The AD9516-5 features six LVPECL outputs (in three pairs)
and four LVDS outputs (in two pairs). Each LVDS output can
be reconfigured as two CMOS outputs. The LVPECL outputs
operate to 1.6 GHz, the LVDS outputs operate to 800 MHz, and
the CMOS outputs operate to 250 MHz.
Each pair of outputs has dividers that allow both the divide ratio
and coarse delay (or phase) to be set. The range of division for
the LVPECL outputs is 1 to 32. The LVDS/CMOS outputs allow
a range of divisions up to a maximum of 1024.
The AD9516-5 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. A separate
LVPECL power supply can be from 2.375 V to 3.6 V (nominal).
The AD9516-5 is specified for operation over the industrial
range of −40°C to +85°C.
For applications requiring an integrated EEPROM, or needing
additional outputs, the AD9520-5 and AD9522-5 are available.

AD9516 is used throughout the data sheet to refer to all members of the AD9516
family. However, when AD9516-5 is used, it refers to that specific member of the
AD9516 family.

See the VCXO/VCO Feedback Divider N—P, A, B section
The REFIN and REFIN self-bias points are offset slightly to avoid chatter on an open input condition.
For reliable operation of the digital lock detect, the period of the PFD frequency must be greater than the unlock-after-lock time.

TERMINOLOGY
Phase Jitter and Phase Noise
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. This
phenomenon is called phase jitter. Although many causes can
contribute to phase jitter, one major cause is random noise,
which is characterized statistically as being Gaussian (normal)
in distribution.
This 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, dB) 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.
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 and can be readily 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.
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 units of 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 is
attributable to the device or subsystem being measured. The phase
noise of any external oscillators or clock sources is subtracted.
This makes 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 is attributable to
the device or subsystem being measured. The time jitter of any
external oscillators or clock sources is subtracted. 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.

OPERATIONAL CONFIGURATIONS
The AD9516 can be configured in several ways. These
configurations must be set up by loading the control registers
(see Table 47 and Table 48 through Table 57). Each section or
function must be individually programmed by setting the
appropriate bits in the corresponding control register or registers.
For clock distribution applications where the external clock is less
than 1600 MHz, use the register settings shown in Table 18.
Table 18. Settings for Clock Distribution < 1600 MHz
Register
0x010[1:0] = 01b
0x1E1[0] = 1b
Mode 1—Clock Distribution or External VCO < 1600 MHz
Mode 1 bypasses the VCO divider. Mode 1 can be used only
with an external clock source of <1600 MHz, due to the maximum
input frequency allowed at the channel dividers.
Description

When using the internal PLL with an external VCO of <1600 MHz,
the PLL must be turned on.

Description

PLL normal operation (PLL on) along with other
appropriate PLL settings in Register 0x010 to
Register 0x01E
An external VCO/VCXO requires an external loop filter that
must be connected between CP and the tuning pin of the VCO/
VCXO. This loop filter determines the loop bandwidth and
stability of the PLL. Ensure that the correct PFD polarity is
selected for the VCO/VCXO that is being used.
The register settings shown in Table 21 are the default values
of these registers at power-up or after a reset operation. If the
contents of the registers are altered by prior programming after
power-up or reset, these registers can also be set intentionally to
these values.

Description
PFD polarity positive (higher control voltage
produces higher frequency)
PFD polarity negative (higher control voltage
produces lower frequency)
After the appropriate register values are programmed,
Register 0x232 must be set to 0x01 for the values to take effect.
Mode 2 (High Frequency Clock Distribution)—CLK or
External VCO > 1600 MHz
The AD9516 power-up default configuration has the PLL
powered off and the routing of the input set so that the CLK/
CLK input is connected to the distribution section through the
VCO divider (divide-by-2/divide-by-3/divide-by-4/divide-by-5/
divide-by-6). This is a distribution-only mode that allows for an
external input of up to 2400 MHz (see Table 4). For divide ratios
other than 1, the maximum frequency that can be applied to the
channel dividers is 1600 MHz. Therefore, the VCO divider must
be used to divide down input frequencies that are greater than
1600 MHz before the channel dividers can be used for further
division. This input routing can also be used for lower input
frequencies, but the minimum divide is 2 before the channel
dividers.
0x1E1[1] = 0b
Description
PLL normal operation (PLL on).
PLL settings. Select and enable a reference
input. Set R, N (P, A, B), PFD polarity, and ICP
according to the intended loop configuration.
CLK selected as the source.
An external VCO requires an external loop filter that must be
connected between CP and the tuning pin of the VCO. This loop
filter determines the loop bandwidth and stability of the PLL.
Ensure that the correct PFD polarity is selected for the VCO
that is being used.
Table 23. Setting the PFD Polarity
Register
0x010[7] = 0b
0x010[7] = 1b
Description
PFD polarity positive (higher control
voltage produces higher frequency).
PFD polarity negative (higher control
voltage produces lower frequency).
After the appropriate register values are programmed,
Register 0x232 must be set to 0x01 for the values to take effect.
When the PLL is enabled, this routing also allows the use of
the PLL with an external VCO or VCXO with a frequency of
<2400 MHz. In this configuration, the external VCO/VCXO
feeds directly into the prescaler.

Figure 35. PLL Functional Blocks
The AD9516 includes on-chip PLL blocks that can be used with
an external VCO or VCXO to create a complete phase-locked
loop. The PLL requires an external loop filter, which usually
consists of a small number of capacitors and resistors. The
configuration and components of the loop filter help to establish
the loop bandwidth and stability of the PLL.
The AD9516 PLL is useful for generating clock frequencies from a
supplied reference frequency. This includes conversion of reference
frequencies to much higher frequencies for subsequent division
and distribution. In addition, the PLL can be exploited to clean up
jitter and phase noise on a noisy reference. The exact choices of
PLL parameters and loop dynamics are very application specific.
The flexibility and depth of the PLL allow the part to be tailored
to function in many different applications and signal environments.
Configuration of the PLL
Configuration of the PLL is accomplished by programming
the various settings for the R divider, N divider, PFD polarity,
and charge pump current. The combination of these settings
determines the PLL loop bandwidth. These are managed through
programmable register settings (see Table 47 and Table 49) and
by the design of the external loop filter. Successful PLL operation
and satisfactory PLL loop performance are highly dependent upon
proper configuration of the PLL settings.
The design of the external loop filter is crucial to the proper
operation of the PLL. A thorough knowledge of PLL theory and
design is helpful.
ADIsimCLK™ (V1.2 or later) is a free program that can help
with the design and exploration of the capabilities and features
of the AD9516, including the design of the PLL loop filter. It is
available at www.analog.com/clocks.
Phase Frequency Detector (PFD)
The PFD takes inputs from the R counter and N counter and
produces an output proportional to the phase and frequency
difference between them. The PFD includes a programmable
delay element that controls the width of the antibacklash pulse.
This pulse ensures that there is no dead zone in the PFD transfer
function and minimizes phase noise and reference spurs. The
antibacklash pulse width is set by Register 0x017[1:0].
An important limit to keep in mind is the maximum frequency
allowed into the PFD, which, in turn, determines the correct antibacklash pulse setting. The antibacklash pulse setting is specified
in the phase/frequency detector (PFD) parameter of Table 2.
Charge Pump (CP)
The charge pump is controlled by the PFD. The PFD monitors the
phase and frequency relationship between its two inputs, and tells
the CP to pump up or pump down to charge or discharge the
integrating node (part of the loop filter). The integrated and
filtered CP current is transformed into a voltage that drives the
tuning node of the external VCO to move the VCO frequency
up or down. The CP can be set (via Register 0x010[6:4]) for high
impedance (allows holdover operation), for normal operation
(attempts to lock the PLL loop), for pump-up, or for pump-down
(test modes). The CP current is programmable in eight steps from
(nominally) 600 μA to 4.8 mA.
The exact value of the CP current LSB is set by the CPRSET
resistor, which is nominally 5.1 kΩ. If the value of the resistor
connected to the CP_RSET pin is doubled, the resulting charge
pump current range becomes 300 μA to 2.4 mA.

