Overview
The AD9963BCPZ, manufactured by Analog Devices Inc., is a 10-/12-bit, low power Mixed-Signal Front-End (MxFE) converter. This device is designed to provide high-performance conversion for both analog-to-digital (ADC) and digital-to-analog (DAC) operations. It is optimized for use in communication systems, particularly in wireless infrastructure, medical instrumentation, and other applications requiring low power and high integration.
