GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9954 is a direct digital synthesizer (DDS) featuring a
14-bit DAC operating up to 400 MSPS. The AD9954 uses
advanced DDS technology, coupled with an internal high speed,
high performance DAC to form a digitally programmable,
complete high frequency synthesizer capable of generating a
frequency-agile analog output sinusoidal waveform at up to
200 MHz. The AD9954 is designed to provide fast frequency
hopping and fine tuning resolution (32-bit frequency tuning
word). The frequency tuning and control words are loaded into
AD9954
the AD9954 via a serial I/O port. The AD9954 includes an
integrated 1024 × 32 static RAM to support flexible frequency
sweep capability in several modes. The AD9954 also supports a
user defined linear sweep mode of operation. The device
includes an on-chip high speed comparator for applications
requiring a square wave output.
The AD9954 is specified to operate over the extended industrial
temperature range of –40°C to +105°C.
