Data Sheet CDK3404 General Description FEATURES n 8-bit resolution, 180MSPS n ±2.5% gain matching n ±0.5% linearity error n Sync and blank controls n 1.0Vpp video into 37.5Ω or 75Ω load n Internal bandgap voltage reference n Low glitch energy n Single +3.3V power supply CDK3404 is a low-cost triple D/A converters that are tailored to fit graphics and video applications where speed is critical. CMOS-level inputs are converted to analog current outputs that can drive 25-37.5Ω loads corresponding to doubly-terminated 50-75Ω loads. A sync current following SYNC input timing is added to the IOG output. BLANK will override RGB inputs, setting IOG, IOB and IOR currents to zero when BLANK = L. Although appropriate for many applications, the internal 1.25V reference voltage can be overridden by the VREF input. Few external components are required, just the current reference resistor, current output load resistors, bypass capacitors, and decoupling capacitors.

CDK3404 Timing Diagram ©2009-2013 Exar Corporation 6/11 Rev 3F Data Sheet Functional Description Within the CDK3404 are three identical 8-bit D/A converters, each with a current source output. External loads are required to convert the current to voltage outputs. Data inputs RGB7-0 are overridden by the BLANK input. SYNC BLANK gates the D/A inputs. If BLANK = HIGH, the D/A inputs control the output currents to be added to the output blanking level. If BLANK = Low, data inputs and the pedestal are disabled. Data: 660mV max.

CDK3404 Current Source Structure Incoming GBR data is regsitered on the rising edge of the clock input, CLK. Analog outputs follow the rising edge of Blanking Input - BLANK When BLANK is LOW, pixel data inputs are ignored and the D/A converter outputs are driven to the blanking level. BLANK is registered on the rising edge of CLK. CLK after a delay, tDO. D/A Outputs Clock Input - CLK Each D/A output is a current source from the VDDA supply. Expressed in current units, the GBR transformation from data to current is as follows: Pixel data is registered on the rising edge of CLK. CLK should be driven by a dedicated buffer to avoid reflection induced jitter, overshoot, and undershoot. Pixel Data Inputs - R7-0, B7-0, G7-0 RGB digital inputs are registered on the rising edge of CLK. SYNC and BLANK SYNC and BLANK inputs control the output level (Figure 3 and Table 1, on the previous page) of the D/A converters during CRT retrace intervals. BLANK forces the D/A outputs to the blanking level while SYNC = L turns off a current source, IOS, that is connected to the green D/A converter. SYNC = H adds a 112/256 fraction of full-scale current to the green output. SYNC = L extinguishes the sync current during the sync tip. ©2009-2013 Exar Corporation G = G7-0 & BLANK + SYNC * 112 B = B7-0 & BLANK R = R7-0 & BLANK Typical LSB current step is 73.2μA. To obtain a voltage output, a resistor must be connected to ground. Output voltage depends upon this external resistor, the reference voltage, and the value of the gain-setting resistor connected between RREF and GND. To implement a doubly-terminated 75Ω transmission line, a shunt 75Ω resistor should be placed adjacent to the analog output pin. With a terminated 75Ω line connected to the analog output, the load on the CDK3404 current source is 37.5Ω. 7/11 Rev 3F Rev 3F Digital Inputs Bringing SYNC LOW, disables a current source which superimposes a sync pulse on the IOG output. SYNC and pixel data are registered on the rising edge of CLK. SYNC does not override any other data and should be used only during the blanking interval. If sync pulses are not required, SYNC should be connected to GND. CDK3404 8-bit, 180MSPS, Triple Video DAC = H activates, sync current from IOS for sync-on-green video signals. Data Sheet The CDK3404 may also be operated with a single 75Ω terminating resistor. To lower the output voltage swing to the desired range, the nominal value of the resistor on RREF should be doubled. Current source outputs can drive VESA VSIS, and RS343A/SMPTE-170M compatible levels into doubly-terminated 75Ω lines. Sync pulses can be added to the green output. When SYNC is HIGH, the current added to IOG is: IOS = 2.33 (VREF/ RREF) Current-Setting Resistor - RREF Full-scale output current of each D/A converter is determined by the value of the resistor connected between RREF and GND. Nominal value of RREF is found from: RREF = 5.31 (VREF/IFS) where IFS is the full-scale (white) output current (in amps) from the D/A converter (without sync). Sync is 0.439 * IFS. D/A full-scale (white) current may also be calculated from: IFS = VFS/RL Voltage Reference Full scale current is a multiple of the current ISET through an external resistor, RSET connected between the RREF pin ©2009-2013 Exar Corporation An internal voltage source