GENERAL DESCRIPTION The AD9736, AD9735, and AD9734 are high performance, high frequency DACs that provide sample rates of up to 1200 MSPS, permitting multicarrier generation up to their Nyquist frequency. The AD9736 is the 14-bit member of the family, while the AD9735 and the AD9734 are the 12-bit and 10-bit members, respectively. They include a serial peripheral interface (SPI) port that provides for programming of many internal parameters and enables readback of status registers.
A reduced-specification LVDS interface is utilized to achieve the high sample rate. The output current can be programmed over a range of 8.66 mA to 31.66 mA. The AD973x family is manufactured on a 0.18 µm CMOS process and operates from 1.8 V and 3.3 V supplies for a total power consumption of 380 mW in bypass mode. It is supplied in a 160-lead chip scale ball grid array for reduced package parasitics.

TERMINOLOGY Linearity Error (Integral Nonlinearity or INL) The maximum deviation of the actual analog output from the ideal output, determined by a straight line drawn from zero to full scale.
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL) The measure of the variation in analog value, normalized to full scale, associated with a 1 LSB change in digital input code.
Monotonicity A DAC is monotonic if the output either increases or remains constant as the digital input increases.
Offset Error The deviation of the output current from the ideal of zero. For IOUTA, 0 mA output is expected when the inputs are all 0s. For IOUTB, 0 mA output is expected when all inputs are set to 1s.
Gain Error The difference between the actual and ideal output span. The actual span is determined by the output when all inputs are set to 1s minus the output when all inputs are set to 0s.
Output Compliance Range The range of allowable voltage at the output of a current output DAC. Operation beyond the maximum compliance limits can cause either output stage saturation or breakdown, resulting in nonlinear performance.
Temperature Drift Specified as the maximum change from the ambient (25°C) value to the value at either TMIN or TMAX. For offset and gain drift, the drift is reported in ppm of full-scale range (FSR) per °C. For reference drift, the drift is reported in ppm per °C.
Power Supply Rejection The maximum change in the full-scale output as the supplies are varied from nominal to minimum and maximum specified voltages.
Settling Time The time required for the output to reach and remain within a specified error band about its final value, measured from the start of the output transition.
Glitch Impulse Asymmetrical switching times in a DAC give rise to undesired output transients that are quantified by a glitch impulse. It is specified as the net area of the glitch in pV-s.
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range The difference, in dB, between the rms amplitude of the output signal and the peak spurious signal over the specified bandwidth.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) The ratio of the rms sum of the first six harmonic components to the rms value of the measured input signal. It is expressed as a percentage or in decibels (dB).
Multitone Power Ratio The spurious-free dynamic range containing multiple carrier tones of equal amplitude. It is measured as the difference between the rms amplitude of a carrier tone to the peak spurious signal in the region of a removed tone.

THEORY OF OPERATION The AD9736, AD9735, and AD9734 are 14-bit, 12-bit, and 10-bit DACs that run at an update rate up to 1.2 GSPS. Input data can be accepted up to the full 1.2 GSPS rate, or a 2× interpolation filter can be enabled (2× mode) allowing full speed operation with a 600 MSPS input data rate. The DATA and DATACLK_IN inputs are parallel LVDS, meeting the IEEE reduced swing LVDS specifications with the exception of input hysteresis. The DATACLK_IN input runs at one-half the input DATA rate in a double data rate (DDR) format. Each edge of DATACLK_IN transfers DATA into the AD9736, as shown in Figure 79.
The DACCLK−/DACCLK+ inputs (Pin E1 and Pin F1) directly drive the DAC core to minimize clock jitter. The DACCLK signal is also divided by 2 (1× and 2× mode), then output as the DATACLK_OUT. The DATACLK_OUT signal clocks the data source. The DAC expects DDR LVDS data (DB<13:0>) aligned with the DDR input clock (DATACLK_IN) from a circuit simi-lar to the one shown in Figure 96. Table 19 shows the clock relationships.
Table 19. AD973x Clock Relationship MODE DACCLK DATACLK_OUT DATACLK_IN DATA 1× 1.2 GHz 600 MHz 600 MHz 1.2 GSPS 2× 1.2 GHz 600 MHz 300 MHz 600 MSPS
Maintaining correct alignment of data and clock is a common challenge with high speed DACs, complicated by changes in temperature and other operating conditions. Using the DATACLK_OUT signal to generate the data allows most of the internal process, temperature, and voltage delay variation to be cancelled. The AD973x further simplifies this high speed data capture problem with two adaptive closed-loop timing controllers.
One timing controller manages the LVDS data and data clock alignment (LVDS controller), and the other manages the LVDS data and DACCLK alignment (sync controller).
The LVDS controller locates the data transitions and delays the DATACLK_IN so that its transition is in the center of the valid data window. The sync controller manages the FIFO that moves data from the LVDS DATACLK_IN domain to the DACCLK domain.
Both controllers can operate in manual mode under external processor control, in surveillance mode where error conditions generate external interrupts, or in automatic mode where errors are automatically corrected.
The LVDS and sync controllers include moving average filtering for noise immunity and variable thresholds to control activity. Normally, the controllers are set to run in automatic mode, making any necessary adjustments without dropping or dupli-cating samples sent to the DAC. Both controllers require initial calibration prior to entering automatic update mode.
The AD973x analog output changes 35 DACCLK cycles after the input data changes in 1× mode with the FIFO disabled. The FIFO adds up to eight additional cycles of delay. This delay is read from the SPI port. Internal clock delay variation is less than a single DACCLK cycle at 1.2 GHz (833 ps).
Stopping the AD973x DATACLK_IN while the DACCLK is still running can lead to unpredictable output signals. This occurs because the internal digital signal path is interleaved. The last two samples clocked into the DAC continue to be clocked out by DACCLK even after DATACLK_IN has stopped. The result-ing output signal is at a frequency of one-half fDAC, and the amplitude depends on the difference between the last two samples.
Control of the AD973x functions is via the serially programmed registers listed in Table 9. Optionally, a limited number of func-tions can be directly set by external pins in pin mode.

