GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The AD9775 is the 14-bit member of the AD977x pin-compatible,  
high performance, programmable 2×/4×/8× interpolating TxDAC+  
family. The AD977x family features a serial port interface (SPI)  
providing a high level of programmability, thus allowing for  
enhanced system-level options. These options include: select-  
able 2×/4×/8× interpolation filters; fS/2, fS/4, or fS/8 digital  
quadrature modulation with image rejection; a direct IF mode;  
programmable channel gain and offset control; programmable  
internal clock divider; straight binary or two’s complement data  
interface; and a single-port or dual-port data interface.  
Two’s Complement/Straight Binary Data Coding  
Dual-Port or Single-Port Interleaved Input Data  
Single 3.3 V Supply Operation  
Power Dissipation: Typical 1.2 W @ 3.3 V  
On-Chip 1.2 V Reference  
The selectable 2×/4×/8× interpolation filters simplify the require-  
ments of the reconstruction filters while simultaneously enhancing  
the TxDAC+ family’s pass-band noise/distortion performance.  
The independent channel gain and offset adjust registers allow  
the user to calibrate LO feedthrough and sideband suppression

errors associated with analog quadrature modulators. The 6 dB  
of gain adjustment range can also be used to control the output  
power level of each DAC.  
1.  
The AD9775 is the 14-bit member of the AD977x pin-  
compatible, high performance, programmable 2×/4×/8×  
interpolating TxDAC+ family.  
The AD9775 features the ability to perform fS/2, fS/4, and fS/8  
digital modulation and image rejection when combined with an  
analog quadrature modulator. In this mode, the AD9775 ac-  
cepts I and Q complex data (representing a single or multicarrier  
waveform), generates a quadrature modulated IF signal along with  
its orthogonal representation via its dual DACs, and presents  
these two reconstructed orthogonal IF carriers to an analog  
quadrature modulator to complete the image rejection  
upconversion process. Another digital modulation mode (i.e.,  
the Direct IF Mode) allows the original baseband signal repre-  
sentation to be frequency translated such that pairs of images fall  
at multiples of one-half the DAC update rate.  
2.  
3.  
Direct IF transmission capability for 70 MHz + IFs through  
a novel digital mixing process.  
fS/2, fS/4, and fS/8 digital quadrature modulation and user-  
selectable image rejection to simplify/remove cascaded  
SAW filter stages.  
4.  
5.  
6.  
7.  
A 2×/4×/8× user-selectable interpolating filter eases data  
rate and output signal reconstruction filter requirements.  
User-selectable two’s complement/straight binary data  
coding.  
User-programmable channel gain control over 1 dB  
range in 0.01 dB increments.  
The AD977x family includes a flexible clock interface accepting  
differential or single-ended sine wave or digital logic inputs. An  
internal PLL clock multiplier is included and generates the  
necessary on-chip high frequency clocks. It can also be disabled  
to allow the use of a higher performance external clock source.  
An internal programmable divider simplifies clock generation in  
the converter when using an external clock source. A flexible data  
input interface allows for straight binary or two’s complement  
formats and supports single-port interleaved or dual-port data.  
User-programmable channel offset control 10% over  
the FSR.  
8.  
9.  
Ultra high speed 400 MSPS DAC conversion rate.  
Internal clock divider provides data rate clock for easy  
interfacing.  
10. Flexible clock input with single-ended or differential input,  
CMOS, or 1 V p-p LO sine wave input capability.  
11. Low power: Complete CMOS DAC operates on 1.2 W  
from a 3.1 V to 3.5 V single supply. The 20 mA full-scale  
current can be reduced for lower power operation and  
several sleep functions are provided to reduce power dur-  
ing idle periods.  
Dual high performance DAC outputs provide a differential  
current output programmable over a 2 mA to 20 mA range. The  
AD9775 is manufactured on an advanced 0.35 micron CMOS  
process, operates from a single supply of 3.1 V to 3.5 V, and  
consumes 1.2 W of power.  
12. On-chip voltage reference: The AD9775 includes a 1.20 V  
temperature compensated band gap voltage reference.  
Targeted at wide dynamic range, multicarrier and multistandard  
systems, the superb baseband performance of the AD9775 is ideal  
for wideband CDMA, multicarrier CDMA, multicarrier TDMA,  
multicarrier GSM, and high performance systems employing  
high order QAM modulation schemes. The image rejection  
feature simplifies and can help to reduce the number of signal  
band filters needed in a transmit signal chain. The direct IF  
mode helps to eliminate a costly mixer stage for a variety of  
communications systems.

With the PLL enabled, this pin indicates the state of the PLL. A read of a  
Logic “1” indicates the PLL is in the locked state. Logic “0” indicates the  
PLL has not achieved lock. This pin may also be programmed to act as  
either an input or output (Address 02h, Bit 3) DATACLK signal running at

IQSEL/P2B13 (MSB)  
In “1” port mode, IQSEL = 1 followed by a rising edge of the differential  
input clock will latch the data into the I channel input register. IQSEL = 0  
will latch the data into the Q channel input register. In “2” port mode, this  
pin becomes the port “2” MSB.  
32  
ONEPORTCLK/P2B12  
With the PLL disabled and the AD9775 in “1” port mode, this pin becomes  
a clock output that runs at twice the input data rate of the I and Q channels.  
This allows the AD9775 to accept and demux interleaved I and Q data to  
the I and Q input registers.

In the case where SDIO is an input, SDO acts as an output. When SDIO  
becomes an output, SDO enters a High-Z state.  
Bidirectional Data Pin. Data direction is controlled by Bit 7 of Register  
Address 00h. The default setting for this bit is “0,” which sets SDIO as an input.  
Data input to the SPI port is registered on the rising edge of SPI_CLK.  
Data output on the SPI port is registered on the falling edge.  
Chip Select/SPI Data Synchronization. On momentary logic high, resets  
SPI port logic and initializes instruction cycle.  
Logic “1” resets all of the SPI port registers, including Address 00h, to their  
default values. A software reset can also be done by writing a Logic “1” to  
SPI Register 00h, Bit 5. However, the software reset has no effect on the bits  
in Address 00h.

