The value of Vpp of IOUT decreases as the frequency increases.

Thread Summary

The user observed that the Vpp of IOUT decreases with increasing frequency in an AD9838 frequency generator circuit, while IOUTB maintains a consistent Vpp. The solution involves using an amplifier at the output of the DDS when driving capacitive loads, such as coaxial cables. The AD9834 LTSpice model can be used to simulate the circuit, as the AD9838 is identical to the AD9834 except for the maximum clock frequency.

Hello

A frequency generator circuit was designed using AD9383.
I tried to use both IOUT and IOUTB, but the Vpp of each waveform is different.
IOUTB maintains Vpp according to the change in frequency, but the Vpp value of the output of IOUT decreases as the frequency increases.
Is there a way to maintain IOUT's Vpp as the frequency increases?
