9 Application and Implementation

NOTE

Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

9.1 Application Information

The DAC5675A-SP is a 14-bit resolution high-speed DAC. The DAC5675A-SP is designed for high-speed digital data transmission in wired and wireless communication systems, high-frequency DDS, and waveform reconstruction in test and measurement applications. The DAC5675A-SP has excellent SFDR at high intermediate frequencies, which makes it well suited for multicarrier transmission in TDMA and CDMA based cellular BTSs.

9.2 Typical Application

The DAC5675A-SP consists of a segmented array of NPN-transistor current sources, capable of delivering a full-scale output current up to 20 mA. Differential current switches direct the current of each current source to either one of the complementary output nodes IOUT1 or IOUT2. The complementary current output enables differential operation, canceling out common-mode noise sources (digital feed through, on-chip, and PCB noise), dc offsets, and even order distortion components, and doubling signal output power.

9.2.1 Design Requirements

For this design example, use the parameters listed in Table 1 as the input parameters.

Cest 0.1 µF
Rbias 1 kΩ
RT 200 Ω
Rload 50 Ω

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

The DAC5675A-SP can be easily configured to drive a doubly-terminated 50-Ω cable using a properly selected transformer. Figure 23 and Figure 24 show the 1:1 and 4:1 impedance ratio configuration, respectively. These configurations provide maximum rejection of common-mode noise sources and even-order distortion components, thereby doubling the power of the DAC to the output. The center tap on the primary side of the transformer is terminated to AVDD, enabling a dc-current flow for both IOUT1 and IOUT2. Note that the ac performance of the DAC5675A-SP is optimum and specified using a 1:1 differential transformer-coupled output.
