PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD9761 is a complete dual channel, high speed, 10-bit
CMOS DAC. The AD9761 has been developed specifically for
use in wide bandwidth communication applications (e.g., spread
spectrum) where digital I and Q information is being processed
during transmit operations. It integrates two 10-bit, 40 MSPS
DACs, dual 2× interpolation filters, a voltage reference, and
digital input interface circuitry. The AD9761 supports a
20 MSPS per channel input data rate that is then interpolated
by 2× up to 40 MSPS before simultaneously updating each
DAC.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. Dual 10-Bit, 40 MSPS DACs: A pair of high performance
40 MSPS DACs optimized for low distortion performance
provide for flexible transmission of I and Q information.
2. 2× Digital Interpolation Filters: Dual matching FIR interpo-
lation filters with 62.5 dB stop band rejection precede each
DAC input thus reducing the DACs’ reconstruction filter
requirements.
The interleaved I and Q input data stream is presented to the
digital interface circuitry, which consists of I and Q latches as well
as some additional control logic. The data is de-interleaved back
into its original I and Q data. An on-chip state machine ensures the
proper pairing of I and Q data. The data output from each latch is
then processed by a 2× digital interpolation filter that eases the
reconstruction filter requirements. The interpolated output of each
filter serves as the input of their respective 10-bit DAC.
3. Low Power: Complete CMOS Dual DAC function operates
on a low 200 mW on a single supply from 2.7 V to 5.5 V.
The DAC full-scale current can be reduced for lower power
operation, and a sleep mode is provided for power reduction
during idle periods.
4. On-Chip Voltage Reference: The AD9761 includes a 1.20 V
temperature-compensated bandgap voltage reference.
5. Single 10-Bit Digital Input Bus: The AD9761 features a
flexible digital interface allowing each DAC to be addressed
in a variety of ways including different update rates.
The DACs utilize a segmented current source architecture com-
bined with a proprietary switching technique to reduce glitch
energy and to maximize dynamic accuracy. Each DAC provides
differential current output thus supporting single-ended or
differential applications. Both DACs are simultaneously up-
dated and provide a nominal full-scale current of 10 mA. Also,
the full-scale currents between each DAC are matched to within
0.07 dB (i.e., 0.75%), thus eliminating the need for additional
gain calibration circuitry.
6. Small Package: The AD9761 offers the complete integrated
function in a compact 28-lead SSOP package.
7. Product Family: The AD9761 Dual Transmit DAC has a
pair of Dual Receive ADC companion products, the AD9281
(8 bits) and AD9201 (10 bits).
The AD9761 is manufactured on an advanced low cost CMOS
process. It operates from a single supply of 2.7 V to 5.5 V and
consumes 200 mW of power. To make the AD9761 complete it
also offers an internal 1.20 V temperature-compensated bandgap
reference.

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection.
Although the AD9761 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may
occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD
precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

