Dual 16-bit TxDAC+ permits multicarrier generation up to Nyquist frequency

Mouser now stocks the Analog Devices AD9152, a dual, 16-Bit TxDAC+ digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with a maximum sample rate of 2.25GSPS permits a multicarrier generation up to the Nyquist frequency. The AD9152's DAC outputs are optimized to interface seamlessly with ADI's ADRF6720 analog quadrature modulators (AQMs). An optional 3-wire or 4-wire serial port interface (SPI) delivers programming / read-back of many internal parameters. Designers can program full-scale output current over a range of 4mA to 20mA. The programmable transmit enable function allows easy design balance between power consumption and wake-up time. AD9152's advanced low spurious and distortion design techniques offer high quality synthesis of wideband signals from baseband to high intermediate frequencies. With its small package size and ultra-wide signal bandwidth, the AD9152 dual, 16-Bit TxDAC+ DAC is ideal for emerging wideband and multiband wireless applications including multicarrier LTE / GSM base stations, wideband repeaters, software-defined radios, point-to-point microwave radios, LMDS/MMSD, transmit diversity, multiple input/multiple output (MIMO), instrumentation, and automated test equipment. Evaluation boards are also available.
