NOTES:
2. Gain Error measured as the error in the ratio between the full scale output current and the current through RSET (typically 625A). 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. For multitone testing, the same pattern was
used at different clock rates, producing different output frequencies but at the same ratio to the clock rate.
5. Measured with the clock at 130MSPS and the output frequency at 5MHz.
6. Measured with the clock at 200MSPS and the output frequency at 20MHz.
7. Measured with the clock at 260MSPS and the output frequency at 40MHz.
8. See “Definition of Specifications”.
9. Recommended operation is from 3.0V to 3.6V. Operation below 3.0V is possible with some degradation in spectral performance. Reduction in
analog output current may be necessary to maintain spectral performance.

Definition of Specifications
Adjacent Channel Power Ratio, ACPR, is the ratio of the
average power in the adjacent frequency channel (or offset)
to the average power in the transmitted frequency channel.
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.
EDGE, Enhanced Data for Global Evolution, a TDMA
standard for cellular applications which uses 200kHz BW,
8-PSK modulated carriers.
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 °C.
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).
GSM, Global System for Mobile Communication, a TDMA
standard for cellular applications which uses 200kHz BW,
GMSK modulated carriers.
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 °C.
Offset Drift, is measured by setting the data inputs to all
logic low (all 0s) and measuring the output voltage at IOUTA
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 °C.
Offset Error, is measured by setting the data inputs to all
logic low (all 0s) and measuring the output voltage of IOUTA
through a known resistance. Offset error is defined as the
maximum deviation of the IOUTA output current from a value
of 0mA.
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 nominal supply voltage is varied 10% and the
change in the DAC full scale output is noted.
9
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 (-3dB) of its original value.

Detailed Description
The ISL5757 is a 10-bit, current out, CMOS, digital to analog
converter. The maximum update rate is at least 260+MSPS
and can be powered by a single power supply in the
recommended range of +3.0V to +3.6V. It consumes less
than 120mW of power when using a +3.3V supply, the
maximum 20mA of output current, and the data switching at
210MSPS. 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 these major transitions,
the overall glitch of the converter is dramatically reduced,
improving settling time, transient problems, and accuracy.
Digital Inputs and Termination
The ISL5757 digital inputs are guaranteed to 3V LVCMOS
levels. 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 50 lines, then 50 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. For pattern drivers with very high speed edge
rates, it is recommended that the user consider series
termination (50-200prior to the DAC’s inputs in order to
reduce the amount of noise.
Power Supply
Separate digital and analog power supplies are
recommended. The allowable supply range is +2.7V to
+3.6V. The recommended supply range is +3.0 to 3.6V

(nominally +3.3V) to maintain optimum SFDR. However,
operation down to +2.7V is possible with some degradation
in SFDR. Reducing the analog output current can help the
SFDR at +2.7V. The SFDR values stated in the table of
specifications were obtained with a +3.3V supply.
Ground Planes
Separate digital and analog ground planes should be used.
All of the digital functions of the device and their
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.
Noise Reduction
To minimize power supply noise, 0.1F 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 +1.23V with a 40ppm/°C drift coefficient over the
full temperature range of the converter. It is recommended
that a 0.1F 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 1.91k RSET
resistor, then the input coding to output current will resemble
the following:
Analog Output
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 -1.0V to 1.25V. ROUT (the impedance
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 ROUT.
The most effective method for reducing the power
consumption is to reduce the analog output current, which
dominates the supply current. The maximum recommended
output current is 20mA.
Differential Output
IOUTA and IOUTB can be used in a differential-to-singleended arrangement to achieve better harmonic rejection.
With RDIFF = 50and RLOAD = 50, the circuit in Figure 13
will provide a 500mV (-2.5dBm) signal at the output of the
transformer if the full scale output current of the DAC is set
to 20mA (used for the electrical specifications table). Values
of RDIFF = 100and RLOAD = 50 were used for the typical
performance curves. The center tap in Figure 13 must be
grounded.
In the circuit in Figure 14, the user is left with the option to
ground or float the center tap. The DC voltage that will exist
at either IOUTA or IOUTB if the center tap is floating is
IOUTDC x (RA//RB) V because RDIFF is DC shorted by the
transformer. If the center tap is grounded, the DC voltage is
0V. Recommended values for the circuit in Figure 14 are
RA = RB = 50, RDIFF = 100, assuming RLOAD = 50. The
performance of Figure 13 and Figure 14 is basically the
same, however leaving the center tap of Figure 14 floating
allows the circuit to find a more balanced virtual ground,
theoretically improving the even order harmonic rejection,
but likely reducing the signal swing available due to the
output voltage compliance range limitations.

The converter requires two clock rising edges for data to be
represented at the output. Each rising edge of the clock
captures the present data word and outputs the previous
data. The propagation delay is therefore 1/CLK, plus <2ns of
processing. See Figure 15.
