1. General description
The DAC1205D750 is a high-speed 12-bit dual channel Digital-to-Analog Converter
(DAC) with selectable 4 or 8 interpolating filters optimized for multi-carrier wireless
transmitters.
Thanks to its digital on-chip modulation, the DAC1205D750 allows the complex I and Q
inputs to be converted from BaseBand (BB) to IF. The mixing frequency is adjusted via a
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) with a 32-bit Numerically Controlled Oscillator (NCO) and
the phase is controlled by a 16-bit register.
Two modes of operation are available: separate data ports or a single interleaved
high-speed data port. In the Interleaved mode, the input data stream is demultiplexed into
its original I and Q data and then latched.
A 4 and 8 clock multiplier enables the DAC1205D750 to provide the appropriate
internal clocks from the internal PLL. The internal PLL can be bypassed enabling the use
of an external high frequency clock. The voltage regulator enables adjustment of the
output full-scale current.

DAC1205D750
Dual 12-bit DAC, up to 750 Msps; 4x and 8x interpolating
10. Application information
10.1 General description
The DAC1205D750 is a dual 12-bit DAC which operates at up to 750 Msps. Each DAC
consists of a segmented architecture, comprising a 6-bit thermometer sub-DAC and an
6-bit binary weighted sub-DAC.
The input data rate of up to 185 MHz combined with the maximum output sampling rate of
750 Msps make the DAC1205D750 extremely flexible in wide bandwidth and multi-carrier
systems. The device’s quadrature modulator and 32-bit NCO simplifies system frequency
selection. This is also possible because the 4 and 8 interpolation filters remove
undesired images.
A SYNC signal is provided to synchronize data when the PLL is in the off state.
Two modes are available for the digital input. In Dual-port mode, each DAC uses its own
data input line. In Interleaved mode, both DACs use the same data input line.
The on-chip PLL enables generation of the internal clock signals for the digital circuitry
and the DAC from a low speed clock. The PLL can be bypassed enabling the use of an
external, high-speed clock.
Each DAC generates two complementary current outputs on pins IOUTAP/IOUTAN and
IOUTBP/IOUTBN. This provides a full-scale output current (IO(fs)) up to 22 mA. An internal
reference is available for the reference current which is externally adjustable using pin
VIRES.
There are also some embedded features to provide an analog offset correction (auxiliary
DACs) and digital offset control as well as for gain adjustment. All the functions can be set
using the SPI.
The DAC1205D750 operates at both 3.3 V and 1.8 V each of which has separate digital
and analog power supplies. The digital input is 1.8 V and 3.3 V compliant and the clock
input is LVDS compliant.
10.2 Serial peripheral interface
10.2.1 Protocol description
The DAC1205D750 Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is a synchronous serial
communication port allowing easy interfacing with many industry microprocessors. It
provides access to the registers that define the operating modes of the chip in both write
and read modes.
This interface can be configured as a 3-wire type (SDIO as a bidirectional pin) or a 4-wire
type (SDIO and SDO as unidirectional pins, input and output port respectively). In both
configurations, SCLK acts as the serial clock and SCS_N acts as the serial chip select
bar. If several DAC1205D750 devices are connected to an application on the same
SPI-bus, only a 3-wire type can be used.
Each read/write operation is sequenced by the SCS_N signal and enabled by a LOW
assertion to drive the chip with 1 to 4 bytes, depending on the content of the instruction
byte (see Table 7).

10.3 Input data
The setting applied to MODE_SEL (register 00h[3]; see Table 10 on page 17) defines
whether the DAC1205D750 operates in the Dual-port mode or in Interleaved mode (see
Table 32).
10.3.1 Dual-port mode
The data input for Dual-port mode operation is shown in Figure 5 “Dual-port mode”. Each
DAC has its own independent data input. The data enters the input latch on the rising
edge of the internal clock signal and is transferred to the DAC latch.
10.3.2 Interleaved mode
The data input for the Interleaved mode operation is illustrated in Figure 6 “Interleaved

Dual 12-bit DAC, up to 750 Msps; 4x and 8x interpolating
In Interleaved mode, both DACs use the same data input at twice the Dual-port mode
frequency. Data enters the latch on the rising edge of the internal clock signal. The data is
sent to either latch I or latch Q, depending on the SELIQ signal.
The SELIQ input (pin 41) allows the synchronization of the internally demultiplexed I and
Q channels; see Figure 7.
The SELIQ signal can be either synchronous or asynchronous (single rising edge, single
pulse). The first data following the SELIQ rising edge is sent in channel I and following
data is sent in channel Q. After this, data is distributed alternately between these
channels.

