MAX5854
Dual, 10-Bit, 165Msps, Current-Output DAC
General Description
Features
The MAX5854 dual, 10-bit, 165Msps 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
MAX5854 supports single-ended and differential modes
of operation. The 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.
●● 2.7V to 3.6V Single Supply
The MAX5854 can operate in interleaved data mode to
reduce the I/O pin count. This allows the converter to be
updated on a single, 10-bit bus.
●● Programmable Channel Gain Matching

Applications
●● Integrated 1.24V Low-Noise Bandgap Reference
DB7
Pin-compatible, lower speed, and lower resolution versions are also available. Refer to the MAX5853 (10bit, 80Msps), 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.
●● Superior Dynamic Performance
• 73dBc SFDR at fOUT = 40MHz
• UMTS ACLR = 65.5dB at fOUT = 30.7MHz
AGND
The MAX5854 is packaged in a 40-pin TQFN with
exposed paddle (EP) and is specified for the extended
(-40°C to +85°C) temperature range.
●● Full Output Swing and Dynamic Performance at
2.7V Supply
DB9
The MAX5854 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.
●● Low Power
• 190mW with IFS = 20mA at fCLK = 165MHz
DB8
The MAX5854 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 on-chip
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 can be applied for
high-accuracy applications.

The MAX5854 dual, high-speed, 10-bit, current-output
DAC provides superior performance in communication
systems requiring low-distortion analog-signal reconstruction. The MAX5854 combines two DACs and an on-chip
1.24V reference (Figure 2). The current outputs of the
DACs can be configured for differential or single-ended
operation. The full-scale output current range is adjustable from 2mA to 20mA to optimize power dissipation and
gain control.
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 MAX5854. 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.

MODE
The MAX5854 allows both single-ended CMOS and differential clock mode operation, and supports update rates
of up to 165Msps. These modes are selected through an
active-low control line called DCE. In single-ended 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.
Table 3. Gain Difference Setting
www.maximintegrated.com
At power-up, the MAX5854’s default configuration is
internal reference noninterleaved input mode with a gain
of 0dB and a fully operational converter. In shutdown, the
MAX5854 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.

If the DCE pin is pulled low, the MAX5854 will operate
in differential clock mode. In this mode, the clock signal
has to be applied to differential clock input pins CLKXP/
CLKXN. The differential input accepts an input range of
≥0.5VP-P and a common-mode range of 1V to (CVDD 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 MAX5854.

The CLK pin now becomes an output, and provides a
single-ended replica of the differential clock signal, which
can be used to synchronize the input data. Data is written
to the device on the rising edge of the CLK signal.
External Reference
Internal Reference and Control Amplifier
The MAX5854 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 MAX5854 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 x IREF
where IREF is the reference output current (IREF = VREFO/
RSET) and IFS is the full-scale output current. RSET is the
reference resistor that determines the amplifier output current of the MAX5854 (Figure 3). This current is mirrored
into the current-source array where IFS is equally distributed between matched current segments and summed to
valid output current readings for the DACs.
www.maximintegrated.com
To disable the internal reference of the MAX5854, 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 MAX5854 accepts an input data and the DAC conversion rate of up to 165Msps. 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 MAX5854 can also operate in an interleaved data
mode. Programming the IDE bit with a high level activates
this mode (Table 1 and Table 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. In interleaved data
mode, the maximum input data rate per channel is half
of the rate in noninterleaved mode. 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
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 commonmode input requirement of typically 0.7V to 1.0V. The
MAX5854 differential I/Q outputs can maintain the desired
full-scale level at the required 0.7V to 1.0V DC commonmode level when powered from a single 2.85V (±5%)
supply. The MAX5854 meets this low-power requirement
with minimal reduction in dynamic range while eliminating
the need for level-shifting resistor networks.
Differential-to-Single-Ended Conversion
The MAX5854 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-to-single-ended signal conversion. In this configuration, the
MAX5854 operates in differential mode, which reduces
even-order harmonics, and increases the available output
power.
Differential DC-Coupled Configuration
Figure 8 shows the MAX5854 output operating in differential, DC-coupled mode. This configuration can be used
in communications systems employing analog quadrature
upconverters and requiring a baseband sampling, dualchannel, high-speed DAC for I/Q synthesis. In these

Power Supplies, Bypassing,
Decoupling, and Layout
Grounding and power-supply decoupling strongly influence the MAX5854 performance. Unwanted digital crosstalk can couple through the input, reference, power-supply,
and ground connections, which can affect dynamic specifications, like signal-to-noise ratio or spurious-free dynamic
Maxim Integrated │ 15
MAX5854
Dual, 10-Bit, 165Msps, Current-Output DAC
range. In addition, electromagnetic interference (EMI)
can either couple into or be generated by the MAX5854.
Observe the grounding and power-supply decoupling
guidelines for high-speed, 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 MAX5854 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 MAX5854 includes three separate power-supply
inputs: analog (AVDD), digital (DVDD), and clock (CVDD).
Use a single linear regulator power source to branch
out to three separate power-supply lines (AVDD, 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 DVDD, AVDD, and CVDD does not
exceed 150mV.
Thermal Characteristics and Packaging
Thermal Resistance
40-lead thin QFN-EP:
θJA = 38°C/W
The MAX5854 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 x 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 x 3 vias (≤ 0.3mm diameter per via hole and 1.2mm
pitch between via holes) for this 40-pin thin QFN-EP package (package code: T4066-1).
Dynamic Performance Parameter Definitions
Adjacent Channel Leakage Ratio (ACLR)
Commonly used in combination with wideband codedivision multiple-access (WCDMA), ACLR reflects the
leakage power ratio in dB between the measured power
within a channel relative to its adjacent channel. ACLR
provides a quantifiable method of determining out-of-band
spectral energy and its influence on an adjacent channel
when a bandwidth-limited RF signal passes through a
nonlinear device.
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:
THD
= 20 × log
(V2 2 + V3 2 + V4 2... + ...VN 2)
V1
where V1 is the fundamental amplitude, and V2 through
VN are the amplitudes of the 2nd through Nth order harmonics. The MAX5854 uses the first seven harmonics for

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)
Gain Error
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.
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 VREFO/IREF x 32.
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.
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.
