GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9684 is a dual, 14-bit, 500 MSPS ADC. The device has
an on-chip buffer and a sample-and-hold circuit designed for
low power, small size, and ease of use. This product is designed
for sampling wide bandwidth analog signals. The AD9684 is
optimized for wide input bandwidth, a high sampling rate,
excellent linearity, and low power in a small package.
The dual ADC cores feature a multistage, differential pipelined
architecture with integrated output error correction logic. Each
ADC features wide bandwidth buffered inputs, supporting a
variety of user selectable input ranges. An integrated voltage
reference eases design considerations. Each ADC data output is
internally connected to an optional decimate by 2 block.
The analog input and clock signals are differential inputs. Each
ADC data output is internally connected to two digital
downconverters (DDCs). Each DDC consists of four cascaded
signal processing stages: a 12-bit frequency translator (NCO),
and three half-band decimation filters supporting a divide by
factor of two, four, and eight.

AD9684
The AD9684 has several functions that simplify the automatic
gain control (AGC) function in a communications receiver. The
programmable threshold detector allows monitoring of the
incoming signal power using the fast detect output bits of the
ADC. If the input signal level exceeds the programmable
threshold, the fast detect indicator goes high. Because this
threshold indicator has low latency, the user can quickly reduce
the system gain to avoid an overrange condition at the ADC
input. In addition to the fast detect outputs, the AD9684 also
offers signal monitoring capability. The signal monitoring block
provides additional information about the signal that the ADC
digitized.
The dual ADC output data is routed directly to the one external,
14-bit LVDS output port, supporting double data rate (DDR)
formatting. An external data clock and status bit are offered for
data capture flexibility.
The LVDS outputs have several configurations, depending on
the acceptable rate of the receiving logic device and the sampling
rate of the ADC. Multiple device synchronization is supported
through the SYNC± input pins.
The AD9684 has flexible power-down options that allow
significant power savings when desired. All of these features can
be programmed using a 1.8 V to 3.4 V capable 3-wire serial port
interface (SPI).
The AD9684 is available in a Pb-free, 196-ball ball grid array
(BGA) and is specified over the −40°C to +85°C industrial
temperature range. This product is protected by a U.S. patent.

Rating
Typical θJA, θJB, and θJC are specified vs. the number of printed
circuit board (PCB) layers in different airflow velocities (in
m/sec). Airflow increases heat dissipation effectively reducing
θJA and θJB. The use of appropriate thermal management
techniques is recommended to ensure that the maximum
junction temperature does not exceed the limits shown in Table 7.

AD9684
Data Sheet
THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD9684 has several functions that simplify the AGC
function in a communications receiver. The programmable
threshold detector allows monitoring of the incoming signal
power using the fast detect output bits of the ADC. If the input
signal level exceeds the programmable threshold, the fast detect
indicator goes high. Because this threshold indicator has low
latency, the user can quickly reduce the system gain to avoid an
overrange condition at the ADC input.
The LVDS outputs can be configured depending on the
decimation ratio. Multiple device synchronization is supported
through the SYNC± input pins.
ADC ARCHITECTURE
The architecture of the AD9684 consists of an input buffered pipelined ADC. The input buffer provides a termination impedance to
the analog input signal. This termination impedance can be
changed using the SPI to meet the termination needs of the driver/
amplifier. The default termination value is set to 400 Ω. The input
buffer is optimized for high linearity, low noise, and low power.
The input buffer provides a linear high input impedance (for
ease of drive) and reduces kickback from the ADC. The buffer
is optimized for high linearity, low noise, and low power. The
quantized outputs from each stage are combined into a final
14-bit result in the digital correction logic. The pipelined
architecture permits the first stage to operate with a new input
sample, whereas the remaining stages operate with the preceding
samples. Sampling occurs on the rising edge of the clock.
ANALOG INPUT CONSIDERATIONS
The analog input to the AD9684 is a differential buffer. The
internal common-mode voltage of the buffer is 2.05 V. The
clock signal alternately switches the input circuit between
sample mode and hold mode. When the input circuit is switched
into sample mode, the signal source must be capable of charging
the sample capacitors and settling within one-half of a clock cycle.
A small resistor, in series with each input, helps reduce the peak
transient current injected from the output stage of the driving
source. In addition, low Q inductors or ferrite beads can be placed
on each leg of the input to reduce high differential capacitance
at the analog inputs and, thus, achieve the maximum bandwidth
of the ADC. Such use of low Q inductors or ferrite beads is
required when driving the converter front end at high IF
For best dynamic performance, the source impedances driving
VIN+x and VIN−x must be matched such that common-mode
settling errors are symmetrical. These errors are reduced by the
common-mode rejection of the ADC. An internal reference buffer
creates a differential reference that defines the span of the ADC core.
Maximum SNR performance is achieved by setting the ADC to
the largest span in a differential configuration. In the case of the
AD9684, the available span is 2.06 V p-p differential.
Differential Input Configurations
There are several ways to drive the AD9684, either actively or
passively. However, optimum performance is achieved by
driving the analog input differentially.
For applications in which SNR and SFDR are key parameters,
differential transformer coupling is the recommended input
configuration because the noise performance of most amplifiers
is not adequate to achieve the true performance of the AD9684.
For low to midrange frequencies, a double balun or double
transformer network is recommended for optimum performance
of the AD9684 (see Figure 39). For higher frequencies in the
second and third Nyquist zones, it is better to remove some of
the front-end passive components to ensure wideband
operation (see Figure 40).

eases design considerations.
frequencies. Place either a differential capacitor or two singleended capacitors on the inputs to provide a matching passive
network. This ultimately creates a low-pass filter at the input, which
limits unwanted broadband noise. For more information, see the
AN-742 Application Note, the AN-827 Application Note, and the
Analog Dialogue article “Transformer-Coupled Front-End for
Wideband A/D Converters” (Volume 39, April 2005). In general,
the precise values depend on the application.

