PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The AD9763 is a dual port, high speed, two-channel, 10-bit
CMOS DAC. It integrates two high quality 10-bit TxDAC+
cores, a voltage reference and digital interface circuitry into a small
48-lead LQFP package. The AD9763 offers exceptional ac and
dc performance while supporting update rates up to 125 MSPS.
The AD9763 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.
A mode control pin allows the AD9763 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 con-
verted by the two DACs and updated at half the input data rate.
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.**
The DACs utilize a segmented current source architecture com-
bined with a proprietary switching technique to reduce glitch
energy and to maximize dynamic accuracy. Each DAC provides
differential current output thus supporting single-ended or
differential applications. Both DACs 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%.
The AD9763 is manufactured on an advanced low cost CMOS
process. It operates from a single supply of 3.0 V to 5.0 V and
consumes 380 mW of power.

DEFINITIONS OF SPECIFICATIONS
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.
Differential Nonlinearity (or 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.
Monotonicity

A D/A converter is monotonic if the output either increases or
remains constant as the digital input increases.
Offset Error

The deviation of the output current from the ideal of zero is
called offset error. For IOUTA, 0 mA output is expected when the
inputs are all 0s. For IOUTB, 0 mA output is expected when all
inputs are set to 1s.
Gain Error

The difference between the actual and ideal output span. The
actual span is determined by the output when all inputs are set
to 1s minus the output when all inputs are set to 0s.
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.
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 degree C. For reference drift, the drift is
reported in ppm per degree C.
Power Supply Rejection

The maximum change in the full-scale output as the supplies
are varied from nominal to minimum and maximum specified
voltages.
Settling Time

The time required for the output to reach and remain within a
specified error band about its final value, measured from the
start of the output transition.
Glitch Impulse

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.
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.
Total Harmonic Distortion

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).

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Figure 20 shows a simplified block diagram of the AD9763.
The AD9763 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 DAC’s high output
impedance (i.e., >100 kΩ).
All of these current sources are switched to one or the other of
the two output nodes (i.e., IOUTA or IOUTB) via 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
complementary drive signals to the inputs of the differential
current switches.
The analog and digital sections of the AD9763 have separate
power supply inputs (i.e., AVDD and DVDD) that can operate
independently over a 3 V to 5.5 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 bandgap voltage
reference and two reference control amplifiers.
The full-scale output current of each DAC is regulated by sepa-
rate reference control amplifiers and can be set from 2 mA to
20 mA via an external resistor, RSET, connected to the Full
Scale Adjust (FSADJ) pin. The external resistor, 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. The
full-scale current, IOUTFS, is 32 × IREF.

REFERENCE OPERATION

The AD9763 contains an internal 1.20 V bandgap reference.
This can easily be overridden by an external reference with no
effect on performance. REFIO serves as either an input or out-
put, 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 21.
Figure 21.Internal Reference Configuration
An external reference can be applied to REFIO as shown in
Figure 22. The external reference may provide either a fixed
reference voltage to enhance accuracy and drift performance or
a varying reference voltage for gain control. Note that the 0.1µF
compensation capacitor is not required since the internal refer-
ence is overridden, and the relatively high input impedance of
REFIO minimizes any loading of the external reference.
AD9763
GAINCTRL MODE

The AD9763 allows the gain of each channel to be independently
set 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 (i.e., connected to AGND), the inde-
pendent 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 (i.e., connected
to AVDD), the master/slave channel gain control mode using
one resistor is enabled. In this mode, a single RSET resistor is
connected to FSADJ1 and the resistor on FSADJ2 must be
removed.
NOTE: Only parts with date code of 9930 or later have the
Master/Slave GAINCTRL function. For parts with a date code
before 9930, Pin 42 must be connected to AGND, and the part
will operate in the two resistor, independent gain control mode.
REFERENCE CONTROL AMPLIFIER

Both of the DACs in the AD9763 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 21, so that its current output, IREF, is determined by
the ratio of the VREFIO and an external resistor, RSET, as stated
in Equation 4. IREF is copied to the segmented current sources
with the proper scale factor to set IOUTFS as stated in Equa-
tion 3.
The control amplifier allows a wide (10:1) adjustment span of
IOUTFS from 2mA to 20 mA by setting IREF between 62.5µA
and 625µA. The wide adjustment range of IOUTFS provides
several benefits. The first relates directly to the power dissi-
pation of the AD9763, which is proportional to IOUTFS (refer to
the Power Dissipation section). The second relates to the 20dB
adjustment, which is useful for system gain control purposes.
The small signal bandwidth of the reference control amplifier is
approximately 500 kHz and can be used for low frequency,
small signal multiplying applications.
DAC TRANSFER FUNCTION

