FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
•
•
The DAC5688 is a dual-channel 16-bit 800 MSPS
digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with dual CMOS
digital data bus, integrated 2x-8x interpolation filters,
a fine frequency mixer with 32-bit complex
numerically controlled oscillator (NCO), on-board
clock multiplier, IQ compensation, and internal
voltage reference. Different modes of operation
enable or bypass various signal processing blocks.
The DAC5688 offers superior linearity, noise,
crosstalk and PLL phase noise performance.

Differential Scalable Output: 2 to 20 mA
Package: 64-pin 9×9mm QFN
The DAC5688 dual CMOS data bus provides 250
MSPS input data transfer per DAC channel. Several
input data options are available: dual-bus data,
single-bus interleaved data, even and odd
multiplexing at half-rate, and an input FIFO with either
external or internal clock to ease interface timing.
Input data can interpolated 2x, 4x or 8x by on-board
digital interpolating FIR filters with over 80 dB of
stop-band attenuation.
The DAC5688 allows both complex or real output. An
optional 32-bit NCO/mixer in complex mode provides
frequency upconversion and the dual DAC output
produces a complex Hilbert Transform pair. A digital
Inverse SINC filter compensates for natural DAC
sin(x)/x frequency roll-off. The digital Quadrature
Modulator Correction (QMC) feature allows IQ
compensation of phase, gain and offset to maximize
sideband rejection and minimize LO feed-through of
an external quadrature modulator performing the final
single sideband RF up-conversion.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

PIN FUNCTIONS
PIN
NAME
NO.
I/O
DESCRIPTION
AVDD
51, 54,
55, 59,
62
I
Analog supply voltage. (3.3V)
BIASJ
57
O
Full-scale output current bias. For 20mA full-scale output current, connect a 960 Ω resistor to GND.
CLK2
2
I
With the clock multiplier PLL enabled, CLK2 provides lower frequency reference clock. If the PLL is disabled, CLK2
directly provides clock for DAC up to 800 MHz.
CLK2C
3
I
Complementary CLK2 input.
CLKO_CLK1
25
I/O
In Dual Clock Modes, provides lower frequency input clock (CLK1). Optionally provides clock (CLKO) output for data
bus. Internal pull-down.
LOCK_ CLK1C
26
I/O
Complementary CLK1 signal if configured as a differential input. In PLL mode, optionally outputs PLL lock status. Internal
pull-down.
CLKVDD
1
I
Internal clock buffer supply voltage. (1.8V)
It is recommended to isolate this supply from DVDD.
DA[15..0]
7, 8,
11–24
I
A-Channel Data Bits 0 through 15.
DA15 is most significant data bit (MSB) – pin 7
DA0 is least significant data bit (LSB) – pin 24
Internal pull-down. The order of bus can be reversed via CONFIG4 reva bit.
DB[15..0]
40–43,
27–38
I
B-Channel Data Bits 0 through 15.
DB15 is most significant data bit (MSB) – pin 43
DB0 is least significant data bit (LSB) – pin 27
Internal pull-down. The order of bus can be reversed via CONFIG4 revb bit.
DVDD
10, 39,
50, 63
I
Digital supply voltage. (1.8V)
For best performance it is recommended to isolate pins 10 and 39 from all other 1.8V supplies.
EXTIO
56
I/O
Used as external reference input when internal reference is disabled (i.e., EXTLO connected to AVDD). Used as internal
reference output when EXTLO = GND, requires a 0.1mF decoupling capacitor to GND when used as reference output
EXTLO
58
O
Connect to GND for internal reference, or AVDD for external reference.
4,
Thermal
Pad
I
Pin 4 and the Thermal Pad located on the bottom of the QFN package is ground for AVDD, DVDD and IOVDD supplies.
IOUTA1
52
O
A-Channel DAC current output. An offset binary data pattern of 0x0000 at the DAC input results in a full scale current
sink and the least positive voltage on the IOUTA1 pin. Similarly, a 0xFFFF data input results in a 0 mA current sink and
the most positive voltage on the IOUTA1 pin. In single DAC mode, outputs appear on the IOUTA1/A2 pair only.
IOUTA2
53
O
A-Channel DAC complementary current output. The IOUTA2 has the opposite behavior of the IOUTA1 described above.
An input data value of 0x0000 results in a 0mA sink and the most positive voltage on the IOUTA2 pin.
IOUTB1
61
O
B-Channel DAC current output. Refer to IOUTA1 description above.
IOUTB2
60
O
B-Channel DAC complementary current output. Refer to IOUTA2 description above.
IOVDD
9
I
3.3V supply voltage for all digital I/O. Note: This supply input should remain at 3.3V regardless of the 1.8V or 3.3V
selectable digital input switching thresholds via CONFIG26 io_1p8_3p3.
LPF
64
I
PLL loop filter connection. If not using the clock multiplying PLL, leave the LPF pin open. Set PLL_sleep and clear
PLL_ena control bits for reduced power dissipation.
SYNC
5
I
Optional SYNC input for internal clock dividers, FIFO, NCO and QMC blocks. Internal pull-down.
RESETB
49
I
Resets the chip when low. Internal pull-up.
SCLK
47
I
Serial interface clock. Internal pull-down.
SDENB
48
I
Active low serial data enable, always an input to the DAC5688. Internal pull-up.
SDIO
46
I/O
Bi-directional serial data in 3-pin mode (default). In 4-pin interface mode (CONFIG5 sif4), the SDIO pin is an input only.
Internal pull-down.
SDO
45
O
Uni-directional serial interface data in 4-pin mode (CONFIG5 sif4). The SDO pin is tri-stated in 3-pin interface mode
(default). Internal pull-down.
TXENABLE
6
I
Transmit enable input. Internal pull-down. TXENABLE has two purposes. In all modes, TXENABLE must be high for the
DATA to the DAC to be enabled. When TXENABLE is low, the digital logic section is forced to all 0, and any input data is
ignored. In interleaved data mode, TXENABLE can be used to synchronize the data to channels A and B. The first
A-channels sample should be aligned with the rising edge of TXENABLE.
VFUSE
44
I
Digital supply voltage. (1.8V) This supply pin is also used for factory fuse programming. Connect to DVDD pins for
normal operation.

