1. General description
The DAC1617D1G0 is a high-speed 16-bit dual channel Digital-to-Analog Converter
(DAC) with selectable
2,
4 and
8 interpolation filters. The device is optimized for
multi-carrier and broadband wireless transmitters at sample rates of up to 1 Gsps.
Supplied from a 3.3 V and a 1.8 V source, the DAC1617D1G0 integrates a differential
scalable output current up to 34 mA.
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) provides full control of the DAC1617D1G0.
The DAC1617D1G0 integrates a Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) Double Data
Rate (DDR) receiver interface, with an on-chip 100
termination. The LVDS DDR
interface accepts a multiplex input data stream such as interleaved or folded. An internal
LVDS input auto-calibration ensures the robustness and stability of the interface.
Digital on-chip modulation converts the complex I and Q inputs from baseband to IF. A
40-bit Numerically Controlled Oscillator (NCO) sets the mixer frequency. High resolution
internal gain, phase and offset control provide outstanding image and Local Oscillator
(LO) signal rejection at the system analog modulator output.
An inverse (sin x) / x function ensures a controlled flatness 0.5 dB for high bandwidths at
the DAC output.
Multiple device synchronization allows synchronization of the outputs of multiple DAC
devices. MDS guarantees a maximum skew of one output clock period between several
devices.
The DAC1617D1G0 includes a very low noise capacitor-free integrated Phase-Locked
Loop (PLL) multiplier which generates a DAC clock rate
from the LVDS clock rate.
The DAC1617D1G0 is available in an HVQFN72 package (10 mm
10 mm).
