GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9517-31 provides a multi-output clock distribution
function with subpicosecond jitter performance, along with an
on-chip PLL and VCO. The on-chip VCO tunes from 1.75 GHz
to 2.25 GHz. Optionally, an external VCO/VCXO of up to
2.4 GHz may be used.
The AD9517-3 emphasizes low jitter and phase noise to
max
imize data converter performance, and it can benefit other
applications with demanding phase noise and jitter requirements.

The AD9517-3 features four LVPECL outputs (in two pairs);
four LVDS outputs (in two pairs); and eight CMOS outputs
(two per LVDS output). The LVPECL outputs operate to 1.6 GHz,
the LVDS outputs operate to 800 MHz, and the CMOS outputs
operate to 250 MHz.
Each pair of outputs has dividers that allow both the divide
atio and coarse delay (or phase) to be set. The range of division
r
for the LVPECL outputs is 1 to 32. The LVDS/CMOS outputs
allow a range of divisions up to a maximum of 1024.
The AD9517-3 is available in a 48-lead LFCSP and can be
op
erated 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. A
separate LVPECL power supply can be from 2.375 V to 3.6 V.
The AD9517-3 is specified for operation over the standard
ustrial range of −40°C to +85°C.

PFD FREQUENCY (MHz)
Figure 13. PFD Phase Noise Referred to PFD Input vs. PFD Frequency
An ideal sine wave can be thought of as having a continuous
nd even progression of phase with time from 0° to 360° for
a
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
sin
e 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
ome interval of offset frequencies (for example, 10 kHz to
s
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
Cs, DACs, and RF mixers. It lowers the achievable dynamic
AD
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
do
main, the same effect is exhibited as time jitter. When
observing a sine wave, the time of successive zero crossings
varies. In a square wave, the time jitter is 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.
Because 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
C decreases the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and dynamic
AD
range of the converter. A sampling clock with the lowest possible
jitter provides the highest performance from a given converter.
Additive Phase Noise
Additive phase noise is the amount of phase noise that is
ttributable to the device or subsystem being measured. The
a
phase noise of any external oscillators or clock sources iss
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 contributes its own phase noise to the total. In many
cases, the phase noise of one element dominates the system
phase noise. When there are multiple contributors to phase
noise, the total is the square root of the sum of squares of the
individual contributors.

THEORY OF OPERATION
OPERATIONAL CONFIGURATIONS
The AD9517 can be configured in several ways. These
configurations must be set up by loading the control registers
(see Tabl e 51 and Ta bl e 52 through Tabl e 61 ). Each section or
f
unction must be individually programmed by setting the
appropriate bits in the corresponding control register or registers.

divided down before reaching the channel dividers. This input
routing can also be used for lower input frequencies, but the
minimum divide is 2 before the channel dividers.
When the PLL is enabled, this routing also allows the use of the

the prescaler.

Clock Distribution or External VCO <1600 MHz
When the external clock source to be distributed or the external

requency Clock Distribution—CLK or External VCO >1600 MHz
s
ection in that the VCO divider (divide-by-2, divide-by-3,
divide-by-4, divide-by-5, and divide-by-6) is bypassed. This
limits the frequency of the clock source to <1600 MHz (due to
the maximum input frequency allowed at the channel dividers).

create a complete phase-locked loop or with an external VCO
or VCXO. The PLL requires an external loop filter, which
usually consists of a small number of capacitors and resistors.
The configuration and components of the loop filter help to
establish the loop bandwidth and stability of the operating PLL.
The AD9517 PLL is useful for generating clock frequencies
rom a supplied reference frequency. This includes conversion
f
of reference frequencies to much higher frequencies for subsequent
division and distribution. In addition, the PLL can be exploited to
clean up jitter and phase noise on a noisy reference. The exact
choices of PLL parameters and loop dynamics are application
specific. The flexibility and depth of the AD9517 PLL allow the
part to be tailored to function in many different applications
and signal environments.
Configuration of the PLL
The AD9517 allows flexible configuration of the PLL,
accommodating various reference frequencies, PFD comparison
frequencies, VCO frequencies, internal or external VCO/VCXO,
and loop dynamics. This is accomplished by the various settings
that include the R divider, the N divider, the PFD polarity (only
applicable to external VCO/VCXO), the antibacklash pulse
width, the charge pump current, the selection of internal VCO
or external VCO/VCXO, and the loop bandwidth. These are
managed through programmable register settings (see
nd Tabl e 53 ) and by the design of the external loop filter.

