Top performance claims for 16bit DAC
The MAX5891 is a state-of-the-art high-performance 16bit 600Msample/s digital-to-analogue convertor
New from Maxim Integrated Products is the MAX5891, a state-of-the-art high-performance 16bit 600Msample/s digital-to-analogue convertor (DAC) At a 30MHz output frequency, the device offers industry-leading 80dBc performance in spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) and -94dBc intermodulation distortion (IMD)

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.
At a 36MHz output frequency, it offers -163dBFS/Hz noise-spectral density.
An LVDS input interface lets the MAX5891 receive data at 600MHz and produce wide bandwidth signals while maintaining low noise and distortion.
The MAX5891 achieves this high level of performance while consuming only 298mW at a 600Msample/s update rate.
This outstanding performance makes the MAX5891 ideal for applications such as broadband multicarrier communications, direct IF synthesis, automated test equipment (ATE), and instrumentation.
The MAX5891 LVDS DAC is specified for the extended-industrial temperature range (-40 to +85C) and is available in a space-saving 68-pin QFN-EP package.
The part is in full production and an evaluation kit is available to speed designs.
Price starts at $34.70 (1000-up, FOB USA).
Pin-compatible 12bit (MAX5889) and 14bit (MAX5890) versions are offered for additional design flexibility.
