TSMC CLN12FFC 12-bit 500MHz Current Steering DAC
IGADACV02A is a general-purpose 3-channel digital-to-analog converter with 12-bit resolution.
Overview
IGADACV02A is a general-purpose 3-channel digital-to-analog converter with 12-bit resolution. The data output rate is up to 500 MHz. The input digital code is unsigned binary.
IGADACV02A contains 3 current steering DAC circuits and relative digital decoders. The analog output currents of DAC per channel are maximum differential +/-4 mA. Power-down mode is available to disable the DAC and lower down the power consumption. IGADACV02A is designed for TSMC CLN12FFC 0.8 V/1.8 V. The supply voltage 0.8 V is used for digital circuits, and 1.8 V/0.9 V is used for analog circuits.
The power-down and stand-by modes are available to disable the DAC or lower down the power consumption.