The DAC1205D750 can operate at the following clock frequencies:
PLL on: up to 185 MHz in Dual-port mode and up to 370 MHz in Interleaved mode
PLL off: up to 750 MHz
The input clock is LVDS compliant (see Figure 8) but it can also be interfaced with CML
differential sine wave signal (see Figure 9).
10.5 Timing
The DAC1205D750 can operate at a sampling frequency (fs) up to 750 Msps with an input
data rate (fdata) up to 185 MHz. When using the internal PLL, the input data is referenced
to the CLK signal. When the internal PLL is bypassed, the SYNC signal is used as a
reference. The input timing in the second case is shown in Figure 10.

Dual 12-bit DAC, up to 750 Msps; 4x and 8x interpolating
10.5.1 Timing when using the internal PLL (PLL on)
In Table 33, the links between internal and external clocking are defined. The setting
applied to PLL_DIV[1:0] (register 02h[4:3]; see Table 9 “Register allocation map”) allows
the frequency between the digital part and the DAC core to be adjusted.
The settings applied to DAC_CLK_DELAY[1:0] (register 02h[2:1]) and DAC_CLK_POL
(register 02h[0]), allow adjustment of the phase and polarity of the sampling clock. This
occurs at the input of the DAC core and depends mainly on the sampling frequency. Some
examples are given in Table 34.
10.5.2 Timing when using an external PLL (PLL off)
It is recommended that a delay of 280 ps is used on the internal digital clock (CLKdig) to
obtain optimum device performance up to750 Msps.
10.6 FIR filters
The DAC1205D750 integrates three selectable Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filters
which enables the device to use 4 or 8 interpolation rates. All three interpolation filters
have a stop-band attenuation of at least 80 dBc and a pass-band ripple of less than
0.0005 dB. The coefficients of the interpolation filters are given in Table 36 “Interpolation
filter coefficients”.

10.7 Quadrature modulator and Numerically Controlled Oscillator (NCO)
The quadrature modulator allows the 12-bit I and Q-data to be mixed with the carrier
signal generated by the NCO.
The frequency of the Numerically Controlled Oscillator (NCO) is programmed over 32-bit
and allows the sign of the sine component to be inverted in order to operate positive or
negative, lower or upper single sideband up-conversion.

10.7.1 NCO in 32-bit
When using the NCO, the frequency can be set by the four registers FREQNCO_LSB,
FREQNCO_LISB, FREQNCO_UISB and FREQNCO_MSB over 32 bits.
The frequency for the NCO in 32-bit is calculated as follows:
(1)
where M is the decimal representation of FREQ_NCO[31:0].
The phase of the NCO can be set from 0 to 360 by both registers PHINCO_LSB and
PHINCO_MSB over 16 bits.
10.7.2 Low-power NCO
When using the low-power NCO, the frequency can be set by the 5 MSB of register
FREQNCO_MSB.
The frequency for the low-power NCO is calculated as follows:
(2)
where M is the decimal representation of FREQ_NCO[31:27].
The phase of the low-power NCO can be set by the 5 MSB of the register PHINCO_MSB.
10.7.3 Minus_3dB function
During normal use, a full-scale pattern will also be full scale at the output of the DAC.
Nevertheless, when the I and Q data are simultaneously close to full scale, some clipping
can occur and the Minus_3dB function can be used to reduce the gain by 3 dB in the
modulator. This is to keep a full-scale range at the output of the DAC without added
interferers.
10.8 x / (sin x)
Due to the roll-off effect of the DAC, a selectable FIR filter is inserted to compensate for
the x / (sin x) effect. This filter introduces a DC loss of 3.4 dB. The coefficients are
represented in Table 37.