Charge Pump (CP)
The charge pump is controlled by the PFD. The PFD monitors
the phase and frequency relationship between its two inputs
and tells the CP to pump up or pump down to charge or
discharge the integrating node (part of the loop filter). The
integrated and filtered CP current is transformed into a voltage
that drives the tuning node of the internal VCO through the LF
pin (or the tuning pin of an external VCO) to move the VCO
frequency up or down. The CP can be set (0x10<6:4>) for high
impedance (allows holdover operation), for normal operation
(attempts to lock the PLL loop), for pump up, or for pump
down (test modes). The CP current is programmable in eight
steps from (nominally) 600 μA to 4.8 mA. The exact value of
the CP current LSB is set by the CP_RSET resistor, which is
nominally 5.1 kΩ.
On-Chip VCO
The AD9517 includes an on-chip VCO covering the frequency
range shown in Tab le 2 . Achieving low VCO phase noise was a
riority in the design of the VCO.
p
To tune over the wide range of frequencies covered by this
V
CO, ranges are used. This is largely transparent to the user but
is the reason that the VCO must be calibrated when the PLL
loop is first set up. The calibration procedure ensures that the
VCO is operating within the correct band range for the frequency
that it is asked to produce. See the
itional information.
add
VCO Calibration section for
The on-chip VCO is powered by an on-chip, low drop out
(LD
O), linear voltage regulator. The LDO provides some
isolation of the VCO from variations in the power supply
voltage level. The BYPASS pin should be connected to ground
by a 220 nF capacitor to ensure stability. This LDO employs the
same technology used in the anyCAP® line of regulators from
Analog Devices, Inc., making it insensitive to the type of
capacitor used. Driving an external load from the BYPASS pin
is not supported.
PLL External Loop Filter
When using the internal VCO, the external loop filter should be
referenced to the BYPASS pin for optimal noise and spurious
performance. An example of an external loop filter for the PLL
is shown in

settling time, and the loop stability. A knowledge of PLL theory
is necessary for understanding the subject of loop filter design.
There are tools available, such as ADIsimCLK, that can help
with the calculation of a loop filter according to the application
requirements.
PLL Reference Inputs
The AD9517 features a flexible PLL reference input circuit that
allows either a fully differential input or two separate singleended inputs. The input frequency range for the reference
inputs is specified in
e single-ended inputs are self-biased, allowing for easy
th
ac coupling of input signals.
The differential input and the single-ended inputs share the two

type is selected and controlled by 0x1C (see Tab l e 5 1 and Tab l e 5 3).
When the differential reference input is selected, the self-bias
lev
el of the two sides is offset slightly (~100 mV, see Ta b le 2 ) to
p
revent chattering of the input buffer when the reference is slow
or missing. This increases the voltage swing required of the
driver and overcomes the offset.
The single-ended inputs can be driven by either a dc-coupled
C
MOS level signal or an ac-coupled sine wave or square wave.
Each single-ended input can be independently powered down
when not needed to increase isolation and reduce power. Either
a differential or a single-ended reference must be specifically
enabled. All PLL reference inputs are off by default.
The differential reference input is powered down whenever the
PLL is p
not selected. The single-ended buffers power down when the
PLL is powered down and when their individual power-down
registers are set. When the differential mode is selected, the
single-ended inputs are powered down.
In differential mode, the reference input pins are internally selfbiased so that they can be ac-coupled via capacitors. It is possible to
dc couple to these inputs. If the differential REFIN is driven by
a single-ended signal, the unused side (

Reference Switchover
The AD9517 supports dual single-ended CMOS inputs, as well
as a single differential reference input. In the dual single-ended
reference mode, the AD9517 supports automatic and manual
PLL reference clock switching between REF1 (on Pin REFIN)
and REF2 (on Pin
REFIN
). This feature supports networking
and other applications that require redundant references. When
using reference switchover, the single-ended reference inputs
should be dc-coupled CMOS levels and never be allowed to go
to high impedance. If these inputs are allowed to go to high
impedance, noise may cause the buffer to chatter, causing a false
detection of the presence of a reference.
There are several configurable modes of reference switchover.
The s
witchover can be performed manually or automatically.
The manual switchover is done either through a register setting
(0x1D) or by using the REF_SEL pin. The automatic switchover
occurs when REF1 disappears. There is also a switchover deglitch
feature that ensures that the PLL does not receive rising edges that
are far out of alignment with the newly selected reference.
There are two reference automatic switchover modes (0x1C):
• P
refer REF1: Switch from REF1 to REF2 when REF1
disappears. Return to REF1 from REF2 when REF1 returns.
tay on REF2: Automatically switch to REF2 if REF1 disappears,
• S
but do not switch back to REF1 if it reappears. The reference
can be set back to REF1 manually at an appropriate time.
In automatic mode, REF1 is monitored by REF2. If REF1
isappears (two consecutive falling edges of REF2 without an
d
edge transition on REF1), REF1 is considered missing. Upon
the next subsequent rising edge of REF2, REF2 is used as the
reference clock to the PLL. If 0x1C<3> = 0b (default), when
REF1 returns (four rising edges of REF1 without two falling
edges of REF2 between the REF1 edges), the PLL reference
switches back to REF1. If 0x1C<3> = 1b, the user can control
when to switch back to REF1. This is done by programming the
part to manual reference select mode (0x1C<4> = 0b) and by
ensuring that the registers and/or REF_SEL pin are set to select
the desired reference. Automatic mode can be re-enabled when
REF1 is reselected.
Manual switchover requires the presence of a clock on the
r
eference input that is being switched to, or that the deglitching
feature be disabled (0x1C<7>).
Reference Divider R
The reference inputs are routed to the reference divider, R.
R (a 14-bit counter) can be set to any value from 0 to 16383 by
writing to 0x11 and 0x12. (Both R = 0 and R = 1 give divide-by-1.)
The output of the R divider goes to one of the PFD inputs to be
compared with the VCO frequency divided by the N divider.
The frequency applied to the PFD must not exceed the
maximum allowable frequency, which depends on the
antibacklash pulse setting (see
Tabl e 2).
The R counter has its own reset. The R counter can be reset
g the shared reset bit of the R, A, and B counters. It can also
usin
be reset by a
SYNC
operation.
VCXO/VCO Feedback Divider N: P, A, B, R
The N divider is a combination of a prescaler (P) and two
counters, A and B. The total divider value is
N = (P ×
where P ca
B) + A
n be 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32.
Prescaler
The prescaler of the AD9517 allows for two modes of operation:
a fixed divide (FD) mode of 1, 2, or 3, and dual modulus (DM)
mode where the prescaler divides by P and (P + 1) {2 and 3, 4
and 5, 8 and 9, 16 and 17, or 32 and 33}. The prescaler modes of
operation are given in
ailable at all frequencies (see Tabl e 2).

