GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9513 features a three-output clock distribution IC in a
design that 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.
There are three independent clock outputs that can be set to
either LVDS or CMOS levels. These outputs operate to
800 MHz in LVDS mode and to 250 MHz in CMOS mode.
Each output has a programmable divider that can be set to
divide by a selected set of integers ranging from 1 to 32. The
phase of one clock output relative to the other clock output can
be set by means of a divider phase select function that serves as
a coarse timing adjustment.
One of the outputs features a delay element with three selectable
full-scale delay values (1.8 ns, 6.0 ns, and 11.6 ns), each with
16 steps of fine adjustment.
The AD9513 does not require an external controller for
operation or setup. The device is programmed by means of
11 pins (S0 to S10) using 4-level logic. The programming pins
are internally biased to ⅓ V
⅔ V
. VS (3.3 V) and GND (0 V) provide the other two logic levels.
S
. The VREF pin provides a level of
S
The AD9513 is ideally suited for data converter clocking
applications where maximum converter performance is
achieved by encode signals with subpicosecond jitter.
The AD9513 is available in a 32-lead LFCSP and operates 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 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 there are many
causes that can contribute to phase jitter, one major component
is due to random noise that 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 also 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. For 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 as 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 affect 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.

The AD9513 provides for the distribution of its input clock on
up to three outputs. Each output can be set to either LVDS or
CMOS logic levels. Each output has its own divider that can be
set for a divide ratio selected from a list of integer values from
1 (bypassed) to 32.
OUT2 includes an analog delay block that can be set to add an
additional delay of 1.8 ns, 6.0 ns, or 11.6 ns full scale, each with
16 levels of fine adjustment.
CLK, CLKB—DIFFERENTIAL CLOCK INPUT
The CLK and CLKB pins are differential clock input pins.
This input works up to 1600 MHz. The jitter performance is
degraded by a slew rate below 1 V/ns. The input level should be
between approximately 150 mV p-p to no more than 2 V p-p.
Anything greater can result in turning on the protection diodes
on the input pins.

this can be accommodated by ac coupling to one side of the

If the setup configuration of the AD9513 is changed during
operation, the outputs can become unsynchronized. The
outputs can be resynchronized to each other at any time.
Synchronization occurs when the SYNCB pin is pulled low and
released. The clock outputs (except where divide = 1) are forced
into a fixed state (determined by the divide and phase settings)
and held there in a static condition, until the SYNCB pin is
returned to high. Upon release of the SYNCB pin, after four
cycles of the clock signal at CLK, all outputs continue clocking
in synchronicity (except where divide = 1).
When divide = 1 for an output, that output is not affected by
SYNCB.

Synchronization is initiated by pulling the SYNCB pin low for a
minimum of 5 ns. The input clock does not have to be present
at the time the command is issued. The synchronization occurs
after four input clock cycles.
The synchronization applies to clock outputs

An output with its divider set to divide = 1 (divider bypassed)
is always synchronized with the input clock, with a propagation

.
VREF
The VREF pin provides a voltage level of ⅔ VS. This voltage is
one of the four logic levels used by the setup pins (S0 to S10).
These pins set the operation of the AD9513. The VREF pin
provides sufficient drive capability to drive as many of the setup
pins as necessary, up to all on a single part. The VREF pin
should be used for no other purpose.
SETUP CONFIGURATION
The specific operation of the AD9513 is set by the logic levels
applied to the setup pins (S10 to S0). These pins use four-state
logic. The logic levels used are V

The AD9513 operation is determined by the combination of
logic levels present at the setup pins. The setup configurations
for the AD9513 are shown in
Table 11 to Tabl e 16 . The four
logic levels are referred to as 0, ⅓, ⅔, and 1. These numbers
represent the fraction of the V
levels. See the setup pin thresholds in
voltage that defines the logic
S
Table 6.
The meaning of some of the pin settings is changed by the
settings of other pins. For example, S0 determines whether S3,
and S4 sets OUT2 delay (S0 ≠ 0) or OUT2 phase (S0 = 0).
S2 indicates which outputs are in use, as shown in
Table 10 . This
allows the same pins (S5 and S6, S7 and S8) to determine the
settings for two different outputs, depending on which outputs
are in use.
Table 10. S2 Indicates Which Outputs Are in Use
S2 Outputs
0 OUT2 Off
1/3 All Outputs On
2/3 OUT0 Off
1 OUT1 Off
The fine delay values set by S3 and S4 (when the delay is being
used, S0 ≠ 0) are fractions of the full-scale delay. Note that the
longest setting is 15/16 of full scale. The full-scale delay times
are given in
Tabl e 3. To determine the actual delay, take the
fraction corresponding to the fine delay setting and multiply by
the full-scale value set by
and add the LVDS or CMOS propagation delay time (see
The full-scale delay times shown in
Table 3 corresponding to the S0 value
Table 3).
Table 11, and referred to
elsewhere, are nominal time values.
The value at S2 also determines whether S5 and S6 set OUT2
divide (S2 ≠ 0) or OUT1 phase (S2 = 0). In addition, S2
determines whether S7 and S8 set OUT1 divide (S2 ≠ 1) or
OUT2 phase (S2 = 1 and S0 ≠ 0). In addition, the value of S2
determines whether S9 and S10 set OUT0 divide (S2 ≠ 2/3) or
OUT2 divide (S2 = 2/3).

