GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9512 provides a multi-output clock distribution in a
design that emphasizes low jitter and low phase noise to
maximize data converter performance. Other applications with
demanding phase noise and jitter requirements can also benefit
from this part.
There are five independent clock outputs. Three outputs are
LVPECL (1.2 GHz), and two are selectable as either LVDS
(800 MHz) or CMOS (250 MHz) levels.
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.
One of the LVDS/CMOS outputs features a programmable
delay element with a range of up to 10 ns of delay. This fine
tuning delay block has 5-bit resolution, giving 32 possible delays
from which to choose.
The AD9512 is ideally suited for data converter clocking
applications where maximum converter performance is
achieved by encode signals with subpicosecond jitter.
The AD9512 is available in a 48-lead LFCSP and can be
operated from a single 3.3 V supply. 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 degrees 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.
Additive Time Jitter
It is the amount of time jitter that is attributable to the device
or subsystem being measured. The time jitter of any external
oscillators or clock sources has been subtracted. This makes it
possible to predict the degree to which the device will impact
the total system time jitter when used in conjunction with the
various oscillators and clock sources, each of which contribute
their own time jitter to the total. In many cases, the time jitter of
the external oscillators and clock sources dominates the system
time jitter.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
OVERALL
Figure 23 shows a block diagram of the AD9512. The AD9512
accepts inputs on either of two clock inputs (CLK1 or CLK2).
This clock 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 three LVPECL outputs (OUT0, OUT1, OUT2) and
two outputs that can be either LVDS or CMOS level outputs
(OUT3, OUT4). OUT4 can also make use of a variable
delay block.
The AD9512 provides clock distribution function only; there is
no clock clean-up. The jitter of the input clock signal is passed
along directly to the distribution section and can dominate at
the clock outputs.

FUNCTION PIN
The FUNCTION pin (Pin 12) has three functions that are
selected by the value in Register 58h<6:5>. There is an internal
30 kΩ pull-down resistor on this pin.
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. The AD9512 immediately resumes
operation according to the default values. When the pin is taken
high again, an asynchronous sync is issued (see the
58h<6:5> = 01b
section).
STAGE
05287-016
SYNCB:
SYNCB: 58h<6:5> = 01b
The FUNCTION pin can 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 = 0)
• are not bypassed (bypass = 0)
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 can also be programmed to work as an
asynchronous full power-down, PDB. Even in this full powerdown mode, there is still some residual V
current because
S
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.
Chip Power-Down or Sleep Mode—PDB section for more
See the
details on what occurs during a PDB initiated power-down.
DSYNC AND DSYNCB PINS
The DSYNC and DSYNCB pins (Pin 1 and Pin 2) are used
when the AD9512 is used in a multichip synchronized
configuration (see the
Multichip Synchronization section).
CLOCK INPUTS
Two clock inputs (CLK1, CLK2) are available for use on the
AD9512. CLK1 and CLK2 can accept inputs up to 1600 MHz.
Figure 24 for the CLK1 and CLK2 equivalent input circuit.
See
The clock 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 (either CLK1 or CLK2) should be
powered down to eliminate any possibility of unwanted
crosstalk between the selected clock input and the unselected
clock input.
Rev. A | Page 24 of 48
AD9512
DIVIDERS
Each of the five clock outputs of the AD9512 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.
Example 2:
Set Divide Ratio = 8
high_cycles = 3
low_cycles = 3
Divide Ratio = (3 + 1) + (3 + 1) = 8
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.
Setting the Divide Ratio
The divide ratio is determined by the values written via the SCP
to the registers that control each individual output, OUT0 to
OUT4. These are the even numbered registers beginning at 4Ah
and going through 52h. Each of these registers is divided into
bits that control the number of clock cycles the divider output
stays high (high_cycles <3:0>) and the number of clock cycles
the divider output stays low (low_cycles <7:4>). Each value is 4
bits and has the range of 0 to 15.
The divide ratio is set by
Divide Ratio = (high_cycles + 1) + (low_cycles + 1)
Example 1:
Set the Divide Ratio = 2
high_cycles = 0
low_cycles = 0
Divide Ratio = (0 + 1) + (0 + 1) = 2
Note that a Divide Ratio of 8 may also be obtained by setting:
high_cycles = 2
low_cycles = 4
Divide Ratio = (2 + 1) + (4 + 1) = 8
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 can 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
4Bh to 53h. 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
CLK
.
Figure 25 shows three dividers, each set for DIV = 4, 50% duty
cycle. By incrementing the phase offset from 0 to 2, each output
is offset from the initial edge by a multiple of t

