GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9510 provides a multi-output clock distribution
function along with an on-chip PLL core. The design emphasizes
low jitter and phase noise to maximize data converter
performance. Other applications with demanding phase noise
and jitter requirements also benefit from this part.
The PLL section consists of a programmable reference divider
(R); a low noise phase frequency detector (PFD); a precision
charge pump (CP); and a programmable feedback divider (N).
By connecting an external VCXO or VCO to the CLK2/CLK2B
pins, frequencies up to 1.6 GHz may be synchronized to the
input reference.
There are eight independent clock outputs. Four outputs are
LVPECL (1.2 GHz), and four are selectable as either LVDS
(800 MHz) or CMOS (250 MHz) levels.

infringements of patents or other rights of third parties that may result from its use.
Specifications subject to change without notice. No license is granted by implication
or otherwise under any patent or patent rights of Analog Devices. Trademarks and
registered trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
Each output has a programmable divider that may be bypassed
or set to divide by any integer up to 32. The phase of one clock
output relative to another clock output may be varied by means
of a divider phase select function that serves as a coarse timing
adjustment. Two of the LVDS/CMOS outputs feature
programmable delay elements with full-scale ranges up to 10 ns
of delay. This fine tuning delay block has 5-bit resolution, giving
32 possible delays from which to choose for each full-scale
setting.
The AD9510 is ideally suited for data converter clocking
applications where maximum converter performance is
achieved by encode signals with subpicosecond jitter.
The AD9510 is available in a 64-lead LFCSP and can be
operated from a single 3.3 V supply. An external VCO, which
requires an extended voltage range, can be accommodated
by connecting the charge pump supply (VCP) to 5.5 V. The
temperature range is −40°C to +85°C.

TERMINOLOGY
Phase Jitter and Phase Noise
An ideal sine wave can be thought of as having a continuous
and even progression of phase with time from 0 to 360 degrees
for each cycle. Actual signals, however, display a certain amount
of variation from ideal phase progression over time. This
phenomenon is called phase jitter. Although many causes can
contribute to phase jitter, one major cause is random noise,
which is characterized statistically as being Gaussian (normal)
in distribution.
This phase jitter leads to a spreading out of the energy of the
sine wave in the frequency domain, producing a continuous
power spectrum. This power spectrum is usually reported as a
series of values whose units are dBc/Hz at a given offset in
frequency from the sine wave (carrier). The value is a ratio
(expressed in dB) of the power contained within a 1 Hz
bandwidth with respect to the power at the carrier frequency.
For each measurement, the offset from the carrier frequency is
also given.
It is meaningful to integrate the total power contained within
some interval of offset frequencies (for example, 10 kHz to
10 MHz). This is called the integrated phase noise over that
frequency offset interval and can be readily related to the time
jitter due to the phase noise within that offset frequency
interval.
Phase noise has a detrimental effect on the performance of
ADCs, DACs, and RF mixers. It lowers the achievable dynamic
range of the converters and mixers, although they are affected
in somewhat different ways.
Time Jitter
Phase noise is a frequency domain phenomenon. In the
time domain, the same effect is exhibited as time jitter. When
observing a sine wave, the time of successive zero crossings is
seen to vary. In a square wave, the time jitter is seen as a
displacement of the edges from their ideal (regular) times of
occurrence. In both cases, the variations in timing from the
ideal are the time jitter. Since these variations are random in
nature, the time jitter is specified in units of seconds root mean
square (rms) or 1 sigma of the Gaussian distribution.
Time jitter that occurs on a sampling clock for a DAC or an
ADC decreases the SNR and dynamic range of the converter.
A sampling clock with the lowest possible jitter provides the
highest performance from a given converter.
Additive Phase Noise
It is the amount of phase noise that is attributable to the device
or subsystem being measured. The phase noise of any external
oscillators or clock sources has been subtracted. This makes it
possible to predict the degree to which the device impacts the
total system phase noise when used in conjunction with the
various oscillators and clock sources, each of which contribute
their own phase noise to the total. In many cases, the phase
noise of one element dominates the system phase noise.

This is the most common operational mode for the AD9510.
An external oscillator (shown as VCO/VCXO) is phase locked
to a reference input frequency applied to REFIN. The loop filter
is usually a passive design. A VCO or a VCXO can be used. The
CLK2 input is connected internally to the feedback divider, N.
The CLK2 input provides the feedback path for the PLL. If the
VCO/VCXO frequency exceeds maximum frequency of the
output(s) being used, an appropriate divide ratio must be set in

