The AD9510 provides a multi-output clock distribution function
along with an on-chip phase-locked loop (PLL) core. The design
emphasizes low jitter and phase noise to maximize data converter
performance. Other applications with demanding phase noise
and jitter requirements also benefit from this device.
The PLL section consists of a programmable reference divider
(R); a low noise, phase frequency detector (PFD); a precision
charge pump (CP); and a programmable feedback divider (N).
By connecting an external voltage-controlled crystal oscillator
(VCXO) or voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) to the CLK2
and CLK2B pins, frequencies of up to 1.6 GHz can be synchronized
to the input reference.
There are eight independent clock outputs. Four outputs are low
voltage positive emitter-coupled logic (LVPECL) at 1.2 GHz,
and four are selectable as either LVDS (800 MHz) or CMOS
(250 MHz) levels.
Each output has a programmable divider that can be bypassed
or set to divide by any integer up to 32. The phase of one clock
output relative to another clock output can be varied by means
of a divider phase select function that serves as a coarse timing
adjustment. Two of the LVDS/CMOS outputs feature programmable
delay elements with full-scale ranges up to 8 ns of delay.
This fine tuning delay block has 5-bit resolution, giving 25
possible delays from which to choose for each full-scale setting
(Register 0x36 and Register 0x3A = 00000b to 11000b).
The AD9510 is ideally suited for data converter clocking
applications where maximum converter performance is
achieved by encode signals with subpicosecond jitter.
The AD9510 is available in a 64-lead LFCSP and can be operated
from a single 3.3 V supply. An external VCO, which requires an
extended voltage range, can be accommodated by connecting
the charge pump supply (VCP) to 5.5 V. The temperature range
is −40°C to +85°C.