The three outputs may also be described as:

Setting the phase offset to Phase = 4 results in the same relative
phase as the first channel, Phase = 0° or 360°.
05287-091
In general, by combining the 4-bit phase offset and the Start
H/L bit, there are 32 possible phase offset states (see Tab le 1 3 ).
Phase offsets may be related to degrees by calculating the phase
step for a particular divide ratio:
Phase Step = 360°/(Divide Ratio) = 360°/DIV

DIV = 4
Phase Step = 360°/4 = 90°

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.

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).
OUT4 allows 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. There are 32 fine delay settings for
each full scale, set by Register 36h.

The AD9512 offers three different output level choices:
LVPECL, LVDS, and CMOS . O U T 0 to O U T 2 are LV P E C L o n l y.
OUT3 and OUT4 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 27.
the LVPECL power-down mode is set to <11b>, the LVPECL
output is not protected from reverse bias and can be damaged
under certain termination conditions.
The PDB chip power-down turns off most of the functions and
currents in the AD9512. 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
AD9512 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 AD9512 is in a PDB power-down or sleep mode, the
chip is in the following state:
• 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 AD9512 clock outputs must be synchronized to each
other, a SYNC (see the Single-Chip Synchronization section) is
required when exiting power-down mode.
Distribution Power-Down
The distribution section can be powered down by writing 1 to
Register 58h<3>. 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
Individual Clock Output Power-Down
Any of the five 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.
The LVPECL outputs have multiple power-down modes
(see Register 3Dh, Register 3Eh, and Register 3Fh in Tab le 18 ).
These give some flexibility in dealing with various output
termination conditions. When the mode is set to <10b>, the
LVPECL output is protected from reverse bias to 2 V
+ 1 V. If
BE
the mode is set to <11b>, 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 Distribution Power-Down section).
Individual Circuit Block Power-Down
Several of the AD9512 circuit blocks (such as CLK1 and CLK2)
can be powered down individually. This gives flexibility in
configuring the part for power savings when all chip
functionality is not needed.
RESET MODES
The AD9512 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 17 .
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 for the operation of the part to continue.

AD9512
SINGLE-CHIP SYNCHRONIZATION
SYNCB—Hardware SYNC
The AD9512 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 FUNCTION Pin must be set as the
input (58h<6:5> = 01b). 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 can be issued by means of a bit in
Register 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.
slave must provide this same frequency back to the DSYNCB
input of the slave.
Multichip synchronization is enabled by writing to
Register 58h<0> = 1b on the slave AD9512. 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> = 0b (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 AD9512s brings the slow clocks into
synchronization.
MULTICHIP SYNCHRONIZATION
The AD9512 provides a means of synchronizing two or more
AD9512s. This is not an active synchronization; it requires user
monitoring and action. The arrangement of two AD9512s to be
synchronized is shown in Figure 29.
Synchronization of two or more AD9512s requires a fast clock
and a slow clock. The fast clock can be up to 1 GHz and can be
the clock driving the master AD9512 CLK1 input or one of the
outputs of the master. The fast clock acts as the input to the
distribution section of the slave AD9512 and is connected to its
CLK1 input.
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 AD9512 and acts as a
DSYNC input to the slave AD9512. One of the outputs of the

AD9512
SERIAL CONTROL PORT
The AD9512 serial control port is a flexible, synchronous, serial
communications port that allows an easy interface with many
industry-standard microcontrollers and microprocessors. The
AD9512 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 AD9512.
Single or multiple byte transfers are supported, as well as MSB
first or LSB first transfer formats. The AD9512 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 AD9512
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> = 0b, default) as a separate output pin for
reading back data. The AD9512 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> = 1b.
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.
See the Framing a Communication Cycle with CSB section on
the use of the CSB in a communication cycle.

