12-bit, 5 GSPS DAC - GlobalFoundries 22nm
The D12B6G is an ultra low-power, high-speed digital to analog converter (DAC) intellectual property (IP) block.
Overview
The D12B6G is an ultra low-power, high-speed digital to analog converter (DAC) intellectual property (IP) block. It is a current-steering DAC that has a 12-bit resolution, and a sampling speed of 6 gigasamples per second (GSPS).
The D12B6G is a unique solution that provides the dual benefit of reaching an extremely high sampling speed while maintaining an exceptionally low power consumption of approximately 121 mW, making it a perfect fit for designs with high efficiency, low power and high performance requirements.
The cost-effective IP block is has been designed and verified for 22FDX FDSOI processes and is undergoing porting for upcoming tapeout.

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.
