The MAX5888 is an advanced, 16-bit, 500Msps digital-to-analog converter (DAC) designed to meet the demanding performance requirements of signal synthe- sis applications found in wireless base stations and other communications applications.
The MAX5888 is a high‑performance, 16‑bit current‑steering digital‑to‑analog converter designed for wireless base‑station and other communication signal‑synthesis applications. It operates from a single 3.3 V supply and provides up to 500 Msps update rate with low power dissipation.
Key features include a full‑scale output current range of 2 mA to 20 mA, differential LVDS‑compatible digital and clock inputs, an on‑chip 1.2 V bandgap reference (with an external reference option), and a 68‑lead QFN‑EP package suitable for -40 °C to +85 °C operation.
