1. Interpolation is performed by FIR filters in hardware. For 2x (4x) interpolation, samples are read from
memory at a rate up to 32.5 GSa/s (16.25 GSa/s) and interpolated to a DAC sample rate of up to 65 GSa/s.
For interpolation = none, the sample rate from memory is the same as the DAC sample rate.
2. With default FIR configuration the maximum sample rate is calculated as 80% of Nyquist.
With custom FIR configurations higher output frequencies can be achieved.
3. Effective switching frequency is determined as 1/fmax, with fmax = fSa(max) / 2.5
4. Unused output must be terminated with 50 Ω to GND. In case the termination voltage is not GND, the unused
output must be terminated to VTerm
5. Sample rate 64 GSa/s, output amplitude 500 mVpp(se)
.
.
6. Termination voltage = 0 V; adjusted at 23 °C ambient temperature, amplitude increases by 0.2%/°C (typ) for
ambient temperature below 23 °C.
7. Termination voltage = 0 V.
8. 10 GHz clock; 1 V ampl.; 60 GSa/s.
