The AD9868 is a mixed-signal front-end (MxFE) IC for transceiver applications requiring Tx path and Rx path functionality with data rates up to 80 MSPS. A lower cost, pin-compatible version of the AD9865, the AD9868 removes the current amplifier (IAMP) IOUTP functionality and limits the PLL VCO operating range of 80 MHz to 200 MHz.The part is well-suited for half- and full-duplex applications.
