The AD9725 is a 14-bit member of a high performance LVDS DAC product family that provides an upward or downward component selection path based on resolution (10 to 16 bits), performance and cost. LVDS receivers support SDR or DDR modes, with the maximum conversion rate exceeding 600 MSPS. Manufactured on a CMOS process, the AD9725 uses a proprietary switching technique that enhances dynamic performance. A wide full-scale current adjustment span of 2 mA to 20 mA allows the AD9725 to operate at reduced power levels. The current output(s) of the AD9725 can be easily configured for various single-ended or differential circuit topologies.

The AD9725 leverages the latest TxDAC+ core technology found in the AD9786 product family to achieve industry-leading noise and intermodulation distortion (IMD) performance. This record-breaking performance allows synthesis of multicarrier transmit signals at intermediate frequencies (IFs) of 140 MHz and beyond. As a result, system designers can eliminate an up-conversion stage and reduce overall parts count, ultimately lowering total system cost. Alternatively, the high conversion rate enables wideband signal synthesis.
