Overview

12-bit, 640Msps Current Steering DAC is a high-performance current steering DAC supporting data rates up to 640Msps. Each DAC core comprises a current source matrix with quad switching architecture, controlled by an adaptive balanced driver and re-timing latches. It includes all essential calibration circuitry for superior static and dynamic linearity performance. Each channel features an integrated multiplexer for multiplexing 2 lanes of 12-bit data to achieve an effective data rate of 640Msps. A parallel digital interface is provided for external reading and writing of calibration bits.

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.
