GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9691 is a dual, 14-bit, 1.25 GSPS analog-to-digital converter
(ADC). The device has an on-chip buffer and sample-and-hold
circuit designed for low power, small size, and ease of use. The
device is designed for sampling wide bandwidth analog signals
of up to 1.5 GHz.
The dual ADC cores feature a multistage, differential pipelined
architecture with integrated output error correction logic. Each
ADC features wide bandwidth inputs supporting a variety of
user-selectable input ranges. An integrated voltage reference
eases design considerations.
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 four half-band decimation filters.
In addition to the DDC blocks, the AD9691 has a programmable
threshold detector that allows monitoring of the incoming
signal power using the fast detect output bits of the ADC. Because
Rev. 0
this threshold indicator has low latency, the user can quickly
turn down the system gain to avoid an overrange condition at
the ADC input.
Users can configure the Subclass 1 JESD204B-based high speed
serialized output in a variety of one-, two-, four- or eight-lane
configurations, depending on the DDC configuration and the
acceptable lane rate of the receiving logic device. Multiple device
synchronization is supported through the SYSREF± input pins.
The AD9691 is available in a Pb-free, 88-lead LFCSP and is
specified over the −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
This product is protected by a U.S. patent.

Typical θJA, ΨJB, θJC_TOP, and θJC_BOT values 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 ΨJB. 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.

Data Sheet
THEORY OF OPERATION
The dual ADC cores feature multistage, differential pipelined
architecture with integrated output error correction logic. Each
ADC features wide bandwidth inputs supporting a variety of
user-selectable input ranges. An integrated voltage reference
eases design considerations.
The AD9691 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 turn down the system gain to avoid an
overrange condition at the ADC input.
The Subclass 1 JESD204B-based, high speed serialized output data
rate can be configured in one-lane (L = 1), two-lane (L = 2), fourlane (L = 4), and eight-lane (L = 8) configurations, depending on
the sample rate and the decimation ratio (DCM). Multiple device
synchronization is supported through the SYSREF± and
SYNCINB± input pins.
ADC ARCHITECTURE
The architecture of the AD9691 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
or amplifier. The default termination value is set to 400 Ω. The
equivalent circuit diagram of the analog input termination is
shown in Figure 30. 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 the 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;
at the same time, the remaining stages operate with the preceding
samples. Sampling occurs on the rising edge of the clock.
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,
place low Q inductors or ferrite beads on each section 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 frequencies. Place either a
differential capacitor or two single-ended capacitors on the
inputs to provide a matching passive network. This
configuration 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 FrontEnd for Wideband A/D Converters” (Volume 39, April 2005). In
general, the precise values depend on the application.
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.
The maximum SNR performance is achieved by setting the
ADC to the largest span in a differential configuration. In the
case of the AD9691, the available span is 1.58 V p-p differential.
Differential Input Configurations
There are several ways to drive the AD9691, either actively or
passively. However, optimum performance is achieved by
driving the analog input differentially.
For applications where SNR and SFDR are key parameters,
differential transformer coupling is the recommended input
configuration (see Figure 41 and Table 9) because the noise
performance of most amplifiers is not adequate to achieve the
true performance of the AD9691.
For low to midrange frequencies, a double balun or double
transformer network (see Figure 41) is recommended for
optimum performance of the AD9691. 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 Table 9).

ANALOG INPUT CONSIDERATIONS
BALUN
The analog input to the AD9691 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

The AD9691 has two analog input channels and four JESD204B
output lane pairs. The ADC is designed to sample wide bandwidth
analog signals of up to 1.5 GHz. The AD9691 is optimized for
wide input bandwidth, a high sampling rate, excellent linearity,
and low power in a small package.

Input Common Mode
The analog inputs of the AD9691 are internally biased to the
common mode as shown in Figure 42. 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.

Figure 44, Figure 45, and Figure 46 show how the SFDR can be
optimized using the buffer current setting in Register 0x018 for
different Nyquist zones. At frequencies greater than 1 GHz, it is
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.

CLOCK INPUT CONSIDERATIONS
Input Clock Divider ½ Period Delay Adjust
For optimum performance, drive the AD9691 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 input clock divider inside the AD9691 provides phase delay
in increments of ½ the input clock cycle. Register 0x10C can be
programmed to enable this delay independently for each channel.
Changing this register does not affect the stability of the
JESD204B link.
Figure 50 shows a preferred method for clocking the AD9691. The
low jitter clock source is converted from a single-ended signal to
a differential signal using an RF transformer.

