PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The DAC-12100 is a 12-bit, ultra high speed, current
output digital-to-analog converter. This TTL/CMOS
compatible device converts at a rate of 100MHz
and features a 3.0 pV-s glitch energy and excellent
frequency domain specifications. The DAC-12100
develops complementary current outputs of 0 to
–20.48mA and can directly drive 50 Ohm loads.
The excellent dynamic specifications (to Nyquist at
fOUT=2.02MHz) include an SFDR of –85dB. Static
performance includes maximum over temperature
specifications of +/- 1.75LSB and +/-1LSB for
integral and differential nonlinearity, respectively.
The DAC-12100 achieves low power and high speed
performance from an advanced BiCMOS process.
The architecture employs an R/2R resistor network
and a segmented switching current cell arrange-
ment to reduce glitch. Laser trimming assures that
12-bit linearity is achieved and maintained over the
transfer curve. It also incorporates a 12-bit input
data register and bandgap voltage reference with a
buffer amplifier.
The DAC-12100 runs on +5V and –5.2V supplies
and dissipates a maximum of 800mW. It is avail-
able in a 28-pin CLCC solder dipped leads package
with an operating temperature range of 0 to 70°C
and –55 to +125°C. If needed a RoHS version is
available upon request.

Footnotes:
➀
Best fit straight line.
➁
Gain Error measured as the error in the ratio between the full scale output current and the current through R
SET
(1.28mA typ.). Ideally the ratio should be 16.
➂
Clock frequency range is from DC to the guaranteed minimum conversion rate.
➃
Dynamic Range must be limited to a 1V swing within the compliance range.
TECHNICAL NOTES
Clock Termination
The internal 12-bit register is updated on the rising edge of the Data Clock
(pin 26). To minimize reflections and noise at high clock speeds proper
termination techniques should be used. In the PCB layout the clock runs
should be kept as short as possible and have minimal loading. The PCB
should employ a controlled characteristic line impedance (Z
0
) of 50 Ohms.
A shunt termination resistor, equal to Z
0
, should be placed as close to the
CLOCK pin as possible, see Figure 2. The rise, fall and propagation delay
times will be effected by the shunt termination resistor.
Digital Inputs
The DAC-12100 is TTL/CMOS compatible. Data is latched by a Master
register.
Outputs
The outputs I
OUT
(pin 14) and I
OUT
(pin 16) are complementary current out-
puts. Current is steered to either I
OUT
or I
OUT
in proportion to the input code.
The sum of the two currents is always equal to the full scale current minus
one LSB. See Table 1. The output can be converted to a voltage through a
load resistor, typically 50 Ohms. Both current outputs should have the same
load resistance value. See Figure 2. The output voltage generated is:
V
OUT
= I
OUT
(R
OUT
|| 227 Ohms)
where 227 Ohms is the nominal DAC output resistance.

REFERENCE
The internal reference is a –1.23V, typical, bandgap voltage reference. The
internal reference is connected to Reference OUT (REF OUT, pin 20) and the
internal control Amplifier (CTRL IN, pin 19). The control Amplifier OUT (CTRL
OUT, pin 18) should be connected to Reference IN (REF IN, pin17) and to
–5.2V (pin 15) Analog Supply through a 0.1μF and a 0.01uF ceramic capac-
itor (as shown in figure 2) in order to improve the settling time This reduces
switching noise and improves output settling time. The Full Scale Output
Current, I
OUT
(pin 14) and I
OUT
(pin 16), is controlled by the REF OUT (pin 20)
voltage and the R
SET
(pin 24) resistor through the following equation:
Full Scale I
OUT
= (REF OUT Voltage/R
SET
Resistance) x 16
The internal reference (REF OUT) may be overdriven with a more precise
external reference, capable of delivering up to 2mA, to provide better over
temperature performance.
POWER SUPPLIES
In order to reduce power supply noise separate –5.2V analog and digital
power supplies should be used. The power supply lines should be
bypassed with 0.1μF and 0.01μF ceramic capacitors placed as close to the
–5.2V analog pins (15, 25) and digital pins (12, 21) as possible. The analog
and digital power supply ground returns should be connected at one point
as close to the power source as possible. The +5V supply pin (23) should
be bypassed with a 0.1μF ceramic capacitor connected as close to the pin
as possible. See Figure 2.
