DAC38RF86IAAVR

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC38RF86IAAVR is a dual-channel, 14-bit digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates at a sampling rate of 9 GSPS and features 6x to 24x interpolation capabilities. The device integrates a 6 GHz and 9 GHz phase-locked loop (PLL) synthesizer for clock generation. It utilizes a JESD204B interface for data input and provides buffered voltage outputs. The component is housed in a 144-FCBGA package and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Integrates high-frequency PLL synthesizers supporting 6 GHz and 9 GHz operation
• Includes programmable interpolation filters with ratios ranging from 6x to 24x
• Provides differential buffered voltage outputs for direct RF driving

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Software-defined radio systems
• Electronic warfare platforms
• Advanced radar transmitters

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AAVR' against official documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging status. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the 144-FCBGA package. Confirm that the design accounts for the thermal requirements associated with high-speed operation at 9 GSPS.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-channel performance at 9 GSPS is required. The integrated interpolation reduces baseband processing load. Verify that the system architecture supports JESD204B standards. Consider the power consumption profile relative to available cooling solutions for the FCBGA enclosure.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the DAC38RF8x family of ultra-high-speed converters. It shares architectural similarities with models like the DAC38RF87IAAVR but differs in specific configuration options or calibration parameters. The series is designed for demanding wireless infrastructure applications requiring high linearity and dynamic range.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The DAC38RF87IAAVR is a documented substitute within the same product family. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and functional equivalence before implementation.