DEFINITIONS OF SPECIFICATIONS
Channel Isolation
Linearity Error (Also Called Integral Nonlinearity or INL)
Linearity error is defined as the maximum deviation of the
actual analog output from the ideal output, determined by a
straight line drawn from zero to full scale.
Channel Isolation is a measure of the level of crosstalk between
channels. It is measured by producing a full-scale 8 MHz signal
output for one channel and measuring the leakage into the other
channel.
Differential Nonlinearity (or DNL)
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range
DNL is the measure of the variation in analog value, normalized
to full scale, associated with a 1 LSB change in digital input
code.
The difference, in dB, between the rms amplitude of the output
signal and the peak spurious signal over the specified bandwidth.
Total Harmonic Distortion
Monotonicity
THD is the ratio of the sum of the rms value of the first six
harmonic components to the rms value of the measured output
signal. It is expressed as a percentage or in decibels (dB).
A D/A converter is monotonic if the output either increases or
remains constant as the digital input increases.
Offset Error
Signal-to-Noise and Distortion (S/N+D, SINAD) Ratio
S/N+D is the ratio of the rms value of the measured output
signal to the rms sum of all other spectral components below the
Nyquist frequency, including harmonics but excluding dc. The
value for S/N+D is expressed in decibels.
The deviation of the output current from the ideal of zero is
called offset error. For IOUTA, 0 mA output is expected when
the inputs are all 0s. For IOUTB, 0 mA output is expected
when all inputs are set to 1s.
Gain Error
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB)
The difference between the actual and ideal output span. The
actual span is determined by the output when all inputs are set
to 1s minus the output when all inputs are set to 0s.
For a sine wave, SINAD can be expressed in terms of the num-
ber of bits. Using the following formula,
N = (SINAD – 1.76)/6.02
Output Compliance Range
it is possible to get a measure of performance expressed as N,
the effective number of bits.
The range of allowable voltage at the output of a current-output
DAC. Operation beyond the maximum compliance limits may
cause either output stage saturation or breakdown, resulting in
nonlinear performance.
Thus, effective number of bits for a device for sine wave inputs
at a given input frequency can be calculated directly from its
measured SINAD.
Temperature Drift
Passband
Temperature drift is specified as the maximum change from the
ambient (+25°C) value to the value at either TMIN or TMAX. For
offset and gain drift, the drift is reported in ppm of full-scale
range (FSR) per °C. For reference drift, the drift is reported in
ppm per °C.
Frequency band in which any input applied therein passes
unattenuated to the DAC output.
Stopband Rejection
The amount of attenuation of a frequency outside the passband
applied to the DAC, relative to a full-scale signal applied at the
DAC input within the passband.
Power Supply Rejection
The maximum change in the full-scale output as the supplies
are varied from nominal to minimum and maximum specified
voltages.
Group Delay
Number of input clocks between an impulse applied at the
device input and peak DAC output current.
Settling Time
The time required for the output to reach and remain within a
specified error band about its final value, measured from the
start of the output transition.
Impulse Response
Response of the device to an impulse applied to the input.
Glitch Impulse
Asymmetrical switching times in a DAC give rise to undesired
output transients that are quantified by a glitch impulse. It is
specified the net area of the glitch in pV-s.

AD9761
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
four most significant bits (MSBs). The next four bits or middle
bits consist of 15 equal current sources whose value are 1/16th
of an MSB current source. The remaining LSBs are binary
weighted fractions of the middle-bits current sources. All of
these current sources are switched to one or the other of two
output nodes (i.e., IOUTA or IOUTB) via PMOS differential
current switches.
Figure 22 shows a simplified block diagram of the AD9761. The
AD9761 is a complete dual channel, high speed, 10-bit CMOS
DAC capable of operating up to a 40 MHz clock rate. It has
been optimized for the transmit section of wideband communi-
cation systems employing I and Q modulation schemes. Excel-
lent matching characteristics between channels reduces the need
for any external calibration circuitry. Dual matching 2× interpo-
lation filters included in the I and Q data path simplify any post,
bandlimiting filter requirements. The AD9761 interfaces with a
single 10-bit digital input bus that supports interleaved I and Q
input data.
The full-scale output current, IOUTFS, of each DAC is regulated
from the same voltage reference and control amplifier, thus
ensuring excellent gain matching and drift characteristics be-
tween DACs. IOUTFS can be set from 1 mA to 10 mA via an
external resistor, RSET. The external resistor in combination
with both the reference control amplifier and voltage reference,
VREFIO, sets the reference current, IREF, which is mirrored over
to the segmented current sources with the proper scaling factor.

The I and Q DACs are simultaneously updated on the rising
edge of CLOCK with digital data from their respective 2× digi-
tal interpolation filters. The 2× interpolation filters essentially
multiplies the input data rate of each DAC by a factor of two,
relative to its original input data rate while simultaneously re-
ducing the magnitude of first image associated with the DAC’s
original input data rate. Since the AD9761 supports a single
10-bit digital bus with interleaved I and Q input data, the origi-
nal I and Q input data rate before interpolation is one-half the
CLOCK rate. After interpolation, the data rate into each I and
Q DAC becomes equal to the CLOCK rate.

