and 196-Ball 12mmx12mm NFBGA (GREEN / PbFree)
The device includes features that simplify the design
of complex transmit architectures: 2x to 16x digital
interpolation filters with over 90dB of stop-band
attenuation simplify the data interface and
reconstruction filters. Independent complex mixers
allow flexible carrier placement. A high-performance
low jitter clock multiplier simplifies clocking of the
device without significant impact on the dynamic
range. The digital Quadrature Modulator Correction
(QMC) enables complete IQ compensation for gain,
offset, phase and group delay between channels in
direct up-conversion applications.
Digital data is input to the device through a 16-bit
LVDS data bus with on-chip termination. The device
includes a FIFO, data pattern checker and parity test
to ease the input interface. The interface also allows
full synchronization of multiple devices.
The device is characterized for operation over the
entire industrial temperature range of –40°C to 85°C
and is available in a very-small 88-pin 9x9mm WQFN
package or 196-ball 12x12mm NFBGA package.
Very low power, small size, superior crosstalk, high
dynamic range and features of the DAC3484 are an
ideal fit for systems with multiple transmit channels.

OSTR is required in Dual Sync Sources mode. In order to minimize the skew it is recommended to use the same clock distribution
device such as Texas Instruments CDCE62005 or LMK0480x family to provide the DACCLK and OSTR signals to all the DAC3484
devices in the system. Swap the polarity of the DACCLK outputs with respect to the OSTR ones to establish proper phase relationship.
SYNC is required to synchronize the PLL circuit in multiple devices. The SYNC signal must meet the timing relationship with respect to
the reference clock (DACCLKP/N) of the on-chip PLL circuit.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Serial Interface
The serial port of the DAC3484 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 DAC3484. It is compatible with most synchronous transfer formats and can be configured as
a 3 or 4 pin interface by sif4_ena in register config2. 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. The first frame byte
is the instruction cycle which identifies the following data transfer cycle as read or write as well as the 7-bit
address to be accessed. Table 1 indicates the function of each bit in the instruction cycle and is followed by a
detailed description of each bit. The data transfer cycle consists of two bytes.

Figure 51 shows the serial interface timing diagram for a DAC3484 read operation. SCLK is the serial interface
clock input to DAC3484. Serial data enable SDENB is an active low input to DAC3484. SDIO is serial data in
during the instruction cycle. In 3 pin configuration, SDIO is data out from the DAC3484 during the data transfer
cycle, while SDO is in a high-impedance state. In 4 pin configuration, SDO is data out from the DAC3484 during
the data transfer cycle. At the end of the data transfer, SDIO and SDO will output low on the final falling edge of
SCLK until the rising edge of SDENB when they will 3-state.

7.3.2 Data Interface
The DAC3484 has a 16-bit LVDS bus that accepts quad, 16-bit data either in word-wide or dual byte-wide
formats. The quad, 16-bit data can be input to the device using either a single-bus, 16-bit interface or a dual-bus,
8-bit interface. The selection between the two modes is done through 16bit_in in the config2 register. The LVDS
bus inputs in each mode are shown in Table 2.
Table 2. LVDS Bus Input Assignment
INPUT MODE
PINS
Word-wide
D[15..0] → Data for paths A, B, C
and D
Byte-wide
D[15..8] → Data for paths A and B
D[7..0] → Data for paths C and D
Data is sampled by the LVDS double data rate (DDR) clock DATACLK. Setup and hold requirements must be
met for proper sampling.
For both input bus modes, a sync signal, either FRAME or SYNC, can sync the FIFO read and/or write pointers.
In byte-wide mode the sync source is needed to establish the correct sample boundaries.
The sync signal, either FRAME or SYNC, can be either a pulse or a periodic signal where the sync period
corresponds to multiples of 8 samples. FRAME or SYNC is sampled by a rising edge in DATACLK. The pulsewidth t(FRAME_SYNC) needs to be at least equal to 1/2 of the DATACLK period.
For both input bus mode, the value in FRAME sampled by the next falling edge in DATACLK can be used as a
block parity value. This feature is enabled by setting frame_parity_ena in register config1 to 1b. Refer to Parity
Check Test section for more detail
7.3.2.1 Word-Wide Format
The single-bus, 16-bit interface is selected by setting 16bit_in to 1b in the config2 register. In this mode the 16-bit
data for channels A, B, C and D is input word-wide interleaved in the form A0, B0, C0, D0, A1… into the
D[15:0]P/N LVDS bus. Data into the DAC3484 is formatted according to the diagram shown in Figure 52 where
index 0 is the data LSB and index 15 is the data MSB.

7.3.3 Input FIFO
The DAC3484 includes a 4-channel, 16-bits wide, and 8-samples deep input FIFO which acts as an elastic
buffer. The purpose of the FIFO is to absorb any timing variations between the input data and the internal DAC
data rate clock such as the ones resulting from clock-to-data variations from the data source.

Figure 54. DAC3484 FIFO Block Diagram
Data is written to the device 16-bits at a time on the rising and falling edges of DATACLK. In order to form a
complete 64-bit wide sample (16-bit A-data, 16-bit B-data, 16-bit C-data, and 16-bit D-data) two DATACLK
periods are required. Each 64-bit wide sample is written into the FIFO at the address indicated by the write
pointer. Similarly, data from the FIFO is read by the FIFO Out Clock 64-bits at a time from the address indicated
by the read pointer. The FIFO Out Clock is generated internally from the DACCLK signal and its rate is equal to
DACCLK/Interpolation. Each time a FIFO write or FIFO read is done the corresponding pointer moves to the next
address.
The reset position for the FIFO read and write pointers is set by default to addresses 0 and 4 as shown in
Figure 54. This offset gives optimal margin within the FIFO. The default read pointer location can be set to
another value using fifo_offset(2:0) in register config9 (address 4 by default). Under normal conditions data is
written-to and read-from the FIFO at the same rate and consequently the write and read pointer gap remains
constant. If the FIFO write and read rates are different, the corresponding pointers will be cycling at different
speeds which could result in pointer collision. Under this condition the FIFO attempts to read and write data from
the same address at the same time which will result in errors and thus must be avoided.
The write pointer sync source is selected by syncsel_fifoin(3:0) in register config32. In most applications either
FRAME or SYNC are used to reset the write pointer. Unlike DATA, the sync signal is latched only on the rising
edges of DATACLK. A rising edge on the sync signal source causes the pointer to return to its original position.

