PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONThe AD766 16-bit DSP DACPORT provides a direct, three-
wire interface to the serial ports of popular DSP processors, in-
cluding the ADSP-2101, TMS320CXX, and DSP56001. No
additional “glue logic” is required. The AD766 is also com-
plete, offering on-chip serial-to-parallel input format conver-
sion, a 16-bit current-steering DAC, voltage reference, and a
voltage output op amp. The AD766 is fabricated in Analog
Devices’ BiMOS II mixed-signal process which provides bipolar
transistors, MOS transistors, and thin-film resistors for preci-
sion analog circuits in addition to CMOS devices for logic.
The design and layout of the AD766 have been optimized for ac
performance and are responsible for its guaranteed and tested
94 dB signal-to-noise ratio to 20 kHz and 79 dB SNR to
250 kHz. Laser-trimming the AD766’s silicon chromium thin-
film resistors reduces total harmonic distortion below –81 dB
(at 1 kHz), a specification also production tested. An optional
linearity trim pin allows elimination of midscale differential
linearity error for even lower THD with small signals.
The AD766’s output amplifier provides a ±3 V signal with a
high slew rate, small glitch, and fast settling. The output ampli-
fier is short circuit protected and can withstand indefinite shorts
to ground.
DACPORT is a registered trademark of Analog Devices, Inc.The serial interface consists of bit clock, data, and latch enable
inputs. The twos-complement data word is clocked MSB first
on falling clock edges into the serial-to-parallel converter, con-
sistent with the serial protocols of popular DSP processors. The
input clock can support data transfers up to 12.5 MHz. The
falling edge of latch enable updates the internal DAC input reg-
ister at the sample rate with the sixteen bits most recently
clocked into the serial input register.
The AD766 operates over a ±5 V to ±12 V power supply range.
The digital supplies, +VL and –VL, can be separated from the
analog signal supplies, +VS and –VS, for reduced digital
crosstalk. Separate analog and digital ground pins are also pro-
vided. An internal bandgap reference provides a precision volt-
age source to the output amp that is stable over temperature and
time.
Power dissipation is typically 120 mW with ±5 V supplies and
300 mW with ±12 V. The AD766 is available in commercial
(0°C to +70°C), industrial (–40°C to +85°C), and military
(–55°C to +125°C) grades. Commercial and industrial grade
parts are available in a 16-pin plastic DIP; military parts pro-
cessed to MIL-STD-883B are packaged in a 16-pin ceramic
DIP. See Analog Devices’ Military Products Databook or current
military data sheet for specifications for the military version.

ESD SENSITIVITYThe AD766 features input protection circuitry consisting of large “distributed” diodes and
polysilicon series resistors to dissipate both high energy discharges (Human Body Model) and
fast, low energy pulses (Charged Device Model). Per Method 3015.2 of MIL-STD-883C, the
AD766 has been classified as a Category 1 Device.
Proper ESD precautions are strongly recommended to avoid functional damage or perfor-
mance degradation. Charges as high as 4000 volts readily accumulate on the human body and

