GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9856 integrates a high speed direct-digital synthesizer
(DDS), a high performance, high speed 12-bit digital-to-analog
converter (DAC), clock multiplier circuitry, digital filters and
other DSP functions onto a single chip, to form a complete
quadrature digital upconverter device. The AD9856 is intended
to function as a universal I/Q modulator and agile upconverter
for communications applications, where cost, size, power dissi-
pation and dynamic performance are critical attributes.
The AD9856 is available in a space-saving surface mount pack-
age and specified to operate over the extended industrial tem-
perature range of –40
°
C to +85
°
C.
