14-Bit Converter Performs Direct Digital Synthesis For RF Signals To 3.6 GHz

The new AD9789 and AD9739 TxDACs feature ADI’s proprietary Mix-Mode™ super-Nyquist architecture, which supports high-fidelity digital synthesis of RF (radio frequency) signals up to 3.6 GHz. The combination of best-in-class bandwidth and dynamic range with a direct-to-RF core allows broadband and next-generation-wireless equipment designers to use a single transmit-DAC architecture for multiple communications standards while eliminating an off-chip mixer and low-pass filter to reduce design complexity, cost, size, and power. The mix-mode capability was introduced two years ago with the release of ADI’s AD974x and AD978x TxDAC product series. (Photo: Business Wire)
