Burr-Brown Introduces High-Speed Digital-to-Analog Converter for High-Performance Wireless Communications.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers TUCSON, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 23, 2000 Burr-Brown Corp. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :BBRC BBRC Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications BBRC Bellevue Breakfast Rotary Club (Washington state) BBRC Ball Brothers Research Corporation ) today announced the DAC See D/A converter and discretionary access control. DAC - Digital to Analog Converter 904, a high-speed digital-to-analog converter (DAC) featuring the dynamic performance, speed, and low noise demanded in high-performance wireless communications applications such as cellular/paging basestation transceivers. The 14-bit DAC904 is ideal for a wide variety of other communications systems including wireless local loop (WLL See wireless local loop and PHS-WLL. ), fiber optics, wireless LANs, microwave radio links, set-top boxes, and cable modems. The DAC904 is optimized for use in the transmit signal path of communications systems. Utilizing a small geometry CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) Pronounced "c-moss." The most widely used integrated circuit design. It is found in almost every electronic product from handheld devices to mainframes. process, the DAC904 can be operated on a wide supply range of +2.7V to +5.5V, allowing use in portable and battery-powered systems. The DAC904 is also well suited for test instrumentation such as arbitrary waveform generators (ARB, DDS (1) (Digital Data Storage) See DAT. (2) (Data Dictionary System) See QuickBuild and OpenDDS. (3) (Dataphone Digital S ) and other signal generation and control applications. "The DAC904's dynamic performance, low noise and low distortion meet the critical requirements of narrowband as well as wideband communications systems," said Stephan Baier, strategic marketing engineer at Burr-Brown. "Its outstanding price/performance ratio makes it an excellent choice for existing and next-generation communications transmitter designs." The 14-bit DAC904 successfully extends Burr-Brown's innovative family of high-speed (165MSPS MSPS Mega-Samples Per Second MSPS Million Samples Per Second MSPS Michigan Society of Professional Surveyors MSPS Modular Synthesis Plug-In System MSPS Million Symbols per Second MSPS mobilization stationing and planning system (US DoD) ) DACs which includes the recently introduced 10-bit DAC900 and 12-bit DAC902. This family will be completed with the upcoming introduction of the 8-bit DAC908 (1Q'00). All members are pin-compatible for easy resolution upgrades using the same layout. Technical Detail Features include high update rate (200Msps at 5V, 165Msps at 3V), low glitch (3pV-s), differential current outputs, an adjustable 2mA to 20mA full-scale output range, and an internal +1.24V reference. Power consumption is 170mW at 5V, or 45mW in power-down mode. Both +3V and +5V CMOS logic families can be interfaced to the DAC904. The advanced segmentation architecture of the DAC904 provides a high Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR SFDR Spurious-Free Dynamic Range SFDR Spurious Free Dynamic Range (RF communications) SFDR Standard Flight Data Recorder SFDR Secondary Flight Display Repeater (aviation) SFDR System Functional Design Review = 20MHz output at 100Msps: 67dBc) for single-tone, as well as for multi-tone signals. The DAC904 is priced from $14.95 in 1,000 piece quantities and packaged in an SO-28 (a TSSOP-28 package will be available later in 1Q'00). Delivery is from stock.
