GENERAL DESCRIPTION The AD97421 is a 12-bit resolution, wideband, third generation member of the TxDAC series of high performance, low power CMOS digital-to-analog converters (DACs). The TxDAC family, consisting of pin-compatible 8-, 10-, 12-, and 14-bit DACs, is specifically optimized for the transmit signal path of communication systems. All of the devices share the same interface options, small outline package, and pinout, providing an upward or downward component selection path based on performance, resolution, and cost. The AD9742 offers exceptional ac and dc performance while supporting update rates up to 210 MSPS.
The AD9742’s low power dissipation makes it well suited for portable and low power applications. Its power dissipation can be further reduced to a mere 60 mW with a slight degradation in performance by lowering the full-scale current output. Also, a power-down mode reduces the standby power dissipation to approximately 15 mW. A segmented current source architecture is combined with a proprietary switching technique to reduce spurious components and enhance dynamic performance.
Edge-triggered input latches and a 1.2 V temperature compensated band gap reference have been integrated to provide a complete monolithic DAC solution. The digital inputs support 3 V CMOS logic families.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS 1. The AD9742 is the 12-bit member of the pin-compatible
TxDAC family, which offers excellent INL and DNL performance.
2. Data input supports twos complement or straight binary data coding.
3. High speed, single-ended CMOS clock input supports 210 MSPS conversion rate.
4. Low power: Complete CMOS DAC function operates on 135 mW from a 2.7 V to 3.6 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 AD9742 includes a 1.2 V temperature compensated band gap voltage reference.
6. Industry-standard 28-lead SOIC, 28-lead TSSOP, and 32-lead LFCSP packages.

TERMINOLOGY 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 DAC 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 the 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 °C. For reference drift, the drift is reported in ppm per °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) 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).
Multitone Power Ratio The spurious-free dynamic range containing multiple carrier tones of equal amplitude. It is measured as the difference between the rms amplitude of a carrier tone to the peak spurious signal in the region of a removed tone.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION AD9742 consists of a DAC, digital control logic, and full-scale output current control. The 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 LSBs are binary weighted fractions of the middle bits current sources. Implementing the middle and lower bits with current sources, instead of an R-2R ladder, enhances its 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 the architecture that was pioneered in the AD9764 family, with further refinements to reduce distortion contributed by the switching transient. This switch architecture also 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 AD9742 have separate power supply inputs (i.e., AVDD and DVDD) that can operate independently over a 2.7 V to 3.6 V range. The digital section, which is capable of operating at a rate of up to 210 MSPS, consists of edge-triggered latches and segment decoding logic circuitry. The analog section includes the PMOS current sources, the associated differential switches, a 1.2 V band gap voltage reference, and a reference control amplifier.
The DAC full-scale output current is regulated by the reference control amplifier and can be set from 2 mA to 20 mA via an external resistor, RSET, connected to the full-scale adjust (FS ADJ) 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 times IREF.
REFERENCE OPERATION The AD9742 contains an internal 1.2 V band gap reference. The internal reference can be disabled by raising REFLO to AVDD. It can also be easily overridden by an external reference with no effect on performance. REFIO serves as either an input or an 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 and connect REFLO to ACOM via a resistance less than 5 Ω. The internal reference voltage will be present at REFIO. If the voltage at REFIO is to be used anywhere else 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.

An external reference can be applied to REFIO, as shown in Figure 24. 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 0.1 µF compensation capacitor is not required since the internal reference is overridden, and the relatively high input impedance of REFIO minimizes any loading of the external reference.

