General description
The DAC1658Q and the DAC1653Q are high-speed high-performance 16-bit quad channel digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with high and low common-mode output. The devices provide a sample rate up to 1.50 Gsps with selectable x2, x4 and x8 interpolation filters optimized for multi-carrier and broadband wireless transmitters.
When both devices are referred to in this data sheet, the following convention will be used: DAC165xQ.
The DAC165xQ integrates a JESD204B high-speed serial input data interface running up to 10 Gbps allowing quad channel input sampling at up to 750 Msps over eight differential lanes. It offers numerous advantages over traditional parallel digital interfaces:
• Easier Printed-Circuit Board (PCB) layout
• Lower radiated noise
• Lower pin count
• Self-synchronous link
• Skew compensation
• Deterministic latency
• Multiple Device Synchronization (MDS); JESD204B subclass 1 support
• Harmonic clocking support
• Assured FPGA interoperability
There are two versions of the DAC165xQ:
• Low common-mode output voltage (part identification DAC1653Q)
• High common-mode output voltage (part identification DAC1658Q)
