The MAX5875/MAX5878/MAX5895/MAX5898 families of 200/250/500/500Msps dual DACs deliver superior dynamic performance (noise spectral density, SFDR, IMD, ACLR) at very low power. Offered in 16-/14-/12-bit, pin-compatible versions with CMOS or LVDS inputs, these DACs provide options to optimize performance and cost. To simplify the FPGA interface and filter design, reduce system cost, and improve reliability, the MAX5898/MAX5895/MAX5894/MAX5893 integrate interpolation filters, which reduce the DAC input word rate and relax image-filter requirements. To further simplify design, this family integrates a digital quadrature modulator that enables both zero-IF and direct-IF transmit architectures.
