TriQuints TQ6122 GIGADAC™ is a monolithic, 8-bit digital-to-analog converter capable of conversion rates to at least 1000 Megasamples/ second. The TQ6122 DAC may be used for display generation, waveform and signal synthesis, and video signal reconstruction. The TQ6122 features a 2:1 data MUX at the input for ease of interface and offers synchronous blanking capability for maximum ease of use in video applications. It drives complementary 1 V peak-to-peak swings into 50-ohm loads; on-chip 50-ohm reverse terminations provide extremely fast settling time.
