HI5721
Detailed Description
The HI5721 is a 10-bit, current out D/A converter. The DAC
can convert at 125 MSPS and runs on +5V and -5.2V
supplies. The architecture is an R/2R and segmented
switching current cell arrangement to reduce glitch and
maintain 10-bit linearity without laser trimming. The HI5721
achieves its low power and high speed performance from an
advanced BiCMOS process. The HI5721 consumes 700mW
(typical) and has an improved hold time of only 0.5ns
(typical). The HI5721 is an excellent converter to be used for
communications applications and high performance video
systems.
To terminate the clock line a shunt terminator to ground is the
most effective type at a 125 MSPS clock rate. A typical value
for termination can be determined by the equation:
RT = ZO ,
for the termination resistor. For a controlled impedance
board with a ZO of 50Ω , the RT = 50Ω . Shunt termination is
best used at the receiving end of the transmission line or as
close to the HI5721 CLK pin as possible.

The HI5721 is a TTL/CMOS compatible D/A. The inputs can
be inverted using the INVERT pin. When INVERT is LOW
(‘0’) the input quadrature logic simply passes the data
through unchanged.
When INVERT is HIGH (‘1’) bits D0 (LSB) through D8 are
inverted. D9 is not inverted and can be considered a sign bit
when enabling this quadrature compatible mode. The
INVERT function can simplify the requirements for large sine
wave lookup tables in a Numerically Controlled Oscillator.
The NCO used in a DDS application would only have to
store or generate 90 degrees of information and then use the
INVERT control to control the sign of the output waveform.
Data Buffer/Level Shifters
Data inputs D0 (LSB) through D9 (MSB) are internally
translated from TTL to ECL. The internal latch and switching
current source controls are implemented in ECL technology to
maintain high switching speeds and low noise characteristics.
Decoder/Driver
The architecture employs a split R/2R and Segmented
Current source arrangement. Bits D0 (LSB) through D5
directly drive a typical R/2R network to create the binary
weighted current sources. Bits D6 through D9 (MSB) pass
through a “thermometer” encoder that converters the
incoming data into 15 individual segmented current source
enables. The split architecture helps to improve glitch while
maintaining 10-bit linearity without laser trimming. The worst
case glitch is more constant across the entire output transfer
function.
Clocks and Termination
The internal 10-bit register is updated on the rising edge of the
clock. Since the HI5721 clock rate can run to 125 MSPS, to
minimize reflections and clock noise into the part proper
termination should be used. In PCB layout clock runs should be
kept short and have a minimum of loads. To guarantee
consistent results from board to board, controlled impedance
PCBs should be used with a characteristic line impedance ZO
of 50Ω .

Rise and Fall times and propagation delay of the line will be
affected by the Shunt Terminator. The terminator can be
connected to DGND.
Noise Reduction
To reduce power supply noise, separate analog and digital
power supplies should be used with 0.1µF and 0.01µF
ceramic capacitors placed as close to the body of the
HI5721 as possible on the analog (AVEE) and digital (DVEE)
supplies. The analog and digital ground returns should be
connected together back at the device to ensure proper
operation on power up. The VCC power pin should be
decoupled with a 0.1µF capacitor.
Reference
The internal reference in the HI5721 is a -1.25V (typical)
bandgap voltage reference with a 100µV/oC temperature
drift (typical). The internal reference should be buffered by
the Control Amplifier to provide adequate drive for the
segmented current cells and the R/2R resistor ladder.
Reference Out (REF OUT) should be connected to the
Control Amplifier Input (CTRL AMP IN). The Control
Amplifier Output (CTRL AMP OUT) should be used to drive
the Reference Input (REF IN) and a 0.1µF capacitor to
analog V- (AVEE). This improves settling time by decoupling
switching noise from the analog output of the HI5721.
The Full Scale Output Current is controlled by the CTRL
AMP IN pin and the set resistor (RSET). The ratio is:
IOUT (Full Scale) = (VCTRL AMP IN/RSET) x 32.
Multiplying Capability
The HI5721 can operate in two different multiplying
configurations. First, using the CTRL AMP IN input pin, a
-0.6V to -1.2V signal can be applied with a bandwidth up to
1MHz. To increase the multiplying bandwidth, the 0.1µF
capacitor connected from REF IN to AVEE can be reduced.

If higher multiplying frequencies are desired, the reference

to -4.25V. The multiplying signal must be capacitively

(-3.8V typically).

Outputs
The outputs IOUT and IOUT are complementary current
outputs. Current is steered to either IOUT or IOUT in
proportion to the digital input code. The sum of the two
currents is always equal to the full scale current minus one
LSB. The current output can be converted to a voltage by
using a load resistor. Both current outputs should have the
same load resistor (64Ω typically). By using a 64Ω load on
the output, a 50Ω effective output resistance (ROUT) is
achieved due to the 227Ω (±15%) parallel resistance seen
looking back into the output. This is the nominal value of the
R2R ladder of the DAC. The 50Ω output is needed for
matching the output with a 50Ω line. The load resistor should
be chosen so that the effective output resistance (ROUT)
matches the line resistance. The output voltage is:
VOUT = IOUT x ROUT .
IOUT is defined in the reference section. The compliance
range of the output is from -1.5V to 3V, with a 1VP-P voltage
swing allowed within this range. However, if it is desired that
the output be offset above zero volts, it is necessary that pin
19 (ARTN) be connected to the same voltage as the load
resistor, not to exceed 3V.

