Overview
Our breakthrough flagship FDDAC Tx Series comprises of digital-to-analog converters with ultra-wide coherent modulation bandwidth (currently silicon verified with up to 8GHz, 56Gbps), extreme energy efficiency, and integrated digital pre-processing for spectral shaping. It is ideally suited for wide channel-bandwidth applications such as next generation Wi-Fi, mmWave5G, 6G, radar or satellite communication. It is suitable in wireless infrastructure front- and backhaul applications from base-stations to home-routers, in any consumer devices from cell-phones to AR/VR headsets, as well as in measurement devices such as arbitrary waveform generators.

DAC 2022 - Is it too risky not to adopt RISC-V?

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.
