glitch energy and to maximize dynamic accuracy. Each DAC  
provides differential current output, thus supporting single-  
ended or differential applications. Both DACs can be  
simultaneously updated and provide a nominal full-scale  
current of 20 mA. The full-scale currents between each DAC  
are matched to within 0.1%.  
GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The AD97091 is a dual-port, high speed, 2-channel, 8-bit CMOS  
DAC. It integrates two high quality 8-bit TxDAC+® cores, a voltage  
reference, and digital interface circuitry into a small 48-lead LQFP  
package. The AD9709 offers exceptional ac and dc performance  
while supporting update rates of up to 125 MSPS.  
The AD9709 is manufactured on an advanced low-cost CMOS  
process. It operates from a single supply of 3.3 V or 5 V and  
consumes 380 mW of power.  
The AD9709 has been optimized for processing I and Q data in  
communications applications. The digital interface consists of two  
double-buffered latches as well as control logic. Separate write  
inputs allow data to be written to the two DAC ports independent  
of one another. Separate clocks control the update rate of the DACs.  
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS  
1. The AD9709 is a member of a pin-compatible family of  
dual TxDACs providing 8-, 10-, 12-, and 14-bit resolution.  
2. Dual 8-Bit, 125 MSPS DACs. A pair of high performance  
DACs optimized for low distortion performance provide  
for flexible transmission of I and Q information.  
A mode control pin allows the AD9709 to interface to two separate  
data ports, or to a single interleaved high speed data port. In inter-  
leaving mode, the input data stream is demuxed into its original  
I and Q data and then latched. The I and Q data is then converted  
by the two DACs and updated at half the input data rate.  
3. Matching. Gain matching is typically 0.1% of full scale, and  
offset error is better than 0.02%.  
The GAINCTRL pin allows two modes for setting the full-scale  
current (IOUTFS) of the two DACs. IOUTFS for each DAC can be set  
independently using two external resistors, or IOUTFS for both  
DACs can be set by using a single external resistor. See the Gain  
Control Mode section for important date code information on  
this feature.  
4. Low Power. Complete CMOS dual DAC function operates  
at 380 mW from a 3.3 V or 5 V single supply. The DAC  
full-scale current can be reduced for lower power operation,  
and a sleep mode is provided for low power idle periods.  
5. On-Chip Voltage Reference. The AD9709 includes a 1.20 V  
temperature-compensated band gap voltage reference.  
6. Dual 8-Bit Inputs. The AD9709 features a flexible dual-  
port interface, allowing dual or interleaved input data.  
The DACs utilize a segmented current source architecture  
combined with a proprietary switching technique to reduce

TERMINOLOGY  
Temperature Drift  
Linearity Error (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.  
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 part per million (ppm) of  
full-scale range (FSR) per degree Celsius. For reference drift, the  
drift is reported in ppm per degree Celsius (pm/°C).  
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)  
DNL is the measure of the variation in analog value, normalized  
to full scale, associated with a 1 LSB change in digital input code.  
Power Supply Rejection (PSR)  
PSR is the maximum change in the full-scale output as the  
supplies are varied from nominal to minimum and maximum  
specified voltages.  
Monotonicity  
A DAC is monotonic if the output either increases or remains  
constant as the digital input increases.  
Settling Time  
Offset Error  
Settling time is 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.  
Offset error is the deviation of the output current from the ideal of  
zero. 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.  
Glitch Impulse  
Gain Error  
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 picovolts per second (pV-s).  
Gain error is the difference between the actual and ideal output  
spans. 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.  
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range  
Output Compliance Range  
The difference, in decibels (dB), between the rms amplitude of  
the output signal and the peak spurious signal over the specified  
bandwidth.  
The output compliance range is 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.  
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)  
THD is the ratio of the rms sum of the first six harmonic  
components to the rms value of the measured input signal. It is  
expressed as a percentage or in decibels (dB).

