Abstract :
At 60 MSample/s, DAC SFDR is 80 dB for 5.1 MHz input signals and is down only to 75 dB for 25.5 MHz input signals. Previous DACs specified for operation at this speed and resolution have exhibited similar SFDR only at lower clock and/or signal frequencies. The DAC is implemented in a 0.8 /spl mu/m CMOS process (minimum gate length is 0.65 /spl mu/m), consumes 750 mW at 100 MSample/s speed, and utilizes a special output stage circuit to obtain dynamic performance.