DEFINITIONS OF SPECIFICATIONS  
Monotonicity  
A D/A converter is monotonic if the output either increases  
or remains constant as the digital input increases.  
Adjacent Channel Power Ratio (ACPR)  
A ratio in dBc between the measured power within a channel  
relative to its adjacent channel.  
Offset Error  
The deviation of the output current from the ideal of “0” is  
called offset error. For IOUTA, 0 mA output is expected when the  
inputs are all “0.” For IOUTB, 0 mA output is expected when all  
inputs are set to “1.”  
Complex Image Rejection  
In a traditional two-part upconversion, two images are created  
around the second IF frequency. These images are redundant  
and have the effect of wasting transmitter power and system  
bandwidth. By placing the real part of a second complex modu-  
lator in series with the first complex modulator, either the upper  
or lower frequency image near the second IF can be rejected.  
Output Compliance Range  
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.  
Complex Modulation  
The process of passing the real and imaginary components of a  
signal through a complex modulator (transfer function = ejt  
=
Pass Band  
cost + jsint) and realizing real and imaginary components on  
the modulator output.  
Frequency band in which any input applied therein passes  
unattenuated to the DAC output.  
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)  
Power Supply Rejection  
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 maximum change in the full-scale output as the supplies  
are varied from minimum to maximum specified voltages.  
Gain Error  
Settling Time  
The difference between the actual and ideal output span. The  
actual span is determined by the output when all inputs are set  
to “1,” minus the output when all inputs are set to “0.”  
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.  
Glitch Impulse  
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)  
Asymmetrical switching times in a DAC give rise to undesired  
output transients that are quantified by a glitch impulse. It is  
specified as the net area of the glitch in pV–S.  
SNR 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, excluding the first six harmonics and dc.  
The value for SNR is expressed in decibels.  
Group Delay  
Number of input clocks between an impulse applied at the  
device input and peak DAC output current. A half-band FIR  
filter has constant group delay over its entire frequency range.  
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range  
The difference, in dB, between the rms amplitude of the output  
signal and the peak spurious signal over the specified bandwidth.  
Impulse Response  
Stop-Band Rejection  
Response of the device to an impulse applied to the input.  
The amount of attenuation of a frequency outside the pass band  
applied to the DAC, relative to a full-scale signal applied at the  
DAC input within the pass band.  
Interpolation Filter  
If the digital inputs to the DAC are sampled at a multiple rate of  
fDATA (interpolation rate), a digital filter can be constructed  
with a sharp transition band near fDATA/2. Images that would  
typically appear around fDAC (output data rate) can be greatly  
suppressed.  
Temperature Drift  
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.  
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.  
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)  
THD is the ratio of the rms sum of the first six harmonic com-  
ponents to the rms value of the measured fundamental. It is  
expressed as a percentage or in decibels (dB).

Bit 3  
Bit 2  
Logic “1” enables zero stuffing mode for interpo-  
lation filters.  
Bit 7  
Logic “0” (default). Causes the SDIO pin to act as  
Default (“1”) enables the real mix mode. The I and  
Q data channels are individually modulated by fS/2,  
fS/4, or fS/8 after the interpolation filters. However, no  
complex modulation is done. In the complex mix  
mode (Logic “0”), the digital modulators on the I  
and Q data channels are coupled to create a digi-  
tal complex modulator. When the AD9775 is  
applied in conjunction with an external quadrature  
modulator, rejection can be achieved of either the  
higher or lower frequency image around the second  
IF frequency (i.e., the second IF frequency is the  
LO of the analog quadrature modulator external to  
the AD9775) according to the bit value of Register  
01h, Bit 1.

communications cycle. When set to “1,” SDIO  
can act as an input or output, depending on Bit 7 of  
the instruction byte.  
Bit 6  
Bit 5  
Logic “0” (default). Determines the direction  
(LSB/MSB first) of the communications and data  
transfer communications cycles. Refer to the section  
MSB/LSB Transfers for a detailed description.  
Writing a “1” to this bit resets the registers to their  
default values and restarts the chip. The RESET bit  
always reads back “0.” Register Address 00h bits are  
not cleared by this software reset. However, a high  
level at the RESET pin forces all registers, including  
those in Address 00h, to their default state.  
Bit 1  
Bit 0  
Logic “0” (default) causes the complex modulation  
to be of the form e–jt, resulting in the rejection of  
the higher frequency image when the AD9775 is used  
with an external quadrature modulator. A Logic “1”  
causes the modulation to be of the form e+jt, which  
causes rejection of the lower frequency image.

Power-Down. Logic “1” shuts down all analog and  
digital functions except for the SPI port.  
1R/2R Mode. The default (“0”) places the AD9775  
in two resistor mode. In this mode, the IREF currents  
for the I and Q DAC references are set separately by  
the RSET resistors on FSADJ1 and FSADJ2 (Pins  
59 and 60). In the 2R mode, assuming the coarse  
gain setting is full scale and the fine gain setting is  
zero, IFULLSCALE1 = 32 × VREF/FSADJ1 and  
IFULLSCALE2 = 32 × VREF/FSADJ2. With this bit set  
to “1,” the reference currents for both I and Q  
DACs are controlled by a single resistor on Pin 60.  
IFULLSCALE in one resistor mode for both of the I  
and Q DACs is half of what it would be in the 2R  
mode, assuming all other conditions (RSET, register  
settings) remain unchanged. The full-scale current  
of each DAC can still be set to 20 mA by choosing  
a resistor of half the value of the RSET value used in  
the 2R mode.  
In two port mode, a Logic “0” (default) causes Pin 8  
to act as a lock indicator for the internal PLL. A  
Logic “1” in this register causes Pin 8 to act as a  
DATACLK, either generating or acting as an input  
clock (see Register 02h, Bit 3) at the input data rate  
of the AD9775.

Logic “0” (default) causes data to be accepted on

Bit 6  
Logic “0” (default) places the AD9775 in two port  
mode. I and Q data enters the AD9775 via Ports 1  
and 2, respectively. A Logic “1” places the AD9775  
in one port mode in which interleaved I and Q data  
is applied to Port 1. See the Pin Function Descrip-  
tions for DATACLK/PLL_LOCK, IQSEL, and  
ONEPORTCLK for detailed information on how  
to use these modes.

reading this bit will give the status of the PLL. A  
Logic “1” indicates the PLL is locked. A Logic “0”  
indicates an unlocked state.

disabled, and this bit set to Logic “0,” it is recom-  
mended that DATACLK be buffered. When this bit  
is set to Logic “1,” DATACLK acts as a stronger  
driver capable of driving small capacitive loads.

AD9775  
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION  
SERIAL INTERFACE FOR REGISTER CONTROL  
The AD9775 dual interpolating DAC consists of two data chan-  
nels that can be operated completely independently or coupled to  
form a complex modulator in an image reject transmit architec-  
ture. Each channel includes three FIR filters, making the  
AD9775 capable of 2×, 4×, or 8× interpolation. High speed input  
and output data rates can be achieved within the following  
limitations.  
The AD9775 serial port is a flexible, synchronous serial com-  
munications port allowing easy interface to many industry  
standard microcontrollers and microprocessors. The serial I/O  
is compatible with most synchronous transfer formats, including  
both the Motorola SPI and Intel SSR protocols. The interface  
allows read/write access to all registers that configure the AD9775.  
Single- or multiple-byte transfers are supported as well as MSB  
first or LSB first transfer formats. The AD9775’s serial interface  
port can be configured as a single pin I/O (SDIO) or two unidi-  
rectional pins for in/out (SDIO/SDO).

