Abstract

A 1.2GS/s 15b DAC achieves untrimmed SFDR of -70dBc to f/sub s//4 and -63dBc to Nyquist (with 10dB better results at 500MS/s). A per-element resampling scheme and dynamic element matching achieve DNL of 2LSB. In RZ output mode, ACPR for a 20MHz band at 900MHz is 69dB. The chip uses 40GHz-f/sub T/ NPN and is implemented in 0.35 /spl mu/m CMOS.
