ISL5961
14-Bit, +3.3V, 130/210+MSPS, High Speed D/A Converter
The ISL5961 is a 14-bit, 130/210+MSPS (Mega Samples
Per Second), CMOS, high speed, low power, D/A (digital to
analog) converter, designed specifically for use in high
performance communication systems such as base
transceiver stations utilizing 2.5G or 3G cellular protocols.
This device complements the ISL5x61 family of high speed
converters, which include 10, 12, and 14-bit devices.