AD9516-5
PLL External Loop Filter
An example of an external loop filter for a PLL is shown in
Figure 36. A loop filter must be calculated for each desired PLL
configuration. The values of the components depend on the VCO
frequency, the KVCO, the PFD frequency, the charge pump current,
the desired loop bandwidth, and the desired phase margin. The
loop filter affects the phase noise, loop settling time, and loop
stability. A basic knowledge of PLL theory is helpful for understanding loop filter design. ADIsimCLK can help with calculation
of a loop filter according to the application requirements.
In differential mode, the reference input pins are internally selfbiased so that they can be ac-coupled via capacitors. It is possible to
dc couple to these inputs. If the differential REFIN is driven by a
single-ended signal, the unused side (REFIN) should be decoupled
via a suitable capacitor to a quiet ground. Figure 37 shows the
equivalent circuit of REFIN.

PLL Reference Inputs
REF2
The AD9516 features a flexible PLL reference input circuit that
allows a fully differential input or two separate single-ended
inputs. The input frequency range for the reference inputs is
specified in Table 2. Both the differential and the single-ended
inputs are self-biased, allowing for easy ac coupling of input signals.
The differential input and the single-ended inputs share two
pins, REFIN (REF1) and REFIN (REF2). The desired reference
input type is selected and controlled by Register 0x01C (see
Table 47 and Table 49).
When the differential reference input is selected, the self-bias
level of the two sides is offset slightly (see Table 2) to prevent
chattering of the input buffer when the reference is slow or missing.
The specification for this voltage level is found in Table 2. The input
hysteresis increases the voltage swing required of the driver to
overcome the offset. The differential reference input can be driven
by either ac-coupled LVDS or ac-coupled LVPECL signals.
The single-ended inputs can be driven by either a dc-coupled
CMOS level signal or an ac-coupled sine wave or square wave.
Each single-ended input can be independently powered down
when not needed to increase isolation and reduce power. Either
a differential or a single-ended reference must be specifically
enabled. All PLL reference inputs are off by default.
The differential reference input is powered down whenever the
PLL is powered down, or when the differential reference input
is not selected. The single-ended buffers power down when the
PLL is powered down and when their individual power-down
registers are set. When the differential mode is selected, the
single-ended inputs are powered down.

Figure 37. REFIN Equivalent Circuit
Reference Switchover
The AD9516 supports dual single-ended CMOS inputs, as well as
a single differential reference input. In dual single-ended reference
mode, automatic and manual PLL reference clock switching
between REF1 (Pin REFIN) and REF2 (Pin REFIN) is supported.
This feature supports networking and other applications that
require smooth switching of redundant references. When used in
conjunction with the automatic holdover function, the AD9516
can achieve a worst-case reference input switchover with an
output frequency disturbance as low as 10 ppm.
When using reference switchover, the single-ended reference inputs
should be dc-coupled CMOS levels that are never allowed to go to
high impedance. If the inputs are allowed to go to high impedance,
noise may cause the buffer to chatter, causing false detection of
the presence of a reference. Reference switchover can be performed
manually or automatically. Manual switchover is performed
either through Register 0x01C or by using the REF_SEL pin.
Manual switchover requires the presence of a clock on the reference
input that is being switched to, or that the deglitching feature be
disabled (Register 0x01C[7]). The reference switching logic fails
if this condition is not met, and the PLL does not reacquire.
Rev. A | Page 29 of 76
AD9516-5
Automatic revertive switchover relies on the REFMON pin to
indicate when REF1 disappears. By programming Register 0x01B =
0xF7 and Register 0x01C = 0x26, the REFMON pin is programmed
to be high when REF1 is invalid, which commands the switch to
REF2. When REF1 is valid again, the REFMON pin goes low, and
the part again locks to REF1. The STATUS pin can also be used
for this function, and REF2 can be used as the preferred reference.
VCXO/VCO Feedback Divider N—P, A, B
A switchover deglitch feature ensures that the PLL does not receive
rising edges that are far out of alignment with the newly selected
reference. Automatic nonrevertive switching is not supported.
The prescaler of the AD9516 allows for two modes of operation:
a fixed divide (FD) mode of 1, 2, or 3, and a dual modulus (DM)
mode where the prescaler divides by P and (P + 1) {2 and 3, 4
and 5, 8 and 9, 16 and 17, or 32 and 33}. The prescaler modes
of operation are given in Table 49, Register 0x016[2:0]. Not all
modes are available at all frequencies (see Table 2).
Reference Divider R
The reference inputs are routed to the reference divider, R.
R (a 14-bit counter) can be set to any value from 0 to 16,383 by
writing to Register 0x011 and Register 0x012. (Both R = 0 and
R = 1 give divide-by-1.) The output of the R divider goes to one
of the PFD inputs to be compared with the VCO frequency divided
by the N divider. The frequency applied to the PFD must not
exceed the maximum allowable frequency, which depends on
the antibacklash pulse setting (see Table 2).
The R counter has its own reset. The R counter can be reset via
the shared reset bit of the R, A, and B counters. It can also be
reset by a SYNC operation.
The N divider is a combination of a prescaler (P) and two
counters, A and B. The total divider value is
N = (P × B) + A
where P can be 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32.
Prescaler
When operating the AD9516 in dual modulus mode, P/(P + 1),
the equation used to relate the input reference frequency to the
VCO output frequency is
fVCO = (fREF/R) × (P × B + A) = fREF × N/R
However, when operating the prescaler in FD Mode 1,
FD Mode 2, or FD Mode 3, the A counter is not used (A = 0)
and the equation simplifies to
fVCO = (fREF/R) × (P × B) = fREF × N/R
When A = 0, the divide is a fixed divide of P = 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32,
in which case, the previous equation also applies.
By using combinations of DM and FD modes, the AD9516
can achieve values of N all the way down to N = 1 and up to N =
26,2175. Table 24 shows how a 10 MHz reference input can be
locked to any integer multiple of N.

Note that the same value of N can be derived in different ways,
as illustrated by the case of N = 12. The user can choose a fixed
divide mode of P = 2 with B = 6; use the dual modulus mode of
2/3 with A = 0, B = 6; or use the dual modulus mode of 4/5 with
A = 0, B = 3.
A and B Counters
The B counter must be ≥3 or bypassed, and, unlike the R counter,
A = 0 is actually zero. When the prescaler is in dual modulus mode,
the A counter must be less than the B counter.
The maximum input frequency to the A or B counter is reflected
in the maximum prescaler output frequency (~300 MHz) that
is specified in Table 2. This is the prescaler input frequency
(external VCO or CLK) divided by P. For example, a dual
modulus mode of P = 8/9 mode is not allowed if the external
VCO frequency is greater than 2400 MHz because the frequency
going to the A or B counter is too high.
When the B counter is bypassed (B = 1), the A counter should
be set to 0, and the overall resulting divide is equal to the prescaler
setting, P. The possible divide ratios in this mode are 1, 2, 3, 4, 8,
16, and 32. This mode is useful only when an external VCO/VCXO
is used because the frequency range of the internal VCO requires
an overall feedback divider that is greater than 32.
lock detect counter (Register 0x018[6:5]). A lock is not indicated
until there is a programmable number of consecutive PFD cycles
with a time difference that is less than the lock detect threshold.
The lock detect circuit continues to indicate a lock until a time
difference greater than the unlock threshold occurs on a single
subsequent cycle. For the lock detect to work properly, the period
of the PFD frequency must be greater than the unlock threshold.
The number of consecutive PFD cycles required for lock is
programmable (Register 0x018[6:5]).
Analog Lock Detect (ALD)
The AD9516 provides an ALD function that can be selected for
use at the LD pin. There are two versions of ALD, as follows:
•
•
The analog lock detect function requires an R-C filter to
provide a logic level indicating lock/unlock.
Although manual reset is not normally required, the A and B
counters have their own reset bit. Alternatively, the A and B
counters can be reset using the shared reset bit of the R, A, and
B counters. Note that these reset bits are not self-clearing.

