12-Bit Ultrahigh Speed Monolithic D/A Converter AD568
FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD568 is an ultrahigh-speed, 12-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) settling to 0.025% in 35 ns. The monolithic device is fabricated using Analog Devices' Complementary Bipolar (CB) Process. This is a proprietary process featuring high-speed NPN and PNP devices on the same chip without the use of dielectric isolation or multichip hybrid techniques. The high speed of the AD568 is maintained by keeping impedance levels low enough to minimize the effects of parasitic circuit capacitances. The DAC consists of 16 current sources configured to deliver a 10.24 mA full-scale current. Multiple matched current sources and thin-film ladder techniques are combined to produce bit weighting. The DAC's output is a 10.24 mA full scale (FS) for current output applications or a 1.024 V FS unbuffered voltage output. Additionally, a 10.24 V FS buffered output may be generated using an onboard 1 k span resistor with an external op amp. Bipolar ranges are accomplished by pin strapping. Laser wafer trimming insures full 12-bit linearity. All grades of the AD568 are guaranteed monotonic over their full operating temperature range. Furthermore, the output resistance of the DAC is trimmed to 100 1.0%. The gain temperature coefficient of the voltage output is 30 ppm/C max (K). The AD568 is available in three performance grades. The AD568JQ and KQ are available in 24-pin cerdip (0.3") packages and are specified for operation from 0C to +70C. The AD568SQ features operation from -55C to +125C and is also packaged in the hermetic 0.3" cerdip.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. The ultrafast settling time of the AD568 allows leading edge performance in waveform generation, graphics display and high speed A/D conversion applications. 2. Pin strapping provides a variety of voltage and current output ranges for application versatility. Tight control of the absolute output current reduces trim requirements in externallyscaled applications. 3. Matched on-chip resistors can be used for precision scaling in high speed A/D conversion circuits. 4. The digital inputs are compatible with TTL and +5 V CMOS logic families. 5. Skinny DIP (0.3") packaging minimizes board space requirements and eases layout considerations. 6. The AD568 is available in versions compliant with MILSTD-883. Refer to the Analog Devices Military Products Databook or current AD568/883B data sheet for detailed specifications.

Definitions
LINEARITY ERROR (also called INTEGRAL NONLINEARITY OR INL): Analog Devices defines linearity error as the maximum deviation of the actual analog output from the ideal output (a straight line drawn from 0 to FS) for any bit combination expressed in multiples of 1 LSB. The AD568 is laser trimmed to 1/4 LSB (0.006% of FS) maximum linearity error at +25C for the K version and 1/2 LSB for the J and S versions. DIFFERENTIAL LINEARITY ERROR (also called DIFFERENTIAL NONLINEARITY or DNL): DNL is the measure of the variation in analog value, normalized to full scale, associated with a 1 LSB change in digital input code. Monotonic behavior requires that the differential linearity error not exceed 1 LSB in the negative direction. MONOTONICITY: A DAC is said to be monotonic if the output either increases or remains constant as the digital input increases. UNIPOLAR OFFSET ERROR: The deviation of the analog output from the ideal (0 V or 0 mA) when the inputs are set to all 0s is called unipolar offset error. BIPOLAR OFFSET ERROR: The deviation of the analog output from the ideal (negative half-scale) when the inputs are set to all 0s is called bipolar offset error.
CAUTION ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although the AD568 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

BIPOLAR ZERO ERROR: The deviation of the analog output from the ideal half-scale output of 0 V (or 0 mA) for bipolar mode when only the MSB is on (100 . . .00) is called bipolar zero error. GAIN ERROR: The difference between the ideal and actual output span of FS -1 LSB, expressed in % of FS, or LSB, when all bits are on. GLITCH IMPULSE: Asymmetrical switching times in a DAC give rise to undesired output transients which are quantified by their glitch impulse. It is specified as the net area of the glitch in nV-sec or pA-sec. COMPLIANCE VOLTAGE: The range of allowable voltage at the output of a current-output DAC which will not degrade the accuracy of the output current. SETTLING TIME: The time required for the output to reach and remain within a specified error band about its final value, measured from the digital input transition.