The AD9684 has two analog input channels and 14 LVDS
output lane pairs. The ADC is designed to sample wide
bandwidth analog signals of up to 2 GHz. The AD9684 is
optimized for wide input bandwidth, a high sampling rate,
excellent linearity, and low power in a small package.

The analog inputs of the AD9684 are internally biased to the
common mode as shown in Figure 41. The common-mode
buffer has a limited range in that the performance suffers greatly
if the common-mode voltage drops by more than 100 mV.
Therefore, in dc-coupled applications, set the common-mode
voltage to 2.05 V ± 100 mV to ensure proper ADC operation.

better to run the ADC at input amplitudes less than −1 dBFS
(−3 dBFS, for example). This greatly improves the linearity of
the converted signal without sacrificing SNR performance.

AD9684
Data Sheet
The use of an external reference may be necessary, in some
applications, to enhance the gain accuracy of the ADC or
improve thermal drift characteristics. Figure 47 shows the
typical drift characteristics of the internal 1.0 V reference.
Table 9 shows the recommended buffer current and full-scale
voltage settings for the different analog input frequency ranges.
Absolute Maximum Input Swing
The absolute maximum input swing allowed at the inputs of the
AD9684 is 4.3 V p-p differential. Signals operating near or at
this level can cause permanent damage to the ADC.

AD9684
CLOCK INPUT CONSIDERATIONS
Input Clock Divider
For optimum performance, drive the AD9684 sample clock
inputs (CLK+ and CLK−) with a differential signal. This signal
is typically ac-coupled to the CLK+ and CLK− pins via a
transformer or clock drivers. These pins are biased internally
and require no additional biasing.
The AD9684 contains an input clock divider with the ability to
divide the Nyquist input clock by 1, 2, 4, and 8. The divider
ratios can be selected using Register 0x10B. This is shown in
Figure 52.
Figure 49 shows a preferred method for clocking the AD9684. The
low jitter clock source is converted from a single-ended signal to
a differential signal using an RF transformer.

Figure 52. Clock Divider Circuit
The AD9684 clock divider can be synchronized using the external
SYNC± input. A valid SYNC± input causes the clock divider to
reset to a programmable state. This feature is enabled by setting
Bit 7 of Register 0x10D. This synchronization feature allows
multiple devices to have their clock dividers aligned to guarantee
simultaneous input sampling.

CLOCK
INPUT
The maximum frequency at the CLK± inputs is 4 GHz. This is
the limit of the divider. In applications where the clock input is
a multiple of the sample clock, the appropriate divider ratio
must be programmed into the clock divider before applying the
clock signal. This ensures that the current transients during
device startup are controlled.
Figure 51. Differential LVDS Sample Clock
Clock Duty Cycle Considerations
Typical high speed ADCs use both clock edges to generate a
variety of internal timing signals. As a result, these ADCs may
be sensitive to the clock duty cycle. Commonly, a 5% tolerance
is required on the clock duty cycle to maintain dynamic performance
characteristics. In applications where the clock duty cycle cannot
be guaranteed to be 50%, a higher multiple frequency clock can be
supplied to the device. The AD9684 can be clocked at 2 GHz with
the internal clock divider set to 2. The output of the divider offers
a 50% duty cycle, high slew rate (fast edge) clock signal to the
internal ADC. See the Memory Map section for more details on
using this feature.
To adjust the AD9684 sampling edge instant, write to Register 0x117
and Register 0x118. Setting Bit 0 of Register 0x117 enables the fine
delay feature, and Register 0x118, Bits[7:0] set the value of the
delay. This value can be programmed individually for each channel.
The clock delay can be adjusted from −151.7 ps to +150 ps in
~1.7 ps increments. The clock delay adjust takes effect immediately
when it is enabled via SPI writes. Enabling the clock fine delay
adjustment in Register 0x117 causes a datapath reset.
Clock Jitter Considerations
High speed, high resolution ADCs are sensitive to the quality of
the clock input. The degradation in SNR at a given input
frequency (fA) due only to aperture jitter (tJ) can be calculated by
SNR = 20 × log 10 (2 × π × fA × tJ)
In this equation, the rms aperture jitter represents the root mean
square of all jitter sources, including the clock input, analog input
signal, and ADC aperture jitter specifications. IF undersampling
applications are particularly sensitive to jitter (see Figure 53).