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
OVERALL
Figure 33 shows a block diagram of the AD9510. The chip
combines a programmable PLL core with a configurable clock
distribution system. A complete PLL requires the addition of a
suitable external VCO (or VCXO) and loop filter. This PLL
can lock to a reference input signal and produce an output that
is related to the input frequency by the ratio defined by the
programmable R and N dividers. The PLL cleans up some jitter
from the external reference signal, depending on the loop
bandwidth and the phase noise performance of the VCO
(VCXO).
The output from the VCO (VCXO) can be applied to the clock
distribution section of the chip, where it can be divided by any
integer value from 1 to 32. The duty cycle and relative phase of
the outputs can be selected. There are four LVPECL outputs,
(OUT0, OUT1, OUT2, and OUT3) and four outputs that can be
either LVDS or CMOS level outputs (OUT4, OUT5, OUT6, and
OUT7). Two of these outputs (OUT5 and OUT6) can also make
use of a variable delay block.
Alternatively, the clock distribution section can be driven
directly by an external clock signal, and the PLL can be powered
off. Whenever the clock distribution section is used alone, there
is no clock clean-up. The jitter of the input clock signal is
passed along directly to the distribution section and may
dominate at the clock outputs.
PLL SECTION
The AD9510 consists of a PLL section and a distribution
section. If desired, the PLL section can be used separately from
the distribution section.
The AD9510 has a complete PLL core on-chip, requiring only
an external loop filter and VCO/VCXO. This PLL is based on
the ADF4106, a PLL noted for its superb low phase noise
performance. The operation of the AD9510 PLL is nearly
identical to that of the ADF4106, offering an advantage to
those with experience with the ADF series of PLLs. Differences
include the addition of differential inputs at REFIN and CLK2,
a different control register architecture. Also, the prescaler has
been changed to allow N as low as 1. The AD9510 PLL
implements the digital lock detect feature somewhat differently
than the ADF4106 does, offering improved functionality at
higher PFD rates. See the
PLL Reference Input—REFIN
The REFIN/REFINB pins can be driven by either a differential
or a single-ended signal. These pins are internally self-biased so
that they can be ac-coupled via capacitors. It is possible to dccouple to these inputs. If REFIN is driven single-ended, the
unused side (REFINB) should be decoupled via a suitable

VCO/VCXO Clock Input—CLK2
The CLK2 differential input is used to connect an external
VCO or VCXO to the PLL. Only the CLK2 input port has a
connection to the PLL N divider. This input can receive up to
1.6 GHz. These inputs are internally self-biased and must be
ac-coupled via capacitors.
Alternatively, CLK2 may be used as an input to the distribution
section. This is accomplished by setting Register 45h<0> = 0b.
The default condition is for CLK1 to feed the distribution
section.

PLL Reference Divider—R
The REFIN/REFINB inputs are routed to reference divider, R,
which is a 14-bit counter. R may be programmed to any value
from 1 to 16383 (a value of 0 results in a divide by 1) via its
control register (OBh<5:0>, OCh<7:0>). The output of the R
divider goes to one of the phase/frequency detector inputs. The
maximum allowable frequency into the phase, frequency
detector (PFD) must not be exceeded. This means that the
REFIN frequency divided by R must be less than the maximum
allowable PFD frequency. See
VCO/VCXO Feedback Divider—N (P, A, B)
The N divider is a combination of a prescaler, P, (3 bits) and
two counters, A (6 bits) and B (13 bits). Although the AD9510’s
PLL is similar to the ADF4106, the AD9510 has a redesigned
prescaler that allows lower values of N. The prescaler has both a
dual modulus (DM) and a fixed divide (FD) mode. The
AD9510 prescaler modes are shown in

can be applied to CLK2. See

Table 15.
A and B Counters
The AD9510 B counter has a bypass mode (B = 1), which is not
available on the ADF4106. The B counter bypass mode is valid
only when using the prescaler in FD mode. The B counter is
bypassed by writing 1 to the B counter bypass bit (0Ah<6> =
1b). The valid range of the B counter is 3 to 8191. The default
after a reset is 0, which is invalid.
Note that the A counter is not used when the prescaler is in
FD mode.
Note also that the A/B counters have their own reset bit,
which is primarily intended for testing. The A and B counters
can also be reset using the R, A, and B counters’ shared reset bit
(09h<0>).

Phase Frequency Detector (PFD) and Charge Pump
The PFD takes inputs from the R counter and the N counter
(N = BP + A) and produces an output proportional to the
phase and frequency difference between them.
Figure 36 is a
simplified schematic. The PFD includes a programmable delay
element that controls the width of the antibacklash pulse. This
pulse ensures that there is no dead zone in the PFD transfer
function and minimizes phase noise and reference spurs. Two
bits in Register 0Dh <1:0> control the width of the pulse.

The output multiplexer on the AD9510 allows access to
various signals and internal points on the chip at the STATUS
pin.
Figure 37 shows a block diagram of the STATUS pin
section. The function of the STATUS pin is controlled by
Register 08h<5:2>.
PLL Digital Lock Detect
The STATUS pin can display two types of PLL lock detect:

PLL Analog Lock Detect
An analog lock detect (ALD) signal may be selected. When
ALD is selected, the signal at the STATUS pin is either an
open-drain P-channel (08h<5:2> = 1100) or an open-drain
N-channel (08h<5:2> = 0101b).
The analog lock detect signal is true (relative to the selected
mode) with brief false pulses. These false pulses get shorter as
the inputs to the PFD are nearer to coincidence and longer as
they are further from coincidence.
To extract a usable analog lock detect signal, an external RC
network is required to provide an analog filter with the
appropriate RC constant to allow for the discrimination of a
lock condition by an external voltage comparator. A 1 kΩ
resistor in parallel with a small capacitance usually fulfills this
requirement. However, some experimentation may be required
to get the desired operation.

