About this manual

The AD9739A is a 14‑bit, 2.5 GSPS RF digital‑to‑analog converter capable of synthesizing wideband signals from DC up to 3 GHz. It is pin‑compatible with the AD9739, but does not support synchronization and operates between 1.6 GSPS and 2.5 GSPS. The device includes on‑chip controllers, a dual‑port LVDS interface, and a programmable output current range.

The document provides functional block diagrams, detailed pin‑out tables, electrical specifications, absolute maximum ratings, thermal resistance data, and recommended start‑up sequences. It also contains performance charts for various DOCSIS carrier configurations and guidance for SPI register programming.
