GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9739 is a 14-bit, 2.5 GSPS high performance RF digital-
to-analog converter (DAC) capable of synthesizing wideband
signals from dc up to 3.0 GHz. Its DAC core features a quad-
switch architecture that provides exceptionally low distortion
performance with an industry-leading direct RF synthesis
capability. This feature enables multicarrier generation up to
the Nyquist frequency in baseband mode as well as second and
third Nyquist zones in mix mode. The output current can be
programmed over the 8.66 mA to 31.66 mA range.
The inclusion of on-chip controllers simplifies system integration.
A dual-port, source synchronous, LVDS interface simplifies the
digital interface with existing FGPA/ASIC technology. On-chip
controllers are used to manage external and internal clock domain
variations over temperature to ensure reliable data transfer from
the host to the DAC core. Multichip synchronization is possible
with an on-chip synchronization controller. A serial peripheral
interface (SPI) is used for device configuration as well as readback
of status registers.
The AD9739 is manufactured on a 0.18 μm CMOS process and
operates from 1.8 V and 3.3 V supplies. It is supplied in a 160-ball
chip scale ball grid array for reduced package parasitics.
