Computer chip

This chip
Contains two 12-bit 4MHz DACs. The chip also contains a isolated opamp and resistor segment for testing purposes. The DAC accepts a 12-bit digital input signal in binary format. The output is a 1.4Vpp sine wave of up to 2MHz, centered at 2.25V.

The project report (PDF) contains a description of the project and details of the design and layout. It also contains testing results of the manufactured design.
