Overview

The 10-bit dual high-speed DAC is based on current steering architecture, which provides high-speed conversion rate and good dynamic performance. DAC consists of four principal blocks: adjustable bias, control logic, current source array and current output switches. Device has a feature of adjusting output current, output cascade transistors bias voltage, and entering sleep mode, turning device off. DAC requires 1 V digital supply, 1.8 V digital and analog supply, and digital and analog ground to work properly. Pins dac_adj[4:0] adjust DAC output current and pins vbias_cm0_adj[2:0] adjust output cascades transistors bias voltage.

Specifying a PLL Part 1: Calculating PLL Clock Spur Requirements from ADC or DAC SFDR

In high end RF systems, such as 5G radios, the requirements are so stringent that the source of this strongest unwanted tone can be the PLL. This article outlines how spurs in the input clock to the ADC or DAC may limit the SFDR. This in turn will set the requirements for the spurs for the input clock (from a PLL), in order to achieve a specific SFDR.
