Description
Features
The HI5628EVAL1 evaluation board provides a quick and
easy method for evaluating the HI5628IN, 125MSPS Dual 8Bit, DAC member. Each converter outputs a current into a
load resistor to form a voltage which can be measured by
using the included SMA connectors. The amount of current
out of the DAC is determined by an external resistor and
either an internal or external reference voltage. The
evaluation board also includes a VME digital interface that is
compatible with the HSP-EVAL board, so DDS (Direct Digital
Synthesis) can be performed with minimal setup time. A
transformer is included to take advantage of differential
signal drive.

Functional Description
Overview
The evaluation board is configured to be interfaced using a
VME connector. The data input lines are tied together using
small, zero ohm resistors on the back side of the board (QD0
is tied to ID0, continued with QD7 connected to ID7; see the
schematic, R54, 58-60, 62, 64-66). This is done so that the
data can be driven into both of the channels without having
to generate two patterns. This aids in simplifying the
evaluation of the part. If the user has the ability to generate
dual patterns during the evaluation process, these resistors
must be removed. Both series and parallel termination
resistor footprints are provided, so that the user may
customize the termination method. An internal voltage
reference is available, as well as a variable resistor for
customizing the output current. RF transformers are
populated for taking advantage of the complimentary current
outputs. They can be disabled from the circuit by removing
several zero ohm resistors if a simple load resistor output is
desired.
Voltage Reference
The HI5628 has an internal voltage reference (1.16V typical)
with a ±60ppm/oC drift coefficient over the full temperature
range of the converter. The REFLO pin (15) selects the
reference. Access to pin 15 is provided through the center
pin of Jumper J2. To enable the internal reference, it is
necessary that the jumper be placed such that pin 15 is
grounded (J2 is labeled on the board as INT and EXT, for
internal and external). The REFIO pin (23) provides access
to the internal voltage reference, or can be overdriven if the
user wishes to use an external source for the reference.
Notice that a 0.1µF capacitor is placed as close as possible
to the REFIO pin. This capacitor is necessary for ensuring a
quiet reference voltage.
If the user wishes to use an external reference voltage,
jumper J3 must be in place and an external voltage
reference provided via SMA7, labeled ‘EXT REF’. Jumper J2
must be changed so that pin 16 is tied high (the supply
voltage, which is the EXT position of J2) when using an
external reference. The recommended limits of the external
reference are between 15mV and 1.2V, which provides over
36dB of multiplying capability. Performance of the converter
can be expected to decline as the reference voltage is
reduced due to the reduction in LSB current size.
If the user wishes to amplitude modulate the reference, the
REFIO pin can be overdriven with a waveform. The input
multiplying bandwidth of the REFIO input is approximately
1.4MHz. It is necessary that the multiplying signal be DC
offset so that the minimum and maximum peaks of the signal
are above 0V and less than 1.2V. The output current of each
converter is a function of the voltage reference used and the
value of RSET (R68 or R35 on the schematic). R68 is a
potentiometer that can be used to vary the RSET if the user
2
wishes to explore various output current levels. The board is
shipped with R68 set to ~2kΩ. The converter’s performance
sometimes improves with reduced output current. R35 is
provided if the user wishes to set the output current using a
set value. See the ‘Outputs’ section for more information on
setting the output current.
The footprints for SMA10 and SMA11 were provided on the
evaluation board so that separate multiplying signals could
be attached, along with alternate op amps, to overdrive the
internal reference op amps via ICOMP1 and QCOMP1 to
increase the multiplying bandwidth of the references for
DACs I and Q independently. SMA11 was placed next to
prototyping area so that an external op amp could be placed
between E11 and E7, which provides access to QCOMP1
via a zero ohm resistor, R69. It was intended that this
capability also exist between E10 and E6 for access to
ICOMP1 so that it could be driven independently if desired,
but E6 was mistakenly grounded. So the ability to overdrive
ICOMP1 and QCOMP1 exists on this board, but it must be
done with a single op amp and signal simultaneously via
SMA11, E7, and E11. ICOMP1 cannot be driven
independently using SMA10, E6, and E10. R56 should never
be populated. See the functional block diagram of the
HI5628 in the data sheet and the evaluation board schematic
located in this document for more information.
