The MAX5884 is an advanced, 14-bit, 200Msps digital-to-analog converter (DAC) designed to meet the demanding performance requirements of signal synthesis applications found in wireless base stations and other communications applications. Operating from a single 3.3V supply, this DAC offers exceptional dynamic performance such as 77dBc spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) at fOUT= 10MHz. The DAC supports update rates of 200Msps at a power dissipation of less than 200mW.The MAX5884 utilizes a current-steering architecture, which supports a full-scale output current range of 2mA to 20mA, and allows a differential output voltage swing between 0.1VP-Pand 1VP-P.The MAX5884 features an integrated 1.2V bandgap reference and control amplifier to ensure high accuracy and low noise performance. Additionally, a separate reference input pin enables the user to apply an exter-nal reference source for optimum flexibility and to improve gain accuracy.The digital and clock inputs of the MAX5884 are designed for CMOS-compatible voltage levels. The MAX5884 is available in a 48-pin QFN package with an exposed paddle (EP) and is specified for the extended industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).See a parametric table of the complete family of pin-compatible, 12-/14-/16-bit high-speed DACs.ApplicationsAutomated Test Equipment (ATE)Base Stations: Single-/Multicarrier UMTS, CDMA, GSMCommunications: LMDS, MMDS, Point-to-PointDigital Signal SynthesisInstrumentationMicrowave
