TxDAC+ Digital-to-Analog Converter
Enhanced Product
AD9122-EP
FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Flexible LVDS interface allows word, byte, or nibble load
Single-carrier W-CDMA ACLR = 82 dBc at 122.88 MHz IF
Analog output: adjustable 8.7 mA to 31.7 mA
Integrated 1x/2×/4×/8× interpolator/complex modulator
allows carrier placement anywhere in the DAC bandwidth
Gain, dc offset, and phase adjustment for sideband
suppression
Multiple chip synchronization interfaces
High performance, low noise PLL clock multiplier
Digital inverse sinc filter
The AD9122-EP is a dual, 16-bit, high dynamic range digital-to-
analog converter (DAC) that provides a sample rate of 1130 MSPS,
permitting multicarrier generation up to the Nyquist frequency.
The AD9122-EP TxDAC+® includes features optimized for direct
conversion transmit applications, including complex digital
modulation, and gain and offset compensation. The DAC outputs
are optimized to interface seamlessly with analog quadrature
modulators, such as the ADL537x F-MOD series from Analog
Devices, Inc. A 4-wire serial port interface provides for
programming/readback of many internal parameters. Full-scale
output current can be programmed over a range of 8.7 mA to
31.7 mA. The AD9122-EP comes in a 72-lead LFCSP. Additional
application and technical information can be found in the
AD9122 data sheet.
Low power: 1.5 W at 1.2 GSPS, 800 mW at 500 MSPS, full
operating conditions
72-lead, exposed paddle LFCSP

Qualification data available on request
1. Ultralow noise and intermodulation distortion (IMD)
enable high quality synthesis of wideband signals from
baseband to high intermediate frequencies (IF).
2. Proprietary DAC output switching technique enhances
dynamic performance.
3. Current outputs are easily configured for various single-
ended or differential circuit topologies.
4. Flexible LVDS digital interface allows the standard 32-wire
bus to be reduced to one-half or one-quarter of the width.
APPLICATIONS
Wireless infrastructure
W-CDMA, CDMA2000, TD-SCDMA, WiMAX, GSM, LTE
