Abstract: This paper presents a 10-GHz 8-bit direct digital synthesizer (DDS) microwave monolithic integrated circuit implemented in 1 μm GaAs HBT technology. The DDS takes a double-edge-trigger (DET) 8-stage pipeline accumulator with sine-weighted DAC-based ROM-less architecture, which can maximize the utilization ratio of the GaAs HBT’s high-speed potential. With an output frequency up to 5 GHz, the DDS gives an average spurious free dynamic range of 23.24 dBc through the first Nyquist band, and consumes 2.4 W of DC power from a single –4.6 V DC supply. Using 1651 GaAs HBT transistors, the total area of the DDS chip is 2.4×2.0 mm2.
Key words: DDS, double-edge-trigger, CML, ECL, GaAs HBT, sine-weighted DAC
