Analog Devices’ D/A Converter Improves Television Viewing Experience
July 11 2016 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) today introduced a D/A converter that
brings the future of television to today's home viewers, enabling
them to enjoy ultra–high-definition (UHD) and 4K television across
more channels at unprecedented streaming and download speeds. The
new AD9162 D/A converter represents a breakthrough for the industry
because it provides broadband and wireless service operators with
the industry’s highest bandwidth and dynamic range to satisfy
rising consumer demand for higher quality, always-on data and video
streaming without requiring expensive, large-scale architecture or
converter design changes.

The 16-bit, 12-GSPS AD9162 converter’s best-in-class 2.5-GHz
bandwidth exceeds the 1.794-GHz optional future requirement
specified by the cable industry’s DOCSIS 3.1 standard by nearly 40
percent. The wider bandwidth affords cable operators the ability to
plan next-generation network upgrades and capacity expansions
without changing converter designs, which reduces product
development time and engineering resources.
The AD9162 converter’s industry-best dynamic range (-82-dBc SFDR
at -167-dBm/Hz NSD) allows designers to synthesize signals across a
wide frequency spectrum from direct-to-RF up to 6 GHz. In wireless
applications, this eliminates an IF-to-RF up-conversion stage and
local oscillator generation, reducing base station component count,
size and power consumption. The AD9162 supports all wireless
communications infrastructure protocols (WCDMA, LTE, LTE-A,
point-to-point), enabling advanced multiband and multi-standard
radio designs.
Additional Features and BenefitsThe AD9162 converter
features a 2x interpolator (FIR85) that enables configurations for
lower data rates and converter clocking to reduce overall system
power and ease filtering requirements. In mix-mode operation, the
RF D/A converters can be configured to reconstruct RF carriers in
the 2nd and 3rd Nyquist zones up to 7.5 GHz while maintaining
exceptional dynamic range.
