The MAX5884 is an advanced, 14-bit, 200Msps digital-to-analog converter (DAC) designed to meet the demanding performance requirements of signal synthesis applications found in wireless base stations and other communications applications.
The MAX5884 is a 14‑bit, 200 Msps digital‑to‑analog converter designed for high‑performance signal synthesis in wireless base stations and other communications applications. It operates from a single 3.3 V supply, offers a full‑scale output current of 2 mA to 20 mA, and includes an integrated 1.2 V bandgap reference.
Typical applications include base‑station transmitters, digital signal synthesis, automated test equipment, and instrumentation. The device is supplied in a 48‑pin QFN‑EP package and supports CMOS‑compatible digital and clock inputs, with optional external reference for enhanced gain accuracy.