The upper limit of the output compliance is determined by the CMOS process. Exceeding this limit may result in transistor breakdown,
resulting in reduced reliability of the DAC5688 device. The lower limit of the output compliance is determined by the load resistors and
full-scale output current. Exceeding the upper limit adversely affects distortion performance and integral nonlinearity.
Use an external buffer amplifier with high impedance input to drive any external load.

TEST METHODOLOGY
Typical AC specifications were characterized with the DAC5688EVM. A sinusoidal master clock frequency is
generated by an HP8665B signal generator which drives an Agilent 8133A pulse generator to generate a square
wave output clock for the TSW3100 Pattern Generator and EVM input clock. On the EVM, the input clock is
driven by an CDCM7005 clock distribution chip that is configured to simply buffer the external clock or divide it
down for necessary test configurations.
The DAC5688 output is characterized with a Rohde and Schwarz FSU spectrum analyzer. For WCDMA signal
characterization, it is important to use a spectrum analyzer with high IP3 and noise subtraction capability so that
the spectrum analyzer does not limit the ACPR measurement.
DEFINITION OF SPECIFICATIONS
Adjacent Carrier Leakage Ratio (ACLR): Defined for a 3.84Mcps 3GPP W-CDMA input signal measured in a
3.84MHz bandwidth at a 5MHz offset from the carrier with a 12dB peak-to-average ratio.
Analog and Digital Power Supply Rejection Ratio (APSRR, DPSRR): Defined as the percentage error in the
ratio of the delta IOUT and delta supply voltage normalized with respect to the ideal IOUT current.
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL): Defined as the variation in analog output associated with an ideal 1 LSB
change in the digital input code.
Gain Drift: Defined as the maximum change in gain, in terms of ppm of full-scale range (FSR) per °C, from the
value at ambient (25°C) to values over the full operating temperature range.
Gain Error: Defined as the percentage error (in FSR%) for the ratio between the measured full-scale output
current and the ideal full-scale output current.
Integral Nonlinearity (INL): Defined as the maximum deviation of the actual analog output from the ideal output,
determined by a straight line drawn from zero scale to full scale.
Intermodulation Distortion (IMD3, IMD): The two-tone IMD3 or four-tone IMD is defined as the ratio (in dBc) of
the worst 3rd-order (or higher) intermodulation distortion product to either fundamental output tone.
Offset Drift: Defined as the maximum change in DC offset, in terms of ppm of full-scale range (FSR) per °C,
from the value at ambient (25°C) to values over the full operating temperature range.
Offset Error: Defined as the percentage error (in FSR%) for the ratio between the measured mid-scale output
current and the ideal mid-scale output current.
Output Compliance Range: Defined as the minimum and maximum allowable voltage at the output of the
current-output DAC. Exceeding this limit may result reduced reliability of the device or adversely affecting
distortion performance.
Reference Voltage Drift: Defined as the maximum change of the reference voltage in ppm per degree Celsius
from value at ambient (25°C) to values over the full operating temperature range.
Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR): Defined as the difference (in dBc) between the peak amplitude of the
output signal and the peak spurious signal.
Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR): Defined as the ratio of the RMS value of the fundamental output signal to the
RMS sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist frequency, including noise, but excluding the first
six harmonics and dc.

