The MAX5881 is a
12-bit, 4,3 GSPS Cable Downstream Direct RF
Synthesis DAC. It can be used for multi channel
Up Converter implementation if used with a high
performance FPGA (Virtex5-SX) for digital signal
processing to convert the base band channel coded
streams to a very high speed digital stream.
The MAX5881 can place the channels virtually
anywhere from 0 to 2GHz. This solution can
support up 16 channels. RF engineering is greatly
simplified by using advanced digital techniques
that reduces the analog RF part of the design to
very few components.
Compact and high performance design can be
achieved at reasonable engineering and production
cost. |