Figure 3 shows the AD568 configured to provide a unipolar 0 to +1.024 V output range. In this mode, the bipolar offset terminal, Pin 21, should be grounded if not used for offset trimming. The nominal output impedance of the AD568 with Pin 19 grounded has been trimmed to 100 , 1%. Other output impedances can be generated with an external resistor, REXT, between Pins 19 and 20. An REXT equalling 300 will yield a total output resistance of 75 , while an REXT of 100 will provide 50 of output resistance. Note that since the full-scale output current of the DAC remains 10.24 mA, changing the load impedance changes the unbuffered output voltage accordingly. Settling time and full-scale range characteristics for these load impedances are provided in the specifications table.

Figure 4 shows the connection scheme used to provide a bipolar output voltage range of 1.024 V. The bipolar offset (-0.512 V) occurs when all bits are OFF (00 . . . 00), bipolar zero (0 V) occurs when the MSB is ON with all other bits OFF (10 . . . 00), and full-scale minus 1 LSB (0.51175 V) is generated when all bits are ON (11 . . . 11). Figure 5 shows an optional bipolar mode with a 2.048 V range. The scale factor in this mode will not be as accurate as the configuration shown in Figure 4, because the laser-trimmed resistor RL is not used. -4-

For full-scale outputs of greater than 1 V, some type of external buffer amplifier is required. The AD840 fills this requirement perfectly, settling to 0.025% from a 10 V full-scale step in less than 100 ns. A 1 k span resistor has been provided on chip for use as a feedback resistor in buffered applications. Using RSPAN (Pins 15, 16) introduces a 100 mW code-dependent power source onto the chip which may generate a slight degradation in linearity. Maximum linearity performance can be realized by using an external span resistor.

The gain and offset are laser trimmed to minimize their effects on circuit performance. However, in some applications, it may be desirable to externally reduce these errors further. In those cases, the following procedures are suggested. UNIPOLAR MODE: (Refer to Figure 6) Step 1 - Set all bits (BIT 1-BIT 12) to Logic "0" (OFF)--note the output voltage. This is the offset error. Step 2 - Set all bits to Logic "1" (ON). Adjust the gain trim resistor so that the output voltage is equal to the desired full scale minus 1 LSB plus the offset error measured in step 1. Step 3 - Reset all bits to Logic "0" (OFF). Adjust the offset trim resistor for 0 V output.

Step 2 - Set all bits to Logic "1" (ON). Adjust gain trim resistor so the output voltage is equal to the desired full-scale minus l LSB .

Figure 8 shows the connections for producing a - 10.24 V fullscale swing. This configuration uses the AD568 in the current output mode into a summing junction at the inverting input terminal of the external op amp. With the load resistor RL grounded, the DAC has an output impedance of 100 . This produces a noise gain of 11 from the noninverting terminal of the op amp, and hence, satisfies the stability criterion of the AD840 (stable at a gain of 10). The addition of a 5 pF compen-5-
AD568
sation capacitor across the 1 k feedback resistor produces optimal settling. Lower noise gain can be achieved by connecting RL to IOUT, increasing the DAC output impedance to approximately 200 , and reducing the noise gain to 6 (illustrated in Figure 9). While the output in this configuration will feature improved noise performance, it is somewhat less stable and may suffer from ringing. The compensation capacitance should be increased to 7 pF to maintain stability at this reduced gain.