The digital lock detect (DLD) block of the AD9510 requires a
PLL reference signal to be present in order for the digital lock
detect output to be valid. It is possible to have a digital lock
detect indication (DLD = true) that remains true even after a
loss-of-reference signal. For this reason, the digital lock detect
signal alone cannot be relied upon if the reference has been lost.
There is a way to combine the DLD and the LREF into a single
signal at the STATUS pin. Set 08h<5:2> = <1101> to get a signal
that is the logical OR of the loss-of-lock (inverse of DLD) and
the loss-of-reference (LREF) active high. If an active low version
of this same signal is desired, set 08h<5:2> = <1110>.
The reference monitor is enabled only after the DLD signal has
been high for the number of PFD cycles set by the value in
07h<6:5>. This delay is measured in PFD cycles. The delay
ranges from 3 PFD cycles (default) to 24 PFD cycles. When the
reference goes away, LREF goes true and the charge pump goes
into tri-state.
The analog lock detect function may introduce some spurious
energy into the clock outputs. It is prudent to limit the use of
the ALD when the best possible jitter/phase noise performance
is required on the clock outputs.
Loss of Reference
The AD9510 PLL can warn of a loss-of-reference signal at
REFIN. The loss-of-reference monitor internally sets a flag
called LREF. Externally, this signal can be observed in several
ways on the STATUS pin, depending on the PLL MUX control
settings in Register 08h<5:2>. The LREF alone can be observed
as an active high signal by setting 08h<5:2> = <1010> or as an
active low signal by setting 08h<5:2> = <1111>.
The loss-of-reference circuit is clocked by the signal from the
VCO, which means that there must be a VCO signal present in
order to detect a loss of reference.
Rev. A | Page 32 of 60
User intervention is required to take the part out of this state.
First, 07h<2> = 0b must be written to disable the loss-ofreference circuit, taking the charge pump out of tri-state and
causing LREF to go false. A second write of 07h<2> = 1 is
required to re-enable the loss-of-reference circuit.

FUNCTION PIN
The FUNCTION pin (16) has three functions that are selected
by the value in Register 58h<6:5>. This pin is internally pulled
down by a 30 kΩ resistor. If this pin is left NC, the part is in
reset by default. To avoid this, connect this pin to V
1 kΩ resistor.
RESETB: 58h<6:5> = 00b (Default)
In its default mode, the FUNCTION pin acts as RESETB, which
generates an asynchronous reset or hard reset when pulled low.
The resulting reset writes the default values into the serial
control port buffer registers as well as loading them into the
chip control registers. When the RESETB signal goes high
again, a synchronous sync is issued (see the
= 01b section) and the AD9510 resumes operation according to
the default values of the registers.
SYNCB: 58h<6:5>
SYNCB: 58h<6:5> = 01b
The FUNCTION pin may be used to cause a synchronization
or alignment of phase among the various clock outputs. The
synchronization applies only to clock outputs that
• are not powered down
• the divider is not masked (no sync = 0b)
• are not bypassed (bypass = 0b)
SYNCB is level and rising edge sensitive. When SYNCB is low,
the set of affected outputs are held in a predetermined state,
defined by each divider’s start high bit. On a rising edge, the
dividers begin after a predefined number of fast clock cycles
(fast clock is the selected clock input, CLK1 or CLK2) as
determined by the values in the divider’s phase offset bits.
The SYNCB application of the FUNCTION pin is always active,
regardless of whether the pin is also assigned to perform reset
or power-down. When the SYNCB function is selected, the
FUNCTION pin does not act as either RESETB or PDB.
PDB: 58h<6:5> = 11b
The FUNCTION pin may also be programmed to work as an
asynchronous full power-down, PDB. Even in this full powerdown mode, there is still some residual V
some on-chip references continue to operate. In PDB mode,
the FUNCTION pin is active low. The chip remains in a powerdown state until PDB is returned to logic high. The chip returns
to the settings programmed prior to the power-down.

DISTRIBUTION SECTION
As previously mentioned, the AD9510 is partitioned into two
operational sections: PLL and distribution. The
was discussed previously. If desired, the distribution section can
be used separately from the PLL section.
PLL Section
CLK1 AND CLK2 CLOCK INPUTS
Either CLK1 or CLK2 may be selected as the input to the
distribution section. The CLK1 input can be connected to drive
the distribution section only. CLK1 is selected as the source for
the distribution section by setting Register 45h<0> = 1. This is
the power-up default state.
CLK1 and CLK2 work for inputs up to 1600 MHz. The jitter
performance is improved by a higher input slew rate. The input
level should be between approximately 150 mV p-p to no more
than 2 V p-p. Anything greater may result in turning on the
protection diodes on the input pins, which could degrade the
jitter performance.
See
Figure 35 for the CLK1 and CLK2 equivalent input circuit.
These inputs are fully differential and self-biased. The signal
should be ac-coupled using capacitors. If a single-ended input
must be used, this can be accommodated by ac coupling to one
side of the differential input only. The other side of the input
should be bypassed to a quiet ac ground by a capacitor.
The unselected clock input (CLK1 or CLK2) should be powered
down to eliminate any possibility of unwanted crosstalk
between the selected clock input and the unselected clock input.
DIVIDERS
Each of the eight clock outputs of the AD9510 has its own
divider. The divider can be bypassed to get an output at the
same frequency as the input (1×). When a divider is bypassed,
it is powered down to save power.
All integer divide ratios from 1 to 32 may be selected. A divide
ratio of 1 is selected by bypassing the divider.
Each divider can be configured for divide ratio, phase, and duty
cycle. The phase and duty cycle values that can be selected
depend on the divide ratio that is chosen.
See the
Chip Power-Down or Sleep Mode—PDB section for
more details on what occurs during a PDB initiated powerdown.