Both DACs in the AD9763 provide complementary current
outputs, IOUTA and IOUTB. IOUTA will provide a near full-scale
current output, IOUTFS, when all bits are high (i.e., DAC CODE
= 1023) while IOUTB, the complementary output, provides no
current. The current output appearing at IOUTA and IOUTB is
a function of both the input code and IOUTFS and can be
expressed as:
IOUTA = (DAC CODE /1024) × IOUTFS(1)
IOUTB = (1023 – DAC CODE)/1024) × IOUTFS(2)
where DAC CODE = 0 to 1023 (i.e., Decimal Representation).
As previously mentioned, IOUTFS is a function of the reference
current IREF, which is nominally set by a reference voltage,
VREFIO and external resistor RSET. It can be expressed as:
IOUTFS = 32 × IREF(3)
The two current outputs will typically drive a resistive load di-
rectly or via a transformer. If dc coupling is required, IOUTA and
IOUTB should be directly connected to matching resistive loads,
RLOAD, that are tied to analog common, ACOM. Note, RLOAD
may represent the equivalent load resistance seen by IOUTA or
IOUTB as would be the case in a doubly terminated 50 Ω or
75 Ω cable. The single-ended voltage output appearing at the
IOUTA and IOUTB nodes is simply:
VOUTA = IOUTA × RLOAD(5)
VOUTB = IOUTB × RLOAD(6)
Note the full-scale value of VOUTA and VOUTB should not exceed
the specified output compliance range to maintain specified
distortion and linearity performance.
VDIFF = (IOUTA – IOUTB) × RLOAD(7)
Substituting the values of IOUTA, IOUTB and IREF; VDIFF can be
expressed as:
VDIFF = {(2 × DAC CODE – 1023)/1024} ×
(32 × RLOAD/RSET) × VREFIO(8)
These last two equations highlight some of the advantages of
operating the AD9763 differentially. First, the differential opera-
tion will help cancel common-mode error sources associated
with IOUTA and IOUTB 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 (i.e., VOUTA or VOUTB), thus providing twice the signal
power to the load.
Note, the gain drift temperature performance for a single-ended
(VOUTA and VOUTB) or differential output (VDIFF) of the AD9763
can be enhanced by selecting temperature tracking resistors for
RLOAD and RSET due to their ratiometric relationship as shown in
Equation 8.
ANALOG OUTPUTS

The complementary current outputs in each DAC, IOUTA and
IOUTB, may be configured for single-ended or differential opera-
tion. IOUTA and IOUTB can be converted into complementary
single-ended voltage outputs, VOUTA and VOUTB, via a load resis-
tor, RLOAD, as described in the DAC Transfer Function section
by Equations 5 through 8. The differential voltage, VDIFF, exist-
ing between VOUTA and VOUTB can also be converted to a
single-ended voltage via a transformer or differential amplifier
configuration. The ac performance of the AD9763 is optimum
and specified using a differential transformer coupled output in
which the voltage swing at IOUTA and IOUTB is limited to ±0.5V.
If a single-ended unipolar output is desirable, IOUTA should be
selected.
The distortion and noise performance of the AD9763 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 trans-
former or differential amplifier. These common-mode error
sources include even-order distortion products and noise. The
enhancement in distortion performance becomes more signifi-
cant as the frequency content of the reconstructed waveform
increases. This is due to the first order cancellation of various
Performing a differential-to-single-ended conversion via a trans-
former also provides the ability to deliver twice the reconstructed
signal power to the load (i.e., assuming no source termination).
Since the output currents of IOUTA and IOUTB are complemen-
tary, they become additive when processed differentially. A
properly selected transformer will allow the AD9763 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 associ-
ated with the current sources and is typically 100kΩ in parallel
with 5 pF. It is also slightly dependent on the output voltage
(i.e., 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 will result in the optimum dc
linearity. Note the INL/DNL specifications for the AD9763 are
measured with IOUTA maintained at a virtual ground via an
op amp.
IOUTA and IOUTB also have a negative and positive voltage com-
pliance range that must be adhered to in order to achieve opti-
mum performance. The negative output compliance range of
–1.0V is set by the breakdown limits of the CMOS process.
Operation beyond this maximum limit may result in a break-
down of the output stage and affect the reliability of the AD9763.
The positive output compliance range is slightly dependent on
the full-scale output current, IOUTFS. It degrades slightly from
its nominal 1.25 V for an IOUTFS = 20 mA to 1.00 V for an
IOUTFS = 2 mA. The optimum distortion performance for a
single-ended or differential output is achieved when the maxi-
mum full-scale signal at IOUTA and IOUTB does not exceed 0.5 V.
Applications requiring the AD9763’s output (i.e., VOUTA and/or
VOUTB) to extend its output compliance range should size RLOAD
accordingly. Operation beyond this compliance range will adversely
affect the AD9763’s linearity performance and subsequently
degrade its distortion performance.
DIGITAL INPUTS

