12-Bit, 100Msps ECL DAC
_______________General Description
The MAX5012 is a 12-bit, 100Msps digital-to-analog
converter (DAC) designed for digital modulation, direct
digital synthesis, high-resolution imaging, and arbitrary-
waveform-generation applications. This device is pin-
for-pin compatible with the AD9712 with significantly
improved settling time and glitch-energy performance.
The MAX5012 is an ECL-compatible device. It features
a fast 13ns settling time and low 15pV-s glitch impulse
energy, which results in excellent spurious-free dynamic
range characteristics.
The MAX5012 is available in a 28-pin plastic DIP or
PLCC package in the -40°C to +85°C extended-industrial
temperature range.

Gain is measured as a ratio of the full-scale current to I
SET
. The ratio is nominally 128.
Measured as voltage at mid-scale transition to ±0.024%; R
L
= 50Ω.
Measured from the rising edge of Latch Enable to where the output signal has left a 1LSB error band.
Glitch is measured as the largest single transient.

TEST LEVEL CODES
All electrical characteristics are subject to the following
conditions:
All parameters having min/max specifications are guar-
anteed. The Test Level column indicates the specific
device testing actually performed during production
and Quality Assurance inspection. Any black section in
the data column indicates that the specification is not
tested at the specified condition.