SERIAL PERIPHERAL INTERFACE The AD973x serial port is a flexible, synchronous serial communications port, allowing easy interface to many industry-standard microcontrollers and microprocessors. The serial I/O is compatible with most synchronous transfer formats, including both the Motorola SPI® and Intel® SSR protocols. The interface allows read/write access to all registers that configure the AD973x. Single- or multiple-byte transfers are supported, as well as most significant bit first (MSB-first) or least significant bit first (LSB-first) transfer formats. The AD973x serial interface port can be configured as a single pin I/O (SDIO) or two unidirectional pins for in/out (SDIO/SDO).

Figure 68. AD973x SPI Port
The AD973x can optionally be configured via external pins rather than the serial interface. When the PIN_MODE input (Pin L1) is high, the serial interface is disabled and its pins are reassigned for direct control of the DAC. Specific functionality is described in the Pin Mode Operation section.
GENERAL OPERATION OF THE SERIAL INTERFACE There are two phases to a communication cycle with the AD973x. Phase 1 is the instruction cycle, which is the writing of an instruction byte into the AD973x, coincident with the first eight SCLK rising edges. The instruction byte provides the AD973x serial port controller with information regarding the data transfer cycle, which is Phase 2 of the communication cycle. The Phase 1 instruction byte defines whether the upcoming data transfer is read or write, the number of bytes in the data transfer, and the starting register address for the first byte of the data transfer. The first eight SCLK rising edges of each communication cycle are used to write the instruction byte into the AD973x.
The remaining SCLK edges are for Phase 2 of the communica-tion cycle. Phase 2 is the actual data transfer between the AD973x and the system controller. Phase 2 of the communica-tion cycle is a transfer of 1, 2, 3, or 4 data bytes as determined by the instruction byte. Using one multibyte transfer is the preferred method. Single-byte data transfers are useful to reduce CPU overhead when register access requires one byte only. Registers change immediately upon writing to the last bit of each transfer byte.
CSB (Chip Select) can be raised after each sequence of 8 bits (except the last byte) to stall the bus. The serial transfer resumes when CSB is lowered. Stalling on nonbyte boundaries resets the SPI.
SHORT INSTRUCTION MODE (8-BIT INSTRUCTION) The short instruction byte is shown in the following table:
MSB LSB I7 I6 I5 I4 I3 I2 I1 I0 R/W N1 N0 A4 A3 A2 A1 A0
R/W, Bit 7 of the instruction byte, determines whether a read or a write data transfer occurs after the instruction byte write. Logic high indicates read operation. Logic 0 indicates a write operation. N1, N0, Bit 6, and Bit 5 of the instruction byte determine the number of bytes to be transferred during the data transfer cycle. The bit decodes are shown in Table 20.
A4, A3, A2, A1, A0, Bit 4, Bit 3, Bit 2, Bit 1, and Bit 0 of the instruction byte, determine which register is accessed during the data transfer portion of the communications cycle. For multibyte transfers, this address is the starting byte address. The remaining register addresses are generated by the AD973x, based on the LSBFIRST bit (Reg. 0, Bit 6).
Table 20. Byte Transfer Count N1 N2 Description 0 0 Transfer 1 byte 0 1 Transfer 2 bytes 1 0 Transfer 3 bytes 1 1 Transfer 4 bytes
LONG INSTRUCTION MODE (16-BIT INSTRUCTION) The long instruction bytes are shown in the following table:
MSB LSB I15 I14 I13 I12 I11 I10 I9 I8 R/W N1 N0 A12 A11 A10 A9 A8 I7 I6 I5 I4 I3 I2 I1 I0 A7 A6 A5 A4 A3 A2 A1 A0
If LONG_INS = 1 (Reg. 0, Bit 4), the instruction byte is extended to 2 bytes where the second byte provides an additional 8 bits of address information. Address 0x00 to Address 0x1F are equivalent in short and long instruction modes. The AD973x does not use any addresses greater than 31 (0x1F), so always set LONG_INS = 0.
SERIAL INTERFACE PORT PIN DESCRIPTIONS SCLK—Serial Clock
The serial clock pin is used to synchronize data to and from the AD973x and to run the internal state machines. The maximum frequency of SCLK is 20 MHz. All data input to the AD973x is registered on the rising edge of SCLK. All data is driven out of the AD973x on the rising edge of SCLK.
Data Sheet AD9734/AD9735/AD9736
Rev. B | Page 37 of 72
CSB—Chip Select
Active low input starts and gates a communication cycle. It allows more than one device to be used on the same serial communications lines. The SDO and SDIO pins go to a high impedance state when this input is high. Chip select should stay low during the entire communication cycle.
SDIO—Serial Data I/O
Data is always written into the AD973x on this pin. However, this pin can be used as a bidirectional data line. The configu-ration of this pin is controlled by SDIO_DIR at Reg. 0, Bit 7. The default is Logic 0, which configures the SDIO pin as unidirectional.
SDO—Serial Data Out
Data is read from this pin for protocols that use separate lines for transmitting and receiving data. In the case where the AD973x operates in a single bidirectional I/O mode, this pin does not output data and is set to a high impedance state.
MSB/LSB TRANSFERS The AD973x serial port can support both MSB-first or LSB-first data formats. This functionality is controlled by LSBFIRST at Reg. 0, Bit 6. The default is MSB first (LSBFIRST = 0).
When LSBFIRST = 0 (MSB first), the instruction and data bytes must be written from the most significant bit to the least significant bit. Multibyte data transfers in MSB-first format start with an instruction byte that includes the register address of the most significant data byte. Subsequent data bytes should follow in order from high address to low address. In MSB-first mode, the serial port internal byte address generator decrements for each data byte of the multibyte communication cycle.
When LSBFIRST = 1 (LSB first), the instruction and data bytes must be written from least significant bit to most significant bit. Multibyte data transfers in LSB-first format start with an instruction byte that includes the register address of the least significant data byte followed by multiple data bytes. The serial port internal byte address generator increments for each byte of the multibyte communication cycle.
The AD973x serial port controller data address decrements from the data address written toward 0x00 for multibyte I/O operations if the MSB-first mode is active. The serial port controller address increments from the data address written toward 0x1F for multibyte I/O operations if the LSB-first mode is active.
NOTES ON SERIAL PORT OPERATION The AD973x serial port configuration is controlled by Reg. 0, Bit 4, Bit 5, Bit 6, and Bit 7. Note that the configuration changes immediately upon writing to the last bit of the register.
For multibyte transfers, writing to this register can occur during the middle of the communication cycle. Care must be taken to compensate for this new configuration for the remaining bytes of the current communication cycle. The same considerations apply to setting the software reset, RESET (Reg. 0, Bit 5). All registers are set to their default values except Reg. 0 and Reg. 4, which remain unchanged.
Use of only single-byte transfers when changing serial port configurations or initiating a software reset is highly recommended. In the event of unexpected programming sequences, the AD973x SPI can become inaccessible. For example, if user code inadvertently changes the LONG_INS bit or the LSBFIRST bit, the following bits experience unexpected results. The SPI can be returned to a known state by writing an incomplete byte (1 to 7 bits) of all 0s followed by 3 bytes of 0x00. This returns to MSB-first short instructions (Reg. 0 = 0x00), so the device can be reinitialized.

