MAXIM MAX5853 Technical data

General Description

The MAX5853 dual, 10-bit, 80Msps digital-to-analog
converter (DAC) provides superior dynamic performance
in wideband communication systems. The device inte­grates two 10-bit DAC cores, and a 1.24V reference. The
converter supports single-ended and differential modes
of operation. The MAX5853 dynamic performance is
maintained over the entire 2.7V to 3.6V power-supply
operating range. The analog outputs support a -1.0V to
+1.25V compliance voltage.

The MAX5853 can also operate in interleave data mode
to reduce the I/O pin count. This allows the converter to
be updated on a single, 10-bit bus.

The MAX5853 features digital control of channel gain
matching to within ±0.4dB in sixteen 0.05dB steps.
Channel matching improves sideband suppression in
analog quadrature modulation applications. The on­chip 1.24V bandgap reference includes a control
amplifier that allows external full-scale adjustments of
both channels through a single resistor. The internal ref­erence can be disabled and an external reference may
be applied for high-accuracy applications.

The MAX5853 features full-scale current outputs of 2mA
to 20mA and operates from a 2.7V to 3.6V single supply.
The DAC supports three modes of power-control opera­tion: normal, low-power standby, and complete power­down. In power-down mode, the operating current is
reduced to 1µA.

The MAX5853 is packaged in a 40-pin thin QFN with
exposed paddle (EP) and is specified for the extended
(-40°C to +85°C) temperature range.

Pin-compatible, higher speed, and lower resolution
versions are also available. Refer to the MAX5854
(10-bit, 165Msps), the MAX5852** (8-bit, 165Msps), and
the MAX5851** (8-bit, 80Msps) data sheets for more
information. See Table 4 at the end of the data sheet.

Dual, 10-Bit, 80Msps, Current-Output DAC

______________________________________________________________________________________ 11

Detailed Description

The MAX5853 dual, high-speed, 10-bit, current-output
DAC provides superior performance in communication
systems requiring low-distortion analog-signal recon­struction. The MAX5853 combines two DACs and an on­chip 1.24V reference (Figure 2). The current outputs of
the DACs can be configured for differential or single­ended operation. The full-scale output current range is
adjustable from 2mA to 20mA to optimize power dissi­pation and gain control.

The MAX5853 accepts an input data and a DAC con­version rate of 80MHz. The inputs are latched on the
rising edge of the clock whereas the output latches on
the following rising edge.

The MAX5853 features three modes of operation: normal,
standby, and power-down (Table 2). These modes allow
efficient power management. In power-down, the
MAX5853 consumes only 1µA of supply current. Wake­up time from standby mode to normal DAC operation
is 3µs.

Programming the DAC

An 8-bit control word routed through channel A’s data
port programs the gain matching, reference, and the
operational mode of the MAX5853. The control word is
latched on the rising edge of CW. CW is independent
of the DAC clock. The DAC clock can always remain
running when the control word is written to the DAC.
Table 1 and Table 2 represent the control word format
and function.

The gain on channel A can be adjusted to achieve gain
matching between two channels in a user’s system.
The gain on channel A can be adjusted from -0.4dB to

0.35dB in steps of 0.05dB by using bits G3 to G0 (see
Table 3).

Device Power-Up and

States of Operation

At power-up, the MAX5853’s default configuration is inter­nal reference, noninterleaved input mode with a gain of
0dB and a fully operational converter. In shutdown, the
MAX5853 consumes only 1µA of supply current, and in
standby the current consumption is 3.1mA. Wake-up time
from standby mode to normal operation is 3µs.

Clock Modes

The MAX5853 allows both single-ended CMOS and dif­ferential clock mode operation, and supports update
rates of up to 80Msps. These modes are selected
through an active-low control line called DCE. In single­ended clock mode (DCE = 1), the CLK pin functions as
an input, which accepts a user-provided single-ended
clock signal. Data is written to the converter on the rising
edge of the clock. The DAC outputs (previous data) are
updated simultaneously on the same edge.

If the DCE pin is pulled low, the MAX5853 operates in
differential clock mode. In this mode, the clock signal
has to be applied to the differential clock input pins
CLKXP/CLKXN. The differential input accepts an input
range of ≥0.5V

P-P

and a common-mode range of 1V to

(CV

DD

- 0.5V), making the part ideal for low-input ampli­tude clock drives. CLKXP/CLKXN also help to minimize
the jitter, and allow the user to connect a crystal oscilla­tor directly to the MAX5853.

The CLK pin now becomes an output, and provides a sin­gle-ended replica of the differential clock signal, which
may be used to synchronize the input data. Data is writ­ten to the device on the rising edge of the CLK signal.