Figure 53. Ideal SNR vs. Analog Input Frequency and Jitter
Treat the clock input as an analog signal when aperture jitter
may affect the dynamic range of the AD9684. Separate the power
supplies for the clock drivers from the ADC output driver
supplies to avoid modulating the clock signal with digital noise. If
the clock is generated from another type of source (by gating,
dividing, or other methods), retime the clock by the original clock
at the last step. For more in-depth information about jitter
performance as it relates to ADCs, see the AN-501 Application
Note and the AN-756 Application Note.
Figure 54 shows the estimated SNR of the AD9684 across the
input frequency for different clock induced jitter values. Estimate
the SNR using the following equation:
 − SNR JITTER 
  − SNR ADC 


The AD9684 contains a diode-based temperature sensor for
measuring the temperature of the die. This diode can output a
voltage and serve as a coarse temperature sensor to monitor the
internal die temperature.
The temperature diode voltage can be output to the FD_A pin
using the SPI. Use Register 0x028, Bit 0 to enable or disable the
diode. Register 0x028 is a local register. Channel A must be
selected in the device index register (Register 0x008) to enable
the temperature diode readout. Configure the FD_A pin to
output the diode voltage by programming Register 0x040,
Bits[2:0]. See Table 29 for more information.

AD9684
ADC OVERRANGE AND FAST DETECT
The operation of the upper threshold and lower threshold
registers, along with the dwell time registers, is shown in
Figure 56.
In receiver applications, it is desirable to have a mechanism to
reliably determine when the converter is about to be clipped.
The standard overrange pin outputs information on the state of
the analog input. It is also helpful to have a programmable
threshold below full scale that allows time to reduce the gain
before the clip actually occurs. In addition, because input
signals can have significant slew rates, the latency of this
function is of major concern. Highly pipelined converters can
have significant latency. The AD9684 contains fast detect
circuitry for individual channels to monitor the threshold and
assert the FD_A and FD_B pins.
The FD_x indicator is asserted if the input magnitude exceeds
the value programmed in the fast detect upper threshold
registers, in Register 0x247 and Register 0x248. The selected
threshold register is compared with the signal magnitude at the
output of the ADC. The fast upper threshold detection has a
latency of 28 clock cycles (maximum). The approximate upper
threshold magnitude is defined by
Upper Threshold Magnitude (dBFS) = 20log(Threshold
Magnitude/213)
ADC OVERRANGE
The ADC overrange indicator is asserted when an overrange is
detected on the input of the ADC. The overrange indicator can
be output on the STATUS± pins (when CSB > 0). The latency of
this overrange indicator matches the sample latency.
The FD indicators are not cleared until the signal drops below
the lower threshold for the programmed dwell time. The lower
threshold is programmed in the fast detect lower threshold
registers, in Register 0x249 and Register 0x24A. The fast detect
lower threshold register is a 13-bit register that is compared with
the signal magnitude at the output of the ADC. This
comparison is subject to the ADC pipeline latency, but is
accurate in terms of converter resolution. The lower threshold
magnitude is defined by
The AD9684 also records any overrange condition in any of the
four virtual converters. The overrange status of each virtual
converter is registered as a sticky bit in Register 0x563. The
contents of Register 0x563 can be cleared using Register 0x562,
by toggling the bits corresponding to the virtual converter to set
and reset the position.
Lower Threshold Magnitude (dBFS) = 20log(Threshold
Magnitude/213)
FAST THRESHOLD DETECTION (FD_A AND FD_B)
For example, to set an upper threshold of −6 dBFS, write 0xFFF
to Register 0x247 and Register 0x248. To set a lower threshold
of −10 dBFS, write 0xA1D to Register 0x249 and Register 0x24A.
The fast detect (FD) bit (enabled via the control bits in
Register 0x559) is immediately set whenever the absolute value
of the input signal exceeds the programmable upper threshold
level. The FD bit is cleared only when the absolute value of the
input signal drops below the lower threshold level for greater
than the programmable dwell time. This feature provides
hysteresis and prevents the FD bit from excessively toggling.
The dwell time can be programmed from 1 to 65,535 sample
clock cycles by placing the desired value in the fast detect dwell
time registers, in Register 0x24B and Register 0x24C. See the
Memory Map section (Register 0x040, and Register 0x245 to
Register 0x24C in Table 29) for more details.

SIGNAL MONITOR
The signal monitor block provides additional information about
the signal being digitized by the ADC. The signal monitor
computes the peak magnitude of the digitized signal. This
information can be used to drive an AGC loop to optimize the
range of the ADC in the presence of real-world signals.
The results of the signal monitor block can be obtained by
reading back the internal values from the SPI port. A global, 24-bit
programmable period controls the duration of the measurement.
Figure 57 shows the simplified block diagram of the signal
monitor block.
The peak detector captures the largest signal within the
observation period. The detector only observes the magnitude
of the signal. The resolution of the peak detector is a 13-bit
value and the observation period is 24 bits and represents
converter output samples.
Derive the peak magnitude using the following equation:
Peak Magnitude (dBFS) = 20log(Peak Detector Value/213)
The magnitude of the input port signal is monitored over a
programmable time period, which is determined by the signal
SIGNAL MONITOR
PERIOD REGISTER
(SMPR)
REG 0x271, REG 0x272, REG 0x273
After enabling this mode, the value in the SMPR is loaded into a
monitor period timer that decrements at the decimated clock
rate. The magnitude of the input signal is compared with the
value in the internal magnitude storage register (not accessible
to the user), and the greater of the two is updated as the current
peak level. The initial value of the magnitude storage register is
set to the current ADC input signal magnitude. This comparison
continues until the monitor period timer reaches a count of 1.
When the monitor period timer reaches a count of 1, the 13-bit
peak level value is transferred to the signal monitor holding
register, which can be read through the memory map. The
monitor period timer is reloaded with the value in the SMPR,
and the countdown is restarted. In addition, the magnitude of
the first input sample is updated in the magnitude storage
register.

