The MAX5878EGK+D is a 16bit, 250Msps, high dynamic performance, dual DAC with LVDS inputs in 68 pin QFN package. This DAC meets the demanding performance requirements of signal synthesis applications found in wireless base stations and other communications applications. This dual DAC offers exceptional dynamic performance such as 76dBc SFDR at fOUT = 16MHz and supports update rates of 250Msps with a power dissipation of only 296mW. The MAX5878 utilizes a current-steering architecture that supports a 2mA to 20mA full-scale output current range and allows a 0.1VP-P to 1VP-P differential output voltage swing. An integrated +1.2V bandgap reference, control amplifier to ensure high-accuracy and low noise performance. A separate reference input allows for the use of an external reference source for optimum flexibility and improved gain accuracy. The clock inputs accept both LVDS and LVPECL compatible voltage levels. An interleaved data input allows a single LVDS bus to support both DACs.
Supply voltage range is 3.135V to 3.465V, 1.71V to 1.89V
Operating temperature range from -40°C to 85°C
Noise spectral density is -164dBFS/Hz at fOUT = 16MHz
IMD = -90dBc at fOUT = 10MHz, IMD = -72dBc at fOUT = 80MHz
