DAC5652A: Timing questions for multi-DAC Architecture

Part Number: DAC5652A

Hello,

I'm currently working on the data timing for the DAC5652A in Dual-Bus Mode. I'm trying to give data to four different DAC5652A as fast as possible, but they share the same data lines.
What is the fastest way to send different data to the DACs, and then output them at the same time?

Yours sincerely

Daniel

  • HI Daniel,

    If you want all the DACs to output at the same time. You have makes sure all the DACs share same sampling clock and DATA is sent to all the DACs at the same time( Data should be latched by all the DACs at he same time) You will have makes sure all the clocks paths and data paths for all four DACs length matched.

  • Hi Neeraj,

    my main problem is the fact, that the data lines between the DACs are all the same. It means, that e.g. DA0 to DA9 are physical the same net for every DAC. The only Lines that are unique for each DAC are the WRT and the CLK Lines. I need a way to multiplex the data and was hoping for some solution by clocking the WRT and CLK-Lines in a appropriate way, so I can address the right DAC at a specific point of time.
    For example:
    I want to put one Data sample into the first DAC, shortly later another one into the 2nd and so on and in the end output the analog values on all four DACs at the same point of time.

    Is this possible, and if yes - how is it made as fast as possible (for a fixed reference clock)

    regards,

    Daniel
  • Hi Daniel,

    No it is not possible. The fastest way would be to have all the DACs there different independent data and drive them individually.
