Performance boost for speedy dual DAC
Fujitsu has extended the conversion rate of its MB86064 dual 14bit digital-analogue convertor from 800Msample/s to 1Gsample/s, reinforcing its claim as the world's fastest CMOS DAC.
Fujitsu has extended the conversion rate of its MB86064 dual 14bit digital-analogue convertor from 800Msample/s to 1Gsample/s, reinforcing its claim as the world's fastest CMOS DAC "The increase to 1Gsample/s is key to addressing a variety of new market segments that have highlighted a 'need for speed' following the 800Msample/s launch last year", said Paul Maddox, Technical Marketing Manager at Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe Mixed Signal Division, adding: "This product is in production and available today"

Leo aims at European navigation applications
Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe is releasing its Leo FR-V (Fujitsu RISC-VLIW) chip, based on the FR-V architecture announced last year.
The majority of customer prototyping conducted during the past year targeted operation within the preliminary 800Msample/s specification.
The now higher minimum guaranteed conversion rate provides scope for the rapid evolution of those, as well as new designs to address changes in market requirements.
As a consequence faster time to market of these systems is key to reduce development cost and risk.
Instrumental to supporting the increased data rate is Fujitsu's market leading introduction of double-datarate (DDR) LVDS interfaces on high-performance DACs such as the MB86064.
Combined with its proprietary loop-clock facility this enables cost effective, realisable solutions when combined with either FPGA or ASIC data generators.
Completion of characterisation prior to production approval has also led to an improvement in quoted ACLR performance.
The figure when generating four UMTS carriers at 276MHz has increased to 74dBc, using a DAC conversion rate of 737Msample/s.