REFERENCE CONTROL AMPLIFIER The AD9742 contains 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 24, 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 Equation 3.
The control amplifier allows a wide (10:1) adjustment span of IOUTFS over a 2 mA to 20 mA range by setting IREF between 62.5 µA and 625 µA. The wide adjustment span of IOUTFS provides several benefits. The first relates directly to the power dissipation of the AD9742, which is proportional to IOUTFS (see the Power Dissipation section). The second relates to the 20 dB 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 AD9742 provide complementary current outputs, IOUTA and IOUTB. IOUTA provides a near full-scale current output, IOUTFS, when all bits are high (i.e., DAC CODE = 4095), 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:
( ) OUTFSICODEDACIOUTA ×= 4096/ (1)
( ) OUTFSICODEDACIOUTB ×−= /40964095 (2)
where DAC CODE = 0 to 4095 (i.e., decimal representation).
As mentioned previously, 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:
REFOUTFS II ×= 32 (3)
where
SETREFIOREF RVI /= (4)
The two current outputs will typically drive a resistive load directly 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 that 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
LOADOUTA RIOUTAV ×= (5)
LOADOUTB RIOUTBV ×= (6)
Note that the full-scale value of VOUTA and VOUTB should not exceed the specified output compliance range to maintain specified distortion and linearity performance.

Equations 7 and 8 highlight some of the advantages of operating the AD9742 differentially. First, the differential operation helps 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 that the gain drift temperature performance for a single-ended (VOUTA and VOUTB) or differential output (VDIFF) of the AD9742 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 operation. IOUTA and IOUTB can be converted into comple-mentary single-ended voltage outputs, VOUTA and VOUTB, via a load resistor, RLOAD, as described in the DAC Transfer Function section by Equations 5 through 8. The differential voltage, VDIFF, existing 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 AD9742 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.
The distortion and noise performance of the AD9742 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 and/or its amplitude decreases. This is due to the first-order cancellation of various dynamic common-mode distortion mechanisms, digital feedthrough, and noise.
Performing a differential-to-single-ended conversion via a transformer also provides the ability to deliver twice the reconstructed signal power to the load (assuming no source termination). Since the output currents of IOUTA and IOUTB are complementary, they become additive when processed differentially. A properly selected transformer will allow the AD9742 to provide the required power and voltage levels to different loads.
AD9742 Data Sheet
Rev. C | Page 14 of 32
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 (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 that the INL/DNL specifications for the AD9742 are measured with IOUTA maintained at a virtual ground via an op amp.
IOUTA and IOUTB also have a negative and positive voltage compliance range that must be adhered to in order to achieve optimum performance. The negative output compliance range of −1 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 AD9742.
The positive output compliance range is slightly dependent on the full-scale output current, IOUTFS. It degrades slightly from its nominal 1.2 V for an IOUTFS = 20 mA to 1 V for an IOUTFS = 2 mA. 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.
DIGITAL INPUTS The AD9742 digital section consists of 12 input bit channels and a clock input. The 12-bit parallel data inputs follow standard positive binary coding, where DB11 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 output with the full-scale current split between the two outputs as a function of the input code.

Figure 25. Equivalent Digital Input
The digital interface is implemented using an edge-triggered master/slave latch. The DAC output updates on the rising edge of the clock and is designed to support a clock rate as high as 210 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.
CLOCK INPUT SOIC/TSSOP Packages
The 28-lead package options have a single-ended clock input (CLOCK) that must be driven to rail-to-rail CMOS levels. The quality of the DAC output is directly related to the clock quality, and jitter is a key concern. Any noise or jitter in the clock will translate directly into the DAC output. Optimal performance will be achieved if the CLOCK input has a sharp rising edge, since the DAC latches are positive edge triggered.
LFCSP Package
A configurable clock input is available in the LFCSP package, which allows for one single-ended and two differential modes. The mode selection is controlled by the CMODE input, as summarized in Table 7. Connecting CMODE to CLKCOM selects the single-ended clock input. In this mode, the CLK+ input is driven with rail-to-rail swings and the CLK− input is left floating. If CMODE is connected to CLKVDD, the differential receiver mode is selected. In this mode, both inputs are high impedance. The final mode is selected by floating CMODE. This mode is also differential, but internal terminations for positive emitter-coupled logic (PECL) are activated. There is no significant performance difference between any of the three clock input modes.
Table 7. Clock Mode Selection CMODE Pin Clock Input Mode CLKCOM Single-Ended CLKVDD Differential Float PECL
The single-ended input mode operates in the same way as the CLOCK input in the 28-lead packages, as described previously.
In the differential input mode, the clock input functions as a high impedance differential pair. The common-mode level of the CLK+ and CLK− inputs can vary from 0.75 V to 2.25 V, and the differential voltage can be as low as 0.5 V p-p. This mode can be used to drive the clock with a differential sine wave since the high gain bandwidth of the differential inputs will convert the sine wave into a single-ended square wave internally.
The final clock mode allows for a reduced external component count when the DAC clock is distributed on the board using PECL logic. The internal termination configuration is shown in Figure 26. These termination resistors are untrimmed and can vary up to ±20%. However, matching between the resistors should generally be better than ±1%.

