power-supply, and ground connections, which can
affect dynamic specifications, like signal-to-noise ratio
or spurious-free dynamic range. In addition, electro-
magnetic interference (EMI) can either couple into or
be generated by the MAX5853. Observe the grounding
and power-supply decoupling guidelines for high-
speed, high-frequency applications. Follow the power
supply and filter configuration to realize optimum
dynamic performance.
Use of a multilayer printed circuit (PC) board with sepa-
rate ground and power-supply planes is recommend-
ed. Run high-speed signals on lines directly above the
ground plane. The MAX5853 has separate analog and
digital ground buses (AGND, CGND, and DGND,
respectively). Provide separate analog, digital, and
clock ground sections on the PC board with only one
point connecting the three planes. The ground connec-
tion points should be located underneath the device
and connected to the exposed paddle. Run digital sig-
nals above the digital ground plane and analog/clock
signals above the analog/clock ground plane. Digital
signals should be kept away from sensitive analog,
clock, and reference inputs. Keep digital signal paths
short and metal trace lengths matched to avoid propa-
gation delay and data skew mismatch.
The MAX5853 includes three separate power-supply
inputs: analog (AV

Filter each power-supply line to the respective return
line using LC filters comprising ferrite beads and 10µF
capacitors. Filter each supply input locally with 0.1µF
ceramic capacitors to the respective return lines.

ence between DV

40-lead thin QFN-EP:
The MAX5853 is packaged in a 40-pin thin QFN-EP
package, providing greater design flexibility, increased
thermal efficiency, and optimized AC performance of
the DAC. The EP enables the implementation of
grounding techniques, which are necessary to ensure
highest performance operation.

In this package, the data converter die is attached to an
EP leadframe with the back of this frame exposed at the
package bottom surface, facing the PC board side of
the package. This allows a solid attachment of the pack-
age to the PC board with standard infrared (IR) flow sol-
dering techniques. A specially created land pattern on
the PC board, matching the size of the EP (4.1mm
4.1mm), ensures the proper attachment and grounding
of the DAC. Designing vias* into the land area and
implementing large ground planes in the PC board
design allows for highest performance operation of the
DAC. Use an array of 3
via hole and 1.2mm pitch between via holes) for this 40-
pin thin QFN-EP package (package code: T4066-1).
THD is the ratio of the RMS sum of all essential harmon-
ics (within a Nyquist window) of the input signal to the
fundamental itself. This can be expressed as:
where V
V
monics. The MAX5853 uses the first seven harmonics
for this calculation.
SFDR is the ratio of RMS amplitude of the carrier fre-
quency (maximum signal component) to the RMS value
of their next-largest spectral component. SFDR is usu-
ally measured in dBc with respect to the carrier fre-
quency amplitude or in dBFS with respect to the DAC’s
full-scale range. Depending on its test condition, SFDR
is observed within a predefined window or to Nyquist.
A series of equally spaced tones are applied to the DAC
with one tone removed from the center of the range.
MTPR is defined as the worst-case distortion (usually a
3rd-order harmonic product of the fundamental frequen-
cies), which appears as the largest spur at the frequency
of the missing tone in the sequence. This test can be per-
formed with any number of input tones; however, four and
eight tones are among the most common test conditions
for CDMA- and GSM/EDGE-type applications.