Guidelines for Using the AD568
The designer who seeks to combine high speed with high precision faces a challenging design environment. Where tens of milliamperes are involved, fractions of an ohm of misplaced impedance can generate several LSBs of error. Increasing bandwidths make formerly negligible parasitic capacitances and inductances significant. As system performance reaches and exceeds that of the measurement equipment, time-honored test methods may no longer be trustworthy. The DAC's placement on the boundary between the analog and digital domains introduces additional concerns. Proper RF techniques must be used in board design, device selection, supply bypassing, grounding, and measurement if optimal performance is to be realized. The AD568 has been configured to be relatively easy to use, even in some of the more treacherous applications. The device characteristics shown in this data sheet are readily achievable if proper attention is paid to the details. Since a solid understanding of the circuit involved is one of the designer's best weapons against the difficulties of RF design, the following sections provide illustrations, explanations, examples, and suggestions to facilitate successful design with the AD568.

Figure 9. Bipolar Output Buffered 5.12 V
Bipolar Inverting Configuration
Figure 9 illustrates the implementation of a +5.12 V to -5.12 V bipolar range, achieved by connecting the bipolar offset current, IBPO, to the summing junction of the external amplifier. Note that since the amplifier is providing an inversion, the full-scale output voltage is -5.12 V, while the bipolar offset voltage (all bits OFF) is +5.12 V at the amplifier output. -6-
As indicated in Figures 3 through 10, the AD568 has been designed to operate in several different modes depending on the external circuit configuration. While these modes may be categorized by many different schemes, one of the most important distinctions to be made is whether the DAC is to be used to generate an output voltage or an output current. In the current output mode, the DAC output (Pin 20) is tied to some type of summing junction, and the current flowing from the DAC into this summing junction is sensed (e.g., Figures 8 and 9). In this REV. A
AD568
mode, the DAC output scale is insensitive to whether the load resistor, RL, is shorted (Pin 19 connected to Pin 20), or grounded (Pin 19 connected to Pin 18). However, this does affect the output impedance of the DAC current and may have a significant impact on the noise gain of the external circuitry. In the voltage output mode, the DAC's output current flows through its own internal impedance (perhaps in parallel with an external impedance) to generate a voltage, as in Figures 3, 4, 5, and 10. In this case, the DAC output scale is directly dependent on the load impedance. The temperature coefficient of the AD568's internal reference is trimmed in such a way that the drift of the DAC output in the voltage output mode is centered on zero. The current output of the DAC will have an additional drift factor corresponding to the absolute temperature coefficient of the internal thin-film resistors. This additional drift may be removed by judicious placement of the 1 k span resistor in the signal path. For example, in Figures 8 and 9, the current flowing from the DAC into the summing junction could suffer from as much as 150 ppm/C of thermal drift. However, since this current flows through the internal span resistor (Pins 15 and 16) which has a temperature coefficient that matches the DAC ladder resistors, this drift factor is compensated and the buffered voltage at the amplifier output will be within specified limits for the voltage output mode.
Output Voltage Compliance
The threshold of the digital inputs is set at 1.4 V and does not vary with supply voltage. This is provided by a bandgap reference generator, which requires approximately 3 mA of bias current achieved by tying RTH to any +VL supply where
+V L -1.4V RTH = 3 mA
The input lines operate with small input currents to easily achieve interface with unbuffered CMOS logic. The digital input signals to the DAC should be isolated from the analog output as much as possible. To minimize undershoot, ringing, and possible digital feedthrough noise, the interconnect distances to the DAC inputs should be kept as short as possible. Termination resistors may improve performance if the digital lines become too long. The digital input should be free from large glitches and ringing and have maximum 10% to 90% rise and fall times of 5 ns. Figure 12 shows the equivalent digital input circuit of the AD568.

The AD568 has a typical output compliance range of +1.2 V to -2.0 V (with respect to the LCOM Pin). The currentsteering output stages will be unaffected by changes in the output terminal voltage over that range. However, as shown in Figure 11, there is an equivalent output impedance of 200 in parallel with 15 pF at the output terminal which produces an equivalent error current if the voltage deviates from the ladder common. This is a linear effect which does not change with input code. Operation beyond the maximum compliance limits may cause either output stage saturation or breakdown resulting in nonlinear performance. The positive compliance limit is not affected by the positive power supply, but is a function of output current and the logic threshold voltage at VTH, Pin 13.