Figure 22. Dual DAC Functional Block Diagram
The benefits of an interpolation filter are clearly seen in Figure
23, which shows an example of the frequency and time domain
representation of a discrete time sine wave signal before and
after it is applied to a digital interpolation filter. Images of the
sine wave signal appear around multiples of the DAC’s input
data rate as predicted by the sampling theory. These undesirable
images will also appear at the output of a reconstruction DAC,
although modified by the DAC’s sin(x)/(x) response. In many
bandlimited applications, these images must be suppressed by
an analog filter following the DAC. The complexity of this ana-
log filter is typically determined by the proximity of the desired
fundamental to the first image and the required amount of im-
age suppression.
Referring to Figure 22, the AD9761 consists of an analog sec-
tion and a digital section. The analog section includes matched
I and Q 10-bit DACs, a 1.20 V bandgap voltage reference and a
reference control amplifier. The digital section includes: two 2×
interpolation filters; segment decoding logic; and some addi-
tional digital input interface circuitry. The analog and digital
sections of the AD9761 have separate power supply inputs (i.e.,
AVDD and DVDD) that can operate over a 2.7 V to 5.5 V
range.
Each DAC consists of a large PMOS current source array ca-
pable of providing up to 10 mA of full-scale current, IOUTFS
.
Each array is divided into 15 equal currents that make up the

AD9761
Referring to Figure 23, the “new” first image associated with the
DAC’s higher data rate after interpolation is “pushed” out fur-
ther relative to the input signal. The “old” first image associated
with the lower DAC data rate before interpolation is suppressed
by the digital filter. As a result, the transition band for the ana-
log reconstruction filter is increased thus reducing the complex-
ity of the analog filter.
Note, the full-scale value of VIOUTA and VIOUTB should not
exceed the specified output compliance range to maintain speci-
fied distortion and linearity performance.
The differential voltage, VIDIFF, appearing across IOUTA and
IOUTB is:
V
IDIFF =(IIOUTA – IIOUTB) × RLOAD
(7)
Substituting the values of IIOUTA, IIOUTB, and IREF; VIDIFF can be
expressed as:
The digital interpolation filters for I and Q paths are identical
43 tap halfband symmetric FIR filters. Each filter receives de-
interleaved I or Q data from the digital input interface. The
input CLOCK signal is internally divided by two to generate the
filter clock. The filters are implemented with two parallel paths
running at the filter clock rate. The output from each path is
selected on opposite phases of the filter clock, thus producing
interpolated filtered output data at the input clock rate. The
frequency response and impulse response of these filters are
shown in Figures 2a and 2b. Table I lists the idealized filter
coefficients that correspond to the filter’s impulse response.
V
IDIFF ={(2 DAC CODE – 1023)/1024)} ×
(16 RLOAD/RSET) × VREFIO
(8)
These last two equations highlight some of the advantages of
operating the AD9761 differentially. First, differential operation
will help cancel common-mode error sources associated with
I
IOUTA and IIOUTB such as noise and distortion. Second, the
differential code dependent current and subsequent voltage,
VIDIFF, is twice the value of the single-ended voltage output (i.e.,
VIOUTA or VIOUTB) thus providing twice the signal power to the
load.
The digital section of the AD9761 also includes an input inter-
face section designed to support interleaved I and Q input data
from a single 10-bit bus. This section de-interleaves the I and Q
input data while ensuring its proper pairing for the 2× interpola-
tion filters. A SLEEP/RESET input serves a dual function by
providing a reset function for this section as well as providing
power down functionality. Refer to the DIGITAL INPUT AND
INTERFACE CONSIDERATIONS and SLEEP/RESET
sections for a more detailed discussion.
REFERENCE OPERATION
The AD9761 contains an internal 1.20 V bandgap reference
which can be easily disabled and overridden by an external
reference. REFIO serves as either an input or output depending
on whether the internal or an external reference is selected. If
REFLO is tied to ACOM as shown in Figure 24, the internal
reference is activated and REFIO provides a 1.20 V output. In
this case, the internal reference must be filtered externally with a
ceramic chip capacitor of 0.1 µF or greater from REFIO to
REFLO. Also, REFIO should be buffered with an external
amplifier having a low input bias current (i.e., <1 µA) if any
additional loading is required.
DAC TRANSFER FUNCTION
Each I and Q DAC provides complementary current output
pins: IOUT(A/B) and QOUT(A/B) respectively. Note, QOUTA
and QOUTB operate identically to IOUTA and IOUTB.
IOUTA will provide a near full-scale current output, IOUTFS
,
when all bits are high (i.e., DAC CODE = 1023) while IOUTB,
the complementary output, provides no current. The current
output of IOUTA and IOUTB are a function of both the input
code and IOUTFS and can be expressed as:

As previously mentioned, IOUTFS is a function of the reference
current, IREF, which is nominally set by a reference, VREFIO, and
external resistor, RSET. It can be expressed as:
Figure 24. Internal Reference Configuration
The internal reference can also be disabled by connecting REFLO
to AVDD. In this case, an external reference may then be ap-
plied to REFIO as shown in Figure 25. The external reference
may provide either a fixed reference voltage to enhance accuracy
and drift performance or a varying reference voltage for gain
control. Note that the 0.1 µF compensation capacitor is not
required since the internal reference is disabled and the high
input impedance (i.e., 1 MΩ) of REFIO minimizes any loading
of the external reference.

where:

The two current outputs will typically drive a resistive load
directly or via a transformer. If dc coupling is required, IOUTA
and IOUTB should be directly connected to matching resistive
loads, RLOAD, which are tied to analog common, ACOM. Note,
RLOAD represents the equivalent load resistance seen by IOUTA
or IOUTB. The single-ended voltage output appearing at IOUTA
and IOUTB pins is simply:

Depending on the requirements of the application, IREF can be
adjusted by varying either RSET, or in the external reference
mode, by varying the REFIO voltage. IREF can be varied for a
fixed RSET by disabling the internal reference and varying the
voltage of REFIO over its compliance range of 1.25 V to 0.10 V.
REFIO can be driven by a single-supply amplifier or DAC thus
allowing IREF to be varied for a fixed RSET. Since the input im-
pedance of REFIO is approximately 1 MΩ, a simple, low cost
R-2R ladder DAC configured in the voltage mode topology may
be used to control the gain. This circuit is shown in Figure 26
using the AD7524 and an external 1.2 V reference, the AD1580.

Figure 25. External Reference Configuration
As previously stated, both the I and Q DACs produce two
complementary current outputs which may be configured for
single-end or differential operation. IIOUTA and IIOUTB can be
converted into complementary single-ended voltage outputs,
VIOUTA and VIOUTB, via a load resistor, RLOAD, as described in
the DAC TRANSFER SECTION by Equations 5 through 8.
The differential voltage, VIDIFF, existing between VIOUTA and
VIOUTB can also be converted to a single-ended voltage via a
transformer or differential amplifier configuration.
REFERENCE CONTROL AMPLIFIER
The AD9761 also contains an internal control amplifier which is
used to simultaneously regulate both DAC’s full-scale output
current, IOUTFS. Since the I and Q IOUTFS are derived from the
same voltage reference and control circuitry, excellent gain
matching is ensured. The control amplifier is configured as a
V-I converter as shown in Figure 25 such that its current out-
put, IREF, is determined by the ratio of the VREFIO and an exter-
nal resistor, RSET, as stated in Equation (4). IREF is copied over
to the segmented current sources with the proper scaling factor
to set IOUTFS as stated in Equation (3).
Figure 27 shows an equivalent circuit of the AD9761’s I (or Q)
DAC output. It consists of a parallel array of PMOS current
sources in which each current source is switched to either
IOUTA or IOUTB via a differential PMOS switch. As a result,
the equivalent output impedance of IOUTA and IOUTB re-
mains quite high (i.e., >100 kΩ and 5 pF).
The control amplifier allows a wide (10:1) adjustment span of
I
OUTFS over a 1 mA to 10 mA range by setting IREF between
62.5 µA and 625 µA. The wide adjustment span of IOUTFS pro-
vides several application benefits. The first benefit relates di-
rectly to the power dissipation of the AD9761’s analog supply,
AVDD, which is proportional to IOUTFS (refer to the POWER
DISSIPATION section). The second benefit relates to the
20 dB adjustment span which may be useful for system gain
control purposes.
AD9761
AVDD
Optimum noise and dynamic performance for the AD9761 is
obtained with a 0.1 µF external capacitor installed between
COMP2 and AVDD. The bandwidth of the reference control
amplifier is limited to approximately 5 kHz with a 0.1 µF ca-
pacitor installed. Since the –3 dB bandwidth corresponds to the
dominant pole and hence its dominant time constant, the set-
tling time of the control amplifier to a stepped reference input
response can be easily determined. Note, the output of the
control amplifier, COMP2, is internally compensated via a
50 pF capacitor thus ensuring its stability if no external capaci-
tor is added.