Figure 22. Simplified Block Diagram  
All of these current sources are switched to one of the two  
output nodes (that is, IOUTA or IOUTB) via the PMOS differential  
current switches. The switches are based on a new architecture  
that drastically improves distortion performance. This new  
switch architecture reduces various timing errors and provides  
matching of complementary drive signals to the inputs of the  
differential current switches.  
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION  
Figure 22 shows a simplified block diagram of the AD9709. The  
AD9709 consists of two DACs, each one with its own independent  
digital control logic and full-scale output current control. Each  
DAC contains a PMOS current source array capable of providing  
up to 20 mA of full-scale current (IOUTFS).  
The array is divided into 31 equal currents that make up the five  
most significant bits (MSBs). The next four bits, or middle bits,  
consist of 15 equal current sources whose value is 1/16th of an  
MSB current source. The remaining LSB is a binary weighted  
fraction of the middle bit current sources. Implementing the  
middle and lower bits with current sources instead of an R-2R  
ladder enhances the dynamic performance for multitone or low  
amplitude signals and helps maintain the high output impedance  
of each DAC (that is, >100 kΩ).  
The analog and digital sections of the AD9709 have separate  
power supply inputs (that is, AVDD and DVDD1/DVDD2) that  
can operate independently over a 3.3 V to 5 V range. The digital  
section, which is capable of operating up to a 125 MSPS clock  
rate, consists of edge-triggered latches and segment decoding  
logic circuitry. The analog section includes the PMOS current  
sources, the associated differential switches, a 1.20 V band gap  
voltage reference, and two reference control amplifiers.  
Rev. B | Page 12 of 32  
 
 
 
AD9709  
The full-scale output current of each DAC is regulated by  
separate reference control amplifiers and can be set from 2 mA  
to 20 mA via an external network connected to the full-scale  
adjust (FSADJ) pin. The external network in combination with  
both the reference control amplifier and voltage reference  
(VREFIO) sets the reference current (IREF), which is replicated to  
the segmented current sources with the proper scaling factor.  
GAIN CONTROL MODE  
The AD9709 allows the gain of each channel to be set  
independently by connecting one RSET resistor to FSADJ1 and  
another RSET resistor to FSADJ2. To add flexibility and reduce  
system cost, a single RSET resistor can be used to set the gain of  
both channels simultaneously.  
When GAINCTRL is low (that is, connected to analog ground),  
the independent channel gain control mode using two resistors  
is enabled. In this mode, individual RSET resistors should be  
connected to FSADJ1 and FSADJ2. When GAINCTRL is high  
(that is, connected to AVDD), the master/slave channel gain  
control mode using one network is enabled. In this mode, a  
single network is connected to FSADJ1, and the FSADJ2 pin  
must be left unconnected.  
The full-scale current (IOUTFS) is 32 × IREF  
.
REFERENCE OPERATION  
The AD9709 contains an internal 1.20 V band gap reference.  
This can easily be overridden by a low noise external reference  
with no effect on performance. REFIO serves as either an input  
or output depending on whether the internal or an external  
reference is used. To use the internal reference, simply decouple  
the REFIO pin to ACOM with a 0.1 μF capacitor. The internal  
reference voltage will be present at REFIO. If the voltage at  
REFIO is to be used elsewhere in the circuit, an external buffer  
amplifier with an input bias current of less than 100 nA should  
be used. An example of the use of the internal reference is  
shown in Figure 23.  
Note that only parts with a date code of 9930 or later have the  
master/slave gain control function. For parts with a date code  
before 9930, Pin 42 must be connected to AGND, and the part  
operates in the two-resistor, independent gain control mode.  
SETTING THE FULL-SCALE CURRENT  
OPTIONAL  
Both of the DACs in the AD9709 contain a control amplifier  
that is used to regulate the full-scale output current (IOUTFS). The  
control amplifier is configured as a V-I converter, as shown in  
Figure 23, so that its current output (IREF) is determined by the ratio

An external reference can be applied to REFIO as shown in  
Figure 24. The external reference can 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 because the internal  
reference is overridden and the relatively high input impedance  
of REFIO minimizes any loading of the external reference.  
IOUTFS = 32× IREF  
The control amplifier allows a wide (10:1) adjustment span of  
OUTFS from 2 mA to 20 mA by setting IREF between 62.5 ꢀA and  
I
625 ꢀA. The wide adjustment range of IOUTFS provides several  
benefits. The first relates directly to the power dissipation of  
the AD9709, which is proportional to IOUTFS (refer to the Power  
Dissipation section). The second relates to the 20 dB adjustment,  
which is useful for system gain control purposes.

