PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD9784 is a 14-bit, high speed, CMOS DAC with 2×/4×/8×
interpolation and signal processing features tuned for communications applications. It offers state of the art distortion and
noise performance. The AD9784 was developed to meet the
demanding performance requirements of multicarrier and third
generation base stations. The selectable interpolation filters
simplify interfacing to a variety of input data rates while also
taking advantage of oversampling performance gains. The
modulation modes allow convenient bandwidth placement and
selectable sideband suppression.
The flexible clock interface accepts a variety of input types such
as 1 V p-p sine wave, CMOS, and LVPECL in single ended or
differential mode. Internal dividers generate the required data
rate interface clocks.
The AD9784 provides a differential current output, supporting
single-ended or differential applications; it provides a nominal
full-scale current from 10 mA to 20 mA. The AD9784 is
manufactured on an advanced low cost 0.25 µm CMOS process.

AD9784 Preliminary Technical Data
DEFINITIONS OF SPECIFICATIONS
Linearity Error (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.
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 D/A converter 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 offset error. For I
inputs are all 0s. For I
, 0 mA output is expected when the
OUTA
, 0 mA output is expected when all
OUTB
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.
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 degree C. For reference drift, the drift is
reported in ppm per degree C.
Power Supply Rejection
The maximum change in the full-scale output as the supplies
are varied from minimum to maximum specified voltages.
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 is the ratio of the rms sum of the first six harmonic
components to the rms value of the measured fundamental. It is
expressed as a percentage or in decibels (dB).
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
S/N is the ratio of the rms value of the measured output signal
to the rms sum of all other spectral components below the
Nyquist frequency, excluding the first six harmonics and dc. The
value for SNR is expressed in decibels.
Interpolation Filter
If the digital inputs to the DAC are sampled at a multiple rate of
(interpolation rate), a digital filter can be constructed
f
DATA
which has a sharp transition band near f
would typically appear around f
(output data rate) can be
DAC
/2. Images which
DATA
greatly suppressed.
Pass-Band
Frequency band in which any input applied therein passes
unattenuated to the DAC output.
Stop-Band Rejection
The amount of attenuation of a frequency outside the passband applied to the DAC, relative to a full-scale signal applied at
the DAC input within the pass-band.
Group Delay
Number of input clocks between an impulse applied at the
device input and peak DAC output current. A half-band FIR
filter has constant group delay over its entire frequency range
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.
Rev. PrC | Page 10 of 52
Impulse Response
Response of the device to an impulse applied to the input.
Preliminary Technical Data AD9784
Adjacent Channel Power Ratio (or ACPR)
A ratio in dBc between the measured power within a channel
relative to its adjacent channel.
Complex Modulation
The process of passing the real and imaginary components of a
signal through a complex modulator (transfer function = e
coswt + jsinwt) and realizing real and imaginary components
on the modulator output.

Complex Image Rejection
In a traditional two part upconversion, two images are created
around the second IF frequency. These images are redundant
and have the effect of wasting transmitter power and system
bandwidth. By placing the real part of a second complex
modulator in series with the first complex modulator, either the
upper or lower frequency image near the second IF can be
rejected.
