Dual 16-Bit, 1.0 GSPS
D/A Converter
AD9779
Preliminary Technical Data
DAC that provides a sample rate of 1 GSPS, permitting multi
carrier generation up to its Nyquist frequency. It 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 AD8349. A serial peripheral
interface (SPI) provides for programming many internal
FEATURES
• 1.8/3.3 V Single Supply Operation
• Low power: 950mW (IOUTFS = 20 mA; fDAC = 1 GSPS, 4×
Interpolation
• DNL = 1.5 LSB, INL = 5.0 LSB
• SFDR =82 dBc to fOUT = 100 MHz
• ACLR = 87 dBc @ 80 MHz IF
parameters and also enables read-back of status registers. The
output current can be programmed over a range of 10mA to 30mA.
The AD9779 is manufactured on an advanced 0.18µm CMOS
process and operates from 1.8V and 3.3V supplies for a total power
consumption of 950mW. It is supplied in a 100-lead QFP package.
• CMOS data interface with Autotracking Input Timing
• Analog Output: Adjustable 10-30mA (RL=25 Ω to 50 Ω)
• 100-lead Exposed Paddle TQFP Package
• Multiple Chip Synchronization Interface
• 84dB Digital Interpolation Filter Stopband Attenuation
• Digital Inverse Sinc Filter
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
Ultra-low noise and Intermodulation Distortion (IMD) enable
high quality synthesis of wideband signals from baseband to high
intermediate frequencies.
APPLICATIONS
• Wireless Infrastructure
Direct Conversion
Single-ended CMOS interface supports a maximum input rate of
300 MSPS with 1x interpolation.
Transmit Diversity
• Wideband Communications Systems:
Point-to-Point Wireless, LMDS
Manufactured on a CMOS process, the AD9779 uses a proprietary
switching technique that enhances dynamic performance.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The current outputs of the AD9779 can be easily configured for
various single-ended or differential circuit topologies.
The AD9779 is a dual 16-bit high performance, high frequency
