27
DVDD
Digital Supply (+3V to +5V).
28
CLK
Digital Data Bit 13, (Most Significant Bit) through Digital Data Bit 0, (Least Significant Bit).
Clock Input. Input data to the DAC passes through the “master” latches when the clock is low and is
latched into the “master” latches when the clock is high. Data presented to the “slave” latch passes
through when the clock is logic high and is latched into the “slave” latches when the clock is logic low.
Adequate setup time must be allowed for the MSBs to pass through the thermometer decoder before the
clock goes high. This master-slave arrangement comprises an edge-triggered flip-flop, with the DAC
being updated on the rising clock edge. It is recommended that the clock edge be skewed such that setup
time is larger than the hold time.

NOTES:
2. 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 transformer coupled output and no external filtering.
5. Measured with the clock at 50MSPS and the output frequency at 10MHz.
6. Measured with the clock at 100MSPS and the output frequency at 40MHz.
7. Measured with the clock at 130MSPS and the output frequency at 10MHz.
8. See “Definition of Specifications”.
9. It is recommended that the output current be reduced to 12mA or less to maintain optimum performance for operation below 3V. DVDD and AVDD
do not have to be equal.

Definition of Specifications
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.
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 oC.
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).
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 oC.
Offset Drift, is measured by setting the data inputs to all
logic low (all 0s) 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 degree oC.
Offset Error, is measured by setting the data inputs to all
logic low (all 0s) 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.
Output Settling Time, is the time required for the output
voltage to settle to within a specified error band measured
from the beginning of the output transition. The
measurement is done by switching quarter scale.
Termination impedance was 25Ω due to the parallel
resistance of the 50Ω loading on the output and the
oscilloscope’s 50Ω input. This also aids the ability to resolve
the specified error band without overdriving the oscilloscope.
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 supply’s 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
8
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.
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 using
a single code transition across a major current source.
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.
Detailed Description
The HI5960 is a 14-bit, current out, CMOS, digital to analog
converter. Its maximum update rate is 130MSPS and can be
powered by either single or dual power supplies in the
recommended range of +3V to +5V. Operation with clock
rates higher than 130MSPS is possible; please contact the
factory for more information. It consumes less than 180mW
of power when using a +5V supply with the data switching at
130MSPS. 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 certain “major” transitions,
the overall glitch of the converter is dramatically reduced,
improving settling time, transient problems, and accuracy.
Digital Inputs and Termination
The HI5960 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 and the digital
inputs are long 50Ω lines, then 50Ω 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.
Ground Planes
Separate digital and analog ground planes should be used.
All of the digital functions of the device and their
HI5960
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. Consult Application Note 9853.
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, 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 +1.2V with a ±60ppm/ oC drift coefficient over the
full 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
(16) selects the reference. The internal reference can be
selected if pin 16 is tied low (ground). If an external
reference is desired, then pin 16 should be tied high (the
analog supply voltage) and the external reference driven into
REFIO, pin 17. 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,
though operation below 2mA is possible, with performance
degradation.
If the internal reference is used, VFSADJ will equal
approximately 1.2V (pin 18). 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.
If the full scale output current is set to 20mA by using the
internal voltage reference (1.2V) and a 1.91kΩ RSET
resistor, then the input coding to output current will resemble
the following:

Outputs
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 -0.3V to 1.25V. RLOAD (the impedance
9
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 RLOAD .
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 21
and 22 will be biased at zero volts. 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.

VOUT = 2 x IOUT x REQ, where REQ is ~12.5Ω. Allowing the
center tap to float will result in identical transformer output,
however the output pins of the DAC will have positive DC
offset. Since the DAC’s output voltage compliance range is 0.3V to +1.25V, the center tap may need to be left floating or
DC offset in order to increase the amount of signal swing
available. The 50Ω load on the output of the transformer
represents the spectrum analyzer’s input impedance.
