Analog Devices AD5932 Handbook
The AD5932 is a programmable waveform generator that provides a frequency‑scan capability with up to 25 MHz output. It offers pre‑programmed frequency profiles, burst‑and‑listen operation, and a 3‑wire serial interface that can run at clock rates up to 40 MHz. The device operates from a 2.3 V to 5.5 V supply and includes a standby mode to reduce power consumption.
The handbook includes a functional block diagram, detailed timing specifications, absolute maximum ratings, and a test circuit. It also lists typical performance characteristics such as 10‑bit DAC resolution, 50 MSPS update rate, and a wake‑up time of 1.7 ms. Application examples cover frequency scanning, radar, impedance measurement, and motion sensing.
