General Description

The MAX5883 is an advanced, 12-bit, 200Msps digital-

to-analog converter (DAC) designed to meet the

demanding performance requirements of signal synthe-

sis applications found in wireless base stations and

other communications applications. Operating from a

single 3.3V supply, this DAC offers exceptional dynamic

performance such as 77dBc spurious-free dynamic

update rates of 200Msps at a power dissipation of less

than 200mW.

The MAX5883 utilizes a current-steering architecture,

which supports a full-scale output current range of 2mA

to 20mA, and allows a differential output voltage swing

The MAX5883 features an integrated 1.2V bandgap

reference and control amplifier to ensure high accuracy

and low noise performance. Additionally, a separate

reference input pin enables the user to apply an exter-

nal reference source for optimum flexibility and to

improve gain accuracy.

The digital and clock inputs of the MAX5883 are

designed for CMOS-compatible voltage levels. The

MAX5883 is available in a 48-pin QFN package with an

exposed paddle (EP) and is specified for the extended

industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).

Refer to the MAX5884 and MAX5885 data sheets for

pin-compatible 14- and 16-bit versions of the MAX5883.

For LVDS high-speed versions, refer to the MAX5886,

MAX5887, and MAX5888 data sheets.