Controls the expected format of the input data. For the interleaved modes, TXENABLE or the MSB of the port
that does not have data can be used to tell the chip which sample is the A sample. For TXENABLE the sample
aligned with the rising edge is A. For the MSB, it is presumed that this signal will toggle with A and B. The MSB
should be ‘1’ for A and ‘0’ for B. (*** See CONFIG23 ***)

Function
Normal input on A and B.
Interleaved input on A, which is de-interleaved and placed on
both A and B data paths. (*** See CONFIG23 ***)
Interleaved input on B, which is de-interleaved and placed on
both A and B data paths. (*** See CONFIG23 ***)
Half rate data on A and B inputs. This data is merge together
to form a single stream of data on the A data path.
This turns on the synchronous mode of the dual-clock in mode. In this mode, the CLK2/C and CLK1/C must be
synchronous in phase since the slower clock is used to synchronize dividers in the clock distribution circuit.
When set (default), the input data format is expected to be 2’s complement. When cleared, the input is
expected to be offset-binary.
This allows the input clock, the clock driving the input side of the FIFO to be inverted. This allows easier
registering of the data (more setup/hold time) in the single-clock mode of the device

When set (default), CLK1 and CLK1C pins are used as a differential clock input. Otherwise, CLK1 pin is used as
a single ended input.
When set (default), the CLKO_CLK1 pin is configured as the CLK1 input. If cleared, the pin is configured to
output an internally generated CLKO as a clock signal for the input data.
When set (default), the LOCK_CLK1C pin is configured as the CLK1C input. If cleared, the pin is configured to
output the PLL_LOCK status.
When set, the single ended (SE) clock is held to a value of ‘1’ so that the signal doesn’t toggle when using the
differential clock input.
When set, the FIR4 Inverse SINC filter is enabled. Otherwise it is bypassed
When set, the digital Quadrature Modulator Correction (QMC) offset correction circuitry is enabled.
When set, the QMC phase and gain correction circuitry is enabled.
When set, the Full Mixer (FMIX) is enabled. Otherwise it is bypassed.

When set, the serial interface (SIF) is a 4 bit interface, otherwise it is a 3 bit interface.
SIF created sync signal. Set to ‘1’ to cause a sync and then clear to ‘0’ to remove it.
Enables syncing of the clock divider using the sync or TXENABLE pins when the bit is asserted.
Selects the input pin to sync the clock dividers. (0 = SYNC, 1 = TXENABLE)
When set, a rising edge on the selected sync (see clkdiv_sync_sel) for the clock dividers will cause a slip in the
synchronous counter by 1T and is useful for multi-DAC time alignment.
When set, adds 6dB to the mixer gain output.

SDENB, SDIO (input only) and TXENABLE.
When set, DACB is put into sleep mode. Putting the DAC into single DAC mode does not automatically assert this
signal, so for minimum power in single DAC mode, also program this register bit.
When set, DACA is put into sleep mode. Note: If DACA channel is in sleep mode (sleepa = '1') the DACB channel
is also forced in to sleep mode.
Turns on the low pass filter for the current source bias in the DACA when cleared. The low pass filter will set a
corner at ~472kHz when low and ~95 kHz when high.
Turns on the low pass filter for the current source bias in the DACB when cleared. The low pass filter will set a

When set, can be used to hold the PLL loop filter at 0 volts.
When set, the PLL CLOCK output is 1/2 the PLL VCO frequency. Used to run the VCO at 2X the desired clock
frequency to reduce phase noise for lower DAC clock rates.
Used to adjust the PLL’s Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) gain, KVCO. Refer to the Electrical Characteristics
table. By increasing the PLL_gain, the VCO can cover a broader range of frequencies; however, the higher gain
also increases the phase noise of the PLL. In general, lower PLL_gain settings result in lower phase noise. The
KVCO of the VCO can also affect the PLL stability and is used to determine the loop filter components. See section
on determining the PLL filter components for more detail.
Used to adjust the bias current of the VCO. By increasing the bias current, the oscillator can reach higher
frequencies. Refer to the Electrical Characteristics table.
'0000' – minimum bias current and lowest VCO frequency range
'1111' – maximum bias current and highest VCO frequency range

SERIAL INTERFACE
The serial port of the DAC5688 is a flexible serial interface which communicates with industry standard
microprocessors and microcontrollers. The interface provides read/write access to all registers used to define the
operating modes of DAC5688. It is compatible with most synchronous transfer formats and can be configured as
a 3 or 4 pin interface by SIF4 in register CONFIG5. In both configurations, SCLK is the serial interface input
clock and SDENB is serial interface enable. For 3 pin configuration, SDIO is a bidirectional pin for both data in
and data out. For 4 pin configuration, SDIO is data in only and SDO is data out only. Data is input into the device
with the rising edge of SCLK. Data is output from the device on the falling edge of SCLK.
Each read/write operation is framed by signal SDENB (Serial Data Enable Bar) asserted low for 2 to 5 bytes,
depending on the data length to be transferred (1–4 bytes). The first frame byte is the instruction cycle which
identifies the following data transfer cycle as read or write, how many bytes to transfer, and what address to
transfer the data. Table 2 indicates the function of each bit in the instruction cycle and is followed by a detailed
description of each bit. Frame bytes 2 to 5 comprise the data transfer cycle.

during the instruction cycle. In 3 pin configuration, SDIO is data out from DAC5688 during the data transfer
cycle(s), while SDO is in a high-impedance state. In 4 pin configuration, SDO is data out from DAC5688 during
the data transfer cycle(s). The SDIO/SDO data is output on the falling edge of SCLK. At the end of the data
transfer, SDO will output low on the final falling edge of SCLK until the rising edge of SDENB when it will 3-state.