to the registers that control each individual output, OUT0 to
OUT7. These are the even numbered registers beginning at 48h
and going through 56h. Each of these registers is divided into
bits that control the number of clock cycles that the divider
output stays high (high_cycles <3:0>) and the number of clock
cycles that the divider output stays low (low_cycles <7:4>). Each
value is 4 bits and has the range of 0 to 15.
Example 2:
Set Divide Ratio = 8
high_cycles = 3
low_cycles = 3
Divide Ratio = (3 + 1) + (3 + 1) = 8
Note that a Divide Ratio of 8 may also be obtained by setting:
The divide ratio is set by
Divide Ratio = (high_cycles + 1) + (low_cycles + 1)
Although the second set of settings produces the same divide
ratio, the resulting duty cycle is not the same.
Setting the Duty Cycle
The duty cycle and the divide ratio are related. Different
divide ratios have different duty cycle options. For example, if
Divide Ratio = 2, the only duty cycle possible is 50%. If the
Divide Ratio = 4, the duty cycle may be 25%, 50%, or 75%.

Divider Phase Offset
The phase of each output may be selected, depending
on the divide ratio chosen. This is selected by writing the
appropriate values to the registers which set the phase and
start high/low bit for each output. These are the odd numbered
registers from 49h to 57h. Each divider has a 4-bit phase offset
<3:0> and a start high or low bit <4>.
Following a sync pulse, the phase offset word determines how
many fast clock (CLK1 or CLK2) cycles to wait before initiating
a clock output edge. The Start H/L bit determines if the divider
output starts low or high. By giving each divider a different
phase offset, output-to-output delays can be set in increments of
the fast clock period, t
Figure 39 shows four dividers, each set for DIV = 4, 50% duty
cycle. By incrementing the phase offset from 0 to 3, each output
is offset from the initial edge by a multiple of t

This path adds some jitter greater than that specified for the
nondelay outputs. This means that the delay function should be
used primarily for clocking digital chips, such as FPGA, ASIC,
DUC, and DDC, rather than for data converters. The jitter is
higher for long full scales (~10 ns). This is because the delay
block uses a ramp and trip points to create the variable delay. A
longer ramp means more noise might be introduced.
Calculating the Delay
The following values and equations are used to calculate the
delay of the delay block.

The amount of delay that can be used is determined by the
frequency of the clock being delayed. The amount of delay can
approach one-half cycle of the clock period. For example, for a
10 MHz clock, the delay can extend to the full 10 ns maximum
of which the delay element is capable. However, for a 100 MHz
clock (with 50% duty cycle), the maximum delay is less than
5 ns (or half of the period).

The AD9510 offers three different output level choices:
LVPECL, LVDS, and CMOS. OUT0 to OUT3 are LVPECL only.
OUT4 to OUT7 can be selected as either LVDS or CMOS. Each
output can be enabled or turned off as needed to save power.
The simplified equivalent circuit of the LVPECL outputs is
shown in
Figure 41.

OUT5 and OUT6 allow a full-scale delay in the range 1 ns to
10 ns. The full-scale delay is selected by choosing a combination
of ramp current and the number of capacitors by writing the
appropriate values into Register 35h and Register 39h. There are
32 fine delay settings for each full scale, set by Register 36h and
Register 3Ah.
The PDB chip power-down turns off most of the functions
and currents in the AD9510. When the PDB mode is enabled, a
chip power-down is activated by taking the FUNCTION pin to
a logic low level. The chip remains in this power-down state
until PDB is brought back to logic high. When woken up, the
AD9510 returns to the settings programmed into its registers
prior to the power-down, unless the registers are changed by
new programming while the PDB mode is active.
The PDB power-down mode shuts down the currents on the
chip, except the bias current necessary to maintain the LVPECL
outputs in a safe shutdown mode. This is needed to protect the
LVPECL output circuitry from damage that could be caused by
certain termination and load configurations when tri-stated.
Because this is not a complete power-down, it can be called
sleep mode.
When the AD9510 is in a PDB power-down or sleep mode, the
chip is in the following state:
•The PLL is off (asynchronous power-down).
05046-038
Table 19. Register 0Ah: PLL Power-Down
<1> <0> Mode
0 0 Normal Operation
0 1 Asynchronous Power-Down
1 0 Normal Operation
1 1 Synchronous Power-Down
In asynchronous power-down mode, the device powers down as
soon as the registers are updated.
In synchronous power-down mode, the PLL power-down is
gated by the charge pump to prevent unwanted frequency
jumps. The device goes into power-down on the occurrence of
the next charge pump event after the registers are updated.
Distribution Power-Down
The distribution section can be powered down by writing to
Register 58h<3> = 1. This turns off the bias to the distribution
section. If the LVPECL power-down mode is normal operation
<00>, it is possible for a low impedance load on that LVPECL
output to draw significant current during this power-down. If
the LVPECL power-down mode is set to <11>, the LVPECL
output is not protected from reverse bias and can be damaged
under certain termination conditions.
When combined with the PLL power-down, this mode results in
the lowest possible power-down current for the AD9510.
Individual Clock Output Power-Down
Any of the eight clock distribution outputs may be powered
down individually by writing to the appropriate registers via the
SCP. The register map details the individual power-down
settings for each output. The LVDS/CMOS outputs may be
powered down, regardless of their output load configuration.
• All clocks and sync circuits are off.
• All dividers are off.
• All LVDS/CMOS outputs are off.
• All LVPECL outputs are in safe off mode.
• The serial control port is active, and the chip responds to
commands.
If the AD9510 clock outputs must be synchronized to each
other, a SYNC (see the
Single-Chip Synchronization section) is
required upon exiting power-down mode.
PLL Power-Down
The PLL section of the AD9510 can be selectively powered
down. There are three PLL power-down modes, set by the
values in Register 0Ah<1:0>, as shown in
Table 19.
The LVPECL outputs have multiple power-down modes (see
Register Address 3C, Register Address 3D, Register Address 3E,
and Register Address 3F in
flexibility in dealing with various output termination
conditions. When the mode is set to <10>, the LVPECL output
is protected from reverse bias to 2 VBE + 1 V. If the mode is set
to <11>, the LVPECL output is not protected from reverse bias
and can be damaged under certain termination conditions. This
setting also affects the operation when the distribution block is
powered down with Register 58h<3> = 1b (see the
Power-Down section).
Individual Circuit Block Power-Down
Many of the AD9510 circuit blocks (CLK1, CLK2, REFIN, and
so on) can be powered down individually. This gives flexibility
in configuring the part for power savings whenever certain chip
functions are not needed.