R and N Divider Delays
Both the R and N dividers feature a programmable delay cell.
These delays can be enabled to allow adjustment of the phase
relationship between the PLL reference clock and the VCO or
CLK. Each delay is controlled by three bits. The total delay
range is about 1 ns. See Register 0x019 in Table 49.
LOCK DETECT
Digital Lock Detect (DLD)
By selecting the proper output through the mux on each pin, the
DLD function can be made available at the LD, STATUS, and
REFMON pins. The DLD circuit indicates a lock when the time
difference of the rising edges at the PFD inputs is less than a
specified value (the lock threshold). The loss of a lock is indicated
when the time difference exceeds a specified value (the unlock
threshold). Note that the unlock threshold is wider than the
lock threshold, which allows some phase error in excess of the
lock window to occur without chattering on the lock indicator.
The lock detect window timing depends on three settings: the
digital lock detect window bit (Register 0x018[4]), the antibacklash
pulse width setting (Register 0x017[1:0]), see Table 2), and the

R, A, and B Counters—SYNC Pin Reset

the SYNC pin. This function is controlled by Register 0x019[7:6]
(see Table 49). The SYNC pin reset is disabled by default.

a pull-up resistor to the positive supply, VS. The output is

by the minimum duty cycle of the low going pulses.

a pull-down resistor to GND. The output is normally low
with short, high going pulses. Lock is indicated by the
minimum duty cycle of the high going pulses.
Figure 38. Example of Analog Lock Detect Filter, Using
N-Channel Open-Drain Driver
Current Source Digital Lock Detect (CSDLD)
During the PLL locking sequence, it is normal for the DLD
signal to toggle a number of times before remaining steady
when the PLL is completely locked and stable. There may be
applications where it is desirable to have DLD asserted only
after the PLL is solidly locked. This is made possible by using
the current source lock detect function. This function is set
when it is selected as the output from the LD pin control
(Register 0x01A[5:0]).
The current source lock detect provides a current of 110 μA
when DLD is true, and it shorts to ground when DLD is false.
If a capacitor is connected to the LD pin, it charges at a rate that
is determined by the current source during the DLD true time
but is discharged nearly instantly when DLD is false. By
monitoring the voltage at the LD pin (top of the capacitor), it is
possible to get a logic high level only after the DLD has been
true for a sufficiently long time. Any momentary DLD false
resets the charging. By selecting a properly sized capacitor, it is
possible to delay a lock detect indication until the PLL is locked
in a stable condition and the lock detect does not chatter.
Rev. A | Page 31 of 76

The voltage on the capacitor can be sensed by an external
comparator connected to the LD pin. However, there is an
internal LD pin comparator that can be read at the REFMON
pin control (Register 0x01B[4:0]) or the STATUS pin control
(Register 0x017[7:2]) as an active high signal. It is also available
as an active low signal (REFMON, Register 0x01B[4:0] and
STATUS, Register 0x017[7:2]). The internal LD pin comparator

The AD9516 PLL has a holdover function. Holdover is
implemented by putting the charge pump into a high impedance
state. This is useful when the PLL reference clock is lost. Holdover
mode allows the VCO to maintain a relatively constant frequency
even though there is no reference clock. Without this function,
the charge pump is placed into a constant pump-up or pumpdown state, resulting in a large VCO frequency shift. Because
the charge pump is placed in a high impedance state, any leakage
that occurs at the charge pump output or the VCO tuning node
causes a drift of the VCO frequency. This can be mitigated by
using a loop filter that contains a large capacitive component
because this drift is limited by the current leakage induced slew
rate (ILEAK/C) of the VCO control voltage. For most applications,
the frequency is sufficient for 3 sec to 5 sec.
Both a manual holdover mode, using the SYNC pin, and an
automatic holdover mode are provided. To use either function,
the holdover function must be enabled (Register 0x01D[0] and
Register 0x01D[2]).

Figure 40. CLK Equivalent Input Circuit
The CLK/CLK input can be used either as a distribution only
input (with the PLL off), or as a feedback input for an external
VCO/VCXO using the PLL. The CLK/CLK input can be used
for frequencies up to 2.4 GHz.
Manual Holdover Mode
A manual holdover mode can be enabled that allows the user
to place the charge pump into a high impedance state when the
SYNC pin is asserted low. This operation is edge sensitive, not
level sensitive. The charge pump enters a high impedance state
immediately. To take the charge pump out of a high impedance
state, take the SYNC pin high. The charge pump then leaves the
high impedance state synchronously with the next PFD rising
edge from the reference clock. This prevents extraneous charge
pump events from occurring during the time between SYNC
going high and the next PFD event. This also means that the
charge pump stays in a high impedance state as long as there is
no reference clock present.
The B counter (in the N divider) is reset synchronously with the
charge pump leaving the high impedance state on the reference
path PFD event. This helps align the edges out of the R and N
dividers for faster settling of the PLL. Because the prescaler is
not reset, this feature works best when the B and R numbers are
close because this results in a smaller phase difference for the
loop to settle out.
When using this mode, set the channel dividers to ignore the
SYNC pin (at least after an initial SYNC event). If the dividers are
not set to ignore the SYNC pin, the distribution outputs turn off
each time SYNC is taken low to put the part into holdover.
Rev. A | Page 32 of 76
AD9516-5
Automatic/Internal Holdover Mode
PLL ENABLED
When enabled, this function automatically puts the charge pump
into a high impedance state when the loop loses lock. The
assumption is that the only reason that the loop loses lock is due
to the PLL losing the reference clock; therefore, the holdover
function puts the charge pump into a high impedance state to
maintain the VCO frequency as close as possible to the original
frequency before the reference clock disappears.
DLD == LOW
See Figure 41 for a flowchart of the internal/automatic holdover
function operation.
YES
The holdover function senses the logic level of the LD pin as a
condition to enter holdover. The signal at LD can be from the
DLD, ALD, or current source LD (CSDLD) mode. It is possible
to disable the LD comparator (Register 0x01D[3]), which causes
the holdover function to always sense LD as high. If DLD is
used, it is possible for the DLD signal to chatter somewhat while
the PLL is reacquiring lock. The holdover function may retrigger,
thereby preventing the holdover mode from ever terminating.
Use of the current source lock detect mode is recommended to
avoid this situation (see the Current Source Digital Lock Detect
section).

After leaving holdover, the loop then reacquires lock, and the

The holdover function always responds to the state of the currently
selected reference (Register 0x01C). If the loop loses lock during a
reference switchover (see the Reference Switchover section),
holdover is triggered briefly until the next reference clock edge
at the PFD.

When in holdover mode, the charge pump stays in a high
impedance state as long as there is no reference clock present.
As in the external holdover mode, the B counter (in the N divider)
is reset synchronously with the charge pump leaving the high
impedance state on the reference path PFD event. This helps to
align the edges out of the R and N dividers for faster settling of
the PLL and reduce frequency errors during settling. Because the
prescaler is not reset, this feature works best when the B and R
numbers are close because this results in a smaller phase difference
for the loop to settle out.

