GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9561 is a second generation high speed, digitally
programmable pulse width modulator (PWM). Output pulse
width is proportional to an 8-bit DATA input value. Two
additional control inputs determine if the pulse is placed at the
beginning, middle or end of the clock period. Pulse width and
placement can be changed every clock cycle up to 60 MHz.
Pulse width modulation is a well proven method for controlling
gray scale and resolution enhancement in scanning laser print
engines. Modulating pulse width provides the most cost
effective method for continuous tone reproduction and resolu-
tion enhancement in low-to-moderate cost scanning electro-
photographic systems.
The AD9561 uses precision analog circuits to control dot size
so that near-photographic quality images are practical without
the high frequency clock signals required by all digital approaches.
The AD9561 has improved features and performance over its
predecessor, the AD9560. An improved ramp topology enables
control of pulse width through 100% of the dot clock period as
opposed to 95% for the AD9560. This enables smooth transi-
tion across dot boundaries for line screen applications.
FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
Additionally, input data setup and hold time are symmetrical at
2 ns each, simplifying interface to the system bus.
Finally, chip design and pinout are optimized to decrease
sensitivity of analog circuits to digital coupling. (See layout
section for detailed recommendations for optimum results.)
Inputs are TTL or CMOS compatible, and outputs are CMOS
compatible. The AD9561JR is packaged in a 28-lead plastic
SOIC. It is rated over the commercial temperature range, 0°C
to +70°C.
HIGHLIGHTS
1. 60 MHz native printer clock rate.
2. Single +5 V power supply.
3. On-chip Autocalibration.
4. Pulse placement flexibility.
5. High resolution: 256 pulse widths.

NOTES
1
Best Fit between codes 25 and 230. INL is very layout sensitive.
2
Due to linearity mismatch in dual ramps.
3
Measured from rising edge of clock to transition of Codes 0 to 255.
4
Minimum pulse width (at 20 MHz) limited by rise time. Pulse width for Code 25 will be greater when CLOCK < 20 MHz.
5
Output load = 10 pF and 2 mA source/sink.
6
Load conditions to test output drive capability. Linearity will degrade with either capacitive or current loading. Best linearity obtained driving a single CMOS input.
7
All performance specifications valid when supply maintained at +5 V, ±5%.
8
Tested from +4.75 V to +5.25 V.
Specification subject to change without notice.

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection.
Although the AD9561 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may
occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD
precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.