It should be noted that when the RSET resistors are 2 kΩ or less,  
the 22 nF capacitor and 256 Ω resistor shown in Figure 23 and  
Figure 24 are not required and the reference current can be set  
by the RSET resistors alone. For RSET values greater than 2 kΩ, the  
22 nF capacitor and 256 Ω resistor networks are required to  
ensure the stability of the reference control amplifier(s).  
Regardless of the value of RSET, however, if the RSET resistor is  
located more than ~10 cm away from the pin, use of the 22 nF  
capacitor and 256 Ω resistor is recommended.

differential amplifier configuration. The ac performance of the  
AD9709 is optimum and specified using a differential  
transformer-coupled output in which the voltage swing at IOUTA  
and IOUTB is limited to 0.5 V. If a single-ended unipolar output  
is desirable, IOUTA should be selected.  
DAC TRANSFER FUNCTION  
Both DACs in the AD9709 provide complementary current out-  
puts, IOUTA and IOUTB. IOUTA provides a near full-scale current  
output, IOUTFS, when all bits are high (that is, DAC CODE = 256)  
while IOUTB, the complementary output, provides no current.  
The current output appearing at IOUTA and IOUTB is a function of  
both the input code and IOUTFS and can be expressed as  
The distortion and noise performance of the AD9709 can be  
enhanced when it is configured for differential operation. The  
common-mode error sources of both IOUTA and IOUTB can be  
significantly reduced by the common-mode rejection of a  
transformer or differential amplifier. These common-mode  
error sources include even-order distortion products and noise.  
The enhancement in distortion performance becomes more  
significant as the frequency content of the reconstructed  
waveform increases. This is due to the first-order cancellation of  
various dynamic common-mode distortion mechanisms, digital  
feedthrough, and noise.

OUTB = (255 − DAC CODE)/256 × IOUTFS  
where DAC CODE = 0 to 255 (that is, decimal representation).  
I
OUTFS is a function of the reference current (IREF), which is  
nominally set by a reference voltage (VREFIO) and an external  
resistor (RSET). It can be expressed as  
I
OUTFS = 32 × IREF  
where  
REF = VREFIO/RSET

Performing a differential-to-single-ended conversion via a  
transformer also provides the ability to deliver twice the  
reconstructed signal power to the load (that is, assuming no  
source termination). Because the output currents of IOUTA and  
I
The two current outputs typically drive a resistive load directly  
or via a transformer. If dc coupling is required, IOUTA and IOUTB  
should be connected directly to matching resistive loads, RLOAD  
that are tied to the analog common, ACOM. Note that RLOAD  
can represent the equivalent load resistance seen by IOUTA or  
I
OUTB are complementary, they become additive when processed  
,
differentially. A properly selected transformer allows the AD9709  
to provide the required power and voltage levels to different loads.  
The output impedance of IOUTA and IOUTB is determined by the  
equivalent parallel combination of the PMOS switches  
associated with the current sources and is typically 100 kΩ in  
parallel with 5 pF. It is also slightly dependent on the output  
voltage (that is, VOUTA and VOUTB) due to the nature of a PMOS  
device. As a result, maintaining IOUTA and/or IOUTB at a virtual  
ground via an I-V op amp configuration results in the optimum  
dc linearity. Note that the INL/DNL specifications for the  
AD9709 are measured with IOUTA maintained at a virtual ground  
via an op amp.

