N DAC14135 14-bit, 135MSPS D/A Converter General Description Features The DAC14135 is a monolithic 14-bit, 135MSPS digital-to-analog converter. The device has been optimized for use in cellular base stations and other applications where high resolution, high sampling rate, wide dynamic range, and compact size are required. The DAC14135 has many integrated features including a proprietary segmented DAC core, differential current outputs, a band-gap voltage reference, and TTL/CMOS compatible inputs. The converter features an 85dBc spurious free dynamic range (SFDR) at low frequencies and a 70dBc SFDR with 20MHz output signals. The 48-pin TSSOP package provides an extremely small footprint for applications where space is a critical consideration. The DAC14135 operates from a single +5V power supply. The digital power supply can also operate from +3.3V for lower power consumption and compatibility with +3.3V data inputs. The DAC14135 is fabricated in a 0.5µm CMOS process and is specified over the industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. National Semiconductor thoroughly tests each part to verify full compliance with the guaranteed specifications. • 135 MSPS • Wide dynamic range SFDR @ 1MHz fout: 85dBc SFDR @ 5MHz fout: 79dBc SFDR @ 20MHz fout: 70dBc • Differential Current Outputs • Low power consumption: 185mW • Very small package: 48-pin TSSOP • TTL/CMOS (+3.3V or +5V) inputs Applications • Cellular Basestations: GSM, WCDMA, DAMPS, etc. • Multi-carrier Basestations • Multi-standard Basestations • Direct digital synthesis (DDS) • ADSL modems • HFC modems W-CDMA ACPR Four-Tone SFDR -30 0 Fs = 32.768MSPS -40 ACPR Lower 72.1dB Fs = 135MSPS Fout1 = 6.2MHz Fout2 = 9.31MHz Fout3 = 18.8MHz Fout4 = 21.95MHz Ampl. = 0dBFS SFDR > 70dBc -20 ACPR Upper 73dB -60 Power (dB) Power (dB) -50 DAC14135 14-bit, 135MSPS D/A Converter November 1999 -70 -80 -90 -100 -40 -60 -80 -110 -100 -120 2 4 6 8 10 Frequency (MHz) © 1999 National Semiconductor Corporation Printed in the U.S.A. 12 14 16 5 10 15 20 25 30 Frequency (MHz) http://www.national.com DAC14135 Electrical Characteristics (sample rate = 135MSPS, Tmin = -40°C, Tmax = +85°C, AVDD = +5V, DVDD = +5V, CVDD = +5V, full scale current = 20mA, differential 50Ω doubly terminated output, unless specified otherwise) PARAMETERS CONDITIONS TEMP RATINGS UNITS NOTES 1 MIN TYP MAX 135 75 70 64 14 20 150 85 79 70 -146 Bits mA MSPS dBc dBc dBc dBFS/Hz 85 79 70 90 72 dBc dBc dBc dBc dBc RESOLUTION FULL SCALE CURRENT MAXIMUM CONVERSION RATE SFDR (1ST Nyquist band) SFDR (1ST Nyquist band) SFDR (1ST Nyquist band) NOISE FLOOR fout = 1MHz, 0dBFS fout = 5MHz, 0dBFS fout = 20MHz, 0dBFS fout = 5MHz, 0dBFS Full Full Full Full Full Full +25°C DYNAMIC LINEARITY @ DVDD = +5V spurious-free dynamic range fout = 1MHz fout = 5MHz fout = 20MHz SFDR within a band four-tone SFDR sample rate = 135MSPS 1ST Nyquist band 0dBFS 0dBFS 0dBFS fout = 20MHz, 4MHz band 6.2, 9.31, 18.8, 21.95 MHz Full Full Full +25°C +25°C DYNAMIC LINEARITY @ DVDD = +3.3V spurious-free dynamic range fout = 1MHz fout = 5MHz fout = 20MHz sample rate = 100MSPS 1ST Nyquist band 0dBFS, DVDD = +3.3V 0dBFS, DVDD = +3.3V 0dBFS, DVDD = +3.3V +25°C +25°C +25°C 83 77 70 dBc dBc dBc DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS glitch impulse settling time to 0.1% rise time fall time step size = Ifullscale/2 +25°C +25°C +25°C +25°C 1 30 0.4 0.4 pV-s ns ns ns DC ACCURACY AND PERFORMANCE differential non-linearity integral non-linearity gain error gain drift 20mA output current offset error reference voltage +25°C +25°C +25°C Full +25°C +25°C ±1.0 ±1.5 ±5.0 ±75 10 1.235 LSB LSB % of FS ppm/°C nA V ANALOG OUTPUT PERFORMANCE full scale current compliance voltage (high) compliance voltage (low) output resistance output capacitance +25°C +25°C +25°C +25°C +25°C DATA INPUTS input logic low voltage, VIL input logic high voltage, VIH input logic low voltage, VIL input logic high voltage, VIH input logic low current, IIL input logic high current, IIH at mid-scale at mid-scale Full Full Full Full Full Full DVDD = +3.3V DVDD = +3.3V TIMING maximum conversion rate setup time (TS) hold time (TH) propagation delay (TPD) latency Full +25°C +25°C +25°C +25°C CLOCK INPUTS clock inputs internal self bias differential clock input swing differential clock input slew rate clock input impedance (single-ended) +25°C Full Full +25°C 75 70 64 1.111 1.358 20 1.25 -0.5 150 8.5 1.3 0.9 135 0.5 4.5 10 10 150 2 1 1.5 1.5 1 1.2 2 2 1, 2 3 mA V V kΩ pF 3.5 2.4 -10 -10 1, 2 2 2 1, 2 V V V V µA µA 1 1 1 1 1 1 MSPS ns ns ns 1, 2 clk cycles V Vpp V/ns kΩ Min/max ratings are based on product characterization and simulation.

The diodes in the secondary limit the input swing to the DAC14135. Digital Data Inputs The DAC14135’s 14-bit binary inputs are CMOS compatible. The input voltage thresholds are approximately half of the digital supply voltage (DVDD/2). For a 3.3V DVDD, the inputs are also compatible with standard TTL levels. Digital data is standard binary coded, D13 is the most significant bit and D0 is the least significant bit. For all 1’s at the input, IOUTT = Ifullscale, IOUTF = 0. For all 0’s at the input, IOUTT = 0, IOUTF = Ifullscale. Latching the Input Data Inputs of the DAC14135 include a master-slave flip-flop. Due to internal clock buffer delay, the DAC14135 requires more hold time than setup time. This timing should be observed at the DAC data and clock pins. Refer to the timing diagram and the specifications for proper setup and hold time requirements. To prevent or reduce digital data feedthrough, keep digital data lines short and ensure separate digital grounding (DGND). 75Ω resistors in series with the digital data input path may be used to reduce overshoot and data feedthrough to the analog outputs. Digital supply (DVDD) should be decoupled to DGND using a 0.1µF bypass capacitor. Data Scramble (DS) Input Pin The DAC14135 is equipped with a data scramble input pin (DS) that may be used to troubleshoot possible spurious or harmonic distortion degradation due to digital data feedthrough on the printed circuit board. In the DAC14135, the digital data inputs are logically XORed with the DS input pin as shown in Figure 2. Driving the Clock Inputs The differential clock inputs, Clock T and Clock F, may be driven by a variety of input sources. These pins are internally self-biased at about 1.5V and therefore can be differentially AC coupled. Alternatively, a single clock source on Clock T with Clock F bypassed to CGND using a 0.1µF capacitor, may be used to clock the DAC14135. The clock driver supply voltage (CVDD) should be 5V ±5% and should be decoupled to the clock ground (CGND) using a 0.1µF capacitor. For best SFDR performance, use a differential clock input. Minimum input voltage swing (1.5Vpp) and slew rate (1.0V/ns) requirements should be met for optimum performance. Low noise and low jitter clocks provide the best SNR performance for the DAC14135. Figure 1 shows one method of driving the clock inputs. A low noise sinusoidal clock source (2-4 Vpp) may be used to drive the transformer primary. 