The DAC904 is a high-speed, digital-to-analog converter (DAC) offering a 14-bit resolution option within the SpeedPlus family of high-performance converters. Featuring pin compatibility among family members, the DAC908, DAC900, and DAC902 provide a component selection option to an 8-, 10-, and 12-bit resolution, respectively. All models within this family of D/A converters support update rates in excess of 165MSPS with excellent dynamic performance, and are especially suited to fulfill the demands of a variety of applications. The advanced segmentation architecture of the DAC904 is optimized to provide a high Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) for single-tone, as well as for multi-tone signals-- essential when used for the transmit signal path of communication systems. The DAC904 has a high impedance (200k) current output with a nominal range of 20mA and an output compliance of up to 1.25V. The differential outputs allow for both a differential, or single-ended analog signal interface. The close matching of the current outputs ensures superior dynamic performance in the differential configuration, which can be implemented with a transformer.
