GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AD9530 is a fully integrated PLL and distribution supporting,

clock cleanup, and frequency translation device for 40 Gbps/

100 Gbps OTN applications. The internal PLL can lock to one

of two reference frequencies to generate four discrete output

frequencies up to 2.7 GHz.

The AD9530 features an internal 5.11 GHz to 5.4 GHz, ultralow

noise voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). All four outputs are

individually divided down from the internal VCO using two high

speed VCO dividers (the Mx dividers) and four individual 8-bit

channel dividers (the Dx dividers). The high speed VCO dividers

offer fixed divisions of 2, 2.5, 3, and 3.5 for wide coverage of

possible output frequencies. The AD9530 is configurable for

loop bandwidths <15 kHz to attenuate reference noise.

The AD9530 is available in a 48-lead LFCSP and operates from a

single 2.5 V typical supply voltage.

The AD9530 operates over the extended industrial temperature

range of −40°C to +85°C.

TERMINOLOGY

Phase Jitter

An ideal sine wave can be thought of as having a continuous

and even progression of phase with time from 0° to 360° for

each cycle. Actual signals, however, display a certain amount

of variation from ideal phase progression over time, and this

phenomenon is called phase jitter. Although many factors can

contribute to phase jitter, one major factor is random noise,

which is characterized statistically as being Gaussian (normal)

in distribution.

Phase jitter leads to a spreading out of the energy of the sine

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

decibels) 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.

Absolute Phase Noise

It is meaningful to integrate the total power contained within

some interval of offset frequencies (for example, 10 kHz to

10 MHz). This is called the integrated phase noise over that

frequency offset interval; it is 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 ADCs,

DACs, and RF mixers. It lowers the achievable dynamic range of

the converters and mixers, although they are affected in somewhat

different ways. Absolute phase noise is the actual measured

noise from the AD9530, and includes the input reference and

power supply noise.

Time Jitter

Phase noise is a frequency domain phenomenon. In the time

domain, 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 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

ADC decreases the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and dynamic

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 can be

attributed to the device or subsystem being measured. The phase

noise of any external oscillators or clock sources is subtracted,

making 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.

Additive Time Jitter

Additive time jitter is the amount of time jitter that can be attri-

buted to the device or subsystem being measured. The time jitter of

any external oscillators or clock sources is not a part of this jitter

number. This makes it possible to predict the degree to which the

device impacts the total system time jitter when used in

conjunction with the various oscillators and clock sources, each

of which contributes its own time jitter to the total. In many cases,

the time jitter of the external oscillators and clock sources

dominates the system time jitter.

Figure 15. Detailed Functional Block Diagram

OVERVIEW

The AD9530 is a fully integrated, integer-N PLL with an ultralow

noise, internal 5.11 GHz to 5.4 GHz RTWO capable of generating

<232 fs rms, (12 kHz to 20 MHz) jitter clocking signals with a

nonideal reference. The AD9530 is tailored for 40 Gbps and

100 Gbps OTN applications with stringent converter and ASIC

clocking specifications.

The AD9530 includes an on-chip PLL, an internal RTWO, and

four output channels with integrated dividers and CML drivers.

The PLL contains a partially internal active loop filter, which

requires a small number of external components to obtain loop

bandwidths lower than 15 kHz for reference phase noise

attenuation.

The four outputs of the AD9530 feature individual dividers to

generate four separate frequencies up to 2.7 GHz.

CONFIGURATION OF THE PLL

Configuration of the PLL is accomplished by programming the

various settings for the R divider, N divider, M3 divider, charge

pump current, and a calibration of the RTWO. The combination of

these settings and the loop filter determine the PLL loop

bandwidth and stability.

Successful PLL operation and satisfactory PLL loop performance

are highly dependent on proper configuration of the internal PLL

settings and loop filter. ADIsimCLK™ is a free program that helps

the design and exploration of the capabilities and features of the

AD9530, including the design of the PLL loop filter.

The PFD takes inputs from the R divider output and the

feedback divider path to produce an output proportional to the

phase and frequency difference between them. The PFD includes

an adjustable delay element that controls the width of the anti-

backlash pulse. This pulse ensures that there is no dead zone in

the PFD transfer function and minimizes phase noise and

reference spurs.

The maximum allowable input frequency into the PFD is specified

in the PFD parameter in Table 5.