GENERAL OPERATION OF THE SERIAL INTERFACE  
There are two phases to a communication cycle with the AD9775.  
Phase 1 is the instruction cycle, which is the writing of an instruc-  
tion byte into the AD9775 coincident with the first eight SCLK  
rising edges. The instruction byte provides the AD9775 serial  
port controller with information regarding the data transfer  
cycle, which is Phase 2 of the communication cycle. The Phase 1  
instruction byte defines whether the upcoming data transfer is  
read or write, the number of bytes in the data transfer, and the  
starting register address for the first byte of the data transfer.  
The first eight SCLK rising edges of each communication cycle  
are used to write the instruction byte into the AD9775.  
Both data channels contain a digital modulator capable of mix-  
ing the data stream with an LO of fDAC/2, fDAC/4, or fDAC/8,  
where fDAC is the output data rate of DAC. A zero stuffing fea-  
ture is also included and can be used to improve pass-band  
flatness for signals being attenuated by the SIN(x)/x characteristic  
of the DAC output. The speed of the AD9775, combined with  
the digital modulation capability, enables direct IF conversion  
architectures at 70 MHz and higher.  
A logic high on the CSB pin, followed by a logic low, will reset  
the SPI port timing to the initial state of the instruction cycle.  
This is true regardless of the present state of the internal regis-  
ters or the other signal levels present at the inputs to the SPI  
port. If the SPI port is in the midst of an instruction cycle or a  
data transfer cycle, none of the present data will be written.  
The digital modulators on the AD9775 can be coupled to form  
a complex modulator. By using this feature with an external analog  
quadrature modulator, such as Analog Devices’ AD8345, an  
image rejection architecture can be enabled. To optimize the  
image rejection capability, as well as LO feedthrough in this  
architecture, the AD9775 offers programmable (via the SPI port)  
gain and offset adjust for each DAC.  
The remaining SCLK edges are for Phase 2 of the communica-  
tion cycle. Phase 2 is the actual data transfer between the AD9775  
and the system controller. Phase 2 of the communication cycle  
is a transfer of 1, 2, 3, or 4 data bytes as determined by the  
instruction byte. Normally, using one multibyte transfer is the  
preferred method. However, single byte data transfers are useful  
to reduce CPU overhead when register access requires one byte  
only. Registers change immediately upon writing to the last bit of  
each transfer byte.  
Also included on the AD9775 are a phase-locked loop (PLL)  
clock multiplier and a 1.20 V band gap voltage reference. With  
the PLL enabled, a clock applied to the CLK+/CLK– inputs is  
frequency multiplied internally and generates all necessary  
internal synchronization clocks. Each 14-bit DAC provides two  
complementary current outputs whose full-scale currents can  
be determined either from a single external resistor or indepen-  
dently from two separate resistors (see 1R/2R mode). The  
AD9775 features a low jitter, differential clock input that  
provides excellent noise rejection while accepting a sine or  
square wave input. Separate voltage supply inputs are provided  
for each functional block to ensure optimum noise and distor-  
tion performance.

Bit 7 of the instruction byte determines whether a read or a  
write data transfer will occur after the instruction byte write.  
Logic high indicates read operation. Logic “0” indicates a write  
operation.  
Data is always written into the AD9775 on this pin. However,  
this pin can be used as a bidirectional data line. The configura-  
tion of this pin is controlled by Bit 7 of Register Address 00h.  
The default is Logic “0,” which configures the SDIO Pin as  
unidirectional.  
N1, N0  
Bits 6 and 5 of the instruction byte determine the number of  
bytes to be transferred during the data transfer cycle. The bit  
decodes are shown in the following table:  
SDO (Pin 53)—Serial Data Out  
Data is read from this pin for protocols that use separate lines  
for transmitting and receiving data. In the case where the AD9775  
operates in a single bidirectional I/O mode, this pin does not  
output data and is set to a high impedance state.

MSB/LSB TRANSFERS  
The AD9775 serial port can support both most significant bit  
(MSB) first or least significant bit (LSB) first data formats. This  
functionality is controlled by Register Address 00h, Bit 6. The  
default is MSB first. When this bit is set active high, the AD9775  
serial port is in LSB first format. That is, if the AD9775 is in  
LSB first mode, the instruction byte must be written from least-  
significant bit to most significant bit. Multibyte data transfers in  
MSB format can be completed by writing an instruction byte  
that includes the register address of the most significant byte. In  
MSB first mode, the serial port internal byte address generator  
decrements for each byte required of the multibyte communica-  
tion cycle. Multibyte data transfers in LSB first format can be  
completed by writing an instruction byte that includes the regis-  
ter address of the least significant byte. In LSB first mode, the  
serial port internal byte address generator increments for each  
byte required of the multibyte communication cycle.  
A4, A3, A2, A1, A0  
Bits 4, 3, 2, 1, and 0 of the instruction byte determine which  
register is accessed during the data transfer portion of the com-  
munications cycle. For multibyte transfers, this address is the  
starting byte address. The remaining register addresses are  
generated by the AD9775.  
SERIAL INTERFACE PORT PIN DESCRIPTIONS  
SCLK (Pin 55)—Serial Clock  
The serial clock pin is used to synchronize data to and from the  
AD9775 and to run the internal state machines. SCLK maxi-  
mum frequency is 15 MHz. All data input to the AD9775 is  
registered on the rising edge of SCLK. All data is driven out of  
the AD9775 on the falling edge of SCLK.  
CSB (Pin 56)—Chip Select  
The AD9775 serial port controller address will increment from  
1Fh to 00h for multibyte I/O operations if the MSB first mode is  
active. The serial port controller address will decrement from 00h  
to 1Fh for multibyte I/O operations if the LSB first mode is active.  
Active low input starts and gates a communication cycle. It  
allows more than one device to be used on the same serial com-  
munications lines. The SDO and SDIO pins will go to a high  
impedance state when this input is high. Chip select should stay  
low during the entire communication cycle.

NOTES ON SERIAL PORT OPERATION  
DAC OPERATION  
The AD9775 serial port configuration bits reside in Bits 6 and 7  
of Register Address 00h. It is important to note that the configura-  
tion changes immediately upon writing to the last bit of the register.  
For multibyte transfers, writing to this register may occur dur-  
ing the middle of the communication cycle. Care must be taken  
to compensate for this new configuration for the remaining  
bytes of the current communication cycle.  
The dual 14-bit DAC output of the AD9775, along with the  
reference circuitry, gain, and offset registers, is shown in Figure 6.  
Referring to the transfer functions in Equation 1, a reference  
current is set by the internal 1.2 V reference, the external RSET  
resistor, and the values in the coarse gain register. The fine gain  
DAC subtracts a small amount from this and the result is input  
to IDAC and QDAC, where it is scaled by an amount equal  
to 1024/24. Figures 7a and 7b show the scaling effect of the  
coarse and fine adjust DACs. IDAC and QDAC are PMOS  
current source arrays, segmented in a 5-4-5 configuration. The  
five most significant bits control an array of 31 current sources.  
The next four bits consist of 15 current sources whose values  
are all equal to 1/16 of an MSB current source. The five LSBs  
are binary weighted fractions of the middle bit’s current sources.  
All current sources are switched to either IOUTA or IOUTB, depend-  
ing on the input code.  
The same considerations apply to setting the reset bit in Register  
Address 00h. All other registers are set to their default values, but  
the software reset doesn’t affect the bits in Register Address 00h.  
It is recommended to use only single-byte transfers when chang-  
ing serial port configurations or initiating a software reset.  
A write to Bits 1, 2, and 3 of Address 00h with the same logic  
levels as for Bits 7, 6, and 5 (bit pattern: XY1001YX binary)  
allows the user to reprogram a lost serial port configuration and  
to reset the registers to their default values. A second write to  
Address 00h with reset bit low and serial port configuration as  
specified above (XY) reprograms the OSC IN multiplier set-  
ting. A changed fSYSCLK frequency is stable after a maximum of  
200 fMCLK cycles (equals wake-up time).  
The fine adjustment of the gain of each channel allows for  
improved balance of QAM modulated signals, resulting in  
improved modulation accuracy and image rejection. In the  
Applications section of this data sheet, performance data is  
included that shows to what degree image rejection can be im-  
proved when the AD9775 is used with an AD8345 quadrature  
modulator from ADI.

