GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Analog Devices AD9768SD D/A converter is a monolithic
current-output converter which can accept 8 bits of ECL-level
digital input voltages and convert them into analog signals at
update rates as high as 100 MSPS. In addition to its use as a
standard D/A converter, it can also be utilized as a two-quadrant
multiplying D/A at multiplying bandwidths as high as 40 MHz.
An inherently low glitch design is used, and the complementary
current outputs are suitable for driving transmission lines
directly. Nominal full-scale output is 20 mA, which corresponds
to a 1 volt drop across a 50 Ω load, or ±1 volt across 100 Ω
returned to +1 volt. The actual output current is determined by
the on-chip reference voltage (V

FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
The reference voltage source is a modified bandgap type
and is nominally –1.26 volts. This reference supply requires
no external regulation. To reduce the possibility of noise
generation and/or instability, Pin 15 (REFERENCE OUT)
can be decoupled using a high-quality ceramic chip
capacitor. Stabilization of the internal loop amplifier is by a
single capacitor connected from Pin 17 (COMPENSATION)
to ground. The minimum value for this capacitor is 3900 pF,
although a 0.01 µF ceramic chip capacitor is recommended.
The incredible speed characteristics of the AD9768SD D/A
converter make it attractive for a wide range of high speed
applications. The ability of the unit to operate as a twoquadrant multiplying D/A converter adds another dimension to its usefulness and makes the AD9768SD a truly
versatile device.
