GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AD9837 is a low power, programmable waveform generator capable of producing sine, triangular, and square wave outputs. Waveform generation is required in various types of sensing, actuation, and time domain reflectometry (TDR) applications. The output frequency and phase are software programmable, allowing easy tuning. The frequency registers are 28 bits wide: with a 16 MHz clock rate, resolution of 0.06 Hz can be achieved; with a 5 MHz clock rate, the AD9837 can be tuned to 0.02 Hz resolution.
The AD9837 is written to via a 3-wire serial interface. This serial interface operates at clock rates up to 40 MHz and is compatible with DSP and microcontroller standards. The device operates with a power supply from 2.3 V to 5.5 V.
The AD9837 has a power-down (sleep) function. Sections of the device that are not being used can be powered down to minimize the current consumption of the part. For example, the DAC can be powered down when a clock output is being generated.
The AD9837 is available in a 10-lead LFCSP_WD package.

Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

THERMAL RESISTANCE

θJA is specified for the worst-case conditions, that is, a device soldered in a circuit board for surface-mount packages.

Figure 4. Pin Configuration
Table 5. Pin Function Descriptions
Pin No. Mnemonic Description
1 COMP DAC Bias Pin. This pin is used for decoupling the DAC bias voltage. 2 VDD
Positive Power Supply for the Analog and Digital Interface Sections. The on-board 2.5 V regulator is also supplied from VDD. VDD can have a value from 2.3 V to 5.5 V. A 0.1 μF and a 10 μF decoupling capacitor should be connected between VDD and AGND.
3 CAP/2.5V
The digital circuitry operates from a 2.5 V power supply. This 2.5 V is generated from VDD using an on-board regulator when VDD exceeds 2.7 V. The regulator requires a decoupling capacitor of 100 nF typical, which is connected from CAP/2.5V to DGND. If VDD is less than or equal to 2.7 V, CAP/2.5V should be tied directly to
VDD to bypass the on-board regulator. 4 DGND Digital Ground. 5 MCLK
Digital Clock Input. DDS output frequencies are expressed as a binary fraction of the frequency of MCLK. The
output frequency accuracy and phase noise are determined by this clock. 6 SDATA Serial Data Input. The 16-bit serial data-word is applied to this input. 7 SCLK Serial Clock Input. Data is clocked into the AD9837 on each falling edge of SCLK. 8 FSYNC
Active Low Control Input. FSYNC is the frame synchronization signal for the input data. When FSYNC is taken
low, the internal logic is informed that a new word is being loaded into the device. 9 AGND Analog Ground. 10 VOUT
Voltage Output. The analog and digital output from the AD9837 is available at this pin. An external load
resistor is not required because the device has a 200 Ω resistor on board. EP Exposed Pad. Connect the exposed pad to ground.