The offset control defines a small current that can be added to  
IOUTA or IOUTB (not both) on the IDAC and QDAC. The selec-  
tion of which IOUT this offset current is directed toward is  
programmable via Register 08h, Bit 7 (IDAC) and Register 0Ch,  
Bit 7 (QDAC). Figure 8 shows the scale of the offset current  
that can be added to one of the complementary outputs on the  
IDAC and QDAC. Offset control can be used for suppression of  
LO leakage resulting from modulation of dc signal components.  
If the AD9775 is dc-coupled to an external modulator, this  
feature can be used to cancel the output offset on the AD9775  
as well as the input offset on the modulator. Figure 9 shows a  
typical example of the effect that the offset control has on LO  
suppression.

AD8345 to be calibrated out as well. The LO suppression at  
the AD8345 output was optimized first by adjusting Offset  
Register 1 in the AD9775. When an optimal point was found  
(roughly Code 54), this code was held in Offset Register 1, and  
Offset Register 2 was adjusted. The resulting LO suppression  
is 70 dBFS. These are typical numbers and the specific code for  
optimization will vary from part to part.

PECL/ECL drivers require varying termination networks, the  
details of which are left out of Figures 10 and 11 but can be found  
in application notes such as AND8020/D from On Semiconductor.  
These networks depend on the assumed transmission line imped-  
ance and power supply voltage of the clock driver. Optimum  
performance of the AD9775 is achieved when the driver is placed  
very close to the AD9775 clock inputs, thereby negating any  
transmission line effects such as reflections due to mismatch.  
1R/2R MODE  
In the 2R mode, the reference current for each channel is set  
independently by the FSADJ resistor on that channel. The AD9775  
can be programmed to derive its reference current from a single  
resistor on Pin 60 by placing the part in the 1R mode. The trans-  
fer functions in Equation 1 are valid for the 2R mode. In the  
1R mode, the current developed in the single FSADJ resistor is  
split equally between the two channels. The result is that in the  
1R mode, a scale factor of one-half must be applied to the for-  
mulas in Equation 1. The full-scale DAC current in the 1R mode  
can still be set to as high as 20 mA by using the internal 1.2 V  
reference and a 950 resistor, instead of the 1.9 kresistor  
typically used in the 2R mode.  
The quality of the clock and data input signals is important in  
achieving optimum performance. The external clock driver cir-  
cuitry should provide the AD9775 with a low jitter clock input  
that meets the min/max logic levels while providing fast edges.  
Although fast clock edges help minimize any jitter that will manifest  
itself as phase noise on a reconstructed waveform, the high gain  
bandwidth product of the AD9775’s differential comparator can  
tolerate sine wave inputs as low as 0.5 V p-p, with minimal  
degradation of the output noise floor.  
CLOCK INPUT CONFIGURATIONS  
The clock inputs to the AD9775 can be driven differentially or  
single-ended. The internal clock circuitry has supply and ground  
(CLKVDD, CLKGND) separate from the other supplies on the  
chip to minimize jitter from internal noise sources.  
PROGRAMMABLE PLL  
CLKIN can function either as an input data rate clock (PLL  
enabled) or as a DAC data rate clock (PLL disabled) according  
to the state of Address 02h, Bit 7 in the SPI port register. The  
internal operation of the AD9775 clock circuitry in these two  
modes is illustrated in Figures 12 and 13.  
Figure 10 shows the AD9775 driven from a single-ended clock  
source. The CLK+/CLK– Pins form a differential input (CLKIN),  
so that the statically terminated input must be dc-biased to the  
midswing voltage level of the clock driven input.  
The PLL clock multiplier and distribution circuitry produce the  
necessary internal synchronized 1×, 2×, 4×, and 8× clocks for  
the rising edge triggered latches, interpolation filters, modula-  
tors, and DACs. This circuitry consists of a phase detector,  
charge pump, voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), prescaler,  
clock distribution, and SPI port control. The charge pump and  
VCO are powered from PLLVDD while the differential clock  
input buffer, phase detector, prescaler, and clock distribution  
are powered from CLKVDD. PLL lock status is indicated by  
the logic signal at the PLL_LOCK Pin, as well as by the status of  
Bit 1, Register 00h. To ensure optimum phase noise performance  
from the PLL clock multiplier and distribution, PLLVDD and  
CLKVDD should originate from the same clean analog supply.  
The speed of the VCO with the PLL enabled also has an effect  
on phase noise. Optimal phase noise with respect to VCO speed  
is achieved by running the VCO in the range of 450 MHz to  
550 MHz. The VCO speed is a function of the input data rate,  
the interpolation rate, and the VCO prescaler, according to the  
following function:

A configuration for differentially driving the clock inputs is given  
in Figure 11. DC-blocking capacitors can be used to couple a  
clock driver output whose voltage swings exceed CLKVDD or  
CLKGND. If the driver voltage swings are within the supply  
range of the AD9775, the dc-blocking capacitors and bias resistors  
are not necessary.

It is important to note that the resistor/capacitor needed for the  
PLL loop filter is internal on the AD9775. This will suffice unless  
the input data rate is below 10 MHz, in which case an external  
series RC is required between the LPF and PLLVDD pins.

The AD9775 has three voltage supplies: AVDD, DVDD, and  
CLKVDD. Figures 15, 16, and 17 show the current required  
from each of these supplies when each is set to the 3.3 V nominal  
specified for the AD9775. Power dissipation (PD) can easily be  
extracted by multiplying the given curves by 3.3. As Figure 15  
shows, IDVDD is very dependent on the input data rate, the interpo-  
lation rate, and the activation of the internal digital modulator.  
IDVDD, however, is relatively insensitive to the modulation rate  
by itself. In Figure 16, IAVDD shows the same type of sensitivity  
to the data, the interpolation rate, and the modulator function  
but to a much lesser degree (<10%). In Figure 17, ICLKVDD  
varies over a wide range yet is responsible for only a small per-  
centage of the overall AD9775 supply current requirements.

