Applications Information

Clock Interface

To achieve the best possible jitter performance, the

MAX5890 features flexible differential clock inputs

(CLKP, CLKN) that operate from a separate clock

power supply (AV

CLK

). Use a low-jitter clock to reduce

the DAC’s phase noise and wideband noise. To

achieve the best DAC dynamic performance, the

CLKP/CLKN input source must be designed carefully.

The differential clock (CLKN and CLKP) input can be

driven from a single-ended or a differential clock

source. Use differential clock drive to achieve the best

dynamic performance from the DAC. For single-ended

operation, drive CLKP with a low noise source and

bypass CLKN to CGND with a 0.1µF capacitor.

Figure 4 shows a convenient and quick way of applying

a differential signal created from a single-ended source

using a wideband transformer. Alternatively, drive

CLKP/CLKN from a CMOS-compatible clock source.

Use sinewave or AC-coupled differential ECL/PECL

drive for best dynamic performance.

Differential Output Coupling Using a

Wideband RF Transformer

Use a pair of transformers (Figure 5) or a differential

amplifier configuration to convert the differential voltage

existing between OUTP and OUTN to a single-ended

voltage. Optimize the dynamic performance by using a

differential transformer-coupled output and limit the out-

put power to <0dBm full scale. To achieve the best

dynamic performance, use the differential transformer

configuration. Terminate the DAC as shown in Figure 5,

and use 50Ω termination at the transformer single-

ended output. This will provide double 50Ω termination

for the DAC output network. With the double-terminated

output and 20mA full-scale current, the DAC will pro-

duce a full-scale signal level of approximately -2dBm.

Pay close attention to the transformer core saturation

characteristics when selecting a transformer for the

MAX5890. Transformer core saturation can introduce

strong 2nd-order harmonic distortion especially at low

output frequencies and high signal amplitudes. For best

results, connect the center tap of the transformer to

ground. When not using a transformer, terminate each

DAC output to ground with a 25Ω resistor. Additionally,

place a 50Ω resistor between the outputs (Figure 6).

For a single-ended unipolar output, select OUTP as the

output and connect OUTN to AGND. Operating the

MAX5890 single-ended is not recommended because

it degrades the dynamic performance.

The distortion performance of the DAC depends on the

load impedance. The MAX5890 is optimized for 50Ω

differential double termination. Using higher termination

impedance degrades distortion performance and

increases output noise voltage.
