Overview

IGADACV02A is a general-purpose 3-channel digital-to-analog converter with 12-bit resolution. The data output rate is up to 500 MHz. The input digital code is unsigned binary.
IGADACV02A contains 3 current steering DAC circuits and relative digital decoders. The analog output currents of DAC per channel are maximum differential +/-4 mA. Power-down mode is available to disable the DAC and lower down the power consumption. IGADACV02A is designed for TSMC CLN12FFC 0.8 V/1.8 V. The supply voltage 0.8 V is used for digital circuits, and 1.8 V/0.9 V is used for analog circuits.
The power-down and stand-by modes are available to disable the DAC or lower down the power consumption.

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.
