The AD9786 is a 16-bit, high speed, CMOS DAC with 2×/4×/8× interpolation and signal processing features tuned for communications applications. It offers state-of-the-art distortion and noise performance. The AD9786 was developed to meet the demanding performance requirements of multicarrier and third-generation base stations. The selectable interpolation filters simplify interfacing to a variety of input data rates while also taking advantage of oversampling performance gains. The modulation modes allow convenient bandwidth placement and selectable sideband suppression.