Outputs
The output current of the device is set by choosing RSET and
VFSADJ such that the resultant of the following equation is
less than 20mA:
IOUT = 32 x VFSADJ / RSET.
For example, using the internal VFSADJ of 1.16V nominal
and an RSET (R35 on the schematic) value of 1.86kΩ results
in an IOUT of approximately 20mA (maximum allowed).
Choose the output loading so that the ‘Output Voltage
Compliance Range’ is not violated (-0.3 to 1.25V). If an
external VREF is chosen, it should not exceed +1.2V.
The output can be configured to drive a load resistor, a
transformer, an operational amplifier, or any other type of
output configuration so long as the output voltage
compliance range and the maximum output current is not
violated.
Load Resistor Output
If the user wishes to use only a load resistor and no
transformer, they should remove the zero ohm resistors that
connect the outputs to the transformers. These resistors are
R51, R57, R70, and R72. See the schematic for details. The
output voltage developed is simply a function of the output
current multiplied by the output load. Care should be taken to
ensure that this voltage does not violate the output
compliance range of -300mV to 1.25V.
Application Note 9840
Differential Output
Clock Inputs
The board is also configured with the following transformer
output which will result in an output voltage amplitude that is
twice that of IOUT x Req, where Req is the equivalent
resistive loading seen by the current outputs (~12.5Ω =
(50//50//25). The transformer used in this circuit is a MiniCircuits 1:1 RF Transformer, T1-1T. The impedance looking
back into the transformer from the 50Ω spectrum analyzer is
50Ω (100Ω/2), so proper termination is achieved and
reflections are minimized. The transformer benefits the user
by reducing the even-order harmonics and therefore
increasing the SFDR (Spurious Free Dynamic Range). It can
be taken out of the output by removing the zero ohm
jumpers, R51, 57, 70, and 72. With the transformers
removed, SMAs 1-4 should be used to measure the output
voltages across the included 50Ω loads.
The elaborate nature of the clock input circuit (see the
schematic) achieves versatility. It provides the means to drive
both channels from a single clock via the VME connector, or to
drive each with separate clocks via SMAs 8 and 9. Notice that
the 0Ω resistors (R28, 29, 50 and 53) are used as jumpers to
enable the different clock sources without degrading signal
integrity, or they can be replaced by nominal value resistors if
series input termination(s) are desired on the clock(s).

Sleep
The converter can be put into ‘sleep’ mode by connecting pin
8 to either of the converter’s supply voltages. For normal
operation, it is recommended that pin 8 be tied to ground.
However, the sleep pin does have an active pulldown
current, so the pin can be left disconnected. On the
evaluation board, jumper J1 is provided for controlling the
sleep pin. Remove the jumper from J1 for normal operation
and replace it for sleep mode.
Power Supply(ies) and Ground(s)
The user can operate from either a single supply or dual
supplies. The DAC is designed to function with the digital
and analog voltages at the same value or at different values.
The DAC can be driven with a 3 or 3.3V digital supply and a
5V analog supply. In compliance with the absolute maximum
ratings for the DAC listed in the datasheet, the digital input
voltages should not be more than DVDD + 0.3V. A single
power supply wire can be attached to either DVDD1 or
AVDD1, and then the DVDD1 and AVDD1 holes jumpered
together on the board using regular wire if a single supply is
desired. The board uses dual ground planes connected at a
single point near the converter (this is the recommended
configuration). For dual supply mode, connect a power
supply wire to both AVDD1 and DVDD1 and ground wires to
DGND1 and AGND1 independently.

