Data Sheet November 1999
14-Bit, 125+MSPS, CommLinkTMHigh
Speed D/A Converter
The HI5960 is a 14-bit, 125+MSPS (Mega Samples Per
Second), high speed, low power, D/A converter which is
implemented in an advanced CMOS process. Operating
from a single +3V to +5V supply, the converter provides
20mA of full scale output current and includes edgetriggered CMOS input data latches. Low glitch energy and
excellentfrequency domain performance are achieved using
a segmented current source architecture.
This devicecomplements the CommLink HI5x60 and HI5x28
family of high speed converters, which includes 8, 10, 12,
and 14-bit devices.