The output glitch of the HI5721 is measured by summing the
area under the switching transients after an update of the
DAC. Glitch is caused by the time skew between bits of the
incoming digital data. Typically the switching time of digital
inputs are asymmetrical meaning that the turn off time is
faster than the turn on time (TTL designs). Unequal delay
paths through the device can also cause one current source
to change before another. To minimize this the Intersil
HI5721 employes an internal register, just prior to the current
sources, that is updated on the clock edge. Lastly the worst
case glitch usually happens at the major transition i.e.,
01 1111 1111 to 10 0000 0000. But in the HI5721 the glitch
is moved to the 00 0001 1111 to 11 1110 0000 transition.
This is achieved by the split R/2R segmented current source
architecture. This decreases the amount of current switching
at any one time and makes the glitch practically constant
over the entire output range. By making the glitch a constant
size over the entire output range this effectively integrates
this error out of the end application.
In measuring the output glitch of the HI5721 the output is
terminated into a 64Ω load. The glitch is measured at the
major carrys throughout the DAC’s output range.
The glitch energy is calculated by measuring the area under
the voltage-time curve. Figure 21 shows the area considered
as glitch when changing the DAC output. Units are typically
specified in picoVolt • seconds (pV • s).

Voltage Conversion of the Output
To convert the output current of the D/A converter to a
voltage, an amplifier should be used as shown in Figure 23
below. The DAC needs a 50Ω termination resistor on the
IOUT pin to ensure proper settling. The HFA1110 has an
internal feedback resistor to compensate for high frequency
operation.
This high level block diagram is that of a basic PSK
modulator. In this example the encoder generates the PSK
waveform by driving the Phase Modulation Inputs (P1, P0) of
the HSP45102. The P1-0 inputs impart a phase shift to the
carrier wave as defined in Table 2.

Bipolar Applications
To convert the output to a bipolar ±2.0V output swing the
following applications circuit is recommended. The
Reference can only provide 100µA of drive, so it must be
buffered to create the bipolar offset current needed to
generate -2.0V output with all bits ‘off’. The output current
must be converted to a voltage and then gained up and
offset to produce the proper swing. Care must be taken to
compensate for the output voltage swing and error.
Interfacing to the HSP45106 NCO-16
The HSP45106 is a 16-bit output, Numerically-Controlled
Oscillator (NCO). The HSP45106 can be used to generate
various modulation schemes for Direct Digital Synthesis
(DDS) applications. Figure 25 shows how to interface an
HI5721 to the HSP45106.
Interfacing to the HSP45102 NCO-12
The HSP45102 is a 12-bit output Numerically Controlled
Oscillator (NCO). The HSP45102 can be used to generate
various modulation schemes for Direct Digital Synthesis
12
The 10 MSBs of the HSP45102 drive the 10-bit HI5721 DAC
which converts the NCO output into an analog waveform.
The output filter connected to the DAC can be tailored to
remove unwanted spurs for the desired carrier frequency.
The controller is used to load the desired center frequency
and control the HSP45102. The HI5721 coupled with the
HSP45102 make an inexpensive PSK modulator with
Spurious Free operation down to -76dBc.

Definition of Specifications
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.
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.
Feedthru is the measure of the undesirable switching noise
coupled to the output.
Output Voltage Full Scale Settling Time, is the time
required from the 50% point on the clock input for a full scale
step to settle within an 1/2 LSB error band.
13
Output Voltage Small Scale Settling Time, is the time
required from the 50% point on the clock input for a 100mV
step to settle within an 1/2 LSB error band. This is used by
applications reconstructing highly correlated signals such as
sine waves with more than 5 points per cycle.
Glitch Area, GE, is the switching transient appearing on the
output during a code transition. It is measured as the area
under the curve and expressed as a Volt-Time specification.
Differential Gain, ∆AV , is the gain error from an ideal sine
wave with a normalized amplitude.
Differential Phase, ∆Φ , is the phase error from and ideal
sine wave.

Signal to Noise Ratio, SNR, is the ratio of a fundamental to
the noise floor of the analog output. The first 5 harmonics
are ignored, and an output filter of 1/2 the clock frequency is
used to eliminate alias products.
Total Harmonic Distortion, THD, is the ratio of the DAC
output fundamental to the RMS sum of the harmonics. The
first 5 harmonics are included, and an output filter of 1/2 the
clock frequency is used to eliminate alias products.
Spurious Free Dynamic Range, SFDR, is the amplitude
difference from a fundamental to the largest harmonically or
non-harmonically related spur. A sine wave is loaded into
the D/A and the output filtered at 1/2 the clock frequency to
eliminate noise from clocking alias terms.
Intermodulation Distortion, IMD is the measure of the sum
and difference products produced when a two tone input is
driven into the D/A. The distortion products created will arise
at sum and difference frequencies of the two tones. IMD is
20 log (RMS of sum and difference distortion products)
IMD = -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------( RMS amplitude of the fundamental )
