Operation beyond the positive compliance range will induce
clipping of the output signal which severely degrades the
AD9764’s linearity and distortion performance.
For applications requiring the optimum dc linearity, I

amp configuration. Maintaining I
ground keeps the output impedance of the AD9764 fixed, signifi-
cantly reducing its effect on linearity. However, it does not
necessarily lead to the optimum distortion performance due to
limitations of the I-V op amp. Note that the INL/DNL speci-
fications for the AD9764 are measured in this manner using
I
virtually unaffected over the specified power supply range of
2.7 V to 5.5 V.
Operating the AD9764 with reduced voltage output swings at
I
ration reduces the signal dependency of its output impedance
thus enhancing distortion performance. Although the voltage
compliance range of I
+1.25 V, optimum distortion performance is achieved when the
maximum full-scale signal at I
approximately 0.5 V. A properly selected transformer with a
grounded center-tap will allow the AD9764 to provide the re-
quired power and voltage levels to different loads while main-
taining reduced voltage swings at I

figuration should size R

The most significant improvement in the AD9764’s distortion
and noise performance is realized using a differential output
configuration. The common-mode error sources of both I
and I
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 reconstructed waveform’s
frequency content increases and/or its amplitude decreases.
This is evident in Figure 14, which compares the differential
vs. single-ended performance of the AD9764 at 50 MSPS for
0.0 and –6.0 dBFS single tone waveforms over frequency.
The distortion and noise performance of the AD9764 is also
slightly dependent on the analog and digital supply as well as the
full-scale current setting, I
5.0 V ensures maximum headroom for its internal PMOS current
sources and differential switches leading to improved distortion
performance as shown in Figure 8. Although I
between 2 mA and 20 mA, selecting an I
provide the best distortion and noise performance also shown in
Figure 8. The noise performance of the AD9764 is affected by
the digital supply (DVDD), output frequency, and increases
with increasing clock rate as shown in Figure 13. Operating the
AD9764 with low voltage logic levels between 3 V and 3.3 V
will slightly reduce the amount of on-chip digital noise.

In summary, the AD9764 achieves the optimum distortion and
noise performance under the following conditions:

(5) Digital Supply (DVDD) set at 3.0 V to 3.3 V with appro-
Note that the ac performance of the AD9764 is characterized
under the above mentioned operating conditions.
DIGITAL INPUTS
The AD9764’s digital input consists of 14 data input pins and a
clock input pin. The 14-bit parallel data inputs follow standard
positive binary coding where DB13 is the most significant bit
(MSB), and DB0 is the least significant bit (LSB). I
duces a full-scale output current when all data bits are at Logic
1. I
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 output is updated following the
rising edge of the clock as shown in Figure 1 and is 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.
The digital inputs are CMOS-compatible with logic thresholds,

The internal digital circuitry of the AD9764 is capable of operating
over a digital supply range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V. As a result, the
digital inputs can also accommodate TTL levels when DVDD is

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
AD9764 remains enabled if this input is left disconnected.
