TEST METHODOLOGY
Typical AC specifications were characterized with the DAC5681ZEVM using the test configuration shown in
Figure 25. A sinusoidal master clock frequency is generated by an HP8665B signal generator and into a splitter.
One output drives an Agilent 8133A pulse generator, and the other drives the CDCM7005 clock driver. The
8133A converts the sinusoidal frequency into a square wave output clock and drives an Agilent ParBERT
81250A pattern-generator clock. On the EVM, the DAC5681Z CLKIN/C input clock is driven by an CDCM7005
clock distribution chip that is configured to simply buffer the external 8665B clock or divide it down for PLL test
configurations.
The DAC5681Z output is characterized with a Rohde and Schwarz FSU spectrum analyzer. For WCDMA signal
characterization, it is important to use a spectrum analyzer with high IP3 and noise subtraction capability so that
the spectrum analyzer does not limit the ACPR measurement.