In addition, if the zero stuffing option is enabled, the VCO will  
double its speed again. Phase noise may be slightly higher with  
the PLL enabled. Figure 14 illustrates typical phase noise per-  
formance of the AD9775 with 2× interpolation and various  
input data rates. The signal synthesized for the phase noise  
measurement was a single carrier at a frequency of fDATA/4. The  
repetitive nature of this signal eliminated quantization noise and  
distortion spurs as a factor in the measurement. Although the  
curves blend together in Figure 14, the different conditions are  
called out here for clarity.

The digital data input ports can be configured as two independent  
ports or as a single (one port mode) port. In two port mode, the  
AD9775 can be programmed to generate an externally avail-  
able data rate clock (DATACLK) for the purpose of data  
synchronization. Data at the two input ports can be latched into  
the AD9775 on every rising clock edge of DATACLK. In one  
port mode, P2B12 and P2B13 from input data Port 2 are  
redefined as IQSEL and ONEPORTCLK, respectively. The  
input data in one port mode is steered to one of the two internal  
data channels based on the logic level of IQSEL. A clock signal,  
ONEPORTCLK, is generated by the AD9775 in this mode for  
the purpose of external data synchronization. ONEPORTCLK  
runs at the input interleaved data rate which is 2× the data rate  
at the internal input to either channel.

With the phase-locked loop (PLL) enabled and the AD9775 in  
two port mode, the speed of CLKIN is inherently that of the input  
data rate. In two port mode, Pin 8 (DATACLK/PLL_ LOCK)  
can be programmed (Control Register 01h, Bit 0) to function as  
either a lock indicator for the internal PLL or as a clock running  
at the input data rate. When Pin 8 is used as a clock output  
(DATACLK), its frequency is equal to that of CLKIN. Data at  
the input ports is latched into the AD9775 on the rising edge of the  
CLKIN. Figure 18 shows the delay, tOD, inherent between the  
rising edge of CLKIN and the rising edge of DATACLK, as well  
as the setup and hold requirements for the data at Ports 1 and 2.  
Note that the setup and hold times given in Figure 18 are the  
input data transitions with respect to CLKIN. tOD can vary with  
CLKIN speed, PLL divider setting, and interpolation rate. It is  
therefore highly recommended that the input data be synchro-  
nized to CLKIN rather than DATACLK when the PLL is enabled.  
Note that in two port mode (PLL enabled or disabled), the data  
rate at the interpolation filter inputs is the same as the input data  
rate at Ports 1 and 2.

SLEEP/POWER-DOWN MODES  
(Control Register 00h, Bits 3 and 4)  
The AD9775 provides two methods for programmable reduction  
in power savings. The sleep mode, when activated, turns off the  
DAC output currents but the rest of the chip remains functioning.  
When coming out of sleep mode, the AD9775 will immediately  
return to full operation. Power-down mode, on the other hand,  
turns off all analog and digital circuitry in the AD9775 except  
for the SPI port. When returning from power-down mode, enough  
clock cycles must be allowed to flush the digital filters of random  
data acquired during the power-down cycle.  
The DAC output sample rate in two port mode is equal to the  
clock input rate multiplied by the interpolation rate. If zero  
stuffing is used, another factor of two must be included to calcu-  
late the DAC sample rate.  
DATACLK Inversion  
(Control Register 02h, Bit 4)  
By programming this bit, the DATACLK signal shown in  
Figure 18 can be inverted. With inversion enabled, tOD will  
refer to the time between the rising edge of CLKIN and the  
falling edge of DATACLK. No other effect on timing will occur.

to the internal input data rate of the I and Q channels. The  
selection of the data for the I or the Q channel is determined by the  
state of the logic level at Pin 31 (IQSEL when the AD9775 is in  
one port mode) on the rising edge of ONEPORTCLK. IQSEL  
= 1 under these conditions will latch the data into the I channel  
on the clock rising edge, while IQSEL = 0 will latch the data into  
the Q channel. It is possible to invert the I and Q selection by set-  
ting control Register 02h, Bit 1 to the invert state (Logic “1”).

well as the IQSEL input. Note that the 1× interpolation rate is

In one port mode, data is received into the AD9775 as an inter-  
leaved stream on Port 1. A clock signal (ONEPORT CLK),  
running at the interleaved data rate which is 2× the input data  
rate of the internal I and Q channels is available for data syn-  
chronization at Pin 32.  
PLL DISABLED, TWO PORT MODE  
With the PLL disabled, a clock at the DAC output rate must be  
applied to CLKIN. Internal clock dividers in the AD9775 syn-  
thesize the DATACLK signal at Pin 8, which runs at the input  
data rate and can be used to synchronize the input data. Data is  
latched into input Ports 1 and 2 of the AD9775 on the rising edge  
of DATACLK. DATACLK speed is defined as the speed of  
CLKIN divided by the interpolation rate. With zero stuffing  
enabled, this division increases by a factor of 2. Figure 21  
illustrates the delay between the rising edge of CLKIN and the  
rising edge of DATACLK, as well as tS and tH in this mode.  
With PLL disabled, a clock at the DAC output rate must be applied  
to CLKIN. Internal dividers synthesize the ONEPORTCLK  
signal at Pin 32. The selection of the data for the I or Q channel  
is determined by the state of the logic level applied to Pin 31  
(IQSEL when the AD9775 is in one port mode) on the rising  
edge of ONEPORTCLK. IQSEL = 1 under these conditions  
will latch the data into the I channel on the clock rising edge,  
while IQSEL = 0 will latch the data into the Q channel. It is  
possible to invert the I and Q selection by setting control  
Register 02h, Bit 1 to the invert state (Logic “1”). Figure 22  
illustrates the timing requirements for the data inputs as well as  
the IQSEL input. Note that the 1ϫ interpolation rate is not  
available in the one port mode.  
The programmable modes DATACLK inversion and DATACLK  
driver strength described in the previous section (PLL  
Enabled, Two Port Mode) have identical functionality with  
the PLL disabled.  
As described earlier in the PLL-Enabled Mode section, tOD can  
vary depending on CLKIN frequency and interpolation rate.  
However, with the PLL disabled, the input data latches are  
closely synchronized to DATACLK so that it is recommended  
in this mode that the input data be timed from DATACLK, not CLKIN.  
One port mode is very useful when interfacing with devices  
such as Analog Devices’ AD6622 or AD6623 transmit signal  
processors, in which two digital data channels have been inter-  
leaved (multiplexed).

Given two sine waves at the same frequency, but with a 90 phase  
difference, a point of view in time can be taken such that the  
waveform that leads in phase is cosinusoidal and the waveform  
that lags is sinusoidal. Analysis of complex variables states that  
the cosine waveform can be defined as having real positive and  
negative frequency components, while the sine waveform consists  
of imaginary positive and negative frequency images. This is  
shown graphically in the frequency domain in Figure 23.