SLAS749E – MARCH 2011 – REVISED NOVEMBER 2015
Similarly, the read pointer sync source is selected by syncsel_fifoout(3:0). The write pointer sync source can be
set to reset the read pointer as well. In this case, FIFO Out clock will recapture the write pointer sync signal to
reset the read pointer. This clock domain transfer (DATACLK to FIFO Out Clock) results in phase ambiguity of
the reset signal, and will create latency variation based on the capture edge of the FIFO Out Clock. Since the
reset signal also synchronizes the clock divider circuit for the FIFO Out Clock generation, the latency variation
also includes the capture edge of the DACCLK cycle in the clock divider stage. Ultimately, the variation in
capture edge of both the FIFO Out Clock and the DACCLK limits the precise control of the output timing latency.
The full latency control of the DAC will be difficult and is not recommended in this setup.
NOTE
For full latency control of the DAC, refer to the Dual Sync Source mode section of the data
sheet.
To alleviate this, the device offers the alternative of resetting the FIFO read pointer independently of the write
pointer by using the OSTR signal. The OSTR signal is sampled by DACCLK and must satisfy the timing
requirements in the specifications table. In order to minimize the skew it is recommended to use the same clock
distribution device such as Texas Instruments CDCE62005 or LMK0480x family to provide the DACCLK and
OSTR signals to all the DAC3484 devices in the system. Swapping the polarity of the DACCLK outputs with
respect to the OSTR ones establishes proper phase relationship.
The FIFO pointers reset procedure can be done periodically or only once during initialization as the pointers
automatically return to the initial position when the FIFO has been filled. To reset the FIFO periodically, it is
necessary to have the FRAME, SYNC, and OSTR signals to repeat at multiples of 8 FIFO samples. To disable
FIFO reset, set syncsel_fifoin(3:0) and syncsel_fifoout(3:0) to 0000b.
The frequency limitation for FRAME and SYNC signals are the following:
fsync = fDATACLK/(n x 16) where n = 1, 2, … for Word-Wide and Byte-Wide Mode
The frequency limitation for the OSTR signal is the following:
fOSTR = fDAC/(n x interpolation x 8) where n = 1, 2, …
The frequencies above are at maximum when n = 1. This is when the FRAME, SYNC, or OSTR have a rising
edge transition every 8 FIFO samples. The occurrence can be made less frequent by setting n > 1, for example,
every n × 8 FIFO samples.

pointer is reset using the LVDS FRAME or SYNC signal, and the FIFO read pointer is reset using the LVPECL
OSTR signal. This allows LVPECL OSTR signal to control the phase of the output for either a single chip or
multiple chips. Multiple devices can be fully synchronized in this mode.

7.3.4.2 Single Sync Source Mode
In Single Sync Source mode, the FIFO write and read pointers are reset from the same source, either LVDS
FRAME or LVDS SYNC signal. As described in the Input FIFO section, this mode has latency variations in both
the FIFO Out Clock and DAC Clock between the multiple DAC devices. Applications requiring exact output timing
control will need Dual Sync Sources mode instead of Single Sync Source Mode. A rising edge for FIFO and
clock divider sync is recommended. Periodic sync signal is not recommended due to non-deterministic latency of
the sync signal through the clock domain transfer.
7.3.4.3 Bypass Mode
In FIFO bypass mode, the FIFO block is not used. As a result the input data is handed off from the DATACLK to
the DACCLK domain without any compensation. In this mode the relationship between DATACLK and DACCLK
is critical and used as a synchronizing mechanism for the internal logic. Due to the this constraint this mode is
not recommended. The effects of bypassing the FIFO are the following:
• The FIFO pointers have no effect on the data path or handoff.
• The FIFO will not be able to pass the controls signals from the LVDS FRAME and LVDS SYNC to digital
circuits after the FIFO. These digital circuits mainly are quadrature modulation corrections circuits, complex
mixer circuits, and numerical controlled oscillator circuits.
7.3.5 Clocking Modes
The DAC3484 has a dual clock setup in which a DAC clock signal is used to clock the DAC cores and internal
digital logic and a separate DATA clock is used to clock the input LVDS receivers and FIFO input. The DAC3484
DAC clock signal can be sourced directly or generated through an on-chip low-jitter phase-locked loop (PLL).
In those applications requiring extremely low noise it is recommended to bypass the PLL and source the DAC
clock directly from a high-quality external clock to the DACCLK input. In most applications system clocking can
be simplified by using the on-chip PLL to generate the DAC core clock while still satisfying performance
requirements. In this case the DACCLK pins are used as the reference frequency input to the PLL.

7.3.5.1 PLL Bypass Mode
In PLL bypass mode a very high quality clock is sourced to the DACCLK inputs. This clock is used to directly
clock the DAC3484 DAC sample rate clock. This mode gives the device best performance and is recommended
for extremely demanding applications.
The bypass mode is selected by setting the following:
1. pll_ena bit in register config24 to 0b to bypass the PLL circuitry.
2. pll_sleep bit in register config26 to 1b to put the PLL and VCO into sleep mode.
7.3.5.2 PLL Mode
In this mode the clock at the DACCLK input functions as a reference clock source to the on-chip PLL. The onchip PLL will then multiply this reference clock to supply a higher frequency DAC sample rate clock. Figure 57
shows the block diagram of the PLL circuit.

The DAC3484 PLL mode is selected by setting the following:
1. pll_ena bit in register config24 to 1b to route to the PLL clock path.
2. pll_sleep bit in register config26 to 0b to enable the PLL and VCO.
The output frequency of the VCO is designed to be the in the range from 3.3GHz to 4.0GHz. The prescaler
value, pll_p(2:0) in register config24, should be chosen such that the product of the prescaler value and DAC
sample rate clock is within the VCO range. To maintain optimal PLL loop, the coarse tune bits, pll_vco(5:0) in
register config26, can adjust the center frequency of the VCO towards the product of the prescaler value and
DAC sample rate clock. Figure 58 shows a typical relationship between coarse tune bits and VCO center
frequency.

The N divider in the loop allows the PFD to operate at a lower frequency than the reference clock. Both M and N
dividers can keep the PFD frequency below 155 MHz for peak operation.
The overall divide ratio inside the loop is the product of the Pre-Scale and M dividers (P * M) and the following
guidelines should be followed:
• The overall divide ratio range is from 24 to 480
• When the overall divide ratio is less than 120, the internal loop filter can guarantee a stable loop
• When the overall divide ratio is greater than 120, an external loop filter or double charge pump is required to
ensure loop stability
The single- and double-charge-pump current option are selected by setting pll_cp in register config24 to 01b and
11b, respectively. When using the double-charge-pump setting, an external loop filter is not required. If an
external filter is required, the following filter should be connected to the LPF pin (A1 for RKD package and D12
for ZAY package):

R = 1 kΩ
C2 = 1 nF

Figure 59. Recommended External Loop Filter
The PLL generates an internal OSTR signal and does not require the external LVPECL OSTR signal. The OSTR
signal is buffered from the N-divider output in the PLL block, and the frequency of the signal is the same as the
PFD frequency. Therefore, using PLL with Dual Sync Sources mode would require the PFD frequency to be the
pre-defined OSTR frequency. This will allow the FIFO to be synced correctly by the internal OSTR.

7.3.6 FIR Filters
Figure 60 through Figure 63 show the magnitude spectrum response for the FIR0, FIR1, FIR2 and FIR3
interpolating filters where fIN is the input data rate to the FIR filter. Figure 64 to Figure 67 show the composite
filter response for 2x, 4x, 8x and 16x interpolation. The transition band for all interpolation settings is from 0.4 to
0.6 x fDATA (the input data rate to the device) with <0.001dB of pass-band ripple and >90dB stop-band
attenuation.
The DAC3484 also has a 9-tap inverse sinc filter (FIR4) that runs 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 sets 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 (Figure 68, red line). The inverse sinc filter response (Figure 68, blue line)
has the opposite frequency response from 0 to 0.4 x Fdac, resulting in the combined response (Figure 68, green
line). Between 0 to 0.4 x fDAC, the inverse sinc filter compensates the sample-and-hold roll-off with less than
0.03dB 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 back-off 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
(0dB). For example, if the signal input to FIR4 is at 0.25 x fDAC, the response of FIR4 is 0.9dB, and the signal
must be backed off from full scale by 0.9dB to avoid saturation. The gain function in the QMC blocks can be
used to reduce the amplitude of the input signal. The advantage of FIR4 having a positive gain at all frequencies
is that the user is then able to optimize the back-off of the signal based on its frequency.
The filter taps for all digital filters are listed in Table 6. Note that the loss of signal amplitude may result in lower
SNR due to decrease in signal amplitude.