By using combinations of DM and FD modes, the AD9517 can
achieve values of N all the way down to N = 1. Tabl e 28 shows

ow a 10 MHz reference input may be locked to any integer
multiple of N.
Note that the same value of N may be derived in different ways,
as i
llustrated by the case of N = 12. The user may choose a fixed
divide mode P = 2 with B = 6, or use the dual modulus mode
2/3 with A = 0, B = 6, or use the dual modulus mode 4/5 with
A = 0, B = 3.
A and B Counters
The AD9517 B counter can be bypassed (B = 1). This B counter
bypass mode is only valid when using the prescaler in FD mode.
When A = 0, the divide is a fixed divide of P = 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32.
Unlike the R counter, an A = 0 is actually a zero. The B counter
ust be ≥3 or bypassed.

DIGITAL LOCK DETECT (DLD)
By selecting the proper output through the mux on each pin,
the DLD function is available at the LD, STATUS, and
REFMON pins. The DLD circuit indicates a lock when the time
difference of the rising edges at the PFD inputs is less than a
specified value (the lock threshold). The loss of a lock is
indicated when the time difference exceeds a specified value
(the unlock threshold). Note that the unlock threshold is wider
than the lock threshold, which allows some phase error in
excess of the lock window to occur without chattering on the
lock indicator.
The lock detect window timing depends on three settings: the
LD window bit (0x18<4>), the antibacklash pulse width
D
setting (0x17<1:0>, see Tab l e 2 ), and the lock detect counter
(0x18<6:5>). A
programmable number of consecutive PFD cycles with a time
difference less than the lock detect threshold. The lock detect
circuit continues to indicate a lock until a time difference
greater than the unlock threshold occurs on a single subsequent
cycle. For the lock detect to work properly, the period of the
PFD frequency must be greater than the unlock threshold. The
number of consecutive PFD cycles required for lock is
programmable (0x18<6:5>).
Analog Lock Detect (ALD)
The AD9517 provides an ALD function that may be selected for
use at the LD pin. There are two versions of ALD:
• N-cha
pull-up resistor to the positive supply, VS. The output is
normally high with short, low-going pulses. Lock is indicated
by the minimum duty cycle of the low-going pulses.
-channel open-drain lock detect. This signal requires a pull-
• P
down resistor to GND. The output is normally low with
short, high-going pulses. Lock is indicated by the minimum
duty cycle of the high-going pulses.
The analog lock detect function requires an R-C filter to
p
rovide a logic level indicating lock/unlock.
Current Source Digital Lock Detect (DLD)
During the PLL locking sequence, it is normal for the DLD
signal to toggle a number of times before remaining steady
when the PLL is completely locked and stable. There may be
applications where it is desirable to have DLD asserted only
after the PLL is solidly locked. This is possible by using the

nnel open-drain lock detect. This signal requires a

current source lock detect function. This function is set by
selecting it as the output from the LD pin control (0x1A<5:0>).
The current source lock detect provides a current of 110 μA
when D
LD is true and shorts to ground when DLD is false.
If a capacitor is connected to the LD pin, it charges at a rate
determined by the current source during the DLD true time
but is discharged nearly instantly when DLD is false. By
monitoring the voltage at the LD pin (top of the capacitor), it is
only possible to get a Logic High level after the DLD has been
true for a sufficiently long time. Any momentary DLD false
resets the charging. By selecting a properly sized capacitor, it is
possible to delay a lock detect indication until the PLL is stably
locked, and the lock detect does not chatter.
The voltage on the capacitor can be sensed by an external
co
mparator connected to the LD pin. However, there is an
internal LD pin comparator that can be read at the REFMON
pin control (0x1B<4:0>) or the STATUS pin control (0x17<7:2>)
as an active high signal. It is also available as an active low signal
(REFMON, 0x1B<4:0> and STATUS, 0x17<7:2>). The internal
LD pin comparator trip point and hysteresis are given in