After the last instruction bit is written to the SDIO pin, the driving signal must be set to a high impedance in time for the bus to turn around. The serial output data from the AD973x is enabled by the falling edge of SCLK. This causes the first output data bit to be shorter than the remaining data bits, as shown in Figure 74.
To assure proper reading of data, read the SDIO or SDO pin prior to changing the SCLK from low to high. Due to the more complex multibyte protocol, multiple AD973x devices cannot be daisy-chained on the SPI bus. Multiple DACs should be controlled by independent CSB signals.
PIN MODE OPERATION When the PIN_MODE input (Pin L1) is set high, the SPI port is disabled. The SPI port pins are remapped, as shown in Table 21. The function of these pins is described in Table 22. The remain-ing PIN_MODE register settings are shown in Table 9.

Care must be taken when using PIN_MODE because only the control bits shown in Table 22 can be changed. If the remaining register default values are not suitable for the desired operation, PIN_MODE cannot be used. If the FIFO is enabled, the controller clock must be less than 10 MHz. This limits the DAC clock to 160 MHz.
RESET OPERATION The RESET pin forces all SPI register contents to their default values (see Table 9), which places the DAC in a known state. The software reset bit forces all SPI register contents, except Reg. 0 and Reg. 4, to their default values.
The internal reset signal is derived from a logical OR operation on the RESET pin state and from the software reset state. This internal reset signal drives all SPI registers to their default values, except Reg. 0 and Reg. 4, which are unaffected. The data registers are not affected by either reset.
The software reset is asserted by writing 1 to Reg. 0, Bit 5. It may be cleared on the next SPI write cycle or a later write cycle.
PROGRAMMING SEQUENCE The AD973x registers should be programmed in this order:
1. Reset hardware. 2. Make changes to SPI port configuration, if necessary. 3. Input format, if unsigned. 4. Interpolation, if in 2× mode. 5. Calibrate and set the LVDS controller. 6. Enable the FIFO. 7. Calibrate and set the sync controller.
Step 1 through Step 4 are required, while Step 5 through Step 7 are optional. The LVDS controller can help assure proper data reception in the DAC with changes in temperature and voltage. The sync controller manages the FIFO to assure proper transfer of the received data to the DAC core with changes in temperature and voltage. The DAC is intended to operate with both controllers active unless data and clock alignment is managed externally.

INTERPOLATION FILTER In 2× mode, the input data is interpolated by a factor of 2 so that it aligns with the DAC update rate. The interpolation filter is a hard-coded, 55-tap, symmetric FIR with a 0.001 dB pass-band flatness and a stop-band attenuation of about 90 dB. The transition band runs from 20% of fDAC to 30% of fDAC. The FIR response is shown in Figure 75 where the frequency axis is normalized to fDAC. Figure 76 shows the pass-band flatness and Table 23 shows the 16-bit filter coefficients.

DATA INTERFACE CONTROLLERS Two internal controllers are utilized in the operation of the AD973x. The first controller helps maintain optimum LVDS data sampling; the second controller helps maintain optimum synchronization between the DACCLK and the incoming data. The LVDS controller is responsible for optimizing the sampling of the data from the LVDS bus (DB13:0), while the sync controller resolves timing problems between the DAC_CLK (CLK+, CLK−) and the DATACLK. A block diagram of these controllers is shown in Figure 77.

Figure 77. Data Controllers
The controllers are clocked with a divided-down version of the DAC_CLK. The divide ratio is set utilizing the controller clock predivider bits (CCD<3:0>) located at Reg. 22, Bits 3:0 to generate the controller clock as follows:
Controller Clock = DAC_CLK/(2^(CCD<3:0> + 4))
Note that the controller clock cannot exceed 10 MHz for correct operation. Until CCD<3:0> is properly programmed to meet this requirement, the DAC output may not be stable. This means the FIFO cannot be enabled in PIN_MODE unless the DACCLK is less than 160 MHz.