AD9684
DIGITAL DOWNCONVERTERS (DDCs)
The AD9684 includes four digital downconverters that provide
filtering and reduce the output data rate. This digital processing
section includes an NCO, a half-band decimating filter, a finite
impulse response (FIR) filter, a gain stage, and a complex to real
conversion stage. Each of these processing blocks has a control
line that allows the block to be independently enabled and
disabled to provide the desired processing function. The DDCs
can be configured to output either real data or complex output data.
DDC I/Q INPUT SELECTION
The AD9684 has two ADC channels and four DDC channels.
Each DDC channel has two input ports that can be paired to
support both real and complex inputs through the I/Q crossbar
mux. For real signals, both DDC input ports must select the
same ADC channel (that is, DDC Input Port I = ADC Channel A
and DDC Input Port Q = ADC Channel A). For complex
signals, each DDC input port must select different ADC
channels (that is, DDC Input Port I = ADC Channel A and
DDC Input Port Q = ADC Channel B).
The inputs to each DDC are controlled by the DDC input selection
registers (Register 0x311, Register 0x331, Register 0x351, and
Register 0x371). See Table 29 for information on how to
configure the DDCs.
DDC I/Q OUTPUT SELECTION
Each DDC channel has two output ports that can be paired to
support both real or complex outputs. For real output signals,
only the DDC Output Port I is used (the DDC Output Port Q is
invalid). For complex I/Q output signals, both DDC Output
Port I and DDC Output Port Q are used.
The I/Q outputs to each DDC channel are controlled by the
DDC complex to real enable bit in the DDC control registers
(Bit 3 in Register 0x310, Register 0x330, Register 0x350, and
Register 0x370).
The Chip I only bit in the chip application mode register
(Register 0x200, Bit 5) controls the chip output muxing of all
the DDC channels. When all DDC channels use real outputs,
set this bit high to ignore all DDC Q output ports. When any of
the DDC channels are set to use complex I/Q outputs, the user
must clear this bit to use both DDC Output Port I and DDC
Output Port Q.
DDC GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The four DDC blocks extract a portion of the full digital
spectrum captured by the ADCs. They are intended for IF
sampling or oversampled baseband radios requiring wide
bandwidth input signals.
Each DDC block contains the following signal processing stages:
•
•
•
•
Frequency translation stage (optional)
Filtering stage
Gain stage (optional)
Complex to real conversion stage (optional)
Frequency Translation Stage (Optional)
This stage consists of a 12-bit complex NCO and quadrature
mixers that can be used for frequency translation of both real or
complex input signals. This stage shifts a portion of the available
digital spectrum down to baseband.
Filtering Stage
After shifting down to baseband, this stage decimates the
frequency spectrum using a chain of up to four half-band, lowpass filters for rate conversion. The decimation process lowers
the output data rate, which, in turn, reduces the output interface
rate.
Gain Stage (Optional)
Due to losses associated with mixing a real input signal down to
baseband, this stage compensates by adding an additional 0 dB
or 6 dB of gain.
Complex to Real Conversion Stage (Optional)
When real outputs are necessary, this stage converts the complex
outputs back to real outputs by performing an fS/4 mixing
operation in addition to a filter to remove the complex
component of the signal.
Figure 58 shows the detailed block diagram of the DDCs
implemented in the AD9684.

Figure 59 shows an example usage of one of the four DDC
blocks with a real input signal and four half-band filters (HB4 +
HB3 + HB2 + HB1). It shows both complex (decimate by 16)
and real (decimate by 8) output options.
When DDCs have different decimation ratios, the chip decimation
ratio (Register 0x201) must be set to the lowest decimation ratio
for all the DDC blocks. In this scenario, samples of higher decimation ratio DDCs are repeated to match the chip decimation ratio
sample rate. Whenever the NCO frequency is set or changed,
the DDC soft reset must be issued. If the DDC soft reset is not
issued, the output may potentially show amplitude variations.
Table 10 through Table 15 show the DDC samples when the
chip decimation ratio is set to 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16, respectively.
When DDCs have different decimation ratios, the chip
decimation ratio must be set to the lowest decimation ratio of
all the DDC channels. In this scenario, samples of higher
decimation ratio DDCs are repeated to match the chip
decimation ratio sample rate.

