Digital Feedthrough
Digital feedthrough is the noise generated on a DAC’s
output when any digital input transitions. Proper board
layout and grounding will significantly reduce this
noise, but there will always be some feedthrough
caused by the DAC itself.
Total Harmonic Distortion
Total harmonic distortion (THD) is the ratio of the RMS
sum of the input signal’s N harmonics to the fundamen-
tal itself. This is expressed as:
where V
1
is the fundamental amplitude, and V
2
through
V
N
are the amplitudes of the 2nd- through Nth-order
harmonics.
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
SFDR is the ratio of RMS amplitude of the carrier frequen-
cy (maximum signal component) to the RMS value of the
next largest noise or harmonic distortion component.
SFDR is usually measured in dBc with respect to the car-
rier frequency amplitude or in dBFS with respect to the
DAC’s full-scale range. Depending on its test condition,
SFDR is observed within a predefined window or to
Nyquist. In the case of the MAX5186/MAX5189, the SFDR
performance is measured for a 0dBFS output amplitude
and analyzed within the Nyquist window.

Figure 5. Differential to Single-Ended Conversion Using a Low-Distortion Amplifier
Differential to Single-Ended Conversion
The MAX4108 low-distortion, high-input bandwidth
amplifier may be used to generate a voltage from the
array current output of the MAX5186. The differential
voltage across OUT1P (or OUT2P) and OUT1N (or
OUT2N) is converted into a single-ended voltage by
designing an appropriate operational amplifier configu-
ration (Figure 5).
I/Q Reconstruction in a QAM Application
The MAX5186/MAX5189’s low distortion supports ana-
log reconstruction of in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q)
carrier components typically used in quadrature ampli-
tude modulation (QAM) architectures where I and Q
data are interleaved on a common data bus. A QAM
signal is both amplitude and phase modulated, created
by summing two independently modulated carriers of
identical frequency but different phase (90° phase dif-
ference).
In a typical QAM application (Figure 6), the modulation
occurs in the digital domain and the MAX5186/
MAX5189’s dual DACs may be used to reconstruct the
analog I and Q components.
The I/Q reconstruction system is completed by a quad-
rature modulator that combines the reconstructed I and
Q components with in-phase and quadrature carrier
frequencies and then sums both outputs to provide the
QAM signal.
