AD9772A
DAC OPERATION
The 14-bit DAC, along with the 1.2 V reference and reference
control amplifier, is shown in Figure 37. The DAC consists of a
large PMOS current source array capable of providing up to
20 mA of full-scale current, I
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 values are 1/16
source. The remaining LSBs are binary-weighted fractions of
the middle bits’ current sources. All of these current sources are
switched to one of the two output nodes (that is, I
the PMOS differential current switches. 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 high output impedance of the DAC.
The 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, R

voltage reference, REFIO, sets the reference current, I

The two current outputs typically drive a resistive load directly
or via a transformer. If dc coupling is required, I
should be directly connected to matching resistive loads, R
that are tied to analog common, ACOM. Note that R
represent the equivalent load resistance seen by I
would be the case in a doubly terminated 50 Ω or 75 Ω cable.
The single-ended voltage output appearing at the I
nodes is simply
Note that the full-scale value of V
exceed the specified output compliance range of 1.25 V to
prevent signal compression. To maintain optimum distortion
and linearity performance, the maximum voltages at V

The last two equations highlight some of the advantages of
operating the AD9772A differentially. First, the differential
operation helps cancel common-mode error sources, such as
noise, distortion, and dc offsets, associated with I

as shown in Equation 8.
REFERENCE OPERATION
The AD9772A contains an internal 1.20 V band gap reference
that can easily be disabled and overridden by an external
reference. REFIO serves as either an output or input, depend-
ing on whether the internal or external reference is selected. If
REFLO is tied to ACOM, as shown in Figure 38, the internal
reference is activated, and REFIO provides a 1.20 V output. In
this case, the internal reference must be compensated externally
with a ceramic chip capacitor of 0.1 μF or greater from REFIO
to REFLO. If any additional loading is required, REFIO should
be buffered with an external amplifier having an input bias
current less than 100 nA.