Holdover
The AD9517 PLL has a holdover function. Holdover is
implemented by putting the charge pump into a high
impedance state. This is useful when the PLL reference clock is
lost. Holdover mode allows the VCO to maintain a relatively
constant frequency even though there is no reference clock.
Without this function, the charge pump is placed into a constant
pump-up or pump-down state, resulting in a massive VCO
frequency shift. Because the charge pump is placed in a high
impedance state, any leakage that occurs at the charge pump
output or the VCO tuning node causes a drift of the VCO
frequency. This can be mitigated by using a loop filter that
contains a large capacitive component because this drift is
limited by the current leakage induced slew rate (I
LEAK
/C)
of the VCO control voltage.
SYNC
Both a manual holdover, using the
pin, and an automatic
holdover mode are provided. To use either function, the holdover
function must be enabled (0x1D<0> and 0x1D<2>).
[Note that the VCO cannot be calibrated with the holdover
ena
bled because the holdover resets the N divider during
calibration, which prevents proper calibration. Disable holdover
before issuing a VCO calibration.]
Manual Holdover Mode
A manual holdover mode can be enabled that allows the user to
place the charge pump into a high impedance state when the
SYNC
pin is asserted low. This operation is edge sensitive not
level sensitive. The charge pump immediately enters a high
impedance state. To take the charge pump out of a high
impedance state take the
SYNC
pin high. The charge pump
then leaves high impedance state synchronously with the next
PFD rising edge from the reference clock. This prevents
extraneous charge pump events from occurring during the time
between
SYNC
going high and the next PFD event. This also
means that the charge pump stays in a high impedance state as
long as there is no reference clock present.
The B counter (in the N divider) is reset synchronously with the
cha
rge pump leaving the high impedance state on the reference
path PFD event. This helps align the edges out of the R and N
dividers for faster settling of the PLL. Because the prescaler is
not reset, this feature works best when the B and R numbers are
close because this results in a smaller phase difference for the
loop to settle out.
When using this mode, the channel dividers should be set to
SYNC
nore the
ig
pin (at least after an initial
dividers are not set to ignore the
SYNC
SYNC
event). If the
pin, any time
SYNC
is
taken low to put the part into holdover, the distribution outputs
turn off.
Automatic/Internal Holdover Mode
When enabled, this function automatically puts the charge
pump into a high impedance state when the loop loses lock.
The assumption is that the only reason the loop loses lock is due
to the PLL losing the reference clock; therefore, the holdover
function puts the charge pump into a high impedance state to
maintain the VCO frequency as close as possible to the original
frequency before the reference clock disappears.
A flow chart of the automatic/internal holdover function
peration is shown in Figure 51.

Figure 51. Flow Chart of Automatic/Internal Holdover Mode
The holdover function senses the logic level of the LD pin as a
condition to enter holdover. The signal at LD can be from the
DLD, ALD, or current source LD mode. It is possible to disable
the LD comparator (0x1D<3>), which causes the holdover
function to always sense LD as high. If DLD is used, it is
possible for the DLD signal to chatter some while the PLL is
reacquiring lock. The holdover function may retrigger, thereby
preventing the holdover mode from terminating. Use of the
current source lock detect mode is recommended to avoid this
situation (see the
Current Source Digital Lock Detect section).

AD9517-3
www.BDTIC.com/ADI
Once in holdover mode, the charge pump stays in a high
impedance state as long as there is no reference clock present.
As in the external holdover mode, the B counter (in the N
divider) is r
high impedance state on the reference path PFD event. This
helps to align the edges out of the R and N dividers for faster
settling of the PLL and to reduce frequency errors during
settling. Because the prescaler is not reset, this feature works
best when the B and R numbers are close, resulting in a smaller
phase difference for the loop to settle out.
After leaving holdover, the loop then reacquires lock and the
LD p
holdover (CP high impedance).
The holdover function always responds to the state of the
urrently selected reference (0x1C). If the loop loses lock during

oldover is triggered briefly until the next reference clock edge

operation over process and temperature. The VCO calibration
is controlled by a calibration controller running off a divided
REFIN clock. The calibration requires that the PLL be set up
properly to lock the PLL loop and that the REFIN clock be
present. During the first initialization after a power-up or a
reset of the AD9517, a VCO calibration sequence is initiated by
setting 0x18<0> = 1b. This can be done as part of the initial
setup before executing an update registers (0x232<0> = 1b).
Subsequent to the initial setup, a VCO calibration sequence is
initiated by resetting 0x18<0> = 0b, executing an update registers
operation, setting 0x18<0> = 1b, and executing another update
registers operation. A readback bit (0x1F<6>) indicates when a
VCO calibration is finished by returning a logic true (that is, 1b).
The sequence of operations for the VCO calibration is:
• Pr
ogram the PLL registers to the proper values for the PLL loop.
• F
or the initial setting of the registers after a power-up or
reset, initiate VCO calibration by setting 0x18<0> = 1b.
Subsequently, whenever a calibration is desired, set 0x18<0> =
0b, update registers, and set 0x18<0> = 1b, update registers.
YNC operation is initiated internally, causing the outputs
• A S
to go to a static state determined by normal SYNC function
operation.
• V
CO calibrates to the desired setting for the requested VCO
frequency.
nternally, the SYNC signal is released, allowing outputs to

continue clocking.
• P
LL loop is closed.
• P
LL locks.

A SYNC is executed during the VCO calibration; therefore, the
o
utputs of the AD9517 are held static during the calibration,
which prevents unwanted frequencies from being produced.
However, at the end of a VCO calibration, the outputs may
resume clocking before the PLL loop is completely settled.
The VCO calibration clock divider is set as shown in Tabl e 53
(0x18<2:1>).
The calibration divider divides the PFD frequency (reference
f
requency divided by R) down to the calibration clock. The
calibration occurs at the PFD frequency divided by the
calibration divider setting. Lower VCO calibration clock
frequencies result in longer times for a calibration to be
completed.