For example, if the chip decimation ratio is set to decimate by 4,
DDC 0 is set to use HB2 + HB1 filters (complex outputs,
decimate by 4) and DDC 1 is set to use HB4 + HB3 + HB2 +
HB1 filters (real outputs, decimate by 8). DDC 1 repeats its
output data two times for every one DDC 0 output. The

FREQUENCY TRANSLATION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Variable IF Mode
Frequency translation is accomplished using a 12-bit complex
NCO with a digital quadrature mixer. The frequency translation
translates either a real or complex input signal from an IF to a
baseband complex digital output (carrier frequency = 0 Hz).
The NCO and the mixers are enabled. The NCO output
frequency can be used to digitally tune the IF frequency.
0 Hz IF (ZIF) Mode
The mixers are bypassed and the NCO is disabled.
The frequency translation stage of each DDC can be controlled
individually and supports four different IF modes using Bits[5:4] of
the DDC control registers (Register 0x310, Register 0x330,
Register 0x350, and Register 0x370). These IF modes are
The mixers and the NCO are enabled in a special downmixing
by fS/4 mode to save power.
Test Mode
Variable IF mode
0 Hz IF, or zero IF (ZIF), mode
fS/4 Hz IF mode
Test mode
The input samples are forced to 0.999 × full scale to positive full
scale. The NCO is enabled. This test mode allows the NCOs to
drive the decimation filters directly.
Figure 60 and Figure 61 show examples of the frequency
translation stage for both real and complex inputs.

Figure 61. DDC NCO Frequency Tuning Word Selection—Complex Inputs
DDC NCO PLUS MIXER LOSS AND SFDR
Setting Up the NCO FTW and POW
When mixing a real input signal down to baseband, 6 dB of loss
is introduced in the signal due to filtering of the negative image.
The NCO introduces an additional 0.05 dB of loss. The total
loss of a real input signal mixed down to baseband is 6.05 dB. For
this reason, it is recommended to compensate for this loss by
enabling the 6 dB of gain in the gain stage of the DDC to
recenter the dynamic range of the signal within the full scale of
the output bits.
The NCO frequency value is given by the 12-bit, twos
complement number entered in the NCO FTW. Frequencies
between ±fS/2 (+fS/2 excluded) are represented using the
following frequency words:
When mixing a complex input signal down to baseband, the
maximum value that each I/Q sample can reach is 1.414 × full
scale after it passes through the complex mixer. To avoid an
overrange of the I/Q samples and to keep the data bit-widths
aligned with real mixing, introduce 3.06 dB of loss (0.707 × fullscale) in the mixer for complex signals. The NCO introduces an
additional 0.05 dB of loss. The total loss of a complex input
signal mixed down to baseband is −3.11 dB.
The worst case spurious signal from the NCO is greater than
102 dBc SFDR for all output frequencies.
NUMERICALLY CONTROLLED OSCILLATOR
The AD9684 has a 12-bit NCO for each DDC that enables the
frequency translation process. The NCO allows the input
spectrum to be tuned to dc, where it can be effectively filtered
by the subsequent filter blocks to prevent aliasing. The NCO
can be set up by providing a frequency tuning word (FTW) and
a phase offset word (POW).
•
•
•
0x800 represents a frequency of −fS/2.
0x000 represents dc (frequency is 0 Hz).
0x7FF represents a frequency of +fS/2 − fS/212.
Calculate the NCO frequency tuning word using the following
equation:

mod ( f C , f S ) 

NCO_ FTW = round 212

fS


where:
NCO_FTW is a 12-bit, twos complement number representing
the NCO FTW.
fC is the desired carrier frequency in Hz.
fS is the AD9684 sampling frequency (clock rate) in Hz.
mod( ) is a remainder function. For example, mod(110,100) =
10, and for negative numbers, mod(−32, +10) = −2.
round( ) is a rounding function. For example, round(3.6) = 4,
and for negative numbers, round(−3.4) = −3.
Note that this equation applies to the aliasing of signals in the
digital domain (that is, aliasing introduced when digitizing
analog signals).

AD9684
For example, if the ADC sampling frequency (fS) is 1250 MSPS
and the carrier frequency (fC) is 416.667 MHz,
Use the following two methods to synchronize multiple PAWs
within the chip:
 mod( 416.667,1250 ) 
NCO _ FTW = round  212
 = 1365 MHz
1250


•
This, in turn, converts to 0x555 in the 12-bit, twos complement
representation for NCO_FTW. Calculate the actual carrier
frequency based on the following equation:
f C _ ACTUAL =
NCO _ FTW × f S
= 416.56 MHz
212
•
A 12-bit POW is available for each NCO to create a known
phase relationship between multiple AD9684 chips or
individual DDC channels inside one AD9684 chip.
The following procedure must be followed to update the FTW
and/or POW registers to ensure proper operation of the NCO:
1.
2.
3.
Write to the FTW registers for all the DDCs.
Write to the POW registers for all the DDCs.
Synchronize the NCOs either through the DDC soft reset bit,
accessible through the SPI, or through the assertion of the
SYNC± pins.
Note that the NCOs must be synchronized either through the
SPI or through the SYNC± pins after all writes to the FTW or
POW registers are complete. This synchronization is necessary
to ensure the proper operation of the NCO.
NCO Synchronization
Each NCO contains a separate phase accumulator word (PAW)
that determines the instantaneous phase of the NCO. The initial
reset value of each PAW is determined by the POW, described
in the Setting Up the NCO FTW and POW section. The phase
increment value of each PAW is determined by the FTW.
Using the SPI. Use the DDC NCO soft reset bit in the DDC
synchronization control register (Register 0x300, Bit 4) to
reset all the PAWs in the chip. This is accomplished by
toggling the DDC NCO soft reset bit. Note that this
method synchronizes DDC channels within the same
AD9684 chip only.
Using the SYNC± pins. When the SYNC± pins are enabled
in the SYNC± control registers (Register 0x120 and
Register 0x121), and the DDC synchronization is enabled
in Bits[1:0] in the DDC synchronization control register
(Register 0x300), any subsequent SYNC± event resets all
the PAWs in the chip. Note that this method synchronizes
DDC channels within the same AD9684 chip or DDC
channels within separate AD9684 chips.
Mixer
The NCO is accompanied by a mixer, which operates similarly
to an analog quadrature mixer. It performs the downconversion
of input signals (real or complex) by using the NCO frequency
as a local oscillator. For real input signals, this mixer performs a
real mixer operation with two multipliers. For complex input
signals, the mixer performs a complex mixer operation with
four multipliers and two adders. The mixer adjusts its operation
based on the input signal (real or complex) provided to each
individual channel. The selection of real or complex inputs can be
controlled individually for each DDC block using Bit 7 of the DDC
control registers (Register 0x310, Register 0x330, Register 0x350,
and Register 0x370).

