Overview

IGADACV01A is a high speed current steering type digital-to-analog converter with 12-bit resolution. IGADACV01A contains a serializer and a fully-differential current output DAC circuits. The serializer converts 12-bit 32-ch data words at 491.52 MHz sampling rate into one 12-bit data word at 15.72864 GHz rate. The input digital code is unsigned binary. The best timing can be achieved when divide-by-32 input clock synchronizes the incoming 16 12-bit data. The power-down and stand-by modes are available to disable the DAC or lower down the power consumption.
IGADACV01A is designed for TSMC 12 nm 0.8 V/1.8 V CMOS LOGIC FinFET Compact Process
