Detailed Description
The ISL5861 is a 12-bit, current out, CMOS, digital to analog
converter. The maximum update rate is at least 210+MSPS
and can be powered by a single power supply in the
recommended range of +3.0V to +3.6V. Operation with clock
rates higher than 210MSPS is possible; please contact the
factory for more information. It consumes less than 120mW
of power when using a +3.3V supply, the maximum 20mA of
output current, and the data switching at 210MSPS. The
architecture is based on a segmented current source
arrangement that reduces glitch by reducing the amount of
current switching at any one time. In previous architectures
that contained all binary weighted current sources or a
binary weighted resistor ladder, the converter might have a
.
substantially larger amount of current turning on and off at
certain, worst-case transition points such as midscale and
quarter scale transitions. By greatly reducing the amount of
current switching at these major transitions, the overall glitch
of the converter is dramatically reduced, improving settling
time, transient problems, and accuracy.
Digital Inputs and Termination
The ISL5861 digital inputs are guaranteed to 3V LVCMOS
levels. The internal register is updated on the rising edge of
the clock. To minimize reflections, proper termination should
be implemented. If the lines driving the clock and the digital
inputs are long 50Ω lines, then 50Ω termination resistors
should be placed as close to the converter inputs as possible
connected to the digital ground plane (if separate grounds
are used). These termination resistors are not likely needed
as long as the digital waveform source is within a few inches
of the DAC. For pattern drivers with very high speed edge
rates, it is recommended that the user consider series
termination (50-200Ω) prior to the DAC’s inputs in order to
reduce the amount of noise.

ISL5861
Power Supply
Separate digital and analog power supplies are
recommended. The allowable supply range is +2.7V to
+3.6V. The recommended supply range is +3.0 to 3.6V
(nominally +3.3V) to maintain optimum SFDR. However,
operation down to +2.7V is possible with some degradation
in SFDR. Reducing the analog output current can help the
SFDR at +2.7V. The SFDR values stated in the table of
specifications were obtained with a +3.3V supply.
Ground Planes
Separate digital and analog ground planes should be used.
All of the digital functions of the device and their
corresponding components should be located over the
digital ground plane and terminated to the digital ground
plane. The same is true for the analog components and the
analog ground plane.
Noise Reduction
To minimize power supply noise, 0.1µF capacitors should be
placed as close as possible to the converter’s power supply
pins, AV
and DVDD. Also, the layout should be designed
DD
using separate digital and analog ground planes and these
capacitors should be terminated to the digital ground for
and to the analog ground for AVDD. Additional filtering
DV
DD
of the power supplies on the board is recommended.
Voltage Reference
The internal voltage reference of the device has a nominal
value of +1.23V with a ±40ppm/
full temperature range of the converter. It is recommended
that a 0.1µF capacitor be placed as close as possible to the
REFIO pin, connected to the analog ground. The REFLO pin
(16) selects the reference. The internal reference can be
selected if pin 16 is tied low (ground). If an external
reference is desired, then pin 16 should be tied high (the
analog supply voltage) and the external reference driven into
REFIO, pin 17. The full scale output current of the converter
is a function of the voltage reference used and the value of

should be within the 2mA to 20mA range,

Analog Output
IOUTA and IOUTB are complementary current outputs. The
sum of the two currents is always equal to the full scale
output current minus one LSB. If single ended use is
desired, a load resistor can be used to convert the output
current to a voltage. It is recommended that the unused
output be either grounded or equally terminated. The voltage
developed at the output must not violate the output voltage
compliance range of -1.0V to 1.25V. R
(the impedance
OUT
loading each current output) should be chosen so that the
desired output voltage is produced in conjunction with the
output full scale current. If a known line impedance is to be
driven, then the output load resistor should be chosen to
match this impedance. The output voltage equation is:
V
OUT
= I
OUT
X R
OUT
.
The most effective method for reducing the power
consumption is to reduce the analog output current, which
dominates the supply current. The maximum recommended
output current is 20mA.
Differential Output
IOUTA and IOUTB can be used in a differential-to-singleended arrangement to achieve better harmonic rejection.

allows the circuit to find a more balanced virtual ground,
theoretically improving the even order harmonic rejection,
but likely reducing the signal swing available due to the
output voltage compliance range limitations.

Propagation Delay
The converter requires two clock rising edges for data to be
represented at the output. Each rising edge of the clock
captures the present data word and outputs the previous
data. The propagation delay is therefore 1/CLK, plus <2ns of
processing. See Figure 15.