10.9 DAC transfer function
The full-scale output current for each DAC is the sum of the two complementary current
outputs:
(3)
The output current depends on the digital input data:
(4)
(5)
The setting applied to CODING (register 00h[2]; see Table 9 “Register allocation map”)
defines whether the DAC1205D750 operates with a binary input or a two’s complement
input.
Table 38 shows the output current as a function of the input data, when IO(fs) = 20 mA.
10.10 Full-scale current
10.10.1 Regulation
The DAC1205D750 reference circuitry integrates an internal bandgap reference voltage
which delivers a 1.29 V reference to the GAPOUT pin. It is recommended to decouple pin
GAPOUT using a 100 nF capacitor.
The reference current is generated via an external resistor of 953 (1 %) connected to
pin VIRES. A control amplifier sets the appropriate full-scale output current (IO(fs)) for both
DACs (see Figure 11).

This configuration is optimum for temperature drift compensation because the bandgap
reference voltage can be matched to the voltage across the feedback resistor.
The DAC current can also be set by applying an external reference voltage to the
non-inverting input pin GAPOUT and disabling the internal bandgap reference voltage
with GAP_PD (register 00h[0]; see Table 10 “COMMon register (address 00h) bit
description”).
10.10.2 Full-scale current adjustment
The default full-scale current (IO(fs)) is 20 mA but further adjustments can be made by the
user to both DACs independently via the serial interface from 1.6 mA to 22 mA, 10 %.
The settings applied to DAC_A_GAIN_COARSE[3:0] (see Table 20 “DAC_A_Cfg_2

The coding of the fine gain adjustment is two’s complement.
10.11 Digital offset adjustment
When the DAC1205D750 analog output is DC connected to the next stage, the digital
offset correction can be used to adjust the common-mode level at the output of the DAC.
It adds an offset at the end of the digital part, just before the DAC.
The settings applied to DAC_A_OFFSET[11:0] (see Table 19 “DAC_A_Cfg_1 register

10.12 Analog output
The DAC1205D750 has two output channels each of which produces two complementary
current outputs. These allow the even-order harmonics and noise to be reduced. The pins
are IOUTAP/IOUTAN and IOUTBP/IOUTBN, respectively and need to be connected via a
load resistor RL to the 3.3 V analog power supply (VDDA(3V3)).
Refer to Figure 12 for the equivalent analog output circuit of one DAC. This circuit consists
of a parallel combination of NMOS current sources, and their associated switches, for
each segment.
The cascode source configuration increases the output impedance of the source, thus
improving the dynamic performance of the DAC by introducing less distortion.
The device can provide an output level of up to 2 Vo(p-p) depending on the application, the
following stages and the targeted performances.

The DAC1205D750 differential outputs can operate up to 2 Vo(p-p). In this configuration, it
is recommended to connect the center tap of the transformer to a 62 resistor connected
to the 3.3 V analog power supply, in order to adjust the DC common-mode to
approximately 2.7 V (see Figure 14).
10.14.2 DC interface to an Analog Quadrature Modulator (AQM)
When the system operation requires to keep the DC component of the spectrum, the
DAC1205D750 can use a DC interface to connect to an AQM. In this case, the offset
compensation for LO cancellation can be made with the use of the digital offset control in
the DAC.
Figure 15 provides an example of a connection to an AQM with a 1.7 VI(cm)

13. Glossary
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR): — The ratio between the RMS value of the
reconstructed output sine wave and the RMS value of the largest spurious observed
(harmonic and non-harmonic, excluding DC component) in the frequency domain.
Intermodulation Distortion (IMD):From a dual-tone digital input sine wave (these
two frequencies being close together), the intermodulation distortion products IMD2 and
IMD3 (respectively, second and third-order components) are defined below.
IMD2 — The ratio of the RMS value of either tone to the RMS value of the worst second
order intermodulation product.
IMD3 — The ratio of the RMS value of either tone to the RMS value of the worst third
order intermodulation product.
Restricted Bandwidth Spurious Free Dynamic Range — The ratio of the RMS value of
the reconstructed output sine wave to the RMS value of the noise, including the
harmonics, in a given bandwidth centered around foffset.