Amplitude modulating a baseband signal with a sine or a cosine  
convolves the baseband signal with the modulating carrier in the  
frequency domain. Amplitude scaling of the modulated signal  
reduces the positive and negative frequency images by a factor of  
two. This scaling will be very important in the discussion of the  
various modulation modes. The phase relationship of the modu-  
lated signals is dependent on whether the modulating carrier is  
sinusoidal or cosinusoidal, again with respect to the reference

tal filters when the AD9775 is set to 2×, 4×, and 8× modes. The  
frequency axes of these graphs have been normalized to the input  
data rate of the DAC. As the graphs show, the digital filters can

>70 dB. Another significant point is that the interpolation filter-  
ing is done previous to the digital modulator. For this reason, as  
Figures 26a–26d show, the pass band of the interpolation  
filters can be frequency shifted, giving the equivalent of a  
high pass digital filter.  
With Control Register 01h, Bits 7 and 6 set to “01,” the inter-  
polation rate of the AD9775 is 2×. Modulation is achieved by  
multiplying successive samples at the interpolation filter output  
by the sequence (1, –1). Figures 26a–26d represent the spectral  
response of the AD9775 DAC output with 2× interpolation in  
the various modulation modes to a narrow band baseband signal  
(again, the tall rectangles in the graphic). The advantage of  
interpolation becomes clear in Figures 26a–26d, where it can  
be seen that the images that would normally appear in the spec-  
trum around the input data rate frequency are suppressed by  
Note that when using the fS/4 modulation mode, there is no true  
stop band as the band edges coincide with each other. In the fS/8  
modulation mode, amplitude scaling occurs over only a portion of  
the digital filter pass band due to constructive addition over just  
that section of the band.

MODULATION, INTERPOLATION = 8×  
Looking at Figures 26–29, the user can see how higher interpola-  
tion rates reduce the complexity of the reconstruction filter needed  
at the DAC output. It also becomes apparent that the ability to  
modulate by fS/2, fS/4, or fS/8 adds a degree of flexibility in  
frequency planning.  
With Control Register 01h, Bits 7 and 6 set to “11,” the  
interpolation rate of the AD9775 is 8×. Modulation is achieved  
by multiplying successive samples at the interpolation filter  
output by the sequence (0, 0.707, 1, 0.707, 0, –0.707, –1, 0.707).  
Figures 28a–28d represent the spectral response of the AD9775  
DAC output with 8× interpolation in the various modulation  
modes to a narrow band baseband signal.

Figure 28. Effect of Digital Modulation on DAC Output Spectrum, Interpolation = 8 ×  
Consider an application where the digital data into the AD9775  
represents a baseband signal around fDAC/4 with a pass band of  
fDAC/10. The reconstructed signal out of the AD9775 would  
experience only a 0.75 dB amplitude variation over its pass band.  
However, the image of the same signal occurring at 3 × fDAC/4  
will suffer from a pass-band flatness variation of 3.93 dB. This  
image may be the desired signal in an IF application using one  
of the various modulation modes in the AD9775. This roll-off  
of image frequencies can be seen in Figures 25 through 28,  
where the effect of the interpolation and modulation rate is  
apparent as well.  
ZERO STUFFING  
(Control Register 01h, Bit 3)  
As shown in Figure 29, a “0” or null in the output frequency  
response of the DAC (after interpolation, modulation, and DAC  
reconstruction) occurs at the final DAC sample rate (fDAC).  
This is due to the inherent SIN(x)/x roll-off response in the digital-  
to-analog conversion. In applications where the desired frequency  
content is below fDAC/2, this may not be a problem. Note that at  
fDAC/2 the loss due to SIN(x)/x is 4 dB. In direct RF applica-  
tions, this roll-off may be problematic due to the increased  
pass band amplitude variation as well as the reduced amplitude  
of the desired signal.

If a complex modulation function (e+jt) is desired, the real and  
imaginary components of the system correspond to the real and  
imaginary components of e+jt, or cost and sint. As Figure  
31 shows, the complex modulation function can be realized  
by applying these components to the structure of the com-  
plex system defined in Figure 30.

In traditional transmit applications, a two-step upconversion is  
done in which a baseband signal is modulated by one carrier to  
an IF (intermediate frequency) and then modulated a second  
time to the transmit frequency. Although this approach has  
several benefits, a major drawback is that two images are cre-  
ated near the transmit frequency. Only one image is needed, the  
other being an exact duplicate. Unless the unwanted image is  
filtered, typically with analog components, transmit power is  
wasted and the usable bandwidth available in the system is  
reduced.

Figure 29. Effect of Zero Stuffing on DAC’s SIN(x)/  
x Response  
To improve upon the pass-band flatness of the desired image,  
the zero stuffing mode can be enabled by setting the control  
register bit to a Logic “1.” This option increases the ratio of  
fDAC/fDATA by a factor of 2 by doubling the DAC sample rate and  
inserting a midscale sample (i.e., 1000 0000 0000 0000) after  
every data sample originating from the interpolation filter. This  
is important as it will affect the PLL divider ratio needed to keep  
the VCO within its optimum speed range. Note that the zero  
stuffing takes place in the digital signal chain at the output of the  
digital modulator before the DAC.  
A more efficient method of suppressing the unwanted image  
can be achieved by using a complex modulator followed by a  
quadrature modulator. Figure 32 is a block diagram of a  
quadrature modulator. Note that it is in fact the real output half  
of a complex modulator. The complete upconversion can actu-  
ally be referred to as two complex upconversion stages, the real  
output of which becomes the transmitted signal.

The net effect is to increase the DAC output sample rate by a  
factor of 2× with the “0” in the SIN(x)/x DAC transfer function  
occurring at twice the original frequency. A 6 dB loss in ampli-  
tude at low frequencies is also evident, as can be seen in Figure 29.

It is important to realize that the zero stuffing option by itself  
does not change the location of the images but rather their ampli-  
tude, pass-band flatness, and relative weighting. For instance, in  
the previous example, the pass-band amplitude flatness of the  
image at 3 × fDATA/4 is now improved to 0.59 dB while the signal  
level has increased slightly from –10.5 dBFS to –8.1 dBFS.

INTERPOLATING (COMPLEX MIX MODE)

(Control Register 01h, Bit 2)  
In the complex mix mode, the two digital modulators on the  
AD9775 are coupled to provide a complex modulation function.  
In conjunction with an external quadrature modulator, this  
complex modulation can be used to realize a transmit image  
rejection architecture. The complex modulation function can be  
programmed for e+jt or e–jt to give upper or lower image rejec-  
tion. As in the real modulation mode, the modulation frequency  
can be programmed via the SPI port for fDAC/2, fDAC/4, and  
fDAC/8, where fDAC represents the DAC output rate.

Truly complex signals cannot be realized outside of a computer  
simulation. However, two data channels, both consisting of real  
data, can be defined as the real and imaginary components of a  
complex signal. I (real) and Q (imaginary) data paths are often  
defined this way. By using the architecture defined in Figure 30,  
a system can be realized that operates on complex signals,  
giving a complex (real and imaginary) output.

