GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9515 features a two-output clock distribution IC in a
design that emphasizes low jitter and phase noise to maximize
data converter performance. Other applications with
demanding phase noise and jitter requirements also benefit
from this part.
There are two independent clock outputs. One output is
LVPECL, while the other output can be set to either LVDS or
CMOS levels. The LVPECL output operates to 1.6 GHz. The
other output operates to 800 MHz in LVDS mode and to
250 MHz in CMOS mode.
Each output has a programmable divider that can be set to
divide by a selected set of integers ranging from 1 to 32. The
phase of one clock output relative to the other clock output can
be set by means of a divider phase select function that serves as
a coarse timing adjustment.
The LVDS/CMOS output features a delay element with three
selectable full-scale delay values (1.5 ns, 5 ns, and 10 ns), each
with 16 steps of fine adjustment.
The AD9515 does not require an external controller for
operation or setup. The device is programmed by means of
11 pins (S0 to S10) using 4-level logic. The programming pins
are internally biased to ⅓ VS. The VREF pin provides a level of
⅔ VS. VS (3.3 V) and GND (0 V) provide the other two logic levels.
The AD9515 is ideally suited for data converter clocking
applications where maximum converter performance is
achieved by encode signals with subpicosecond jitter.
The AD9515 is available in a 32-lead LFCSP and operates from
a single 3.3 V supply. The temperature range is −40°C to +85°C.

This is the rise time of the VS supply that is required to ensure that a synchronization of the outputs occurs on power-up. The critical factor is the time it takes the VS to
transition the range from 2.2 V to 3 .1 V. If the rise time is too slow, the outputs will not be synchronized.

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 degrees
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 there are many
causes that can contribute to phase jitter, one major component
is due to random noise that 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 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 also 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 is
seen to vary. For a square wave, the time jitter is seen as 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. Since 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 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
It 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 has been subtracted. This makes it
possible to predict the degree to which the device affects the
total system phase noise when used in conjunction with the
various oscillators and clock sources, each of which contribute
their own phase noise to the total. In many cases, the phase
noise of one element dominates the system phase noise.
Additive Time Jitter
It 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 has been subtracted. This makes it
possible to predict the degree to which the device will affect the
total system time jitter when used in conjunction with the
various oscillators and clock sources, each of which contribute
their own time jitter to the total. In many cases, the time jitter of
the external oscillators and clock sources dominates the system
time jitter.

The AD9515 provides for the distribution of its input clock on
one or both of its outputs. OUT0 is an LVPECL output. OUT1
can be set to either LVDS or CMOS logic levels. Each output
has its own divider that can be set for a divide ratio selected
from a list of integer values from 1 (bypassed) to 32.
INTERNAL SYNC NODE
CLK, CLKB—DIFFERENTIAL CLOCK INPUT
Figure 24. Power-On Sync Timing
The CLK and CLKB pins are differential clock input pins.
This input works up to 1600 MHz. The jitter performance is
degraded by a slew rate below 1 V/ns. The input level should be
between approximately 150 mV p-p to no more than 2 V p-p.
Anything greater can result in turning on the protection diodes
on the input pins.
See Figure 23 for the CLK equivalent input circuit. This
input is fully differential and self-biased. The signal should be
ac-coupled using capacitors. If a single-ended input must be
used, this can be accommodated by ac coupling to one side of
the differential input only. The other side of the input should be
bypassed to a quiet ac ground by a capacitor.
If the setup configuration of the AD9515 is changed during
operation, the outputs can become unsynchronized. The
outputs can be re-synchronized to each other at any time.
Synchronization occurs when the SYNCB pin is pulled low and
released. The clock outputs (except where divide = 1) are forced
into a fixed state (determined by the divide and phase settings)
and held there in a static condition, until the SYNCB pin is
returned to high. Upon release of the SYNCB pin, after four
cycles of the clock signal at CLK, all outputs continue clocking
in synchronicity (except where divide = 1).
When divide = 1 for an output, that output is not affected by
SYNCB.

