Dual 8-Bit, 300Msps DAC with 4x/2x/1x
Interpolation Filters and PLL
General Description
The MAX5856A dual, 8-bit, 300Msps digital-to-analog
converter (DAC) provides superior dynamic performance
in wideband communication systems. The MAX5856A
integrates two 8-bit DAC cores, 4x/2x/1x programmable
digital interpolation filters, phase-lock loop (PLL) clock
multiplier, and a 1.24V reference. The MAX5856A sup-
ports single-ended and differential modes of operation.
The MAX5856A dynamic performance is maintained over
the entire power-supply operating range of 2.7V to 3.3V.
The analog outputs support a compliance voltage of
-1.0V to +1.25V.
The 4x/2x/1x programmable interpolation filters feature
excellent passband distortion and noise performance.
Interpolating filters minimize the design complexity of ana-
log reconstruction filters while lowering the data bus and
the clock speeds of the digital interface. The PLL multiplier
generates all internal synchronized high-speed clock sig-
nals for interpolating filter operation and DAC core conver-
sion. The internal PLL helps minimize system complexity
and lower cost. To reduce the I/O pin count, the DAC can
also operate in interleave data mode. This allows the
MAX5856A to be updated on a single 8-bit bus.
The MAX5856A features digital control of channel gain
matching to within ±0.4dB in sixteen 0.05dB steps.
Channel matching improves sideband suppression in
analog quadrature modulation applications. The on-chip
1.24V bandgap reference includes a control amplifier
that allows external full-scale adjustments of both chan-
nels through a single resistor. The internal reference can
be disabled and an external reference may be applied
for high-accuracy applications.
The MAX5856A features full-scale current outputs of
2mA to 20mA and operates from a 2.7V to 3.3V single
supply. The DAC supports three modes of power-control
operation: normal, low-power standby, and complete
power-down. In power-down mode, the operating cur-
rent is reduced to 1µA.
The MAX5856A is packaged in a 48-pin TQFP with
exposed paddle (EP) for enhanced thermal dissipation
and is specified for the extended (-40°C to +85°C) opera-
ting temperature range.