Due to the high-speed nature of the AD568, it is recommended that high-speed logic families such as Schottky TTL, high-speed CMOS, or the new lines of FAST* TTL be used exclusively. Table I shows how DAC performance can vary depending on the driving logic used. As this table indicates, STTL, HCMOS, and FAST represent the most viable families for driving the AD568.

Digital Input Considerations
The AD568 uses a standard positive true straight binary code for unipolar outputs (all 1s full-scale output), and an offset binary code for bipolar output ranges. In the bipolar mode, with all 0s on the inputs, the output will go to negative full scale; with 111 . . . 11, the output will go to positive full scale less 1 LSB; and with 100 . . 00 (only the MSB on), the output will go to zero.

The variations in settling times can be attributed to differences in the rise time and current driving capabilities of the various families. Differences in the glitch impulse are predominantly dependent upon the variation in data skew. Variations in these specs occur not only between logic families, but also between different gates and latches within the same family. When selecting a gate to drive the AD568 logic input, pay particular attention to the propagation delay time specs: tPLH and tPHL. Selecting the smallest delays possible will help to minimize the settling time, while selection of gates where tPLH and tPHL are closely matched to one another will minimize the glitch impulse resulting from data skew. Of the common latches, the 74374 octal flip-flop provides the best performance in this area for many of the logic families mentioned above.

In many high-speed DAC applications, glitch performance is a critical specification. In a conventional DAC architecture such as the AD568 there are two basic glitch mechanisms: data skew and digital feedthrough. A thorough understanding of these sources can help the user to minimize glitch in any application. DIGITAL FEEDTHROUGH--As with any converter product, a high-speed digital-to-analog converter is forced to exist on the frontier between the noisy environment of high-speed digital logic and the sensitive analog domain. The problems of this interfacing are particularly acute when demands of high speed (greater than 10 MHz switching times) and high precision (12 bits or more) are combined. No amount of design effort can perfectly isolate the analog portions of a DAC from the spectral components of a digital input signal with a 2 ns risetime. Inevitably, once this digital signal is brought onto the chip, some of its higher frequency components will find their way to the sensitive analog nodes, producing a digital feedthrough glitch. To minimize the exposure to this effect, the AD568 has intentionally omitted the on-board latches that have been included in many slower DACs. This not only reduces the overall level of digital activity on chip, it also avoids bringing a latch clock pulse on board, whose opposite edge inevitably produces a substantial glitch, even when the DAC is not supposed to be changing codes. Another path for digital noise to find its way onto a converter chip is through the reference input pin. The completely internal reference featured in the AD568 eliminates this noise input, providing a greater degree of signal integrity in the analog portions of the chip. DATA SKEW--The AD568, like many of its slower predecessors, essentially uses each digital input line to switch a separate, weighted current to either the output (IOUT) or some other node (ANALOG COM). If the input bits are not changed simultaneously, or if the different DAC bits switch at different speeds, then the DAC output current will momentarily take on some incorrect value. This effect is particularly troublesome at the "carry points", where the DAC output is to change by only one LSB, but several of the larger current sources must be switched to realize this change. Data skew can allow the DAC output to move a substantial amount towards full scale or zero (depending upon the direction of the skew) when only a small transition is desired. Great care was taken in the design and layout of the AD568 to ensure that switching times of the DAC switches are symmetrical and that the length of the input data lines are short -8- REV. A

