AD9765
Note that the clock input could also be driven via a sine wave,
which is centered around the digital threshold (i.e., DVDD/2)
and meets the min/max logic threshold. This will typically result
in a slight degradation in the phase noise, which becomes more
noticeable at higher sampling rates and output frequencies.
Also, at higher sampling rates, the 20% tolerance of the digital
logic threshold should be considered since it will affect the effec-
tive clock duty cycle and, subsequently, cut into the required
data setup and hold times.

INPUT CLOCK AND DATA TIMING RELATIONSHIP
SNR in a DAC is dependent on the relationship between the
position of the clock edges and the point in time at which the
input data changes. The AD9765 is rising edge triggered, and so
exhibits SNR sensitivity when the data transition is close to this
edge. In general, the goal when applying the AD9765 is to make
the data transition close to the falling clock edge. This becomes
more important as the sample rate increases. Figure 29 shows
the relationship of SNR to clock placement with different sample
rates. Note that at the lower sample rates, much more tolerance
is allowed in clock placement, while much more care must be
taken at higher rates.

SLEEP MODE OPERATION
The AD9765 has a power-down function that turns off the output
current and reduces the supply current to less than 8.5 mA
over the specified supply range of 3.0 V to 5.5 V and tempera-
ture range. This mode can be activated by applying a Logic
Level “1” to the SLEEP pin. The SLEEP pin logic threshold is
equal to 0.5 × AVDD. This digital input also contains an active
pull-down circuit that ensures the AD9765 remains enabled if
this input is left disconnected. The AD9765 takes less than
50 ns to power down and approximately 5 µs to power back up.
POWER DISSIPATION
The power dissipation, PD, of the AD9765 is dependent on
several factors that include: (1) The power supply voltages
(AVDD and DVDD), (2) the full-scale current output IOUTFS,
(3) the update rate fCLOCK, (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 30 and is insensitive to fCLOCK.

Conversely, IDVDD is dependent on both the digital input wave-
form, fCLOCK, and digital supply DVDD. Figures 31 and 32
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.