RESET MODES
The AD9510 has several ways to force the chip into a reset
condition.
Power-On Reset—Start-Up Conditions when VS is
Applied
A power-on reset (POR) is issued when the VS power supply is
turned on. This initializes the chip to the power-on conditions
that are determined by the default register settings. These are
indicated in the default value column of
Tabl e 23 .
Asynchronous Reset via the FUNCTION Pin
As mentioned in the FUNCTION Pin section, a hard reset,
RESETB: 58h<6:5> = 00b (Default), restores the chip to the
default settings.
Soft Reset via the Serial Port
The serial control port allows a soft reset by writing to
Register 00h<5> = 1b. When this bit is set, the chip executes
a soft reset. This restores the default values to the internal
registers, except for Register 00h itself.
This bit is not self-clearing. The bit must be written to
00h<5> = 0b in order for the operation of the part to continue.
SINGLE-CHIP SYNCHRONIZATION
SYNCB—Hardware SYNC
The AD9510 clocks can be synchronized to each other at any
time. The outputs of the clocks are forced into a known state
with respect to each other and then allowed to continue
clocking from that state in synchronicity. Before a
synchronization is done, the
act as the
SYNCB: 58h<6:5> = 01b input (58h<6:5> = 01b).
FUNCTION Pin must be set to
Synchronization is done by forcing the FUNCTION pin low,
creating a SYNCB signal and then releasing it.
See the
SYNCB: 58h<6:5> = 01b section for a more detailed
description of what happens when the
SYNCB: 58h<6:5> = 01b
signal is issued.
Soft SYNC—Register 58h<2>
A soft SYNC may be issued by means of a bit in Registers 58h<2>.
This soft SYNC works the same as the SYNCB, except that the
polarity is reversed. A 1 written to this bit forces the clock
outputs into a known state with respect to each other. When a 0
is subsequently written to this bit, the clock outputs continue
clocking from that state in synchronicity.
MULTICHIP SYNCHRONIZATION
The AD9510 provides a means of synchronizing two or more
AD9510s. This is not an active synchronization; it requires user
monitoring and action. The arrangement of two AD9510s to be
synchronized is shown in
Figure 43.
Synchronization of two or more AD9510s requires a fast clock
and a slow clock. The fast clock can be up to 1 GHz and may be
the clock driving the master AD9510 CLK1 input or one of the
outputs of the master. The fast clock acts as the input to the
distribution section of the slave AD9510 and is connected to its
CLK1 input. The PLL may be used on the master, but the slave
PLL is not used.
The slow clock is the clock that is synchronized across the two
chips. This clock must be no faster than one-fourth of the fast
clock, and no greater than 250 MHz. The slow clock is taken
from one of the outputs of the master AD9510 and acts as the
REFIN (or CLK2) input to the slave AD9510. One of the
outputs of the slave must provide this same frequency back to
the CLK2 (or REFIN) input of the slave.
Multichip synchronization is enabled by writing
Register 58h<0> = 1 on the slave AD9510. When this bit is set,
the STATUS pin becomes the output for the SYNC signal. A low
signal indicates an in-sync condition, and a high indicates an
out-of-sync condition.
Register 58h<1> selects the number of fast clock cycles that are
the maximum separation of the slow clock edges that are
considered synchronized. When 58h<1> = 0 (default), the slow
clock edges must be coincident within 1 to 1.5 high speed clock
cycles. If the coincidence of the slow clock edges is closer than
this amount, the SYNC flag stays low. If the coincidence of the
slow clock edges is greater than this amount, the SYNC flag is
set high. When Register 58h<1> = 1b, the amount of
coincidence required is 0.5 fast clock cycles to 1 fast clock
cycles.
Whenever the SYNC flag is set (high) indicating an out-of-sync
condition, a SYNCB signal applied simultaneously at the
FUNCTION pins of both AD9510s brings the slow clocks into
synchronization.