VCO calibration must be manually initiated. This allows for
flexibility in deciding what order to program registers and when
to initiate a calibration, instead of having it happen every time
certain PLL registers have their values change. For example, this
allows for the VCO frequency to be changed by small amounts
without having an automatic calibration occur each time; this
should be done with caution and only when the user knows the
VCO control voltage is not going to exceed the nominal best
performance limits. For example, a few 100 kHz steps are fine,
but a few MHz might not be. Additionally, because the
calibration procedure results in rapid changes in the VCO
frequency, the distribution section is automatically placed in
SYNC until the calibration is finished. Therefore, this
temporary loss of outputs must be expected.
A VCO calibration should be initiated under the following
nditions:
co
ter changing any of the PLL R, P, B, and A divider settings,
• Af
or after a change in the PLL reference clock frequency. This,
in effect, means any time a PLL register or reference clock is
changed such that a different VCO frequency results.
henever system calibration is desired. The VCO is designed
• W
to operate properly over extremes of temperatures even when
it is first calibrated at the opposite extreme. However, a VCO
calibration can be initiated at any time, if desired.
CLOCK DISTRIBUTION
A clock channel consists of a pair (or double pair, in the case of
CMOS) of outputs that share a common divider. A clock output
consists of the drivers that connect to the output pins. The clock
outputs have either LVPECL or LVDS/CMOS signal levels at
the pins.
The AD9517 has four clock channels: two channels are LVPECL
(
four outputs); two channels are LVDS/CMOS (up to four
LVDS outputs or up to eight CMOS outputs).
Each channel has its own programmable divider that divides
he clock frequency applied to its input. The LVPECL channel
t
dividers contain a divider that can divide by any integer from
1 to 32. Each LVDS/CMOS channel divider contains two
cascaded dividers that can be set to divide by any integer from
1 to 32. The total division of the channel is the product of the
divide value of the two cascaded dividers. This allows divide
values of (1 to 32) × (1 to 32), or up to 1024 (notice that this is
not all values from 1 to 1024 but only the set of numbers that
are the product of the two dividers).
Because the internal VCO frequency is above the maximum
c
hannel divider input frequency (1600 MHz), the VCO divider
must be used after the on-chip VCO. The VCO divider can be
set to divide by 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. External clock signals connected
to the CLK input also require the VCO divider if the frequency
of the signal is greater than 1600 MHz.
The channel dividers allow for a selection of various duty cycles,
dep
ending on the currently set division. That is, for any specific
division, D, the output of the divider can be set to high for
N + 1 input clock cycles and low for M + 1 input clock cycles
(where D = N + M + 2). For example, a divide-by-5 can be high
for one divider input cycle and low for four cycles, or a divideby-5 can be high for three divider input cycles and low for two
cycles. Other combinations are also possible.
The channel dividers include a duty-cycle correction function
tha
t can be disabled. In contrast to the selectable duty cycle
just described, this function can correct a non-50% duty cycle
caused by an odd division. However, this requires that the
division be set by M = N + 1.
In addition, the channel dividers allow a coarse phase offset or
y to be set. Depending on the division selected, the output
dela
can be delayed by up to 31 input clock cycles. The divider
outputs can also be set to start high or to start low.
Internal VCO or External CLK as Clock Source
The clock distribution of the AD9517 has two clock input
sources: an internal VCO and an external clock connected to
the CLK/
chosen as the source of the clock signal to distribute. When the
internal VCO is selected as the source, the VCO divider must be
used. When CLK is selected as the source, it is not necessary to
use the VCO divider if the CLK frequency is less than the
maximum channel divider input frequency (1600 MHz);
otherwise, the VCO divider must be used to reduce the
frequency to one acceptable by the channel dividers.

can pass frequencies up to the maximum frequency of the VCO
directly to the LVPECL outputs. The LVPECL outputs may not
be able to provide a full voltage swing at the highest frequencies.

Clock Frequency Division
The total frequency division is a combination of the VCO
divider (when used) and the channel divider. When the VCO
divider is used, the total division from the VCO or CLK to the
output is the product of the VCO divider (2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) and

The channel dividers feeding the LVPECL output drivers
contain one 2-to-32 frequency divider. This divider provides for
division by 1 to 32. Division by 1 is accomplished by bypassing
the divider. The dividers also provide for a programmable duty
cycle, with optional duty-cycle correction when the divide ratio
is odd. A phase offset or delay in increments of the input clock
cycle is selectable. The channel dividers operate with a signal at
their inputs up to 1600 MHz. The features and settings of the
dividers are selected by programming the appropriate setup
and control registers (see
Tabl e 51 through Tab le 6 1).
VCO Divider
The VCO divider provides frequency division between the
internal VCO or the external CLK input and the clock
distribution channel dividers. The VCO divider can be set
to divide by 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 (see Tab le 5 9 , 0x1E0<2:0>).
Channel Dividers—LVPECL Outputs
Each pair of LVPECL outputs is driven by a channel divider.
There are two channel dividers (0, 1) driving four LVPECL
outputs (OUT0 to OUT3). Tabl e 34 gives the register locations
u
sed for setting the division and other functions of these
dividers. The division is set by the values of M and N. The
divider can be bypassed (equivalent to divide-by-1, divider circuit
is powered down) by setting the bypass bit. The duty-cycle
correction can be enabled or disabled according to the setting of
the DCCOFF bits.
For each channel (where the channel number is x: 0, 1), the
frequency division, D
, is set by the values of M and N
X
(four bits each, representing Decimal 0 to Decimal 15), where
Number of Low Cycles = M + 1
Number of High Cycles = N + 1
The cycles are cycles of the clock signal currently routed to the
in
put of the channel dividers (VCO divider out or CLK).

