AD9164BBCZRL

Overview

The AD9164BBCZRL is a 16-bit, high-performance digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and direct digital synthesizer (DDS) from Analog Devices. It supports DAC update rates up to 6 GSPS directly, or up to 12 GSPS when utilizing the internal 2× interpolator filter. The device features a quad-switch architecture coupled with bypassable interpolation filters (2×, 3×, 4×, 6×, 8×, 12×, 16×, 24×). It includes a bank of 32 numerically controlled oscillators (NCOs) for fast frequency hopping capabilities. The data interface consists of up to eight JESD204B serializer/deserializer lanes. It operates within an ambient temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• 16-bit resolution with DAC update rates up to 6 GSPS (direct) or 12 GSPS (with 2× interpolation enabled).
• Integrated Direct Digital Synthesizer (DDS) comprising 32, 32-bit NCOs with phase accumulators.
• Up to eight JESD204B SERDES lanes with programmable lane speeds and counts.
• Supports Mix-Mode operation for RF carrier reconstruction in Nyquist zones up to 7.5 GHz.

Applications

• Broadband communications systems
• DOCSIS 3.1 CMTS, video on demand (VOD), and edge quadrature amplitude modulation (EQAM)
• Wireless communications infrastructure including W-CDMA, LTE, and LTE-A

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'BBCZRL' against the manufacturer's ordering guide to confirm package type (165-ball CSP_BGA) and ball material options. Ensure that the required power supply voltages (VDD25_DAC at 2.5 V, VDD12A/CLK at 1.2 V, and VNEG_N1P2 at -1.2 V) are compatible with the system design before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high dynamic range and signal reconstruction bandwidth up to 7.5 GHz. Consider the thermal management requirements, as the device can dissipate nearly 3 W depending on configuration; an exposed die package requires effective cooling via the PCB or heat sink to maintain junction temperatures below 105°C at maximum clock speeds.

Part Context

The AD9164 belongs to Analog Devices' family of high-speed RF DACs. The BBCZRL designation indicates a specific variant within the AD9164 series, typically denoting the 165-ball, 8 mm × 8 mm, 0.5 mm pitch CSP_BGA package with leaded ball options. This part is designed to meet DOCSIS 3.1 compliance and multiband wireless standards.
