Fabricated in an 80 GHz fT GaAs HBT process, the RDA012 has been optimized for ultra-high speed applications, achieving 66dB of spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) at 1.1 GS/s, with Fout of 370MHz and 100MHz of bandwidth. The DAC utilizes a segmented current source to reduce glitch energy and to achieve high linearity performance. For better dynamic performance, the DAC outputs are internally terminated with 50Ù resistance. It outputs a nominally full-scale current of 12mA when terminated with external 50Ù resistors.

Page 7 of 11 Theory of Operation For best dynamic and static performance, the RDA012 DAC employs 4 Bit segmentation. The ECL compatible 12 Bit digital data inputs are latched by master-slave flip-flops immediately after the input buffer to reduce the data skew. The 4 MSB data bits are decoded into thermometer code by a two-stage decoding...