Charge Pump (CP)

The CP is controlled by the PFD. The PFD monitors the phase

and frequency relationship between its two inputs and causes

the CP to pump up or pump down to charge or discharge, respec-

tively, the integrating node, which is part of the loop filter. The

integrated and filtered CP current is transformed into a voltage

that drives the tuning node of the RTWO to move the RTWO

frequency up or down. The CP current is programmable in 52 steps,

where each step corresponds to a current increase of 50 μA.

Calculate the CP current (ICP) by

ICP (μA) = 50 × (1 + x)

where x is the value written to Register 0x025, Bits[5:0].

PLL Active Loop Filter

The AD9530 active loop filter consists of an internal op amp,

internal passive components, and external passive components.

Proper loop filter configuration is application dependent. An

C1, C2, CA_OFFCHIP, and R2 are external components required for

proper loop filter operation. All internal loop filter components

(RMAIN, RA_ONCHIP, CMAIN) are fixed with the exception of CIN, which

has available settings of 5 pF to 192.5 pF by programming

bandwidth of the loop filter op amp. CIN is composed of a fixed

5 pF capacitor and a bank of 15 selectable 12.5 pF capacitors.

Calculate the CIN value by

CIN = 5 pF + 12.5 pF × Register 0x027, Bits[5:2]

Note that RMAIN and CMAIN in Figure 16 form a pole at

approximately 2 MHz.

Table 17 shows the typical loop filter component values and CP

settings for an 8 kHz loop bandwidth.

The maximum allowable capacitance value for the external loop

filter design is shown in Table 5. Exceeding this value may cause

various functions of the AD9530 to become unstable.

Use the ADIsimCLK design tool to design and simulate loop

filters with varying bandwidths.

PLL Reference Inputs

The AD9530 features two fully differential PLL reference inputs

that are routed through a 2:1 mux to a common R divider. The

differential reference input receiver has four internal termination/

biasing options to accommodate many input logic types. A

functional diagram of the reference input receiver is shown in

Figure 17. Table 18 details the four possible reference input

termination and common-mode settings achievable by writing

to Register 0x012, Bits[3:2] and Register 0x013, Bits[3:2]. The

input frequency specifications for the reference inputs are listed

in Table 4.

RTWO

The internal RTWO tunes from 5.11 GHz to 5.4 GHz and is

has two modes: high performance mode and low power mode.

These modes are set by Register 0x01C, Bit 0. These modes

enable optimization between the phase noise performance and

power consumption. See the Power Supply Recommendations

RTWO Calibration

The RTWO calibration function selects the appropriate RTWO

frequency band for a given configuration. A calibration is

performed by toggling Register 0x001, Bit 2 from 0 to 1. The

command sequence to issue a VCO calibration is as follows:

1. Write the desired AD9530 configuration, including the

divider and output driver settings.

2. Set Register 0x001, Bit 2 = 0 (CALIBRATE VCO bit).

Note that this is a self clearing bit.

A calibration is required after initial power-up, after subsequent

resets, and after any changes to the input reference frequency or

the divide settings that affect the RTWO operating frequency. A

2 sec wait timer is activated at power-up to gate the first calibration.

This wait time is not enforced for subsequent calibrations after

power-on. See the CML Output Drivers section for more

details. The PLL reference must be active and stable and the

PLL must be configured to a valid operational state prior to

issuing a calibration. After a calibration, all of the internal

dividers are synchronized automatically to ensure proper phase

alignment of the PLL and distribution.

Reference Switchover

The AD9530 supports two separate differential reference inputs.

Manual switchover is performed between these inputs by either

writing to Register 0x011, Bit 2 and Bit 1, or by using the REF_SEL

pin. Register 0x011, Bit 2 sets whether the REF_SEL pin or the

reference select register controls the reference input mux. Default

operation ignores the REF_SEL pin setting and uses the value of

Dividers (R, Mx, N, and Dx)

The AD9530 contains multiple dividers that configure the PLL

for a given frequency plan. Each divider has an associated reset

bit that is self clearing. Resetting a divider is required every time

the divide value of that driver is changed. Issuing a reset of a

single divider does not clear the current divide value.

