The MAX5852 can operate in interleaved data mode to reduce the I/O pin count. This allows the converter to be updated on a single, 8-bit bus. The MAX5852 features digital control of channel gain matching to within 0.4dB in sixteen 0.05dB steps. Channel matching improves sideband suppression in analog quadrature modulation applications. The onchip 1.24V bandgap reference includes a control amplifier that allows external full-scale adjustments of both channels through a single resistor. The internal reference can be disabled and an external reference may be applied for high-accuracy applications.
