AD9136BCPZ

Overview

The AD9136BCPZ is a dual, 16-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) from Analog Devices Inc., operating at a maximum sample rate of 2.8 GSPS. It features an 8-lane JESD204B serial interface and supports Subclass 1 for deterministic latency. Key specifications include a spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) of 82 dBc at DC IF with -9 dBFS input, and a typical power consumption of 1.42 W at 1.6 GSPS. The device integrates a high-performance PLL clock multiplier, selectable interpolation filters (1× to 8×), and a digital inverse sinc filter. It is housed in an 88-lead LFCSP package with exposed pad.

Feature Summary

• Dual 16-bit DAC cores with 2.8 GSPS maximum update rate
• Flexible 8-lane JESD204B interface supporting Subclass 1
• SFDR of 82 dBc at DC IF (-9 dBFS)
• Integrated high-performance PLL clock multiplier
• Selectable 1×, 2×, 4×, or 8× interpolation filters

Applications

• Wireless communications base stations
• Software defined radios
• Wideband repeaters
• Automated test equipment
• Point-to-point and multipoint distribution systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'BCPZ' against the manufacturer's current ordering guide to confirm package type, lead finish, and environmental compliance status. Ensure that the required supply voltages (AVDD33, DVDD12, SVDD12, etc.) match the system design constraints before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select the AD9136BCPZ when high dynamic range and wide bandwidth are required for multi-carrier signal generation. Compare against the AD9135 if 11-bit resolution is sufficient, as it offers similar performance characteristics. Consider the power consumption of 1.42 W at 1.6 GSPS for thermal management planning within the 88-lead LFCSP footprint.

Part Context

This component belongs to the TxDAC+ family of high-speed digital-to-analog converters. It is designed to interface seamlessly with analog quadrature modulators such as the ADRF6720. The device shares functional similarities with the AD9135 but differs in resolution, offering 16 bits compared to the AD9135's 11 bits.

Replacement Considerations

The AD9135 is a compatible alternative within the same series, offering 11-bit resolution instead of 16-bit. Both devices share the same package and interface standards. Verify pin compatibility and resolution requirements before substitution.