Settling Time Considerations
As can be seen from Table I and the specifications page, the settling time of the AD568 is application dependent. The fastest settling is achieved in the current-output mode, since the voltage output mode requires the output capacitance to be charged to the appropriate voltage. The DAC's relatively large output current helps to minimize this effect, but settling-time sensitive applications should avoid any unnecessary parasitic capacitance at the output node of voltage output configurations. Direct measurement of the fine scale DAC settling time, even in the voltage output mode, is extremely tricky: analog scope front ends are generally incapable of recovering from overdrive quickly enough to give an accurate settling representation. The plot shown in Figure 14 was obtained using Data Precision's 640 16-bit sampling head, which features the quick overdrive recovery characteristic of sampling approaches combined with high accuracy and relatively small thermal tail.
AD568
and well matched. The glitch-sensitive user should be equally diligent about minimizing the data skew at the AD568's inputs, particularly for the 4 or 5 most significant bits. This can be achieved by using the proper logic family and gate to drive the DAC, and keeping the interconnect lines between the logic outputs and the DAC inputs as short and as well matched as possible, particularly for the most significant bits. The top 6 bits should be driven from the same latch chip if latches are used.
Glitch Reduction Schemes
1.4 V, Pin 13 may be directly driven with a voltage source, leaving Pin 14 tied to the ground plane. As Note 2 in Table III indicates, lowering the threshold voltage may reduce output voltage compliance below the specified limits, which may be of concern in an unbuffered voltage output topology.

BIT-DESKEWING--Even carefully laid-out boards using the proper driving logic may suffer from some degree of data-skew induced glitch. One common approach to reducing this effect is to add some appropriate capacitance (usually several pF) to each of the 2 or 3 most significant bits. The exact value of each capacitor for a given application should be determined experimentally, as it will be dependent on circuit board layout and the type of driving logic used. Table II presents a few examples of how the glitch impulse may be reduced through passive deskewing.

NOTES 1 Measurements made on a modified version of the circuit shown in Figure 13, with a 1 V full scale. 2 Use care in any scheme that lowers the threshold voltage since the output voltage compliance of the DAC is sensitive to this voltage. If the DAC is to be operating in the voltage output mode, it is strongly suggested that the threshold voltage be set at least 200 mV above the output voltage full scale.
As Figure 15 indicates, in some cases it may prove useful to place a few hundred ohms of series resistance in the input line to enhance the delay effect. This approach also helps to reduce some of the digital feedthrough glitch, as the higher frequency spectral components are being filtered out of the most significant bits' digital inputs.

Deglitching
Some applications may prove so sensitive to glitch impulse that reduction of glitch impulse by an order of magnitude or more is required. In order to realize glitch impulses this low, some sort of sample-and-hold amplifier (SHA)-based deglitching scheme must be used. There are high-speed SHAs available with specifications sufficient to deglitch the AD568, however most are hybrid in design at costs which can be prohibitive. A high performance, low cost alternative shown in Figure 17 is a discrete SHA utilizing a high-speed monolithic op amp and high-speed DMOS FET switches. This SHA circuit uses the inverting integrator architecture. The AD841 operational amplifier used (300 MHz gain bandwidth product) is fabricated on the same high-speed process as the AD568. The time constant formed by the 200 resistor and the 100 pF capacitor determines the acquisition time and also band limits the output signal to eliminate slew induced distortion. A discrete drive circuit is used to achieve the best performance from the SD5000 quad DMOS switch. This switch driving cell is composed of MPS571 RF npn transistors and an MC10124 TTL to ECL translator. Using this technique provides both high speed and highly symmetrical drive signals for the SD5000 switches. The switches are arranged in a single-throw doublepole (SPDT) configuration. The 360 pF "flyback" capacitor is switched to the op amp summing junction during the hold mode to keep switching transients from feeding to the output. The capacitor is grounded during sample mode to minimize its effect on acquisition time. -9-

THRESHOLD SHIFT--It is also possible to reduce the data skew by shifting the level of logic voltage threshold, VTH (Pin 13). This can be readily accomplished by inserting some resistance between the THRESHOLD COM pin (Pin 14) and ground, as in Figure 16. To generate threshold voltages below REV. A

Circuit layout for a high speed SHA is almost as critical as the design itself. Figure 17 shows a recommended layout of the deglitching cell for a double sided printed circuit board. The layout is very compact with care taken that all critical signal paths are short.

ground for the AD568. The REFERENCE COMMON (and Bipolar offset when not used), should also be connected to this node. All of the current that flows into the VTH terminal (Pin 13) from the resistor tied to the 5 V logic supply (or other convenient positive supply) flows out the THRESHOLD COMMON (Pin 14). This ground pin should be returned directly to the digital ground plane on its own individual line. The +5 V logic supply should be decoupled to the THRESHOLD COMMON.