AD766–Definition of Specifications
TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTIONTotal Harmonic Distortion (THD) is defined as the ratio of the
square root of the sum of the squares of the values of the har-
monics to the value of the fundamental input frequency. It is ex-
pressed in percent (%) or decibels (dB).
THD is a measure of the magnitude and distribution of integral
linearity error and differential linearity error. The distribution of
these errors may be different, depending on the amplitude of the
output signal. Therefore, to be most useful, THD should be
specified for both large and small signal amplitudes.
SETTLING TIMESettling Time is the time required for the output to reach and
remain within a specified error band about its final value, mea-
sured from the digital input transition. It is the primary measure
of dynamic performance.
BIPOLAR ZERO ERRORBipolar Zero Error or midscale error is the deviation of the ac-
tual analog output from the ideal output (0 V) when the 2s
complement input code representing half scale (all 0s) is loaded
in the input register.
DIFFERENTIAL LINEARITY ERRORDifferential Linearity Error is the measure of the variation in
analog value, normalized to full scale, associated with a 1 LSB
change in the digital input. Monotonic behavior requires that
the differential linearity error not exceed 1 LSB in the negative
direction.
MONOTONICITYA D/A converter is monotonic if the output either increases or
remains constant as the digital input increases.
SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIOSNR is defined as the ratio of the fundamental to the square
root of the sum of the squares for the values of all the nonfun-
damental, nonharmonic signals for a specified bandwidth. SNR
is tested at full-scale input. The AD766 specifies SNR for
20 kHz and 250 kHz bandwidths.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTIONSerial input data is clocked into the AD766’s shift register by
the falling edge of CLK. Data is presumed to be in twos
complement format with MSB (i.e., the sign bit) clocked in first.
The shift register converts the most recently clocked-in 16 bits
to a parallel word. The falling edge of the latch enable (LE) sig-
nal causes the most recent parallel word to be transferred to the
internal DAC input latch. See Figure 2 for detailed serial port
timing requirements.
The contents of the DAC input latch cause the 16-bit DAC to
generate a corresponding current. This ±1 mA current is avail-
able directly on the IOUT pin.
To use the internal op amp, connect IOUT (Pin 13) directly to
the summing junction pin, SJ (Pin 11) and connect the feedback
resistor pin, RF (Pin 10) to VOUT (Pin 9). Note that the internal
op amp is in the inverting configuration. Using the internal
3 kΩ feedback resistor, this op amp will produce ±3 V outputs.
One advantage of external pins at each end of the feedback
resistor is that it allows the user to implement a single pole
active low-pass filter simply by adding a capacitor across these
pins (Pins 10 and 13). The circuit can best be understood
redrawn as shown in Figure 1.

where RF is 3 kΩ (±20%).
The digital ground pin returns ground current from the digital
logic portions of the AD766 circuitry. This pin should be con-
nected to the digital common point in the system.
As illustrated in Figure 5, the analog and digital grounds should
be connected together at one point in the system.
Figure 5. Recommended Circuit Schematic
POWER SUPPLIES AND DECOUPLINGThe AD766 has four power supply input pins. ±VS provide the
supply voltages to operate the linear portions of the DAC in-
cluding the voltage reference, output amplifier and control am-
plifier. The ±VS supplies are designed to operate from ±5 V to
±12 V.
The ±VL supplies operate the digital portions of the chip, in-
cluding the input shift register and the input latching circuitry.
The ±VL supplies are also designed to operate from ±5 V to
±12 V. To assure freedom from latch-up, –VL should never go
more negative than –VS.
Special restrictions on power supplies apply to extended tem-
perature range versions of the AD766 that do not apply to the
commercial AD766J. First, supplies must be symmetric. That is,
+VS = u–VSu and +VL = u–VLu. Each supply must independently
meet this equality within ±5%. Since we require that –VS ≤ –VL
to guarantee latch-up immunity, this symmetry principle implies
that the positive analog supply must be greater than or equal to
the positive digital supply, i.e., VS ≥ –VL for extended-temper-
ature range parts. In other words, the digital supply range must
be inside the analog supply range. Second, the internal op amp’s
performance in generating voltage outputs is only guaranteed if
+VS ≥ 7 V (and –VS ≤ –7 V, by the symmetry principle). These
constraints do not apply to the AD766J.
Decoupling capacitors should be used on all power supply pins.
Furthermore, good engineering practice suggests that these ca-
pacitors be placed as close as possible to the package pins as
well as the common points. The logic supplies, ±VL, should be
decoupled to digital common; and the analog supplies, ±VS,
should be decoupled to analog common.
The use of four separate power supplies will reduce feedthrough
from the digital portion of the system to the linear portions of
the system, thus contributing to the performance as tested.
However, four separate voltage supplies are not necessary for
good circuit performance. For example, Figure 6 illustrates a
For applications requiring broader bandwidths and/or even
lower noise than that afforded by the AD766’s internal op amp,
an external op amp can easily by used in its place. IOUT (Pin 13)
drives the negative (inverting) input terminal of the external op
amp, and its external voltage output is connected to the feed-
back resistor pin, RF (Pin 10). To insure that the AD766’s un-
used internal op amp remains in a closed-loop configuration,
VOUT (Pin 9) should be tied to the summing junction pin, SJ
(Pin 11).
As an example, Figure 3 shows the AD766 using the AD744 op
amp as an external current-to-voltage converter. In this invert-
ing configuration, the AD744 will provide the same ±3 V out-
put as the internal op amp would have. Other recommended
amplifiers include the AD845 and AD846. Note that a single
pole of low-pass filtering could also be attained with this circuit
simply by adding a capacitor in parallel with the feedback resis-
tor as just shown in Figure 1.
Figure 3. External Op Amp Connections
Residual DAC differential linearity error around midscale can
be externally trimmed out, improving THD beyond the
AD766’s guaranteed tested specifications. This error is most
significant with low-amplitude signals because the ratio of the
midscale linearity error to the signal amplitude is greatest in this
case, thereby increasing THD. The MSB adjust circuitry shown
in Figure 4 can be used for improving THD with low-level sig-
nals. Otherwise, the AD766 will operate to its specifications
with MSB ADJ (Pin 14) and TRIM (Pin 15) unconnected.