Equation 7 highlights some of the advantages of operating the  
AD9709 differentially. First, the differential operation helps cancel  
compliance range that must be adhered to in order to achieve  
optimum performance. The negative output compliance range  
of −1.0 V is set by the breakdown limits of the CMOS process.  
Operation beyond this maximum limit may result in a  
breakdown of the output stage and affect the reliability of the

such as noise, distortion, and dc offsets. Second, the differential  
code-dependent current and subsequent voltage, VDIFF, is twice  
the value of the single-ended voltage output (that is, VOUTA or  
VOUTB), thus providing twice the signal power to the load.  
The positive output compliance range is slightly dependent on  
the full-scale output current, IOUTFS. When IOUTFS is decreased  
from 20 mA to 2 mA, the positive output compliance range  
degrades slightly from its nominal 1.25 V to 1.00 V. The optimum  
distortion performance for a single-ended or differential output  
is achieved when the maximum full-scale signal at IOUTA and IOUTB  
does not exceed 0.5 V. Applications requiring the AD9709 output  
(that is, VOUTA and/or VOUTB) to extend its output compliance range  
should size RLOAD accordingly. Operation beyond this compliance  
range adversely affects the linearity performance of the AD9709  
and subsequently degrade its distortion performance.  
Note that the gain drift temperature performance for a single-  
ended (VOUTA and VOUTB) or differential output (VDIFF) of the  
AD9709 can be enhanced by selecting temperature tracking  
resistors for RLOAD and RSET due to their ratiometric relationship.  
ANALOG OUTPUTS  
The complementary current outputs, IOUTA and IOUTB, in each  
DAC can be configured for single-ended or differential  
operation. IOUTA and IOUTB can be converted into complementary  
single-ended voltage outputs, VOUTA and VOUTB, via a load  
resistor, RLOAD, as described in Equation 5 through Equation 7.  
The differential voltage, VDIFF, existing between VOUTA and VOUTB  
can be converted to a single-ended voltage via a transformer or

The rising edge of CLK should occur before or simultaneously  
with the rising edge of WRT. If the rising edge of CLK occurs  
after the rising edge of WRT, a minimum delay of 2 ns should  
be maintained from rising edge of WRT to rising edge of CLK.  
DIGITAL INPUTS  
The digital inputs of the AD9709 consist of two independent  
channels. For the dual port mode, each DAC has its own  
dedicated 8-bit data port: WRT line and CLK line. In the  
interleaved timing mode, the function of the digital control pins  
changes as described in the Interleaved Mode Timing section.  
The 8-bit parallel data inputs follow straight binary coding  
where DB7P1 and DB7P2 are the most significant bits (MSBs)  
and DB0P1 and DB0P2 are the least significant bits (LSBs).  
Timing specifications for dual port mode are given in Figure 26

The digital interface is implemented using an edge-triggered

either the rising edge or every other rising edge of the clock,  
depending on whether dual or interleaved mode is used. The  
DAC outputs are designed to support a clock rate as high as  
125 MSPS. The clock can be operated at any duty cycle that  
meets the specified latch pulse width. The setup and hold times  
can also be varied within the clock cycle as long as the specified  
minimum times are met, although the location of these transition  
edges may affect digital feedthrough and distortion performance.  
Best performance is typically achieved when the input data  
transitions on the falling edge of a 50% duty cycle clock.

When IQRESET is high, IQCLK is disabled. When IQRESET  
goes low, the next rising edge on IQCLK updates both DAC  
latches with the data present at their inputs. In the interleaved  
mode, IQCLK is divided by 2 internally. Following this first  
rising edge, the DAC latches are only updated on every other  
rising edge of IQCLK. In this way, IQRESET can be used to  
synchronize the routing of the data to the DACs.  
Figure 25. Latch Structure in Interleaved Mode  
Dual Port Mode Timing  
When the MODE pin is at Logic 1, the AD9709 operates in dual  
port mode (refer to Figure 21). The AD9709 functions as two  
distinct DACs. Each DAC has its own completely independent  
digital input and control lines.  
Similar to the order of CLK and WRT in dual port mode,  
IQCLK should occur before or simultaneously with IQWRT.  
The AD9709 features a double-buffered data path. Data enters the  
device through the channel input latches. This data is then trans-  
ferred to the DAC latch in each signal path. After the data is loaded  
into the DAC latch, the analog output settles to its new value.  
For general consideration, the WRT lines control the channel  
input latches, and the CLK lines control the DAC latches. Both  
sets of latches are updated on the rising edge of their respective  
control signals.