Input Termination
For clock rates below 50MSPS, the method of input
termination on the data and clock lines could be open, 50Ω,
or nominal series, depending on the current drive available
from the digital source. The performance of the converter
should not vary greatly with the termination method for these
update rates. For clock rates above 50MSPS, it may be
necessary that 50Ω termination resistors be used on this
board to achieve optimum spectral purity. If the digital pattern
source cannot drive this load, it is recommended that 200Ω
series resistors be used at high clock rates. The board is
shipped with 200Ω series resistors on the data and clock
lines. Notice that the PCB footprints are available on the
board for either termination technique. For high clock rates,
adjustment of the timing between the clock and the data may
be necessary for optimum performance. When implementing
the HI5628 onto a board that contains the digital data/clock
source in close proximity to the DAC, it is unlikely that any
termination resistors will be required.
Note that the board is also shipped with both input channels
tied together via 0Ω, 402 package resistors on the bottom of
the board. This is done so that both channels can be
evaluated from a single pattern generator. If 50Ω termination
is used while the channels are tied together, it should be
obvious that they are only needed on one channel, not both;
else you will be driving 25Ω.
Getting Started
A summary of the external supplies, equipment, and signal
sources needed to operate the board is given below:
1. +3V to +5V power supply(ies) for HI5628.
2. Data Generator capable of generating 8-bit patterns. The
HSP-EVAL with the HSP45116 NCOM daughter board is
an option (see ‘Learning Your Way Around’).
3. Clock source (usually part of the Data Generator).
4. Spectrum Analyzer or Oscilloscope for viewing the output
of the converter.
Attach a +3V to +5V power supply to the evaluation board
connections labeled DVDD1 and AVDD1. Connect the 8
input bits from the data generator to the evaluation board,
preferably by using a male, 64 or 96-pin VME (Versa Module
Eurocard) connector that mates with the eval board. See the
schematic for the correct pin connections. The middle row of
the VME is not used on the DAC board, which is why either a
Application Note 9840
64 or 96-pin connector will work. Connect the clock source to
the eval board, also preferably through the VME connector
(or using the clock SMAs; see the ‘Clock Inputs’ section for
more information). Failure to make clean and short
connections to the data input lines and clock source will
result in a decrease in spectral performance.
Using a coaxial cable with the proper SMA connector, attach
the output of one of the transformers, IOUT or QOUT, to the
measurement equipment that will be evaluating the
converter’s performance. Make sure that the jumpers are in
their proper placement. Consult the ‘Voltage Reference’
section and the ‘Sleep’ section of this document for a
definition of the jumpers’ functionality.
both boards. To run the software (NCOMCTRL) that
accompanied the HSP evaluation kit, place the diskette into
the 3.5” drive of the PC and type:
(drive letter):\,NCOMCTRL
which will run the HSP45116 Control Panel software. Set the
control panel’s selections to the following and check one of
the outputs of the DACs at either IOUT or QOUT using the
spectrum analyzer for a frequency equal to 1.63MHz.
The clock select of the control panel should be set to ‘Osc.
CLK’. The control signals should be as follows:
0 ENPHREG
0 CLROFR
Learning Your Way Around
Direct Digital Synthesis
To ensure that everything on the board is configured properly
and functional, it is suggested that the following DDS setup
be implemented. The board test requires:
1. HI5628EVAL1 Evaluation Board.
2. Spectrum Analyzer.
3. HSP-EVAL Board with the HSP45116 NCOM Daughter
Board Attached and included software, NCOMCTRL.
4. Personal Computer (IBM compatible) with a Parallel Port.
1 LOAD
0 BINFMT
1 PMSEL
The amplitude of the real output (RIN0-15) should be
8000HEX for full scale output. The center frequency register
can be set to 10ABCDEFHEX for a 1.63MHz tone. The Offset
Frequency, Phase Offset, and Time Accumulator Registers
should all be set to zeros. The spurious free dynamic range
that can be expected is typically 65dBc with this setup
operating at this frequency.