IDE

Interleaved Data Mode. IDE = 1 enables the interleaved data mode. In this mode, digital data for both
channels is applied through channel A in a multiplexed fashion. Channel B data is written on the falling edge
of the clock signal and channel A data is written on the rising edge of the clock signal.

REN

Reference Enable Bit. REN = 0 activates the internal reference. REN = 1 disables the internal reference and

Internal Reference and Control Amplifier

The MAX5853 provides an integrated 50ppm/°C, 1.24V,
low-noise bandgap reference that can be disabled and
overridden with an external reference voltage. REFO
serves either as an external reference input or an inte­grated reference output. If REN = 0, the internal refer­ence is selected and REFO provides a 1.24V (50µA)
output. Buffer REFO with an external amplifier, when
driving a heavy load.

The MAX5853 also employs a control amplifier
designed to simultaneously regulate the full-scale out­put current (IFS) for both outputs of the devices.
Calculate the output current as:

IFS= 32 ✕ I

REF

where I

REF

is the reference output current (I

REF

=

V

REFO

/ R

SET

) and IFSis the full-scale output current. R

SET

is the reference resistor that determines the amplifier out­put current of the MAX5853 (Figure 3). This current is mir­rored into the current-source array where IFSis equally
distributed between matched current segments and
summed to valid output current readings for the DACs.

External Reference

To disable the internal reference of the MAX5853, set
REN = 1. Apply a temperature-stable, external reference
to drive the REFO pin and set the full-scale output
(Figure 4). For improved accuracy and drift performance,
choose a fixed output voltage reference such as the

1.2V, 25ppm/°C MAX6520 bandgap reference.

Detailed Timing

The MAX5853 accepts an input data and DAC con­version rate of up to 80Msps. The input latches on the
rising edge of the clock, whereas the output latches
on the following rising edge.

Figure 5 depicts the write cycle of the two DACs in non­interleaved mode.

The MAX5853 can also operate in an interleaved data
mode. Programming the IDE bit with a high level activates
this mode (Tables 1 and 2). In interleaved mode, data for
both DAC channels is written through input port A.
Channel B data is written on the falling edge of the clock
signal and then channel A data is written on the following
rising edge of the clock signal. Both DAC outputs (chan­nel A and B) are updated simultaneously on the next fol­lowing rising edge of the clock. The interleaved data
mode is attractive for applications where lower data rates
are acceptable and interfacing on a single 10-bit bus is
desired (Figure 6).

Applications Information

Differential-to-Single-Ended Conversion

The MAX5853 exhibits excellent dynamic performance
to synthesize a wide variety of modulation schemes,
including high-order QAM modulation with OFDM.

Figure 7 shows a typical application circuit with output
transformers performing the required differential-to­single-ended signal conversion. In this configuration,
the MAX5853 operates in differential mode, which
reduces even-order harmonics, and increases the
available output power.

Differential DC-Coupled Configuration

Figure 8 shows the MAX5853 output operating in differ­ential, DC-coupled mode. This configuration can be
used in communication systems employing analog
quadrature upconverters and requiring a baseband
sampling, dual-channel, high-speed DAC for I/Q syn-

thesis. In these applications, information bandwidth can
extend from 10MHz down to several hundred kilohertz.
DC-coupling is desirable to eliminate long discharge
time constants that are problematic with large, expen­sive coupling capacitors. Analog quadrature upcon­verters have a DC common-mode input requirement of
typically 0.7V to 1.0V. The MAX5853 differential I/Q out­puts can maintain the desired full-scale level at the
required 0.7V to 1.0V DC common-mode level when
powered from a single 2.85V (±5%) supply. The
MAX5853 meets this low-power requirement with mini­mal reduction in dynamic range while eliminating the
need for level-shifting resistor networks.

Power Supplies, Bypassing,

Decoupling, and Layout

Grounding and power-supply decoupling strongly influ­ence the MAX5853 performance. Unwanted digital
crosstalk can couple through the input, reference,

MAX5853

*Vias connect the land pattern to internal or external copper planes.

power-supply, and ground connections, which can
affect dynamic specifications, like signal-to-noise ratio
or spurious-free dynamic range. In addition, electro­magnetic interference (EMI) can either couple into or
be generated by the MAX5853. Observe the grounding
and power-supply decoupling guidelines for high­speed, high-frequency applications. Follow the power
supply and filter configuration to realize optimum
dynamic performance.

Use of a multilayer printed circuit (PC) board with sepa­rate ground and power-supply planes is recommend­ed. Run high-speed signals on lines directly above the
ground plane. The MAX5853 has separate analog and
digital ground buses (AGND, CGND, and DGND,
respectively). Provide separate analog, digital, and
clock ground sections on the PC board with only one
point connecting the three planes. The ground connec­tion points should be located underneath the device
and connected to the exposed paddle. Run digital sig­nals above the digital ground plane and analog/clock
signals above the analog/clock ground plane. Digital
signals should be kept away from sensitive analog,
clock, and reference inputs. Keep digital signal paths
short and metal trace lengths matched to avoid propa­gation delay and data skew mismatch.

