GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AUX
DAC
The AD9961/AD9963 are pin-compatible, 10-/12-bit, low
power MxFE® converters that provide two ADC channels with
sample rates of 100 MSPS and two DAC channels with sample
rates to 170 MSPS. These converters are optimized for transmit
and receive signal paths of communication systems requiring low
power and low cost. The digital interfaces provide flexible
clocking options. The transmit is configurable for 1×, 2×, 4×,
and 8× interpolation. The receive path has a bypassable 2×
decimating low-pass filter.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
The AD9961 and AD9963 have five auxiliary analog channels.
Three are inputs to a 12-bit ADC. Two of these inputs can be
configured as outputs by enabling 10-bit DACs. The other
two channels are dedicated outputs from two independent
12-bit DACs.
1. High Performance with Low Power Consumption.
The DACs operate on a single 1.8 V to 3.3 V supply.
Transmit path power consumption is <100 mW at 170
MSPS. Receive path power consumption is <350 mW at
100 MSPS from 1.8 V supply. Sleep and power-down
modes are provided for low power idle periods.
The high level of integrated functionality, small size, and low
power dissipation of the AD9961/AD9963 make them well-
suited for portable and low power applications.
2. High Integration.
The dual transmit and dual receive data converters, five
channels of auxiliary data conversion and clock generation
offer complete solutions for many modem designs.
3. Flexible Digital Interface.
The interface mates seamlessly to most digital baseband
processors.