Frequency Status Monitors

used to indicate if the PLL reference (or references, in the case
of single-ended mode) and the VCO have fallen below a threshold
frequency. Figure 42 is a diagram that shows their location in
the PLL.
For example, to use automatic holdover with the following:

CLK Direct to LVPECL Outputs
CLOCK DISTRIBUTION
A clock channel consists of a pair (or double pair, in the case of
CMOS) of outputs that share a common divider. A clock output
consists of the drivers that connect to the output pins. The clock
outputs have either LVPECL or LVDS/CMOS signal levels at
the pins.
The AD9516 has five clock channels: three channels are LVPECL
(six outputs); two channels are LVDS/CMOS (up to four LVDS
outputs, or up to eight CMOS outputs).
Each channel has its own programmable divider that divides the
clock frequency that is applied to its input. The LVPECL channel
dividers can divide by any integer from 2 to 32, or the divider
can be bypassed to achieve a divide-by-1. Each LVDS/CMOS
channel divider contains two of these divider blocks in a cascaded
configuration. The total division of the channel is the product
of the divide value of the cascaded dividers. This allows divide
values of (1 to 32) × (1 to 32), or up to 1024 (note that this is
not all values from 1 to 1024 but only the set of numbers that
are the product of the two dividers).
The VCO divider can be set to divide by 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 and must
be used if the external clock signal connected to the CLK input
is greater than 1600 MHz.
The channel dividers allow for a selection of various duty cycles,
depending on the currently set division. That is, for any specific
division, D, the output of the divider can be set to high for N + 1
input clock cycles and low for M + 1 input clock cycles (where
D = N + M + 2). For example, a divide-by-5 can be high for one
divider input cycle and low for four cycles, or a divide-by-5 can
be high for three divider input cycles and low for two cycles.
Other combinations are also possible.
The channel dividers include a duty-cycle correction function
that can be disabled. In contrast to the selectable duty cycle
just described, this function can correct a non-50% duty cycle
caused by an odd division. However, this requires that the
division be set by M = N + 1.
In addition, the channel dividers allow a coarse phase offset or
delay to be set. Depending on the division selected, the output
can be delayed by up to 31 input clock cycles. The divider
outputs can also be set to start high or start low.
Operating Modes
There are two clock distribution operating modes. These operating
modes are shown in Table 25.
It is not necessary to use the VCO divider if the CLK frequency
is less than the maximum channel divider input frequency
(1600 MHz); otherwise, the VCO divider must be used to
reduce the frequency going to the channel dividers.

It is possible to connect the CLK directly to the LVPECL outputs,
OUT0 to OUT5. However, the LVPECL outputs may not be able
to provide full a voltage swing at the highest frequencies.
To connect the LVPECL outputs directly to the CLK input, the
VCO divider must be selected as the source to the distribution
section even if no channel uses it.

Clock Frequency Division
The total frequency division is a combination of the VCO
divider (when used) and the channel divider. When the VCO
divider is used, the total division from the VCO or CLK to the
output is the product of the VCO divider (2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) and
the division of the channel divider. Table 27 and Table 28 indicate
how the frequency division for a channel is set. For the LVPECL
outputs, there is only one divider per channel. For the LVDS/
CMOS outputs, there are two dividers (X.1, X.2) cascaded
per channel.

The channel dividers feeding the LVPECL output drivers contain
one 2-to-32 frequency divider. This divider provides for division
by 2 to 32. Division by 1 is accomplished by bypassing the divider.
The dividers also provide for a programmable duty cycle, with
optional duty-cycle correction when the divide ratio is odd.
Rev. A | Page 35 of 76
AD9516-5
A phase offset or delay in increments of the input clock cycle is
selectable. The channel dividers operate with a signal at their
inputs up to 1600 MHz. The features and settings of the dividers
are selected by programming the appropriate setup and control
registers (see Table 47 through Table 57).
VCO Divider
The VCO divider provides frequency division between the
external CLK input and the clock distribution channel dividers.
The VCO divider can be set to divide by 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 (see
Table 55, Register 0x1E0[2:0]).
Channel Dividers—LVPECL Outputs
Each pair of LVPECL outputs is driven by a channel divider.
There are three channel dividers (0, 1, and 2) driving six
LVPECL outputs (OUT0 to OUT5). Table 29 lists the register
locations used for setting the division and other functions of
these dividers. The division is set by the values of M and N. The
divider can be bypassed (equivalent to divide-by-1, divider circuit
is powered down) by setting the bypass bit. The duty-cycle
correction can be enabled or disabled according to the setting
of the DCCOFF bits.

Note that the value stored in the register = # of cycles minus 1. For example,
0x190[7:4] = 0001b equals two low cycles (M = 2) for Divider 0.
Channel Frequency Division (0, 1, and 2)
For each channel (where the channel number is x: 0, 1, or 2),
the frequency division, DX, is set by the values of M and N
(four bits each, representing Decimal 0 to Decimal 15), where
The DCC function is enabled, by default, for each channel divider.
However, the DCC function can be disabled individually for each
channel divider by setting the DCCOFF bit for that channel.
Certain M and N values for a channel divider result in a non-50%
duty cycle. A non-50% duty cycle can also result with an even
division, if M ≠ N. The duty-cycle correction function
automatically corrects non-50% duty cycles at the channel
divider output to 50% duty cycle. Duty-cycle correction
requires the following channel divider conditions:
•
•
An even division must be set as M = N
An odd division must be set as M = N + 1
When not bypassed or corrected by the DCC function, the duty
cycle of each channel divider output is the numerical value of
(N + 1)/(N + M + 2), expressed as a percentage (%).
Table 30 to Table 32 list the duty cycles at the output of the channel
dividers for various configurations.

By giving each divider a different phase offset, output-to-output
delays can be set in increments of the channel divider input
clock cycle. Figure 43 shows the results of setting such a coarse
offset between outputs.
If the CLK input is routed directly to the output, the duty cycle of
the output is the same as the CLK input.

Phase Offset or Coarse Time Delay (0, 1, and 2)
Each channel divider allows for a phase offset, or a coarse time
delay, to be programmed by setting register bits (see Table 33).
These settings determine the number of cycles (successive
rising edges) of the channel divider input frequency by which to
offset, or delay, the rising edge of the output of the divider. This
delay is with respect to a nondelayed output (that is, with a
phase offset of zero). The amount of the delay is set by five bits
loaded into the phase offset (PO) register, plus the start high
(SH) bit for each channel divider. When the start high bit is set,
the delay is also affected by the number of low cycles (M) that
are programmed for the divider.
The sync function must be used to make phase offsets effective
(see the Synchronizing the Outputs—SYNC Function section).

Channel Dividers—LVDS/CMOS Outputs
Channel Divider 3 and Channel Divider 4 each drive a pair of
LVDS outputs, giving four LVDS outputs (OUT6 to OUT9).
Alternatively, each of these LVDS differential outputs can be
configured individually as a pair (A and B) of CMOS singleended outputs, providing for up to eight CMOS outputs. By default,
the B output of each pair is off but can be turned on as desired.
Channel Divider 3 and Channel Divider 4 each consist of two
cascaded, 2 to 32, frequency dividers. The channel frequency
division is DX.1 × DX.2, or up to 1024. Divide-by-1 is achieved by
bypassing one or both of these dividers. Both of the dividers also
have DCC enabled by default, but this function can be disabled,
if desired, by setting the DCCOFF bit of the channel. A coarse
phase offset or delay is also programmable (see the Phase Offset
or Coarse Time Delay (Divider 3 and Divider 4) section). The
channel dividers operate up to 1600 MHz. The features and
settings of the dividers are selected by programming the
appropriate setup and control registers (see Table 47 and Table 48
through Table 57).