Duty Cycle and Duty-Cycle Correction (0, 1)
The duty cycle of the clock signal at the output of a channel is a
result of some or all of the following conditions:
hat are the M and N values for the channel?
• W
• I
s the DCC enabled?
• I
s the VCO divider used?
• Wh
at is the CLK input duty cycle? (The internal VCO has a
50% duty cycle.)
The DCC function is enabled by default for each channel
er. However, the DCC function can be disabled
divid
individually for each channel divider by setting the
DCCOFF bit for that channel.
Certain M and N values for a channel divider result in a non50% d
uty cycle. A non-50% duty cycle can also result with an
even division if M ≠ N. The duty-cycle correction function
automatically corrects non-50% duty cycles at the channel
divider output to 50% duty cycle. Duty-cycle correction
requires the following channel divider conditions:
• A
n even division must be set as M = N
• An o
dd division must be set as M = N + 1
When not bypassed or corrected by the DCC function, the duty
ycle of each channel divider output is the numerical value of
c
(N + 1)/(N + M + 2) expressed as a %.
The duty cycle at the output of the channel divider for various
co
nfigurations is shown in Tabl e 3 5 to Ta ble 37.

Phase Offset or Coarse Time Delay (0, 1)
Each channel divider allows for a phase offset, or a coarse time
delay, to be programmed by setting register bits (see Ta b le 3 8).
Th
ese settings determine the number of cycles (successive
rising edges) of the channel divider input frequency by which to
offset, or delay, the rising edge of the output of the divider. This
delay is with respect to a nondelayed output (that is, with a
phase offset of zero). The amount of the delay is set by five bits
loaded into the phase offset (PO) register plus the start high
(SH) bit for each channel divider. When the start high bit is set,
the delay is also affected by the number of low cycles (M)
programmed for the divider.
It is necessary to use the SYNC function to make phase offsets
fective (see the Synchronizing the Outputs—SYNC Function
ef
secti
on).

Channel Dividers—LVDS/CMOS Outputs
Channel Divider 2 and Channel Divider 3 each drive a pair of
LVDS out p uts , g i v i n g f ou r LV D S o utputs (OUT4 to OUT7).
Alternatively, each of these LVDS differential outputs can be
configured individually as a pair (A and B) of CMOS singleended outputs, providing for up to eight CMOS outputs. By
default, the B output of each pair is off but can be turned on as
desired.

Phase Offset or Coarse Time Delay (Divider 2 and Divider 3)
Divider 2 and Divider 3 can be set to have a phase offset or
delay. The phase offset is set by a combination of the bits in the
phase offset and start high registers (see Tab l e 4 5 ).
Table 45. Setting Phase Offset and Division for Divider 2 and
Divider
Note that only delay fraction values up to 47 decimals (101111b;
re supported.
0x2F) a
In no case can the fine delay exceed one-half of the output clock
p
eriod. If a delay longer than half of the clock period is attempted,
the output stops clocking.
The delay function adds some jitter greater than that specified
r the nondelayed output. This means that the delay function
fo
should be used primarily for clocking digital chips, such as
FPGA, ASIC, DUC, and DDC. An output with this delay
enabled may not be suitable for clocking data converters. The
jitter is higher for long full scales because the delay block uses a
ramp and trip points to create the variable delay. A slower ramp
time produces more time jitter.
Synchronizing the Outputs—SYNC Function
The AD9517 clock outputs can be synchronized to each other.
Outputs can be individually excluded from synchronization.
Synchronization consists of setting the nonexcluded outputs to
a preset set of static conditions and subsequently releasing these
outputs to continue clocking at the same instant with the preset
conditions applied. This allows for the alignment of the edges of
two or more outputs or for the spacing of edges according to the
coarse phase offset settings for two or more outputs.

A SYNC operation brings all outputs that have not been
uded (by the nosync bit) to a preset condition before
excl
allowing the outputs to begin clocking in synchronicity. The
preset condition takes into account the settings in each of the
channel’s start high bit and its phase offset. These settings
govern both the static state of each output when the SYNC
operation is happening and the state and relative phase of the
outputs when they begin clocking again upon completion of the
SYNC operation. Between outputs and after synchronization,
this allows for the setting of phase offsets.
The AD9517 outputs are in pairs, sharing a channel divider per
p
air (two pairs of pairs, four outputs, in the case of CMOS). The
synchronization conditions apply to both outputs of a pair.
Each channel (a divider and its outputs) can be excluded from
ny SYNC operation by setting the nosync bit of the channel.
a
Channels that are set to ignore SYNC (excluded channels) do
not set their outputs static during a SYNC operation, and their
outputs are not synchronized with those of the nonexcluded
channels.
Clock Outputs
The AD9517 offers three output level choices: LVPECL, LVDS,
and CMOS. OUT0 to OUT3 are LVPECL differential outputs;
and OUT4 to OUT7 are LVDS/CMOS outputs. These outputs
can be configured as either LVDS differential or as pairs of
single-ended CMOS outputs.