Rev. B | Page 40 of 72
The LVDS and sync controllers are independently operated in three modes via SPI port Reg. 6 and Reg. 8:
Manual mode Surveillance mode Auto mode
In manual mode, all of the timing measurements and updates are externally controlled via the SPI.
In surveillance mode, each controller takes measurements and calculates a new optimal value continuously. The result of the measurement is passed through an averaging filter before evaluating the results for increased noise immunity. The filtered result is compared to a threshold value set via Reg. 6 and Reg. 8 of the SPI port. If the error is greater than the threshold, an interrupt is triggered and the controller stops.
Reg. 1 of the SPI port controls the interrupts with Bit 3 and Bit 2 enabling the respective interrupts and Bit 7 and Bit 6 indicating the respective controller interrupt. If an interrupt is enabled, it also activates the AD973x IRQ pin. To clear an interrupt, the interrupt enable bit of the respective controller must be set to 0 for at least 1 controller clock cycle (controller clock <10 MHz).
Auto mode is almost identical to surveillance mode. Instead of triggering an interrupt and stopping the controller, the controller automatically updates its settings to the newly calculated optimal value and continues to run.
LVDS SAMPLE LOGIC A simplified diagram of the AD973x LVDS data sampling engine is shown in Figure 78 and the timing diagram is shown in Figure 79.
The incoming LVDS data is latched by the data sampling signal (DSS), which is derived from DATACLK_IN. The LVDS controller delays DATACLK_IN to create the data sampling signal (DSS), which is adjusted to sample the LVDS data in the center of the valid data window. The skew between the DATACLK_IN and the LVDS data bits (DB<13:0>) must be minimal for proper operation. Therefore, it is recommended that the DATACLK_IN be generated in the same manner as the LVDS data bits (DB<13:0>) with the same driver and data lines (that is, it should just be another LVDS data bit running a constant 01010101… sequence, as shown in Figure 96).
If the DATACLK_IN signal is stopped, the DACCLK continues to generate an output signal based on the last two values clocked into the registers that drive D1 and D2, as shown in Figure 78. If these two registers are not equal, a large output at a frequency of one-half fDAC can be generated at the DAC output.

Figure 79. Internal LVDS Data Sampling Logic Timing
LVDS SAMPLE LOGIC CALIBRATION The internal DSS delay must be calibrated to optimize the data sample timing. Once calibrated, the AD973x generates an IRQ or automatically corrects its timing if temperature or voltage variations change the timing too much. This calibration is done using the delayed clock sampling signal (CSS) to sample the delayed clock signal (DCS). The LVDS sampling logic finds the edges of the DATACLK_IN signal and, from this measurement, the center of the valid data window is located.
The internal delay line that derives the delayed DSS from DATACLK_IN is controlled by SD3:0 (Reg. 5, Bits 7:4), while the DCS is controlled by MSD3:0 (Reg. 4, Bits 7:4), and the CSS is controlled by MHD3:0 (Reg. 4, Bits 3:0).
DATACLK_IN transitions must be time aligned with the LVDS data (DB<13:0>) transitions. This allows the CSS, derived from the DATACLK_IN, to find the valid data window of DB<13:0> by locating the DATACLK_IN edges. The latching (rising) edge of CSS is initially placed using Bits SD<3:0> and can then be shifted to the left using MSD<3:0> and to the right using MHD<3:0>. When CSS samples the DCS and the result is 1 (which can be read back via the check bit at Reg. 5, Bit 0), the sampling occurs in the correct data cycle.

Rev. B | Page 41 of 72
To find the leading edge of the data cycle, increment the measured setup delay until the check bit goes low. To find the trailing edge, increment the measured hold delay (MHD) until check goes low. Always set MHD = 0 when incrementing MSD and vice versa.
The incremental units of SD, MSD, and MHD are in units of real time, not fractions of a clock cycle. The nominal step size is 80 ps.
OPERATING THE LVDS CONTROLLER IN MANUAL MODE VIA THE SPI PORT The manual operation of the LVDS controller allows the user to step through both the setup and hold delays to calculate the optimal sampling delay (that is, the center of the data eye).
With SD<3:0> and MHD<3:0> set to 0, increment the setup time delay (MSD<3:0>, Reg. 4, Bits 7:4) until the check bit (Reg. 5, Bit 0) goes low and record this value. This locates the leading DATACLK_IN (and data) transition, as shown in Figure 80.
With SD<3:0> and MSD<3:0> set to 0, increment the hold time delay (MHD<3:0>, Reg. 4, Bits 3:0) until the check bit (Reg. 5, Bit 0) goes low and record this value. This locates the trailing DATACLK_IN (and DB<13:0>) transition, as shown in Figure 81.
Once both DATACLK_IN edges are located, the sample delay (SD<3:0>, Reg. 5, Bits 7:4) must be updated by
Sample Delay = (MHD − MSD)/2
After updating SD<3:0>, verify that the sampling signal is in the middle of the valid data window by adjusting both MHD and MSD with the new sample delay until the check bit goes low. The new MHD and MSD values should be equal to or within one unit delay if SD<3:0> was set correctly.
MHD and MSD may not be equal to or within one unit delay if the external clock jitter and noise exceeds the internal delay resolution. Differences of 2, 3, or more are possible and can require more filtering to provide stable operation.
The sample delay calibration should be performed prior to enabling surveillance mode or auto mode.

OPERATING THE LVDS CONTROLLER IN SURVEILLANCE AND AUTO MODE In surveillance mode, the controller searches for the edges of the data eye in the same manner as in the manual mode of operation and triggers an interrupt if the clock sampling signal (CSS) has moved more than the threshold value set by LTRH<1:0> (Reg. 6, Bits 1:0).
There is an internal filter that averages the setup and hold time measurements to filter out noise and glitches on the clock lines.
Average Value = (MHD – MSD)/2 New Average = Average Value + (Δ Average/2 ^ LFLT<3:0>)
If an accumulating error in the average value causes it to exceed the threshold value (LTHR<1:0>), an interrupt is issued.
The maximum allowable value for LFLT<3:0> is 12. If LFLT<3:0> is too small, clock jitter and noise can cause erratic behavior. In most cases, LFLT can be set to the maximum value.
In surveillance mode, the ideal sampling point should first be found using manual mode and then applied to the sample delay registers. Set the threshold and filter values depending on how far the CSS signal is allowed to drift before an interrupt occurs. Then, set the surveillance bit high (Reg. 6, Bit 7) and monitor the interrupt signal either via the SPI port (Reg. 1, Bit 7) or the IRQ pin.
In auto mode, follow the same steps to set up the sample delay, threshold, and filter length. To run the controller in auto mode, both the LAUTO (Reg. 6, Bit 6) and LSURV (Reg. 6, Bit 7) bits need to be set to 1. In auto mode, the LVDS interrupt should be set low (Reg. 1, Bit 3) to allow the sample delay to be automati-cally updated if the threshold value is exceeded.

