GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9518-21 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 2.05 GHz
to 2.33 GHz. Optionally, an external VCO/VCXO of up to
2.4 GHz may be used.
The AD9518-2 emphasizes low jitter and phase noise to
max
imize data converter performance, and can benefit other
applications with demanding phase noise and jitter requirements.

Figure 1.
The AD9518-2 features six LVPECL outputs (in three pairs).
The LVPECL outputs operate to 1.6 GHz.
Each pair of outputs has dividers that allow both the divide
r
atio and coarse delay (or phase) to be set. The range of division
for the LVPECL outputs is 1 to 32.
The AD9518-2 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 AD9518-2 is specified for operation over the industrial
ra
nge of −40°C to +85°C.

AD9518 is used throughout to refer to all the members of the AD9518
family. However, when AD9518-2 is used, it is referring to that specific
member of the AD9518 family.

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 is
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.
