PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD9765 is a dual port, high speed, two channel, 12-bit
CMOS DAC. It integrates two high quality 12-bit TxDAC+
cores, a voltage reference and digital interface circuitry into a small
48-lead LQFP package. The AD9765 offers exceptional ac and
dc performance while supporting update rates up to 125 MSPS.
The AD9765 is manufactured on an advanced low cost CMOS
process. It operates from a single supply of 3.0 V to 5.0 V and
consumes 380 mW of power.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. The AD9765 is a member of a pin-compatible family of dual
TxDACs providing 8-, 10-, 12-, and 14-bit resolution.
The AD9765 has been optimized for processing I and Q data in
communications applications. The digital interface consists of
two double-buffered latches as well as control logic. Separate
write inputs allow data to be written to the two DAC ports
independent of one another. Separate clocks control the update
rate of the DACs.
2. Dual 12-Bit, 125 MSPS DACs: A pair of high performance
DACs optimized for low distortion performance provide for
flexible transmission of I and Q information.
A mode control pin allows the AD9765 to interface to two separate
data ports, or to a single interleaved high speed data port. In inter-
leaving mode the input data stream is demuxed into its original
I and Q data and then latched. The I and Q data is then con-
verted by the two DACs and updated at half the input data rate.
3. Matching: Gain matching is typically 0.1% of full scale, and
offset error is better than 0.02%.
4. Low Power: Complete CMOS Dual DAC function operates
on 380 mW from a 3.0 V to 5.0 V single supply. The DAC
full-scale current can be reduced for lower power operation,
and a sleep mode is provided for low power idle periods.
The GAINCTRL pin allows two modes for setting the full-scale
current (IOUTFS) of the two DACs. IOUTFS for each DAC can be
set independently using two external resistors, or IOUTFS for both
DACs can be set by using a single external resistor.2
5. On-Chip Voltage Reference: The AD9765 includes a 1.20 V
temperature-compensated bandgap voltage reference.
6. Dual 12-Bit Inputs: The AD9765 features a flexible dual-
port interface allowing dual or interleaved input data.
The DACs utilize a segmented current source architecture com-
bined with a proprietary switching technique to reduce glitch
energy and to maximize dynamic accuracy. Each DAC provides
differential current output thus supporting single-ended or dif-
ferential applications. Both DACs can be simultaneously updated
