Analog Devices AD9878 Mixed‑Signal Front End Handbook
The AD9878 is a single‑supply mixed‑signal front‑end designed for cable‑modem and set‑top‑box broadband applications. It integrates a transmit‑path interpolation filter, a quadrature digital upconverter, a 12‑bit transmit DAC, dual 12‑bit ADCs and a 10‑bit ADC, all clocked by an internal PLL.
The handbook contains electrical characteristics, absolute maximum ratings, pin‑out tables, register definitions, functional block diagrams, typical performance plots, PCB design guidelines, outline dimensions, and an ordering guide. It serves as a reference for designers implementing the device in RF front‑end modules.