AD9510
SERIAL CONTROL PORT
The AD9510 serial control port is a flexible, synchronous, serial
communications port that allows an easy interface with many
industry-standard microcontrollers and microprocessors. The
AD9510 serial control port is compatible with most
synchronous transfer formats, including both the Motorola SPI®
and Intel® SSR® protocols. The serial control port allows
read/write access to all registers that configure the AD9510.
Single or multiple byte transfers are supported, as well as MSB
first or LSB first transfer formats. The AD9510 serial control
port can be configured for a single bidirectional I/O pin (SDIO
only) or for two unidirectional I/O pins (SDIO/SDO).
SERIAL CONTROL PORT PIN DESCRIPTIONS
SCLK (serial clock) is the serial shift clock. This pin is an input.
SCLK is used to synchronize serial control port reads and
writes. Write data bits are registered on the rising edge of this
clock, and read data bits are registered on the falling edge. This
pin is internally pulled down by a 30 kΩ resistor to ground.
SDIO (serial data input/output) is a dual-purpose pin and acts
as either an input only or as both an input/output. The AD9510
defaults to two unidirectional pins for I/O, with SDIO used as
an input, and SDO as an output. Alternatively, SDIO can be
used as a bidirectional I/O pin by writing to the SDO enable
register at 00h<7> = 1b.
SDO (serial data out) is used only in the unidirectional I/O
mode (00h<7> = 0, default) as a separate output pin for reading
back data. The AD9510 defaults to this I/O mode. Bidirectional
I/O mode (using SDIO as both input and output) may be
enabled by writing to the SDO enable register at 00h<7> = 1.
CSB (chip select bar) is an active low control that gates the read
and write cycles. When CSB is high, SDO and SDIO are in a
high impedance state. This pin is internally pulled down by a
30 kΩ resistor to ground. It should not be left NC or tied low.

GENERAL OPERATION OF SERIAL CONTROL PORT
Framing a Communication Cycle with CSB
Each communications cycle (a write or a read operation) is
gated by the CSB line. CSB must be brought low to initiate a
communication cycle. CSB must be brought high at the
completion of a communication cycle (see
not brought high at the end of each write or read cycle (on a
byte boundary), the last byte is not loaded into the register
buffer.
AD9510

CONTROL
PORT

Figure 52). If CSB is
CSB stall high is supported in modes where three or fewer bytes
of data (plus instruction data) are transferred (W1:W0 must be
set to 00, 01, or 10, see
Table 20). In these modes, CSB can
temporarily return high on any byte boundary, allowing time
for the system controller to process the next byte. CSB can go
high on byte boundaries only and can go high during either
part (instruction or data) of the transfer. During this period, the
serial control port state machine enters a wait state until all data
has been sent. If the system controller decides to abort the
transfer before all of the data is sent, the state machine must be
reset by either completing the remaining transfer or by
returning the CSB low for at least one complete SCLK cycle (but
less than eight SCLK cycles). Raising the CSB on a nonbyte
boundary terminates the serial transfer and flushes the buffer.
In the streaming mode (W1:W0 = 11b), any number of data
bytes can be transferred in a continuous stream. The register
address is automatically incremented or decremented (see the
MSB/LSB First Transfers section). CSB must be raised at the
end of the last byte to be transferred, thereby ending the stream
mode.
Communication Cycle—Instruction Plus Data
There are two parts to a communication cycle with the AD9510.
The first writes a 16-bit instruction word into the AD9510,
coincident with the first 16 SCLK rising edges. The instruction
word provides the AD9510 serial control port with information
regarding the data transfer, which is the second part of the
communication cycle. The instruction word defines whether
the upcoming data transfer is a read or a write, the number of
bytes in the data transfer, and the starting register address for
the first byte of the data transfer.
Write
If the instruction word is for a write operation (I15 = 0b), the
second part is the transfer of data into the serial control port
buffer of the AD9510. The length of the transfer (1, 2, 3 bytes,
or streaming mode) is indicated by 2 bits (W1:W0) in the
instruction byte. CSB can be raised after each sequence of 8 bits
to stall the bus (except after the last byte, where it ends the
cycle). When the bus is stalled, the serial transfer resumes when
CSB is lowered. Stalling on nonbyte boundaries resets the serial
control port.
Since data is written into a serial control port buffer area, not
directly into the AD9510’s actual control registers, an additional
operation is needed to transfer the serial control port buffer
contents to the actual control registers of the AD9510, thereby
causing them to take effect. This update command consists of
writing to Register 5Ah<0> = 1b. This update bit is self-clearing
(it is not required to write 0 to it in order to clear it). Since any
number of bytes of data can be changed before issuing an

SCLK
update command, the update simultaneously enables all register
changes since any previous update.
Phase offsets or divider synchronization will not become
effective until a SYNC is issued (see the
Single-Chip
Synchronization section).
Read
If the instruction word is for a read operation (I15 = 1b), the
next N × 8 SCLK cycles clock out the data from the address
specified in the instruction word, where N is 1 to 4 as
determined by W1:W0. The readback data is valid on the falling
edge of SCLK.
The default mode of the AD9510 serial control port is
unidirectional mode; therefore, the requested data appears on
the SDO pin. It is possible to set the AD9510 to bidirectional
mode by writing the SDO enable register at 00h<7> = 1b. In
bidirectional mode, the readback data appears on the SDIO pin.
A readback request reads the data that is in the serial control
port buffer area, not the active data in the AD9510’s actual
control registers.

