GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The
AD9152
is a dual, 16-bit, high dynamic range digital-to-
analog converter (DAC) that provides a maximum sample rate of
2.25 GSPS, permitting a multicarrier generation up to the Nyquist
frequency. The DAC outputs are optimized to interface seam-
lessly with the
ADRF6720
analog quadrature modulator (AQM)
from Analog Devices, Inc. An optional 3-wire or 4-wire serial
port interface (SPI) provides for programming/readback of
many internal parameters. The full-scale output current can be
programmed over a range of 4 mA to 20 mA. The
AD9152
is
available in a 56-lead LFCSP. The
AD9152
is a member of the
TxDAC+® family.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1.
2.
Ultrawide signal bandwidth enables emerging wideband
and multiband wireless applications.
Advanced low spurious and distortion design techniques
provide high quality synthesis of wideband signals from
baseband to high intermediate frequencies.
JESD204B Subclass 1 support simplifies multichip
synchronization in software and hardware design.
Fewer pins for data interface width with the serializer/
deserializer (SERDES) JESD204B four-lane interface.
Programmable transmit enable function allows easy design
balance between power consumption and wake-up time.
Small package size with an 8 mm × 8 mm footprint.
