16-bit, 2-channel, 20.48-GSPS 12-GHz RF digital-to-analog converter

The DAC39RF10 and

’RFS10 are

a family of dual and single channel

digital-to-analog converters (DAC) with 16-bit

resolution. The devices can be used as

non-interpolating or interpolating DACs for either

direct RF sampling or complex baseband signal

generation. The maximum input data rate is

20.48GSPS for a single channel or 10.24GSPS for

two channels. The devices can generate signals of

up to 10, 7.5, and 5GHz signal bandwidth (8, 12,

and 16-bit input resolution) at carrier

frequencies exceeding 8GHz enabling direct

sampling through C-band and into X-band.

The high sampling rate, output frequency range, 64-bit NCO frequency resolution and any frequency hopping with phase coherence also makes the device capable of arbitrary waveform generation (AWG) and direct digital synthesis (DDS).

A JESD204B and JESD204C compatible serial

interface has 16 receiver pairs capable of up to

12.8Gbps. The interface is JESD204B and JESD204C

subclass-1 compliant for deterministic latency and

multi-device synchronization through the use of

SYSREF.
