AD9741/AD9743/AD9745/AD9746/AD9747
FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
High dynamic range, dual DACs
Low noise and intermodulation distortion
The AD9741/AD9743/AD9745/AD9746/AD9747 are pin-
compatible, high dynamic range, dual digital-to-analog
Single carrier WCDMA ACLR = 80 dBc at 61.44 MHz IF
Innovative switching output stage permits useable outputs
beyond Nyquist frequency
LVCMOS inputs with dual-port or optional interleaved
single-port operation
Differential analog current outputs are programmable from
8.6 mA to 31.7 mA full scale
Auxiliary 10-bit current DACs with source/sink capability for
external offset nulling
converters (DACs) with 8-/10-/12-/ 14-/16-bit resolutions
and sample rates of up to 250 MSPS. The devices include
specific features for direct conversion transmit applications,
including gain and offset compensation, and they interface
seamlessly with analog quadrature modulators, such as the
ADL5370.
A proprietary, dynamic output architecture permits synthesis
of analog outputs even above Nyquist by shifting energy away
from the fundamental and into the image frequency.
Internal 1.2 V precision reference voltage source
Operates from 1.8 V and 3.3 V supplies
315 mW power dissipation
Full programmability is provided through a serial peripheral
interface (SPI) port. In addition, some pin-programmable
features are offered for those applications without a controller.
Small footprint, Pb-free, 72-pin LFCSP
