PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD9773 is the 12 bit member of the AD977x family of
pin-compatible, high performance, programmable 2×/4×/8×
interpolating TxDAC+s. The AD977x family features a serial
port interface (SPI) providing a high level of programmability thus allowing for enhanced system level options. These
options include: selectable 2×/4×/8× interpolation filters;
Fs/2, Fs/4 or Fs/8 digital quadrature modulation with image
rejection; a direct IF mode; programmable channel gain
and offset control; programmable internal clock divider;
straight binary or two’s complement data interface; and a
single port or dual port data interface.

Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and
reliable. However, no responsibility is assumed by Analog Devices for its
use, nor for any infringements of patents or other rights of third parties
which may result from its use. No license is granted by implication or
otherwise under any patent or patent rights of Analog Devices.
The selectable 2×/4×/8× interpolation filters simplify the
requirements of the reconstruction filters while simultaneously enhancing the TxDAC+ family’s passband noise/
distortion performance. The independent channel gain and
offset registers allow the user to calibrate LO feedthrough
and sideband suppression errors associated with analog
quadrature modulators. The 6 dB of gain adjustment range
also can be used to control the output power level of each
DAC.
The AD9773 features the ability to perform Fs/4 and Fs/8
digital modulation and image rejection when combined
with an analog quadrature modulator. In this mode, the
AD9773 would accept I and Q complex data (representing a
single or multicarrier waveform), generate a quadrature
modulated IF signal along with its orthogonal representation via its dual DACs, and present these two reconstructed orthogonal IF carriers to an analog quadrature
modulator to complete the image rejection upconversion
process. Another digital modulation mode (i.e. the Direct
IF Mode) allows the original baseband signal representation to be frequency translated such that pairs of images
fall at multiples of 1/2 the DAC update rate.
The AD9773 family includes a flexible clock interface
accepting differential or single-ended sinewave or digital
logic inputs. An internal PLL clock multiplier is also
included to generate the necessary on-chip high frequency
clocks. It can also be disabled to allow the use of a higher
performance external clock source. An internal programmable divider simplifies clock generation in the converter
when using an external clock source. A flexible data input
interface allows for straight binary or 2’s complement
formats as well as supports single port interleaved or dual
port data.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. The AD9773 is the 12 bit member of the AD977x family of
pin-compatible, high performance, programmable 2×/4×/8×
interpolating TxDAC+s.
2. Direct IF Transmission capability for 70MHz +IFs
through a novel digital mixing process
3. Fs/8 Digital Quadrature Modulation and user selectable
image rejection to simplify /remove cascaded SA W filter
stages
4. 2×/4×/8× User Selectable Interpolating Filter eases data
rate and output signal reconstruction filter requirements.
5. User selectable 2’s Complement/Straight Binary Data
Coding.
6. User programmable Channel Gain Control over 1 dB
range in 0.01dB increments
7. User programmable Channel Offset +/-10% over the FSR
8. Ultra high speed 400 MSPS DAC conversion rate.
9. Internal Clock Divider provides data rate clock for easy
interfacing.
10. Flexible Clock Input with Single Ended or Differential
Input, CMOS or 1V p-p LO Sinewave input capability .
11. Low Power: Complete CMOS DAC operates on <700
mW from a 3.0V to 3.6V single supply. The 20ma full-scale
current can be reduced for lower power operation, and a
several sleep functions are provided to reduce power
during idle periods.
12. On-chip V oltage Reference: The AD9773 includes a 1.20
V temperature-compensated bandgap voltage reference.
13. Small 80 lead LQFP
Dual high performance TxDAC+s provides a differential
current output programmable over a 0-20mA range. The
AD9773 is manufactured on an advanced 0.35 micron
CMOS process, operates from a single supply of 3.0V to 3.6
V and consumes <700 mW of power.
T argeted at wide dynamic range, Multi-Carrier and MultiStandard systems, the superb baseband performance of the
AD9773 is ideal for Wideband-CDMA, Multi-Carrier
CDMA, Multi-Carrier TDMA, Multi-Carrier GSM and high
performance systems employing high order QAM modulation schemes. The image rejection feature simplifies and
can help to reduce the number of signal band filters needed
in an transmit signal chain. The direct IF mode helps to
eliminate a costly mixer stage for a variety of communica-