ANALOG CIRCUIT CONSIDERATIONS
GROUNDING RECOMMENDATIONSThe AD766 has two ground pins, designated AGND (analog
ground) and DGND (digital ground). The analog ground pin is
the “high-quality” ground reference point for the device. The
analog ground pin should be connected to the analog common
point in the system. The output load should also be connected
to that same point.
AD766system where only a single positive and a single negative supply
are available. In this case, the positive logic and positive analog
supplies may both be connected to the single positive supply.
The negative logic and negative analog supplies may both be
connected to the single negative supply. Performance would
benefit from a measure of isolation between the supplies intro-
duced by using simple low-pass filters in the individual power
supply leads.

Figure 7. Power Dissipation vs. Clock Frequency
As with most linear circuits, changes in the power supplies will
affect the output of the DAC. Analog Devices recommends that
well regulated power supplies with less than 1% ripple be incor-
porated into the design of any system using these device.
MEASUREMENT OF TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTIONThe THD specification of a DSP DAC represents the amount
of undesirable signal produced during reconstruction of a digital
waveform. To account for the variety of operating conditions
in signal processing applications, the DAC is tested at two
output frequencies and at three signal levels over the full oper-
ating temperature ranges.
A block diagram of the test setup is shown in Figure 8. In this
test setup, a digital data stream, representing a 0 dB, –20 dB or
–60 dB sine wave is sent to the device under test. The frequen-
cies used are 1037 Hz and 49.07 kHz. Input data is latched into
the AD766 at 500 kSPS. The AD766 under test produces an
analog output signal using the on-board op amp for 1 kHz and
an external op amp for 50 kHz.
The automatic test equipment digitizes the output test wave-
form, and then an FFT to 250 kHz is performed on the results
of the test. Based on the first 9 harmonics of the fundamental
1037 Hz and the first 3 harmonics of the 49.07 kHz output
waves, the total harmonic distortion of the device is calculated.
Neither a deglitcher nor an MSB trim is used during the THD
test.
The circuit design, layout and manufacturing techniques em-
ployed in the production of the AD766 result in excellent THD
performance. Figure 9 shows the typical unadjusted THD per-
formance of the AD766 for various amplitudes of 1 kHz and
50 kHz sine waves. As can be seen, the AD766 offers excellent
performance even at amplitudes as low as 60 dB. Figure 10
illustrates the typical THD versus frequency performance from
the internal amplifier for a filtered AD766 output. At frequen-
cies greater than approximately 30 kHz, depending on the low-
pass filter used, an improvement in THD of 3–4 dB over the
performance shown in the figure can be achieved. Figure 11
illustrates the consistent THD performance of the AD766
over temperature.
