system where only a single positive and a single negative supply
are available. In this case, the positive logic and positive analog
supplies may both be connected to the single positive supply.
The negative logic and negative analog supplies may both be
connected to the single negative supply. Performance would
benefit from a measure of isolation between the supplies intro-
duced by using simple low-pass filters in the individual power
supply leads.

As with most linear circuits, changes in the power supplies will
affect the output of the DAC. Analog Devices recommends that
well regulated power supplies with less than 1% ripple be incor-
porated into the design of any system using these device.
MEASUREMENT OF TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION
The THD specification of a DSP DAC represents the amount
of undesirable signal produced during reconstruction of a digital
waveform. To account for the variety of operating conditions
Figure 8. Distortion Test Circuit
in signal processing applications, the DAC is tested at two
output frequencies and at three signal levels over the full oper-
ating temperature ranges.
A block diagram of the test setup is shown in Figure 8. In this
test setup, a digital data stream, representing a 0 dB, –20 dB or
–60 dB sine wave is sent to the device under test. The frequen-
cies used are 1037 Hz and 49.07 kHz. Input data is latched into
the AD766 at 500 kSPS. The AD766 under test produces an
analog output signal using the on-board op amp for 1 kHz and
an external op amp for 50 kHz.
The automatic test equipment digitizes the output test wave-
form, and then an FFT to 250 kHz is performed on the results
of the test. Based on the first 9 harmonics of the fundamental
1037 Hz and the first 3 harmonics of the 49.07 kHz output
waves, the total harmonic distortion of the device is calculated.
Neither a deglitcher nor an MSB trim is used during the THD
test.
The circuit design, layout and manufacturing techniques em-
ployed in the production of the AD766 result in excellent THD
performance. Figure 9 shows the typical unadjusted THD per-
formance of the AD766 for various amplitudes of 1 kHz and
50 kHz sine waves. As can be seen, the AD766 offers excellent
performance even at amplitudes as low as 60 dB. Figure 10
illustrates the typical THD versus frequency performance from
the internal amplifier for a filtered AD766 output. At frequen-
cies greater than approximately 30 kHz, depending on the low-
pass filter used, an improvement in THD of 3–4 dB over the
performance shown in the figure can be achieved. Figure 11
illustrates the consistent THD performance of the AD766
over temperature.

INTERFACING THE AD766 TO DIGITAL SIGNAL
PROCESSORS
The AD766 is specifically designed to easily interface to several
popular digital signal processors (DSP) without any additional
logic. Such an interface reduces the possibility of interface prob-
lems and improves system reliability by minimizing component
count.
AD766 TO ADSP-2101
The ADSP-2101 incorporates two complete serial ports which
can be directly interfaced to the AD766 as shown in Figure 12.
The SCLK, TFS and DT outputs of the ADSP-2101 are con-
nected directly to the
CLK, LE and DATA inputs of the
AD766, respectively. SCLK is internally generated and can be
programmed to operate from 94 Hz to 6.25 MHz. Data (DT) is
valid on the falling edge of SCLK. After 16 bits have been trans-
mitted, the falling edge of TFS updates the AD766’s data latch.
Using both serial ports of the ADSP-2101, two AD766’s can be
directly interfaced with no additional hardware.
AD766 TO TMS320C25
Figure 13 shows the zero-chip interface to the TMS320C25.
The interface to other TMS320C2X processors is similar. Note
that the C25 should be run in continuous mode. The C25’s
frame synch signal (FSX) will be asserted at the beginning of
each 16-bit word but will actually latch in the previous word.

Figure 13. AD766 to TMS320C25
The CLKS, FSX and DX outputs of the TMS320C25 are con-
nected to the
CLK, LE and DATA inputs of the AD766, re-
spectively. Data (DX) is valid on the falling edge of CLKX. The
maximum serial clock rate of the TMS320C25 is 5 MHz.
AD766 TO DSP56000/56001
Figure 14 shows the zero-chip interface to the DSP56000/
56001. The SSI of the 56000/56001 allows serial clock rates up
to fosc/4. SCK, SC2 and STD can be directly connected to the
CLK, LE and DATA inputs of the AD766. The CRA control
register of the 56000 allows SCK to be internally generated and
software configurable to various divisions of the master clock
frequency. The data (STD) is valid on the falling edge of SCK.
