High-Speed Interface for Fujitsu MB86064 DACs Reference Design
from Altera Corporation
OverviewImplementing the digital interface to drive a high-speed digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) is challenging. The conversion rates of high-speed DACs have increased significantly in recent years, so special design techniques are required to ensure data integrity. This Altera®reference design, which implements a high-speed data interface between a Stratix®device and aFujitsu MB86064 DAC, comprises two 14-bit parallel buses, each running at up to 800 million samples per second (MSPS). A key feature of the reference design combines the Stratix enhanced phase-locked loop (PLL) with the MB86064 loop-clock facility to maintain optimum clock-to-data timing.

Notes: PLD = programmable logic device SERDES = serializer/deserializer LVDS = low-voltage differential signaling DDR = double data rate SDR = single data rate
