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.
The MAX5195 is a state-of-the-art high-performance 14bit 260Msample/s DAC claimed to have the world's best dynamic performance in spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR), intermodulation distortion (IMD) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) Outstanding performance in these specifications makes the MAX5195 ideal for use in applications such as broadband multicarrier communications, direct IF synthesis, automated test equipment (ATE), and instrumentation

New from Maxim Integrated Products, the MAX1162 serial-interface 16bit A/D convertor connects directly to SPI, QSPI and Microwire devices without additional interface logic.
This industry-leading performance is sustained from baseband to intermediate frequencies (IF) of 100MHz and beyond.
At a 1MHz output frequency, the MAX5195 offers an SFDR of 88dBc (amplitude at -12dB and a sampling frequency of 156MHz).
At an IF of 130MHz, the SFDR is 68dBc (amplitude at -12dB and a sampling frequency of 260MHz).
The two-tone IMD performance is similarly impressive; the IMD is -87dBc at an output frequency of 32MHz.
The MAX5195 has an ultra-low noise performance of 160dB/Hz at an output frequency of 19MHz.
The combination of this ultralow noise floor and superior IMD performance enables the transmission of multicarrier GSM and UMTS spectra.
The MAX5195 comes in a space-saving 48-pin QFN package with exposed paddle specified for the industrial temperature range (-40 to +85C).
Prices start at $34.50 (1000-up, FOB USA).
An evaluation kit is also available.