The positive output compliance range is slightly dependent on
the full-scale output current, IOUTFS. It degrades slightly from
its nominal 1.25 V for an IOUTFS = 10 mA to 1.00 V for an
IOUTFS = 2 mA. Applications requiring the AD9761’s output
(i.e., VOUTA and/or VOUTB) to extend to its output compliance
range should size RLOAD accordingly. Operation beyond this
compliance range will adversely affect the AD9761’s linearity
performance and subsequently degrade its distortion perfor-
mance. Note, the optimum distortion performance of the
AD9761 is obtained by restricting its output(s) as seen at
IOUT(A/B) and QOUT(A/B) to within ±0.5 V.
while data is repeatedly writing to the AD9761, the data will be
written into the selected filter register at half the input data rate
since the data is always assumed to be interleaved.
The state machine controls the generation of the divided clock
and hence pairing of I and Q data inputs. After the AD9761 is
reset, the state machine keeps track of the paired I and Q data.
The state transition diagram is shown in Figure 29, in which all
the states are defined. A transition in state occurs upon the
rising edge of CLOCK and is a function of the current state as
well as status of SELECT, WRITE and SLEEP. The state ma-
chine is reset on the first rising CLOCK edge while RESET
remains high. Upon RESET returning low, a state transition will
occur on the first rising edge of CLOCK. The most recent I and Q
data samples are transferred to the correct interpolation filter
only upon entering state FILTER DATA.
DIGITAL INPUTS AND INTERLEAVED INTERFACE
CONSIDERATIONS
The AD9761 digital interface consists of 10 data input pins, a
clock input pin, and three control pins. It is designed to support
a clock rate up to 40 MSPS. 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 (or QOUTA) produces a full-scale output current when
all data bits are at Logic 1. IOUTB (or QOUTB) produces a
complementary output, with the full-scale current split between
the two outputs as a function of the input code.
Note, it is possible to ensure proper pairing of I and Q
data inputs without issuing RESET high. This may be
accomplished by writing two or more successive Q data
inputs followed by a clock. In this case, the state machine
will advance to either the RESET or FILTER DATA state.
The state machine will advance to the ONE-I state upon
writing I data followed by a clock.

An example helps illustrate the digital timing and control re-
quirements to ensure proper pairing of I and Q data. In this
example, the AD9761 is assumed to interface with a host pro-
cessor on a dedicated data bus and the state machine is reset by
asserting a Logic Level “1” to the RESET/SLEEP input for a
duration of one clock cycle. In the timing diagram shown in
Figure 30, WRITE and CLOCK are tied together while SELECT
is updated at the same instance as DATA. Since SELECT is
high upon RESET returning low, I data is latched into the I
input register on the first rising WRITE. On the next rising
WRITE edge, the Q data is latched into its input register and
the outputs of both input registers are latched into their respec-
tive I and Q filter registers. The sequence of events is repeated
on the next rising WRITE edge with the new I data being
latched into the I input register.

