general description the max5887 is an advanced, 14-bit, 500msps digital-to-analog converter (dac) designed to meet the demanding performance requirements of signal synthe- sis applications found in wireless base stations and other communications applications. operating from a single 3.3v supply, this dac offers exceptional dyna- mic performance such as 76dbc spurious-free dynamic range (sfdr) at f out = 30mhz. the dac supports update rates of 500msps and a power dissipation ofonly 230mw. the max5887 utilizes a current-steering architecture, which supports a full-scale output current range of 2ma to 20ma, and allows a differential output voltage swing between 0.1v p-p and 1v p-p . the max5887 features an integrated 1.2v bandgap ref-erence and control amplifier to ensure high accuracy and low noise performance. additionally, a separate reference input pin enables the user to apply an exter- nal reference source for optimum flexibility and to improve gain accuracy. the digital and clock inputs of the max5887 are designed for differential low-voltage differential signal (lvds)-compatible voltage levels. the max5887 is available in a 68-pin qfn package with an exposed paddle (ep) and is specified for the extended industrial temperature range (-40? to +85?). refer to the max5886 and max5888 data sheets for pin-compatible 12- and 16-bit versions of the max5887. applications base stations: single/multicarrier umts, cdma, gsm communications: lmds, mmds, point-to-point microwave digital signal synthesis automated test equipment (ate) instrumentation features ? 500msps output update rate ? single 3.3v supply operation ? excellent sfdr and imd performance sfdr = 76dbc at f out = 30mhz (to nyquist) imd = -85dbc at f out = 10mhz aclr = 72db at f out = 61mhz ? 2ma to 20ma full-scale output current ? differential, lvds-compatible digital and clockinputs ? on-chip 1.2v bandgap reference ? low 130mw power dissipation ? 68-lead qfn-ep package max5887 3.3v, 14-bit, 500msps high dynamic performance dac with differential lvds inputs ________________________________________________________________ maxim integrated products 1 ordering information 19-2777; rev 2; 12/03 for pricing, delivery, and ordering information, please contact maxim/dallas direct! at 1-888-629-4642, or visit maxim? website at www.maxim-ic.com. part temp range pin-package max5887egk -40 c to +85 c 68 qfn-ep* 5859606162 54555657 63 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 vclk agnd b4p qfn top view dgnddv dd dgndb5n b5p b6n b6p b7n b7p 5253 b8n b8p av dd fsadj refio n.c. dacref agnd av dd ioutp ioutn av dd agndagnd av dd av dd b11nb11p b12n b12p b13n b13pdgnd dv dd sel0 n.c. 35 36 37 n.c. n.c. n.c. dv dd dgnd n.c. n.c. n.c. vclk clkgnd clkn clkp clkgnd n.c. b0n b0p b1n 48 b10p b1p 64 b4n 656667 b2pb3n b3p 68 b2n 2322212019 27262524 18 2928 323130 agnd n.c. 3433 49 50 b9pb10n 51 b9n 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 16 15 14 13 12 1 pd 17 max5887 ep pin configuration * ep = exposed paddle. downloaded from: http:///

max5887 3.3v, 14-bit, 500msps high dynamic performance dac with differential lvds inputs 8 _______________________________________________________________________________________ detailed description architecture the max5887 is a high-performance, 14-bit, current-steering dac (figure 1) capable of operating with clock speeds up to 500mhz. the converter consists of sepa- rate input and dac registers, followed by a current- steering circuit. this circuit is capable of generating differential full-scale currents in the range of 2ma to 20ma. an internal current-switching network in combi- nation with external 50 ? termination resistors convert the differential output currents into a differential outputvoltage with a peak-to-peak output voltage range of 0.1v to 1v. an integrated 1.2v bandgap reference, con- trol amplifier, and user-selectable external resistor determine the data converter? full-scale output range. reference architecture and operation the max5887 supports operation with the on-chip 1.2vbandgap reference or an external reference voltage source. refio serves as the input for an external, low- impedance reference source, and as the output if the dac is operating with the internal reference. for stable operation with the internal reference, refio should bedecoupled to agnd with a 0.1? capacitor. due to its limited output drive capability, refio must be buffered with an external amplifier, if heavier loading is required. the max5887? reference circuit (figure 2) employs a control amplifier, designed to regulate the full-scale current i out for the differential current outputs of the dac. configured as a voltage-to-current amplifier, theoutput current can be calculated as follows: i out = 32 ? i refio - 1lsb i out = 32 ? i refio - (i out / 2 14 ) where i refio is the reference output current (i refio = v refio /r set ) and i out is the full-scale output current of the dac. located between fsadj and dacref, r set is the reference resistor, which determines the amplifi-er? output current for the dac. see table 1 for a matrix of different i out and r set selections. pin name function 45 b12n complementary data bit 12 46 b11p data bit 11 47 b11n complementary data bit 11 48 b10p data bit 10 49 b10n complementary data bit 10 50 b9p data bit 9 51 b9n complementary data bit 9 52 b8p data bit 8 53 b8n complementary data bit 8 54 b7p data bit 7 55 b7n complementary data bit 7 56 b6p data bit 6 57 b6n complementary data bit 6 58 b5p data bit 5 59 b5n complementary data bit 5 63 b4p data bit 4 64 b4n complementary data bit 4 65 b3p data bit 3 66 b3n complementary data bit 3 67 b2p data bit 2 68 b2n complementary data bit 2 pin description (continued) downloaded from: http:///
