The AD9740 is a 10-bit resolution, wideband, third generation member of the TxDAC series of high-performance, low power CMOS digital-to-analog converters (DACs). The TxDAC family, consisting of pin-compatible 8-, 10-, 12-, and 14-bit DACs, is specifically optimized for the transmit signal path of communication systems. All of the devices share the same interface options, small outline package, and pinout, providing an upward or downward component selection path based on performance, resolution, and cost. The AD9740 offers exceptional ac and dc performance while supporting update rates up to 165 MSPS.
