The D12B500M 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 500 megasamples per second (MSPS).
The D12B500M 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 36 mW, making it a perfect fit for designs with high efficiency, low power and high performance requirements.
The advanced IP block has been designed in a 55 nm CMOS process. The DAC IP is also available as a radiation-tolerant version, that can function under harsh environmental constraints.
