The receive path LPF cutoff frequency can be programmed to either
12 MHz or 26 MHz. The filter cutoff frequency can also be tuned
or bypassed where filter requirements differ. The 10-bit ADC uses
a multistage differential pipeline architecture to achieve excellent
dynamic performance with low power consumption.
T he AD9875 is a single supply Broadband modem mixed-
signal front end (MxFE) IC. T he devices contain a transmit
path Interpolation Filter and DAC, and a receive path PGA,
LPF and ADC supporting a variety of Broadband modem
applications. Also on-chip is a PLL clock multiplier that pro-
vides all required clocks from a single crystal or clock input.
T he AD9875 provides 10-bit converter performance on both
the T x and Rx paths.
T he AD9875 provides a voltage regulator controller (VRC) that
can be used with an external power MOSFET transistor to form
a cost-effective 1.3 V linear regulator.
T he digital transmit and receive ports are each multiplexed to a
bus width of 5/6 bits and are clocked at a frequency of twice the
10-bit word rate.
T he T xDAC+ uses a selectable digital 2× or 4× interpolation
low-pass or band-pass filter to further oversample transmit
data and reduce the complexity of analog reconstruction filtering.
T he transmit path signal bandwidth can be as high as 26 M H z
at an input data rate of 64 M SPS. T he 10-bit D AC provides
differential current outputs for optimum noise and distortion
performance. T he D AC full-scale current can be adjusted
from 2 mA to 20 mA by a single resistor, providing 20 dB of
additional gain range.
T he AD9875 ADC and/or DAC can also be used at higher
sampling rates as high as 64 MSPS in a 5-bit resolution non-
multiplexed mode.
The AD9875 is pin-compatible with the 12-bit AD9876. Both are
available in a space-saving 48-lead LQFP package. They are speci-
fied over the industrial (–40°C to +85°C) temperature range.
The receive path consists of a PGA, LPF, and ADC. The two-stage
PGA has a gain range of –6 dB to +36 dB, and is programmable
in 2 dB steps, adding 42 dB of dynamic range to the receive path.