The phase offset of OUT1 and OUT2 can be selected (see Tabl e 13

Figure 25. Analog Delay Block
The amount of delay that can be used is determined by the
output frequency. The amount of delay is limited to less than
one-half cycle of the clock period. For example, for a 10 MHz
clock, the delay can extend to the full 11.6 ns maximum. However,
for a 100 MHz clock, the maximum delay is less than 5 ns (or
half of the period).
The AD9513 allows for the selection of three full-scale delays,
1.8 ns, 6.0 ns, and 11.6 ns, set by delay full-scale (see
Table 11).
Each of these full-scale delays can be scaled by 16 fine
adjustment values, which are set by the delay word (see
Table 13).
The delay block adds some jitter to the output. This means that
the delay function should be used primarily for clocking digital
chips, such as FPGA, ASIC, DUC, and DDC, rather than for
supplying a sample clock for data converters. The jitter is higher
for longer full scales because the delay block uses a ramp and
trip points to create the variable delay. A longer ramp means
more noise has a chance of being introduced.
When the delay block is OFF (bypassed), it is also powered
down.

POWER MANAGEMENT
In some cases, the AD9513 can be configured to use less power
by turning off functions that are not being used.
The power-saving options include the following:
•A divider is powered down when set to divide = 1
(bypassed).
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 AD9513 should be bypassed with
adequate capacitors (0.1 μF) at all power pins as close as
possible to the part. The layout of the AD9513 evaluation
board (AD9513/PCB) is a good example.
Exposed Metal Paddle
The exposed metal paddle on the AD9513 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 exposed paddle of the AD9513 package must be soldered
down. The AD9513 must dissipate heat through its exposed
paddle. The PCB acts as a heat sink for the AD9513. The PCB
attachment must provide a good thermal path to a larger heat
dissipation area, such as a ground plane on the PCB. This
requires a grid of vias from the top layer down to the ground
plane (see
Figure 28).The AD9513 evaluation board
(AD9513/PCB)provides a good example of how the part
should be attached to the PCB.
•Adjustable delay block on OUT2 is powered down when in
off mode (S0 = 0).
•An unneeded output can be powered down (see
Table 1 2).
This also powers down the divider for that output.

APPLICATIONS
USING THE AD9513 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 that can
provide superior clock performance in a noisy environment.)
The AD9513 features LVDS outputs that provide differential
clock outputs, which enable clock solutions that maximize
converter SNR performance. The input requirements of the

ADC (differential or single-ended, logic level, termination)
should be considered when selecting the best clocking/
converter solution.
LVDS CLOCK DISTRIBUTION
The AD9513 provides three clock outputs that are selectable as
either CMOS or LVDS levels. LVDS uses a current mode output
stage. The 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

CMOS CLOCK DISTRIBUTION
The AD9513 provides three outputs that are selectable as either
CMOS or LVDS levels. When selected as CMOS, an output
provides 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 used.
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 also 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 AD9513 do not supply enough
current to provide a full voltage swing with a low impedance
resistive, far-end termination, as shown in
Figure 32. The
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.

Because of the limitations of single-ended CMOS clocking,
consider using differential outputs when driving high speed
signals over long traces. The AD9513 offers LVDS outputs that
are better suited for driving long traces where the inherent noise
immunity of differential signaling provides superior
performance for clocking converters.
SETUP PINS (S0 TO S10)
The setup pins that require a logic level of ⅓ VS (internal selfbias) should be tied together and bypassed to ground via a
capacitor.
The setup pins that require a logic level of ⅔ V
should be tied
S
together, along with the VREF pin, and bypassed to ground via
a capacitor.
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 power
supply bypassing and grounding to ensure optimum
performance.