Because the VTH pin is connected directly to the DAC switches it should be decoupled to the analog output signal common. In order to preserve proper operation of the DAC switches, the digital and analog grounds need to eventually be tied together. This connection between the ground planes should be made within 1/2" of the DAC.

Grounding Rules
The AD568 brings out separate reference, output, and digital power grounds. This allows for optimum management of signal ground currents for low noise and high-speed-settling performance. The separate ground returns are provided to minimize changes in current flow in the analog signal paths. In this way, logic return currents are not summed into the same return path with the analog signals. It is important to understand which supply and signal currents are flowing in which grounds so that they may be returned to the proper power supply in the best possible way. The majority of the current that flows into the VCC supply (Pin 24) flows out (depending on the DAC input code) either the ANALOG COMMON (Pin 18), the LADDER COMMON (Pin 17), and/or IOUT (Pin 20). The current in the LADDER COMMON is configured to be code independent when the output current is being summed into a virtual ground. If IOUT is operated into its own output impedance (or in any unbuffered voltage output mode) the current in LADDER COMMON will become partially code dependent. The current in the ANALOG COMMON (Pin 18) is an approximate complement of the current in IOUT, i.e., zero when the DAC is at full scale and approximately 10 mA at zero input code. A relatively constant current (not code dependent) flows out the REFERENCE COMMON (Pin 23). The current flowing out of the VEE supply (Pin 22) comes from a combination of reference ground and BIPOLAR OFFSET (Pin 21). The plus and minus 15 V supplies are decoupled to the REFERENCE COMMON. The ground side of the load resistor RL, ANALOG COMMON and LADDER COMMON should be tied together as close to the package pins as possible. The analog output voltage is then referred to this node and thus it becomes the "high quality"
If used properly, ground planes can perform a myriad of functions on high-speed circuit boards: bypassing, shielding, current transport, etc. In mixed signal design, the analog and digital portions of the board should be distinct from one another, with the analog ground plane covering analog signal traces and the digital ground plane confined to areas covering digital interconnect. The two ground planes should be connected at or near the DAC. Care should be taken to insure that the ground plane is uninterrupted over crucial signal paths. On the digital side, this includes the digital input lines running to the DAC and any clock lines. On the analog side, this incudes the DAC output signal as well as the supply feeders. The use of side runs or planes in the routing of power lines is also recommended. This serves the dual function of providing a low series impedance power supply to the part as well as providing some ``free'' capacitive decoupling to the appropriate ground plane. Figure 18 illustrates many of the points discussed above. If more layers of interconnect are available, even better results are possible.
Using the Right Bypass Capacitors
Probably the most important external components associated with any high-speed design are the capacitors used to bypass the power supplies. Both selection and placement of these capacitors can be critical and, to a large extent, dependent upon the specifics of the system configurations. The dominant consideration in selection of bypass capacitors for the AD568 is minimization of series resistance and inductance. Many capacitors will begin to look inductive at 20 MHz and above, the very frequencies we are most interested in bypassing. Ceramic and filmtype capacitors generally feature lower series inductance than tantalum or electrolytic types. A few general rules are of universal use when approaching the problem of bypassing: Bypass capacitors should be installed on the printed circuit board with the shortest possible leads consistent with reliable construction. This helps to minimize series inductance in the leads. Chip capacitors are optimal in this respect. Some series inductance between the DAC supply pins and the power supply plane often helps to filter out high-frequency power supply noise. This inductance can be generated using a small ferrite bead.

It is essential that care be taken in the signal and power ground circuits to avoid inducing extraneous voltage drops in the signal ground paths. It is suggested that all connections be short and direct, and as physically close to the package as possible, so that the length of any conduction path shared by external components will be minimized. When runs exceed an inch or so in length, some type of termination resistor may be required. The necessity and value of this resistor will be dependent upon the logic family used. For maximum ac performance, the DAC should be mounted directly to the circuit board; sockets should not be used as they introduce unwanted capacitive coupling between adjacent pins of the device.