The two FMIX blocks operate with independent Numerically Controlled Oscillators (NCOs) and enable flexible
frequency placement without imposing additional limitations in the signal bandwidth. The NCOs have 32-bit
frequency registers (phaseaddAB(31:0) and phaseaddCD(31:0)) and 16-bit phase registers (phaseoffsetAB(15:0)
and phaseoffsetCD(15:0)) that generate the sine and cosine terms for the complex mixing. The NCO block

With the complex mixer enabled, the two channels in the mixer path are treated as complex vectors of the form
IIN(t) + j QIN(t). The complex signal multiplier (shown in Figure 71) will multiply the complex channels with the sine
and cosine terms generated by the NCO. The resulting output, IOUT(t) + j QOUT(t), of the complex signal multiplier
is:
IOUT(t) = (IIN(t)cos(2πfNCOt + δ) – QIN(t)sin(2πfNCOt + δ)) × 2(mixer_gain – 1)
QOUT(t) = (IIN(t)sin(2πfNCOt + δ) + QIN(t)cos(2πfNCOt + δ)) × 2(mixer_gain – 1)
where t is the time since the last resetting of the NCO accumulator, δ is the phase offset value and mixer_gain is
either 0 or 1. δ is given by:
δ = 2π × phase_offsetAB/CD(15:0)/216
The mixer_gain option allows the output signals of the multiplier to reduce by half (6dB). See Mixer Gain section
for details.

7.3.7.2 Coarse Complex Mixer
In addition to the full complex mixer, the DAC3484 also has a coarse mixer block capable of shifting the input
signal spectrum by the fixed mixing frequencies ±n×fS/8. Using the coarse mixer instead of the full mixer lowers
power consumption.
The output of the fs/2, fs/4, and –fs/4 mixer block is:
IOUT(t) = I(t)cos(2πfCMIXt) – Q(t)sin(2πfCMIXt)
QOUT(t) = I(t)sin(2πfCMIXt) + Q(t)cos(2πfCMIXt)
Since the sine and the cosine terms are a function of fs/2, fs/4, or –fs/4 mixing frequencies, the possible resulting
value of the terms will only be 1, -1, or 0. The simplified mathematics allows the complex signal multiplier to be
bypassed in any one of the modes, thus mixer gain is not available. The fs/2, fs/4, and –fs/4 mixer blocks
performs mixing through negating and swapping of I/Q channel on certain sequence of samples. Table 7 shows
the algorithm used for those mixer blocks.

The fs/8 mixer can be enabled along with various combinations of fs/2, fs/4, and –fs/4 mixer. Since the fs/8 mixer
uses the complex signal multiplier block with fixed fs/8 sine and cosine term, the output of the multiplier is:
IOUT(t) = (IIN(t)cos(2πfNCOt + δ) – QIN(t)sin(2πfNCOt + δ)) × 2(mixer_gain – 1)

7.3.7.3 Mixer Gain
The maximum output amplitude out of the complex signal multiplier (i.e., FMIX mode or CMIX mode with fs/8
mixer enabled) occurs if IIN(t) and QIN(t) are simultaneously full scale amplitude and the sine and cosine
arguments are equal to 2π x fMIXt + δ (2N-1) x π/4, where N = 1, 2, 3, etc....

Max output occurs when both
sine and cosine are 0.707
M0221-01
Figure 72. Maximum Output of the Complex Signal Multiplier
With mixer_gain = 1 and both IIN(t) and QIN(t) are simultaneously full scale amplitude, the maximum output
possible out of the complex signal multiplier is 0.707 + 0.707 = 1.414 (or 3dB). This configuration can cause
clipping of the signal and should therefore be used with caution.
With mixer_gain = 0 in config2, the maximum output possible out of the complex signal multiplier is 0.5 x (0.707
+ 0.707) = 0.707 (or -3dB). 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 3dB to compensate.

The mixer in the DAC34H84 treats the A, B, C, and D inputs are complex input data and produces a complex
output for most mixing frequencies. The real input data for each channel can be isolated only when the mixing
frequency is set to normal mode or fs/2 mode. Refer to Table 7 for details.
7.3.8 Quadrature Modulation Correction (QMC)
7.3.8.1 Gain and Phase Correction
The DAC3484 includes a Quadrature Modulator Correction (QMC) block. The QMC blocks provide a mean for
changing the gain and phase of the complex signals to compensate for any I and Q imbalances present in an
analog quadrature modulator. The block diagram for the QMC block is shown in Figure 73. The QMC block
contains 3 programmable parameters.
Register qmc_gainA/B(10:0) and qmc_gainC/D(10:0) controls the I and Q path gains and is an 11-bit unsigned
value with a range of 0 to 1.9990 and the default gain is 1.0000. The implied decimal point for the multiplication
is between bit 9 and bit 10.
Register qmc_phaseAB/CD(11:0) control the phase imbalance between I and Q and is a 12-bit values with a
range of –0.5 to approximately 0.49975. The QMC phase term is not a direct phase rotation but a constant that is
multiplied by each "Q" sample then summed into the "I" sample path. This is an approximation of a true phase
rotation in order to keep the implementation simple. The corresponding phase rotation corresponds to
approximately +26.5 to –26.5 degrees in 4096 steps.
LO feed-through can be minimized by adjusting the DAC offset feature described below.

7.3.8.2 Offset Correction
Registers qmc_offsetA(12:0), qmc_offsetB(12:0), qmc_offsetC(12:0) and qmc_offsetD(12:0) can be used to
independently adjust the DC offsets of each channel. The 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.

7.3.8.3 Group Delay Correction
A complex transmitter system typically is consisted of DACs, reconstruction filter network, and I/Q modulator.
Besides the gain and phase mismatch contribution, there could also be timing mismatch contribution from each
components. For instance, the timing mismatch could come from the PCB trace length variation between the I
and Q channels and the group delay variation from the reconstruction filter.
This timing mismatch in the complex transmitter system creates phase mismatch that varies linearly with respect
to frequency. To compensate for the I/Q imbalances due to this mismatch, the DAC3484 has group delay
correction block for each DAC channel. Each DAC channel can adjust its delay through grp_delayA(7:0),
grp_delayB(7:0), grp_delayC(7:0), and grp_delayD(7:0) in register config46 and config47. The group delay
correction, along with gain/phase correction, can be useful for correcting imbalances in wide-band transmitter
system. The maximum delay ranges from 30 ps to 100 ps and is dependent on DAC sample clock. Contact TI for
specific application information.
7.3.9 Temperature Sensor
The DAC3484 incorporates a temperature sensor block which monitors the temperature by measuring the
voltage across 2 transistors. The voltage is converted to an 8-bit digital word using a successive-approximation
(SAR) analog to digital conversion process. The result is scaled, limited and formatted as a twos complement
value representing the temperature in degrees Celsius.

