PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD9772A is a single-supply, oversampling, 14-bit digital-
to-analog converter (DAC) optimized for baseband or IF
waveform reconstruction applications requiring exceptional
dynamic range. Manufactured on an advanced CMOS process,
it integrates a complete, low distortion 14-bit DAC with a 2
digital interpolation filter and clock multiplier. The on-chip
PLL clock multiplier provides all the necessary clocks for the
digital filter and the 14-bit DAC. A flexible differential clock
input allows for a single-ended or differential clock driver for
optimum jitter performance.
For baseband applications, the 2 digital interpolation filter
provides a low-pass response, hence providing up to a threefold
reduction in the complexity of the analog reconstruction filter. It
does so by multiplying the input data rate by a factor of two
while simultaneously suppressing the original upper in-band
image by more than 73 dB. For direct IF applications, the 2
digital interpolation filter response can be reconfigured to select
the upper in-band image (i.e., high-pass response) while suppress-
ing the original baseband image. To increase the signal level of
the higher IF images and their passband flatness in direct IF
applications, the AD9772A also features a “zero stuffing” option
in which the data following the 2 interpolation filter is upsampled
by a factor of two by inserting midscale data samples.
The AD9772A can reconstruct full-scale waveforms with band-
widths as high as 67.5 MHz while operating at an input data rate of
160 MSPS. The 14-bit DAC provides differential current outputs
to support differential or single-ended applications. A segmented
current source architecture is combined with a proprietary
switching technique to reduce spurious components and enhance
dynamic performance. Matching between the two current outputs
ensures enhanced dynamic performance in a differential output
configuration. The differential current outputs may be fed into a
transformer or a differential op amp topology to obtain a single-
ended output voltage using an appropriate resistive load.
The on-chip bandgap reference and control amplifier are config-
ured for maximum accuracy and flexibility. The AD9772A can
be driven by the on-chip reference or by a variety of external
reference voltages. The full-scale current of the AD9772A can
be adjusted over a 2 mA to 20 mA range, thus providing addi-
tional gain ranging capabilities.
The AD9772A is available in a 48-lead LQFP package and
specified for operation over the industrial temperature range
of –40
°
C to +85
°
C.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. A flexible, low power 2 interpolation filter supporting
reconstruction bandwidths of up to 67.5 MHz can be config-
ured for a low- or high-pass response with 73 dB of image
rejection for traditional baseband or direct IF applications.
2. A “zero-stuffing” option enhances direct IF applications.
3. A low glitch, fast settling 14-bit DAC provides exceptional
dynamic range for both baseband and direct IF waveform
reconstruction applications.
4. The AD9772A digital interface, consisting of edge-
triggered latches and a flexible differential or single-ended
clock input, can support input data rates up to 160 MSPS.
5. On-chip PLL clock multiplier generates all of the inter-
nal high-speed clocks required by the interpolation filter
and DAC.
6. The current output(s) of the AD9772A can easily be config-
ured for various single-ended or differential circuit topologies.