FIR FILTERS
Figure 22 shows the magnitude spectrum response for FIR1, a 67-tap interpolating half-band filter. The transition
band is from 0.4 to 0.6 × fIN (the input data rate for the FIR filter) with <0.002-dB of pass-band ripple and > 80-dB
stop-band attenuation. Figure 23 shows the transition band region from 0.37 to 0.47 × fIN. Up to 0.458 × fIN there
is less than 0.5 dB of attenuation.
Figure 24 shows the magnitude spectrum response for the 19-tap FIR2 filter. The transition band is from 0.25 to
0.75 × fIN (the input data rate for the FIR filter). For 4x interpolation modes, the composite filter response is
shown in Figure 25.
Figure 26 shows the magnitude spectrum response for the 11-tap FIR3 filter. For 8x interpolation modes, the
composite filter response is shown in Figure 27.
The DAC5688 also has a 9-tap non-interpolating inverse sinc filter (FIR4) running at the DAC update rate (fDAC)
that can be used to flatten the frequency response of the sample and hold output. The DAC sample and hold
output set the output current and holds it constant for one DAC clock cycle until the next sample, resulting in the
well known sin(x)/x or sinc(x) frequency response shown in Figure 28 (red dash-dotted line). The inverse sinc
filter response (Figure 28, blue dashed line) has the opposite frequency response between 0 to 0.4 × fDAC,
resulting in the combined response (Figure 28, green solid line). Between 0 to 0.4 × fDAC, the inverse sinc filter
compensates the sample and hold rolloff with less than 0.03-dB error.
The inverse sinc filter has a gain > 1 at all frequencies. Therefore, the signal input to FIR4 must be reduced from
full scale to prevent saturation in the filter. The amount of backoff required depends on the signal frequency, and
is set such that at the signal frequencies the combination of the input signal and filter response is less than 1 (0
dB). For example, if the signal input to FIR4 is at 0.25 × fDAC, the response of FIR4 is 0.9 dB, and the signal must
be backed off from full scale by 0.9 dB. The gain function in the QMC block can be used to set reduce amplitude
of the input signal. The advantage of FIR4 having a positive gain at all frequencies is that the user is then able to
optimized backoff of the signal based on the signal frequency.
The filter taps for all digital filters are listed in Table 4. Note that the loss of signal amplitude may result in lower
SNR due to decrease in signal amplitude.

Full Complex Mixer (FMIX)
The full complex Mixer (FMIX) block uses a Numerically Controlled Oscillator (NCO) with a 32-bit frequency
register phaseadd(31:0) and a 16-bit phase register phaseoffset(15:0) to provide sin and cos for mixing. The
NCO tuning frequency is programmed in CONFIG8 through CONFIG11 registers. Phase offset is programmed in
CONFIG6 and CONFIG7 registers. A block-diagram of the NCO is shown below in Figure 29.

Synchronization of the NCO occurs by resetting the NCO accumulator to zero. The synchronization source is

Where t is the time since the last resetting of the NCO accumulator, d is the phase offset value and mixer_gain

(4)
The maximum output amplitude of FMIX occurs if IIN(t) and QIN(t) are simultaneously full scale amplitude and the
sine and cosine arguments 2pfNCOt + d (2N-1)×p/4 (N = 1, 2, ...).
With CONFIG5 mixer_gain = 0, the gain through FMIX is sqrt(2)/2 or –3 dB. This loss in signal power is in most
cases undesirable, and it is recommended that the gain function of the QMC block be used to increase the signal
by 3 dB to compensate. With mixer_gain = 1, the gain through FMIX is sqrt(2) or + 3 dB, which can cause
clipping of the signal if IIN(t) and QIN(t) are simultaneously near full scale amplitude and should therefore be used
with caution.

Quadrature Modulator Correction (QMC)
The Quadrature Modulator Correction (QMC) block provides a means for adjusting the gain and phase of the
complex signal. At a quadrature modulator output, gain and phase imbalances result in an undesired sideband
signal.
The block diagram for the QMC is shown in Figure 30. The QMC block contains 3 programmable parameters:
qmc_gaina(10:0), qmc_gainb(10:0) and qmc_phase(9:0).
Registers qmc_gaina(10:0) and qmc_gainb(10:0) control the I and Q path gains and are 11 bit values with a
range of 0 to approximately 2. This value is used to scale the signal range. Register qmc_phase(9:0) controls the
phase imbalance between I and Q and is a 10-bit value that ranges from –1/8 to approximately +1/8. This value
is multiplied by each Q sample then summed into the I sample path. This operation is a simplified approximation
of a true phase rotation and covers the range from –7.5 to +7.5 degrees in 1024 steps.