The sampling is controlled by the serial interface signals SDENB and SCLK. If the temperature sensor is enabled
(tsense_sleep = 0b in register config26) a conversion takes place each time the serial port is written or read. The
data is only read and sent out by the digital block when the temperature sensor is read in tempdata(7:0) in
config6. The conversion uses the first eight clocks of the serial clock as the capture and conversion clock, the
data is valid on the falling eighth SCLK. The data is then clocked out of the chip on the rising edge of the ninth
SCLK. No other clocks to the chip are necessary for the temperature sensor operation. As a result the
temperature sensor is enabled even when the device is in sleep mode.
In order for the process described above to operate properly, the serial port read from config6 must be done with
an SCLK period of at least 1 μs. If this is not satisfied the temperature sensor accuracy is greatly reduced.
7.3.10 Data Pattern Checker
The DAC3484 incorporates a simple pattern checker test in order to determine errors in the data interface. The
main cause of failures is setup/hold timing issues. The test mode is enabled by asserting iotest_ena in register
config1. In test mode the analog outputs are deactivated regardless of the state of TXENABLE or sif_texnable in
register config3.
The data pattern key used for the test is 8 words long and is specified by the contents of iotest_pattern[0:7] in
registers config37 through config44. The data pattern key can be modified by changing the contents of these
registers.
The first word in the test frame is determined by a rising edge transition in FRAME or SYNC, depending on the
syncsel_fifoin(4:0) setting in config32. At this transition, the pattern0 word should be input to the data pins.
Patterns 1 through 7 should follow sequentially on each edge of DATACLK (rising and falling). The sequence
should be repeated until the pattern checker test is disabled by setting iotest_ena back to 0b. It is not necessary
to have a rising FRAME or SYNC edge aligned with every pattern0 word, just the first one to mark the beginning
of the series.

Figure 75. IO Pattern Checker Data Transmission Format
The test mode determines if the 16-bit LVDS data D[15:0]P/N of all the patterns were received correctly by
comparing the received data against the data pattern key. If any of the 16-bit data D[15:0]P/N were received
incorrectly, the corresponding bits in iotest_results(15:0) in register config4 will be set to 1b to indicate bit error
location. Furthermore, the error condition will trigger the alarm_from_iotest bit in register config5 to indicate a
general error in the data interface. When data pattern checker mode is enabled, this alarm in register config5, bit
7 is the only valid alarm. Other alarms in register config5 are not valid and can be disregarded.
For instance, pattern0 is programmed to the default of 0x7A7A. If the received Pattern 0 is 0x7A7B, then bit 0 in
iotest_results(15:0) will be set to 1b to indicate an error in bit 0 location. The alarm_from_iotest will also be set to
1b to report the data transfer error. The user can then narrow down the error from the bit location information and
implement the fix accordingly.

The alarms can be cleared by writing 0x0000 to iotest_results(15:0) and 0b to alarm_from_iotest through the
serial interface. The serial interface will read back 0s if there are no errors or if the errors are cleared. The
corresponding alarm bit will remain a 1b if the errors remain.
It is recommended to enable the pattern checker and then run the pattern sequence for 100 or more complete
cycles before clearing the iotest_results(15:0) and alarm_from_iotest. This will eliminate the possibility of false
alarms generated during the setup sequence.
Based on the pattern test result, the user can adjust the data source output timing, PCB traces delay, or
DAC3484 CONFIG36 LVDS Programmable delay to help optimize the setup and hold time of the transmitter
system.

7.3.11 Parity Check Test
The DAC3484 has a parity check test that enables continuous validity monitoring of the data received by the
DAC. Parity check testing in combination with the data pattern checker offer an excellent solution for detecting
board assembly issues due to missing pad connections.
For the parity check test, an extra parity bit is added to the data bits to ensure that the total number of set bits
(bits with value 1) is even or odd. This simple scheme is used to detect single or any other odd number of data
transfer errors. Parity testing is implemented in the DAC3484 in two ways: word-by-word parity and block parity.
7.3.11.1 Word-by-Word Parity
Word-by-word parity is the easiest mode to implement. In this mode the additional parity bit is sourced to the
parity input (PARITYP/N) for each data word transfer into the D[15:0]P/N inputs. This mode is enabled by setting
the word_parity_ena bit. The input parity value is defined to be the total number of logic 1s on the 17-bit data
bus, the D[15:0]P/N inputs and the PARITYP/N input. This value, the total number of logic 1s, must match the
parity test selected in the oddeven_parity bit in register config1.
For example, if the oddeven_parity bit is set to 1b for odd parity, then the number of 1s on the 17-bit data bus
should be odd. The DAC will check the data transfer through the parity input. If the data received has odd
number of 1s, then the parity is correct. If the data received has even number of 1s, then the parity is incorrect.
The corresponding alarm for parity error will be set accordingly.
Figure 77 shows the simple XOR structure used to check word parity. Parity is tested independently for data
captured on both rising and falling edges of DATACLK (alarm_rparity and alarm_fparity, respectively). Testing on
both edges helps in determining a possible setup/hold issue. Both alarms are captured individually in register
config5.

7.3.11.2 Block Parity
The block parity method uses the FRAME signal to determine the boundaries of the data block to compute parity.
This mode is enabled by setting the frame_parity_ena bit in register config1.
A low-to-high transition of FRAME captured with the DATACLK rising edge determines the end point of the parity
block and the beginning of the next one. In this method the parity bit of the completed block corresponds to the
FRAME value captured on the DATACLK falling edge right after the STOP/START point.
The input parity value is defined to be the total number of logic 1s in the data block. A logic HIGH captured on
the falling edge of DATACLK indicates odd parity or odd number of logic 1s, while a logic LOW indicates even
parity or even number of logic 1s. If the expected parity does not match the number of logic 1s in the received
data, then alarm_frame_parity in register config5 will be set to 1b. The main advantage of the block parity mode
is that there is no need for an additional parity LVDS input.
Since the FRAME signal is used for parity testing in addition to FIFO syncing and frame boundary assignment it
is mandatory to take some extra steps to avoid device malfunction. If FRAME is used to reset the FIFO pointers
continuously, the block size must be a multiple of 8 samples (each sample corresponding to 16-bits A, B, C and
D data). In addition since FRAME is used to establish the frame boundary, the parity block must be aligned with
the data frame boundaries.