of +1.25V is output on the VREF pin. An external +1.25V reference may be applied to override the internal reference. Decoupling VREF to GND with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor is required. Power and Ground Required power is a single +3.3V supply. To minimize power supply induced noise, analog +3.3V should be connected to VDDD and VDDA pins with 0.1µF and 0.01µF decoupling capacitors placed adjacent to each VDD pin or pin pair. The high slew-rate of digital data makes capacitive coupling to the outputs of any D/A converter a potential problem. Since the digital signals contain high-frequency components of the CLK signal, as well as the video output signal, the resulting data feedthrough often looks like harmonic distortion or reduced signal-to-noise performance. All ground pins should be connected to a common solid ground plane for best performance. 8/11 Rev 3F Rev 3F Where VFS is the white voltage level and RL is the total resistive load (Ω) on each D/A converter. VFS is the blank to full-scale voltage. Voltage Reference Output/Input - VREF CDK3404 8-bit, 180MSPS, Triple Video DAC R, G, and B Current Outputs - IOR, IOG, IOB and GND. Voltage across RSET is the reference voltage, VREF, which can be derived from either the 1.25 volt internal bandgap reference or an external voltage reference connected to VREF. To minimize noise, a 0.1μF capacitor should be connected between VREF and ground. ISET is mirrored to each of the GBR output current sources. To minimize noise, a 0.1μF capacitor should be connected between the COMP pin and the analog supply voltage VDDA. Data Sheet Applications Dicussion Figure 5 (on the following page) illustrates a typical CDK3404 interface circuit. In this example, an optional 1.2V bandgap reference is connected to the VREF output, overriding the internal voltage reference source. It is important that the CDK3404 power supply is wellregulated and free of high-frequency noise. Careful power supply decoupling will ensure the highest quality video signals at the output of the circuit. The CDK3404 has separate analog and digital circuits. To keep digital system noise from the D/A converter, it is recommended that power supply voltages come from the system analog power source and all ground connections (GND) be made to the analog ground plane. Power supply pins should be individually decoupled at the pin. Printed Circuit Board Layout 5. CLK should be handled carefully. Jitter and noise on this clock will degrade performance. Terminate the clock line carefully to eliminate overshoot and ringing. Improved Transisiton Times Output shunt capacitance dominates slowing of output transition times, whereas series inductance causes a small amount of ringing that affects overshoot and settling time. With a doubly terminated 75Ω load, transition times can be improved by matching the capacitive impedance output of the CDK3404. Output capacitance can be matched with a 220nH inductor in series with the 75Ω source termination. IOG W1 COAX 32 R1 75Ω U1 CDK3404 IOB W2 COAX 29 R2 75Ω 1. Keep the critical analog traces (VREF, IREF, COMP, IOS, IOR, IOG) as short as possible and as far as possible from all digital signals. The CDK3404 should be located near the board edge, close to the analog out-put connectors. 2. The power plane for the CDK3404 should be separate from that which supplies the digital circuitry. A single power plane should be used for all of the VDD pins. If the power supply for the CDK3404 is the same as that of the system’s digital circuitry, power to the CDK3404 should be decoupled with 0.1µF and 0.01µF capacitors and isolated with a ferrite bead. 3. The ground plane should be solid, not cross-hatched. Connections to the ground plane should have very short leads. ©2009-2013 Exar Corporation IOR W3 COAX 33 R3 75Ω L1 220nH R4 75Ω L2 220nH R5 75Ω L3 220nH R6 75Ω Figure 4. Schematic, Transition Time Sharpening Circuit A 220nH inductor trims the performance of a 4ft cable, quite well. In Figures xx through xx, the glitch at 12.5ns, is due to a reflection from the source. Not shown, are smaller glitches at 25 and 37.5ns, corresponding to secondary and tertiary reflections. Inductor values should be selected to match the length and type of the cable. 9/11 Rev 3F Rev 3F Designing with high-performance mixed-signal circuits demands printed circuits with ground planes. Overall system performance is strongly influenced by the board layout. Capacitive coupling from digital to analog circuits may result in poor D/A conversion. Consider the following suggestions when doing the layout: CDK3404 8-bit, 180MSPS, Triple Video DAC Grounding 4. If the digital power supply has a dedicated power plane layer, it should not be placed under the CDK3404, the voltage reference, or the analog outputs.
