3 Description
The terminal-compatible DAC37J84/DAC38J84 family
is a low power, 16-bit, quad-channel, 1.6/2.5 GSPS
digital to analog converter (DAC) with JESD204B
interface.
Digital data is input to the device through 1, 2, 4 or 8
configurable serial JESD204B lanes running up to
12.5 Gbps with on-chip termination and
programmable equalization. The interface allows
JESD204B Subclass 1 SYSREF based deterministic
latency and full synchronization of multiple devices.
The device includes features that simplify the design
of complex transmit architectures. Fully bypassable
2x to 16x digital interpolation filters with over 90 dB of
stop-band attenuation simplify the data interface and
reconstruction filters. An on-chip 48-bit Numerically
Controlled Oscillator (NCO) and independent
complex mixers allow flexible and accurate carrier
placement.
A high-performance low jitter PLL simplifies clocking
of the device without significant impact on the
dynamic range. The digital Quadrature Modulator
Correction (QMC) and Group Delay Correction (QDC)
enable complete IQ compensation for gain, offset,
phase, and group delay between channels in direct
up-conversion applications. A programmable Power
Amplifier (PA) protection mechanism is available to
provide PA protection in cases when the abnormal
power behavior of the input data is detected.