7.3.12 DAC3484 Alarm Monitoring
The DAC3484 includes a flexible set of alarm monitoring that can be used to alert of a possible malfunction
scenario. All the alarm events can be accessed either through the config5 register or through the ALARM pin.
Once an alarm is set, the corresponding alarm bit in register config5 must be reset through the serial interface to
allow further testing. The set of alarms includes the following conditions:
Zero check alarm
• Alarm_from_zerochk. Occurs when the FIFO write pointer has an all zeros pattern. Since the write pointer is a
shift register, all zeros will cause the input pointer to be stuck until the next sync event. When this happens a
sync to the FIFO block is required.
FIFO alarms
• alarm_from_fifo. Occurs when there is a collision in the FIFO pointers or a collision event is close.
– alarm_fifo_2away. Pointers are within two addresses of each other.
– alarm_fifo_1away. Pointers are within one address of each other.
– alarm_fifo_collision. Pointers are equal to each other.
Clock alarms
• clock_gone. Occurs when either the DACCLK or DATACLOCK have been stopped.
– alarm_dacclk_gone. Occurs when the DACCLK has been stopped.
– alarm_dataclk_gone. Occurs when the DATACLK has been stopped.
Pattern checker alarm
• alarm_from_iotest. Occurs when the input data pattern does not match the pattern key.
PLL alarm
• alarm_from_pll. Occurs when the PLL is out of lock.
Parity alarms
• alarm_rparity. Occurs when there is a parity error in the data captured by the rising edge of DATACLKP/N.
The PARITYP/N input is the parity bit (word-by-word parity test).
• alarm_fparity. Occurs when there is a parity error in the data captured by the falling edge of DATACLKP/N.
The PARITYP/N input is the parity bit (word-by-word parity test).
• alarm_frame_parity_err. Occurs when there is a frame parity error when using the FRAME as the parity bit
(block parity test).

SLAS749E – MARCH 2011 – REVISED NOVEMBER 2015
To prevent unexpected DAC outputs from propagating into the transmit channel chain, the clock and alarm_
fifo_collision alarms can be set in config2 to shut-off the DAC output automatically regardless of the state of
TXENABLE or sif_txenable.
Alarm monitoring is implemented as follows:
• Power up the device using the recommended power-up sequence.
• Clear all the alarms in config5 by setting them to 0.
• Unmask those alarms that will generate a hardware interrupt through the ALARM pin in config7.
• Enable automatic DAC shut-off in register config2 if required.
• In the case of an alarm event, the ALARM pin will trigger. If automatic DAC shut-off has been enabled the
DAC outputs will be disabled.
• Read registers config5 to determine which alarm triggered the ALARM pin.
• Correct the error condition and re-synchronize the FIFO.
• Clear the alarms in config5.
• Re-read config5 to ensure the alarm event has been corrected.
• Keep clearing and reading config5 until no error is reported.
For details of alarm monitoring function and behavior, refer to SLAA585.

7.3.15 Unused LVDS Port Termination
Depending on the DAC3484 functionality required, additional unused LVDS ports such as FRAMEP/N,
SYNCP/N, or PARITYP/N can be left unconnected (floating) or connected to a nominal, differential LVDS active
HIGH or active LOW voltage. The usage of these ports depends mainly on the FIFO synchronization settings and
parity checking settings. The unused FRAMEP/N, SYNCP/N, or PARITYP/N ports can be connected in parallel
with the unused LVDS data port with adjustments to the RSET resistor value.
The following example allows the termination of the unused LVDS ports to a known logic HIGH value. As shown
in Figure 83, The design involves the connection to the DIGVDD rail and one RSET resistor to bias the positive
terminals of unused LVDS ports to be 1.2 V and negative terminals of unused LVDS ports to 1.0 V. The design
keeps the minimum common mode input voltage of the LVDS input to be above 1.0 V, and keeps the differential
LVDS voltage to be 200 mV. Since the design expects the differential voltage on the unused ports to be static,
the differential LVDS voltage can be as low as 100 mV to maintain a logic HIGH. Refer to Electrical
Characteristic – Digital Specifications Table for detail of LVDS Input requirements.

3. The REQ value is the equivalent, parallel resistance of the on-chip termination for all the unused LVDS ports.
With the SYNC and PARITY ports unused, the REQ is two parallel ZT. Worst case ZT value of 135 Ω is used
in the design to account for the lowest possible current IEQ and the worst case common mode on the
negative LVDS terminals. Another analysis will be performed with ZT value of 85 Ω for worst case differential
LVDS voltages.

7.3.17 Reference Operation
The DAC3484 uses a bandgap reference and control amplifier for biasing the full-scale output current. The fullscale 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 64 times this bias current and can thus be expressed as:
IOUTFS = 64 x IBIAS = 64 x (VEXTIO / RBIAS ) / 2
The DAC3484 has a 4-bit coarse gain control coarse_dac(3:0) in the config3 register. Using gain control, the
IOUTFS can be expressed as:
IOUTFS = (coarse_dac + 1)/16 x IBIAS x 64 = (coarse_dac + 1)/16 x (VEXTIO / RBIAS) / 2 x 64
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 extref_ena = 0b in config27. An external decoupling capacitor CEXT of 0.1 µF
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 setting the extref_ena control bit. 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 30 mA down to 10 mA by varying resistor RBIAS or changing
the externally applied reference voltage.

NOTE
With internal reference, the minimum Rbias resistor value is 1.28 kΩ. Resistor value below
1.28 kΩ is not recommended since it will program the full-scale current to go above 30mA
and potentially damages the device.
7.3.18 DAC Transfer Function
The CMOS DACs consist of a segmented array of PMOS current sources, capable of sourcing a full-scale output
current up to 30 mA. Differential current switches direct the current to either one of the complementary output
nodes IOUTP or IOUTN. 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 64 times IBIAS.
The relation between IOUTP and IOUTN can be expressed as:
IOUTFS = IOUTP + IOUTN
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 source the current flows from the IOUTP and IOUTN pins. The output current flow in
each pin driving a resistive load can be expressed as:
IOUTP = IOUTFS x CODE / 65536
IOUTN = IOUTFS x (65535 – CODE) / 65536
where CODE is the decimal representation of the DAC data input word
For the case where IOUTP and IOUTN drive resistor loads RL directly, this translates into single ended voltages
at IOUTP and IOUTN:
VOUTP = IOUT1 x RL
VOUTN = IOUT2 x RL
Assuming that the data is full scale (65535 in offset binary notation) and the RL is 25 Ω, the differential voltage
between pins IOUTP and IOUTN can be expressed as:
VOUTP = 20mA x 25 Ω = 0.5 V
VOUTN = 0mA x 25 Ω = 0 V
VDIFF = VOUTP – VOUTN = 0.5V
Note that care should be taken not to exceed the compliance voltages at node IOUTP and IOUTN, which would
lead to increased signal distortion.
7.3.19 Analog Current Outputs
The DAC3484 can be easily configured to drive a doubly terminated 50-Ω cable using a properly selected RF
transformer. Figure 85 and Figure 86 show the 50-Ω 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 grounded
to enable a DC current flow. Applying a 20-mA 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 IOUTP or IOUTN and the
transformer center tap sets the center of the ac-signal to GND, so the 1 Vpp output for the 4:1 transformer
results in an output between –0.5 V and 0.5 V.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Multi-Device Synchronization
In various applications, such as multi antenna systems where the various transmit channels information is
correlated, it is required that multiple DAC devices are completely synchronized such that their outputs are phase
aligned. The DAC3484 architecture supports this mode of operation.
7.4.1.1 Multi-Device Synchronization: PLL Bypassed with Dual Sync Sources Mode
For single or multi-device synchronization it is important that delay differences in the data are absorbed by the
device so that latency through the device remains the same. Furthermore, to guarantee that the outputs from
each DAC are phase aligned it is necessary that data is read from the FIFO of each device simultaneously. In
the DAC3484 this is accomplished by operating the multiple devices in Dual Sync Sources mode. In this mode
the additional OSTR signal is required by each DAC3484 to be synchronized.
Data into the device is input as LVDS signals from one or multiple baseband ASICs or FPGAs. Data into the
multiple DAC devices can experience different delays due to variations in the digital source output paths or board
level wiring. These different delays can be effectively absorbed by the DAC3484 FIFO so that all outputs are
phase aligned correctly.

