GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AD9912 is a direct digital synthesizer (DDS) that features
an integrated 14-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The
AD9912 features a 48-bit frequency tuning word (FTW) that
can synthesize frequencies in step sizes no larger than 4 μHz.
Absolute frequency accuracy can be achieved by adjusting the
DAC system clock.
The AD9912 also features an integrated system clock phase-
locked loop (PLL) that allows for system clock inputs as low
as 25 MHz.
The AD9912 operates over an industrial temperature range,
spanning −40°C to +85°C.

  • Page 16: Theory Of Operation

    LOGIC S1 TO S4 OVERVIEW The AD9912 is a high performance, low noise, 14-bit DDS clock synthesizer with integrated comparators for applications desiring an agile, finely tuned square or sinusoidal output signal. A digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) is implemented using a direct digital synthesizer (DDS) with an integrated output DAC, clocked by the system clock.
  • Page 17: Digital-To-Analog (Dac) Output

    = 19.44 MHz, then DAC_OUT RECONSTRUCTION FILTER The origin of the output clock signal produced by the AD9912 is the combined DDS and DAC. The DAC output signal appears as a sinusoid sampled at f determined by the frequency tuning word (FTW) that appears at the input to the DDS.
  • Page 18: Fdbk_In Inputs

    FDBK_IN INPUTS The FDBK_IN pins serve as the input to the comparators and output drivers of the AD9912. Typically, these pins are used to receive the signal generated by the DDS after it has been band- /2). It also contains limited by the external reconstruction filter.

  • Page 20 AD9912 SYSCLK PLL Multiplier When the SYSCLK PLL multiplier path is employed, the frequency applied to the SYSCLK input pins must be limited so as not to exceed the maximum input frequency of the SYSCLK PLL phase detector. A block diagram of the SYSCLK generator appears in Figure 45.
  • Page 21: Output Clock Drivers And 2× Frequency Multiplier

    AC Specifications section for the exact frequency limits. 2× Frequency Multiplier The AD9912 can be configured (via the I/O register map) with an internal 2× delay-locked loop (DLL) multiplier at the input of the primary clock driver. The extra octave of frequency gain allows the AD9912 to provide output clock frequencies that exceed the range available from the DDS alone.
  • Page 22: Changes To Figure 48

    AD9912 Although the worst spurs tend to be harmonic in origin, the fact that the DAC is part of a sampled system results in the possibility of spurs appearing in the output spectrum that are not harmoni- cally related to the fundamental. For example, if the DAC is sampled at 1 GHz and generates an output sinusoid of 170 MHz, the fifth harmonic would normally be at 850 MHz.

    AD9912 POWER-UP POWER-ON RESET On initial power-up, the AD9912 internally generates a 75 ns RESET pulse. The pulse is initiated when both of the following two conditions are met: • The 3.3 V supply is greater than 2.35 V ± 0.1 V.
  • Page 25: Changes To Power Supply Partitioning Section

    POWER SUPPLY PARTITIONING The AD9912 features multiple power supplies, and their power consumption varies with its configuration. This section covers which power supplies can be grouped together and how the power consumption of each block varies with frequency. The numbers quoted here are for comparison only. Refer to the Specifications section for exact numbers.

    If the instruction word is for a write operation (I15 = 0), the second part is the transfer of data into the serial control port buffer of the AD9912. The length of the transfer (1, 2, or 3 bytes, or streaming mode) is indicated by two bits ([W1:W0]) in the instruction byte.
  • Page 27: The Instruction Word (16 Bits)

    The AD9912 instruction word and byte data can be MSB first or LSB first. The default for the AD9912 is MSB first. The LSB first mode can be enabled by writing a 1 to the LSB first bit in the serial configuration register and then issuing an I/O update.

Register 0x01A6 is the least significant byte of the FTW. Note that the power-up default is defined by start-up Pin S1 to Pin S4.
