Speedy DACs save space in basestations
DAC family offers flexible configuration options to ease design and speed time to market for basestations, wideband IF transmitters, radar and test and measurement equipment.
Texas Instruments has developed a high-performance 16bit dual-channel 1Gsample/s DAC family The new single- and dual-channel DAC family features a low-voltage differential signalling (LVDS) data input port at 1Gbit/s, providing up to 400MHz signal bandwidth

Programmable dynamic range compression automatically adjusts the audio to the desired loudness range while protecting the speaker and preventing clipping and distortion.
Low-frequency RFID devices boost range
Half-duplex radiocommunication boosts read range by 50% compared with full-duplex low-frequency devices and offers a stronger RF signal.
In addition, the DAC family offers flexible configuration options as well as industry-leading tools and support to ease design and speed time to market for basestations, wideband IF transmitters, radar and test and measurement equipment.
Offered in a small 9 x 9mm QFN package, the DAC568x family builds on TI's commitment to offer high-performance, integrated solutions by providing a 70% space savings over traditional data convertors.
The devices provide several configuration options to support different transmit architectures, such as direct up-conversion, real or complex IF, and different wireless air interfaces such as WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, WiMAX and LTE.
For an output frequency of 160MHz, the devices achieve 73dB ACPR for a single-carrier WCDMA application or 67dBc for a four-carrier application.
TI also offers a complete suite of easy-to-use evaluation modules (EVMs) to allow designers to make rapid systems-level evaluation with the DAC5682ZEVM for baseband outputs and the TSW3082 for RF output.
In addition, across its complete DAC portfolio, TI offers the TSW3100 digital pattern generator.
The tool provides inputs to either evaluation platform via a 1Gsample/s LVDS bus with up to 256M vector pattern depths.
The DAC5682Z is available now in a 64-pin quad flat no-lead (QFN) package and is priced at US $31.95 each in 1000-piece quantities (suggested resale pricing).
