same load resistor (64
typically). By using a 64 load on the output, a 50 effective
output resistance (ROUT) is achieved due to the 227 (15%)
parallel resistance seen looking back into the output. This is the
nominal value of the R2R ladder of the DAC. The 50 output is
needed for matching the output with a 50 line. The load
resistor should be chosen so that the effective output resistance
(ROUT) matches the line resistance. The output voltage is:
VOUT = IOUT x ROUT.
IOUT is defined in the reference section. IOUT is not trimmed to
14 bits, so it is not recommended that it be used in conjunction
with IOUT in a differential-to-single-ended application. The
compliance range of the output is from -1.25V to 0V, with a
1VP-P voltage swing allowed within this range.

Settling Time

The settling time of the HI5741 is measured as the time it
takes for the output of the DAC to settle to within a ±defined
error band of its final value during a 1/16th (code 0000... to
0001 0000.... or 1111... to 1110 1111...) scale transition. In
defining settling time specifications for the HI5741, two levels
of accuracy are considered. The accuracy levels defined for
the HI5741 are 12 (or 0.024%) and 13 (0.012%) bits.
In order to prevent the full scale output current from
exceeding 20.48mA, the RSET resistor must be adjusted
according to the following equation:

The circuit in Figure 23 can be tuned to adjust the lower
cutoff frequency by adjusting capacitor values. Table 1

Glitch
The output glitch of the HI5741 is measured by summing the
area under the switching transients after an update of the
DAC. Glitch is caused by the time skew between bits of the
incoming digital data. Typically, the switching time of digital
inputs are asymmetrical meaning that the turn off time is
faster than the turn on time (TTL designs). Unequal delay
paths through the device can also cause one current source
FN4071.12
September 20, 2006
HI5741
to change before another. In order to minimize this, the
Intersil HI5741 employs an internal register, just prior to the
current sources, which is updated on the clock edge. Lastly,
the worst case glitch on traditional D/A converters usually
occurs at the major transition (i.e., code 8191 to 8192).
However, due to the split architecture of the HI5741, the
glitch is moved to the 1023 to 1024 transition (and every
subsequent 1024 code transitions thereafter). This split R/2R
segmented current source architecture, which decreases the
amount of current switching at any one time, makes the
glitch practically constant over the entire output range. By
making the glitch a constant size over the entire output
range this effectively integrates this error out of the end
application.
In measuring the output glitch of the HI5741 the output is
terminated into a 64 load. The glitch is measured at any
one of the current cell carry (code 1023 to 1024 transition or
any multiple thereof) throughout the DACs output range.
The glitch energy is calculated by measuring the area under
the voltage-time curve. Figure 25 shows the area considered
as glitch when changing the DAC output. Units are typically
specified in picoVolt/seconds (pV/s).

(NCO). The HSP45106 can be used to generate various
modulation schemes for Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS)

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 error
in step size between adjacent codes along the converter’s
transfer curve. Ideally, the step size is 1 LSB from one code to
the next, and the deviation from 1 LSB is known as DNL. A
DNL specification of greater than -1 LSB guarantees
monotonicity.
Feedthru is the measure of the undesirable switching noise
coupled to the output.
Output Voltage Full Scale Settling Time is the time
required from the 50% point on the clock input for a full scale
step to settle within an 1/2 LSB error band.

Applications
Bipolar Applications
To convert the output of the HI5741 to a bipolar 4V swing,
the following applications circuit is recommended. The
reference can only provide 125A of drive, so it must be
buffered to create the bipolar offset current needed to
generate the -2V output with all bits ‘off’. The output current
must be converted to a voltage and then gained up and
offset to produce the proper swing. Care must be taken to
compensate for the voltage swing and error.
11
Output Voltage Small Scale Settling Time is the time
required from the 50% point on the clock input for a 100mV
step to settle within an 1/2 LSB error band. This is used by
applications reconstructing highly correlated signals such as
sine waves with more than 5 points per cycle.
Glitch Area (GE) is the switching transient appearing on the
output during a code transition. It is measured as the area
under the curve and expressed as a volt • time specification
(typically pV-s).
Differential Gain (AV) is the gain error from an ideal sine
wave with a normalized amplitude.
Differential Phase () is the phase error from an ideal sine
wave.

Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) is the ratio of a fundamental to
the noise floor of the analog output. The first 5 harmonics
are ignored, and an output filter of 1/2 the clock frequency is
used to eliminate alias products.
Multi-Tone Power Ratio (MTPR) is the amplitude difference
from peak amplitude to peak distortion (either harmonic or
non-harmonic). An 8 tone pattern is loaded into the D/A. The
tone spacing of this pattern (f) is created such that tones 1
through 4 and 5 through 8 are spaced equally, with tones 4
and 5 spaced at 2f. MTPR is measured as the dynamic
range from peak power to peak distortion in the 2f gap.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is the ratio of the DAC
output fundamental to the RMS sum of the harmonics. The
first 5 harmonics are included, and an output filter of 1/2 the
clock frequency is used to eliminate alias products.
Intermodulation Distortion (IMD) is the measure of the
sum and difference products produced when a two tone
input is driven into the D/A. The distortion products created
will arise at sum and difference frequencies of the two tones.
IMD can be calculated using the following equation:
Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) is the amplitude
difference from a fundamental to the largest harmonically or
non-harmonically related spur. A sine wave is loaded into the
D/A and the output filtered at 1/2 the clock frequency to
eliminate noise from clocking alias terms.