The qmc_offseta(12:0) and qmc_offsetb(12:0) values can be used to independently adjust the I and Q path DC
offsets. Both offset values are in represented in 2s-complement format with a range from –4096 to 4095.
The offset value adds a digital offset to the digital data before digital-to-analog conversion. Since the offset is
added directly to the data it may be necessary to back off the signal to prevent saturation. Both data and offset
values are LSB aligned.

DUAL SYNCHRONOUS CLOCK MODE
In DUAL SYNCHRONOUS CLOCK MODE, the user provides the CLK2/C clock signal at the DAC sample rate
and also provides a divided down CLK1 at the input data rate. The CLK1 signal can be differential or
single-ended. Refer to Figure 16 for the timing diagram. In this mode the relationship between CLK2 and CLK1
(t_align) is critical and used as a synchronizing mechanism for the internal logic. This facilitates multi-DAC
synchronization by using dual external clock inputs CLK1 and CLK2 while FIFO data is always written and read
from location zero. It is highly recommended that a clock synchronizer device such as the CDCM7005 provide
both CLK2/C and CLK1/C inputs. Although CLK1 could be single-ended it is recommended to use a differential
clock to ensure proper skews between the two clock inputs.
DUAL CLOCK MODE
In DUAL CLOCK MODE, the user provides the CLK2/C clock signal at the DAC sample rate and also provides a
divided down CLK1 at the input data rate. The CLK1 signal can be differential or single-ended. Refer to Figure 32
for the timing diagram. Unlike the DUAL SYNCHRONOUS CLOCK MODE, the t_align parameter is not critical
because these clocks are not used as a synchronizing mechanism for the internal logic and the FIFO is used as
an elastic buffer for the data. Synchronizing in this mode is provided by separate control inputs.

EXTERNAL CLOCK MODE
In EXTERNAL CLOCK MODE, the user provides a clock signal at the DAC output sample rate through CLK2/C.
The CLKO_CLK1 pin is configured as an output in this mode and will toggle at a required frequency for the
configured interpolation rate and data mode. The CLKO_CLK1 clock can be used to drive the input data source
(such as digital upconverter) that sends the data to the DAC. Note that the CKO_CLK1 delay relative to the input
CLK2 rising edge (td(CLKO) in Figure 33) will increase with increasing loads.

PLL CLOCK MODE
In PLL CLOCK MODE, the user provides an external reference clock to the CLK2/C input pins. Refer to
Figure 34. An internal clock multiplying PLL uses the lower-rate reference clock to generate a high-rate clock for
the DAC. This function is very useful when a high-rate clock is not already available at the system level;
however, the internal VCO phase noise in PLL Clock Mode may degrade the quality of the DAC output signal
when compared to an external low jitter clock source.

Figure 34. PLL CLOCK MODE Timing Diagram
The internal PLL has a type four phase-frequency detector (PFD) comparing the CLK2/C reference clock with a
feedback clock to drive a charge pump controlling the VCO operating voltage and maintaining synchronization
between the two clocks. An external low-pass filter is required to control the loop response of the PLL. See the
Low-Pass Filter section for the filter setting calculations. This is the only mode where the LPF filter applies.
The input reference clock N-Divider is selected by CONFIG29 PLL_n(2:0) for values of ÷1, ÷2, ÷4 or ÷8. The
VCO feedback clock M-Divider is selected by CONFIG29 PLL_m(4:0) for values of ÷1, ÷2, ÷4, ÷8, ÷16 or ÷32.
The combination of M-Divider and N-Divider form the clock multiplying ratio of M/N. If the reference clock
frequency is greater than 160MHz, use a N-Divider of ÷2, ÷4 or ÷8 to avoid exceeding the maximum PFD
operating frequency.
For DAC sample rates less than the maximum VCO operating frequency of 910/2 or 455 MHz. The phase noise
of PLL may improved by using the output divider via CONFIG30 VCO_div2. If not using the PLL, clear
CONFIG26 PLL_ena and set CONFIG26 PLL_sleep to reduce power consumption. In some cases, it may be
useful to reset the VCO control voltage by toggling CONFIG30 PLL_LPF_reset.

