Understanding the passive termination for current output DACs

Genius 12965 points

The following link is to an app-note which covers the general requirements for terminating a current output DAC.  The document focuses on understanding the resistive termination, transformer termination, biasing and filter considerations as well as the interface to an IQ modulator.  Both current sink and source DACs are discussed.
