Quad 16-bit 1.5 Gsps DAC with 750 Msps i/p data rate with JESD204B interface

Integrated Device Technology has announced low-power quad 16-bit 1.5 Gsps DAC with 750 Msps input data rate featuring the JESD204B high-speed serial interface making it suitable for multi-carrier broadband wireless applications such as base station transceiver (BTS) platforms. The DAC165xQ supports all popular wireless standards including MC-GSM with a wide spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR = 85 dBc typ) and low noise spectral density (NSD = -162 dBm/Hz typ) for improved signal quality. “Our new quad 16-bit DAC is a demand-driven extension of our acclaimed dual 16-bit DAC announced last year,” said Christian Kermarrec, vice president and general manager of Wireless Systems at IDT. “Building upon our leading portfolio of wireless communication solutions, the DAC165xQ complements our RF, data compression, RapidIO, and timing solutions to provide a comprehensive system-solution. IDT is the only company to offer this level of performance, integration, and features – empowering BTS manufacturers to make large strides in system innovation.” IDT’s JESD204B-enabled DAC integrates two complex numerically controlled oscillators (NCOs) for intermediate frequency (IF) mixing, a low noise bypass-able integrated phase-locked loop (PLL), and various RF Mute modes to maximize flexibility and optimize system cost. In addition, it features harmonic clocking and deterministic latency to...
