AD9162BBCARL

Overview

The AD9162BBCARL is a high-performance, single-channel, 16-bit RF digital-to-analog converter (DAC) from Analog Devices. It supports data rates up to 6 GSPS and achieves an effective update rate of up to 12 GSPS in specific modes using its quad-switch architecture and 2× interpolator filter. The device features a JESD204B serial interface with up to eight lanes and an SPI for configuration. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and utilizes 1.2 V and 2.5 V power supplies. The component is housed in a 169-ball, 11 mm × 11 mm, 0.8 mm pitch CSP_BGA package.

Feature Summary

• 16-bit resolution with DAC update rates up to 12 GSPS minimum.
• Supports direct RF synthesis up to 7.5 GHz in Mix-Mode operation.
• Up to eight JESD204B SERDES lanes with programmable lane speeds.
• Programmable output current ranging from 8 mA to 38.76 mA.

Applications

• Broadband communications systems
• DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem termination systems (CMTS)
• Wireless infrastructure (W-CDMA, LTE, LTE-A)
• Radar and jammer systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ARL' against the manufacturer's ordering guide to confirm the reel packaging and lead-free status. Ensure compatibility with the 169-ball CSP_BGA footprint during procurement planning. Confirm that the required voltage levels for IOVDD and analog supplies match the system design specifications before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select the AD9162BBCARL when 16-bit resolution is required for high dynamic range applications. Compare it with the AD9161 if lower resolution or different interpolation requirements are acceptable. Consider the thermal management capabilities, as junction temperatures must be monitored at clock speeds exceeding 5.1 GSPS to prevent damage.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AD9161/AD9162 family of RF DACs designed for demanding high-speed radio frequency applications. It shares core architectural features with the AD9161 but offers higher resolution. Evaluation boards such as the AD9162-FMC-EBZ are available for development and testing purposes.

Replacement Considerations

The AD9161 serves as a functional alternative with 11-bit resolution. Other members of the AD916x family may offer different pin counts or performance characteristics. Verify pinout and register compatibility when substituting with other devices in the series.