The internal digital circuitry of the AD9709 is capable of operating  
at a digital supply of 3.3 V or 5 V. As a result, the digital inputs  
can also accommodate TTL levels when DVDD1/DVDD2 is set to  
accommodate the maximum high level voltage (VOH(MAX)) of the  
TTL drivers. A DVDD1/DVDD2 of 3.3 V typically ensures proper  
compatibility with most TTL logic families. Figure 31 shows the  
equivalent digital input circuit for the data and clock inputs.  
The sleep mode input is similar with the exception that it  
contains an active pull-down circuit, thus ensuring that the  
AD9709 remains enabled if this input is left disconnected.

Because the AD9709 is capable of being clocked up to 125 MSPS,  
the quality of the clock and data input signals are important in  
achieving the optimum performance. Operating the AD9709  
with reduced logic swings and a corresponding digital supply  
(DVDD1/DVDD2) results in the lowest data feedthrough and  
on-chip digital noise. The drivers of the digital data interface  
circuitry should be specified to meet the minimum setup and  
hold times of the AD9709 as well as its required minimum and  
maximum input logic level thresholds.

Digital signal paths should be kept short, and run lengths should be  
matched to avoid propagation delay mismatch. The insertion of  
a low value (that is, 20 Ω to 100 Ω) resistor network between  
the AD9709 digital inputs and driver outputs may be helpful in  
reducing any overshooting and ringing at the digital inputs that  
contribute to digital feedthrough. For longer board traces and  
high data update rates, stripline techniques with proper  
impedance and termination resistors should be considered to  
maintain “clean” digital inputs.  
Input Clock and Data Timing Relationship  
SNR in a DAC is dependent on the relationship between the  
position of the clock edges and the point in time at which the  
input data changes. The AD9709 is rising-edge triggered and  
therefore exhibits SNR sensitivity when the data transition is  
close to this edge. In general, the goal when applying the AD9709 is  
to make the data transition close to the falling clock edge. This  
becomes more important as the sample rate increases. Figure 32  
shows the relationship of SNR to clock/data placement.  
60  
The external clock driver circuitry provides the AD9709 with a  
low-jitter clock input meeting the minimum and maximum logic  
levels while providing fast edges. Fast clock edges help minimize  
jitter manifesting itself as phase noise on a reconstructed waveform.  
Therefore, the clock input should be driven by the fastest logic  
family suitable for the application.

Note that the clock input can also be driven via a sine wave, which  
is centered around the digital threshold (that is, DVDDx/2) and  
meets the minimum and maximum logic threshold. This typically  
results in a slight degradation in the phase noise, which becomes  
more noticeable at higher sampling rates and output frequencies.  
In addition, at higher sampling rates, the 20% tolerance of the  
digital logic threshold should be considered because it affects  
the effective clock duty cycle and, subsequently, cut into the  
required data setup and hold times.

SLEEP MODE OPERATION  
The AD9709 has a power-down function that turns off the  
output current and reduces the supply current to less than  
8.5 mA over the specified supply range of 3.3 V to 5 V and  
temperature range. This mode can be activated by applying a  
Logic Level 1 to the SLEEP pin. The SLEEP pin logic threshold  
is equal to 0.5 × AVDD. This digital input also contains an active  
pull-down circuit that ensures the AD9709 remains enabled if  
this input is left disconnected. The AD9709 requires less than  
50 ns to power down and approximately 5 μs to power back up.

