Analog Devices’ D/A Converter Reduces Cable Head-end Signal Chain Footprint

AD9737A D/A Converter Features and Benefits:

• Low noise and intermodulation distortion enable high quality synthesis of wideband signals up to 1 GHz, reducing the number of transmit DACs required in the typical cable plant.
• Operates from 1.8-V and 3.3-V supplies for a total power consumption of 1.1 W maximum.
• Dual-port interface with double-data-rate LVDS data receivers supports the maximum conversion rate of 2.5 GSPS.
• Proprietary switching technique enhances dynamic performance.
• Output current is programmable from 8.7 mA to 31.7 mA adding flexibility in interface options.
• Not subject to US data converter export restrictions.

Pricing, Availability and Complementary Products
Complementary components include ADI’s ADCLK914 clock/data buffer, which drives the clock input of the AD9737A D/A converter with a 2 V differential swing that achieves jitter performance of 110 fs.
