Speedy DAC claims dynamic superiority for comms
The MAX5195 is a 14bit 260Msample/s DAC claimed to provide the world's best dynamic performance in spurious-free dynamic range, intermodulation distortion and signal to noise ratio.
High switching frequency (1.2 or 640MHz selectable) allows easy filtering and faster loop performance.
An external compensation pin provides the user with flexibility in determining loop dynamics, allowing the use of small, low equivalent-series-resistance (ESR) ceramic output capacitors.
Soft-start is programmed with an external capacitor, which sets the input-current ramp rate.
In shutdown mode, current consumption is reduced to 0.1mA.
The MAX8715 is available in a space-saving 8-pin microMAX package and operates over the extended temperature range (-40 to +85C).
Prices start at $3.11 (1000-up, FOB USA).
A pre-assembled evaluation kit is available with recommended external components to speed designs.