LVPECL Outputs: OUT0 to OUT3
The LVPECL differential voltage (VOD) is selectable from
~400 mV to ~960 mV (see 0xF0:0xF5<3:2>). The LVPECL
outputs have dedicated pins for power supply (VS_LVPECL),
allowing a separate power supply to be used. V
S_LVPECL
can be
from 2.5 V to 3.3 V.
The LVPECL output polarity can be set as noninverting or
in
verting, which allows for the adjustment of the relative
polarity of outputs within an application without requiring a
board layout change. Each LVPECL output can be powered
down or powered up as needed. Because of the architecture of
the LVPECL output stages, there is the possibility of electrical
overstress and breakdown under certain power-down conditions.
For this reason, the LVPECL outputs have several power-down
modes. This includes a safe power-down mode that continues
to protect the output devices while powered down, although it
consumes somewhat more power than a total power-down. If
the LVPECL output pins are terminated, it is best to select the
safe power-down mode. If the pins are not connected (unused),
it is acceptable to use the total power-down mode.
OUT4 to OUT7 can be configured as either an LVDS
differential output or as a pair of CMOS single-ended outputs.
The LVDS outputs allow for selectable output current from
~1.75 mA to ~7 mA.
The LVDS output polarity can be set as noninverting or
in
verting, which allows for the adjustment of the relative
polarity of outputs within an application without requiring a
board layout change. Each LVDS output can be powered down
if not needed to save power.

OUT4 to OUT7 can also be CMOS outputs. Each LVDS output
can be configured to be two CMOS outputs. This provides for
up to eight CMOS outputs: OUT4A, OUT4B, OUT5A, OUT5B,
OUT6A, OUT6B, OUT7A, and OUT7B. When an output is
configured as CMOS, the CMOS Output A is automatically
turned on. The CMOS Output B can be turned on or off
independently. The relative polarity of the CMOS outputs can also
be selected for any combination of inverting and noninverting. See
Tabl e 56 , 0x140<7:5>, 0x141<7:5>, 0x142<7:5>, and 0x143<7:5>.
Each LVDS/CMOS output can be powered down as needed to
ave power. The CMOS output power-down is controlled by the
s
same bit that controls the LVDS power-down for that output.
This power-down control affects both the CMOS A and
CMOS B outputs. However, when the CMOS A output is powered
up, the CMOS B output can be powered on or off separately.

RESET MODES
The AD9517 has several ways to force the chip into a reset
condition that restores all registers to their default values and
makes these settings active.
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 (Hex) column of Tab l e 5 1 . At
p
ower-on, the AD9517 also executes a SYNC operation, which
brings the outputs into phase alignment according to the default
settings.
Asynchronous Reset via the
RESET
Pin
An asynchronous hard reset is executed by momentarily pulling
RESET
low. A reset restores the chip registers to the default
settings.
Soft Reset via 0x00<5>
A soft reset is executed by writing 0x00<5> and 0x00<2> = 1b.
This bit is not self-clearing; therefore, it must be cleared by
writing 0x00<5> and 0x00<2> = 0b to reset it and complete the
soft reset operation. A soft reset restores the default values to
the internal registers. The soft reset bit does not require an
update registers command (0x232) to be issued.

If the AD9517 clock outputs must be synchronized to each
other, a SYNC is required upon exiting power-down (see the
Synchronizing the Outputs—SYNC Function section). A VCO
libration is not required when exiting power-down.
ca
PLL Power-Down
The PLL section of the AD9517 can be selectively powered
down. There are three PLL operating modes set by 0x10<1:0>,
as shown in Tab l e 5 3 .
In asynchronous power-down mode, the device powers down as
oon as the registers are updated.
s
In synchronous power-down mode, the PLL power-down is
ga
ted 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
0x230<1> = 1b. This turns off the bias to the distribution
section. If the LVPECL power-down mode is normal operation
(00b), 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 11b, the LVPECL
output is not protected from reverse bias and can be damaged
under certain termination conditions.
Individual Clock Output Power-Down
Any of the clock distribution outputs may be powered down
individually by writing to the appropriate registers. The register
map details the individual power-down settings for each output
(see
Tabl e 51 ). The LVDS/CMOS outputs may be powered
wn, regardless of their output load configuration.
do
The LVPECL outputs have multiple power-down modes
(see Tabl e 55 ), which give some flexibility in dealing with the
va
rious output termination conditions. When the mode is set to
10b, the LVPECL output is protected from reverse bias to
2 VBE + 1 V. If 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
0x230<1> = 1b (see the

SERIAL CONTROL PORT
The AD9517 serial control port is a flexible, synchronous, serial
communications port that allows an easy interface with many
industry-standard microcontrollers and microprocessors. The
AD9517 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 AD9517. Single- or multiplebyte transfers are supported, as well as MSB first or LSB first
transfer formats. The AD9517 serial control port can be
configured for a single bidirectional I/O pin (SDIO only) or
for two unidirectional I/O pins (SDIO/SDO). By default, the
AD9517 is in bidirectional mode, long instruction (long
instruction is the only instruction mode supported).
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
ther an input only (unidirectional mode) or as both an
as ei
input/output (bidirectional mode). The AD9517 defaults to the
bidirectional I/O mode (0x00<7> = 0).
SDO (s
erial data out) is used only in the unidirectional I/O
mode (0x00<7>) as a separate output pin for reading back data.
(chip select bar) is an active low control that gates the read
CS
and write cycles. When

resistor to VS.

