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

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.
