AD9752

SLEEP MODE OPERATION
The AD9752 has a power-down function which turns off the
output current and reduces the supply current to less than
8.5 mA over the specified supply range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V and
temperature range. This mode can be activated by applying a
logic level “1” to the SLEEP pin. This digital input also con-
tains an active pull-down circuit that ensures the AD9752 re-
mains enabled if this input is left disconnected. The AD9752
takes less than 50 ns to power down and approximately 5
s to
power back up.
POWER DISSIPATION
The power dissipation, PD, of the AD9752 is dependent on
several factors which include: (1) AVDD and DVDD, the
power supply voltages; (2) IOUTFS, the full-scale current output;
(3) fCLOCK, the update rate; (4) and the reconstructed digital
input waveform. The power dissipation is directly proportional
to the analog supply current, IAVDD, and the digital supply cur-
rent, IDVDD. IAVDD is directly proportional to IOUTFS as shown in
Figure 25 and is insensitive to fCLOCK.
Conversely, IDVDD is dependent on both the digital input wave-
form, fCLOCK, and digital supply DVDD. Figures 26 and 27
show IDVDD as a function of full-scale sine wave output ratios
(fOUT/fCLOCK) for various update rates with DVDD = 5 V and
DVDD = 3 V, respectively. Note, how IDVDD is reduced by more
than a factor of 2 when DVDD is reduced from 5 V to 3 V.

APPLYING THE AD9752
OUTPUT CONFIGURATIONS
The following sections illustrate some typical output configura-
tions for the AD9752. Unless otherwise noted, it is assumed
that IOUTFS is set to a nominal 20 mA. For applications requir-
ing the optimum dynamic performance, a differential output
configuration is suggested. A differential output configuration
may consist of either an RF transformer or a differential op amp
configuration. The transformer configuration provides the opti-
mum high frequency performance and is recommended for any
application allowing for ac coupling. The differential op amp
configuration is suitable for applications requiring dc coupling, a
bipolar output, signal gain and/or level shifting.
A single-ended output is suitable for applications requiring a
unipolar voltage output. A positive unipolar output voltage will
result if IOUTA and/or IOUTB is connected to an appropri-
ately sized load resistor, RLOAD, referred to ACOM. This con-
figuration may be more suitable for a single-supply system
requiring a dc coupled, ground referred output voltage. Alterna-
tively, an amplifier could be configured as an I-V converter thus
converting IOUTA or IOUTB into a negative unipolar voltage.
This configuration provides the best dc linearity since IOUTA
or IOUTB is maintained at a virtual ground. Note, IOUTA
provides slightly better performance than IOUTB.
DIFFERENTIAL COUPLING USING A TRANSFORMER
An RF transformer can be used to perform a differential-to-
single-ended signal conversion as shown in Figure 28. A
differentially coupled transformer output provides the optimum
distortion performance for output signals whose spectral content
lies within the transformer’s passband. An RF transformer such
as the Mini-Circuits T1-1T provides excellent rejection of
common-mode distortion (i.e., even-order harmonics) and noise
over a wide frequency range. It also provides electrical isolation
and the ability to deliver twice the power to the load. Trans-
formers with different impedance ratios may also be used for
impedance matching purposes. Note that the transformer
provides ac coupling only.