Reference Divider (R Divider)

The reference inputs are routed through a 2:1 mux into a

common 8-bit R divider. R can be set to any value from 1 to 255

(Register 0x010, Bits[7:0]). Setting Register 0x010 = 0x0A is

equivalent to an R divider setting of 10.

The frequency out of the R divider must not exceed the maximum

allowable frequency of the PFD listed in Table 5.

The R divider has its own reset located in Register 0x011. This

reset bit is self clearing.

M3 and N Feedback Dividers

The total feedback division from the RTWO to the PFD is the

product of the M3 and N dividers. The N divider (Register 0x023,

Bits[7:0]) functions identically to the R divider described in the

Reference Divider (R Divider) section. The M3 divider

(Register 0x022, Bits[3:2]) is limited to fixed divide values of 2,

2.5, 3, and 3.5 and acts as a prescaler to the N divider. The M3

and N dividers have individual resets located at Register 0x022,

Bit 0, and Register 0x024, Bit 0, respectively.

M1 and M2 Dividers (M1 and M2)

The M1 and M2 dividers (Register 0x020, Bits[4:3] and

values of 2, 2.5, 3, and 3.5.

The M1 and M2 dividers provide frequency division between the

RTWO output and the clock distribution channel dividers (Dx).

The M1 and M2 dividers have individual resets located at

Channel Dividers (Dx)

The AD9530 has four 8-bit channel dividers (Dx) which are

identical to the R and N dividers. Dx can be set to any value

from 1 to 255. Setting the divide value for D1 through D4 is

accomplished by writing Register 0x014, Register 0x016,

D4 reset bits that reset D1 through D4 are located in Bit 0 of

Dividers Sync

Use a sync to phase align all of the AD9530 internal dividers to a

common point in time. A global sync of all dividers is performed

after a VCO calibration. To perform a VCO calibration, write a

1 to Bit 2 of Register 0x001. A VCO calibration must be

performed after power up, as well as any time a different VCO

frequency is selected.

To sync all of the dividers after programming them, without the

VCO frequency, write a 1 to Bit 1 of Register 0x001.

Lock Detector

The AD9530 features a frequency lock detect signal that

corresponds to whether the PLL reference and feedback edges are

within a certain frequency of one another. The exact frequency

lock threshold to indicate a PLL lock is user programmable in

frequency lock threshold to span ±20 ppb to ±300 ppm.

If the frequency error between the reference and feedback edges

is lower than the specified lock threshold, the LD pin goes high and

the PLL_LOCKED bit = 1. The LD pin and the PLL_LOCKED bit

go low when the error between the reference and feedback

edges is greater than the frequency lock threshold.

The lock detector also outputs an 11-bit word located in

through Bit 0 contain a binary value representative of the measured

frequency lock error, and Bit 11 indicates whether the 10-bit

value is expressed in ppm (parts per million) or ppb (parts per

billion). Note that this 11th bit is found in Register 0x01F, Bit 3.

CML Output Drivers

The AD9530 has four CML output drivers that are operable up to

2.7 GHz. Each output driver must be externally terminated as

shown in the Input/Output Termination Recommendations

section. The output voltage swing, internal termination, and

power-down of each CML driver are configurable by writing to

the appropriate registers. An initial calibration of the internal

termination and voltage swing is performed after a POR event.

This calibration requires that OUT1 is terminated, regardless of

whether the driver is needed in a specific design. A functional

diagram of the output driver is shown in Figure 18.

Figure 18. CML Output Simplified Equivalent Circuit

The CML differential voltage (VOD) is selectable from 0.8 V to 1.1 V

via Bits[5:4] of Register 0x015, Register 0x017, Register 0x019,

and Register 0x01B.

The AD9530 has optional internal termination for cases where

transmission line impedance mismatch between the CML output

and the receiver causes increased reflections at high output

frequencies. These terminations improve impedance match

traces at high frequency at the expense of drawing twice as

much current as the default operating condition.

For Register 0x015 (for OUT1), Register 0x017 (for OUT2),

setting the OUTx_TERM_EN (Bit 3) = 1 enables the on-chip

termination and is configurable for each driver.

Each CML output can be enabled as needed by altering the

appropriate OUTx_ENABLE bit.

RESET MODES

The AD9530 has a POR and several other ways to apply a reset

condition to the chip.