AD9516-5
Channel Frequency Division (Divider 3 and Divider 4)
The division for each channel divider is set by the bits in the
registers for the individual dividers (X.Y = 3.1, 3.2, 4.1, and 4.2).
Number of Low Cycles = MX.Y + 1
Number of High Cycles = NX.Y + 1
When both X.1 and X.2 are bypassed, DX = 1 × 1 = 1.
When only X.2 is bypassed, DX = (NX.1 + MX.1 + 2) × 1.
When both X.1 and X.2 are not bypassed, DX = (NX.1 + MX.1 + 2) ×
(NX.2 + MX.2 + 2).
By cascading the dividers, channel division up to 1024 can be
obtained. However, not all integer value divisions from 1 to
1024 are obtainable; only the values that are the product of the
separate divisions of the two dividers (DX.1 × DX.2) can be realized.
If only one divider is needed when using Divider 3 and Divider 4,
use the first one (X.1) and bypass the second one (X.2). Do not
bypass X.1 and use X.2.
Duty Cycle and Duty-Cycle Correction (Divider 3 and
Divider 4)
The same duty cycle and DCC considerations apply to Divider 3
and Divider 4 as to Divider 0, Divider 1, and Divider 2 (see the
Duty Cycle and Duty-Cycle Correction (0, 1, and 2) section);
however, with these channel dividers, the number of possible
configurations is more complex.
Duty-cycle correction on Divider 3 and Divider 4 requires the
following channel divider conditions:
•
•
•
•
An even DX.Y must be set as MX.Y = NX.Y (low cycles = high
cycles).
An odd DX.Y must be set as MX.Y = NX.Y + 1 (number of low
cycles must be one greater than the number of high cycles).
If only one divider is bypassed, it must be the second
divider, X.2.
If only one divider has an even divide-by, it must be the
second divider, X.2.

Phase Offset or Coarse Time Delay (Divider 3 and Divider 4)
Divider 3 and Divider 4 can be set to have a phase offset or
delay. The phase offset is set by a combination of the bits in the
phase offset and start high registers (see Table 40).

Δt = delay (in seconds).
Φx.y = 16 × SH[0] + 8 × PO[3] + 4 × PO[2] + 2 × PO[1] +

TX.1 = period of the clock signal at the input to DX.1 (in seconds).
TX.2 = period of the clock signal at the input to DX.2 (in seconds).
Case 1
Calculating the Fine Delay
The following values and equations are used to calculate the
delay of the delay block.
IRAMP (μA) = 200 × (Ramp Current + 1)
Number of Capacitors = Number of Bits =
0 in Ramp Capacitors + 1
Example: 101 = 1 + 1 = 2; 110 = 1 + 1 = 2; 100 = 2 + 1 = 3;
001 = 2 + 1 = 3; 111 = 0 + 1 = 1.
When Φx.1 ≤ 15 and Φx.2 ≤ 15:
Δt = Φx.1 × TX.1 + ΦX.2 × Tx.2
Delay Range (ns) = 200 × ((No. of Caps + 3)/(IRAMP)) × 1.3286

Delay Full Scale (ns) = Delay Range + Offset
When ΦX.1 ≥ 16 and ΦX.2 ≤ 15:
Δt = (ΦX.1 − 16 + MX.1 + 1) × TX.1 + ΦX.2 × TX.2
Fine Delay (ns) =
Delay Range × Delay Fraction × (1/63) + Offset
When Φx.1 ≤ 15 and Φx.2 ≥ 16:
Δt = ΦX.1 × TX.1 + (ΦX.2 – 16 + MX.2 + 1) × TX.2
Note that only delay fraction values up to 47 decimal (101111b;
0x02F) are supported.
Case 4
When ΦX.1 ≥ 16 and ΦX.2 ≥ 16:
Δt =
(ΦX.1 − 16 + MX.1 + 1) × TX.1 + (ΦX.2 − 16 + MX.2 + 1) × TX.2
In no case can the fine delay exceed one-half of the output clock
period. If a delay longer than half of the clock period is attempted,
the output stops clocking.
Fine Delay Adjust (Divider 3 and Divider 4)
The delay function adds some jitter that is greater than that
specified for the nondelayed output. This means that the delay
function should be used primarily for clocking digital chips, such
as FPGA, ASIC, DUC, and DDC. An output with this delay
enabled may not be suitable for clocking data converters. The
jitter is higher for long full scales because the delay block uses a
ramp and trip points to create the variable delay. A slower ramp
time produces more time jitter.
Each AD9516 LVDS/CMOS output (OUT6 to OUT9) includes
an analog delay element that can be programmed to give variable
time delays (Δt) in the clock signal at that output.

The AD9516 clock outputs can be synchronized to each other.
Outputs can be individually excluded from synchronization.
Synchronization consists of setting the nonexcluded outputs to
a preset set of static conditions and, subsequently, releasing
these outputs to continue clocking at the same instant with the
preset conditions applied. This allows for the alignment of the
edges of two or more outputs or for the spacing of edges
according to the coarse phase offset settings for two or more
outputs.
Synchronization of the outputs is executed in several ways:

between 14 and 15 cycles of clock at the channel divider input,
plus either one cycle of the VCO divider input (see Figure 45),
or one cycle of the CLK input (see Figure 46), depending on
whether the VCO divider is used. Cycles are counted from the
rising edge of the signal.
The most common way to execute the SYNC function is to use
the SYNC pin to do a manual synchronization of the outputs.
This requires a low going signal on the SYNC pin, which is held
low and then released when synchronization is desired. The timing
of the SYNC operation is shown in Figure 45 (using VCO divider)
and Figure 46 (VCO divider not used). There is an uncertainty
of up to one cycle of the clock at the input to the channel divider
due to the asynchronous nature of the SYNC signal with respect
to the clock edges inside the AD9516. The delay from the SYNC
rising edge to the beginning of synchronized output clocking is

Another common way to execute the SYNC function is by setting
and resetting the soft SYNC bit at Register 0x230[0] (see Table 47
through Table 57 for details). Both the setting and resetting of
the soft SYNC bit require an update all registers operation
(Register 0x232[0] = 1) to take effect.

AD9516-5
The AD9516 outputs are in pairs, sharing a channel divider per
pair (two pairs of pairs, four outputs, in the case of CMOS). The
synchronization conditions apply to both outputs of a pair.
For this reason, the LVPECL outputs have several power-down
modes. This includes a safe power-down mode that continues
to protect the output devices while powered down, although it
consumes somewhat more power than a total power-down. If
the LVPECL output pins are terminated, it is best to select the
safe power-down mode. If the pins are not connected (unused),
it is acceptable to use the total power-down mode.
LVDS/CMOS Outputs—OUT6 to OUT9
OUT6 to OUT9 can be configured as either an LVDS differential
output or as a pair of CMOS single-ended outputs. The LVDS
outputs allow for selectable output current from ~1.75 mA to ~7 mA.
Each channel (a divider and its outputs) can be excluded from
any sync operation by setting the nosync bit of the channel.
Channels that are set to ignore SYNC (excluded channels) do
not set their outputs static during a sync operation, and their
outputs are not synchronized with those of the nonexcluded
channels.
3.5mA
Clock Outputs
3.5mA
The AD9516 offers three output level choices: LVPECL, LVDS,
and CMOS. OUT0 to OUT5 are LVPECL differential outputs;
and OUT6 to OUT9 are LVDS/CMOS outputs. These outputs
can be configured as either LVDS differential or as pairs of
single-ended CMOS outputs.
LVPECL Outputs—OUT0 to OUT5
The LVPECL differential voltage (VOD) is selectable from 400 mV
to 960 mV (see Register 0x0F0[3:2] to Register 0x0F5[3:2]). The
LVPECL outputs have dedicated pins for power supply
(VS_LVPECL), allowing a separate power supply to be used.
VS_LVPECL can range from 2.5 V to 3.3 V.