Figure 87. SynchronizationSystem in Dual Sync Sources Mode with PLL Bypassed
For correct operation both OSTR and DACCLK must be generated from the same clock domain. The OSTR
signal is sampled by DACCLK and must satisfy the timing requirements in the specifications table. If the clock
generator does not have the ability to delay the DACCLK to meet the OSTR timing requirement, the polarity of
the DACCLK outputs can be swapped with respect to the OSTR ones to create 180 degree phase delay of the
DACCLK. This may help establish proper setup and hold time requirement of the OSTR signal.
Careful board layout planning must be done to ensure that the DACCLK and OSTR signals are distributed from
device to device with the lowest skew possible as this will affect the synchronization process. In order to
minimize the skew across devices it is recommended to use the same clock distribution device to provide the
DACCLK and OSTR signals to all the DAC devices in the system.

Figure 88. Timing Diagram for LVPECL Synchronization Signals
The following steps are required to ensure the devices are fully synchronized. The procedure assumes all the
DAC3484 devices have a DACCLK and OSTR signal and must be carried out on each device.
1. Start-up the device as described in the power-up sequence. Set the DAC3484 in Dual Sync Sources mode
and select OSTR as the clock divider sync source (clkdiv_sync_sel in register config32).
2. Sync the clock divider and FIFO pointers.
3. Verify there are no FIFO alarms either through register config5 or through the ALARM pin.
4. Disable clock divider sync by setting clkdiv_sync_ena to 0b in register config0.
After these steps all the DAC3484 outputs will be synchronized.
7.4.1.2 Multi-Device Synchronization: PLL Enabled with Dual Sync Sources Mode
The DAC3484 allows exact phase alignment between multiple devices even when operating with the internal PLL
clock multiplier. In PLL clock mode, the PLL generates the DAC clock and an internal OSTR signal from the
reference clock applied to the DACCLK inputs so there is no need to supply an additional LVPECL OSTR signal.
For this method to operate properly the SYNC signal should be set to reset the PLL N dividers to a known state
by setting pll_ndivsync_ena in register config24 to 1b. The SYNC signal resets the PLL N dividers with a rising
edge, and the timing relationship ts(SYNC_PLL) and th(SYNC_PLL) are relative to the reference clock presented on the
DACCLK pin.
Both SYNC and DACCLK can be set as low frequency signals to greatly simplifying trace routing (SYNC can be
just a pulse as a single rising edge is required, if using a periodic signal it is recommended to clear the
pll_ndivsync_ena bit after resetting the PLL dividers). Besides the ts(SYNC_PLL) and th(SYNC_PLL) requirement
between SYNC and DACCLK, there is no additional required timing relationship between the SYNC and FRAME
signals or between DACCLK and DATACLK. The only restriction as in the PLL disabled case is that the DACCLK
and SYNC signals are distributed from device to device with the lowest skew possible.

Figure 89. Synchronization System in Dual Sync Sources Mode with PLL Enabled
The following steps are required to ensure the devices are fully synchronized. The procedure assumes all the
DAC3484 devices have a DACCLK and SYNC signal and the following steps must be carried out on each
device.
1. Start-up the device as described in the power-up sequence. Set the DAC3484 in Dual Sync Sources mode
and enable SYNC to reset the PLL dividers (set pll_ndivsync_ena in register config24 to 1b).
2. Reset the PLL dividers with a rising edge on SYNC.
3. Disable PLL dividers resetting.
4. Sync the clock divider and FIFO pointers.
5. Verify there are no FIFO alarms either through register config5 or through the ALARM pin.
6. Disable clock divider sync by setting clkdiv_sync_ena to 0b in register config0.
After these steps all the DAC3484 outputs will be synchronized.
7.4.1.3 Multi-Device Operation: Single Sync Source Mode
In Single Sync Source mode the FIFO read pointer reset is handoff between the two clock domains (DATACLK
and FIFO OUT CLOCK) by simply re-sampling the write pointer reset. Since the two clocks are asynchronous
there is a small but distinct possibility of a meta-stability during the pointer handoff. As described in the Input
FIFO section, this meta-stable situation can change the latency of the multiple DAC devices by both the FIFO
Out clock cycles and DAC clock cycles.
When the PLL is enabled with Single Sync Source mode, the FIFO read pointer is not synchronized by the
OSTR signal. Therefore, there is no restriction on the PLL PFD frequency as described in the previous section.

7.5 Programming
7.5.1 Power-Up Sequence
The following startup sequence is recommended to power-up the DAC3484:
1. Set TXENABLE low
2. Supply all 1.2-V voltages (DACVDD, DIGVDD, CLKVDD, and VFUSE) and all 3.3-V voltages (AVDD,
IOVDD, and PLLAVDD). The 1.2-V and 3.3-V supplies can be powered up simultaneously or in any order.
There are no specific requirements on the ramp rate for the supplies.
3. Provide all LVPECL inputs: DACCLKP/N and the optional OSTRP/N. These inputs can also be provided after
the SIF register programming.
4. Toggle the RESETB pin for a minimum 25 ns active low pulse width.
5. Program the SIF registers.
6. Program fuse_sleep (config27, bit<11>) to put the internal fuses to sleep. To enable dual channel mode, set
Config1, bit <8> to 0b and Config16, bit<13:12> to 11b. This dual channel mode is functionally equivalent to
the dual channel DAC3484 (channels B and C active). See the DAC3484 SLAS748 datasheet for details.
7. FIFO configuration needed for synchronization:
(a) Program syncsel_fifoin(3:0) (config32, bits<15:12>) to select the FIFO input pointer sync source.
(b) Program syncsel_fifoout(3:0) (config32, bits<11:8>) to select the FIFO output pointer sync source.
(c) Program syncsel_dataformatter(1:0) (config31, bits<3:2>) to select the FIFO Data Formatter sync source.
8. Clock divider configuration needed for synchronization:
(a) Program clkdiv_sync_sel (config32, bit<0>) to select the clock divider sync source.
(b) Program clkdiv_sync_ena (config0, bit<2>) to 1b to enable clock divider sync.
(c) For multi-DAC synchronization in PLL mode, program pll_ndivsync_ena (config24, bit<11>) to 1b to
synchronize the PLL N-divider.
9. Provide all LVDS inputs (D[15:0]P/N, DATACLKP/N, FRAMEP/N, SYNCP/N, and PARITYP/N)
simultaneously. Synchronize the FIFO and clock divider by providing the pulse or periodic signals needed.
(a) For Single Sync Source Mode where either FRAMEP/N or SYNCP/N is used to sync the FIFO, a single
rising edge for FIFO, FIFO data formatter, and clock divider sync is recommended. Periodic sync signal

