DAC37J84: Output linearity problem at low data bit

Part Number: DAC37J84

Hello support team,

My customer found a problem on the DAC37J84 output linearity variation. A problem is;

1. Channel-to channel variation of the output level at low data bits (DATA=0x0001).

2. Comparing IOUTAP/N and IOUTCP/N, IOUTAP/N is 5dB higher than IOUTCP/N at DATA=0x0001. IOUTCP/N seems to be close to ideal.

3. No obvious difference at higher data bits (DATA=0x7FFF, 0x1000, 0x0100) between IOUTAP/N and IOUTCP/N. The difference can be seen only at DATA=0x0001.

Measurement conditions are;

 - Config47(sifdac_ena=1)、

 - Config48(sifdac)=0x7FFF, 0x1000, 0x0100, 0x0001

 -  DACCLK=614.4MHz

  - Interpolation = x4

 - NCO=138.3MHz

  -   Measured the differential outputs as single-ended signal thru balun.

Could you please give us your feedback whether it is device cause or not? 

I would appreciate your prompt response.

Best regards,

Kaizawa