INTERLEAVED BUS MODE
In INTERLEAVED BUS MODE, the user inputs dual-channel data as an interleaved single data stream to either
DA[15:] or DB[15:0] ports. The DAC5688 de-interleaves the input data stream and routes to both A and B data
paths. For input data on DA[15:0], set CONFIG1 insel_mode[15:0] = ‘01’. For input data on DB[15:0], set
CONFIG1 insel_mode[15:0] = ‘10’. In this bus mode, a separate input flag is required to distinguish an A sample
from a B sample in the interleaved data stream. This flag can either be the single event rising edge of
TXENABLE or the continuous toggling MSB of the port inactive data port. For the TXENABLE flag option, set the
CONFIG23 aflag_sel bit and the A sample will be expected to be aligned with the rising edge of TXENABLE. For
the toggling MSB option, clear the CONFIG23 aflag_sel bit and the A sample will be expected for each ‘1’ of the
MSB with the B sample is flagged for each ‘0’ of the MSB. Refer to Figure 37.

The input switches levels for all CMOS digital inputs can be changed from 3.3V input levels to 1.8V input levers
by programming the CONFIG26 io_1p8_3p3 register bit. If io_1p8_3p3 is cleared, the input thresholds are set

REFERENCE OPERATION
The DAC5688 uses a bandgap reference and control amplifier for biasing the full-scale output current. The
full-scale output current is set by applying an external resistor RBIAS to pin BIASJ. The bias current IBIAS through
resistor RBIAS is defined by the on-chip bandgap reference voltage and control amplifier. The default full-scale
output current equals 16 times this bias current and can thus be expressed as:
IOUTFS = 16 × IBIAS = 16 × VEXTIO / RBIAS
Each DAC has a 4-bit independent coarse gain control via coarse_daca(3:0) and coarse_dacb (3:0) in the
CONFIG27 register. Using gain control, the IOUTFS can be expressed as:
IOUTAFS = (DACA_gain + 1) × IBIAS = (DACA_gain + 1) × VEXTIO / RBIAS
IOUTBFS = (DACB_gain + 1) × IBIAS = (DACB_gain + 1) × VEXTIO / RBIAS
where VEXTIO is the voltage at terminal EXTIO. The bandgap reference voltage delivers an accurate voltage of
1.2 V. This reference is active when terminal EXTLO is connected to AGND. An external decoupling capacitor
CEXT of 0.1 mF should be connected externally to terminal EXTIO for compensation. The bandgap reference can
additionally be used for external reference operation. In that case, an external buffer with high impedance input
should be applied in order to limit the bandgap load current to a maximum of 100 nA. The internal reference can
be disabled and overridden by an external reference by connecting EXTLO to AVDD. Capacitor CEXT may hence
be omitted. Terminal EXTIO thus serves as either input or output node.
The full-scale output current can be adjusted from 20 mA down to 2 mA by varying resistor RBIAS or changing the
externally applied reference voltage. The internal control amplifier has a wide input range, supporting the
full-scale output current range of 20 dB.
DAC TRANSFER FUNCTION
The CMOS DAC’s consist of a segmented array of NMOS current sinks, capable of sinking a full-scale output
current up to 20 mA. Differential current switches direct the current to either one of the complementary output
nodes IOUT1 or IOUT2. (DACA = IOUTA1 or IOUTA2 and DACB = IOUTB1 or IOUTB2.) Complementary output
currents enable differential operation, thus canceling out common mode noise sources (digital feed-through,
on-chip and PCB noise), dc offsets, even order distortion components, and increasing signal output power by a
factor of two.

The full-scale output current is set using external resistor RBIAS in combination with an on-chip bandgap voltage
reference source (+1.2 V) and control amplifier. Current IBIAS through resistor RBIAS is mirrored internally to
provide a maximum full-scale output current equal to 16 times IBIAS.
The relation between IOUT1 and IOUT2 can be expressed as:
IOUT1 = – IOUTFS – IOUT2
We will denote current flowing into a node as – current and current flowing out of a node as + current. Since the
output stage is a current sink the current can only flow from AVDD into the IOUT1 and IOUT2 pins. The output
current flow in each pin driving a resistive load can be expressed as:
IOUT1 = IOUTFS × (65536 – CODE) / 65536
IOUT2 = IOUTFS × CODE / 65536
where CODE is the decimal representation of the DAC data input word.
For the case where IOUT1 and IOUT2 drive resistor loads RL directly, this translates into single ended voltages
at IOUT1 and IOUT2:
VOUT1 = AVDD – | IOUT1 | × RL
VOUT2 = AVDD – | IOUT2 | × RL
Assuming that the data is full scale (65536 in offset binary notation) and the RL is 25 Ω, the differential voltage
between pins IOUT1 and IOUT2 can be expressed as:
VOUT1 = AVDD – | –0mA | × 25 Ω = 3.3 V
VOUT2 = AVDD – | –20mA | × 25 Ω = 2.8 V
VDIFF = VOUT1 – VOUT2 = 0.5V
Note that care should be taken not to exceed the compliance voltages at node IOUT1 and IOUT2, which would
lead to increased signal distortion.
DAC OUTPUT SINC RESPONSE
Due to sampled nature of a high-speed DAC’s, the well known sin(x)/x (or SINC) response can significantly
attenuate higher frequency output signals. Refer to Figure 44 which shows the unitized SINC attenuation roll-off
with respect to the final DAC sample rate in 4 Nyquist zones. For example, if the final DAC sample rate FS = 1.0
GSPS, then a tone at 440MHz will be attenuated by 3.0dB. Although the SINC response can create challenges
in frequency planning, one side benefit is the natural attenuation of Nyquist images. The increased over-sampling
ratio of the input data provided by the DAC5688’s 2x, 4x and 8x digital interpolation modes improve the SINC
roll-off (droop) within the original signal’s band of interest.

