12 Bit 250 MSPS DAC on 16nm

Overview

The ODT-DAC-12B250M-16FFCT is a high-performance current steering 12-bit DAC that operates at an update rate of up to 250 MSPS. 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 151dBm/Hz noise spectral density with excellent SFDR.
The DAC is powered by a 1.8V and 1.2V analog supply, a 1.8V output supply, and a 0.8V digital supply.
