12-bit 4-channel 1MSPS R/2R DAC
The 4-channel 12-bit R/2R DAC designed for generating analog control signals.
Overview
The 4-channel 12-bit R/2R DAC designed for generating analog control signals. The DAC has the ability to work with an external and internal full-scale reference voltage generator and the ability to disable each channel. The DAC consists of three main blocks: the reference voltage source, the DAC core and the control unit.

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.
