DAC38RF80IAAVR

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC38RF80IAAVR is a dual-channel, 14-bit RF-sampling digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It supports sampling rates up to 9 GSPS and features an integrated phase-locked loop (PLL) for frequency multiplication. The device accepts data via the JESD204B interface and offers flexible output configurations, including single-ended or differential voltage outputs. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and is housed in a 144-FCBGA package.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Integrates a high-performance PLL capable of multiplying input clock frequencies from 6x to 24x to achieve maximum output sample rates.
• Supports JESD204B serial data interface for simplified system connectivity and reduced pin count.
• Provides configurable analog output stages that can be set for either single-ended or differential operation.

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Software-defined radio base stations
• Point-to-point microwave backhaul systems
• Electronic warfare and signal intelligence platforms

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'R' indicates tape-and-reel packaging rather than tray packaging when placing orders. Confirm RoHS compliance status with the supplier. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact revision level required for your design. Request the latest datasheet to verify any recent electrical parameter updates before finalizing procurement specifications.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-channel architecture with on-chip clock generation is required to minimize external passive components. Compare power consumption figures against single-channel alternatives if space is constrained. Verify that the host processor supports the necessary JESD204B lane count and latency requirements for the chosen interpolation mode.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This device belongs to the DAC38RF80 family, which shares architectural similarities with other members like the DAC38RF83 and DAC38J84. While those variants may differ in channel count or resolution, the DAC38RF80 series is specifically optimized for direct RF synthesis applications requiring high linearity and wide instantaneous bandwidth.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The DAC38RF80IAAV serves as the tray-packaged equivalent of this reel-delivered part. Designers should verify pinout compatibility if substituting between different package styles within the same functional family.
