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 fullscale current can be reduced for lower power operation,
and a sleep mode is provided for low power idle periods.

ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on
the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or
loss of functionality.

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.
Power Supply Rejection
The maximum change in the full-scale output as the supplies
are varied from nominal to minimum and maximum specified
voltages.
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.
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.
Temperature Drift
Temperature drift is specified as the maximum change from the
ambient (25°C) value to the value at either T
MIN
or T
MAX
. 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.