Figure 28. Block Diagram of Digital Interface
The AD9761 interfaces with a single 10-bit digital input bus
that supports interleaved I and Q input data. Figure 28 shows a
simplified block diagram of the digital interface circuitry consist-
ing of two banks of edge triggered registers, two multiplexers,
and a state machine. Interleaved I and Q input data is presented
at the DATA input bus, where it is then latched into the se-
lected I or Q input register on the rising edge of the WRITE
input. The output of these input registers is transferred in pairs
to their respective interpolator filters’ register after each Q write
on the rising edge of the CLOCK input (refer to Timing Dia-
gram in Figure 2). A state machine ensures the proper pairing of
I and Q input data to the interpolation filter’s inputs.
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 SELECT signal at the time of the rising edge of the WRITE
signal determines which input register latches the input data. If
SELECT is high around the rising edge of WRITE the data is
latched into the I register of the AD9761. If SELECT is low
around the rising edge of the WRITE, the data is latched into
the Q register of the AD9761. If SELECT is kept in one state
The internal digital circuitry of the AD9761 is capable of oper-
ating 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, VOH(MAX)
of the TTL drivers. A DVDD of 3 V to 3.3 V will typically

factors which include: (1) AVDD and DVDD, the power supply

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 mini-
mum setup and hold-times of the AD9761 as well as its re-
quired min/max input logic level thresholds. The external clock
driver circuitry should provide the AD9761 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 can
manifest itself as phase noise on a reconstructed waveform.
Figure 32. IAVDD vs. IOUTFS
Conversely, IDVDD is dependent on both the digital input wave-
form, fCLOCK, and digital supply DVDD. Figures 33 and 34 show
IDVDD as a function of a full-scale sine wave output ratio’s (fOUT
/
fCLOCK) for various update rate with DVDD = 5 V and DVDD =
3 V respectively.

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
AD9761 digital inputs and driver outputs may be helpful in
reducing any overshooting and ringing at the digital inputs,
which contributes to data feedthrough. Operating the AD9761
with reduced logic swings and a corresponding digital supply
(DVDD) will also reduce data feedthrough.

RESET/SLEEP MODE OPERATION
The RESET/SLEEP input can be used either to power-down
the AD9761 or reset its internal digital interface logic. If the
RESET/ SLEEP input is asserted for greater than one clock
cycle but under four clock cycles by applying a logic level “1,”
the internal state machine will be reset. If the RESET/SLEEP
input is asserted for four clock cycles or longer, the power-down
function of the AD9761 will be initiated. The power-down
function turns off the output current and reduces the supply
current to less than 9 mA over the specified supply range of
2.7 V to 5.5 V and temperature range.

The power-up and power-down characteristics of the AD9761 is
dependent upon the value of the compensation capacitor con-
nected to COMP1 and COMP3. With a nominal value of 0.1 µF,
the AD9761 takes less than 5 µs to power down and approxi-
mately 3.25 ms to power back up.

resistor, RDIFF, may be inserted in applications in which the
output of the transformer is connected to the load, RLOAD, via a
passive reconstruction filter or cable requiring double termina-
tion. RDIFF is determined by the transformer’s impedance ratio
and provides the proper source termination which results in a

OUTPUT CONFIGURATIONS
The following sections illustrate some typical output configura-
tions for the AD9761. Unless otherwise noted, it is assumed
that IOUTFS is set to a nominal 10 mA. For applications requir-
ing the optimum dynamic performance, a differential output
configuration is suggested. A differential output configuration
may consist of either an RF transformer or a differential op amp
configuration. The transformer configuration provides the opti-
mum high frequency performance and is recommended for any
application allowing for ac coupling. The differential op amp
configuration is suitable for applications requiring dc coupling, a
bipolar output, signal gain, and/or level shifting.
be dissipated across RDIFF
.
DIFFERENTIAL USING AN OP AMP
An op amp can also be used to perform a differential to single-
ended conversion as shown in Figure 36. The AD9761 is config-
ured with two equal load resistors, RLOAD, of 50 Ω. The differential
voltage developed across IOUTA and IOUTB is converted to a
single-ended signal via the differential op amp configuration. An
optional capacitor can be installed across IOUTA and IOUTB
forming a real pole in a low-pass filter. The addition of this
capacitor also enhances the op amps distortion performance by
preventing the DACs high slewing output from overloading the
op amp’s input.
A single-ended output is suitable for applications requiring a
unipolar voltage output. A positive unipolar output voltage will
result if IOUTA and/or IOUTB is connected to an appropri-
ately sized load resistor, RLOAD, referred to ACOM. This
configuration may be more suitable for a single-supply system
requiring a dc coupled, ground referred output voltage. Alterna-
tively, an amplifier could be configured as an I-V converter thus
converting IOUTA or IOUTB into a negative unipolar voltage. This
configuration provides the best dc linearity since IOUTA or
IOUTB is maintained at a virtual ground.