DAC TIMING Input Clock and Data Timing Relationship
Dynamic performance in a DAC is dependent on the relationship between the position of the clock edges and the time at which the input data changes. The AD9742 is rising edge triggered, and so exhibits dynamic performance sensitivity when the data transition is close to this edge. In general, the goal when applying the AD9742 is to make the data transition close to the falling clock edge. This becomes more important as the sample rate increases. Figure 27 shows the relationship of SFDR to clock placement with different sample rates. Note that at the lower sample rates, more tolerance is allowed in clock placement, while at higher rates, more care must be taken.

Sleep Mode Operation
The AD9742 has a power-down function that turns off the output current and reduces the supply current to less than 6 mA over the specified supply range of 2.7 V to 3.6 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 Ω AVDD. This digital input also contains an active pull-down circuit that ensures that the AD9742 remains enabled if this input is left disconnected. The AD9742 takes less than 50 ns to power down and approximately 5 µs to power back up.
POWER DISSIPATION The power dissipation, PD, of the AD9742 is dependent on several factors that include:
• The power supply voltages (AVDD, CLKVDD, and DVDD) • The full-scale current output IOUTFS • The update rate fCLOCK • 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 28, and is insensitive to fCLOCK. Conversely, IDVDD is dependent on both the digital input waveform, fCLOCK, and digital supply DVDD. Figure 29 shows IDVDD as a function of full-scale sine wave output ratios (fOUT/fCLOCK) for various update rates with DVDD = 3.3 V.

APPLYING THE AD9742 Output Configurations
The following sections illustrate some typical output configurations for the AD9742. Unless otherwise noted, it is assumed that IOUTFS is set to a nominal 20 mA. For applications requiring 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 optimum high frequency performance and is recommended for any application that allows 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 are 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 converting IOUTA or IOUTB into a negative unipolar voltage. This configuration provides the best dc linearity since IOUTA or IOUTB is maintained at a virtual ground.
DIFFERENTIAL COUPLING USING A TRANSFORMER An RF transformer can be used to perform a differential-to-single-ended signal conversion, as shown in Figure 31. 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 (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 may also be used for impedance matching purposes. Note that the transformer provides ac coupling only.

Figure 31. 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 appearing at IOUTA and IOUTB (i.e., VOUTA and VOUTB) swing symmetrically around ACOM and should be maintained with the specified output compliance range of the AD9742. A differential resistor, RDIFF, may be inserted in applications where the output of the transformer is connected to the load, RLOAD, via a passive reconstruction 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 32. The AD9742 is configured with two equal load resistors, RLOAD, of 25 Ω. 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.

Figure 32. 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 off a dual supply since its output is approximately ±1 V. A high speed amplifier capable of preserving the differential performance of the AD9742 while meeting other system level objectives (e.g., cost or power) should be selected. The op amp’s differential gain, gain setting resistor values, and full-scale output swing capabilities should all be considered when optimizing this circuit.
The differential circuit shown in Figure 33 provides the necessary level shifting required in a single-supply system. In this case, AVDD, which is the positive analog supply for both the AD9742 and the op amp, is also used to level shift the differential output of the AD9742 to midsupply (i.e., AVDD/2). The AD8041 is a suitable op amp for this application.

