TDAC-2000 Digital-to-Analog Converter Modules

Real-time. Faster. Proven.

The TDAC-2000 is the world’s fastest commercially available 10-bit DAC (digital-to-analog converter) module, providing single-channel waveform generation at 12 GS/s (Gigasamples per second). Providing access to proprietary Tektronix ASIC technology, the TDAC-2000 is able to sustain full-bandwidth streaming at 120 Gigabits per second.

TDAC-2000 Overview
The TDAC-2000 is comprised of multiplexers and a 10-bit digital-to-analog converter operating at 12 GS/s. Data is supplied to the multiplexers via 320 data lines at 375 Mbps (120 Gbps aggregate rate) using clocks generated by the DAC and multiplexers from a 12 GHz input clock.