The LVDS output polarity can be set as noninverting or inverting,
which allows for the adjustment of the relative polarity of outputs
within an application without requiring a board layout change. Each
LVDS output can be powered down, if not needed, to save power.
OUT6 to OUT9 can also be CMOS outputs. Each LVDS output can
be configured to be two CMOS outputs. This provides for up to
eight CMOS outputs: OUT6A, OUT6B, OUT7A, OUT7B,
OUT8A, OUT8B, OUT9A, and OUT9B. When an output is
configured as CMOS, the CMOS Output A is automatically turned
on. The CMOS Output B can be turned on or off independently.
The relative polarity of the CMOS outputs can also be selected for
any combination of inverting and noninverting. See Table 52:
Register 0x140[7:5], Register 0x141[7:5], Register 0x142[7:5], and
Register 0x143[7:5].
Each LVDS/CMOS output can be powered down, as needed, to
save power. The CMOS output power-down is controlled by the
same bit that controls the LVDS power-down for that output.
This power-down control affects both CMOS Output A and
CMOS Output B. However, when CMOS Output A is powered up,
CMOS Output B output can be powered on or off separately.

The LVPECL output polarity can be set as noninverting or
inverting, which allows for the adjustment of the relative
polarity of outputs within an application without requiring a
board layout change. Each LVPECL output can be powered
down or powered up as needed. Because of the architecture of
the LVPECL output stages, there is the possibility of electrical
overstress and breakdown under certain power-down conditions.

A sync operation brings all outputs that have not been excluded (by
the nosync bit) to a preset condition before allowing the outputs to
begin clocking in synchronicity. The preset condition takes into
account the settings in each of the channel’s start high bit and its
phase offset. These settings govern both the static state of each
output when the sync operation is happening and the state and
relative phase of the outputs when they begin clocking again upon
completion of the sync operation. Between outputs and after
synchronization, this allows for the setting of phase offsets.

AD9516-5
RESET MODES
The AD9516 has several ways to force the chip into a reset
condition that restores all registers to their default values and
makes these settings active.
Power-On Reset—Start-Up Conditions When VS Is Applied
A power-on reset (POR) is issued when the VS power supply is
turned on. The POR pulse duration is <100 ms and initializes
the chip to the power-on conditions that are determined by the
default register settings. These are indicated in the Default Value
(Hex) column of Table 47. At power-on, the AD9516 also executes
a SYNC operation, which brings the outputs into phase alignment
according to the default settings. It is recommended that the
user not toggle SCLK during the reset pulse.
Asynchronous Reset via the RESET Pin
An asynchronous hard reset is executed by momentarily pulling
RESET low. A reset restores the chip registers to the default settings.
It is recommended that the user not toggle SCLK for 20 ns after
RESET goes high.
Soft Reset via Register 0x000[2]
A soft reset is executed by writing Register 0x000[2] and
Register 0x000[5] = 1b. This bit is not self-clearing; therefore,
it must be cleared by writing Register 0x000[2] and Register
0x000[2] = 0b to reset it and complete the soft reset operation.
A soft reset restores the default values to the internal registers.
The soft reset bit does not require an update registers command
(Register 0x232 = 0x01) to be issued.
POWER-DOWN MODES
Chip Power-Down via PD
The AD9516 can be put into a power-down condition by pulling
the PD pin low. Power-down turns off most of the functions and
currents inside the AD9516. The chip remains in this power-down
state until PD is brought back to logic high. When the AD9516
wakes up, it returns to the settings programmed into its registers
prior to the power-down, unless the registers are changed by
new programming while the PD pin is held low.
The PD power-down shuts down the currents on the chip, except
the bias current that is necessary to maintain the LVPECL outputs
in a safe shutdown mode. This is needed to protect the LVPECL
output circuitry from damage that can be caused by certain
termination and load configurations when tristated. Because this
is not a complete power-down, it can be called sleep mode.
When the AD9516 is in a PD power-down, the chip is in the
following state:
•
•
•
•
•
•
The PLL is off (asynchronous power-down).
The CLK input buffer is off.
All dividers are off.
All LVDS/CMOS outputs are off.
All LVPECL outputs are in safe off mode.
The serial port is active and responds to commands.
If the AD9516 clock outputs must be synchronized to each
other, a SYNC is required upon exiting power-down (see the
Synchronizing the Outputs—SYNC Function section).
PLL Power-Down
The PLL section of the AD9516 can be selectively powered
down. There are three PLL operating modes that are set by
Register 0x010[1:0], as shown in Table 49.
In asynchronous power-down mode, the device powers down as
soon as the registers are updated.
In synchronous power-down mode, the PLL power-down is
gated by the charge pump to prevent unwanted frequency jumps.
The device goes into power-down on the occurrence of the next
charge pump event after the registers are updated.
Distribution Power-Down
The distribution section can be powered down by writing to
Register 0x230[1] = 1b. This turns off the bias to the distribution
section. If the LVPECL power-down mode is normal operation
(00b), it is possible for a low impedance load on that LVPECL
output to draw significant current during this power-down. If the
LVPECL power-down mode is set to 11b, the LVPECL output is
not protected from reverse bias and can be damaged under
certain termination conditions.
Individual Clock Output Power-Down
Any of the clock distribution outputs can be powered down
individually by writing to the appropriate registers. The register
map details the individual power-down settings for each output.
The LVDS/CMOS outputs can be powered down, regardless of
their output load configuration.
The LVPECL outputs have multiple power-down modes
(see Table 53) that give some flexibility in dealing with the
various output termination conditions. When the mode is set to
10b, the LVPECL output is protected from reverse bias to
2 VBE + 1 V. If the mode is set to 11b, the LVPECL output is
not protected from reverse bias and can be damaged under
certain termination conditions. This setting also affects the
operation when the distribution block is powered down with
0x230[1] = 1b (see the Distribution Power-Down section).
Individual Circuit Block Power-Down
Other AD9516 circuit blocks (such as CLK, REF1, and REF2)
can be powered down individually. This gives flexibility in
configuring the part for power savings whenever certain chip
functions are not needed.

AD9516-5
SERIAL CONTROL PORT
The AD9516 serial control port is a flexible, synchronous, serial
communications port that allows an easy interface with many
industry-standard microcontrollers and microprocessors. The
AD9516 serial control port is compatible with most synchronous
transfer formats, including both the Motorola SPI® and Intel®
SSR® protocols. The serial control port allows read/write access
to all registers that configure the AD9516. Single or multiple byte
transfers are supported, as well as MSB first or LSB first transfer
formats. The AD9516 serial control port can be configured for a
single bidirectional I/O pin (SDIO only) or for two unidirectional
I/O pins (SDIO/SDO). By default, the AD9516 is in bidirectional
mode, long instruction (long instruction is the only instruction
mode supported).
During this period, the serial control port state machine enters
a wait state until all data is sent. If the system controller decides
to abort the transfer before all of the data is sent, the state machine
must be reset, either by completing the remaining transfers or
by returning the CS low for at least one complete SCLK cycle
(but less than eight SCLK cycles). Raising the CS on a nonbyte
boundary terminates the serial transfer and flushes the buffer.
SERIAL CONTROL PORT PIN DESCRIPTIONS
Communication Cycle—Instruction Plus Data
SCLK (serial clock) is the serial shift clock. This pin is an input.
SCLK is used to synchronize serial control port reads and writes.
Write data bits are registered on the rising edge of this clock,
and read data bits are registered on the falling edge. This pin
is internally pulled down by a 30 kΩ resistor to ground.
SDIO (serial data input/output) is a dual-purpose pin that acts
as either an input only (unidirectional mode) or as both an input/
output (bidirectional mode). The AD9516 defaults to the
bidirectional I/O mode (Register 0x000[0] = 0b).
SDO (serial data output) is used only in the unidirectional I/O
mode (Register 0x000[0] = 1b) as a separate output pin for
reading back data.
CS (chip select bar) is an active low control that gates the read
and write cycles. When CS is high, SDO and SDIO are in a high
impedance state. This pin is internally pulled up by a 30 kΩ
resistor to VS.

