PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD9875 is a single-supply broadband modem mixedsignal front end (MxFE) IC. The devices contain a transmit
path Interpolation Filter and DAC, and a receive path PGA,
LPF, and ADC supporting a variety of broadband modem
applications. Also on chip is a PLL clock multiplier that provides all required clocks from a single crystal or clock input.
The AD9875 provides 10-bit converter performance on both
the Tx and Rx paths.
The TxDAC+ uses a selectable digital 2× or 4× interpolation
low-pass or band-pass filter to further oversample transmit
data and reduce the complexity of analog reconstruction filtering.
The transmit path signal bandwidth can be as high as 26 MHz
at an input data rate of 64 MSPS. The 10-bit DAC provides
differential current outputs for optimum noise and distortion
performance. The DAC full-scale current can be adjusted
from 2 mA to 20 mA by a single resistor, providing 20 dB of
additional gain range.
The receive path consists of a PGA, LPF, and ADC. The two-stage
PGA has a gain range of –6 dB to +36 dB, and is programmable
in 2 dB steps, adding 42 dB of dynamic range to the receive path.

The receive path LPF cutoff frequency can be programmed to either
12 MHz or 26 MHz. The filter cutoff frequency can also be tuned
or bypassed where filter requirements differ. The 10-bit ADC
uses a multistage differential pipeline architecture to achieve
excellent dynamic performance with low power consumption.
The AD9875 provides a voltage regulator controller (VRC) that
can be used with an external power MOSFET transistor to form
a cost-effective 1.3 V linear regulator.
The digital transmit and receive ports are each multiplexed to a
bus width of 5/6 bits and are clocked at a frequency of twice the
10-bit word rate.
The AD9875 ADC and/or DAC can also be used at higher
sampling rates as high as 64 MSPS in a 5-bit resolution nonmultiplexed mode.
The AD9875 is pin compatible with the 12-bit AD9876. Both are
available in a space-saving 48-lead LQFP package. They are specified
over the industrial (–40°C to +85°C) temperature range.

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although
the AD9875 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on
devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are
recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

DEFINITIONS OF SPECIFICATIONS
CLOCK JITTER
The clock jitter is a measure of the intrinsic jitter of the PLL
generated clocks. It is a measure of the jitter from one rising
and of the clock with respect to another edge of the clock nine
cycles later.
DIFFERENTIAL NONLINEARITY ERROR
(DNL, NO MISSING CODES)
An ideal converter exhibits code transitions that are exactly 1 LSB
apart. DNL is the deviation from this ideal value. Guaranteed
no missing codes to 10-bit resolution indicates that all 1024
codes respectively, must be present over all operating ranges.
INTEGRAL NONLINEARITY ERROR (INL)
Linearity error refers to the deviation of each individual code from
a line drawn from “negative full scale” through “positive full
scale.” The point used as “negative full scale” occurs 1/2 LSB
before the first code transition. “positive full scale” is defined as
a level 1 1/2 LSB beyond the last code transition. The deviation
is measured from the middle of each particular code to the true
straight line.
PHASE NOISE
Single-sideband phase noise power density is specified relative to
the carrier (dBc/Hz) at a given frequency offset (1 kHz) from the
carrier. Phase noise can be measured directly on a generated single
tone with a spectrum analyzer that supports noise marker measurements. It detects the relative power between the carrier and
the offset (1 kHz) sideband noise and takes the resolution bandwidth (rbw) into account by subtracting 10 log(rbw). It also adds
a correction factor that compensates for the implementation of the
resolution bandwidth, log display and detector characteristic.
OUTPUT COMPLIANCE RANGE
The range of allowable voltage at the output of a current-output
DAC. Operation beyond the maximum compliance limits may
cause either output stage saturation, resulting in nonlinear performance or breakdown.
SPURIOUS–FREE DYNAMIC RANGE (SFDR)
The difference, in dB, between the rms amplitude of the DACs
output signal (or ADC’s input signal) and the peak spurious
signal over the specified bandwidth (Nyquist bandwidth unless
otherwise noted).
PIPELINE DELAY (LATENCY)
The number of clock cycles between conversion initiation and
the associated output data being made available.
OFFSET ERROR
First transition should occur for an analog value 1/2 LSB above
negative full scale. Offset error is defined as the deviation of the
actual transition from that point.
GAIN ERROR
The first code transition should occur at an analog value 1/2 LSB
above negative full scale. The last transition should occur for an
analog value 1 1/2 LSB below the nominal full scale. Gain error
is the deviation of the actual difference between first and last
code transitions and the ideal difference between first and last
code transitions.
INPUT REFERRED NOISE
The rms output noise is measured using histogram techniques.
The ADC output codes’ standard deviation is calculated in LSB,
and converted to an equivalent voltage. This results in a noise
figure that can be directly referred to the Rx input of the AD9875.
SIGNAL-TO-NOISE AND DISTORTION RATIO (SINAD)
SINAD is the ratio of the rms value of the measured input signal to
the rms sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist
frequency, including harmonics but excluding dc. The value for
SINAD is expressed in decibels.
EFFECTIVE NUMBER OF BITS (ENOB)
For a sine wave, SINAD can be expressed in terms of the number
of bits. Using the following formula,
N = (SINAD – 1.76) dB/6.02
it is possible to get a measure of performance expressed as N,
the effective number of bits.
SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIO (SNR)
SNR is the ratio of the rms value of the measured input signal to
the rms sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist
frequency, excluding harmonics and dc. The value for SNR is
expressed in decibels.
TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION (THD)
THD is the ratio of the rms sum of the first six harmonic com-
ponents to the rms value of the measured input signal and is
expressed as a percentage or in decibels.
POWER SUPPLY REJECTION
Power Supply Rejection specifies the converters maximum
full-scale change when the supplies are varied from nominal to
minimum and maximum specified voltages.
