DAC38RF97IAAV

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC38RF97IAAV is a dual-channel, 14-bit digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It supports a maximum sample rate of 6 GSPS with 12x to 24x interpolation capabilities. The device utilizes a current source architecture and features an integrated phase-locked loop (PLL) operating at 6 GHz and 9 GHz frequencies. It communicates via the JESD204B interface and provides voltage outputs. The component 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

• Dual-channel architecture supporting high-speed parallel data conversion
• Integrated 6 GHz and 9 GHz PLL for clock generation
• Supports multiple interpolation factors including 12x, 16x, 18x, 20x, and 24x
• JESD204B serial interface for high-speed data transmission

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Wireless infrastructure base stations
• Software-defined radio systems
• Test and measurement equipment requiring high-speed signal generation

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official documentation to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with required JESD204B lane configurations and clocking schemes before procurement. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling requirements during storage and assembly processes.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this model when a 6 GSPS update rate is sufficient for the application bandwidth. Compare against the DAC38RF83 or DAC38RF90 series if higher sampling rates such as 9 GSPS are required. Verify that the 14-bit resolution meets the dynamic range requirements for the intended RF synthesis task.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This component belongs to the DAC38RF family of ultra-high-speed digital-to-analog converters designed for demanding RF applications. The family shares common architectural features such as the FCBGA-144 package and JESD204B interface, differing primarily in maximum sampling speeds and interpolation options across variants like the DAC38RF83 and DAC38RF90.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitutes include the DAC38RF83IAAV and DAC38RF90IAAV. These alternatives offer different sampling rates while maintaining similar pinouts and interfaces.