FIR FILTERS
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Table 16 shows the different bandwidth options by including
different half-band filters. In all cases, the DDC filtering stage of
the AD9684 provides less than −0.001 dB of pass-band ripple
and greater than 100 dB of stop band alias rejection.
There are four sets of decimate by 2, low-pass, half-band, FIR
filters (labeled HB1 FIR, HB2 FIR, HB3 FIR, and HB4 FIR in
Figure 58) following the frequency translation stage. After the
carrier of interest is tuned down to dc (carrier frequency =
0 Hz), these filters efficiently lower the sample rate while
providing sufficient alias rejection from unwanted adjacent
carriers around the bandwidth of interest.
Table 17 shows the amount of stop band alias rejection for
multiple pass-band ripple/cutoff points. The decimation ratio of
the filtering stage of each DDC can be controlled individually
through Bits[1:0] of the DDC control registers (Register 0x310,
Register 0x330, Register 0x350, and Register 0x370).
HB1 FIR is always enabled and cannot be bypassed. The HB2,
HB3, and HB4 FIR filters are optional and can be bypassed for
higher output sample rates.

The first decimate by 2, half-band, low-pass FIR filter (HB4)
uses an 15-bit, symmetrical, fixed coefficient filter implementation
that is optimized for low power consumption. The HB4 filter is
used only when complex outputs (decimate by 16) or real outputs
(decimate by 8) are enabled; otherwise, the filter is bypassed.
Table 18 and Figure 62 show the coefficients and response of
the HB4 filter.

The fourth and final decimate by 2, half-band, low-pass FIR
filter (HB1) uses a 21-bit, symmetrical, fixed coefficient filter
implementation that is optimized for low power consumption.
The HB1 filter is always enabled and cannot be bypassed. Table 21
and Figure 65 show the coefficients and response of the HB1
filter.
Figure 65. HB1 Filter Response
DDC GAIN STAGE
Each DDC contains an independently controlled gain stage.
The gain is selectable as either 0 dB or 6 dB. When mixing a real
input signal down to baseband, it is recommended to enable the
6 dB gain to recenter the dynamic range of the signal within the
full scale of the output bits.
When mixing a complex input signal down to baseband, the
mixer has already recentered the dynamic range of the signal
within the full scale of the output bits and no additional gain is
necessary. However, the optional 6 dB gain compensates for low
signal strengths. The downsample by 2 portion of the HB1 FIR
filter is bypassed when using the complex to real conversion
stage (see Figure 66).
DDC COMPLEX TO REAL CONVERSION BLOCK
Each DDC contains an independently controlled complex to
real conversion block. The complex to real conversion block
reuses the last filter (HB1 FIR) in the filtering stage, along with
an fS/4 complex mixer to upconvert the signal.
After upconverting the signal, the Q portion of the complex
mixer is no longer needed and is dropped.
Figure 66 shows a simplified block diagram of the complex to
real conversion.

fS is the ADC sample rate. Bandwidths listed are <−0.001 dB of pass-band ripple and >100 dB of stop band alias rejection.
The NCOs must be synchronized either through the SPI or through the SYNC± pins after all writes to the FTW or POW registers are complete. This ensures the proper
operation of the NCO. See the NCO Synchronization section for more information.

AD9684
DIGITAL OUTPUTS
DIGITAL OUTPUTS
The AD9684 output drivers are for standard ANSI LVDS, but
optionally the drive current can be reduced using Register 0x56A.
The reduced drive current for the LVDS outputs potentially
reduces the digitally induced noise.
As detailed in the AN-877 Application Note, Interfacing to High
Speed ADCs via SPI, the data format can be selected for offset
binary, twos complement, or gray code when using the SPI
control.
The AD9684 has a flexible three-state ability for the digital
output pins. The three-state mode is enabled when the device is
set for power-down mode.
As shown in Table 24, the function of the output pins changes
based upon the selection of either parallel or byte output mode
in Register 0x568.
Timing
Minimize the length of the output data lines and the corresponding
loads to reduce transients within the AD9684. These transients
can degrade converter dynamic performance.
The lowest typical conversion rate of the AD9684 is 250 MSPS.
At clock rates below 250 MSPS, dynamic performance may
degrade.
Data Clock Output
The AD9684 also provides a data clock output (DCO) intended
for capturing the data in an external register. The DCO relative
to the data output can be adjusted using Register 0x569.
ADC OVERRANGE
The ADC overrange (OR) indicator is asserted when an overrange
is detected on the input of the ADC. The overrange condition is
determined at the output of the ADC pipeline and, therefore, is
subject to a latency of 28 ADC clocks. An overrange at the input is
indicated by the OR bit 28 clock cycles after it occurs.
The AD9684 provides latched data with a pipeline delay of
33 input sample clock cycles. Data outputs are available one
propagation delay (tPD) after the rising edge of the clock signal.