SYNC LOGIC AND CONTROLLER A FIFO structure is utilized to synchronize the data transfer between the DACCLK and the DATACLK_IN clock domains. The sync controller writes data from DB<13:0> into an 8-word memory register based on a cyclic write counter clocked by the DSS, which is a delayed version of DACCLK_IN. The data is read out of the memory based on a second cyclic read counter clocked by DACCLK. The 8-word FIFO shown in Figure 82 provides sufficient margin to maintain proper timing under most conditions. The sync logic is designed to prevent the read and write pointers from crossing. If the timing drifts far enough to require an update of the phase offset (PHOF<1:0>), two samples are duplicated or dropped. Figure 83 shows the timing diagram for the sync logic.

Figure 82. Sync Logic Block Diagram
SYNC LOGIC AND CONTROLLER OPERATION The relationship between the readout pointer and the write pointer initially is unknown because the startup relationship between DACCLK and DATACLK_IN is unknown. The sync logic measures the relative phase between the two counters with the zero detect block and the flip-flop in Figure 82. The relative phase is returned in FIFOSTAT<2:0> (Reg. 7, Bits 6:4), and sync logic errors are indicated by FIFOSTAT<3> (Reg. 7, Bit 7). If FIFOSTAT<2:0> returns a value of 0 or 7, the memory is sampling in a critical state (read and write pointers are close to crossing).
If the FIFOSTAT<2:0> returns a value of 3 or 4, the memory is sampling at the optimal state (read and write pointers are farthest apart). If FIFOSTAT<2:0> returns a critical value, the pointer can be adjusted with the phase offset PHOF<1:0> (Reg. 7, Bits 1:0). Due to the architecture of the FIFO, the phase offset can only adjust the read pointer in steps of 2.
OPERATION IN MANUAL MODE To start operating the DAC in manual mode, allow DACCLK and DATACLK_IN to stabilize, then enable FIFO mode (Reg. 0, Bit 2). Read FIFOSTAT<2:0> (Reg. 7, Bits 6:4) to determine if adjustment is needed. For example, if FIFOSTAT<2:0> = 6, the timing is not yet critical, but it is not optimal.
To return to an optimal state (FIFOSTAT<2:0> = 4), the PHOF<1:0> (Reg. 7, Bits 1:0) needs to be set to 1. Setting PHOF<1:0> = 1 effectively increments the read pointer by 2. This causes the write pointer value to be captured two clocks later, decreasing FIFOSTAT<2:0> from 6 to 4.
OPERATION IN SURVEILLANCE AND AUTO MODES Once FIFOSTAT<2:0> is manually placed in an optimal state, the AD973x sync logic can run in surveillance or auto mode. To start, turn on surveillance mode by setting SSURV = 1 (Reg. 8, Bit 7), then enable the sync interrupt (Reg. 1, Bit 2). If STRH<0> = 0 (Reg. 8, Bit 0), an interrupt occurs if FIFOSTAT<2:0> = 0 or 7. If STRH<0> = 1 (Reg. 8, Bit 0), an interrupt occurs if FIFOSTAT<2:0> = 0, 1, 6, or 7. The interrupt is read at Reg. 1, Bit 6 at the AD973x IRQ pin.
To enter auto mode, complete the preceding steps then set SAUTO = 1 (Reg. 8, Bit 6). Next, set the sync interrupt = 0 (Reg. 1, Bit 2), to allow the phase offset (PHOF<1:0>) to be automatically updated if FIFOSTAT<2:0> violates the threshold value. The FIFOSTAT signal is filtered to improve noise immunity and reduce unnecessary phase offset updates. The filter operates with the following algorithm:
FIFOSTAT = FIFOSTAT + ΔFIFOSTAT/2 ^ SFLT<3:0>
where:
0 ≤ SFLT<3:0> ≤ 12
Values greater than 12 are set to 12. If SFLT<3:0> is too small, clock jitter and noise can cause erratic behavior. Normally, SFLT can be set to the maximum value.
FIFO BYPASS When the FIFO_MODE bit (Reg. 1, Bit 2) is set to 0, the FIFO is bypassed with a mux. When the FIFO is enabled, the pipeline delay through the AD973x increases by the delta between the FIFO read pointer and write pointer plus 4 more clock periods.

DIGITAL BUILT-IN SELF TEST (BIST) OVERVIEW The AD973x includes an internal signature generator that processes incoming data to create unique signatures. These signatures are read back from the SPI port, allowing verification of correct data transfer into the AD973x. BIST vectors provided on the AD973x-EB evaluation board CD check the full width data input or individual bits for PCB debug, utilizing the procedure in the AD973x BIST Procedure section. Alterna-tively, any vector can be used provided the expected signature is calculated in advance.
The MATLAB® routine, in the Generating Expected Signatures section, calculates the expected signature. BIST verifies correct data transfer because not all errors are always evident on a spectrum analyzer. There are four BIST signature generators that can be read back using Reg. 18 to Reg. 21, based on the setting of the BIST selection bits (Reg. 17, Bits 7:6), as shown in Table 24. The BIST signature returned from the AD973x depends on the digital input during the test. Because the filters in the DAC have memory, it is important to put the correct idle value on the DATA input to flush the memory prior to reading the BIST signature.
Placing the idle value on the data input also allows the BIST to be set up while the DAC clock is running. The idle value should be all 0s in unsigned mode (0x0000) and all 0s except for the MSB in twos complement mode (0x2000).
The BIST consists of two stages; the first stage is after the LVDS receiver and the second stage is after the FIFO. The first BIST stage verifies correct sampling of the data from the LVDS bus while the second BIST stage verifies correct synchronization between the DAC_CLK domain and the DATACLK_IN domain. The BIST vector is generated using 32-bit LFSR signature logic. Because the internal architecture is a 2-bus parallel system, there are two 32-bit LFSR signature logic blocks on both the LVDS and SYNC blocks. Figure 84 shows where the LVDS and SYNC phases are located.

