The AD9737A/AD9739A are 11-bit and 14-bit, 2.5 GSPS high performance RF DACs that are capable of synthesizing wideband signals from dc up to 3 GHz. The AD9737A/AD9739A are pin and functionally compatible with the AD9739 with the exception that the AD9737A/AD9739A do not support synchronization or RZ mode, and are specified to operate between 1.6 GSPS and 2.5 GSPS. By elimination of the synchronization circuitry, some nonideal artifacts such as images and discrete clock spurs remain stationary on the AD9737A/AD9739A between power-up cycles, thus allowing for possible system calibration.

The AD9762 is the 12-bit resolution member of the TxDAC series of high performance, low power CMOS digital-to-analog converters (DACs). The TxDAC family which consists of pin compatible 8-, 10-, 12-, and 14-bit DACs is specifically optimized for the transmit signal path of communication systems. All of the devices share the same interface options, small outline package and pinout, thus providing an upward or downward component selection path based on performance, resolution and cost. The AD9762 offers exceptional ac and dc performance while supporting update rates up to 125 MSPS.The AD9762's flexible single-supply operating range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V and low power dissipation are well suited for portable and low power applications. Its power dissipation can be further reduced to a mere 45 mW without a significant degradation in performance by lowering the full-scale current output. Also, a powerdown mode reduces the standby power dissipation to approximately 25 mW.The AD9762 is manufactured on an advanced CMOS process. A segmented current source architecture is combined with a proprietary switching technique to reduce spurious components and enhance dynamic performance. Edge-triggered input latches and a 1.2 V temperature compensated bandgap reference have been integrated to provide a complete monolithic DAC solution. Flexible supply options support +3 V and +5 V CMOS logic families.The AD9762 is a current-output DAC with a nominal full-scale output current of 20 mA and > 100 k(ohm) output impedance.Differential current outputs are provided to support single-ended or differential applications. Matching between the two current outputs ensures enhanced dynamic performance in a differential output configuration. The current outputs may tied directly to an output resistor to provide two complementary, single-ended voltage outputs or fed directly into a transformer. The output voltage compliance range is 1.25 V.The on-chip reference and control amplifier are configured for maximum accuracy and flexibility. The AD9762 can be driven by the on-chip reference or by a variety of external reference voltages. The internal control amplifier which provides a wide (>10:1) adjustment span allows the AD9762 full-scale current to be adjusted over a 2 mA to 20 mA range while maintaining excellent dynamic performance. Thus, the AD9762 may operate at reduced power levels or be adjusted over a 20 dB range to provide additional gain ranging capabilities.The AD9762 is available in a 28-pin SOIC package. It is specified for operation over the industrial temperature range.

Demonstration circuit 1060 features two LT3508 step-down DC/DC switching converters. One circuit uses the LT3508EFE and the other circuit has the LT3508EUF. The LT3508 dual output step-down switching regulator has two internal power switches, a wide input voltage range, adjustable switching frequency synchronizable over the frequency range, programmable soft-start, tracking, power-good, and channel sequencing. The anti-phase switching reduces the input capacitor. The wide VIN range of the LT3508 allows step-down configurations with up to 36V input. The high power internal switches have current limit that allows for up to 1.4A output on each output. The demonstration circuit has two circuits. The top is optimized for high efficiency, wide input range and maximum output current; the bottom is optimized for the size. The top circuit is rated for 3.3V at 1.4A and 5V at 1.4A output from a 6V–36V input using the FE package. The frequency is set to 700kHz to allow for the high VIN to VOUT ratio and provides high efficiency throughout the range. The bottom circuit generates 1.8V at 1A and 3.3V at 1A from a 5V to 16V DC input using the QFN package and shows off the compact size with 1.6MHz switching frequency.