5. 50Ω SMA Cable.
6. Two +5V power supplies. One for the DAC Eval Board and
one for the HSP Eval Board.
Note: If the HSP-EVAL Board is to be used, it is highly
recommended that the user obtain the User’s Manual, the
data sheet for the HSP45116 NCOM, and the User’s Manual
for the HSP45116-DB. This platform is capable of testing the
converter up to 25MSPS, which is the speed of the HSPEVAL’s on-board clock. The user can choose to substitute
this clock with a slower one, but the DSP chip and DSP Eval
Board are only designed to work at a maximum of 25MHz (a
52MHz version of this DSP chip does exist but not in this
evaluation platform; see the HSP45116A). For testing of the
HI5628 at higher speeds, it is recommended that the user
obtain a high speed data generator capable of generating 8
bit patterns at the clock speed needed. The HSP45116
NCOM generates two, 16-bit channels of data.
HI5628EVAL1 is designed so that both of its input channels
mate with both of the DSP’s output channels. The zero ohm
resistors that connect the I and Q channels together on the
DAC eval board must be removed before using the
HSP45116 evaluation board. Also, the DSP Eval Board
cannot drive 50Ω.
HSP-EVAL Setup for DDS
Attach the HSP-EVAL and the HSP45116 Daughter Board
together; see figure 2. Consult their respective user manuals
for details. Connect the HI5628EVAL1 board to the P2
connector of the HSP-EVAL board. Then connect these to
an IBM compatible PC via the parallel port. Provide power to

Comments
The HI5628EVAL1 evaluation board is prepared to evaluate
the HI5628, 8-bit Dual D/A Converter. It can be modified to
evaluate the HI5728, 10-bit Dual D/A Converter with the
inclusion of the series resistors that correspond to the 2
LSBs of each channel and the replacement of the HI5628
with the HI5728. The zero ohm resistors to ground on these
LSBs will also have to be removed. This allows for easier
implementation of future upgrades as the user will only have
to order new D/As and not an additional board. The HI5628
and HI5728 share similar pinouts and their respective
evaluation boards are identical with only minor changes to
the manner in which they are populated. If the user is
currently using the 8-bit device, has more bits available
digitally, and thinks they might upgrade in the future, it is
recommended that the HI5628 be implemented into their
system board with similar capabilities.

Appendix A Description of Architecture
The segmented current source architecture has the ability to
improve the converter’s performance by reducing the amount
of current that is switching at any one time. In traditional
architectures, major transition points required the converter
to switch on or off large amounts of current. In a traditional 8bit R/2R ladder design, for example, the midscale transition
required equal amounts of currents switching on and off. In a
segmented current source arrangement, transitions such as
midscale become one in which you simply have an additional
intermediate current source turning on and several minor
ones turning off. In the case of the HI5628, there are 31
intermediate current segments that represent the 5 MSBs
and 3, binary-weighted current sources representing each of
the 3 LSBs. See the Functional Block Diagram in the data
sheet for a visual representation. To relate the midscale
transition example to the HI5628, consider the following:
5
Code 01111111 would be represented by 15 intermediate
current segments and each of the 3 LSB current sources all
turned on. To transition to code 10000000 would simply
require turning off the 3 LSB current sources and turning on
the next intermediate current segment, bringing the total
amount of current switching at this ‘major’ code transition
equal to the same amount switching at 30 other code
transition points in the code ramp from 0 to 255, so that the
total glitch energy is distributed more evenly.

NOTES:
1. AGND1 and DGND1 are tied together at a single point near the DAC. Optimum placement for Rgnd was found by iteration while observing the
spectral noise floor.
2. ICOMP1 and QCOMP1 MUST be tied together externally!
3. *E6 was mistakenly grounded so R56 should not be populated! E7, however, is correct and can be used to overdrive the internal reference op
amp for increasing the multiplying bandwidth.
