GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9988 is a highly integrated device with four 16-bit, 12
GSPS maximum sample rate, RF digital-to-analog converter (DAC)
cores, and four 12-bit, 4 GSPS rate, RF analog-to-digital converter
(ADC) cores. The device supports four transmitter channels and
four receiver channels with a 4T4R configuration. This product is
well suited for four-antenna TDD transmitter applications, where
the receiver path can be shared between receiver and observation
modes. The GPIO pins can be configured and toggled to support
different user modes, while phase coherency is maintained. The
maximum radio channel bandwidth supported is 1.2 GHz in a 4T4R
configuration and a sample resolution of 16 bits. The AD9988
features a 16-lane 24.75 Gbps JESD204C or 15.5 Gbps JESD204B
serial data port that allows up to eight lanes per transmit/receive
link, an on-chip clock multiplier, and digital signal processing capability targeted at multiband direct to RF radio applications.
Auxiliary features
► ADC clock driver with selectable divide ratios
► Power amplifier downstream protection circuitry
► On-chip temperature monitoring unit
► Programmable GPIO pins support toggling between modes
► TDD power savings option and sharing ADCs
SERDES JESD204B or JESD204C interface, 16 lanes up to
24.75 Gbps
► 8 lanes JESD204B/C transmitter (JTx) and 8 lanes
JESD204B/C receiver (JRx)
► Supports Subclass 1
► Supports multidevice synchronization
► 15 mm × 15 mm, 324-ball BGA with 0.8 mm pitch

RECOMMENDED OPERATING CONDITIONS
Successful DAC calibration is required during the device initialization phase that occurs shortly after power-up to ensure long-term reliability of
the DAC core circuitry. Refer to UG-1578, the device user guide, for more information on device initialization.

Typical at nominal supplies and maximum at 5% supplies. For the minimum and maximum values, TJ varies between −40°C and +120°C. For
the typical values, TA = 25°C, which corresponds to TJ = 80°C, unless otherwise noted.
