Hello.
I have a question about AD9863. I'm planning to use its DACs to generate in IQ pair, and I do not need its ADCs. Is it safe to leave the ADCs' refercence decoupling pins open without affecting performance?
Thank you very much in advance.

Hi -
I would suggest bypassing the ADC reference pins in order to avoid potential oscillation of the references. A noise source.
Thanks,