A12:A0: These 13 bits select the address within the register map
that is written to or read from during the data transfer portion
of the communications cycle. The AD9510 does not use all of
the 13-bit address space. Only Bits A6:A0 are needed to cover
the range of the 5Ah registers used by the AD9510. Bits A12:A7
must always be 0b. For multibyte transfers, this address is the
starting byte address. In MSB first mode, subsequent bytes
increment the address.
MSB/LSB FIRST TRANSFERS
The AD9510 instruction word and byte data may be MSB first
or LSB first. The default for the AD9510 is MSB first. The LSB
first mode may be set by writing 1b to Register 00h<6>. This
takes effect immediately (since it only affects the operation of
the serial control port) and does not require that an update be
executed. Immediately after the LSB first bit is set, all serial
control port operations are changed to LSB first order.

The AD9510 uses Addresses 00h to 5Ah. Although the AD9510
serial control port allows both 8-bit and 16-bit instructions, the
8-bit instruction mode provides access to five address bits (A4
to A0) only, which restricts its use to the address space 00h to
01F. The AD9510 defaults to 16-bit instruction mode on powerup. The 8-bit instruction mode (although defined for this serial
control port) is not useful for the AD9510; therefore, it is not
discussed further in this data sheet.
THE INSTRUCTION WORD (16 BITS)
The MSB of the instruction word is R/W, which indicates
whether the instruction is a read or a write. The next two bits,
W1:W0, indicate the length of the transfer in bytes. The final 13
bits are the address (A12:A0) at which to begin the read or write
operation.
For a write, the instruction word is followed by the number of
bytes of data indicated by Bits W1:W0, which is interpreted
according to
Table 20.
When MSB first mode is active, the instruction and data bytes
must be written from MSB to LSB. Multibyte data transfers in
MSB first format start with an instruction byte that includes the
register address of the most significant data byte. Subsequent
data bytes must follow in order from high address to low
address. In MSB first mode, the serial control port internal
address generator decrements for each data byte of the
multibyte transfer cycle.
When LSB_First = 1b (LSB first), the instruction and data bytes
must be written from LSB to MSB. Multibyte data transfers in
LSB first format start with an instruction byte that includes the
register address of the least significant data byte followed by
multiple data bytes. The serial control port internal byte address
generator increments for each byte of the multibyte transfer
cycle.
The AD9510 serial control port register address decrements
from the register address just written toward 0000h for
multibyte I/O operations if the MSB first mode is active
(default). If the LSB first mode is active, the serial control port
register address increments from the address just written
toward 1FFFh for multibyte I/O operations.
Unused addresses are not skipped during multibyte I/O
operations; therefore, it is important to avoid multibyte I/O
operations that would include these addresses.

When this bit is set (1), the instruction phase is 16 bits. When clear (0), the instruction phase is 8 bits.
The default, and only, mode for this part is long instruction (Default = 1b).
When this bit is set (1), the chip executes a soft reset, restoring default values to the internal registers,
except for this register, 00h. This bit is not self-clearing. A clear (0) has to be written to it in order
to clear it.
When this bit is set (1), the input and output data is oriented as LSB first. Additionally, register addressing
increments. If this bit is clear (0), data is oriented as MSB first and register addressing decrements.
(Default = 0b, MSB first.)
When set (1), the SDO pin is tri-state and all read data goes to the SDIO pin. When clear (0), the SDO is
active (unidirectional mode). (Default = 0b.)

POWER SUPPLY
The AD9510 requires a 3.3 V ± 5% power supply for VS.
The tables in the
expected from the AD9510 with the power supply voltage
within this range. The absolute maximum range of −0.3 V −
+3.6 V, with respect to GND, must never be exceeded on
the VS pin.
Good engineering practice should be followed in the layout of
power supply traces and the ground plane of the PCB. The
power supply should be bypassed on the PCB with adequate
capacitance (>10 μF). The AD9510 should be bypassed with
adequate capacitors (0.1 μF) at all power pins as close as
possible to the part. The layout of the AD9510 evaluation board
(AD9510/PCB or AD9510-VCO/PCB) is a good example.
The AD9510 is a complex part that is programmed for its
desired operating configuration by on-chip registers. These
registers are not maintained over a shutdown of external power.
This means that the registers can loose their programmed
values if V
collapse. Careful bypassing should protect the part from
memory loss under normal conditions. Nonetheless, it is
important that the V
or the AD9510 risks losing its programming.
The internal bias currents of the AD9510 are set by the R
resistors. These resistors should be as close as possible to