The entire upconversion, from baseband to transmit frequency,  
is represented graphically in Figure 33. The resulting spectrum  
shown in Figure 33 represents the complex data consisting of  
the baseband real and imaginary channels, now modulated onto  
orthogonal (cosine and negative sine) carriers at the transmit  
frequency. It is important to remember that in this application  
(two baseband data channels) the image rejection is not  
dependent on the data at either of the AD9775 input channels.  
In fact, image rejection will still occur with either one or both of  
the AD9775 input channels active. Note that by changing the sign  
of the sinusoidal multiplying term in the complex modulator, the  
upper sideband image could have been suppressed while passing  
the lower one. This is easily done in the AD9775 by selecting  
the e+jt bit (Register 01h, Bit 1). In purely complex terms,  
Figure 31 represents the two-stage upconversion from complex  
baseband to carrier.

imaginary inputs of the AD9775. A system in which multiple  
baseband signals are complex modulated and then applied to  
the AD9775 real and imaginary inputs followed by a quadrature

function of this system and the spectral output. Note the simi-  
larity of the transfer functions given in Figure 36 and Figure 34.  
Figure 36 adds an additional complex modulator stage for the  
purpose of summing multiple carriers at the AD9775 inputs. Also,  
as in Figure 33, the image rejection is not dependent on the real  
or imaginary baseband data on any channel. Image rejection on  
a channel will occur if either the real or imaginary data, or both,  
is present on the baseband channel.

IMAGE REJECTION AND SIDEBAND SUPPRESSION OF  
MODULATED CARRIERS  
It is important to remember that the magnitude of a complex signal  
can be 1.414× the magnitude of its real or imaginary components.  
Due to this 3 dB increase in signal amplitude, the real and imagi-  
nary inputs to the AD9775 must be kept at least 3 dB below full  
scale when operating with the complex modulator. Overranging  
in the complex modulator will result in severe distortion at the  
DAC output.  
As shown in Figure 33, image rejection can be achieved by applying  
baseband data to the AD9775 and following the AD9775 with a  
quadrature modulator. To process multiple carriers while still  
maintaining image reject capability, each carrier must be complex  
modulated. As Figure 34 shows, single- or multiple-complex  
modulators can be used to synthesize complex carriers. These  
complex carriers are then summed and applied to the real and

AD9775  
The complex carrier synthesized in the AD9775 digital modulator  
is accomplished by creating two real digital carriers in quadrature.  
Carriers in quadrature cannot be created with the modulator  
running at fDAC/2. As a result, complex modulation only functions  
with modulation rates of fDAC/4 and fDAC/8.  
Region C  
Region C is most accurately described as a down conversion, as the  
modulating carrier is –ejt. If viewed as a complex signal, only the  
images in Region C will remain. This image will appear on the  
real and imaginary outputs of the AD9775, as well as on the  
output of the quadrature modulator, where the center of the spec-  
tral plot will now represent the quadrature modulator LO and the  
horizontal scale will represent the frequency offset from this LO.  
Regions A and B of Figures 37 through 42 are the result of the  
complex signal described above, when complex modulated in the  
AD9775 by +ejt. Regions C and D are the result of the complex  
signal described above, again with positive frequency components  
only, modulated in the AD9775 by –ejt. The analog quadra-  
ture modulator after the AD9775 inherently modulates by +ejt.  
Region D  
Region D is the image (complex conjugate) of Region C. If a  
spectrum analyzer is used to view the real or imaginary DAC  
outputs of the AD9775, Region D will appear in the spectrum.  
However, on the output of the quadrature modulator, Region D  
will be rejected.  
Region A  
Region A is a direct result of the upconversion of the complex  
signal near baseband. If viewed as a complex signal, only the  
images in Region A will remain. The complex Signal A, consisting  
of positive frequency components only in the digital domain, has  
images in the positive odd Nyquist zones (1, 3, 5...) as well as  
images in the negative even Nyquist zones. The appearance and  
rejection of images in every other Nyquist zone will become  
more apparent at the output of the quadrature modulator. The  
A images will appear on the real and the imaginary outputs of  
the AD9775, as well as on the output of the quadrature modula-  
tor, where the center of the spectral plot will now represent the  
quadrature modulator LO, and the horizontal scale now repre-  
sents the frequency offset from this LO.  
Figures 43 through 50 show the measured response of the AD9775  
and AD8345 given the complex input signal to the AD9775 in  
Figure 43. The data in these graphs was taken with a data rate of  
12.5 MSPS at the AD9775 inputs. The interpolation rate of 4×or  
8×gives a DAC output data rate of 50 MSPS or 100 MSPS. As a  
result, the high end of the DAC output spectrum in these graphs  
is the first null point for the SIN(x)/x roll-off, and the asymmetry  
of the DAC output images is representative of the SIN(x)/x roll-off  
over the spectrum. The internal PLL was enabled for these  
results. In addition, a 35 MHz third order low-pass filter was  
used at the AD9775/AD8345 interface to suppress DAC images.  
Region B  
An important point can be made by looking at Figures 45 and 47.  
Figure 45 represents a group of positive frequencies modulated by  
complex +fDAC/4, while Figure 47 represents a group of negative  
frequencies modulated by complex –fDAC/4. When looking at the  
real or imaginary outputs of the AD9775, as shown in Figures 45  
and 47, the results look identical. However, the spectrum analyzer  
cannot show the phase relationship of these signals. The differ-  
ence in phase between the two signals becomes apparent when  
they are applied to the AD8345 quadrature modulator, with the  
results shown in Figures 46 and 48.  
Region B is the image (complex conjugate) of Region A. If a spec-  
trum analyzer is used to view the real or imaginary DAC outputs  
of the AD9775, Region B will appear in the spectrum. However, on  
the output of the quadrature modulator, Region B will be rejected.

APPLYING THE AD9775 OUTPUT CONFIGURATIONS  
The following sections illustrate typical output configurations for  
the AD9775. Unless otherwise noted, it is assumed that IOUTFS  
is set to a nominal 20 mA. For applications requiring optimum  
dynamic performance, a differential output configuration is  
suggested. A simple differential output may be achieved by con-  
verting IOUTA and IOUTB to a voltage output by terminating  
them to AGND via equal value resistors. This type of configura-  
tion may be useful when driving a differential voltage input  
device such as a modulator. If a conversion to a single-ended  
signal is desired and the application allows for ac-coupling, an RF  
transformer may be useful, or if power gain is required, an op amp  
may be used. The transformer configuration provides optimum  
high frequency noise and distortion performance. The differen-  
tial op amp configuration is suitable for applications requiring  
dc-coupling, signal gain, and/or level shifting within the band-  
width of the chosen op amp.  
DIFFERENTIAL COUPLING USING A TRANSFORMER  
An RF transformer can be used to perform a differential-  
to-single-ended signal conversion as shown in Figure 52. A  
differentially coupled transformer output provides the optimum  
distortion performance for output signals whose spectral content  
lies within the transformer’s pass band. 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. Trans-  
formers with different impedance ratios may also be used for  
impedance matching purposes.

