The HI5960 is a 14-bit, 130MSPS (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
excellent frequency domain performance are achieved using
a segmented current source architecture.
This device complements the HI5x60 and HI5x28 family of
high speed converters, which includes 8, 10, 12, and 14-bit
devices.