Power-On SYNC
A power-on sync (POS) is issued when the VS power supply is
turned on to ensure that the outputs start in synchronization.
The power-on sync works only if the VS power supply transitions the region from 2.2 V to 3.1 V within 35 ms. The POS can
occur up to 65 ms after VS crosses 2.2 V. Only outputs which are
not divide = 1 are synchronized.
The outputs of the AD9515 can be synchronized by using the
SYNCB pin. Synchronization aligns the phases of the clock
outputs, respecting any phase offset that has been set on an
output’s divider.

The SYNCB pin must be pulled up for normal operation. Do
not let the SYNCB pin float.
RSET RESISTOR
The internal bias currents of the AD9515 are set by the
RSET resistor. This resistor should be as close as possible to
the value given as a condition in the Specifications section
(RSET = 4.12 kΩ). This is a standard 1% resistor value and should
be readily obtainable. The bias currents set by this resistor
determine the logic levels and operating conditions of the
internal blocks of the AD9515. The performance figures given
in the Specifications section assume that this resistor value is
used for RSET.
VREF
The VREF pin provides a voltage level of ⅔ VS. This voltage is
one of the four logic levels used by the setup pins (S0 to S10).
These pins set the operation of the AD9515. The VREF pin
provides sufficient drive capability to drive as many of the setup
pins as necessary, up to all on a single part. The VREF pin
should be used for no other purpose.
SETUP CONFIGURATION
The specific operation of the AD9515 is set by the logic levels
applied to the setup pins (S10 to S0). These pins use four-state
logic. The logic levels used are VS and GND, plus ⅓ VS and
⅔ VS. The ⅓ VS level is provided by the internal self-biasing on
each of the setup pins (S10 to S0). This is the level seen by a
setup pin that is left not connected (NC). The ⅔ VS level is
05597-023

60k
Figure 28. Setup Pin (S0 to S10) Equivalent Circuit
The AD9515 operation is determined by the combination of
logic levels present at the setup pins. The setup configurations
for the AD9515 are shown in Table 10 to Table 15. The four
logic levels are referred to as 0, ⅓, ⅔, and 1. These numbers
represent the fraction of the VS voltage that defines the logic
levels. See the setup pin thresholds in Table 6.
The meaning of some of the setup pins depends on the logic
level set on other pins. For example, the effect of the S9/S10 pair
of pins depends on the state of S8. S8 selects whether the phase
value selected by S9/S10 affects either OUT0 or OUT1. In
addition, if OUT1 is selected to have its phase controlled, the
effect further depends on the state of S0. If S = 0, the delay block
for OUT1 is bypassed, and the logic levels on S9/S10 set the
phase value of the OUT1 divider. However, if S0 ≠ 0, then the
full-scale delay for OUT1 is set by the logic level on S0, and
S9/S10 set the delay block fine delay (fraction of full scale).
Additionally, if a nonzero phase value is selected by S2/S3/S4
(for OUT0) or S5/S6/S7 (for OUT1), this phase overrides the
phase value selected by S9/S10. This allows a phase delay to be
selected on OUT0 while also selecting a time delay on OUT1.
S1 selects the logic level of each output. OUT0 is LVPECL. The
LVPECL output differential voltage (VOD) can be selected from
two levels: 400 mV or 780 mV. OUT1 can be set to either LVDS
or CMOS levels.
OUT0 can be turned off (powered down) by setting S2/S3/S4 to
0/1/0. OUT1 can be turned off by setting S5/S6/S7 to 0/1/0.
Do not set S2/S3/S4/S5/S6/S7 to 1/1/1/1/1/1.

DIVIDER PHASE OFFSET
The phase offset of OUT0 and OUT1 can be selected (see Table 12
to Table 15). This allows the relative phase of OUT0 and OUT1
to be set.
After a SYNC operation (see the Synchronization section), the
phase offset word of each divider determines the number of
input clock (CLK) cycles to wait before initiating a clock output
edge. By giving each divider a different phase offset, output-tooutput delays can be set in increments of the fast clock period, tCLK.
Figure 29 shows four cases, each with the divider set to divide = 4.
By incrementing the phase offset from 0 to 3, the output is
offset from the initial edge by a multiple of tCLK.