is not recommended due to the non-deterministic latency of the sync signal through the clock domain
transfer.
(b) For Dual Sync Sources Mode, both single pulse or periodic sync signals can be used.
(c) For multi-DAC synchronization in PLL mode, the LVDS SYNCP/N signal is used to sync the PLL Ndivider and can be sourced from either the FPGA/ASIC pattern generator or clock distribution circuit as
long as the t(SYNC_PLL) setup and hold timing requirement is met with respect to the reference clock
source at DACCLKP/N pins. The LVDS SYNCP/N signal can be provided at this point.
10. FIFO and clock divider configurations after all the sync signals have provided the initial sync pulses needed
for synchronization:
(a) For Single Sync Source Mode where the clock divider sync source is either FRAMEP/N or SYNCP/N,
clock divider syncing may be disabled after DAC3484 initialization and before the data transmission by
setting clkdiv_sync_ena (config0, bit <2>) to 0b. This is to prevent accidental syncing of the clock divider
when sending FRAMEP/N or SYNCP/N pulse to other digital blocks.
(b) For Dual Sync Sources Mode, where the clock divider sync source is from the OSTR signal (either from
external OSTRP/N or internal PLL N divider output), the clock divider syncing may be enabled at all time.
(c) Optionally, to prevent accidental syncing of the FIFO and FIFO data formatter when sending the
FRAMEP/N or SYNCP/N pulse to other digital blocks such as NCO, QMC, etc, disable FIFO syncing by
setting syncsel_fifoin(3:0) and syncsel_fifoout(3:0) to 0000b after the FIFO input and output pointers are
initialized. Also Disable the FIFO data formatter by setting syncsel_dataformatter(1:0) to 10b or 11b. If
the FIFO and FIFO data formatter sync remain enabled after initialization, the FRAMEP/N or SYNCP/N
pulse must occur in ways to not disturb the FIFO operation. Refer to the INPUT FIFO section for detail.
(d) Disable PLL N-divider syncing by setting pll_ndivsync_ena (config24, bit<11>) to 0b.
11. Enable transmit of data by asserting the TXENABLE pin or set sif_txenable to 1b.
12. At any time, if any of the clocks (i.e DATACLK or DACCLK) is lost or a FIFO collision alarm is detected, a
complete resynchronization of the DAC is necessary. Set TXENABLE low and repeat steps 7 through 11.
Program the FIFO configuration and clock divider configuration per steps 7 and 8 appropriately to accept the
new sync pulse or pulses for the synchronization.

alarm_from_zerochk
This alarm indicates the 8-bit FIFO write pointer address has an all
zeros patterns. Due to pointer address being a shift register, this is
not a valid address and will cause the write pointer to be stuck until
the next sync. This error is typically caused by timing error or
improper power start-up sequence. If this alarm is asserted,
resynchronization of FIFO is necessary. See Power-Up Sequence
for more detail.

alarm_output_gone
Alarm indicating either alarm_dacclk_gone, alarm_dataclk_gone, or
alarm_fifo_collision are asserted. It controls the output. When high it
will output 0x8000 for each output connected to the DAC. If the bit is
set when dacclkgone_ena, dataclkgone_ena, or collisiongone_ena
are enabled, then the corresponding errors must be fixed and the
bits must be cleared to resume normal operation.

default phase correction of 0.00. To accomplish QMC phase correction, this value is
multiplied by the current B sample, then summed into the A sample. If enabled in
config30 writing to this register causes an auto-sync to be generated. This
loads the values of the QMC correction registers (config12, config13, and

8 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The DAC3484 is a quad 16-bit DAC with max input data rate of up to 312.5 MSPS per DAC and max DAC
update rate of 1.25 GSPS after the final, selectable interpolation stages. With build-in interpolation filter of 2x, 4x,
8x, and 16x options, the lower input data rate can be interpolated all the way to 1.25 GSPS. This allows the DAC
to update the samples at higher rate, and pushes the DAC images further away to relax anti-image filer
specification due to the increased Nyquist bandwidth. With integrated coarse and fine mixers, baseband signal
can be upconverted to an intermediate frequency (IF) signal between the baseband processor and post-DAC
analog signal chains.
The DAC can output baseband or IF when connected to post-DAC analog signals chain components such as
transformers or IF amplifiers. When used in conjunction with TI RF quadrature modulator such as the TRF3705,
the DAC and RF modulator can function as a set of baseband or IF upconverter. With integrated QMC circuits,
the LO offset and the sideband artifacts can be properly corrected in the direct up-conversion applications. The
DAC3484 provides the bandwidth, performance, small footprint, and lower power consumption needed for multimode 2G/3G/4G cellular base stations to migrate to more advanced technologies, such as LTE-Advanced and
carrier aggregation on multiple antennas.

8.2 Typical Applications
8.2.1 IF Based LTE Transmitter
Figure 91 shows an example block diagram for a direct conversion radio. The design requires a single carrier,
20-MHz LTE signal. The system has digital-predication (DPD) to correct up to 5th order distortion so the total
DAC output bandwidth is 100 MHz. Interpolation is used to output the signal at highest sampling rate possible to
simplify the analog filter requirements and move high order harmonics out of band (due to wider Nyquist zone).
The internal PLL is used to generate the final DAC output clock from a reference clock of 491.52 MHz.

8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.1.2.1 Data Input Rate
Nyquist theory states that the data rate must be at least two times the highest signal frequency. The data will be
sent to the DAC as complex baseband data. Due to the quadrature nature of the signal, each in-phase (I
component) and quadrature (Q component) need to have 50 MHz of bandwidth to construct 100 MHz of complex
bandwidth. Since the interpolation filter design is not the ideal half-band filter design with infinite roll-off at
FDATA/2 (refer to FIR Filters section for more detail), the filter limits the useable input bandwidth to about 40
percent of FDATA. Therefore, the minimum data input rate is 125 MSPS. Since the standard telecom data rate is
typically multiples of 30.72 MSPS, the DAC input data rate is chosen to be eight times of 30.72 MSPS, which is
245.76 MSPS.
8.2.1.2.2 Interpolation
It is desired to use the highest DAC output rate as possible to move the DAC images further from the signal of
interest to ease analog filter requirement. The DAC output rate must be greater than two times the highest output
frequency of 200 MHz, which is greater than 400 MHz. Table 63 shows the possible DAC output rates based on
the data input rate and available interpolation settings. The DAC image frequency is also listed.

8.2.1.2.3 LO Feedthrough and Sideband Correction
For typical IF based systems, the IF location is selected such that the image location and the LO feedthrough
location is far from the signal location. The minimum distance is based on the bandpass filter roll-off and
attenuation level at the LO feedthrough and image location. If sufficient attenuation level of these two artifacts
meets the system requirement, then further digital cancellation of these artifacts may not be needed.
Although the I/Q modulation process will inherently reduce the level of the RF sideband signal, an IF based
transmitter without sufficient RF image rejection capabilities or an zero-IF based system (detail in the next
section) will likely need additional sideband suppression to maximize performance. Further, any mixing process
will result in some feedthrough of the LO source. The DAC3484 has build-in digital features to cancel both the
LO feedthrough and sideband signal. The LO feedthrough is corrected by adding a DC offset to the DAC outputs
until the LO feedthrough power is suppressed. The sideband suppression can be improved by correcting the gain
and phase differences between the I and Q analog outputs through the digital QMC block. Besides gain and
phase differences between the I and Q analog outputs, group delay differences may also be present in the signal
path and are typically contributed by group delay variations of post DAC image reject analog filters and PCB
trace variations. Since delay in time translates to higher order linear phase variation, the sideband of a wideband
system may not be completely suppressed by typical digital QMC block. The DAC3484 has integrated group
delay correction feature to provide delay adjustments. (The maximum group delay correction ranges from 30 ps
to 100 ps and is dependent on DAC sample clock. Contact TI for specific application information.) Moreover,
system designer may implement additional linear group delay compensation in the host processor to the DAC to
perform higher order sideband suppression.

