The AD9762 is the 12-bit resolution member of the TxDAC
series of high performance, low power CMOS digital-to-analog
converters (DACs). The TxDAC family which consists of pin
compatible 8-, 10-, 12-, and 14-bit DACs is specifically optimized
for the transmit signal path of communication systems.
All of the devices share the same interface options, small outline
package and pinout, thus providing an upward or downward
component selection path based on performance, resolution and
cost. The AD9762 offers exceptional ac and dc performance
while supporting update rates up to 125 MSPS.
The AD9762’s flexible single-supply operating range of 2.7 V to
5.5 V and low power dissipation are well suited for portable and
low power applications. Its power dissipation can be further
reduced to a mere 45 mW without a significant degradation in
performance by lowering the full-scale current output. Also, a
power-down mode reduces the standby power dissipation to
approximately 25 mW.
The AD9762 is manufactured on an advanced CMOS process.
A segmented current source architecture is combined with a
proprietary switching technique to reduce spurious components
and enhance dynamic performance. Edge-triggered input
latches and a 1.2 V temperature compensated bandgap reference
have been integrated to provide a complete monolithic
DAC solution. Flexible supply options support +3 V and +5 V
CMOS logic families.
The AD9762 is a current-output DAC with a nominal full-scale
output current of 20 mA and > 100 kΩ output impedance.
