With >78dBc 2-Tone IMD Up to 1GHz, the LTC2000 Is Ideal
for Direct RF Synthesis
The LTC®2000 is a 2.5Gsps current steering DAC that offers unparalleled linearity to directly synthesize RF signals up to 1GHz
with exceptional spectral purity. With a nominal output current of 40mA, the LTC2000 is capable of generating an output that
is ±1V compliant into a 100Ω differential load, which is matched with its internal impedance – resulting in outstanding signal
integrity. The LTC2000 has very low additive phase noise and remarkably low latency (only 7.5 cycles for single port and only 11
cycles for dual port).