0.1µF 25Ω 0.1µF 25Ω 0.1µF DAC14135 D13 D Q Q D12 D Q • • • • • Q • • • • D0 D Q Q CLK DS Figure 2: Digital Data Inputs with DS Input Pin If the DS pin is at logic low (DGND) the input data is left unchanged and if this pin is at logic high (DVDD) the input data is inverted. If the input data is XORed with a random bit stream and if the same random bit stream is used to drive the DS pin, low order harmonics due to data feedthrough on the printed circuit board can be reduced. If this feature is not used, tie DS pin to ground or leave it floating (DS pin has internal active pulldown). Clock T Voltage Reference Loop The DAC14135 has an internal bandgap voltage reference nominally at 1.235V. The output of this bandgap is connected to the REFIO pin. The REFIO pin is a high impedance output and therefore can be easily over- Clock F T1- 1T Figure 1: Method of Driving Clock Inputs 7 http://www.national.com ridden by an external bandgap reference voltage. The reference ground (REFLO) should always be tied to analog ground. The REFIO pin should be bypassed to REFLO using a 0.1µF capacitor. For reduced noise, an external compensation capacitor (0.1µF) should also be used to bypass the internal reference loop from pin REFCOMP to AGND. Figure 3 shows the internal voltage reference loop functional schematic. Analog Outputs The differential analog outputs, IOUTT and IOUTF, are high impedance current source outputs. These outputs, if terminated into 50Ω at 20mA full scale current, will generate a differential voltage output at 2Vpp. The output compliance of each of the current outputs of the DAC14135 is -0.5V to +1.25V. The differential outputs can be converted to a single-ended output using an RF center-tapped transformer or a differential to singleended amplifier. The IOUTT and IOUTF traces on the printed circuit board should be short and matched with adequate analog grounding nearby. One example of an AC coupled differential to single-ended topology is shown in Figure 4.

The full scale current is given by, Figure 4: AC Coupled Differential to Single-ended Topology Ifs = 42.67 x Iref DAC14135 Grounding Information In the DAC14135, all the grounds AGND, REFLO, DGND and CGND are shorted together inside the package. The purpose of having separate grounds on the printed circuit board is to prevent digital data currents from returning through the analog or reference grounds, and corrupting the analog outputs. Refer to the evaluation board layout. Alternatively, a resistor (Rset) from FSADJ to AGND may be used to set the full scale output current of the DAC. Ifs (mA) = 42.67 x REFIO/Rset The voltage at REFIO is nominally set by the internal bandgap at 1.235V. For a full scale output current of 20mA, the value of Rset is 2.635kΩ. http://www.national.com 8 DAC14135 Evaluation Board Description To use the board in the dual supply mode, connect a 5V supply to the +AVDD terminal block, connect a 3.3V supply to the +DVDD terminal block and connect the jumper between the DIRECT pin (pin 1) and the middle pin (pin 2). This bypasses the on-board voltage regulator, although the regulator still draws power. General Description The DAC14135 Evaluation Board is intended to aid in evaluating the performance of the DAC14135. The board allows the user to exercise the inputs to the DAC and examine the output in either differential or single ended mode. The board comes complete with the DAC14135, a transformer network to convert a single ended clock to a differential clock, a transformer to convert the differential output from IOUTT and IOUTF to a single ended output, and an edge connector. This is a 5V part, but if a 3.3V CMOS or TTL digital data interface is required, the digital supply (DVDD) should be 3.3V. A 3.3V regulator is provided so that the board