Power-On Reset (POR)

During chip power-up, a POR pulse is issued when VDD

reaches ~2 V and restores the chip to the default on-chip

setting. At this point, a 2 sec counter is started to allow all the

user device settings to load and the RTWO to stabilize. After

the 2 sec counter finishes, the user can issue a VCO calibration

and outputs begin toggling ~500 ns later.

2 sec Wait Timer

The 2 sec wait timer ensures that all internal supplies are stable

before allowing the user to issue a VCO calibration. This timer

only starts after a POR. The user may program all the necessary

registers during this time, including the VCO calibration bit. After

the timer times out and a reference input is applied, the

calibration issues, allowing the PLL to lock and the outputs to

toggle. The maximum internal wait time is shown in Table 5.

Hardware Reset via the RESET Pin

Driving the RESET pin to a Logic 0 and then back to a Logic 1

restores the chip to the on-chip default register settings.

Soft Reset via the Serial Port

The serial port control register allows a soft reset by setting

restores to the on-chip default settings, except for Register 0x000

and Register 0x001. Register 0x000 and Register 0x001 retain

the values prior to reset, except for the self clearing bits. However,

the self clearing operation does not complete until an additional

serial port SCLK cycle occurs; the AD9530 is held in reset until

this additional SCLK cycle.

Individual Divider Reset via the Serial Port

Every divider in the AD9530 has the ability to reset individually

by using the appropriate reset bit. This reset does not clear the

value written in the specific divider register but restarts the

divider count to 0, which results in a phase adjustment. See the

associated divider section or the register map for the location of

these bits.

POWER-DOWN MODES

Sleep Mode via the Serial Port

Place the AD9530 in sleep mode by writing Register 0x002,

Bits[1:0] = 11. This mode powers down the following blocks:

• All OUTx drivers

• All REFx inputs

• All Mx dividers

• RTWO power set to minimum

• CP current set to minimum

• PFD

• Loop filter op amp

Individual Clock Input and Output Power-Down

Power down any of the reference inputs or clock distribution

outputs by individually writing to the appropriate registers. The

SERIAL CONTROL PORT

The AD9530 serial control port is a flexible, synchronous serial

communications port that provides a convenient interface to

many industry-standard microcontrollers and microprocessors.

The serial control port allows read/write access to the AD9530

The AD9530 uses the Analog Devices, Inc., unified SPI protocol.

The unified SPI protocol guarantees that all new Analog Devices

products using the unified protocol have consistent serial port

characteristics. The SPI port configuration is programmable via

rather than in the register map.

SPI SERIAL PORT OPERATION

Pin Descriptions

The SCLK (serial clock) pin serves as the serial shift clock. This

pin is an input. SCLK synchronizes serial control port read and

write operations. The rising edge SCLK registers write data bits,

and the falling edge registers read data bits. The SCLK pin

supports a maximum clock rate of 40 MHz.

The SPI port supports both 3-wire (bidirectional) and 4-wire

(unidirectional) hardware configurations and both MSB-first

and LSB-first data formats. Both the hardware configuration

and data format features are programmable. The 3-wire mode

uses the SDIO (serial data input/output) pin for transferring

data in both directions. The 4-wire mode uses the SDIO pin

for transferring data to the AD9530, and the SDO pin for

transferring data from the AD9530.

The CS (chip select) pin is an active low control that gates read

and write operations. Assertion (active low) of the CS pin initiates a

write or read operation to theAD9530 SPI port. Any number of

data bytes can be transferred in a continuous stream. The register

address is automatically incremented or decremented based on the

setting of the address ascension bit (Register 0x0000). CS must be

deasserted at the end of the last byte transferred, thereby ending

the stream mode. This pin is internally connected to a 10 kΩ pull-

up resistor. When CS is high, the SDIO and SDO pins go into a

high impedance state.

Implementation Specific Details

A detailed description of the unified SPI protocol can be found

at www.analog.com/ADISPI, which covers items such as timing,

command format, and addressing.

The following product specific items are defined in the unified

SPI protocol:

• Analog Devices unified SPI protocol Revision: 1.0.

• Chip type: 0x05 (0x05 indicates a clock chip).

• Product ID: 10011b (in this case) uniquely identifies the

device as AD9530. No other Analog Devices clock IC

supporting unified SPI has this identifier.

• Physical layer: 3-wire and 4-wire supported and 2.5 V

operation supported.

