  • Abstract
    This paper demonstrates more than one order of magnitude improvement in 6b CMOS DAC design with a test circuit operating at 56Gs/s, achieving SFDR >;30dBc and EIIOB>;4.3b up to the output frequency of 26.9GHz. Total power dissipation is less than 750mW and the core DAC die area is less than 0.6x0.4 mm2.