can be run off of a single 5V supply. For the best distortion performance at the maximum clock frequency, DVDD should be set to 5V. Getting Data to the Evaluation Board The DAC14135 evaluation board is shipped with the edge connectors J1 and J2 being the default data input interface. J1 and J2 are AMP 536511-1 and 536511-3 edge connectors respectively. Data should be at the same voltage level as DVDD. Figure 5 below, is an edgeon view of J2. Pins 24D-11D are the data lines with 24D being the MSB. The ground pins are 23C, 23A, 21C, 19C, 17C, 17A, 15C, 13C, 11C, 11A, 9C, 7C, 6A, 5C, 3C, and 1C. All ground pins are tied together on-board. Also, pin 10D should be at logic LOW (0V) if the data scramble feature on the DAC14135 is not used. Setup and Configuration There are two terminal blocks on the DAC14135 evaluation board, one in the upper left corner next to the AMP connectors, and one in the upper right corner. The upper right corner has the analog power supply connector, marked +AVDD. The connector in the upper left is for the digital power supply and is marked +DVDD. There is also a jumper next to the +DVDD terminal block marked DVDD with one end marked DIRECT and the other end marked +3.3V REG. Driving the Clock Input The evaluation board has an on-board transformer, T2, that converts a single ended clock to a differential clock to drive the DAC14135. For best results drive the CLOCK SMA connector with a low jitter 50Ω source. If a sinusoidal source is used, its peak-to-peak amplitude should be at least 2.5V to meet the minimum clock input slew rate requirement. Back-to-back diodes at the secondary of the transformer T2 limit the voltage swing at the DAC14135 Clock T and Clock F input pins. There are three ways to power the evaluation board. The default method of use is to connect the 5V power supply to both the +AVDD terminal block and the +DVDD terminal block and connect the jumper between the DIRECT pin (pin 1) and the middle pin (pin 2). Measuring the Analog Outputs The evaluation board is shipped with transformer T1 installed to convert the differential output to a single ended output. However, the 0Ω resistors R38 and R39 are not installed. To take single ended measurements, install R38 and R39 and attach your instrument to the SMA connector marked ‘SINGLE’. For differential output measurements, remove R38 and R39 if they are installed. Note that both outputs, IOUTT and IOUTF, are terminated with 50Ω. If a 3.3V CMOS or TTL digital data interface is required, connect the jumper between the +3.3V REG pin (pin 3) and the middle pin (pin 2). This enables the 3.3V regulator on the back side of the board. The output of the regulator is filtered and powers the digital portion of the DAC. 24D 23D 22D 21D 20D 19D 18D 17D 16D 15D 14D 13D 12D 11D 10D 9D 8D 7D 6D 5D 4D 3D 2D 1D 24C 23C 22C 21C 20C 19C 18C 17C 16C 15C 14C 13C 12C 11C 10C 9C 8C 7C 6C 5C 4C 3C 2C 1C 24B 23B 22B 21B 20B 19B 18B 17B 16B 15B 14B 13B 12B 11B 10B 9B 8B 7B 6B 5B 4B 3B 2B 1B 24A 23A 22A 21A 20A 19A 18A 17A 16A 15A 14A 13A 12A 11A 10A 9A 8A 7A 6A 5A 4A 3A 2A 1A Figure 5: Pinout for J2 (Amp 536511-3) 9 http://www.national.com DAC14135 Evaluation Board Schematic http://www.national.com 10 DAC14135 Evaluation Board Layout DAC14135PCASM Layer 1 DAC14135PCASM Layer 2 DAC14135PCASM Layer 3 DAC14135PCASM Layer 4 11 http://www.national.com DAC14135 14-bit, 135MSPS D/A Converter DAC14135 Physical Dimensions Symbol Min Max A – 1.10 A1 0.05 0.15 A2 0.80 1.05 b 0.17 0.27 b1 0.17 0.23 c 0.09 0.20 c1 0.09 0.16 D 12.40 12.60 E E1 e L L1 R1 Notes 2 8.1 BSC 6.00 6.20 2 0.50 BSC 0.50 0.75 1.00 REF 0.127 Notes: 1.