The AD9763’s digital inputs consist of two independent chan-
nels. For the dual port mode, each DAC has its own dedicated
10-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 10-bit
parallel data inputs follow straight binary coding where DB9 is
the Most Significant Bit (MSB) and DB0 is the Least Significant
Bit (LSB). IOUTA produces a full-scale output current when all
data bits are at Logic 1. IOUTB produces a complementary out-
put with the full-scale current split between the two outputs as a
function of the input code.
The digital interface is implemented using an edge-triggered
master slave latch. The DAC outputs are updated following
either the rising edge, or every other rising edge of the clock,
depending on whether dual or interleaved mode is being 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 pulsewidth. 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 transi-
DAC TIMING

The AD9763 can operate in two timing modes, dual and inter-
leaved, which are described below. The block diagram in Figure
25 represents the latch architecture in the interleaved timing mode.
DUAL PORT MODE TIMING

For the following section, refer to Figure 2.
When the MODE pin is at Logic 1, the AD9763 operates in
dual port mode. The AD9763 functions as two distinct DACs.
Each DAC has its own completely independent digital input and
control lines.
The AD9763 features a double buffered data path. Data enters
the device through the channel input latches. This data is then
transferred to the DAC latch in each signal path. Once the data
is loaded into the DAC latch, the analog output will settle 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 rising edge of CLK should occur before or simultaneously
with the rising edge of WRT. Should the rising edge of CLK
occur after the rising edge of WRT, a 2ns minimum delay should
be maintained from the rising edge of WRT to the rising edge of
CLK.
Timing specifications for dual port mode are given in Figures 23
and 24.
Figure 23.Dual Mode Timing
Figure 24.Dual Mode Timing
AD9763
INTERLEAVED MODE TIMING

For the following section, refer to Figure 25.
When the MODE pin is at Logic 0, the AD9763 operates in
interleaved mode. WRT1 now functions as IQWRT and CLK1
functions as IQCLK. WRT2 functions as IQSEL and CLK2
functions as IQRESET.
Data enters the device on the rising edge of IQWRT. The logic
level of IQSEL will steer the data to either Channel Latch 1
(IQSEL = 1) or to Channel Latch 2 (IQSEL = 0).
When IQRESET is high, IQCLK is disabled. When IQRESET
goes low, the following rising edge on IQCLK will update both
DAC latches with the data present at their inputs. In the inter-
leaved mode, IQCLK is divided by 2 internally. Following this
first rising edge, the DAC latches will only be 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.
As with the dual port mode, IQCLK should occur before or
simultaneously with IQWRT.
Figure 25.Latch Structure Interleaved Mode
Timing specifications for interleaved mode are given in Figures
26 and 27.
The digital inputs are CMOS-compatible with logic thresholds,
VTHRESHOLD, set to approximately half the digital positive supply
(DVDD) or
VTHRESHOLD = DVDD/2 (±20%)

The internal digital circuitry of the AD9763 is capable of oper-
ating over a digital supply range of 3 V to 5.5 V. As a result, the
digital inputs can also accommodate TTL levels when DVDD is
set to accommodate the maximum high level voltage of the TTL
drivers VOH(MAX). A DVDD of 3 V to 3.3 V will typically
ensure proper compatibility with most TTL logic families. Fig-
ure 28 shows the equivalent digital input circuit for the data and
clock inputs. The sleep mode input is similar with the excep-
tion that it contains an active pull-down circuit, thus ensuring
that the AD9763 remains enabled if this input is left discon-
nected.
Since the AD9763 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 AD9763
with reduced logic swings and a corresponding digital supply
(DVDD) will result 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 AD9763 as well as its required min/max input logic level
thresholds.
Digital signal paths should be kept short and run lengths matched
to avoid propagation delay mismatch. The insertion of a low
value resistor network (i.e., 20 Ω to 100 Ω) between the AD9763
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 up-
date rates, stripline techniques with proper impedance and
termination resistors should be considered to maintain “clean”
digital inputs.
The external clock driver circuitry should provide the AD9763
with a low jitter clock input meeting the min/max logic levels
while providing fast edges. Fast clock edges will help minimize
any jitter that will manifest itself as phase noise on a recon-
structed waveform. Thus, the clock input should be driven by
the fastest logic family suitable for the application.
Note that the clock input could also be driven via a sine wave,
which is centered around the digital threshold (i.e., DVDD/2)
and meets the min/max logic threshold. This will typically result
in a slight degradation in the phase noise, which becomes more
noticeable at higher sampling rates and output frequencies.
Also, at higher sampling rates, the 20% tolerance of the digital
logic threshold should be considered since it will affect the effec-
tive clock duty cycle and, subsequently, cut into the required
data setup and hold times.

