Description
Analog bandwidth is measured with the ideal sin(x)/x response curve of the DAC
mathematically removed from the measured data.
At 750 mV
single ended:
pp
DC - 2 GHz (–3 dB bandwidth).
DC - 4 GHz (–6 dB bandwidth).
At 1.5 V
single ended:
pp
DC - 1.3 GHz (–3 dB bandwidth).
The analog bandwidth degrades as the amplitude is increased beyond 750 mV.
At 2 V
single-ended:
pp
DC – 370 MHz (–3 dB bandwidth).
At 4 V
single-ended:
pp
DC – 200 MHz (–3 dB bandwidth).
10 MHz - 2 GHz (–3 dB bandwidth).
10 MHz - 4 GHz (–6 dB bandwidth).
10 MHz - 2 GHz (–3 dB bandwidth).
10 MHz - 4 GHz (–6 dB bandwidth).
Rise and fall times only apply to DC output paths.