AD9709  
APPLYING THE AD9709  
RDIFF, can be inserted in applications where the output of the  
OUTPUT CONFIGURATIONS  
transformer is connected to the load, RLOAD, via a passive  
reconstruction filter or cable. RDIFF is determined by the  
transformers impedance ratio and provides the proper source  
termination that results in a low VSWR. Note that approximately  
The following sections illustrate some typical output configura-  
tions for the AD9709. Unless otherwise noted, it is assumed that  
I
OUTFS is set to a nominal 20 mA. For applications requiring the  
optimum dynamic performance, a differential output  
configuration is suggested. A differential output configuration  
can consist of either an RF transformer or a differential op amp  
configuration. The transformer configuration provides the  
optimum 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, bipolar output, signal gain, and/or level shifting,  
within the bandwidth of the chosen op amp.  
half the signal power will be dissipated across RDIFF  
.
DIFFERENTIAL COUPLING USING AN OP AMP  
An op amp can also be used as shown in Figure 37 to perform a  
differential-to-single-ended conversion. The AD9709 is configured  
with two equal load resistors, RLOAD, of 25 Ω each. 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 amp’s distortion performance by preventing the DAC’s 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 results  
if IOUTA and/or IOUTB is connected to an appropriately 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. Alternatively, an amplifier can be  
configured as an I-V converter, thus converting IOUTA or IOUTB into a  
negative unipolar voltage. This configuration provides the best dc  
linearity because IOUTA or IOUTB is maintained at a virtual ground.

TRANSFORMER  
Figure 37. DC Differential Coupling Using an Op Amp  
The common-mode rejection of this configuration is typically  
determined by the resistor matching. In this circuit, the differential  
op amp circuit using the AD8047 is configured to provide some  
additional signal gain. The op amp must operate from a dual  
supply because its output is approximately 1.0 V. A high speed  
amplifier capable of preserving the differential performance of  
the AD9709 while meeting other system level objectives (that is,  
cost and power) should be selected. The op amps differential  
gain, gain setting resistor values, and full-scale output swing  
capabilities should be considered when optimizing this circuit.  
An RF transformer can be used as shown in Figure 36 to perform  
a differential-to-single-ended signal conversion. A differentially  
coupled transformer output provides the optimum distortion  
performance for output signals whose spectral content lies within  
the pass band of the transformer. An RF transformer such as the  
Mini-Circuits® T1-1T provides excellent rejection of common-  
mode distortion (that is, 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 can also be used for impedance  
matching purposes. Note that the transformer provides ac  
coupling only.  
The differential circuit shown in Figure 38 provides the  
necessary level shifting required in a single-supply system. In  
this case, AVDD, which is the positive analog supply for both  
the AD9709 and the op amp, is used to level shift the differential  
output of the AD9709 to midsupply (that is, AVDD/2). The  
AD8041 is a suitable op amp for this application.

POWER AND GROUNDING CONSIDERATIONS  
Power Supply Rejection  
Figure 39 shows the AD9709 configured to provide a unipolar  
output range of approximately 0 V to 0.5 V for a doubly terminated  
50 Ω cable, because the nominal full-scale current, IOUTFS, of 20 mA  
flows through the equivalent RLOAD of 25 Ω. In this case, RLOAD  
Many applications seek high speed and high performance under  
less than ideal operating conditions. In these applications, the  
implementation and construction of the printed circuit board is  
as important as the circuit design. Proper RF techniques must  
be used for device selection, placement, and routing as well as  
power supply bypassing and grounding to ensure optimum  
performance. Figure 52 and Figure 53 illustrate the recommended  
circuit board layout, including ground, power, and signal  
input/output.  
represents the equivalent load resistance seen by IOUTA or IOUTB  
.
The unused output (IOUTA or IOUTB) can be connected directly to  
ACOM or via a matching RLOAD. Different values of IOUTFS and  
RLOAD can be selected as long as the positive compliance range is  
adhered to. One additional consideration in this mode is the  
INL (see the Analog Outputs section). For optimum INL  
performance, the single-ended, buffered voltage output  
configuration is suggested.  
One factor that can measurably affect system performance is  
the ability of the DAC output to reject dc variations or ac noise  
superimposed on the analog or digital dc power distribution.  
This is referred to as the power supply rejection ratio (PSRR).  
For dc variations of the power supply, the resulting performance  
of the DAC directly corresponds to a gain error associated with  
the DAC’s full-scale current, IOUTFS. AC noise on the dc supplies  
is common in applications where the power distribution is  
generated by a switching power supply. Typically, switching  
power supply noise occurs over the spectrum from tens of  
kilohertz to several megahertz. The PSRR vs. frequency of the  
AD9709 AVDD supply over this frequency range is shown in  
Figure 41.