ANALOG CURRENT OUTPUTS
Figure 45 shows a simplified schematic of the current source array output with corresponding switches.
Differential switches direct the current of each individual NMOS current source to either the positive output node
IOUT1 or its complementary negative output node IOUT2. The output impedance is determined by the stack of
the current sources and differential switches, and is typically >300 kΩ in parallel with an output capacitance of 5
pF.
The external output resistors are referred to an external ground. The minimum output compliance at nodes
IOUT1 and IOUT2 is limited to AVDD – 0.5 V, determined by the CMOS process. Beyond this value, transistor
breakdown may occur resulting in reduced reliability of the DAC5688 device. The maximum output compliance
voltage at nodes IOUT1 and IOUT2 equals AVDD + 0.5 V. Exceeding the minimum output compliance voltage
adversely affects distortion performance and integral non-linearity. The optimum distortion performance for a
single-ended or differential output is achieved when the maximum full-scale signal at IOUT1 and IOUT2 does not
exceed 0.5 V.

Figure 45. Equivalent Analog Current Output
The DAC5688 can be easily configured to drive a doubly terminated 50Ω cable using a properly selected RF
transformer. Figure 46 and Figure 47 show the 50Ω doubly terminated transformer configuration with 1:1 and 4:1
impedance ratio, respectively. Note that the center tap of the primary input of the transformer has to be
connected to AVDD to enable a cd current flow. Applying a 20mA full-scale output current would lead to a 0.5
VPP for a 1:1 transformer and a 1 VPP output for a 4:1 transformer. The low dc-impedance between IOUT1 or
IOUT2 and the transformer center tap sets the center of the ac-signal at AVDD, so the 1 VPP output for the 4:1
transformer results in an output between AVDD + 0.5 V and AVDD – 0.5 V.

PASSIVE INTERFACE TO ANALOG QUADRATURE MODULATORS
A common application in communication systems is to interface the DAC to an IQ modulator like the TRF3703
family of modulators from Texas Instruments. The input of the modulator is generally of high impedance and
requires a specific common-mode voltage. A simple resistive network can be used to maintain 50Ω load
impedance for the DAC5688 and also provide the necessary common-mode voltages for both the DAC and the
modulator.

The DAC5688 has a maximum 20mA full-scale output and a voltage compliance range of AVDD ± 0.5 V. The
TRF3703 IQ modulator family can be operated at three common-mode voltages: 1.5V, 1.7V, and 3.3V.
Figure 49 shows the recommended passive network to interface the DAC5688 to the TRF3703-17 which has a
common mode voltage of 1.7V. The network generates the 3.3V common mode required by the DAC output and
1.7V at the modulator input, while still maintaining 50Ω load for the DAC.

If V1 is set to 5V and V2 is set to -5V, the corresponding resistor values are R1 = 57Ω, R2 = 80Ω, and R3 =
336Ω. The loss developed through R2 is about -1.86 dB. In the case where there is no –5V supply available and
V2 is set to 0V, the resistor values are R1 = 66Ω, R2 = 101Ω, and R3 = 107Ω. The loss with these values is
–5.76dB.
Figure 50 shows the recommended network for interfacing with the TRF3703-33 which requires a common mode
of 3.3V. This is the simplest interface as there is no voltage shift. Because there is no voltage shift there is any
loss in the network. With V1 = 5V and V2 = 0V, the resistor values are R1 = 66Ω and R3 = 208Ω.

In most applications a baseband filter is required between the DAC and the modulator to eliminate the DAC
images. This filter can be placed after the common-mode biasing network. For the DAC to modulator network
shown in Figure 51, R2 and the filter load R4 need to be considered into the DAC impedance. The filter has to be
designed for the source impedance created by the resistor combination of R3 // (R2+R1). The effective
impedance seen by the DAC is affected by the filter termination resistor resulting in R1 // (R2+R3 // (R4/2)).

