Please let me know two points below about a setup in case DAC5681ZEVM estimates.
・Is there any application note in the case of using in combination with TSW1400EVM?
・Can TSW3100EVM be ordered?
Best regards,
Satoshi

Hi Satoshi,
The TSW1400 is the preferred pattern generator for the DAC5681z. this DAC is fully supported by the TSW1400.

Dear Matt Guibord-san
Thank you for reply.
Can DAC5681Z evaluate the following specifications?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
・The kind of signal to measure
⇒CW(Continuous wave), Pulsed-CW, Chirp-signal
・Generate 150MHz(IF).
・Bandwidth:50MHz
・DAC sampling frequency:200MHz.
Interpolation is 1x2 Hipass mode.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If DAC5681Z cannot evaluate the above-mentioned spec,
can DAC5687 and DAC5688 be evaluate the above-mentioned spec?
Best regards,
Satoshi
Hi Satoshi,
I'm assuming "DAC sampling frequency" means the input rate, thus the DAC output rate in 1x2 HP mode would be 400 Msps. If so, then yes, you can use 1x2 HP mode to take a 200 Msps input signal, interpolate up to 400 Msps, and output a signal from 125 MHz to 175 MHz. Note that the DAC image will sit at 225 MHz which would need to be filtered out in the final application.

Hi Satoshi-san,
The DAC doesn't place any limits on the type of signals that are used. The only concern would be a true pulse output while using interpolation if a sharp edge is desired. The interpolation filter will "smooth" the edge of the pulse because it will band limit the signal due to the interpolation filters. For any signal that is already band limited, the interpolation filter will have no effect. Otherwise, 1x interpolation would need to be used, requiring a higher data rate.