GENERAL OPERATION OF SERIAL CONTROL PORT
A write or a read operation to the AD9516 is initiated by pulling
CS low.
CS stall high is supported in modes where three or fewer bytes
of data (plus instruction data) are transferred (see Table 42).
In these modes, CS can temporarily return high on any byte
boundary, allowing time for the system controller to process the
next byte. CS can go high on byte boundaries only and during
either part (instruction or data) of the transfer.
In streaming mode (see Table 42), any number of data bytes can
be transferred in a continuous stream. The register address is
automatically incremented or decremented (see the MSB/LSB
First Transfers section). CS must be raised at the end of the last
byte to be transferred, thereby ending the stream mode.
There are two parts to a communication cycle with the AD9516.
The first part writes a 16-bit instruction word into the AD9516,
coincident with the first 16 SCLK rising edges. The instruction
word provides the AD9516 serial control port with information
regarding the data transfer, which is the second part of the
communication cycle. The instruction word defines whether
the upcoming data transfer is a read or a write, the number of
bytes in the data transfer, and the starting register address for
the first byte of the data transfer.
Write
If the instruction word is for a write operation, the second part
is the transfer of data into the serial control port buffer of the
AD9516. Data bits are registered on the rising edge of SCLK.
The length of the transfer (1, 2, or 3 bytes or streaming mode)
is indicated by two bits ([W1:W0]) in the instruction byte.
When the transfer is 1, 2, or 3 bytes, but not streaming, CS can
be raised after each sequence of eight bits to stall the bus (except
after the last byte, where it ends the cycle). When the bus is stalled,
the serial transfer resumes when CS is lowered. Raising CS on
a nonbyte boundary resets the serial control port. During a write,
streaming mode does not skip over reserved or unused registers;
therefore, the user must know the correct bit pattern to write to
the reserved registers to preserve proper operation of the part.
Refer to the register map (see Table 47) to determine if the default
value for reserved registers is nonzero. It does not matter what
data is written to blank or unused registers.
Because data is written into a serial control port buffer area, and
not directly into the actual control registers of the AD9516, an
additional operation is needed to transfer the serial control port
buffer contents to the actual control registers of the AD9516,
thereby causing them to become active. The update registers
operation consists of setting Register 0x232[0] = 1b (this bit is selfclearing). Any number of bytes of data can be changed before
executing an update registers. The update registers operation
simultaneously actuates all register changes that have been
written to the buffer since any previous update.
Rev. A | Page 44 of 76
AD9516-5
Read
If the instruction word is for a read operation, the next N × 8
SCLK cycles clock out the data from the address specified in the
instruction word, where N is 1 to 3, as determined by [W1:W0].
If N = 4, the read operation is in streaming mode, continuing
until CS is raised. Streaming mode does not skip over reserved
or blank registers. The readback data is valid on the falling
edge of SCLK.
The default mode of the AD9516 serial control port is the
bidirectional mode. In bidirectional mode, both the sent data
and the readback data appear on the SDIO pin. It is also possible to
set the AD9516 to unidirectional mode via the SDO active bit
(Register 0x000[0] = 1b). In unidirectional mode, the readback
data appears on the SDO pin.
A readback request reads the data that is in the serial control
port buffer area, or the data that is in the active registers (see
Figure 51). Readback of the buffer or active registers is controlled
by Register 0x004[0].
The AD9516 supports only the long instruction mode; therefore,
Register 0x000[4:3] must be set to 11b. (This register uses
mirrored bits). Long instruction mode is the default at powerup or reset.

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

transfer portion of the communications cycle. Only Bits[A9:A0]
are needed to cover the range of the 0x232 registers used by the
AD9516. Bits[A12:A10] must always be set to 0b. For multibyte
transfers, this address is the starting byte address. In MSB first
mode, subsequent bytes decrement the address.
MSB/LSB FIRST TRANSFERS
The AD9516 instruction word and byte data can be MSB first
or LSB first. Any data written to Register 0x000 must be mirrored;
the upper four bits (Bits[7:4]) must mirror the lower four bits
(Bits[3:0]). This makes it irrelevant whether LSB first or MSB first
is in effect. As an example of this mirroring, see the default
setting for this register: 0x000, which mirrors Bit 4 and Bit 3.
This sets the long instruction mode (which is the default and
the only mode that is supported).
The default for the AD9516 is MSB first.
When LSB first is set by Register 0x000[1] and Register 0x000[6],
it takes effect immediately, because it affects only the operation
of the serial control port and does not require that an update be
executed.
When MSB first mode is active, the instruction and data bytes
must be written from MSB to LSB. 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 must follow, in order, from high address to low address. In
MSB first mode, the serial control port internal address generator
decrements for each data byte of the multibyte transfer cycle.
When LSB first is active, the instruction and data bytes must be
written from LSB to MSB. 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 internal byte address generator of the serial control
port increments for each byte of the multibyte transfer cycle.
The AD9516 serial control port register address decrements from
the register address just written toward 0x000 for multibyte I/O
operations if the MSB first mode is active (default). If the LSB
first mode is active, the register address of the serial control port
increments from the address just written toward Register 0x232
for multibyte I/O operations.
Streaming mode always terminates when it hits Address 0x232.
Note that unused addresses are not skipped during multibyte
I/O operations.

Bits[7:4] should always mirror Bits[3:0], so that it does not matter whether the part is in
MSB or LSB first mode (see Bit 1, Register 0x000). The user should set the bits as follows:
Bit 7 = Bit 0.
Bit 6 = Bit 1.
Bit 5 = Bit 2.
Bit 4 = Bit 3.
Short/long instruction mode. This part uses long instruction mode only, so this bit should
always be set to 1b.
0: 8-bit instruction (short).
1: 16-bit instruction (long) (default).
Soft reset.
1: soft reset; restores default values to internal registers. Not self-clearing. Must be cleared
to 0b to complete reset operation.
MSB or LSB data orientation.
0: data-oriented MSB first; addressing decrements (default).
1: data-oriented LSB first; addressing increments.
Selects unidirectional or bidirectional data transfer mode.
0: SDIO pin used for write and read; SDO set to high impedance; bidirectional mode (default).
1: SDO used for read, SDIO used for write; unidirectional mode.
Uniquely identifies the dash version (-0 through -5) of the AD9516.

