POWER AND GROUNDING CONSIDERATIONS, POWER

SUPPLY REJECTION

Many applications seek high speed and high performance under

less than ideal operating conditions. In these circuits, the imple-

mentation and construction of the printed circuit board design

are as important as the circuit design. To ensure optimum per-

formance, proper RF techniques must be used for device selec-

tion, placement and routing as well as power supply bypassing

and grounding. Figures 39–44 illustrate the recommended

printed circuit board ground, power and signal plane layouts

which are implemented on the AD9750 evaluation board.

One factor that can measurably affect system performance is the

ability of the DAC output to reject dc variations or ac noise

superimposed on the analog or digital dc power distribution

(i.e., AVDD, DVDD). This is referred to as Power Supply

Rejection Ratio (PSRR). For dc variations of the power supply,

the resulting performance of the DAC directly corresponds to a

gain error associated with the DAC’s full-scale current, IOUTFS.

AC noise on the dc supplies is common in applications where

the power distribution is generated by a switching power supply.

Typically, switching power supply noise will occur over the

spectrum from tens of kHz to several MHz. PSRR vs. frequency

of the AD9750 AVDD supply, over this frequency range, is

given in Figure 33.

different sizes of these switches, PSRR is very code-dependent.

This can produce a mixing effect which can modulate low fre-

quency power supply noise to higher frequencies. Worst case

PSRR for either one of the differential DAC outputs will occur

when the full-scale current is directed towards that output. As a

result, the PSRR measurement in Figure 33 represents a worst

case condition in which the digital inputs remain static and the

full-scale output current of 20 mA is directed to the DAC out-

put being measured.

An example serves to illustrate the effect of supply noise on the

analog supply. Suppose a switching regulator with a switching

frequency of 250 kHz produces 10 mV rms of noise and, for

simplicity sake (i.e., ignore harmonics), all of this noise is con-

centrated at 250 kHz. To calculate how much of this undesired

noise will appear as current noise superimposed on the DAC’s

full-scale current, IOUTFS, one must determine the PSRR in dB

using Figure 33 at 250 kHz. To calculate the PSRR for a given

RLOAD, such that the units of PSRR are converted from A/V to

V/V, adjust the curve in Figure 33 by the scaling factor 20 ×

Log (RLOAD). For instance, if RLOAD is 50 Ω, the PSRR is re-

duced by 34 dB (i.e., PSRR of the DAC at 1 MHz, which is

74 dB in Figure 33 becomes 40 dB VOUT/VIN).

Proper grounding and decoupling should be a primary objective

in any high speed, high resolution system. The AD9750 fea-

tures separate analog and digital supply and ground pins to

optimize the management of analog and digital ground currents

in a system. In general, AVDD, the analog supply, should be

decoupled to ACOM, the analog common, as close to the chip

as physically possible. Similarly, DVDD, the digital supply,

should be decoupled to DCOM as close as physically as possible.

For those applications that require a single +5 V or +3 V supply

for both the analog and digital supply, a clean analog supply

may be generated using the circuit shown in Figure 34. The

circuit consists of a differential LC filter with separate power

supply and return lines. Lower noise can be attained using low

ESR type electrolytic and tantalum capacitors.

Note that the units in Figure 33 are given in units of (amps out)/

(volts in). Noise on the analog power supply has the effect of

modulating the internal switches, and therefore the output

current. The voltage noise on the dc power will be added in a

nonlinear manner to the desired IOUT. Due to the relatively

Applications

Maintaining low noise on power supplies and ground is critical

to obtaining optimum results from the AD9750. If properly

implemented, ground planes can perform a host of functions on

high speed circuit boards: bypassing, shielding, current trans-

port, etc. In mixed signal design, the analog and digital portions

of the board should be distinct from each other, with the analog

ground plane confined to the areas covering the analog signal

traces, and the digital ground plane confined to areas covering

the digital interconnects.