During this period, the serial control port state machine enters

rst Transfers section).
Fi

byte to be transferred, thereby ending the stream mode.
Communication Cycle—Instruction Plus Data
There are two parts to a communication cycle with the AD9517.
The first writes a 16-bit instruction word into the AD9517,
coincident with the first 16 SCLK rising edges. The instruction
word provides the AD9517 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, the second part
is the transfer of data into the serial control port buffer of the
AD9517. Data bits are registered on the rising edge of SCLK.
The length of the transfer (1, 2, 3 bytes or streaming mode) is
cated by two bits (W1:W0) in the instruction byte. When
indi
the transfer is 1, 2, or 3 bytes, but not streaming,
CS
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
is lowered. Raising CS
CS
on a nonbyte boundary resets the serial control port. During a
write, streaming mode does not skip over reserved or blank
registers; therefore, the user must know what bit pattern to
write to the reserved registers to preserve proper operation of
the part. It does not matter what data is written to blank registers.
Because data is written into a serial control port buffer area, not
dir
ectly into the actual control registers of the AD9517, an
additional operation is needed to transfer the serial control port
buffer contents to the actual control registers of the AD9517,
thereby causing them to become active. The update registers
operation consists of setting 0x232<0> = 1b (this bit is selfclearing). Any number of bytes of data can be changed before
executing an update registers. The update registers simultaneously
actuates all register changes that have been written to the buffer
since any previous update.

instruction word, where N is 1 to 3 as determined by W1:W0.
If N = 4, the read operation is in streaming mode, continuing

is raised. Streaming mode does not skip over reserved
CS
or blank registers. The readback data is valid on the falling
edge of SCLK.
The default mode of the AD9517 serial control port is the
idirectional mode. In bidirectional mode, both the sent data
b
and the readback data appear on the SDIO pin. It is also possible to
set the AD9517 to unidirectional mode (SDO enable register,
0x00<7>). In unidirectional mode, the readback data appears
on the SDO pin.
A readback request reads the data that is in the serial control
po
rt buffer area, or the data in the active registers (see Figure 61).

adback of the buffer or active registers is controlled by 0x04<0>.

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
b
ytes of data indicated by Bits W1:W0 (see Tab l e 4 7 ).

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. Only Bits<A9:A0> are needed to
cover the range of the 0x232 registers used by the AD9517.
Bits<A12:A10> 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 AD9517 instruction word and byte data can be MSB first
or LSB first. Any data written to 0000 must be mirrored; the
upper four bits (7:4) must mirror the lower four bits (3:0). This
makes it irrelevant whether LSB first or MSB first is in effect. As
an example of this mirroring, see the default setting for this
register: 0x18, which mirrors Bit 4 and Bit 3. This sets the long
instruction mode (default, and is the only mode supported).
The default for the AD9517 is MSB first.
When LSB first is set by 0x00<2> and 0x00<6>, it takes effect
ediately, because it only affects the operation of the serial
imm
control port and does not require that an update be executed.
When MSB first mode is active, the instruction and data bytes
m
ust 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 the high address to the 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 is active, 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 internal byte address generator of the serial
control port increments for each byte of the multibyte
transfer cycle.
The AD9517 serial control port register address decrements
f
rom the register address just written toward 0x00 for multibyte
I/O operations if the MSB first mode is active (default). If the
LSB first mode is active, the register address of the serial control
port increments from the address just written toward 0x232 for
multibyte I/O operations.
Streaming mode always terminates when it hits Address 0x232.
Note that unused addresses are not skipped during multibyte
I/O operations.

<2> <1> VCO Calibration Clock Divider
Bit used to initiate the VCO calibration. This bit must be toggled from 0 to 1 in the active registers. The sequence
to initiate a calibration is: program to a 0, followed by an update bit (Register 0x232<0>); then programmed to
1, followed by another update bit (Register 0x232<0>). This sequence gives complete control over when the
VCO calibration occurs relative to the programming of other registers that can impact the calibration.

APPLICATION NOTES
USING THE AD9517 OUTPUTS FOR ADC CLOCK
APPLICATIONS
Any high speed ADC is extremely sensitive to the quality of its
sampling clock. An ADC can be thought of as a sampling mixer,
and any noise, distortion, or timing jitter on the clock is
combined with the desired signal at the analog-to-digital
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

t
o 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 AD9517 features both LVPECL and 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.

LVPECL CLOCK DISTRIBUTION
The LVPECL outputs of the AD9517 provide the lowest jitter
clock signals available from the AD9517. The LVPECL outputs
(because they are open emitter) require a dc termination to bias
the output transistors. The simplified equivalent circuit in
Figure 57 shows the LVPECL output stage.

LVDS CLOCK DISTRIBUTION
The AD9517 provides four clock outputs (OUT4 to OUT7) that
are selectable as either CMOS or LVDS level outputs. LVDS is a
differential output option that uses a current mode output stage.
The nominal current is 3.5 mA, which yields 350 mV output
swing across a 100 Ω resistor. The LVDS output meets or
exceeds all ANSI/TIA/EIA-644 specifications.
A recommended termination circuit for the LVDS outputs is
shown i

CMOS CLOCK DISTRIBUTION
The AD9517 provides four clock outputs (OUT4 to OUT7)
that are selectable as either CMOS or LVDS level outputs.
When selected as CMOS, each output becomes a pair of CMOS
outputs, each of which can be individually turned on or off and
set as noninverting or inverting. These outputs are 3.3 V CMOS
compatible.
Whenever single-ended CMOS clocking is used, some of the
lowing general guidelines should be used.
fol
Point-to-point nets should be designed such that a driver has
only one receiver 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.

Because of the limitations of single-ended CMOS clocking,
consider using differential outputs when driving high speed
signals over long traces. The AD9517 offers both LVPECL and
LVDS outputs that are better suited for driving long traces
where the inherent noise immunity of differential signaling
provides superior performance for clocking converters.
