Analog Devices AD9858 GSPS Direct Digital Synthesizer Datasheet Rev C
The AD9858 is a direct digital synthesizer (DDS) featuring a 10‑bit digital‑to‑analog converter (DAC) operating up to 1 GSPS. It provides fast frequency hopping, a 32‑bit programmable frequency register, and an integrated 2 GHz mixer for agile clock synthesis and VHF/UHF LO generation. The device supports both parallel (8‑bit) and serial (SPI) programming interfaces and includes an internal charge pump and phase‑frequency detector for PLL functions.
Key specifications include a 3.3 V supply (typical), power dissipation of about 2 W, and an operating temperature range of –40 °C to +85 °C. The part is offered in a 100‑lead thin‑quad flat package with an exposed thermal pad and is RoHS compliant. Applications span cellular base‑station hopping synthesizers, radars, SONET/SDH clock synthesis, and instrumentation.
