First 16 bit DAC to achieve a sample rate of 1 GSaps

9 February 2005 Analogue, Mixed Signal, LSI

Analog Devices has introduced a 16-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that achieves a sample rate of 1 GSaps (giga-samples-per-second), which the company claims makes it twice as fast as competing solutions. Importantly, at these industry-leading speeds, ADI says the AD9779 maintains its trademark signal processing performance offering best-in-class dynamic range, noise and distortion, while consuming up to 36% less power than competing solutions.

The highly integrated interpolating dual AD9779 is designed to enable high quality conversion of demanding wireless standards, such as W-CDMA, CDMA2000, TD-SCDMA and WiMAX.