SINGLE-ENDED, UNBUFFERED VOLTAGE OUTPUT Figure 34 shows the AD9742 configured to provide a unipolar output range of approximately 0 V to 0.5 V for a doubly terminated 50 Ω cable since the nominal full-scale current, IOUTFS, of 20 mA flows through the equivalent RLOAD of 25 Ω. In this case, RLOAD represents the equivalent load resistance seen by IOUTA or IOUTB. The unused output (IOUTA or IOUTB) can be connected to ACOM directly 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 integral nonlinearity (INL), discussed in the Analog Outputs section. For optimum INL performance, the single-ended, buffered voltage output configuration is suggested.

SINGLE-ENDED, BUFFERED VOLTAGE OUTPUT CONFIGURATION Figure 35 shows a buffered single-ended output configuration in which the op amp U1 performs an I-V conversion on the AD9742 output current. U1 maintains IOUTA (or IOUTB) at a virtual ground, minimizing the nonlinear output impedance effect on the DAC’s INL performance as described 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 U1’s slew rate capabilities. 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 U1’s voltage output swing capabilities by scaling IOUTFS and/or RFB. An improvement in ac distortion performance may result with a reduced IOUTFS since U1 will be required to sink less signal current.

POWER AND GROUNDING CONSIDERATIONS, POWER SUPPLY REJECTION Many applications seek high speed and high performance under less than ideal operating conditions. In these application circuits, 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 40 to Figure 43 illustrate the recommended printed circuit board ground, power, and signal plane layouts implemented on the AD9742 evaluation board.
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 will occur over the spectrum from tens of kHz to several MHz. The PSRR versus frequency of the AD9742 AVDD supply over this frequency range is shown in Figure 36.

Figure 36. Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR)
Note that the ratio in Figure 36 is calculated as amps out/volts in. Noise on the analog power supply has the effect of modulating the internal switches, and therefore the output current. The voltage noise on AVDD, therefore, will be added in a nonlinear manner to the desired IOUT. Due to the relative different size of these switches, the PSRR is very code dependent. This can produce a mixing effect that can modulate low frequency power supply noise to higher frequencies. Worst-case PSRR for either one of the differential DAC outputs will occur when the full-scale current is directed toward that output. As a result, the PSRR measurement in Figure 36 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.

Rev. C | Page 18 of 32
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 simplicity’s sake (ignoring harmonics), all of this noise is concentrated at 250 kHz. To calculate how much of this undesired noise will appear as current noise superimposed on the DAC’s full-scale current, IOUTFS, one must determine the PSRR in dB using Figure 36 at 250 kHz. To calculate the PSRR for a given RLOAD, such that the units of PSRR are converted from A/V to V/V, adjust the curve in Figure 36 by the scaling factor 20 Ω log (RLOAD). For instance, if RLOAD is 50 Ω, the PSRR is reduced by 34 dB (i.e., PSRR of the DAC at 250 kHz, which is 85 dB in Figure 36, becomes 51 dB VOUT/VIN).
Proper grounding and decoupling should be a primary objective in any high speed, high resolution system. The AD9742 features separate analog and digital supplies and ground pins to optimize the management of analog and digital ground currents in a system. In general, AVDD, the analog supply, should be decoupled to ACOM, the analog common, as close to the chip as physically
possible. Similarly, DVDD, the digital supply, should be decoupled to DCOM as close to the chip as physically possible.
For those applications that require a single 3.3 V supply for both the analog and digital supplies, a clean analog supply may be generated using the circuit shown in Figure 37. 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.

EVALUATION BOARD GENERAL DESCRIPTION The TxDAC family evaluation boards allow for easy setup and testing of any TxDAC product in the SOIC and LFCSP packages. Careful attention to layout and circuit design, combined with a prototyping area, allows the user to evaluate the AD9742 easily and effectively in any application where high resolution, high speed conversion is required.
This board allows the user the flexibility to operate the AD9742 in various configurations. Possible output configurations include transformer coupled, resistor terminated, and single and differential outputs. The digital inputs are designed to be driven from various word generators, with the on-board option to add a resistor network for proper load termination. Provisions are also made to operate the AD9742 with either the internal or external reference or to exercise the power-down feature.