• Optional single-byte instruction mode: not supported.

• Data link: not used.

• Control: not used.

Communication Cycle—Instruction Plus Data

The unified SPI protocol consists of a two part communication

cycle. The first part is a 16-bit instruction word that is coincident

with the first 16 SCLK rising edges and a payload. The instruction

word provides the AD9530 serial control port with information

regarding the payload. The instruction word includes the R/W bit

that indicates the direction of the payload transfer (that is, a

read or write operation). The instruction word also indicates

the starting register address of the first payload byte.

Write

If the instruction word indicates a write operation, the payload

is written into the serial control port buffer of the AD9530. Data

bits are registered on the rising edge of SCLK. Generally, it does

not matter what data is written to blank registers; however, it is

customary to use 0s. Note that there may be reserved registers

with default values not equal to 0x00; however, every effort was

made to avoid this.

Most of the serial port registers are buffered (see the Buffered/

Active Registers section for details on the difference between

buffered and active registers). Therefore, data written into

buffered registers does not take effect immediately. An additional

operation is needed to transfer buffered serial control port

contents to the registers that actually control the device. This

transfer is accomplished with an IO_UPDATE operation, which

is performed in one of two ways. One method is to write a Logic 1

to Register 0x00F, Bit 0 (this bit is an autoclearing bit). The user

can change as many register bits as desired before executing an

IO_UPDATE command. The IO_UPDATE operation transfers

the buffer register contents to their active register counterparts.

AD9530 Data Sheet

Rev. 0 | Page 24 of 41

Read

If the instruction word indicates a read operation, the next

N × 8 SCLK cycles clock out the data starting from the address

specified in the instruction word. N is the number of data bytes

read. The readback data is driven to the pin on the falling edge

and must be latched on the rising edge of SCLK. Blank registers

are not skipped over during readback.

A readback operation takes data from either the serial control

port buffer registers or the active registers, as determined by

SPI Instruction Word (16 Bits)

The MSB of the 16-bit instruction word is R/W, which indicates

whether the instruction is a read or a write. The next 15 bits are

the register address (A14 to A0), which indicates the starting

that, because there are no registers that require more than

13 address bits, A14 and A13 are ignored and treated as zeros.

SPI MSB/LSB First Transfers

The AD9530 instruction word and payload can be MSB first or

LSB first. The default for the AD9530 is MSB first. The LSB first

mode can be set by writing a 1 to Register 0x000, Bit 6 and Bit 1.

Immediately after the LSB first bit is set, subsequent serial

control port operations are LSB first.

Address Ascension

If the address ascension bit (Register 0x000, Bit 5 and Bit 2) = 0,

the serial control port register address decrements from the

specified starting address toward Address 0x0000.

If the address ascension bit (Register 0x0000, Bit 5 and Bit 2) = 1,

the serial control port register address increments from the

starting address toward Address 0x0FF. Reserved addresses are

not skipped during multibyte input/output operations;

therefore, write the default value to a reserved register and 0s to

unmapped registers. Note that it is more efficient to issue a new

write command than to write the default value to more than

two consecutive reserved (or unmapped) registers.

POWER DISSIPATION AND THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS

The AD9530 is a multifunctional, high speed device that targets

a wide variety of clock applications. The numerous innovative

features contained in the device each consume incremental power.

If all outputs are enabled in the maximum frequency and mode

that have the highest power, the safe thermal operating conditions

of the device may be exceeded. Careful analysis and consideration

of power dissipation and thermal management are critical

elements in the successful application of the AD9530.

The AD9530 is specified to operate within the industrial

temperature range of –40°C to +85°C. This specification is

conditional, such that the absolute maximum junction

temperature is not exceeded (as specified in Table 14). At

high operating temperatures, extreme care must be taken

when operating the device to avoid exceeding the junction

temperature and potentially damaging the device.

Many variables contribute to the operating junction temperature

within the device, including

• Selected driver mode of operation

• Output clock speed

• Supply voltage

• Ambient temperature

The combination of these variables determines the junction

temperature within the AD9530 for a given set of operating

conditions.

The AD9530 is specified for an ambient temperature (TA). To

ensure that TA is not exceeded, use an airflow source.

Use the following equation to determine the junction

temperature on the application PCB:

TJ = TCASE + (ΨJT × PD)

where:

TJ is the junction temperature (°C).

