40nm LP 2.5V/1.1V 12bit 80Mhz Current Steering DAC [2ch]
The IGADACS02A is a general-purpose two-channel digital-to-analog converter with 12-bit resolution.
Overview
The IGADACS02A is a general-purpose two-channel digital-to-analog converter with
12-bit resolution. The sampling rate is up to 80M samples per second. The IGADACS02A
contains two current steering DAC circuits and two current-to-voltage buffers. Both current
output and voltage output modes are available. The input data format can be either
unsigned binary or 2’s complement.
This DAC need one external reference resistor for current reference. 2.5V devices are
used for analog and high-voltage logic circuits; 1.1V devices are used for core-voltage logic
circuits. A power down mode is available to disable the DAC and lower down the power
consumption.
The IGADACS02A is fabricated in TSMC 40nm 2.5V/1.1V logic low power CMOS
process with 1P6M & 1P7M layout.

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.
