Analog Devices AD9861 Mixed‑Signal Front‑End Transceiver Handbook
The AD9861 is a mixed‑signal front‑end (MxFE) baseband transceiver designed for broadband communication applications. It integrates dual 10‑bit ADCs and dual 10‑bit DACs with selectable interpolation rates and programmable gain control, and is supplied by a single 3.3 V rail.
The handbook provides detailed specifications for the Tx and Rx paths, power and digital characteristics, timing diagrams, absolute maximum ratings, pin configurations, and typical performance data. It also includes ordering information and a revision history for the device.