TCASE is the case temperature (°C) measured at the top center of

the package.

ΨJT is the value from Table 14.

PD is the power dissipation of the AD9530.

Values of θJA are provided for package comparison and PCB

design considerations. θJA can be used for a first-order

approximation of TJ by the equation

TJ = TA + (θJA × PD)

where TA is the ambient temperature (°C).

Values of θJC are provided for package comparison and PCB

design considerations when an external heat sink is required.

Values of ΨJB are provided for package comparison and PCB

design considerations.

CLOCK SPEED AND DRIVER MODE

Clock speed directly and linearly influences the total power

dissipation of the device and, therefore, the junction temperature.

Table 3 lists the currents required by the driver for a single

output frequency. If using the current vs. frequency graphs

provided in the Typical Performance Characteristics section,

subtract the power into the load using the following equation:

PLOAD = (Differential Output Voltage Swing2/50 Ω)

EVALUATION OF OPERATING CONDITIONS

The first step in evaluating the operating conditions is to

determine the AD9530 maximum power consumption for the

user configuration by referring to the values in Table 2. The

maximum PD excludes power dissipated in the load resistors of

the drivers because such power is external to the device. Use the

current dissipation specifications listed in Table 2, as well as the

power dissipation numbers in Table 3 to calculate the total

power dissipated for the desired configuration.

The second step in evaluating the operating conditions is to

multiply the power dissipated by the thermal impedance to

determine the maximum power gradient. For this example, a

thermal impedance of θJA = 21.1°C/W is used.

Example 1

Example 1 is as follows:

(1358 mW × 21.1°C/W) = 29°C

With an ambient temperature of 85°C, the junction temperature is

TJ = 85°C + 29°C = 114°C

This junction temperature is below the maximum allowable

temperature.

Example 2

Example 2 is as follows:

(1630 mW × 21.1°C/W) = 34°C

With an ambient temperature of 85°C, the junction temperature is

TJ = 85°C + 34°C = 119°C

This junction temperature is greater than the maximum allowable

temperature. The ambient temperature must be lowered by 4°C

to operate in the condition of Example 2.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

POWER SUPPLY RECOMMENDATIONS

The AD9530 only requires 2.5 V for operation, but proper isolation

between power domains is beneficial for performance. Figure 31

shows the recommended Analog Devices power solutions for

the best possible performance of the AD9530. These devices are

also featured on the evaluation board.

USING THE AD9530 OUTPUTS FOR ADC CLOCK

APPLICATIONS

Any high speed ADC is extremely sensitive to the quality of the

sampling clock of the AD9530. An ADC can be thought of as a

sampling mixer, and any noise, distortion, or time jitter on the

clock is combined with the desired signal at the analog-to-digital

output. Clock integrity requirements scale with the analog input

frequency and resolution, with higher analog input frequency

applications at ≥14-bit resolution being the most stringent. The

theoretical SNR of an ADC is limited by the ADC resolution and

the jitter on the sampling clock. Considering an ideal ADC of

infinite resolution, where the step size and quantization error

can be ignored, the available SNR can be expressed

approximately by

where:

fA is the highest analog frequency being digitized.

tJ is the rms jitter on the sampling clock.

of the analog frequency and effective number of bits (ENOB).

For more information, see the AN-756 Application Note,

Sampled Systems and the Effects of Clock Phase Noise and Jitter,

and the AN-501 Application Note, Aperture Uncertainty and

ADC System Performance.

Many high performance ADCs feature differential clock inputs

to simplify the task of providing the required low jitter clock on

a noisy PCB. Distributing a single-ended clock on a noisy PCB can

result in coupled noise on the sampling clock. Differential

distribution has inherent common-mode rejection that can

provide superior clock performance in a noisy environment.

The differential CML outputs of the AD9530 enable clock

solutions that maximize converter SNR performance.

Consider the input requirements of the ADC (differential or single-

ended, logic level termination) when selecting the best clocking/

converter solution.

CONTROL REGISTERS

CONTROL REGISTER MAP OVERVIEW

and writing to those registers has no effect. Registers that are

marked as reserved must never have their values changed.

When writing to registers with bits that are marked reserved,

take care to always write the default value for the reserved bits.

Unused and reserved registers are in the control register map

but are not in the control register description tables.
