1 Introduction
Digital inputs to the DAC can be provided with CMOS level signals up to 275 MSPS through 80-pin
headers. Doing so enables the user to provide high-speed digital data to the DAC5652A.
The analog output from the DAC is available via SMA connectors. Because of its flexible design the
analog output of the DAC5652A can be configured to drive a 50-Ωterminated cable using a 4:1 or 1:1
impedance ratio transformer or single-ended referred to GND.
Power connections to the EVM are via banana jack sockets. Separate sockets are provided for the analog
and digital supplies.
In addition to the internal band-gap reference provided by the DAC5652A device, options are provided on
the EVM to allow external reference to be provided to the DAC.
1.1 Required Hardware and Software
The following hardware and software are required to evaluate the DAC5652A device:
• DAC5652AEVM: Main circuit board containing the DAC to be evaluated
• TSW1400EVM: Hardware that generates digital patterns for the DAC: TSW1400EVM
• HSDC pro software: Software interface that controls the TSW1400EVM. Version 4.80 or higher is
recommended: dataconverterpro-sw

1.3 DAC5652AEVM Operation Procedure
The DAC5652AEVM can be set up in a variety of configurations to accommodate a specific mode of
operation. Before starting evaluation, the user must decide on the configuration and make the appropriate
connections or changes. The demonstration board comes with following factory-set configuration:
Single clock source mode using a clock input at J3. Single clock source driving CLK_1, WRT_1, CLK_2,
and WRT_2 from WRT_1 input.
• Transformer-coupled outputs using transformer T1 and T2.
• The converter is set to operate with internal reference.
• Full-scale output current set to 19.2 mA through RBIAS resistor R22 and R23 (GSET jumper on J10
installed between pins 10 and 11 and JP2 and JP3 installed).
• The DAC5652A output is enabled (sleep mode disabled). Sleep jumper on J10 is installed between
pins 4 and 5.
• Data input set to dual port mode. Mode jumper on J10 is installed between pins 2 and 3.
• Dual input power supplies required.
• VFUSE function disabled. JP1 installed.
2 Power Requirements
The demonstration board requires only two power supplies. The first, +3.3 VA, is required to be +3.3 VDC
at banana jack J11 with the return going to J12. This supply is the analog supply for the DAC5652A. The
second, +3.3 VB, is required to be +3.3 VDC at banana jack J13 with the return to J14. This supply is the
digital +3.3-V supply for the DAC5652A.
2.1 External Reference Operation
The internal reference can be disabled by simply applying an external reference voltage into the EXTIO
pin using test point 1. The use of an external reference may be considered for applications that require
higher accuracy and drift performance, or to add the ability of dynamic gain control. The reference input
has a high impedance and can easily be driven by various sources.
3 Schematic Diagram
The schematic diagram for the EVM can be down loaded from the product folder at DAC5652AEVM.
3.1 Input Clock
The DAC5652AEVM default operation setting is with a single-ended input clock sent to the DAC5652A. A
3 VPP, 1.5-V offset, 50% duty cycle external square wave is applied to SMA connector J3. This input
represents a 50-Ωload to the source. In order to preserve the specified performance of the DAC5652A
converter, the clock source features very low jitter. Using a clock with a 50% duty cycle gives optimum
dynamic performance. Options are provided to operate the two DACs with separate clocks. Another option
allows the user to provide separate write enables when using interleave mode. See Table 1 for proper
board configuration.

3.2.1 Output Signal
The DAC5652AEVM can be configured to drive a doubly terminated 50-Ωcable or provide unbuffered
differential outputs.
3.2.2 Transformer-Coupled Signal Output
The factory-set configuration of the demonstration board provides the user with a single-ended output
signals from channel A and B of the DAC at SMA connector J1 and J4. The DAC5652A is configured to
drive a doubly terminated 50-Ωcable using a 4:1 impedance ratio transformer and the center tap of T1
and T2 connected to ground. When using a 1:1 impedance ratio transformer, configure the EVM per
Table 2.

3.2.2.1 Unbuffered Differential Output
To provide unbuffered differential outputs, the EVM must be configured as follows: Remove R3, R13, T1,
and T2; Install R10, R12, R15, R18, R25, R29, J6, and J28.
3.2.2.2 Internal Reference Operation
The full-scale output current is set by applying an external resistor (RSET) between the BIASJ pins of the
DAC5652A and ground. The full-scale output current can be adjusted from 20 mA down to 2 mA by
varying RSET or changing the externally applied reference voltage. The full-scale output current, IOUTFS, is
defined as: IOUTFS = 32 × (VEXTIO / RSET), where VEXTIO is the voltage at pin EXTIO. This voltage is 1.2 V
(typical) when using the internally provided band-gap reference voltage source. On the DAC5652AEVM,
R23 is used to set the output current of channel A and R22 is used to set channel B.
4 Device Modes and Settings
4.1 Sleep Mode
The DAC5652AEVM provides a means of placing the DAC5652A into a power-down mode. This mode is
activated by placing jumper J10 between pins 5 and 6.
4.2 Gain Set
The full-scale output current on the DAC5652A can be set two ways: both channels independently or
simultaneously. For independent gain control, set GSET to a logic low. This mode is activated by placing
jumper J10 between pins 7 and 8. For simultaneous mode, set GSET to a logic high. This mode is
activated by placing jumper J10 between pins 8 and 9.
5 Input Data Mode
The DAC5652AEVM provides a means of placing the DAC5652A into a dual-port data input mode or
interleaved mode. With MODE set to a logic high (JP10 set to 2 and 3), the device operates in dual-port
mode. With MODE set to a logic low (JP10 set to 1 and 2), the device operates in interleave mode.