SINGLE-ENDED, BUFFERED VOLTAGE OUTPUT  
CONFIGURATION  
Figure 40 shows a buffered single-ended output configuration  
in which the U1 op amp performs an I-V conversion on the  
AD9709 output current. U1 maintains IOUTA (or IOUTB) at a  
virtual ground, thus minimizing the nonlinear output  
90  
impedance effect on the INL performance of the DAC, as  
discussed in the Analog Outputs section. Although this single-  
ended configuration typically provides the best dc linearity  
performance, its ac distortion performance at higher DAC  
update rates may be limited by the slewing capabilities of U1.  
U1 provides a negative unipolar output voltage, and its full-  
scale output voltage is simply the product of RFB and IOUTFS. The  
full-scale output should be set within U1s voltage output swing  
capabilities by scaling IOUTFS and/or RFB. An improvement in ac  
distortion performance may result with a reduced IOUTFS because  
the signal current U1 has to sink will be subsequently reduced.

Note that the data in Figure 41 is given in terms of current out  
vs. voltage in. Noise on the analog power supply has the effect  
of modulating the internal current sources and therefore the  
output current. The voltage noise on AVDD, therefore, is added  
in a nonlinear manner to the desired IOUT. PSRR is very code  
dependent, thus producing mixing effects that can modulate  
low frequency power supply noise to higher frequencies. Worst-  
case PSRR for either one of the differential DAC outputs occurs  
when the full-scale current is directed toward that output. As a  
result, the PSRR measurement in Figure 41 represents a worst-  
case condition in which the digital inputs remain static and the  
full-scale output current of 20 mA is directed to the DAC  
output being measured.

An example serves to illustrate the effect of supply noise on the  
analog supply. Suppose a switching regulator with a switching  
frequency of 250 kHz produces 10 mV of noise and, for simplicitys  
sake, all of this noise is concentrated at 250 kHz (that is, ignore  
harmonics). To calculate how much of this undesired noise will  
appear as current noise superimposed on the DAC full-scale  
current, IOUTFS, one must determine the PSRR in decibels using  
(AVDD) to the analog common (ACOM) as close to the chip as  
physically possible. Similarly, decouple DVDD1/DVDD2, the  
digital supply (DVDD1/DVDD2) to the digital common  
(DCOM1/DCOM2) as close to the chip as possible.  
For applications that require a single 5 V or 3.3 V supply for  
both the analog and digital supplies, a clean analog supply can  
be generated using the circuit shown in Figure 42. The circuit  
consists of a differential LC filter with separate power supply  
and return lines. Lower noise can be attained by using low-ESR  
type electrolytic and tantalum capacitors.

such that the units of PSRR are converted from A/V to V/V,  
,
adjust the curve in Figure 41 by the scaling factor 20 × log(RLOAD).  
For instance, if RLOAD is 50 Ω, the PSRR is reduced by 34 dB  
(that is, the PSRR of the DAC at 250 kHz, which is 85 dB in  
Figure 41, becomes 51 dB VOUT/VIN).

QAM is one of the most widely used digital modulation  
schemes in digital communications systems. This modulation  
technique can be found in FDM as well as spread spectrum  
(that is, CDMA) based systems. A QAM signal is a carrier  
frequency that is modulated in both amplitude (that is, AM  
modulation) and phase (that is, PM modulation). It can be  
generated by independently modulating two carriers of identical  
frequency but with a 90° phase difference. This results in an  
in-phase (I) carrier component 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 carrier frequency.

