PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The AD9956 is Analog Devices’ newest AgileRF synthesizer. The device is comprised of DDS and PLL circuitry. The DDS features a 14-bit DAC operating at up to 400 MSPS and a 48-bit frequency tuning word (FTW). The PLL circuitry includes a phase frequency detector with scaleable 200 MHz inputs (divider inputs operate up to 655 MHz) and digital control over the charge pump current. The device also includes a 655 MHz CML-mode PECL-compliant driver with programmable slew rates. The AD9956 uses advanced DDS technology, an internal high speed, high performance DAC, and an advanced phase frequency detector/charge pump combination, which, when used with an external VCO, enables the synthesis of digitally programmable, frequency-agile analog output sinusoidal waveforms up to 2.7 GHz.
