Overview

The ODT-DAC-12B3P6G-16 is a high performance current steering 12-bit DAC that operates at an update rate of up to 3.6GSPS. The DAC uses a proprietary architecture that reduces harmonic and intermodulation distortions at high output frequency and amplitudes.

The high-performance DAC supports a peak CW output power of 0dBm and achieves up to -153dBm/Hz noise spectral density with excellent SFDR.

The DAC is powered by a 1.8V and 1.2V analog supply, a 2.1V output supply and a 0.8V digital supply.

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.
