8-Bit, High-Speed DAC
_______________General Description
The MAX5018 is a monolithic, 8-bit digital-to-analog
converter (DAC) capable of accepting video data at
165Msps or 275Msps. Complete with video controls
(sync, blank, reference white (force high), and bright),
the MAX5018 directly drives doubly terminated 50Ω or
75Ω loads to standard composite video levels.
Standard setup level is 7.5IRE. The MAX5018 is pin
compatible with the HDAC10180 and the TDC1018,
with improved performance. The MAX5018 contains
data and control input registers, video control logic, ref-
erence buffer, and current switches.
Two performance grades of the MAX5018 are available.
Both are packaged in a 24-pin PDIP in the -20°C to
+85°C industrial temperature range.

8-Bit, High-Speed DAC
_______________Detailed Description
The MAX5018 is an ultra-high-speed video digital-to-
analog converter (DAC) capable of up to 275Msps con-
version rates. This high speed makes the device
suitable for driving 1500 x 1800 pixel displays at 70Hz
to 90Hz update rates.
The MAX5018 is separated into different conversion-
rate categories, as shown in Table 1.
The MAX5018 has ECL logic-level-compatible video
controls and data inputs. The complementary analog
output currents produced by the devices are propor-
tional to the product of the digital control and data
inputs in conjunction with the analog reference current.
The MAX5018 is segmented so that the input data’s
four MSBs are separated into a parallel thermometer
code. From here, fifteen identical current sinks are driv-
en to fabricate sixteen coarse output levels. The
remaining four LSBs drive four binary-weighted current
switches.
MSB currents are then summed with the LSBs that con-
tribute one-sixteenth of full-scale to provide the 256 dis-
tinct analog output levels.
The video-control inputs drive weighted current sinks,
which are added to the output current to produce com-
posite video-output levels. These controls (sync, blank,
reference white (force high), and bright) are required in
video applications.
A feature that similar video DACs do not have is feed-
through control. The feedthrough pin (FT) allows regis-
tered or unregistered operation of the video control and
data inputs. In registered mode, the composite func-
tions are latched to the pixel data to prevent screen-
edge distortions (generally found on unregistered video
DACs).
__________Applications Information
General
Figure 1 shows a typical application using the MAX5018
in a color-raster circuit. The MAX5018 requires few exter-
nal components and is extremely easy to use. The
MAX5018’s very high operating speeds require good cir-
cuit layout, supply decoupling, and proper transmission-
line design. For best performance, note the following
considerations.
MAX5018
Input Considerations
Video-input data and controls can be directly con-
nected to the MAX5018. Note that all ECL inputs are
terminated as closely to the device as possible to
reduce ringing, crosstalk, and reflections. Maxim rec-
ommends that stripline or microstrip techniques be
used for all ECL interfaces. A convenient and common-
ly used microstrip impedance is about 130Ω, which is
easily terminated using a 330Ω resistor to V
EE
and a
220Ω resistor to ground. This arrangement gives a
Thevenin-equivalent termination of 130Ω to -2V without
the need for a -2V supply. Standard single in-line pack-
age (SIP) 220/330 resistor networks are available for
this purpose.
Figure 2 shows equivalent input circuits.
Output Considerations
The analog outputs are designed to directly drive a
dual 50Ω or 75Ω load-transmission system as shown in
Figure 1. The MAX5018 output source impedances are
high-impedance current sinks. The load impedance
(R
L
) must be 25Ω or 37.5Ω to attain standard RS-343-A
video levels. Any deviation from this impedance affects
the resulting video output levels proportionally. As with
the data interface, it is important that all analog trans-
mission lines have matched impedance throughout,
including connectors and transitions between printed
wiring and coaxial cable. The combination of matched
source-termination resistor R
S
and load terminator R
L
minimizes reflections of both forward and reverse trav-
eling waves in the analog transmission system.

Power Considerations
The MAX5018 has two analog power-supply pins and
operates from a standard -5.2V single supply. Proper
supply bypassing augments the MAX5018’s inherent
supply-noise-rejection characteristics. As shown in
Figure 1, each supply pin should be bypassed as
close to the device as possible with 0.01µF and 10µF
capacitors.