In this implementation, it is much more difficult to maintain  
proper gain and phase matching between the I and Q channels.  
The circuit implementation shown in Figure 44 helps improve  
the matching between the I and Q channels, and it shows a path  
for upconversion using the AD8346 quadrature modulator. The  
AD9709 provides both I and Q DACs with a common reference  
that will improve the gain matching and stability. RCAL can be  
used to compensate for any mismatch in gain between the two  
channels. The mismatch may be attributed to the mismatch  
between RSET1 and RSET2, the effective load resistance of each  
channel, and/or the voltage offset of the control amplifier in each  
DAC. The differential voltage outputs of both DACs in the  
AD9709 are fed into the respective differential inputs of the  
AD8346 via matching networks.  
A common and traditional implementation of a QAM  
modulator is shown in Figure 43. The modulation is performed  
in the analog domain in which two DACs are used to generate  
the baseband I and Q components. Each component is then  
typically applied to a Nyquist filter before being applied to a  
quadrature mixer. The matching Nyquist filters shape and limit  
each component’s spectral envelope while minimizing intersymbol  
interference. The DAC is typically updated at the QAM symbol  
rate, or at a multiple of the QAM symbol rate if an interpolating  
filter precedes the DAC. The use of an interpolating filter typically  
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 quadrature  
mixer modulates the I and Q components with the in-phase and  
quadrature carrier frequencies and then sums the two outputs  
to provide the QAM signal.

AD9709  
I and Q digital data can be fed into the AD9709 in two ways. In  
dual port mode, the digital I information drives one input port,  
and the digital Q information drives the other input port. If no  
interpolation filter precedes the DAC, the symbol rate is the rate  
at which the system clock drives the CLK and WRT pins on the  
AD9709. In interleaved mode, the digital input stream at Port 1  
contains the I and the Q information in alternating digital words.  
Using IQSEL and IQRESET, the AD9709 can be synchronized  
to the I and Q data streams. The internal timing of the AD9709  
routes the selected I and Q data to the correct DAC output. In  
interleaved mode, if no interpolation filter precedes the AD9709,  
the symbol rate is half that of the system clock driving the digital  
data stream and the IQWRT and IQCLK pins on the AD9709.  
Distortion in the transmit path can lead to power being transmitted  
out of the defined band. The ratio of power transmitted in-band to  
out-of-band is often referred to as adjacent channel power (ACP).  
This is a regulatory issue due to the possibility of interference  
with other signals being transmitted by air. Regulatory bodies  
define a spectral mask outside of the transmit band, and the ACP  
must fall under this mask. If distortion in the transmit path causes  
the ACP to be above the spectral mask, filtering or different  
component selection is needed to meet the mask requirements.  
Figure 45 displays the results of using the application circuit shown  
in Figure 44 to reconstruct a wideband CDMA (W-CDMA) test  
vector using a bandwidth of 8 MHz that is centered at 2.4 GHz  
and sampled at 65 MHz. The IF frequency at the DAC output is  
15.625 MHz. The adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) for the  
given test vector is measured at greater than 54 dB.

CDMA  
Code division multiple access (CDMA) is an air transmit/receive  
scheme where the signal in the transmit path is modulated with a  
pseudorandom digital code (sometimes referred to as the spreading  
code). The effect of this is to spread the transmitted signal across  
a wide spectrum. Similar to a discrete multitone (DMT) wave-  
form, a CDMA waveform containing multiple subscribers can  
be characterized as having a high peak to average ratio (that is,  
crest factor), thus demanding highly linear components in the  
transmit signal path. The bandwidth of the spectrum is defined  
by the CDMA standard being used, and in operation it is  
implemented by using a spreading code with particular  
characteristics.

AD9709  
EVALUATION BOARD  
This board allows the user flexibility to operate the AD9709 in  
various configurations. Possible output configurations include  
transformer coupled, resistor terminated, and single-ended and  
differential outputs. The digital inputs can be used in dual port  
or interleaved mode and are designed to be driven from various  
word generators, with the on-board option to add a resistor  
network for proper load termination. When operating the  
AD9709, best performance is obtained when running the digital  
supply (DVDD1/DVDD2) at 3.3 V and the analog supply  
(AVDD) at 5 V.  
GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The AD9709-EB is an evaluation board for the AD9709 8-bit  
dual DAC. Careful attention to layout and circuit design,  
combined with a prototyping area, allow the user to easily and  
effectively evaluate the AD9709 in any application where high  
resolution, high speed conversion is required.