The exposed metal paddle on the AD9510 package is an
electrical connection, as well as a thermal enhancement. For
the device to function properly, the paddle must be properly
attached to ground (GND). The PCB acts as a heat sink for the
AD9510; therefore, this GND connection should provide a
good thermal path to a larger dissipation area, such as a ground
plane on the PCB. See the layout of the AD9510 evaluation
board (AD9510/PCB or AD9510-VCO/PCB) for a good
example.
POWER MANAGEMENT
The power usage of the AD9510 can be managed to use only the
power required for the functions that are being used. Unused
features and circuitry can be powered down to save power. The
following circuit blocks can be powered down, or are powered
down when not selected (see the
section):
• The PLL section can be powered down if not needed.
• Any of the dividers are powered down when bypassed—
equivalent to divide-by-one.
• The adjustable delay blocks on OUT5 and OUT6 are powered
down when not selected.
• Any output may be powered down. However, LVPECL
outputs have both a safe and an off condition. When the
LVPECL output is terminated, only the safe shutdown should
be used to protect the LVPECL output devices. This still
consumes some power.
• The entire distribution section can be powered down when
not needed.
Powering down a functional block does not cause the
programming information for that block (in the registers)
to be lost. This means that blocks can be powered on and off
without otherwise having to reprogram the AD9510. However,
synchronization is lost. A SYNC must be issued to
resynchronize (see the
Single-Chip Synchronization section).

APPLICATIONS
USING THE AD9510 OUTPUTS FOR ADC CLOCK
APPLICATIONS
Any high speed analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is extremely
sensitive to the quality of the sampling clock provided by the
user. An ADC can be thought of as a sampling mixer; any noise,
distortion, or timing jitter on the clock is combined with the
desired signal at the A/D output. Clock integrity requirements
scale with the analog input frequency and resolution, with
higher analog input frequency applications at ≥ 14-bit
resolution being the most stringent. The theoretical SNR of an
ADC is limited by the ADC resolution and the jitter on the
sampling clock. Considering an ideal ADC of infinite resolution
where the step size and quantization error can be ignored, the
available SNR can be expressed approximately by

See Application Notes AN-756 and AN-501 on the ADI website

Many high performance ADCs feature differential clock inputs
to simplify the task of providing the required low jitter clock on
a noisy PCB. (Distributing a single-ended clock on a noisy PCB
can result in coupled noise on the sample clock. Differential
distribution has inherent common-mode rejection, which can
provide superior clock performance in a noisy environment.)
The AD9510 features both LVPECL and LVDS outputs that
provide differential clock outputs, which enable clock solutions
that maximize converter SNR performance. The input

level, termination) should be considered when selecting the best
clocking/converter solution.
CMOS CLOCK DISTRIBUTION
The AD9510 provides four clock outputs (OUT4 to OUT7),
which are selectable as either CMOS or LVDS levels. When
selected as CMOS, these outputs provide for driving devices
requiring CMOS level logic at their clock inputs.
Whenever single-ended CMOS clocking is used, some of the
following general guidelines should be followed.
Point-to-point nets should be designed such that a driver has
one receiver only on the net, if possible. This allows for simple
termination schemes and minimizes ringing due to possible
mismatched impedances on the net. Series termination at the
source is generally required to provide transmission line
matching and/or to reduce current transients at the driver. The
value of the resistor is dependent on the board design and
timing requirements (typically 10 Ω to 100 Ω is used). CMOS
outputs are limited in terms of the capacitive load or trace
length that they can drive. Typically, trace lengths less than
3 inches are recommended to preserve signal rise/fall times and
preserve signal integrity.

Termination at the far end of the PCB trace is a second option.
The CMOS outputs of the AD9510 do not supply enough
current to provide a full voltage swing with a low impedance
resistive, far-end termination, as shown in
far-end termination network should match the PCB trace
impedance and provide the desired switching point. The
reduced signal swing may still meet receiver input requirements
in some applications. This can be useful when driving long
trace lengths on less critical nets.

AD9510
Because of the limitations of single-ended CMOS clocking,
consider using differential outputs when driving high speed
signals over long traces. The AD9510 offers both LVPECL and
LVDS outputs, which are better suited for driving long traces
where the inherent noise immunity of differential signaling
provides superior performance for clocking converters.
LVPECL CLOCK DISTRIBUTION
The low voltage, positive emitter-coupled, logic (LVPECL)
outputs of the AD9510 provide the lowest jitter clock signals
available from the AD9510. The LVPECL outputs (because they
are open emitter) require a dc termination to bias the output
transistors. A simplified equivalent circuit in
the LVPECL output stage.
In most applications, a standard LVPECL far-end termination is
recommended, as shown in
Figure 56. The resistor network is
designed to match the transmission line impedance (50 Ω) and
the desired switching threshold (1.3 V).

LVDS CLOCK DISTRIBUTION
Low voltage differential signaling (LVDS) is a second
differential output option for the AD9510. LVDS uses a current
mode output stage with several user-selectable current levels.
The normal value (default) for this current is 3.5 mA, which
yields 350 mV output swing across a 100 Ω resistor. The LVDS
outputs meet or exceed all ANSI/TIA/EIA-644 specifications.
A recommended termination circuit for the LVDS outputs is
shown in
Figure 58.

POWER AND GROUNDING CONSIDERATIONS AND
POWER SUPPLY REJECTION
Many applications seek high speed and performance under
less than ideal operating conditions. In these application
circuits, the implementation and construction of the PCB is as
important as the circuit design. Proper RF techniques must be
used for device selection, placement, and routing, as well as for
power supply bypassing and grounding to ensure optimum
performance.