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 AD9763 is rising edge triggered, and so
exhibits SNR sensitivity when the data transition is close to this
edge. In general, the goal when applying the AD9763 is to make
the data transition close to the falling clock edge. This becomes
more important as the sample rate increases. Figure 29 shows
the relationship of SNR to clock placement with different
sample rates. Note that at the lower sample rates, much more
tolerance is allowed in clock placement, while much more care
must be taken at higher rates.

fCLK = 125MSPS
SLEEP MODE OPERATION

The AD9763 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 3.0 V to 5.5 V and
temperature range. This mode can be activated by applying a
Logic Level “1” to the SLEEP pin. The SLEEP pin logic thresh-
old is equal to 0.5 × AVDD. This digital input also contains an
active pull-down circuit that ensures the AD9763 remains enabled
if this input is left disconnected. The AD9763 takes less than
50 ns to power down and approximately 5 µs to power back up.
POWER DISSIPATION

The power dissipation, PD, of the AD9763 is dependent on
several factors that include: (1) The power supply voltages
(AVDD and DVDD), (2) the full-scale current output IOUTFS,
(3) the update rate fCLOCK, (4) and the reconstructed digital
input waveform. The power dissipation is directly proportional
to the analog supply current, IAVDD, and the digital supply current,
IDVDD. IAVDD is directly proportional to IOUTFS as shown in
Figure 30 and is insensitive to fCLOCK.
IOUTFS1010
IAVDD2025

Figure 30.IAVDD vs. IOUTFS
Conversely, IDVDD is dependent on both the digital input wave-
form, fCLOCK, and digital supply DVDD. Figures 31 and 32
show IDVDD as a function of full-scale sine wave output ratios
(fOUT/fCLOCK) for various update rates with DVDD = 5 V and
DVDD = 3 V, respectively. Note how IDVDD is reduced by more
than a factor of 2 when DVDD is reduced from 5 V to 3V.

APPLYING THE AD9763
Output Configurations

The following sections illustrate some typical output configura-
tions for the AD9763. Unless otherwise noted, it is assumed
that IOUTFS is set to a nominal 20 mA. For applications requir-
ing the optimum dynamic performance, a differential output
configuration is suggested. A differential output configuration
may consist of either an RF transformer or a differential op
amp configuration. The transformer configuration provides the
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, a bipolar output, signal gain and/or level-shifting,
within the bandwidth of the chosen op amp.
A single-ended output is suitable for applications requiring a
unipolar voltage output. A positive unipolar output voltage will
result if IOUTA and/or IOUTB is connected to an 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 could be configured as an I-V converter, thus convert-
ing IOUTA or IOUTB into a negative unipolar voltage. This con-
figuration provides the best dc linearity since IOUTA or IOUTB is
maintained at a virtual ground. Note that IOUTA provides slightly
better performance than IOUTB.
DIFFERENTIAL COUPLING USING A TRANSFORMER

An RF transformer can be used to perform a differential-to-
single-ended signal conversion as shown in Figure 33. A
differentially coupled transformer output provides the opti-
mum distortion performance for output signals whose spectral
content lies within the transformer’s passband. An RF trans-
former such as the Mini-Circuits T1-1T provides excellent
rejection of common-mode distortion (i.e., even-order har-
monics) and noise over a wide frequency range. It also provides
electrical isolation and the ability to deliver twice the power to
the load. Transformers with different impedance ratios may
also be used for impedance matching purposes. Note that the
transformer provides ac coupling only.
Figure 33.Differential Output Using a Transformer
The center tap on the primary side of the transformer must be
connected to ACOM to provide the necessary dc current path
for both IOUTA and IOUTB. The complementary voltages appear-
ing at IOUTA and IOUTB (i.e., VOUTA and VOUTB) swing symmetri-
cally around ACOM and should be maintained with the specified
output compliance range of the AD9763. 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
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 34. The AD9763 is con-
figured with two equal load resistors, RLOAD, of 25 Ω. The
differential voltage developed across IOUTA and IOUTB is con-
verted to a single-ended signal via the differential op amp con-
figuration. An optional capacitor can be installed across IOUTA
and IOUTB, forming a real pole in a low-pass filter. The addition
of this capacitor also enhances the op amps distortion perfor-
mance by preventing the DACs high slewing output from over-
loading the op amp’s input.
The common-mode rejection of this configuration is typically
determined by the resistor matching. In this circuit, the differ-
ential op amp circuit using the AD8047 is configured to provide
some additional signal gain. The op amp must operate from a
dual supply since its output is approximately ±1.0V. A high
speed amplifier capable of preserving the differential perfor-
mance of the AD9763, while meeting other system level
objectives (i.e., cost, power), should be selected. The op
amp’s differential gain, its gain setting resistor values, and
full-scale output swing capabilities should all be considered
when optimizing this circuit.
