GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9901 is a digital phase/frequency discriminator capable
of directly comparing phase/frequency inputs up to 200 MHz.
Processing in a high speed trench-oxide isolated process, combined with an innovative design, gives the AD9901 a linear
detection range, free of indeterminate phase detection zones
common to other digital designs.
With a single +5 V supply, the AD9901 can be configured to
operate with TTL or CMOS logic levels; it can also operate
with ECL inputs when operated with a –5.2 V supply. The
open-collector outputs allow the output swing to be matched to
post-filtering input requirements. A simple current setting resistor controls the output stage current range, permitting a reduction in power when operated at lower frequencies.
Phase/Frequency Discriminator
AD9901
PHASE-LOCKED LOOP
A major feature of the AD9901 is its ability to compare
phase/frequency inputs at standard IF frequencies without
prescalers. Excessive phase uncertainty which is common with
standard PLL configurations is also eliminated. The AD9901
provides the locking speed of traditional phase/frequency discriminators, with the phase stability of analog mixers.
The AD9901 is available as a commercial temperature range
device, 0°C to +70°C, and as a military temperature device,
–55°C to +125°C. The commercial versions are packaged in a
14-lead ceramic DIP and a 20-lead PLCC.
The AD9901 Phase/Frequency Discriminator is available in
versions compliant with MIL-STD-883. Refer to the Analog
Devices Military Products Databook or current AD9901/883B
data sheet for specifications.

NOTES
1
Absolute maximum ratings are limiting values, to be applied individually, and beyond which the service ability of the circuit may be impaired. Functional operability
is not necessarily implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for an extended period of time may affect device reliability.

Maximum junction temperature should not exceed +175 °C for ceramic packages, +150°C for plastic packages. Junction temperature can be calculated by:
t
= PD (θ

where:
PD = power dissipation
θJA = thermal impedance from junction to air (°C/W)
θJC = thermal impedance from junction to case (°C/W)