AD973x BIST PROCEDURE 1. Set RESET pin = 1. 2. Set input DATA = 0x0000 for unsigned (0x2000 for twos
complement). 3. Enable DATACLK_IN if it is not already running. 4. Run for at least 16 DATACLK_IN cycles. 5. Set RESET pin = 0. 6. Run for at least 16 DATACLK_IN cycles. 7. Set RESET pin = 1. 8. Run for at least 16 DATACLK_IN cycles. 9. Set RESET pin = 0. 10. Set desired operating mode (1× mode and signed data are
default values and expected for the supplied BIST vectors).
11. Set CLEAR (Reg. 17, Bit 0), SYNC_EN (Reg. 17, Bit 1), and LVDS_EN (Reg. 17, Bit 2) high.
12. Wait 50 DATACLK_IN cycles to allow 0s to propagate through and clear sync signatures.
13. Set CLEAR low. 14. Read all signature registers (Reg. 21, Reg. 20, Reg. 19, and
Reg. 18) for each of the four SEL (Reg. 17, Bits 7:6) values and verify they are all 0x00.
LVDS Phase 1 a. Reg. 17 set to 0x26 (SEL1 = 0, SEL0 = 0,
SIG_READ = 1, LVDS_EN = 1, SYNC_EN = 1). b. Read Reg. 20, Reg. 19, Reg. 18, and Reg. 17.
LVDS Phase 2 a. Reg. 17 set to 0x66 (SEL1= 0, SEL0 = 1,
SIG_READ = 1, LVDS_EN = 1, SYNC_EN = 1). b. Read Reg. 20, Reg. 19, Reg. 18, and Reg. 17.
SYNC Phase 1 a. Reg. 17 set to 0xA6 (SEL1= 1, SEL0 = 0,
SIG_READ = 1, LVDS_EN = 1, SYNC_EN = 1). b. Read Reg. 20, Reg. 19, Reg. 18, and Reg. 17.
SYNC Phase 2 a. Reg. 17 set to 0xE6 (SEL1= 1, SEL0 = 1,
SIG_READ = 1, LVDS_EN = 1, SYNC_EN = 1). b. Read Reg. 20, Reg. 19, Reg. 18, and Reg. 17.
15. Clock the BIST vector into the AD973x. 16. After the BIST vector is clocked into the part, hold DATA =
0x0000 for unsigned (0x2000 for twos complement); otherwise, the additional nonzero data changes the signature.
17. Read all signature registers (Reg. 21, Reg. 20, Reg. 19, and Reg. 18, as described in Step 14 ) for each of the four SEL (Reg. 17, Bits 7:6) values, and verify that they match the expected signatures shown in Table 25.
18. Flush the BIST circuitry. This must be done once before valid data can be read. Loop back to Step 11 and rerun the test to obtain the correct result.
19. Each time BIST mode is entered, this flush needs to be performed once. Multiple BIST runs can be performed without reflushing as long as the device remains in BIST mode.
AD973x EXPECTED BIST SIGNATURES The BIST vectors provided on the AD973x-EB CD are in signed mode, so no programming is necessary for the part to pass the BIST. The BIST vector is for 1×, no FIFO, and signed data.
For testing all 14 input bits, use the vector all_bits_unsnew.txt and verify against the signatures in Table 25.

GENERATING EXPECTED SIGNATURES The following MATLAB code duplicates the internal logic of the AD973x. To use it, save this code in a file called bist.m. --- begin bist.m --- function [ ret1 , ret2] = bist(vec) ret1 = bist1(vec(1:2:length(vec)-1)); ret2 = bist1(vec(2:2:length(vec))); function ret = bist1(v) sum = zeros(1,32); for i = 1 :length(v) if v(i) ~= 0 su(1) = ~xor(sum(32) ,bitget(v(i),1)); su(2) = ~xor(sum(1) ,bitget(v(i),2)); su(3) = ~xor(sum(2) ,bitget(v(i),3)); su(4) = ~xor(sum(3) ,bitget(v(i),4)); su(5) = ~xor(sum(4) ,bitget(v(i),5)); su(6) = ~xor(sum(5) ,bitget(v(i),6)); su(7) = ~xor(sum(6) ,bitget(v(i),7)); su(8) = ~xor(sum(7) ,bitget(v(i),8)); su(9) = ~xor(sum(8) ,bitget(v(i),9)); su(10) = ~xor(sum(9) ,bitget(v(i),10)); su(11) = ~xor(sum(10) ,bitget(v(i),11)); su(12) = ~xor(sum(11) ,bitget(v(i),12)); su(13) = ~xor(sum(12) ,bitget(v(i),13)); su(14) = ~xor(sum(13) ,bitget(v(i),14)); su(15) = sum(14); su(16) = sum(15); su(17) = sum(16); su(18) = sum(17); su(19) = sum(18); su(20) = sum(19); su(21) = sum(20); su(22) = sum(21); su(23) = sum(22); su(24) = sum(23); su(25) = sum(24); su(26) = sum(25); su(27) = sum(26); su(28) = sum(27); su(29) = sum(28); su(30) = sum(29); su(31) = sum(30); su(32) = sum(31); sum = su; end end % for ret = dec2hex( 2.^[0:31]* sum',8); --- end bist.m ---
To generate the expected BIST signatures, follow this procedure:
1. Start MATLAB and type the following at the command prompt:
t = round(randn(1,100) × 213/8+213) ; [ b1 b2 ] = bist(t)
2. The first statement creates a random vector of 14-bit words, with a length of 100.
3. Set t equal to any desired vector, or take this random vector and input it to the AD973x.
4. Alter the command randn(1,100) to change the vector length as desired.
5. Type b1 at the command line to see the calculated signature for the LVDS BIST, Phase 1.
6. Type b2 to see the value for LVDS BIST, Phase 2.
The values returned for b1 and b2 each are 32-bit hex values. They correspond to Reg. 18, Reg. 19, Reg. 20, and Reg. 21, where b1 is the value read for SEL<1:0> = 0, 0 (see Table 17) and b2 is the value read for SEL<1:0> = 0, 1.
When the DAC is in 1× mode, the signature at SYNC BIST, Phase 1 should equal the signature at LVDS BIST, Phase 1. The same is true for Phase 2.

