SPT5140

REFERENCE CONSIDERATIONS

The SPT5140 has two reference inputs (Ref In and ISet)

and one reference output (Ref Out). The input pins are

connected to the inverting and noninverting inputs of an

internal amplifier that serves as a reference buffer.

The output of the buffer amplifier is the reference for the

current sinks. The amplifier feedback loop is connected

around one of the current sinks to achieve better accu-

racy. (See figure 9.)

Since the analog output currents are proportional to the

digital input data and the reference current (ISet), the full-

scale output may be adjusted by varying the reference

current. ISet is controlled through the (ISet) input on the

SPT5140. A method and equations to set ISet are shown

in figure 2. The SPT5140 can use an external negative

voltage reference. The external reference must be stable

to achieve a satisfactory output and the Ref In should be

driven through a resistor to minimize offsets caused by

bias current. The value for ISet can be varied with the 500

to 1k

Ω trimmer to change the full-scale output. A double

50 ohm load (25 ohm) can be driven if ISet is increased

by 50% above for doubly-terminated 75 ohm video

applications.

DATA INPUTS AND VIDEO CONTROLS

The SPT5140 has standard single-ended data inputs.

The inputs are registered to produce the lowest differen-

tial data propagation delay (skew) to minimize glitching.

There are also four video control inputs to generate com-

posite video outputs. These are Sync, Blank, Bright and

Reference White or Force High. Also provided is the

Feedthrough control mentioned earlier. The controls and

data inputs are all 10 KH and 100K ECL compatible. In

addition, all have internal pulldown resistors to leave

them at a logic low, so the pins are inactive when not

used. This is useful if the devices are applied as standard

DACs without the need for video controls or if less than

eight bits are used.

The SPT5140 is usually configured in the synchronous

mode. In this mode, the controls and data are synchro-

nized to prevent pixel dropout. This reduces screen-edge

distortions and provides the lowest output noise while

maintaining the highest conversion rate. By leaving the

Feedthrough (FT) control open (low), each rising edge of

the convert (CONV) clock latches decoded data and con-

trol values into a D-type internal register. The registered

data is then converted into the appropriate analog output
