ADI: dual 16-bit, 1.25-GSPS DAC features JESD204A-compatible serial input

Analog Devices introduced the AD9128, a 16-bit, 1.25-GSPS transmit D/A converter with integrated complex digital modulation functionality, and featuring a JESD204A-compatible serial input. The AD9128’s high-speed serial interface greatly simplifies and improves the data connection between the DAC and the FPGA in a typical system implementation. The JESD204A-compliant AD9128 offers high sampling rate and high dynamic range, enabling multicarrier generation up to the Nyquist frequency, and includes features such as an on-chip 32-bit numerically-controlled oscillator, allowing flexible placement of the intermediate frequency, complex digital modulation, and gain and offset compensation. A 4-wire serial port interface provides for programming and read-back of many of the device’s internal parameters and functions. The AD9128 supports GSM, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, CDMA2000, WiMAX, and LTE wireless communications standards.