CROSS CONTROLLER REGISTERS The AD973x differential output stage is adjustable to equalize the charge injection into the positive and negative outputs. This adjustment impacts certain performance characteristics, such as harmonic distortion or IMD. System performance can be en-hanced by adjusting the cross controller.
If the system is calibrated after manufacture, adjust the cross controller offsets to provide optimum performance. To start, increment DNDEL<5:0> (Reg. 11, Bits 5:0) while observing HD2 (second harmonic distortion) and/or IMD to find the desired optimum. If DNDEL does not influence the perform-ance, set it to 0 and increment UPDEL<5:0> (Reg. 10, Bits 5:0). Based on system characterization, set one of these controls to the maximum value to yield the best performance.
Figure 85 shows the effect of UPDEL and DNDEL.

ANALOG CONTROL REGISTERS The AD973x includes some registers for optimizing its analog performance. These registers include temperature trim for the band gap, noise reduction in the output current mirror, and output current mirror headroom adjustments.
BAND GAP TEMPERATURE CHARACTERISTIC TRIM BITS Using TRMBG<2:0> (Reg. 14, Bits 2:0), the temperature characteristic of the internal band gap can be trimmed to minimize the drift over temperature, as shown in Figure 86.

The temperature changes are sensitive to process variations, and Figure 86 may not be representative of all fabrication lots. Optimum adjustment requires measurement of the device operation at two temperatures and development of a trim algorithm to program the correct TRMBG<2:0> values in external nonvolatile memory.

Always connect a 10 kΩ resistor from the I120 pin to ground and use the digital controls to vary the full-scale current. The AD973x is not a multiplying DAC. Applying an analog signal to I120 is not supported.
VREF (Pin C14) must be bypassed to ground with a 1 nF capacitor. The band gap voltage is present on this pin and can be buffered for use in external circuitry. The typical output impedance is near 5 kΩ. If desired, an external reference can be used to overdrive the internal reference by connecting it to the VREF pin.
IPTAT (Pin D14) is used for factory testing. Leave this pin floating.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION DRIVING THE DACCLK INPUT The DACCLK input requires a low jitter differential drive signal. It is a PMOS input differential pair powered from the 1.8 V supply, so it is important to maintain the specified 400 mV input common-mode voltage. Each input pin can safely swing from 200 mV p-p to 800 mV p-p about the 400 mV common-mode voltage. While these input levels are not directly LVDS compatible, DACCLK can be driven by an offset ac-coupled LVDS signal, as shown in Figure 90.

If a clean sine clock is available, it can be transformer-coupled to DACCLK, as shown in Figure 107. Use of a CMOS or TTL clock can also be acceptable for lower sample rates.

DAC OUTPUT DISTORTION SOURCES The second harmonic is mostly due to an imbalance in the output load. The dc transfer characteristic of the DAC is capable of second harmonic distortion of at least −75 dBc. Output load imbalance or digital data noise coupling onto DACCLK causes additional second harmonic distortion.
The DAC architecture inherently generates third harmonics, the levels of which depend on the output frequency and amplitude generated. If any output signal is rectified and coupled back onto the DAC clock, it can generate additional third-harmonic energy.
The distortion components should be identical in amplitude and phase at both AD973x outputs. Even though each single-ended output includes a large amount of second-harmonic energy, a careful differential-to-single-ended conversion can remove most of it. Optimum performance at high intermediate frequency (IF) output is obtained with the output circuit shown in Figure 93.
This is the configuration implemented on the evaluation board (Figure 107). The 20 Ω series resistors allow the DAC to drive a less reactive load, which improves distortion. Further improvement is realized by adding the Balun T3 to help provide an equal load to both DAC outputs.

Because T1 has a differential input, but a single-ended output, Pin 4 of T1 has a higher capacitance to ground due to parasitics to Pin 3. T1 Pin 6 has lower parasitic capacitance to ground because it drives 50 Ω at Pin 1. This presents an unbalanced load to the DAC output, so T3 is added to improve the load balancing. Refer to Figure 107 for the transformer part numbers.

DC-COUPLED DAC OUTPUT In some cases, it may be desirable to dc-couple the AD973x output. The best method for doing this is shown in Figure 94. This circuit can be used with voltage or current feedback amplifiers. Because the DAC output current is driving a virtual ground, this circuit may offer enhanced settling times. The settling time is limited by the op amp rather than by the DAC. This circuit is intended for use where the amplifiers can be powered by a bipolar supply.

DAC DATA SOURCES The circuit shown in Figure 96 allows optimum data alignment when running the AD973x at full speed. This circuit can be easily implemented in the FPGA or ASIC used to drive the digital input. It is important to use the DATACLK_OUT signal because it helps to cancel some of the timing errors. In this configuration, DATACLK_OUT generates the DDR LVDS DATACLK_IN to drive the AD973x. The circuit aligns the DATACLK_IN and the digital input data (DB<13:0>) as required by the AD973x. The LVDS controller in the AD973x uses DATACLK_IN to generate the internal DSS to capture the incoming data in the center of the valid data window.

