MAX5857EXE+T

Overview

The MAX5857EXE+T is a high-performance, interpolating and modulating 16-bit RF Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) from Analog Devices. It features a maximum update rate of 5.9 GSPS and supports direct digital synthesis of signals up to 1.2 GHz. The device integrates a JESD204B interface for high-speed data input and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Packaged in a 144-lead FCCSP (10x10 mm) surface-mount format, it utilizes reference voltages of 1.2 V, 1.8 V, and 1 V. Key linearity specifications include a Differential Nonlinearity (DNL) of 1.5 LSB and an Integral Nonlinearity (INL) of 3 LSB.
