Differential Linearity Error is the deviation, expressed in LSBs, from this ideal value. Compliance Voltage The maximum terminal output voltage for which the device will provide the specified current output characteristics. Harmonic 1. Of a sinusoidal wave, an integer multiple of the frequency of the wave. Note: The frequency of the sine wave is called the fundamental frequency or the first harmonic, the second harmonic is twice the fundamental frequency, the third harmonic is three times the fundamental frequency, etc. 2. Of a periodic signal or other periodic phenomenon, such as an electromagnetic wave or a sound wave, a component frequency of the signal that is an integer multiple of the fundamental frequency. Note: The fundamental frequency is the reciprocal of the period of the periodic phenomenon. Integral Linearity Error (ILE) or Integral Nonlinearity (INL) The ideal transfer for a DAC is a straight line drawn between "zero-scale" output and "full-scale" output. ILE is the deviation of the output from the straight line. The deviation of the output at each code is measured and compared to the ideal output at that code. ILE may also be expressed as a sum of DLE starting from code 0…0 to the code that ILE measurement is desired. Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) The ratio of the sum of the power of first 9 harmonics above the fundamental frequency to the power of the fundamental frequency. Usually expressed in dBc. Monotonic A digital-to-analog converter is considered monotonic if the analog output never decreases as the code value at the input increases. A DLE less than -1 LSB would indicate a non-monotonic DAC. Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) The ratio of the fundamental sinusoidal power to the power of the single largest harmonic or spurious signal within the range of the 9th harmonic. Offset Error The deviation, from ideal, at the DAC output when set to zero-scale. In the current output DAC there should be no current flow at zero-scale. Therefore, Offset Error is the amount of current measured with the DAC set to zero-scale. Clock Feedthrough The ratio of the full-scale output to the peak-to-peak noise generated at the DAC output by input clock transitions. Expressed in dBFS. Full-Scale Error The ideal maximum full-scale current output of the DAC is determined by the value of RSET. Full-scale error is the deviation of the output from ideal with the offset error included. Major Code Transition The DAC code transition between 011…1 and 100…0 is referred to as major code transition. This transition often involves maximum number of internal circuit elements to switch states, resulting in worst DLE, ILE, glitch, etc. Gain Error The ideal maximum full-scale current output of the DAC is determined by the value of RSET. Gain error is the deviation of the output from ideal with the offset error removed. Glitch Energy A glitch is a switching transient that appears in the output of a DAC during a code transition. Glitch energy is measured as a product of the output voltage and time duration for major code transition, expressed in pV-s. Full-Scale Output The maximum current output available for a given value of RSET. In the SPT5240 IOP is full-scale at code 1111111111 and ION is full-scale at code 0000000000. Output Rise Time The amount of time for the output to change from 10% to 90% of the full-scale voltage, for a positive full scale transition from zero-scale to full-scale. Zero-Scale Output The minimum current output, ideally zero amps. In the SPT5240 IOP is zero-scale at code 0000000000 and ION is zero-scale at code 1111111111. Output Fall Time The amount of time for the output to change from 90% to 10% of the full-scale voltage, for a negative full scale transition from full-scale to zero-scale. 6 REV. 1 June 2003 SPT5240 DATA SHEET Pin Configuration DGND DVDD DVDD D3 D4 D5 D6 D7 Pin Assignments Analog Outputs IOP DAC current output.

It integrates a DAC core with a bandgap reference and operates from a +3.3V power supply. The DAC architecture is a compound differential current output DAC consisting of a 6-bit fully segmented DAC for the MSBs and a 4-bit fully segmented DAC for the LSBs. The input cell, followed by a master-slave latch, buffers the digital inputs. A 6:64 decoder decodes the digital data for the MSBs, and a 4:16 decoder does so for the LSBs. The N CLK tS tH AGND N/C 16 9 outputs of the decoders are latched using a second bank of master-slave latches whose outputs then drive differential current switches, which steer the appropriate current to the IOP or ION outputs. The analog (AVDD) and digital (DVDD) power supplies are separated on chip to allow flexibility in the interface board. The analog (AGND) and digital (DGND) are separated on chip. Circuit board ground planes should be separated and tied together with a ferrite bead. N+1 Digital Inputs N N+1 tD N+2 N+3 VOP 1 LSB N-2 VON N-1 N N+1 1 LSB tsettling NOTE: Not to scale.

Figure 2 shows the typical interface requirements when used in normal circuit operation. The following sections provide descriptions of the major functions and outline performance criteria to consider for achieving optimal performance. Digital Inputs The SPT5240 has a 10-bit-wide parallel data input designed to work at +3.3V CMOS levels. Fast edges and low transients provide for improved performance. Clock Input The SPT5240 is driven by a single-ended clock circuit. In order to achieve best performance at the highest throughput, a clock generation circuit should provide fast edges and low jitter. Input Protection All I/O pads are protected with an on-chip protection circuit. This circuit provides robust ESD protection in excess of 3,000 volts, in human body model, without sacrificing speed. Power Supplies and Grounding The SPT5240 may be operated in the range of 3.0 to 3.6 volts. Normal operation is recommended to be separate analog and digital supplies operating at +3.3 volts. All power supply pins should be bypassed as close to the package as possible with the smallest capacitor closest to the device. Analog and digital ground planes should be connected together with a ferrite bead as shown in Figure 2 and as close to the DAC as possible. Sleep Mode To conserve power, the SPT5240 incorporates a power down function. This function is controlled by the signal on pin PWD. When PWD is set high, the SPT5240 enters the sleep mode. The analog outputs are both set to zero current output, resulting in less than 10mA current draw from the analog supply. For minimum power dissipation, data and clock inputs should be set to logic low or logic high. Reference The SPT5240 utilizes an on-chip bandgap reference to set full-scale output current level. The current reference to the DAC circuitry is set by the external resistance value between the ISET pin and analog ground. 8 REV. 1 June 2003 SPT5240 DATA SHEET IOUT (mA) Analog Outputs The SPT5240 provides differential current outputs which provide an output level based on the value of RSET at maximum output code (see Figure 3). The required value of RSET may be calculated using the formulas: LSB = IFS/1023 Then: RSET = 1.111 – (1000 • LSB) 4 • LSB Where IFS is the desired full-scale current output. Each output requires a minimum 5Ω load to analog ground. The typical circuit utilizes 50Ω loads to develop voltage for the output transformer (refer to EB5240 data sheet).
