Target product summary

AD9721BN

ADI marks the AD9721 product family as obsolete and suggests AD9760 as the recommended replacement. We published AD9721BN as the complete MPN for this obsolete 10-bit 400 MSPS DAC variant, and legacy waveform-generation or communications designs should recheck update rate, output topology, package constraints, and system timing before approving AD9760 as a service replacement.

Verification notes

Cross-reference pages are useful starting points, not automatic design approvals. Always re-check footprint, electrical limits, lifecycle timing, qualification documents, firmware implications, and supply-chain constraints before releasing a BOM change.
