About this manual

The AD9951 is a direct digital synthesizer (DDS) featuring a 14-bit DAC operating up to 400 MSPS. It uses advanced DDS technology coupled with an internal high-speed, high-performance DAC to form a digitally programmable, complete high-frequency synthesizer capable of generating a frequency-agile analog output sinusoidal waveform at up to 200 MHz. The device is designed to provide fast frequency hopping and fine tuning resolution via a 32-bit frequency tuning word loaded through a serial I/O port.
