DIGITAL INPUTS

The AD9750’s digital input consists of 10 data input pins and a

clock input pin. The 10-bit parallel data inputs follow standard

positive binary coding where DB9 is the most significant bit

(MSB) and DB0 is the least significant bit (LSB). IOUTA

produces a full-scale output current when all data bits are at

Logic 1. IOUTB produces a complementary output with the

full-scale current split between the two outputs as a function of

the input code.

The digital interface is implemented using an edge-triggered

master slave latch. The DAC output is updated following the

rising edge of the clock as shown in Figure 1 and is designed to

support a clock rate as high as 125 MSPS. The clock can be

operated at any duty cycle that meets the specified latch pulse-

width. The setup and hold times can also be varied within the

clock cycle as long as the specified minimum times are met;

although the location of these transition edges may affect digital

feedthrough and distortion performance. Best performance is

typically achieved when the input data transitions on the falling edge

of a 50% duty cycle clock.

The digital inputs are CMOS compatible with logic thresholds,

VTHRESHOLD set to approximately half the digital positive supply

(DVDD) or

VTHRESHOLD = DVDD/2 (± 20%)

The internal digital circuitry of the AD9750 is capable of operating

over a digital supply range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V. As a result, the

digital inputs can also accommodate TTL levels when DVDD is

set to accommodate the maximum high level voltage of the TTL

drivers VOH(MAX). A DVDD of 3 V to 3.3 V will typically ensure

proper compatibility with most TTL logic families. Figure 23

shows the equivalent digital input circuit for the data and clock

inputs. The sleep mode input is similar with the exception that

it contains an active pull-down circuit, thus ensuring that the

AD9750 remains enabled if this input is left disconnected.

resistors should be considered to maintain “clean” digital in-

puts. Also, operating the AD9750 with reduced logic swings and

a corresponding digital supply (DVDD) will also reduce data

feedthrough.

The external clock driver circuitry should provide the AD9750

with a low jitter clock input meeting the min/max logic levels

while providing fast edges. Fast clock edges will help minimize

any jitter that will manifest itself as phase noise on a recon-

structed waveform. Thus, the clock input should be driven by

the fastest logic family suitable for the application.

Note, the clock input could also be driven via a sine wave, which is

centered around the digital threshold (i.e., DVDD/2), and meets

the min/max logic threshold. This will typically result in a slight

degradation in the phase noise, which becomes more noticeable

at higher sampling rates and output frequencies. Also, at higher

sampling rates, the 20% tolerance of the digital logic threshold

should be considered since it will affect the effective clock duty

cycle and subsequently cut into the required data setup and

hold times.

INPUT CLOCK/DATA TIMING RELATIONSHIP

SNR in a DAC is dependent on the relationship between the

position of the clock edges and the point in time at which the

input data changes. The AD9750 is positive edge triggered, and

so exhibits SNR sensitivity when the data transition is close to

this edge. In general, the goal when applying the AD9750 is to

make the data transitions shortly after the rising edge. This

becomes more important as the sample rate increases. Figure 24

shows the relationship of SNR to clock placement with different

sample rates and different frequencies out. Note that at the

lower sample rates, much more tolerance is allowed in clock

placement, while at higher rates, much more care must be taken.

Figure 23. Equivalent Digital Input

Since the AD9750 is capable of being updated up to 125 MSPS,

the quality of the clock and data input signals are important in

achieving the optimum performance. The drivers of the digital

data interface circuitry should be specified to meet the minimum

setup and hold times of the AD9750 as well as its required min/

max input logic level thresholds. Typically, the selection of

the slowest logic family that satisfies the above conditions will

result in the lowest data feedthrough and noise.

Digital signal paths should be kept short and run lengths

matched to avoid propagation delay mismatch. The insertion of

a low value resistor network (i.e., 20 Ω to 100 Ω) between the

AD9750 digital inputs and driver outputs may be helpful in

reducing any overshooting and ringing at the digital inputs that

contribute to data feedthrough. For longer run lengths and high

data update rates, strip line techniques with proper termination

SLEEP MODE OPERATION

The AD9750 has a power-down function which turns off the

output current and reduces the supply current to less than

8.5 mA over the specified supply range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V and

temperature range. This mode can be activated by applying a

logic level “1” to the SLEEP pin. This digital input also con-

tains an active pull-down circuit that ensures the AD9750 re-

mains enabled if this input is left disconnected. The AD9750

takes less than 50 ns to power down and approximately 5 µs to

power back up.
