Analog Devices AD9162 16-Bit Digital to Analog Converter

The Analog Devices AD9162 is a high-performance 16-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) designed for demanding radio frequency (RF) applications. It supports data rates up to 6 gigasamples per second (GSPS) and, with its 2× interpolator filter, achieves an effective DAC update rate of up to 12 GSPS in certain modes.

Key Features:

• High Dynamic Range and Bandwidth: The AD9162’s wide bandwidth and dynamic range make it suitable for applications requiring precise signal reconstruction, such as DOCSIS 3.1 cable infrastructure.

• Flexible Data Interface: It features up to eight lanes of JESD204B serializer/deserializer (SERDES), offering flexibility in lane count and speed to accommodate various system requirements.

• Output Current Programmability: The DAC’s output current can be programmed from 8 mA to 38.76 mA, allowing for adaptability across different application needs.

• Mix-Mode™ Operation: This mode enables the reconstruction of RF carriers in the second and third Nyquist zones, extending up to 7.5 GHz while maintaining exceptional dynamic range.