The AD568's unique combination of high speed and true 12-bit accuracy can be used to construct a 12-bit SAR-type A/D converter with a sub-s conversion time. Figure 19 shows the configuration used for this application. A negative analog input voltage is converted into current and brought into a summing junction with the DAC current. This summing junction is bidirectionally clamped with two Schottky diodes to limit its voltage excursion from ground. This voltage is differentially amplified and passed to a high-speed comparator. The comparator output is latched and fed back to the successive approximation register, which is then clocked to generated the next set of codes for the DAC.

Circuit Details
Figure 20 shows an approximate timing budget for the A/D converter. If 12 cycles are to be completed in 1 s, approximately 80 ns is allowed for each cycle. Since the Schottky diodes clamp the voltage of the summing junction, the DAC settling time approaches the current-settling value of 35 ns, and hence uses up less than half the timing budget. To maintain simplicity, a simple clock is used that runs at a constant rate throughout the conversion, with a duty cycle of approximately 90%. If absolute speed is worth the additional complexity, the clock frequency can be increased as the conversion progresses since the DAC must settle from increasingly smaller steps. When seeking a cycle time of less than 100 ns, the delays generated by the older generation SAR registers become problematic. Newer, high speed SAR logic chips are becoming available in the classic 2504 pinout that cuts the logic overhead in half. One example of this is Zyrel's ZR2504. Finding a comparator capable of keeping up with this DAC arrangement is fairly difficult: it must respond to an overdrive of 250 V (1 LSB) in less than 25 ns. Since no inexpensive comparator exists with these specs, special arrangements must be made. The LT106 comparator provides relatively quick response, but requires at least 5 mV of overdrive to maintain this speed. A discrete preamplifier may be used to amplify the summing junction voltage to sufficiently overdrive the comparator. Care must be exercised in the layout of the preamp/comparator block to avoid introducing comparator instability with the preamp's additional gain.

AD5539 wideband op amp, a high-speed multiplying DAC can be built. In the application shown in Figure 21, the AD568 is used in a buffered voltage output mode to generate the input to the AD539's control channel. The speed of the AD568 allows oversampling of the control signal waveform voltage, thereby providing increased spectral purity of the amplitude envelope that modulates the analog input channels. The AD568 is configured in the unbuffered unipolar output mode. The internal 200 load resistor creates the 0-1 V FS output signal, which is buffered and amplified to a 0-3 V range suitable for the control channel of the AD539. A 500 input impedance exists at Pin 1, the input channel. To provide a buffer for the 0-1 V output signal from the AD568 looking into the impedance and to achieve the full-scale range, the AD841, high-speed, fast settling op amp is included. The gain of 3 is achieved with a 2 k resistor configured in follower mode with a 1 k pot and 500 resistor. A 20 k pot with connections to Pins 3, 4 and 12 is provided for offset trim. The AD539 can accept two separate input signals, each with a nominal full-scale voltage range of 2 V. Each signal can then be simultaneously controlled by the AD568 signal at the common input channels, Pins 11 and 14, applied to the AD5539 in a subtracting configuration, provide the voltage output signal:

Some AD539 circuit details: The control amplifier compensation capacitor for Pin 2, CC, must have a minimum value of 300 pF to provide circuit stability. For improved bandwidth and feedthrough, the feedthrough capacitor between Pins 1 and 2 should be 5-20% of CC. A Schottky diode at Pin 2 can improve recovery time from small negative values of VX. Lead lengths along the path of the high-speed signal from AD568 should be kept at a minimum.
A powerful use for the AD568 is found in multiplying applications, where the DAC controls the amplitude of a high-speed signal. Specifically, using the AD568 as the control voltage input signal for the AD539 60 MHz analog multiplier and
