Dual DAC with CMOS Inputs

Analog Outputs
(OUTIP, OUTIN, OUTQP, OUTQN)
Each MAX5874 DAC outputs two complementary cur-
rents (OUTIP/N, OUTQP/N) that operate in a single-
ended or differential configuration. A load resistor
converts these two output currents into complementary
single-ended output voltages. A transformer or a differ-
ential amplifier configuration converts the differential
voltage existing between OUTIP (OUTQP) and OUTIN
(OUTQN) to a single-ended voltage. If not using a
transformer, the recommended termination from the
output is a 25 termination resistor to ground and a
50 resistor between the outputs.
To generate a single-ended output, select OUTIP (or
OUTQP) as the output and connect OUTIN (or OUTQN)
to GND. SFDR degrades with single-ended operation.
Figure 3 displays a simplified diagram of the internal
output structure of the MAX5874.
Clock Inputs (CLKP, CLKN)
The MAX5874 features flexible differential clock inputs
(CLKP, CLKN) operating from a separate supply
(AV
CLK
) to achieve the optimum jitter performance.
Drive the differential clock inputs from a single-ended
or a differential clock source. For single-ended opera-
tion, drive CLKP with a logic source and bypass CLKN
to GND with a 0.1µF capacitor.
CLKP and CLKN are internally biased to AV
CLK
/ 2. This
facilitates the AC-coupling of clock sources directly to
the device without external resistors to define the DC
level. The dynamic input resistance from CLKP and
CLKN to ground is > 5k.
Data Timing Relationship
Figure 4 displays the timing relationship between digital
CMOS data, clock, and output signals. The MAX5874
features a 1.5ns hold, a -1.2ns setup, and a 1.1ns propa-
gation delay time. A nine (eight)-clock-cycle latency
exists between CLKP/CLKN and OUTIP/OUTIN
(OUTQP/OUTQN) when operating in single-port (inter-
leaved) mode. In dual-port (parallel) mode, the clock
latency is 5.5 clock cycles for both channels. Table 2
shows the DAC output codes.

CMOS-Compatible Digital Inputs
Input Data Format Select (TORB,
DORI
)
The TORB input selects between two’s-complement or
binary digital input data. Set TORB to a CMOS-logic-
high level to indicate a two’s-complement input format.
Set TORB to a CMOS-logic-low level to indicate a binary
input format.
The DORI input selects between a dual-port (parallel) or
single-port (interleaved) DAC. Set DORI high to configure
the MAX5874 as a dual-port DAC. Set DORI low to con-
figure the MAX5874 as a single-port DAC. In dual-port
mode, connect SELIQ to ground.
CMOS DAC Inputs (A13/B13–A0/B0, XOR, SELIQ)
The MAX5874 latches input data on the rising edge of
the clock in a user-selectable two’s-complement or
binary format. A logic-high voltage on TORB selects
two’s-complement and a logic-low selects offset
binary format.
The MAX5874 includes a single-ended, CMOS-compati-
ble XOR input. Input data (all bits) are compared with the
bit applied to XOR through exclusive-OR gates. Pulling
XOR high inverts the input data. Pulling XOR low leaves
the input data noninverted. By applying a previously
encoded pseudo-random bit stream to the data input and
applying decoding to XOR, the digital input data can be
decorrelated from the DAC output, allowing for the trou-
bleshooting of possible spurious or harmonic distortion
degradation due to digital feedthrough on the printed
circuit board (PCB).
A13/B13–A0/B0, XOR, and SELIQ are latched on the ris-
ing edge of the clock. In single-port mode (DORI pulled
low) a logic-high signal on SELIQ directs the B13–B0
data onto the I-DAC inputs. A logic-low signal at SELIQ
directs data to the Q-DAC inputs. In dual-port (parallel)
mode (DORI pulled high), data on pins A13–A0 are
directed onto the Q-DAC inputs and B13–B0 are directed
onto the I-DAC inputs.
Power-Down Operation (PD)
The MAX5874 also features an active-high power-
down mode that reduces the DAC’s digital current
consumption from 22mA to less than 2µA and the ana-
log current consumption from 77mA to less than 2µA.
Set PD high to power down the MAX5874. Set PD low
for normal operation.
When powered down, the power consumption of the
MAX5874 is reduced to less than 14µW. The MAX5874
requires 10ms to wake up from power-down and enter a
fully operational state. The PD integrated pulldown resistor
activates the MAX5874 if PD is left floating.

Applications Information
CLK Interface
The MAX5874 features a flexible differential clock input
(CLKP, CLKN) with a separate supply (AV
CLK
) to
achieve optimum jitter performance. Use an ultra-low
jitter clock to achieve the required noise density. Clock
jitter must be less than 0.5ps
RMS
for meeting the speci-
fied noise density. For that reason, the CLKP/CLKN
input source must be designed carefully. The differen-
tial clock (CLKN and CLKP) input can be driven from a
single-ended or a differential clock source. Differential
clock drive is required to achieve the best dynamic
performance from the DAC. For single-ended opera-
tion, drive CLKP with a low-noise source and bypass
CLKN to GND with a 0.1µF capacitor.
Figure 5 shows a convenient and quick way to apply a
differential signal created from a single-ended source
(e.g., HP/AGILENT 8644B signal generator) and a wide-
band transformer. Alternatively, these inputs can be
driven from a CMOS-compatible clock source; however, it
is recommended to use sinewave or AC-coupled differ-
ential ECL/PECL drive for best dynamic performance.