The MAX5853 includes three separate power-supply
inputs: analog (AV

DD

), digital (DVDD), and clock

(CV

DD

). Use a single linear regulator power source to

branch out to three separate power-supply lines (AV

DD

,
DVDD, CVDD) and returns (AGND, DGND, CGND).
Filter each power-supply line to the respective return
line using LC filters comprising ferrite beads and 10µF
capacitors. Filter each supply input locally with 0.1µF
ceramic capacitors to the respective return lines.

Note: To maintain the dynamic performance of the
Electrical Characteristics, ensure the voltage differ­ence between DV

DD

, AVDD, and CVDDdoes not

exceed 150mV.

Thermal Characteristics and Packaging

Thermal Resistance

40-lead thin QFN-EP:

θ

JA

= 38°C/W

The MAX5853 is packaged in a 40-pin thin QFN-EP
package, providing greater design flexibility, increased
thermal efficiency, and optimized AC performance of
the DAC. The EP enables the implementation of
grounding techniques, which are necessary to ensure
highest performance operation.

In this package, the data converter die is attached to an
EP leadframe with the back of this frame exposed at the
package bottom surface, facing the PC board side of
the package. This allows a solid attachment of the pack­age to the PC board with standard infrared (IR) flow sol­dering techniques. A specially created land pattern on
the PC board, matching the size of the EP (4.1mm

✕

4.1mm), ensures the proper attachment and grounding
of the DAC. Designing vias* into the land area and
implementing large ground planes in the PC board
design allows for highest performance operation of the
DAC. Use an array of 3

✕ 3 vias (≤0.3mm diameter per

via hole and 1.2mm pitch between via holes) for this 40­pin thin QFN-EP package (package code: T4066-1).

Dynamic Performance

Parameter Definitions

Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)

THD is the ratio of the RMS sum of all essential harmon­ics (within a Nyquist window) of the input signal to the
fundamental itself. This can be expressed as:

where V1is the fundamental amplitude, and V2through
VNare the amplitudes of the 2nd through Nth order har­monics. The MAX5853 uses the first seven harmonics
for this calculation.

Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)

SFDR is the ratio of RMS amplitude of the carrier fre­quency (maximum signal component) to the RMS value
of their next-largest spectral component. SFDR is usu­ally measured in dBc with respect to the carrier fre­quency amplitude or in dBFS with respect to the DAC’s
full-scale range. Depending on its test condition, SFDR
is observed within a predefined window or to Nyquist.

Multitone Power Ratio (MTPR)

A series of equally spaced tones are applied to the DAC
with one tone removed from the center of the range.
MTPR is defined as the worst-case distortion (usually a
3rd-order harmonic product of the fundamental frequen­cies), which appears as the largest spur at the frequency
of the missing tone in the sequence. This test can be per­formed with any number of input tones; however, four and
eight tones are among the most common test conditions
for CDMA- and GSM/EDGE-type applications.

Intermodulation Distortion (IMD)

The two-tone IMD is the ratio expressed in dBc of either out­put tone to the worst 3rd-order (or higher) IMD products.

Static Performance Parameter Definitions

Integral Nonlinearity (INL)

Integral nonlinearity (INL) is the deviation of the values
on an actual transfer function from a line drawn
between the end points of the transfer function, once
offset and gain errors have been nullified. For a DAC,
the deviations are measured at every individual step.

Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)

Differential nonlinearity (DNL) is the difference between
an actual step height and the ideal value of 1 LSB. A
DNL error specification no more negative than -1 LSB
guarantees monotonic transfer function.

Offset Error

Offset error is the current flowing from positive DAC
output when the digital input code is set to zero. Offset
error is expressed in LSBs.

Gain Error

A gain error is the difference between the ideal and the
actual full-scale output current on the transfer curve,
after nullifying the offset error. This error alters the slope
of the transfer function and corresponds to the same
percentage error in each step. The ideal current is
defined by reference voltage at V

x 32.

Settling Time

The settling time is the amount of time required from the
start of a transition until the DAC output settles to its
new output value to within the converter’s specified
accuracy.

Glitch Impulse

A glitch is generated when a DAC switches between
two codes. The largest glitch is usually generated
around the midscale transition, when the input pattern
transitions from 011…111 to 100…000. This occurs due
to timing variations between the bits. The glitch impulse
is found by integrating the voltage of the glitch at the
midscale transition over time. The glitch impulse is usu­ally specified in pV-s.