DIFFERENTIAL COUPLING USING A TRANSFORMER
An RF transformer can be used to perform a differential-to-
single-ended signal conversion as shown in Figure 35. A differen-
tially coupled transformer output provides the optimum distortion
performance for output signals whose spectral content lies within
the transformers passband. An RF transformer such as the Mini
Circuits T1-1T provides excellent rejection of common-mode
distortion (i.e., even-order harmonics) and noise over a wide
frequency range. It also provides electrical isolation and the
ability to deliver twice the power to the load. Transformers with
different impedance ratios may also be used for impedance
matching purposes. Note that the transformer provides ac cou-
pling only.

The common-mode rejection of this configuration is typically
determined by the resistor matching. In this circuit, the differen-
tial op amp circuit using the AD8042 is configured to provide
some additional signal gain. The op amp must operate from a
dual supply since its output is approximately ±1.0 V. A high
speed amplifier capable of preserving the differential performance
of the AD9761 while meeting other system level objectives (i.e.,
cost, power) should be selected. The op amps differential gain, its
gain setting resistor values, and full-scale output swing capabili-
ties should all be considered when optimizing this circuit.

The differential circuit shown in Figure 37 provides the neces-
sary level-shifting required in a single supply system. In this
case, AVDD, which is the positive analog supply for both the
AD9761 and the op amp is also used to level-shift the differen-
tial output of the AD9761 to midsupply (i.e., AVDD/2).

POWER AND GROUNDING CONSIDERATIONS
In systems seeking to simultaneously achieve high speed and
high performance, the implementation and construction of the
printed circuit board design is often as important as the circuit
design. Proper RF techniques must be used in device selection;
placement and routing; and supply bypassing and grounding.
The evaluation board for the AD9761, which uses a four-layer
PC board, serves as a good example for the above mentioned
considerations. The evaluation board provides an illustration of
the recommended printed circuit board ground, power and
signal plane layout.
SINGLE-ENDED UNBUFFERED VOLTAGE OUTPUT
Figure 38 shows the AD9761 configured to provide a unipolar
output range of approximately 0 V to +0.5 V since the nominal
full-scale current, IOUTFS, of 10 mA flows through an RLOAD of
50 Ω. In the case of a doubly terminated low-pass filter, RLOAD
represents the equivalent load resistance seen by IOUTA or
IOUTB. The unused output (IOUTA or IOUTB) can be con-
nected to ACOM directly or via a matching RLOAD. Different
values of IOUTFS and RLOAD can be selected as long as the posi-
tive compliance range is adhered to.
Proper grounding and decoupling should be a primary objective
in any high speed, high resolution system. The AD9761 features
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
as closely as physically as possible to DCOM.

For those applications requiring 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 40. 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.

DIFFERENTIAL, DC COUPLED OUTPUT
CONFIGURATION WITH LEVEL SHIFTING
Some applications may require the AD9761 differential outputs
to interface to a single supply quadrature upconverter. Although
most of these devices provide differential inputs, its common-
mode voltage range does not typically extend to ground. As a
result, the ground-referenced output signals shown in Figure 38
must be level shifted to within the specified common-mode
range of the single-supply quadrature upconverter. Figure 39
shows the addition of a resistor pull-up network which provides
the level shifting function. The use of matched resistor networks
will maintain maximum gain matching and minimum offset
performance between the I and Q channels. Note, the resistor
pull-up network will introduce approximately 6 dB of signal
attenuation.