Analog Output
As shown in Figure 99, the DAC3484 device has various power rails and has two primary voltages of 1.2 V and
3.3 V. Some of the DAC power rails such as CLKVDD and AVDD are more noise sensitive than other rails
because they are mainly powering the switch drivers for the current switch array and the current bias circuits,
respectively. These circuits are the main analog DAC core. Any power supply noises such as switching power
supply ripple may be modulated directly onto the signal of interest. These two power rails should be powered by
low noise power supplies such as LDO. Powering the rail directly with switching power supplies is not
recommended for these two rails.

Figure 99. Interpolation Filters, NCOs, and QMC Blocks Powered by DIGVDD
With the DAC3484 being a mixed signal device, the device contains circuits that bridges the digital section and
the analog section. The DACVDD powers these sections. System designer can design this rail in secondary
priority. Powering the rail with LDO is recommended. Unless system designer pays special care to supply filtering
and power supply routing/placement, powering the rail directly with switching power supplies is not
recommended for this rail.
Since digital circuits have more inherent noise immunity than analog circuits, the power supply noise
requirements for DIGVDD of the digital section of the device may be relaxed and placed at a lower priority.
Depending on the spur level requirement, routing and placement of the power supply, power the rail directly with
switching power supplies can be possible. With the digital logics running, the DIGVDD rail may draw significant
current. If the power supply traces and filtering network have significant DC resistance loss (for example, DCR),
then the final supply voltage seen by the DIGVDD rail may not be sufficient to meet the minimum power supply
level. For instance, with 450 mA of DIGVDD current and about 0.1 Ω of DCR from the ferrite bead, the final
supply voltage at the DIGVDD pins may be 1.2 V – 0.045 V = 1.155 V. This is fairly close to the minimum supply
voltage range of 1.14 V. System designer may need to elevate the power supply voltage according to the DCR
level or design a feedback network for the power supply to account for associated voltage drop. To ensure power
supply accuracy and to account for power supply filter network loss at operating conditions, the use of the
ATEST function in register config27 to check the internal power supply nodes is recommended.
The table below is a summary of the various power supply nodes of the DAC. Care should be taken to keep
clean power supplies routing away from noisy digital supplies. It is recommended to use at least two power
layers. Power supplies for digital circuits tend to have more switching activities and are typically noisier, and
system designer should avoid sharing the digital power rail (for example, power supplies for FPGA or DIGVDD of
DAC3484) with the analog power rail (for example, CLKVDD and AVDD of DAC3484). Avoid placing noisy
supplies and clean supplies on adjacent board layers and use a ground layer between these two supplies if
possible. All supply pins should be decoupled as close to the pins as possible by using small value capacitors,
with larger bulk capacitors placed further away and near the power supply source.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
The design of the PCB is critical to achieve the full performance of the DAC3484 device. Defining the PCB
stackup should be the first step in the board design. Experience has shown that at least six layers are required to
adequately route all required signals to and from the device. Each signal routing layer must have an adjacent
solid ground plane to control signal return paths to have minimal loop areas and to achieve controlled
impedances for microstrip and stripline routing. Power planes must also have adjacent solid ground planes to
control supply return paths. Minimizing the space between supply and ground planes improves performance by
increasing the distributed decoupling.
Although the DAC3484 device consists of both analog and digital circuitry, TI highly recommends solid ground
planes that encompass the device and its input and output signal paths. TI does not recommend split ground
planes that divide the analog and digital portions of the device. Split ground planes may improve performance if a
nearby, noisy, digital device is corrupting the ground reference of the analog signal path. When split ground
planes are employed, one must carefully control the supply return paths and keep the paths on top of their
respective ground reference planes.
Quality analog output signals and input conversion clock signal path layout is required for full dynamic
performance. Symmetry of the differential signal paths and discrete components in the path is mandatory, and
symmetrical shunt-oriented components should have a common grounding via. The high frequency requirements
of the analog output and clock signal paths necessitate using differential routing with controlled impedances and
minimizing signal path stubs (including vias) when possible.
Coupling onto or between the clock and output signals paths should be avoided using any isolation techniques
available including distance isolation, orientation planning to prevent field coupling of components like inductors
and transformers, and providing well coupled reference planes. Via stitching around the clock signal path and the
input analog signal path provides a quiet ground reference for the critical signal paths and reduces noise
coupling onto these paths. Sensitive signal traces must not cross other signal traces or power routing on
adjacent PCB layers, rather a ground plane must separate the traces. If necessary, the traces should cross at
90° angles to minimize crosstalk.
The substrate (dielectric) material requirements of the PCB are largely influenced by the speed and length of the
high speed serial lanes. Affordable and common FR4 varieties are adequate in most cases.
Coupling of ambient signals into the signal path is reduced by providing quiet, close reference planes and by
maintaining signal path symmetry to ensure the coupled noise is common-mode. Faraday caging may be used in
very noise environment and high dynamic range applications to isolate the signal path.
The following layout guidelines correspond to the layout shown in Figure 100.
1. DAC output termination resistors should be placed as close to the output pins as possible to provide a DC
path to ground and set the source impedance matching.
2. For DAC on-chip PLL clocking mode, if the external loop filter is not used, leave the loop filter pin floating
without any board routing nearby. Signals coupling to this node may cause clock mixing spurs in the DAC
output.
3. Route the high speed LVDS lanes as impedance-controlled, tightly-coupled, differential traces.

4. Maintain a solid ground plane under the LVDS lanes without any ground plane splits.
5. Simulation of the LVDS channel with DAC3484 IBIS model is recommended to verify good eye opening of
the data patterns.
6. Keep the OSTR signal routing away from the DACCLK routing to reduce coupling.
7. Keep routing for RBIAS short, for instance a resistor can be placed on the board directly connecting the
RBIAS pin to the ground layer.
The following layout guidelines correspond to the layouts shown in Figure 101 and Figure 102.
1. Noise power supplies should be routed away from clean supplies. Use two power plane layers, preferably
with a ground layer in between.
2. As shown in Figure 101 and Figure 102, both layers three and four are designated for power supply planes.
The DAC analog powers are all in the same layer to avoid coupling with each other, and the planes are
copied from layer three to layer four for double the copper coverage area.
3. Decoupling capacitors should be placed as close to the supply pins as possible. For instance, a capacitor
can be placed on the bottom of the board directly connecting the supply pin to a ground layer.

11.1.2 Device Nomenclature
11.1.2.1 Definition of Specifications
Adjacent Carrier Leakage Ratio (ACLR): Defined for a 3.84Mcps 3GPP W-CDMA input signal measured in a
3.84-MHz bandwidth at a 5-MHz offset from the carrier with a 12dB peak-to-average ratio.
Analog and Digital Power Supply Rejection Ratio (APSSR, DPSSR): 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): The two-tone IMD3 is defined as the ratio (in dBc) of the 3rd-order
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
