Linear Technology Corporation (Milpitas, CA) announces the LTC2000, a 16-bit 2.5Gsps digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with exceptional spectral purity of 74dBc SFDR at 200MHz output, and better than 68dBc SFDR for output frequencies from DC to 1GHz, a 12dB improvement over alternative 14-bit DACs. The LTC2000 features low phase noise and a wide 2.1GHz -3dB output bandwidth, enabling broadband or high frequency RF synthesis in applications such as high-end instrumentation, broadband communications, test equipment, cable TV DOCSIS CMTS, and radar. Other features include:
- ±1V compliant outputs featuring a 40mA full scale current which can be adjusted as low as10mA or as high as 60mA.
- Transfer rates of up to 1.25Gsps using a 625MHz double data rate (DDR) data clock.
- 16-bit, 14-bit, and 11-bit versions in a RoHS compliant 9mm x 15mm BGA package.
