Q: What makes RVX1213PPB unique compared to AD9164?

RVX1213PPB operates at 12.8GSPS versus 12GSPS for AD9164, with 6.4GHz instantaneous bandwidth. More significantly, its SFDR at 1000MHz is 75dB versus AD9164's typical 65dB, and the 12.8GSPS rate has no direct Western-catalog equivalent. It is suitable for direct RF synthesis beyond 10GHz using higher Nyquist zones.

Q: Is RVX16S12GPPB pin-compatible with AD9164?

RVX16S12GPPB uses the same BGA196 package footprint as AD9164. JESD204B lane configuration and interpolation settings are compatible. Full pin mapping and initialization sequence differences are documented in the datasheet package available on request.

Q: What is the export status of Radivix DAC products?

All Radivix DAC products are distributed by Radivix Technology Limited, registered in Hong Kong. They are domestically manufactured in China and are not subject to US EAR, ITAR, or EU export controls. They can be exported to the Middle East, CIS countries, and most global markets under Hong Kong export regulations.