Description
Disables the PLL status register readback.
0: PLL status register enable (default).
1: PLL status register disable.
Enables the LD pin voltage comparator. This function is used with the LD pin current source lock detect mode. When in
the internal (automatic) holdover mode, this function enables the use of the voltage on the LD pin to determine if the
PLL was previously in a locked state (see Figure 41). Otherwise, this function can be used with the REFMON and STATUS
pins to monitor the voltage on the LD pin.
0: disables LD pin comparator; internal/automatic holdover controller treats this pin as true/high (default).
1: enables LD pin comparator.
Along with Register 0x01D[0], enables the holdover function.
0: holdover disabled (default).
1: holdover enabled.
Enables the external hold control through the SYNC pin. (This disables the internal holdover mode.)
0: automatic holdover mode—holdover controlled by automatic holdover circuit (default).
1: external holdover mode—holdover controlled by SYNC pin.
Along with Register 0x01D[2], enables the holdover function.
0: holdover disabled (default).
1: holdover enabled.
Read-only register. Indicates if the part is in the holdover state (see Figure 41). This is not the same as holdover enabled.
0: not in holdover.
1: holdover state active.
Read-only register. Indicates which PLL reference is selected as the input to the PLL.
0: REF1 selected (or differential reference if in differential mode).
1: REF2 selected.
Read-only register. Indicates if the CLK frequency is greater than the threshold (see Table 12: REF1, REF2, and CLK
frequency status monitor).
0: CLK frequency is less than the threshold.
1: CLK frequency is greater than the threshold.
Read-only register. Indicates if the frequency of the signal at REF2 is greater than the threshold frequency set by
Register 0x01A[6].
0: REF2 frequency is less than threshold frequency.
1: REF2 frequency is greater than threshold frequency.
Read-only register. Indicates if the frequency of the signal at REF2 is greater than the threshold frequency set by
Register 0x01A[6].
0: REF1 frequency is less than threshold frequency.
1: REF1 frequency is greater than threshold frequency.
Read-only register. Digital lock detect.

AD9516-5
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Within the AD9516 family, lower VCO frequencies generally
result in slightly lower jitter. The difference in integrated jitter
(from 12 kHz to 20 MHz offset) for the same output frequency is
usually less than 150 fs over the entire VCO frequency range
(1.45 GHz to 2.95 GHz) of the AD9516 family. If the desired
frequency plan can be achieved with a version of the AD9516
that has a lower VCO frequency, choosing the lower frequency
part results in the lowest phase noise and the lowest jitter. However,
choosing a higher VCO frequency may result in more flexibility
in frequency planning.
Choosing a nominal charge pump current in the middle of the
allowable range as a starting point allows the designer to increase or
decrease the charge pump current and, thus, allows the designer
to fine-tune the PLL loop bandwidth in either direction.
ADIsimCLK is a powerful PLL modeling tool that can be
downloaded from www.analog.com. It is a very accurate tool for
determining the optimal loop filter for a given application.
USING THE AD9516 OUTPUTS FOR ADC CLOCK
APPLICATIONS
Any high speed ADC is extremely sensitive to the quality of its
sampling clock. An ADC can be thought of as a sampling mixer,
and any noise, distortion, or timing 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.

The AD9516 has the following four frequency dividers: the
reference (or R) divider, the feedback (or N) divider, the VCO
divider, and the channel divider. When trying to achieve a
particularly difficult frequency divide ratio requiring a large
amount of frequency division, some of the frequency division
can be done by either the VCO divider or the channel divider,
thus allowing a higher phase detector frequency and more
flexibility in choosing the loop bandwidth.

The AD9516 is a highly flexible PLL. When choosing the PLL
settings and version of the AD9516, keep in mind the following
guidelines.
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
SNR (dB)

Aperture Uncertainty and ADC System Performance, at

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
may result in coupled noise on the sample clock. Differential
distribution has inherent common-mode rejection that can
provide superior clock performance in a noisy environment.)
The AD9516 features both LVPECL and LVDS outputs that
provide differential clock outputs, which enable clock solutions that
maximize converter SNR performance. The input requirements of
the ADC (differential or single-ended, logic level, and termination)
should be considered when selecting the best clocking/converter
solution.

AD9516-5
LVPECL CLOCK DISTRIBUTION
The LVPECL outputs of the AD9516 provide the lowest jitter clock
signals that are available from the AD9516. The LVPECL outputs
(because they are open emitter) require a dc termination to bias
the output transistors. The simplified equivalent circuit in
Figure 47 shows the LVPECL output stage.
In most applications, an LVPECL far-end Thevenin termination
(see Figure 59) or Y-termination (see Figure 60) is recommended.
In each case, the VS of the receiving buffer should match the
VS_LVPECL. If it does not match, ac coupling is recommended (see
Figure 61).
The resistor network is designed to match the transmission line
impedance (50 Ω) and the switching threshold (VS − 1.3 V).

LVDS CLOCK DISTRIBUTION
The AD9516 provides four clock outputs (OUT6 to OUT9) that
are selectable as either CMOS or LVDS level outputs. LVDS is a
differential output option that uses a current mode output stage.
The nominal current is 3.5 mA, which yields a 350 mV output
swing across a 100 Ω resistor. An output current of 7 mA is also
available in cases where a larger output swing is required. The
LVDS output meets or exceeds all ANSI/TIA/EIA-644
specifications.

Thevenin-equivalent termination uses a resistor network to provide
50 Ω termination to a dc voltage that is below VOL of the LVPECL
driver. In this case, VS_LVPECL on the AD9516 should equal VS of
the receiving buffer. Although the resistor combination shown
in Figure 60 results in a dc bias point of VS_LVPECL − 2 V, the actual
common-mode voltage is VS_LVPECL − 1.3 V because additional
current flows from the AD9516 LVPECL driver through the pulldown resistor.
The circuit is identical when VS_LVPECL = 2.5 V, except that the
pull-down resistor is 62.5 Ω and the pull-up resistor is 250 Ω.

LVPECL Y-termination is an elegant termination scheme that
uses the fewest components and offers both odd- and even-mode
impedance matching. Even-mode impedance matching is an
important consideration for closely coupled transmission lines
at high frequencies. Its main drawback is that it offers limited
flexibility for varying the drive strength of the emitter-follower
LVPECL driver. This can be an important consideration when
driving long trace lengths but is usually not an issue. In the case
shown in Figure 60, where VS_LVPECL = 2.5 V, the 50 Ω termination
resistor connected to ground should be changed to 19 Ω.
A recommended termination circuit for the LVDS outputs is
shown in Figure 62.

Whenever single-ended CMOS clocking is used, some general
guidelines should be followed.
Point-to-point nets should be designed such that a driver has
only one receiver on the net, if possible. This allows for simple
termination schemes and minimizes ringing due to possible
mismatched impedances on the net. Series termination at the
source is generally required to provide transmission line matching
and/or to reduce current transients at the driver. The value of
the resistor is dependent on the board design and timing
requirements (typically 10 Ω to 100 Ω is used). CMOS outputs
are also limited in terms of the capacitive load or trace length
that they can drive. Typically, trace lengths less than 3 inches
are recommended to preserve signal rise/fall times and preserve
signal integrity.

Termination at the far end of the PCB trace is a second option.
The CMOS outputs of the AD9516 do not supply enough current
to provide a full voltage swing with a low impedance resistive, farend termination, as shown in Figure 64. The far-end termination
network should match the PCB trace impedance and provide the
desired switching point. The reduced signal swing may still meet
receiver input requirements in some applications. This can be
useful when driving long trace lengths on less critical nets.

The AD9516 provides four clock outputs (OUT6 to OUT9)
that are selectable as either CMOS or LVDS level outputs. When
selected as CMOS, each output becomes a pair of CMOS outputs,
each of which can be individually turned on or off and set as
noninverting or inverting. These outputs are 3.3 V CMOS
compatible.

Because of the limitations of single-ended CMOS clocking,
consider using differential outputs when driving high speed
signals over long traces. The AD9516 offers both LVPECL and
LVDS outputs that are better suited for driving long traces where
the inherent noise immunity of differential signaling provides
superior performance for clocking converters.
