Dual, 16-Bit, 2.8 GSPS, TxDAC+Digital-to-Analog Converter

The AD9135 / AD9136 are dual, 11-/16-bit, high dynamic range digital-to-analog converters (DACs) that provide a maximum sample rate of 2800 MSPS, permitting a multicarrier generation over a very wide bandwidth. The DAC outputs are optimized to interface seamlessly with the ADRF6720, as well as other analog quadrature modulators (AQMs) 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 typical range of 13.9 mA to 27.0 mA. The AD9135/AD9136 are available in an 88-lead LFCSP.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS

* Greater than 2 GHz, ultrawide complex 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.
