AD9172BBPZRL

Specialized ICS Overview

The AD9172BBPZRL is a dual-channel, 16-bit radio frequency digital-to-analog converter (RF DAC) from Analog Devices Inc. It supports maximum DAC update rates up to 12.6 GSPS and features an 8-lane JESD204B interface with lane rates up to 15.4 Gbps. The device integrates three bypassable complex data input channels per RF DAC, each equipped with a configurable gain stage, interpolation filter, and independent numerically controlled oscillator (NCO). Key performance metrics include a spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) of greater than 80 dBc at frequencies below 1.8 GHz and two-tone intermodulation distortion (IMD) of -83 dBc at 1.8 GHz (-7 dBFS/tone). It operates on analog and digital supply voltages typically ranging from 0.95 V to 1.89 V, dissipating approximately 2.55 W in dual-channel mode at 12 GSPS.

Specialized ICS Procurement Notes

Verify the TR suffix indicates Tape & Reel packaging for the AD9172BBPZRL variant. Confirm that the specific revision matches the required JESD204B compatibility and power dissipation limits for the target application environment.

Specialized ICS Selection Notes

Select this component for direct RF synthesis applications requiring high bandwidth and low phase noise. Ensure the host system supports the required 8-lane JESD204B interface and provides adequate thermal management for the 144-ball BGA package.

Specialized ICS Part Context

The AD9172BBPZRL belongs to the AD9172 family of high-speed RF DACs. The BBPZRL designation specifically denotes the 144-ball BGA_ED package with a metal-enhanced thermal lid, supplied in a tape and reel format for automated surface-mount assembly.
