Description
The TMC3003 is a high-speed triple 10-bit D/A converter
especially suited for video and graphics applications.
It offers 10-bit resolution, TTL-compatible inputs, low
power consumption, and requires only a single +5 Volt
power supply. It has single-ended current outputs, SYNC
and BLANK control inputs, and a separate current source for
adding sync pulses to the Green D/A converter output. It is
ideal for generating analog RGB from digital RGB and
driving computer display and video monitors. Three speed
grades are available: 30, 50, and 80 Msps.
The TMC3003 triple D/A converter is available in a 44-lead
plastic J-leaded PLCC and 48-Lead quad flatpack (LQFP).
It is fabricated on a sub-micron CMOS process with performance guaranteed from 0°C to 70°C.

PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
Functional Description
The TMC3003 is a low-cost triple 10-bit CMOS D/A
converter designed to directly drive computer CRT displays
and video transmission lines at pixel rates of up to 80 Msps.
It comprises three identical 10-bit D/A converters with
registered data inputs, common clock, and internal voltage
reference. An independent current source allows sync to be
added to the green D/A converter output.
Digital Inputs
All digital inputs are TTL-compatible. Data are registered on
the rising edge of the CLK signal. The analog output
changes tDO after the rising edge of CLK. There is one stage
of pipeline delay on the chip. The guaranteed clock rates of
the TMC3003 are 80, 50, and 30 MHz.
SYNC and BLANK
SYNC and BLANK inputs control the output level
(Figure 1 and Table 1) of the D/A converters during CRT
retrace intervals. BLANK forces the D/A outputs to the
blanking level while SYNC turns off a separate current
source which is connected to the green D/A converter. This
connection adds a 40 IRE sync pulse to the D/A output and
brings that D/A output to 0.0 Volts during the sync tip.
SYNC and BLANK are registered on the rising edge of
CLK.
BLANK gates the D/A inputs and sets the pedestal voltage.
If BLANK = HIGH, the D/A inputs are added to a pedestal
which offsets the current output. If BLANK = LOW, data
inputs and the pedestal are disabled.
data: 660 mV max.
pedestal: 54 mV
sync: 286 mV

D/A Outputs
Each D/A output is a current source. To obtain a voltage output a resistor must be connected to ground. Output voltage of
the D/A converters depends upon this resistor, the reference
voltage, and the value of the gain-setting resistor connected
between RREF and GND.
Normally, a source termination resistor of 75 Ohms is connected between the D/A current output pin and GND near
the D/A converter. A 75 Ohm coaxial cable may then be connected with another 75 Ohm termination resistor at the far
end of the cable. This “double termination” presents the D/A
converter with a net resistive load of 37.5 Ohms.
The TMC3003 may also be operated with a single 75 Ohm
terminating resistor. To lower the output voltage swing to the
desired range, the value of the resistor on RREF should be
increased.
Voltage Reference
The TMC3003 has an internal bandgap voltage reference
of +1.235 Volts. An external voltage reference may be
connected to the VREF pin, overriding the internal voltage
reference. All three D/A converters are driven from the same
reference.
A 0.1µF capacitor must be connected between the COMP
pin and VDD to stabilize internal bias circuitry and ensure
low-noise operation.
Power and Ground
The TMC3003 D/A converter requires a single +5.0 Volt
power supply. The analog (VDD) power supply voltage
should be decoupled to GND to reduce power supply
induced noise. 0.1µF decoupling capacitors should be placed
as close as possible to the power pins.
The high slew-rate of digital data makes capacitive coupling
to the outputs of any D/A converter a potential problem.
Since the digital signals contain high-frequency components
of the CLK signal, as well as the video output signal, the
resulting data feedthrough often looks like harmonic distortion or reduced signal-to-noise performance. All ground pins
should be connected to a common solid ground plane for
best performance.

TTL
Sync pulse Input. Bringing SYNC LOW, turns off a 40
IRE (7.62 mA) current source which forms a sync pulse on
the Green D/A converter output. SYNC is registered on the
rising edge of CLK along with pixel data and has the same
pipeline latency as BLANK and pixel data. SYNC does not
override any other data and should be used only during
the blanking interval.
Controls
SYNC
Since this is a single-supply D/A and all signals are
positive-going, sync is added to the bottom of the Green
D/A range. So turning SYNC OFF means turning the
current source ON. When a sync pulse is desired, the
current source is turned OFF. If the system does not
require sync pulses from the Green D/A converter, SYNC
should be connected to GND.
BLANK

TTL
Blanking Input. When BLANK is LOW, pixel inputs are
ignored and the D/A converter outputs are driven to the
blanking level. BLANK is registered on the rising edge of
CLK and has the same pipeline latency as SYNC.

Current-setting resistor. The full-scale output current of
each D/A converter is determined by the value of the

value for RREF is found from:
RREF = 9.1( VREF/IFS)
where IFS is the full-scale (white) output current (in amps)
from the
D/A converter (without sync). Sync is 0.4 * IFS.
D/A full-scale (white) current may also be calculated from:
IFS = VFS/ RL
Where VFS is the white voltage level and RL is the total
resistive load (in ohms) on each D/A converter. VFS is the
blank to full-scale voltage.

Applications Discussion
Figure 4 illustrates a typical TMC3003 interface circuit.
In this example, an optional 1.2 Volt bandgap reference is
connected to the VREF output, overriding the internal voltage reference source.
Grounding
It is important that the TMC3003 power supply is wellregulated and free of high-frequency noise. Careful power
supply decoupling will ensure the highest quality video signals at the output of the circuit. The TMC3003 has separate
analog and digital circuits. To keep digital system noise from
the D/A converter, it is recommended that power
supply voltages (VDD) come from the system analog power
source and all ground connections (GND) be made to the
analog ground plane. Power supply pins should be individually decoupled at the pin.
the power supply for the TMC3003 is the same as that of
the system's digital circuitry, power to the TMC3003
should be decoupled with 0.1µF and 0.01µF capacitors
and isolated with a ferrite bead.
3.
The ground plane should be solid, not cross-hatched.
Connections to the ground plane should have very short
leads.
4.
If the digital power supply has a dedicated power plane
layer, it should not be placed under the TMC3003, the
voltage reference, or the analog outputs. Capacitive coupling of digital power supply noise from this layer to the
TMC3003 and its related analog circuitry can have an
adverse effect on performance.
5.
CLK should be handled carefully. Jitter and noise on
this clock will degrade performance. Terminate the
clock line carefully to eliminate overshoot and ringing.
Printed Circuit Board Layout
Designing with high-performance mixed-signal circuits
demands printed circuits with ground planes. Overall
system performance is strongly influenced by the board layout. Capacitive coupling from digital to analog circuits may
result in poor D/A conversion. Consider the following
suggestions when doing the layout:
1.
Keep the critical analog traces (VREF, IREF, COMP,
IOR, IOG, IOB) as short as possible and as far as possible from all digital signals. The TMC3003 should be
located near the board edge, close to the analog output
connectors.
2.
The power plane for the TMC3003 should be separate
from that which supplies the digital circuitry. A single
power plane should be used for all of the VDD pins. If

4. Dimension ND: Number of terminals.
5. Dimension ND: Number of terminals per package edge.
6. "L" is the length of terminal for soldering to a substrate.
7. Dimension "B" does not include dambar protrusion. Allowable
dambar protrusion shall not cause the lead width to exceed the
maximum B dimension by more than 0.08mm. Dambar can not be
located on the lower radius or the foot. Minimum space between
protrusion and an adjacent lead is 0.07mm for 0.4mm and 0.5mm
pitch packages.
