6-bit, 5 GSPS DAC - GlobalFoundries, 22FDX
The D6B5G is ultra-low power, high-speed digital to analog converter (DAC) intellectual property (IP) block.
Overview
The D6B5G is ultra-low power, high-speed digital to analog converter (DAC) intellectual property (IP) block. It has a 6-bit resolution, and a sampling speed of 5 gigasamples per second (GSPS).
The D6B5G is a unique solution that provides the dual benefit of reaching an extremely high sampling speed while maintaining an exceptionally low power consumption of only 16 mW, making it a perfect fit for designs with high efficiency, low power and high performance requirements.
The IP block has been designed and verified for the GF22FDX fabrication process with FDSOI technology to provide superior performance/power specifications.
The DAC IP is also available in a radiation-tolerant version, that can function under harsh environmental constraints.

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.
