Detailed Description
The HI20203 is an 8-bit, current-output D/A converter. The converter has 10 data bits but yields 8-bit performance. Architecture The HI20203 is a combined R2R/segmented current source design. The 6 least significant bits of the converter are derived by a traditional R2R network to binary weight the 1mA current sources. The upper 4 most significant bits are implemented as segmented or thermometer encoded current sources. The encoder converts the incoming 4 bits to 15 control lines to enable the most significant current sources. The thermometer encoder will convert binary to individual control lines. See Table 1.

01 1111 1111 to 10 0000 0000. But in the HI20203 the glitch is moved to the 00 0001 1111 to 11 1110 0000 transition. This is achieved by the split R2R/segmented current source architecture. This decreases the amount of current switching at any one time and makes the glitch practically constant over the entire output range. By making the glitch a constant size over the entire output range this effectively integrates this error out of the end application. In measuring the output glitch of the HI20203 the output is terminated into a 75Ω load. The glitch is measured at the major carry’s throughout the DACs output range. The glitch energy is calculated by measuring the area under the voltage-time curve. Figure 7 shows the area considered as glitch when changing the DAC output. Units are typically specified in picoVolt/seconds (pV/s).

FIGURE 6. HI20203 GLITCH TEST CIRCUIT
The architecture of the HI20203 is designed to minimize glitch while providing a manufacturable 10-bit design that does not require laser trimming to achieve good linearity. Glitch Glitch is caused by the time skew between bits of the incoming digital data. Typically the switching time of digital inputs are asymmetrical meaning that the turn off time is faster than the turn on time (TTL designs). In an ECL system where the logic levels switch from one non-saturated level to another, the switching times can be considered close to symmetrical. This helps to reduce glitch in the D/A. Unequal delay paths through the device can also cause one current source to change before another. To minimize this the Intersil HI20203 employs an internal register, just prior to the current sources, that is updated on the clock edge. Lastly the worst case glitch usually happens at the major transition i.e.,
t (ns)

Setting Full Scale The Full Scale output voltage is set by the Voltage Reference pin (27). The output voltage performance will vary as shown in Figure 2. The output structure of the HI20203 can handle down to a 75Ω load effectively. To drive a 50Ω load Figure 8 is

suggested. Note the equivalent output load is ~75Ω . The temperature coefficient of the full scale output voltage and zero offset voltage depend on the load resistance connected to IOUT . The larger the load resistor the better (i.e., smaller) the temperature coefficient of the D/A. See Figure 3 in the performance curves section. Noise Reduction Digital switching noise must be minimized to guarantee system specifications. Since 1 LSB corresponds to 1mV for 10-bit resolution, care must be taken in the layout of a circuit board. Separate ground planes should be used for DV SS and AVSS . They should be connected back at the power supply.

Variable Attenuator Capability The HI20203 can be used in a multiplying mode with a variable frequency input on the VREF pin. In order for the part to operate correctly a DC bias must be applied and the incoming AC signal should be coupled to the VREF pin. See Figure 13 for the application circuit. The user must first adjust the DC reference voltage. The incoming signal must be attenuated so as not to exceed the maximum (+1.4V) and minimum (+0.5V) reference input. The typical output Small Signal Bandwidth is 14MHz. Integral Linearity The Integral Linearity is measured using the End Point method. In the End Point method the gain is adjusted. A line is then established from the zero point to the end point or Full Scale of the converter. All codes along the transfer curve must fall within an error band of 1 LSB of the line. Figure 10 shows the linearity test circuit. Differential Linearity The Differential Linearity is the difference from the ideal step. To guarantee monotonicity a maximum of 1 LSB differential error is allowed. When more than 1 LSB is specified the converter is considered to be missing codes. Figure 10 shows the linearity test circuit. Clock Phase Relationship The HI20203 is designed to be operated at very high speed (i.e., 160MHz). The clock lines should be driven with ECL100K logic for full performance. Any external data drivers and clock drivers should be terminated with 50 Ω to minimize reflections and ringing. Internal Data Register The HI20203 incorporates a data register as shown in the Functional Block Diagram. This register is updated on the rising edge of the CLK line. The state of the Complement bit (COMPL) will determine the data coding. See Table 2.
TABLE 2. INPUT CODING TABLE OUTPUT CODE INPUT CODE 00 0000 0000 10 0000 0000 11 1111 1111 COMPL = 1 0 -0.5 -1 COMPL = 0 -1 -0.5 0
Separate power planes should be used for DVEE and AV EE . They should be decoupled with a 1µF tantalum capacitor and a ceramic 0.047µF capacitor positioned as close to the body of the IC as possible.

Measuring Settling Time Settling time is measured as follows. The relationship between V and V0(FS) as shown in the D/A output waveform in Figure 12 is expressed as V = V 0(FS) (1 - e-tτ). The settling time for respective accuracy of 10, 9 and 8-bit is specified as V = 0.9995 V 0(FS) V = 0.999 V0(FS) V = 0.999 V0(FS) which results in the following: tS = 7.60τ tS = 6.93τ tS = 6.24τ for 10-bit, for 9-bit, and for 8-bit,
t V V0(FS) = 1V
τ
Rise time (tr) and fall time (tf) are defined as the time interval to slew from 10% to 90% of full scale voltage (V0(FS)): V = 0.1 V0(FS) V = 0.9 V0(FS)
FIGURE 12. D/A OUTPUT WAVEFORM
and calculated as tr = tf = 2.20τ. The settling time is obtained by combining these expressions: tS = 3.45tr tS = 3.15tr tS = 6.24tr for 10-bit, for 9-bit, and for 8-bit
