APPLYING THE AD9744

Output Configurations

The following sections illustrate some typical output configurations

for the AD9744. Unless otherwise noted, it is assumed that IOUTFS

is set to a nominal 20 mA. For applications requiring 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 optimum high

frequency performance and is recommended for any application

that allows ac coupling. The differential op amp configuration is

suitable for applications requiring dc coupling, a bipolar output,

signal gain, and/or level shifting within the bandwidth of the

chosen op amp.

A single-ended output is suitable for applications requiring a

unipolar voltage output. A positive unipolar output voltage

results if IOUTA and/or IOUTB are connected to an appro-

priately sized load resistor, RLOAD, referred to ACOM. This

configuration may be more suitable for a single-supply system

requiring a dc-coupled, ground referred output voltage. Alter-

natively, 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.

DIFFERENTIAL COUPLING USING A

TRANSFORMER

An RF transformer can be used to perform a differential-to-single-

ended signal conversion, as shown in Figure 34. A differentially

coupled transformer output provides the optimum distortion

performance for output signals whose spectral content lies

within the transformer’s pass band. An RF transformer, such as

the Mini-Circuits T1–1T, provides excellent rejection of

common-mode distortion (that is, 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.

Transformers with different impedance ratios may also be used

for impedance matching purposes. Note that the transformer

provides ac coupling only.

Figure 34. Differential Output Using a Transformer

The center tap on the primary side of the transformer must be

connected to ACOM to provide the necessary dc current path

for both IOUTA and IOUTB. The complementary voltages

appearing at IOUTA and IOUTB (that is, VOUTA and VOUTB)

swing symmetrically around ACOM and should be maintained

with the specified output compliance range of the AD9744. A

differential resistor, RDIFF, may be inserted in applications where

the output of the transformer is connected to the load, RLOAD,

via a passive reconstruction filter or cable. RDIFF is determined

by the transformer’s impedance ratio and provides the proper

source termination that results in a low VSWR. Note that approx-

imately half the signal power will be dissipated across RDIFF.

DIFFERENTIAL COUPLING USING AN OP AMP

An op amp can also be used to perform a differential-to-single-

ended conversion, as shown in Figure 35. The AD9744 is

configured with two equal load resistors, RLOAD, of 25 Ω. The

differential voltage developed across IOUTA and IOUTB is

converted to a single-ended signal via the differential op amp

configuration. An optional capacitor can be installed across

IOUTA and IOUTB, forming a real pole in a low-pass filter. The

addition of this capacitor also enhances the op amp’s distortion

performance by preventing the DAC’s high slewing output from

overloading the op amp’s input.

Figure 35. DC Differential Coupling Using an Op Amp

The common-mode rejection of this configuration is typically

determined by the resistor matching. In this circuit, the differential

op amp circuit using the AD8047 is configured to provide some

additional signal gain. The op amp must operate off a dual supply

since its output is approximately ±1 V. A high speed amplifier

capable of preserving the differential performance of the AD9744

while meeting other system level objectives (such as cost or

power) should be selected. The op amp’s differential gain, gain

setting resistor values, and full-scale output swing capabilities

should all be considered when optimizing this circuit.