AD9684
Data Sheet
MULTICHIP SYNCHRONIZATION
The AD9684 supports several features that aid users in meeting
the requirements for capturing SYNC± signals. The SYNC±
sample event can be defined as either a synchronous low to high
transition or a synchronous high to low transition. Additionally,
the AD9684 allows the SYNC± signal to be sampled using
either the rising edge or the falling edge of the CLK± input. The
AD9684 can also to ignore a programmable number (up to 16)
of SYNC± events. The SYNC± control options can be selected
using Register 0x120 and Register 0x121.
The AD9684 has a SYNC± input that allows the user flexible
options for synchronizing the internal blocks. The SYNC±
input is a source synchronous system reference signal that
enables multichip synchronization. The input clock divider,
DDCs, and signal monitor block LVDS output link can be
synchronized using the SYNC± input. For the highest level of
timing accuracy, SYNC± must meet the setup and hold
requirements relative to the CLK± input.
The flowchart in Figure 67 shows the internal mechanism by
which multichip synchronization can be achieved in the AD9684.

AD9684
SYNC± SETUP AND HOLD WINDOW MONITOR
To assist in ensuring a valid SYNC± capture, the AD9684 has a
SYNC± setup and hold window monitor. This feature allows the
system designer to determine the location of the SYNC± signals
relative to the CLK± signals by reading back the amount of setup
and hold margin on the interface through the memory map.
Figure 68 and Figure 69 show the setup and hold status values for
different phases of SYNC±.
The setup detector returns the status of the SYNC± signal before
the CLK± edge and the hold detector returns the status of the
SYNC± signal after the CLK± edge. Register 0x128 stores the
status of SYNC± and alerts the user if the SYNC± signal is
captured by the ADC.

TEST MODES
ADC TEST MODES
The AD9684 has various test options that aid in the system level
implementation. The AD9684 has ADC test modes that are
available in Register 0x550. These test modes are described in
Table 26. When an output test mode is enabled, the analog
section of the ADC is disconnected from the digital back-end
blocks and the test pattern is run through the output formatting
block. Some of the test patterns are subject to output formatting,
and some are not. The pseudorandom number (PN) generators
from the PN sequence tests can be reset by setting Bit 4 or Bit 5
of Register 0x550. These tests can be performed with or without
an analog signal (if present, the analog signal is ignored);
however, they do require an encode clock. For more information,
see the AN-877 Application Note, Interfacing to High Speed ADCs
via SPI.

SERIAL PORT INTERFACE (SPI)
The AD9684 SPI allows the user to configure the converter for
specific functions or operations through a structured register
space provided inside the ADC. The SPI gives the user added
flexibility and customization, depending on the application.
Addresses are accessed via the serial port and can be written to
or read from via the serial port. Memory is organized into bytes
that can be further divided into fields. These fields are
documented in the Memory Map section. For detailed operational
information, see the Serial Control Interface Standard (Rev. 1.0).
CONFIGURATION USING THE SPI
Three pins define the SPI of this ADC: the SCLK pin, the SDIO
pin, and the CSB pin (see Table 27). The SCLK (serial clock) pin
synchronizes the read and write data presented from/to the
ADC. The SDIO (serial data input/output) pin is a dual-purpose
pin that allows data to be sent to and read from the internal ADC
memory map registers. The CSB (chip select bar) pin is an active
low control that enables or disables the read and write cycles.
Table 27. Serial Port Interface Pins
Pin
SCLK
SDIO
CSB
Function
Serial clock. The serial shift clock input, which synchronizes
the serial interface reads and writes.
Serial data input/output. A dual-purpose pin that
typically serves as an input or an output, depending on
the instruction being sent and the relative position in the
timing frame.
Chip select bar. An active low control that gates the read
and write cycles.
The falling edge of CSB, in conjunction with the rising edge of
SCLK, determines the start of the framing. See Figure 3 and
Table 5 for an example of the serial timing and its definitions.
Other modes involving the CSB pin are available. The CSB pin
can be held low indefinitely, which permanently enables the
device; this is called streaming. The CSB pin can stall high
between bytes to allow additional external timing. When CSB is
tied high, SPI functions are placed in a high impedance mode.
This mode turns on any secondary functions of the SPI pins.
All data is composed of 8-bit words. The first bit of each
individual byte of serial data indicates whether a read or write
command is issued. This bit allows the SDIO pin to change
direction from an input to an output.
In addition to word length, the instruction phase determines
whether the serial frame is a read or write operation, allowing
the serial port to program the chip and to read the contents of
the on-chip memory. If the instruction is a readback operation,
performing a readback causes the SDIO pin to change direction
from an input to an output at the appropriate point in the serial
frame.
Data can be sent in MSB first mode or in LSB first mode. MSB
first is the default configuration on power-up and can be
changed via the SPI port configuration register. For more
information about this and other features, see the Serial Control
Interface Standard (Rev. 1.0).
HARDWARE INTERFACE
The pins described in Table 27 compose the physical interface
between the user programming device and the serial port of the
AD9684. The SCLK pin and the CSB pin function as inputs
when using the SPI. The SDIO pin is bidirectional, functioning
as an input during write phases and as an output during
readback.
The SPI is flexible enough to be controlled by either field
programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) or microcontrollers. One
method for SPI configuration is described in detail in the AN-812
Application Note, Microcontroller-Based Serial Port Interface
(SPI) Boot Circuit.
Do not activate the SPI port during periods when the full
dynamic performance of the converter is required. Because the
SCLK signal, the CSB signal, and the SDIO signal are typically
asynchronous to the ADC clock, noise from these signals can
degrade converter performance. If the on-board SPI bus is used
for other devices, it may be necessary to provide buffers between
this bus and the AD9684 to prevent these signals from
transitioning at the converter inputs during critical sampling
periods.
SPI ACCESSIBLE FEATURES
Table 28 provides a brief description of the general features that
are accessible via the SPI. These features are described in detail
in the Serial Control Interface Standard (Rev. 1.0). The AD9684
device specific features are described in the Memory Map
section.

