The AD9106 TxDAC^® and waveform generator is a high performance, quad digital-to-analog converter (DAC) integrating on-chip pattern memory for complex waveform generation with a direct digital synthesizer (DDS). The DDS is a 12-bit output, up to 180 MHz master clock sinewave generator with a 24-bit tuning word allowing 10.8 Hz/LSB frequency resolution. The DDS has a single frequency output for all four DACs and independent programmable phase shift outputs for each of the four DACs.

SRAM data can include directly generated stored waveforms, amplitude modulation patterns applied to DDS outputs, or DDS frequency tuning words.

An internal pattern control state machine allows the user to program the pattern period for all four DACs as well as the start delay within the pattern period for the signal output on each DAC channel.

Registers accessed using the serial peripheral interface (SPI) configure the digital waveform generator and load patterns into the SRAM.

There are gain adjustment factors and offset adjustments applied to the digital signals on their way into the four DACs.

The AD9106 offers exceptional ac and dc performance and supports DAC sampling rates up to 180 MSPS. The flexible power supply operating range of 1.8 V to 3.3 V and low power dissipation of the AD9106 make it well suited for portable and low power applications.

Features and Benefits

180 MSPS 12-bit quad digital-to-analog converter with SPI interface
Balun or amplifier options for differential to single-ended output voltage conversion
On-board and external clocking options
Small, Arduino Uno form factor
Can be used with Mbed-enabled hardware like SDP-K1

Product Details

The AD9106 and AD9102 evaluation boards are compatible with ARM-based Mbed-enabled boards like SDP-K1 and are designed to connect to Arduino Uno headers.

The evaluation setup can be powered by USB only and does not require a high-frequency waveform generator for clock input. The evaluation board by default uses an on-board 156.25 MHz crystal oscillator as clock source but provides external clocking option. DAC outputs can be transformer-coupled or evaluated with on-board amplifiers.

Along with the hardware, example source codes are provided and can be used as starting point for developing firmware for targeted applications. The evaluation boards and the example source codes with minor changes can work with other Mbed platforms.