The resolution of the phase offset is set by the fast clock period
(tCLK) at CLK. The maximum unique phase offset is less than the
divide ratio, up to a phase offset of 15.
Phase offsets can be related to degrees by calculating the phase
step for a particular divide ratio:
Phase Step = 360°/Divide Ratio
Using some of the same examples:
Divide = 4
Phase Step = 360°/4 = 90°

Figure 30. Analog Delay Block
For Divide = 4:
The amount of delay that can be used is determined by the
output frequency. The amount of delay is limited to less than
one-half cycle of the clock period. For example, for a 10 MHz
clock, the delay can extend to the full 10 ns maximum. However,
for a 100 MHz clock, the maximum delay is less than 5 ns (or
half of the period).
Phase Offset 0 = 0 ns
Phase Offset 1 = 2.0345 ns
Phase Offset 2 = 4.069 ns
Phase Offset 3 = 6.104 ns
The AD9515 allows for the selection of three full-scale delays,
1.5 ns, 5 ns, and 10 ns, set by delay full scale (see Table 10). Each
of these full-scale delays can be scaled by 16 fine adjustment
values, which are set by the delay word (see Table 14 and Table 15).
The outputs can also be described as:
Phase Offset 0 = 0°
Phase Offset 1 = 90°
Phase Offset 2 = 180°
Phase Offset 3 = 270°
Setting the phase offset to Phase = 4 results in the same relative
phase as Phase = 0° or 360°.
The delay block adds some jitter to the output. This means that
the delay function should be used primarily for clocking digital
chips, such as FPGA, ASIC, DUC, and DDC, rather than for
supplying a sample clock for data converters. The jitter is higher
for longer full scales because the delay block uses a ramp and
trip points to create the variable delay. A longer ramp means
more noise has a chance of being introduced.

When the delay block is OFF (bypassed), it is also powered
down.
POWER SUPPLY
OUTPUTS
The AD9515 offers three different output level choices:
LVPECL, LVDS, and CMOS. OUT0/OUT0B offers an LVPECL
differential output. The LVPECL differential voltage swing
(VOD) can be selected as either 400 mV or 790 mV (see Table 11).
OUT1/OUT1B can be selected as either an LVDS differential
output or a pair of CMOS single-ended outputs. If selected as
CMOS, OUT1 is a noninverted, single-ended output, and
OUT1B is an inverted, single-ended output.
3.3V
The AD9515 requires a 3.3 V ± 5% power supply for VS. The
tables in the Specifications section give the performance
expected from the AD9515 with the power supply voltage
within this range. In no case should the absolute maximum
range of −0.3 V to +3.6 V, with respect to GND, be exceeded
on Pin VS.
Good engineering practice should be followed in the layout of
power supply traces and the ground plane of the PCB. The
power supply should be bypassed on the PCB with adequate
capacitance (>10 µF). The AD9515 should be bypassed with
adequate capacitors (0.1 µF) at all power pins as close as
possible to the part. The layout of the AD9515 evaluation
board (AD9515/PCB) is a good example.

Exposed Metal Paddle
POWER MANAGEMENT
The exposed metal paddle on the AD9515 package is an
electrical connection, as well as a thermal enhancement. For
the device to function properly, the paddle must be properly
attached to ground (GND).
In some cases, the AD9515 can be configured to use less power
by turning off functions that are not being used.
The exposed paddle of the AD9515 package must be soldered
down. The AD9515 must dissipate heat through its exposed
paddle. The PCB acts as a heat sink for the AD9515. The PCB
attachment must provide a good thermal path to a larger heat
dissipation area, such as a ground plane on the PCB. This
requires a grid of vias from the top layer down to the ground
plane (see Figure 34). The AD9515 evaluation board
(AD9515/PCB)provides a good example of how the part
should be attached to the PCB.
•
A divider is powered down when set to divide = 1
(bypassed).
•
Adjustable delay block on OUT1 is powered down when in
off mode (S0 = 0).
•
An unneeded output can be powered down (see Table 12
and Table 13). This also powers down the divider for that
output.
The power-saving options include the following:

APPLICATIONS
USING THE AD9515 OUTPUTS FOR ADC CLOCK
APPLICATIONS
Any high speed, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is extremely
sensitive to the quality of the sampling clock provided by the
user. 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 A/D output. Clock integrity requirements scale with the analog input frequency and resolution,
with higher analog input frequency applications at ≥14-bit
resolution being the most stringent. The theoretical SNR of an
ADC is limited by the ADC resolution and the jitter on the
sampling clock. Considering an ideal ADC of infinite resolution
where the step size and quantization error can be ignored, the
available SNR can be expressed approximately by
 1 
SNR = 20 × log 

 2πft J 
where f is the highest analog frequency being digitized.
tj is the rms jitter on the sampling clock.
Figure 35 shows the required sampling clock jitter as a function
of the analog frequency and effective number of bits (ENOB).

LVPECL CLOCK DISTRIBUTION
The low voltage, positive emitter-coupled, logic (LVPECL)
outputs of the AD9515 provide the lowest jitter clock signals
available from the AD9515. The LVPECL outputs (because they
are open emitter) require a dc termination to bias the output
transistors. The simplified equivalent circuit in Figure 31 shows
the LVPECL output stage.
In most applications, a standard LVPECL far-end termination is
recommended, as shown in Figure 36. The resistor network is
designed to match the transmission line impedance (50 Ω) and
the switching threshold (VS − 1.3 V).

Many high performance ADCs feature differential clock inputs
to simplify the task of providing the required low jitter clock on
a noisy PCB. (Distributing a single-ended clock on a noisy PCB
can result in coupled noise on the sample clock. Differential
distribution has inherent common-mode rejection that can
provide superior clock performance in a noisy environment.)
The AD9515 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, termination) should be considered when selecting the best
clocking/converter solution.
AD9515
Data Sheet
LVDS CLOCK DISTRIBUTION
Termination at the far end of the PCB trace is a second option.
The CMOS outputs of the AD9515 do not supply enough
current to provide a full voltage swing with a low impedance
resistive, far-end termination, as shown in Figure 40. 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 AD9515 provides one clock output (OUT2) that is
selectable as either CMOS or LVDS levels. Low voltage
differential signaling (LVDS) is a differential output option
for OUT2. LVDS uses a current mode output stage. The
current is 3.5 mA, which yields 350 mV output swing across
a 100 Ω resistor. The LVDS output meets or exceeds all
ANSI/TIA/EIA-644 specifications.
A recommended termination circuit for the LVDS outputs
is shown in Figure 38.

CMOS CLOCK DISTRIBUTION
The AD9515 provides one output (OUT1) that is selectable as
either CMOS or LVDS levels. When selected as CMOS, this
output provides for driving devices requiring CMOS level logic
at their clock inputs.
Whenever single-ended CMOS clocking is used, some of the
following general guidelines should be used.
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.
10Ω
Because of the limitations of single-ended CMOS clocking,
consider using differential outputs when driving high speed
signals over long traces. The AD9515 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.
SETUP PINS (S0 TO S10)
The setup pins that require a logic level of ⅓ VS (internal selfbias) should be tied together and bypassed to ground via a
capacitor.
The setup pins that require a logic level of ⅔ VS should be tied
together, along with the VREF pin, and bypassed to ground via
a capacitor.
POWER AND GROUNDING CONSIDERATIONS AND
POWER SUPPLY REJECTION
Many applications seek high speed and performance under less
than ideal operating conditions. In these application circuits, the
implementation and construction of the PCB is as important
as the circuit design. Proper RF techniques must be used for
device selection, placement, and routing, as well as power
supply bypassing and grounding to ensure optimum
performance.
