MAX5874 is a high-performance, low-power 14-bit, 200Msps, dual-channel digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that meets the demanding performance requirements of signal synthesis applications found in wireless base stations and other communications applications.
The MAX5874 is a high‑performance 14‑bit, dual‑channel digital‑to‑analog converter designed for signal synthesis in wireless base stations and other communications applications. It operates from 3.3 V and 1.8 V supplies and delivers up to 200 Msps update rates while consuming only 260 mW.
The device uses a current‑steering architecture with a 2 mA to 20 mA full‑scale output current range and supports a differential output swing of 0.1 V‑1 V P‑P. It includes an integrated 1.2 V bandgap reference, flexible input data bus, and is offered in a 68‑lead QFN‑EP package for temperatures from –40 °C to +85 °C.
