CMOS Direct Digital Synthesizer
AD9913
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9913 is a complete direct digital synthesizer (DDS)
designed to meet the stringent power consumption limits of
portable, handheld, and battery-powered equipment. The
AD9913 features a 10-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC)
operating up to 250 MSPS. The AD9913 uses advanced DDS
technology, coupled with an internal high speed, high
performance DAC to form a complete, digitally-programmable, high frequency synthesizer capable of generating a
frequency agile analog output sinusoidal waveform at up to
100 MHz.
The AD9913 provides fast frequency hopping and fine tuning
resolution. The AD9913 also offers fine resolution phase offset
control. Control words are loaded into the AD9913 through the
serial or parallel I/O port. The AD9913 also supports a userdefined linear sweep mode of operation for generating highly
linearized swept waveforms of frequency. To support various
methods of generating a system clock, the AD9913 includes an
oscillator, allowing a simple crystal to be used as the frequency
reference, as well as a high speed clock multiplier to convert the
reference clock frequency up to the full system clock rate. For
power saving considerations, many of the individual blocks of
the AD9913 can be powered down when not in use.
The AD9913 operates over the extended industrial temperature
range of −40°C to +85°C.

SYSCLK cycle refers to the actual clock frequency used on-chip by the DDS. If the reference clock multiplier is used to multiply the external reference clock frequency,
the SYSCLK frequency is the external frequency multiplied by the reference clock multiplication factor. If the reference clock multiplier and divider are not used, the
SYSCLK frequency is the same as the external reference clock frequency.