GENERAL OPERATION OF SERIAL CONTROL PORT
Framing a Communication Cycle with CSB
Each communication 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 Figure 38). If CSB is
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.
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 Tabl e
14 ). 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 AD9512.
The first writes a 16-bit instruction word into the AD9512,
coincident with the first 16 SCLK rising edges. The instruction
word provides the AD9512 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 AD9512. The length of the transfer (1, 2, 3 bytes,
or streaming mode) is indicated by two bits (W1:W0) in the
instruction byte. CSB can be raised after each sequence of eight
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 AD9512’s actual control registers, an additional
operation is needed to transfer the serial control port buffer
contents to the actual control registers of the AD9512, thereby
causing them to take effect. This update command consists of
Rev. A | Page 33 of 48
AD9512
SCLK
writing to Register 5Ah<0> = 1b. This update bit is self-clearing
(it is not required to write 0 to it to clear it). Since any number
of bytes of data can be changed before issuing an 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
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 AD9512 serial control port is
unidirectional mode; therefore, the requested data appears on
the SDO pin. It is possible to set the AD9512 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 AD9512’s actual
control registers.

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 Tab le

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 AD9512 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 AD9512. 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 AD9512 instruction word and byte data may be MSB first
or LSB first. The default for the AD9512 is MSB first. The LSB
first mode may be set by writing 1b to Register 00h<6>. This
takes effect immediately (because 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 AD9512 uses Address 00h to Address 5Ah. Although the
AD9512 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 AD9512 defaults to 16-bit
instruction mode on power-up. The 8-bit instruction mode
(although defined for this serial control port) is not useful for
the AD9512; 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 addresses (A12:A0) at which to begin the read or
write operation.
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 AD9512 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).

AD9512
POWER SUPPLY
The AD9512 requires a 3.3 V ± 5% power supply for VS.
The tables in the
Specifications section give the performance
expected from the AD9512 with the power supply voltage
within this range. The absolute maximum range of −0.3 V to
+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 ground plane of the PCB. The power
supply should be bypassed on the PCB with adequate
capacitance (>10 F). The AD9512 should be bypassed with
adequate capacitors (0.1 F) at all power pins, as close as
possible to the part. The layout of the AD9512 evaluation board
(AD9512/PCB) is a good example.
The AD9512 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 lose their programmed values
if V
is lost long enough for the internal voltages to collapse.
S
Careful bypassing should protect the part from memory loss
under normal conditions. Nonetheless, it is important that the
V
power supply not become intermittent, or the AD9512 risks
S
losing its programming.
The internal bias currents of the AD9512 are set by the R
SET
resistors. This resistor should be as close as possible to the value
given as conditions in the
(R
= 4.12 kΩ). This is a standard 1% resistor value and should
SET
Specifications section
be readily obtainable. The bias currents set by this resistor
determine the logic levels and operating conditions of the
internal blocks of the AD9512. The performance figures given
in the
Specifications section assume that this specific resistor
value is used.
POWER MANAGEMENT
The power usage of the AD9512 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):
•Any of the dividers are powered down when bypassed—
equivalent to divide-by-one.
•The adjustable delay block on OUT4 is powered down
when not selected.
•Any output can 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 AD9512. However,
synchronization is lost. A SYNC must be issued to
resynchronize (see the
Single-Chip Synchronization section).
Register Map and Description
The exposed metal paddle on the AD9512 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
AD9512; 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 AD9512 evaluation
board (AD9512/PCB or AD9512-VCO/PCB) for a good
example.

APPLICATIONS
USING THE AD9512 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

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 AD9512 features both LVPECL and LVDS outputs that
provide differential clock outputs, which enable clock solutions
that maximize converter SNR performance. The input

clocking/converter solution.
CMOS CLOCK DISTRIBUTION
The AD9512 provides two clock outputs (OUT3 and OUT4),
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 AD9512 do not supply enough
current to provide a full voltage swing with a low impedance
resistive, far-end termination, as shown in
end termination network should match the PCB trace
impedance and provide the desired switching point. The
reduced signal swing can still meet receiver input requirements
in some applications. This can be useful when driving long
trace lengths on less critical nets.

AD9512
Because of the limitations of single-ended CMOS clocking,
consider using differential outputs when driving high speed
signals over long traces. The AD9512 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 AD9512 provide the lowest jitter clock signals
available from the AD9512. 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 42. 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 AD9512. 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
See Application Note AN-586 on the ADI website at
