DDS39RFS10: B channel in single channel devices

Part Number: DDS39RFS10
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DAC39RFS12, DAC39RFS10, DAC39RFS10EF, , DDS39RFS12

Tool/software:

Hi,

I'm focusing on DDS39RFS10 for now, but this question applies to other similar single channel DAC devices, e.g: DDS39RFS12, DAC39RFS12, DAC39RFS10, DAC39RFS10EF, etc.

  1. For single channel devices I assume there is no need for separate LDO:s etc for the B channels supplies, but should the B channel supply pins be left floating or connected to the A channel supplies? In the DDS39RFS10 datasheet the following A/B supply pairs are listed:
    1. VDDA18A / VDDA18B
    2. VDDEA / VDDEB
    3. VDDLA / VDDLB
    4. VEEAM18 / VEEBM18
  2. Should the DACOUTB output pins be left floating or tied to GND?
  3. Any other caveats when implementing a board with a single channel device?

Thanks!

  •  Hi Christer,

    Sorry for the confusion.

    The unused DACOUTB output can be left floating.

    The DACB supplies (VDDAB, VDDEB, VDDLB, VEEBM18) should be connected but can be shared with their A side counterparts. No need for separate regulators/filtering.

    Regards,
