Overview

The TI-12DAC is a 12-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with guaranteed 12-bit monotonicity performance within the automotive temperature range. The DAC operates with a single 1.8 V power supply and external reference voltages. There is an option of using internal or external current source. The lower 8 bits of digital-to-analog conversion are implemented as the R-2R Ladder, while the upper 4 bits are implemented as the Thermometer (Fully-Decoded) DAC. This combination allows to obtain 12-bit resolution, requiring only ensuring of accuracy of each part: 8-bit R-2R DAC and 4-bit potentiometer DAC.

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.