INPUT DATA TIMING The AD973x is intended to operate with the LVDS and sync controllers running to compensate for timing drift due to voltage and temperature variations. In this mode, the key to correct data capture is to present valid data for a minimum amount of time. The AD973x minimum valid data time is measured by increasing the input data rate to the point of failure. The nominal supply voltages are used and the temperature is set to the worst case of 85°C. The input data is verified via the BIST signature registers, because the DAC output does not run as fast as the input data logic. The following example explains how the minimum data valid period is calculated for the typical performance case.
These factors must be considered in determining the minimum valid data window at the receiver input:
• Data rise and fall times: 100 ps (rise + fall) • Internal clock jitter: 10 ps
(DATACLK_OUT + DATACLK_IN) • Bit-to-bit skew: 50 ps • Bit-to-DATACLK_IN skew: 50 ps • Internal data sampling signal resolution: 80 ps
For nominal silicon, the BIST typically indicates failure at 2.15 GSPS or a DACCLK period of 465 ps. The valid data window is calculated by subtracting all the other variables from the total data period:
Minimum Data Valid Time = DACCLK Period − Data Rise − Data Fall − Jitter − Bit-to-Bit Skew − Bit-to-DATACLK_IN Skew − Data Sampling Signal Resolution
For the 400 mV p-p LVDS signal case:
Minimum Data Valid = 465 ps − 100 ps − 10 ps − 50 ps − 80 ps = 465 ps − 240 ps = 225 ps
For correct data capture, the input data must be valid for 225 ps. Slower edges, more jitter, or more skew require an increase in the clock period to maintain the minimum data valid period. Table 27 shows the typical minimum data valid period (tMDE) for 400 mV p-p differential and 250 mV p-p differential LVDS swings.
The ability of the AD973x to capture incoming data is dependent on the speed of the silicon, which varies from lot to lot. The typical (or average) silicon speed operates with data that is valid for 225 ps at 85°C. Statistically, the worst extreme for slow silicon may require up to a 344 ps valid data period, as specified in Table 2.
Table 27. Typical Minimum Data Valid Times Differential Input Voltage
BIST Max fCLK
Min Clock Period
Typ Min Data Valid at Receiver
400 mV 2.15 GHz 465 ps 225 ps 250 mV 2.00 GHz 500 ps 260 ps
At 1.2 GHz, the typical 400 mV p-p minimum data valid period of 225 ps leaves 608 ps for external factors. Under the same conditions, the worst expected minimum data valid period of 344 ps leaves 489 ps for external data uncertainty.
The 100 mV LVDS VOD threshold test is a dc test to verify that the input logic state changes. It does not indicate the operating speed. The ability of the receiver to recover the data depends on the input signal overdrive. With a 250 mV input, there is a 150 mV overdrive, and with a 400 mV signal, there is a 300 mV overdrive. The relationship between overdrive level and timing is very nonlinear. Higher levels of overdrive result in smaller minimum valid data windows.
For typical silicon, decreasing the LVDS swing from 400 mV p-p to 250 mV p-p requires the minimum data valid period to increase by 15%. This is illustrated in Figure 100.

SYNCHRONIZATION TIMING When more than one AD973x must be synchronized or when a constant group delay must be maintained, the internal controllers cannot be used. If the FIFO is enabled, the delay between multiple AD973x devices is unknown. If the DATACLK_OUT from multiple devices is used, there is an uncertainty of two DACCLK periods because the initial phase of DATACLK_OUT with respect to DACCLK cannot be controlled. This means one DAC must be used to provide DATACLK_OUT for all synchronized DACs and all timing must be externally managed. The following timing information allows system timing to be calculated so that multiple AD973xs can be synchronized.
DATACLK_OUT changes relative to the rising edge of DACCLK+ and is delayed, as shown in Figure 101. Because DACCLK is divided by 2 to create DATACLK_OUT, the phase of DATACLK_OUT can be 0° or 180°. There is no way to predict or control this relationship. It can be different after each power cycle and is not affected by hardware or software resets.

The incoming data is de-interleaved internally as shown in Figure 78. In Figure 78, DBU (upper) and DBL (lower) represent the de-interleaved data paths. Each edge of DATACLK_IN latches an incoming sample in two alternating registers. The DATACLK_IN to data setup and hold definitions are illustrated in Figure 102. All the data input must be valid during the setup-and-hold period. External skew effectively increases the setup and hold times that the data source must meet.

While correct DATA_IN vs. DATACLK_IN timing is critical, the transition of the incoming data to the DACCLK domain is equally critical. By referencing the incoming DATA and DATACLK_IN timing to the DATACLK_OUT signal, some timing uncertainty can be removed. The DATACLK_OUT timing very closely tracks the timing of the DACCLK-controlled registers. Any variation in the path delay affects both paths in almost the same way. If DATACLK_OUT is not used, the full DACCLK to DATACLK_OUT path variation reduces the external timing margin. Figure 101 shows a simplified view of the internal clocking scheme with the relevant delay paths.
The internal architecture is interleaved such that each phase has twice as long to make the transition across the clock domains. This results in an extremely narrow window where the incoming data must be held stable.
Table 28 shows the timing parameters for Figure 101 and Figure 102. These parameters were measured for a sample of five devices from five silicon lots. Worst-case fast and slow skew lots were included in addition to the nominal (or average) lot. The typical −40°C to typical +85°C spread illustrates the variability with temperature for a single lot. Adding in lot-to-lot variation with the fast and slow lots indicates the worst-case spread in timing.
The timing varies such that all of the parameters move in the same direction. For example, if the DATACLK_IN to data setup time is fast, the hold time is similarly fast. The DACCLK to DATACLK_OUT delay and the DATACLK_OUT to data setup and hold is also at the fast end of the range.
Note that the polarities of setup-and-hold values in Table 28 conform to the standard convention of setup time occurring prior to the latching edge and hold time occurring after the latching edge, as shown in Figure 102.