MEMORY MAP
READING THE MEMORY MAP REGISTER TABLE
Logic Levels
Each row in the memory map register table has eight bit
locations. The memory map is divided into four sections: the
Analog Devices, Inc., SPI registers (Register 0x000 to
Register 0x00D), the ADC function registers (Register 0x015 to
Register 0x278), The DDC function registers (Register 0x300 to
Register 0x387), and the digital outputs and test modes registers
(Register 0x550 to Register 0x05B).
An explanation of logic level terminology follows:
Table 29 documents the default hexadecimal value for each
hexadecimal address shown. The column with the heading Bit 7
(MSB) is the start of the default hexadecimal value given. For
example, Address 0x561, the output mode register, has a
hexadecimal default value of 0x01. This means that Bit 0 = 1,
and the remaining bits are 0s. This setting is the default output
format value, which is twos complement. For more information
on this function and others, see the Table 29.
Unassigned and Reserved Locations
All address and bit locations that are not included in Table 29
are not currently supported for this device. Write unused bits of
a valid address location with 0s unless the default value is set
otherwise. Writing to these locations is required only when part
of an address location is unassigned (for example, Address 0x561).
If the entire address location is open (for example, Address 0x013),
do not write to this address location.
Default Values
After the AD9684 is reset, critical registers are loaded with
default values. The default values for the registers are given in
Table 29.
•
•
•
“Bit is set” is synonymous with “bit is set to Logic 1” or
“writing Logic 1 for the bit.”
“Clear a bit” is synonymous with “bit is set to Logic 0” or
“writing Logic 0 for the bit.”
“X” denotes a “don’t care” bit.
Channel-Specific Registers
Some channel setup functions, such as the input termination
(Register 0x016), can be programmed to a different value for
each channel. In these cases, channel address locations are
internally duplicated for each channel. These registers and bits
are designated in Table 29 as local. These local registers and bits
can be accessed by setting the appropriate Channel A or
Channel B bits in Register 0x008. If both bits are set, the
subsequent write affects the registers of both channels. In a read
cycle, set only Channel A or Channel B to read one of the two
registers. If both bits are set during an SPI read cycle, the device
returns the value for Channel A. Registers and bits designated
as global in Table 29 affect the entire device and the channel
features for which independent settings are not allowed
between channels. The settings in Register 0x005 do not affect
the global registers and bits.
SPI Soft Reset
After issuing a soft reset by programming 0x81 to Register 0x000,
the AD9684 requires 5 ms to recover. Therefore, when programming the AD9684 for application setup, ensure that an adequate
delay is programmed into the firmware after asserting the soft
reset and before starting the device setup.

AD9684
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
POWER SUPPLY RECOMMENDATIONS
The AD9684 must be powered by the following six supplies:
AVDD1 = 1.25 V, AVDD2 = 2.5 V, AVDD3 = 3.3 V, DVDD =
1.25 V, DRVDD = 1.25 V, and SPIVDD = 1.8 V. For applications
requiring an optimal high power efficiency and low noise
performance, it is recommended that the ADP2164 and ADP2370
switching regulators be used to convert the 3.3 V, 5.0 V, or 12 V
input rails to an intermediate rail (1.8 V and 3.8 V). These
intermediate rails are then postregulated by very low noise, low
dropout (LDO) regulators (ADP1741, ADP1740, and ADP125).
Figure 70 shows the recommended power supply scheme for
the AD9684.

INPUT
It is not necessary to split all of these power domains in all
cases. The recommended solution shown in Figure 70 provides
the lowest noise, highest efficiency power delivery system for
the AD9684. If only one 1.25 V supply is available, route to
AVDD1 first and then tap it off and isolate it with a ferrite bead
or a filter choke, preceded by decoupling capacitors for
SPIVDD, DVDD, and DRVDD, in that order. The user can
employ several different decoupling capacitors to cover both
high and low frequencies. These capacitors must be located
close to the point of entry at the PCB level and close to the
devices, with minimal trace lengths.