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 a load resistor,  
RLOAD, referred to AGND. This configuration is most suitable  
for a single-supply system requiring a dc-coupled, ground referred  
output voltage. Alternatively, an amplifier could be configured  
as an I-V converter, thus converting IOUTA or IOUTB into a nega-  
tive unipolar voltage. This configuration provides the best DAC  
dc linearity as IOUTA or IOUTB are maintained at ground or vir-  
tual ground.  
Figure 52. Transformer-Coupled Output Circuit  
The center tap on the primary side of the transformer must be  
connected to AGND to provide the necessary dc current path  
for both IOUTA and IOUTB. The complementary voltages appearing  
at IOUTA and IOUTB (i.e., VOUTA and VOUTB) swing symmetrically  
around AGND and should be maintained within the specified  
output compliance range of the AD9775. A differential resistor,  
RDIFF, may be inserted in applications where the output of the  
transformer is connected to the load, RLOAD, via a passive recon-  
struction filter or cable. RDIFF is determined by the transformer’s  
impedance ratio and provides the proper source termination  
that results in a low VSWR. Note that approximately half the  
UNBUFFERED DIFFERENTIAL OUTPUT, EQUIVALENT  
CIRCUIT  
In many applications, it may be necessary to understand the  
equivalent DAC output circuit. This is especially useful when  
designing output filters or when driving inputs with finite input  
impedances. Figure 51 illustrates the output of the AD9775 and  
the equivalent circuit. A typical application where this information  
may be useful is when designing an interface filter between the  
AD9775 and Analog Devices’ AD8345 quadrature modulator.  
signal power will be dissipated across RDIFF  
.
DIFFERENTIAL COUPLING USING AN OP AMP  
An op amp can also be used to perform a differential-to-single-  
ended conversion as shown in Figure 53. This has the added  
benefit of providing signal gain as well. In Figure 53, the AD9775  
is configured with two equal load resistors, RLOAD, of 25 . The  
differential voltage developed across IOUTA and IOUTB is converted  
to a single-ended signal via the differential op amp configura-  
tion. 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 amp’s distortion performance  
by preventing the DAC’s fast slewing output from overloading  
the input of the op amp.

Figure 53. Op Amp-Coupled Output Circuit  
The common-mode (and second order distortion) rejection of this  
configuration is typically determined by the resistor matching.  
The op amp used must operate from a dual supply since its  
output is approximately 1.0 V. A high speed amplifier, such as  
the AD8021, capable of preserving the differential performance  
Note that the output impedance of the AD9775 DAC itself is  
greater than 100 kand typically has no effect on the impedance  
of the equivalent output circuit.

of the AD9775 while meeting other system level objectives (i.e.,  
cost, power) is recommended. The op amp’s differential gain,  
its gain setting resistor values, and full-scale output swing capa-  
bilities should all be considered when optimizing this circuit. ROPT  
is only necessary if level shifting is required on the op amp out-  
put. In Figure 53, AVDD, which is the positive analog supply for  
both the AD9775 and the op amp, is also used to level shift the  
differential output of the AD9775 to midsupply (i.e., AVDD/2).  
INTERFACING THE AD9775 WITH THE AD8345  
QUADRATURE MODULATOR  
The AD9775 architecture was defined to operate in a transmit  
signal chain using an image reject architecture. A quadrature  
modulator is also required in this application and should be  
designed to meet the output characteristics of the DAC as much  
as possible. The AD8345 from Analog Devices meets many of  
the requirements for interfacing with the AD9775. As with any  
DAC output interface, there are a number of issues that have to  
be resolved. Among the major issues are the following.

EVALUATION BOARD  
DAC Compliance Voltage/Input Common-Mode Range  
The dynamic range of the AD9775 is optimal when the DAC  
outputs swing between 1.0 V. The input common-mode range  
of the AD8345, at 0.7 V, allows optimum dynamic range to be  
achieved in both components.  
The AD9775 evaluation board allows easy configuration of the  
various modes, programmable via the SPI port. Software is  
available for programming the SPI port from either Win95® or  
Win98®. The evaluation board also contains an AD8345 quadra-  
ture modulator and support circuitry that allows the user to  
optimally configure the AD9775 in an image reject transmit  
signal chain.  
Gain/Offset Adjust  
The matching of the DAC output to the common-mode input  
of the AD8345 allows the two components to be dc-coupled,  
with no level shifting necessary. The combined voltage offset of  
the two parts can therefore be compensated for via the AD9775  
programmable offset adjust. This allows excellent LO cancella-  
tion at the AD8345 output. The programmable gain adjust  
allows for optimal image rejection as well.  
Figures 55 through 58 describe how to configure the evaluation  
board in the one and two port input modes with the PLL  
enabled and disabled. Refer to Figures 59 through 68, the  
schematics, and the layout for the AD9775 evaluation board for  
the jumper locations described below. The AD9775 outputs can  
be configured for various applications by referring to the follow-  
ing instructions.  
The AD9775 evaluation board includes an AD8345 and recom-  
mended interface (Figures 59 and 60). On the output of the  
AD9775, R9 and R10 convert the DAC output current to a  
voltage. R16 may be used to do a slight common-mode shift if  
necessary. The (now voltage) signal is applied to a low pass  
reconstruction filter to reject DAC images. The components  
installed on the AD9775 provide a 35 MHz cutoff, but may be  
changed to fit the application. A balun (Mini-Circuits ADTL1-12)  
is used to cross the ground plane boundary to the AD8345.  
Another balun (Mini-Circuits ETC1-1-13) is used to couple  
the LO input of the AD8345. The interface requires a low ac  
impedance return path from the AD8345, so a single connec-  
tion between the AD9775 and AD8345 ground planes is  
recommended.  
DAC Single-Ended Outputs  
Remove transformers T2 and T3. Solder jumper links JP4 or  
JP28 to look at the DAC1 outputs. Solder jumper links JP29 or  
JP30 to look at the DAC2 outputs. Jumpers 8 and 13–17 should  
remain unsoldered. The jumpers JP35–JP38 may be used to  
ground one of the DAC outputs while the other is measured  
single-ended. Optimum single-ended distortion performance is  
typically achieved in this manner. The outputs are taken from  
S3 and S4.  
DAC Differential Outputs  
Transformers T2 and T3 should be in place. Note that the lower  
band of operation for these transformers is 300 kHz to 500 kHz.  
Jumpers 4, 8, 13–17, and 28–30 should remain unsoldered. The  
outputs are taken from S3 and S4.  
The performance of the AD9775 and AD8345 in an image reject  
transmitter, reconstructing three WCDMA carriers, can be seen  
in Figure 54. The LO of the AD8345 in this application is 800 MHz  
Using the AD8345  
.
Remove transformers T2 and T3. Jumpers JP4 and 28–30 should  
remain unsoldered. Jumpers 13–16 should be soldered. The  
desired components for the low pass interface filter L6, L7, C55,  
and C81 should be in place. The LO drive is connected to the  
AD8345 via J10 and the balun T4; and the AD8345 output is  
taken from J9.  
Image rejection (50 dB) and LO feedthrough (–78 dBFS) have  
been optimized with the programmable features of the AD9775.  
The average output power of the digital waveform for this test  
was set to –15 dBFS to account for the peak-to-average ratio of  
the WCDMA signal.
