Overview
The AD9136BCPZ is a dual, 16-bit, high dynamic range digital-to-analog converter (DAC) produced by Analog Devices Inc. This component is part of the TxDAC+ family and is designed to provide a maximum sample rate of 2800 MSPS, enabling multicarrier generation over a very wide bandwidth. The DAC outputs are optimized to interface seamlessly with analog quadrature modulators (AQMs) such as the ADRF6720 from Analog Devices. The AD9136BCPZ is available in an 88-lead LFCSP package and features an optional 3-wire or 4-wire serial port interface (SPI) for programming and readback of internal parameters.
