Overview

028TSMC_DAC_01 is a 12-bit digital to analog converter (DAC) with sample rates up to 1 MSPS. The block contains four main blocks: reference voltage source, bias voltage source, DAC core and control digital module. DAC core consist of the R/2R matrix and output operational class AB amplifier. The DAC operates directly from VDDIO/VDD33 supplies which are filtered analog supply pins of the chip. Analog voltage references can be generated from internal buffer or supplied externally.

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.