AD9761
Maintaining low noise on power supplies and ground is critical
to obtaining optimum results from the AD9761. 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.
A common and traditional implementation of a QAM modula-
tor is shown in Figure 41. The modulation is performed in the
analog domain in which two DACs are used to generate the
baseband I and Q components, respectively. Each component is
then typically applied to a Nyquist filter before being applied to
a quadrature mixer. The matching Nyquist filters shapes and
limits each component’s spectral envelope while minimizing
intersymbol interference. The DAC is typically updated at the
QAM symbol rate or possibly a multiple of it if an interpolating
filter precedes the DAC. The use of an interpolating filter typi-
cally eases the implementation and complexity of the analog
filter which can be a significant contributor to mismatches in
gain and phase between the two baseband channels. A quadra-
ture mixer modulates the I and Q components with in-phase
and quadrature phase carrier frequency and then sums the two
outputs to provide the QAM signal.
All analog ground pins of the DAC, reference and other analog
components should be tied directly to the analog ground plane.
The two ground planes should be connected by a path 1/8 to 1/4
inch wide underneath, or within 1/2 inch of the DAC to main-
tain optimum performance. Care should be taken to ensure that
the ground plane is uninterrupted over crucial signal paths. On
the digital side, this includes the digital input lines running to
the DAC as well as any clock signals. On the analog side, this
includes the DAC output signal, reference signal and the supply
feeders.

The use of wide runs or planes in the routing of power lines is
also recommended. This serves the dual role of providing a low
series impedance power supply to the part, as well as providing
some “free” capacitive decoupling to the appropriate ground
plane. It is essential that care be taken in the layout of signal and
power ground interconnects to avoid inducing extraneous volt-
age drops in the signal ground paths. Its is recommended that
all connections be short, direct and as physically close to the
package as possible, in order to minimize the sharing of conduc-
tion paths between different currents. When runs exceed an inch
in length, strip line techniques with proper termination resistor
should be considered. The necessity and value of this resistor
will be dependent upon the logic family used.

EVALUATION BOARD
The AD9761-EB is an evaluation board for the AD9761 dual
10-bit, 40 MSPS DAC. Careful attention to layout and circuit
design along with prototyping area, allows the user to easily and
effectively evaluate the AD9761. This board allows the user the
flexibility to operate each of the AD9761 DACs in a single-
ended or differential output configuration. Each of the DACs’
single-ended outputs are terminated in a 50 Ω resistor. Evaluation
using a transformer coupled output can be accomplished simply
by installing a Minicircuit transformer (i.e., Model T2-1T) into
the available socket.
For a more detailed discussion of the implementation and con-
struction of high speed, mixed signal printed circuit boards,
refer to Analog Devices’ application notes AN-280 and AN-333.
APPLICATIONS
Using the AD9761 for QAM Modulation
The digital inputs are designed to be driven directly from vari-
ous word generators with the onboard option to add a resistor
network for proper load termination. Separate 50 Ω terminated
SMA connectors are also provided for the CLOCK, WRITE
and SELECT inputs. Provisions are also made to operate the
AD9761 with either the internal or an external reference as well
as to exercise the power-down feature.
QAM is one of the most widely used digital modulation schemes
in digital communication systems. This modulation technique
can be found in both FDM as well as spread spectrum (i.e.,
CDMA) based systems. A QAM signal is a carrier frequency
that is modulated both in amplitude (i.e., AM modulation) and
in phase (i.e., PM modulation). It can be generated by indepen-
dently modulating two carriers of identical frequency but with a
90° phase difference. This results in an in-phase (I) carrier com-
ponent and a quadrature (Q) carrier component at a 90° phase
shift with respect to the I component. The I and Q components
are then summed to provide a QAM signal at the specified car-
rier frequency.
