This chapter describes the circuit functions of the DAC5686 EVM.
The initial configuration of this EVM provides transformer-coupled differential clocks from single-ended
input sources. A 300-mV
P-P
, 0-V offset, 50% duty cycle external square wave is applied to SMA connector
J3 to be used as the data clock input. The signal is converted to a differential clock by transformer T3 and
provides the CLK1 and CLK1C inputs to the DAC5686 device. This input represents a 50-
Ω
load to the
source. In order to preserve the specified performance of the DAC5686 converter, the clock source should
feature very low jitter. Using a clock with a 50% duty cycle gives optimum dynamic performance.
A 300 mV
PP
, 0-V offset, 50% duty cycle external square wave is applied to SMA connector J4 to be used
as the DAC sample clock. The signal is converted to a differential clock by transformer T4 and provides
the CLK2 and CLK2C inputs to the DAC5686 device. This input represents a 50-
Ω
load to the source. In
order to preserve the specified performance of the DAC5686 converter, the clock source should feature
low jitter. Using a clock with a 50% duty cycle gives optimum dynamic performance.
The DAC5686 EVM can accept 1.8-V or 3.3-V CMOS logic level data inputs through the 34-pin headers
J13 and J14 per
Table 2 and Table 3 . The board provides 50-
Ω
termination option to ground and series
dampening resistors to minimize digital ringing and switching noise.