Figure 51. DAC5688 to Modulator Interface with Filter
Factoring in R4 into the DAC load, a typical interface to the TRF3703-17 with V1 = 5V and V2 = 0V results in the
following values: R1 = 72Ω, R2 = 116Ω, R3 = 124Ω and R4 = 150Ω. This implies that the filter needs to be
designed for 75Ω input and output impedance (single-ended impedance). The common mode levels for the DAC
and modulator are maintained at 3.3V and 1.7V and the DAC load is 50Ω. The added load of the filter
termination causes the signal to be attenuated by –10.8 dB.
A filter can be implemented in a similar manner to interface with the TRF3703-33. In this case it is much simpler
to balance the loads and common mode voltages due to the absence of R2. An added benefit is that there is no
loss in this network. With V1 = 5V and V2 = 0V the network can be designed such that R1 = 115Ω, R3 = 681Ω,
and R4 = 200Ω. This results in a filter impedance of R1 // R2=100Ω, and a DAC load of R1 // R3 // (R4/2) which
is equal to 50Ω. R4 is a differential resistor and does not affect the common mode level created by R1 and R3.
The common-mode voltage is set at 3.3 V for a full-scale current of 20mA.
For more information on how to interface the DAC5688 to an analog quadrature modulator please refer to the
application reports Passive Terminations for Current Output DACs (SLAA399) and Design of Differential Filters

RECOMMENDED STARTUP SEQUENCE
The following startup sequence is recommend to initialization the DAC5688:
1. Supply all 1.8V (CLKVDD, DVDD, VFUSE) and 3.3V (AVDD and IOVDD) voltages.
2. Toggle RESETB pin for a minimum 25 nSec active low pulse width.
3. Provide a stable CLK2/C input clock.
4. Program all desired SIF registers.
5. Provide a sync signal to all digital blocks. The sync input source may be either TXENABLE pin, SYNC pin or
a software sync via CONFIG5 sif_sync_sig bit; however, only the TXENABLE or SYNC pins are
recommended for multi-DAC synchronization. Refer to CONFIG5, CONFIG22 and CONFIG23 registers for
sync source selection. Note: Registers CONFIG6 through CONFIG13 all require a sync input to transfer the
contents of the control register inputs to the active digital blocks.
6. Provide data flow.
MULTI-DAC SYNCHRONIZATION
If the system has two or more DACs requiring synchronization, the sync signal in Step 5 of the RECOMMENDED
STARTUP SEQUENCE must be provided to all the DACs simultaneously. The sync input source must be either
the TXENABLE pin or the SYNC pin (the software sync is not recommended).
In some applications such as beamforming it is required that the multiple DACs in the system have constant
latency thus resulting in phase aligned outputs. As a result of the clock domain transfer on the DAC5688 FIFO,
the outputs of all DACs can only be synchronized to within ±1 DAC clock cycle in the External and Dual Clock
modes. In order to guarantee exact phase alignment between all devices it is required to set up the device in
Dual Synchronous Clock mode.
DESIGNING THE PLL LOOP FILTER
To minimize phase noise given for a given fDAC and M/N, the values of PLL_gain and PLL_range are selected
so that GVCO is minimized and within the MIN and MAX frequency for a given setting.
The external loop filter components C1, C2, and R1 are set by the GVCO, M/N, the loop phase margin fd and the
loop bandwidth wd. Except for applications where abrupt clock frequency changes require a fast PLL lock time, it
is suggested that fd be set to at least 80 degrees for stable locking and suppression of the phase noise side
lobes. Phase margins of 60 degrees or less can be sensitive to board layout and decoupling details.
See Figure 52 for the recommend external loop filter topology. C1, C2, and R1 are calculated by the following
equations

and other changes to its products and services at any time and to discontinue any product or service without notice. Customers should
obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and complete. All products are
sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its hardware products to the specifications applicable at the time of sale in accordance with TI’s standard
warranty. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary to support this warranty. Except where
mandated by government requirements, testing of all parameters of each product is not necessarily performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or customer product design. Customers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with customer products and applications, customers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any TI patent right, copyright, mask work right,
or other TI intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license from TI to use such products or services or a
warranty or endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual
property of the third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is accompanied
by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. Reproduction of this information with alteration is an unfair and deceptive
business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional
restrictions.
Resale of TI products or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all
express and any implied warranties for the associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not
responsible or liable for any such statements.
TI products are not authorized for use in safety-critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably
be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, unless officers of the parties have executed an agreement specifically governing
such use. Buyers represent that they have all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications of their applications, and
acknowledge and agree that they are solely responsible for all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning their products
and any use of TI products in such safety-critical applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be
provided by TI. Further, Buyers must fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of TI products in
such safety-critical applications.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments unless the TI products are
specifically designated by TI as military-grade or "enhanced plastic." Only products designated by TI as military-grade meet military
specifications. Buyers acknowledge and agree that any such use of TI products which TI has not designated as military-grade is solely at
the Buyer's risk, and that they are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in automotive applications or environments unless the specific TI products are
designated by TI as compliant with ISO/TS 16949 requirements. Buyers acknowledge and agree that, if they use any non-designated
products in automotive applications, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet such requirements.
