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.
Unlike dual-conversion canned tuner solutions, the MAX3541 employs a single-conversion architecture.
It requires only one external SAW filter, a crystal, and a few discrete components to complete the solution, thus providing a cost-competitive alternative to canned tuners.
The MAX3541 has a standard, 36MHz IF output for DVB-T, Pal and Secam applications that require both analogue and digital reception.
Consequently, it is ideal for stationary and automotive TVs, as well as set-top boxes.
The MAX3541 is fully specified over the -40 to +85C extended industrial temperature range and is available in a 7 x 7mm, 48-pin flip-chip (fcLGA) package.
Prices start at US $5.00 (1000-up).
An evaluation kit and reference designs are available to speed designs.