Another option is to ac couple a differential CML or LVDS
signal to the sample clock input pins, as shown in Figure 51 and
Figure 52.
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.

The AD9691 contains an input clock divider with the ability to

can be selected using Register 0x10B. This is shown in Figure 53.
Figure 52. 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 AD9691 can be clocked at 1.5 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.
The AD9691 sampling edge instant can be adjusted by writing to
Register 0x117 and Register 0x118. Setting Bit 0 of Register 0x117
enables the 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 adjust in Register 0x117 causes a datapath reset.
However, the contents of Register 0x118 can be changed
without affecting the stability of the JESD204B link.
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
Rev. 0 | Page 21 of 72
SNR = 20log10(2 × π × fA × tJ)
AD9691

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 54).

The AD9691 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; therefore, 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 35 for more information.

DIODE VOLTAGE (V)
Treat the clock input as an analog signal in cases where aperture
jitter may affect the dynamic range of the AD9691. Separate
power supplies for 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.

The power-down option can also be set via Register 0x03F and
Register 0x040.

AD9691
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 clip. The
standard overrange bit in the JESD204B outputs provides
information on the state of the analog input that is of limited
usefulness. Therefore, it is 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 AD9691 contains fast detect circuitry for individual
channels to monitor the threshold and assert the FD_A and
FD_B pins.
The FD indicator is asserted if the input magnitude exceeds the
value programmed in the fast detect upper threshold registers,
located at 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 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, located at 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 ADC overrange indicator is asserted when an overrange is
detected on the input of the ADC. The overrange indicator can
be embedded within the JESD204B link as a control bit (when
CSB > 0). The latency of this overrange indicator matches the
sample latency.
The AD9691 also records any overrange condition in any of the
four virtual converters. For more information on the virtual
converters, see Figure 61. 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
the set and reset positions.
Lower Threshold Magnitude (dBFS) = 20log(Threshold
Magnitude/213)
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.
FAST THRESHOLD DETECTION (FD_A AND FD_B)
The fast detect (FD) bit (enabled via the control bits in
Register 0x559 and Register 0x55A) 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.
To program the dwell time from 1 to 65,535 sample clock
cycles, place the desired value in the fast detect dwell time
registers, located at Register 0x24B and Register 0x24C. See the
Memory Map section (Register 0x040, and Register 0x245 to
Register 0x24C in Table 35) 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 either
by reading back the internal values from the SPI port or by
embedding the signal monitoring information into the
JESD204B interface as special control bits. A global, 24-bit
programmable period controls the duration of the
measurement. Figure 57 shows the simplified block diagram of
the signal monitor block.

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 or output
through the SPORT over the JESD204B interface. 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, and
the comparison and update procedure continues.

After enabling this mode, the value in the SMPR is loaded into a
monitor period timer, which decrements at the decimated clock
rate. The magnitude of the input signal is compared to 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.
Figure 57. 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. The peak magnitude can be derived
by 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
monitor period register (SMPR). The peak detector function is
enabled by setting Bit 1 of Register 0x270 in the signal monitor
control register. The 24-bit SMPR must be programmed before
activating this mode.
The signal monitor data can also be serialized and sent over the
JESD204B interface as control bits. These control bits must be
deserialized from the samples to reconstruct the statistical data.
This function is enabled by setting Bits[1:0] of Register 0x279
and Bit 1 of Register 0x27A. Figure 58 shows two different example
configurations for the signal monitor control bit locations inside
the JESD204B samples. A maximum of three control bits can be
inserted into the JESD204B samples; however, only one control
bit is required for the signal monitor. Control bits are inserted
from MSB to LSB. If only one control bit is to be inserted (CS =
1), only the most significant control bit is used (see Example
Configuration 1 and Example Configuration 2 in Figure 58). To
select the SPORT over JESD204B option, program Register 0x559,
Register 0x55A, and Register 0x58F. See Table 35 for more
information on setting these bits.
Figure 59 shows the 25-bit frame data that encapsulates the
peak detector value. The frame data is transmitted MSB first
with five 5-bit subframes. Each subframe contains a start bit
that can be used by a receiver to validate the deserialized data.
Figure 60 shows the SPORT over JESD204B signal monitor data
with a monitor period timer set to 80 samples.

AD9691
DIGITAL DOWNCONVERTERS (DDCS)
The AD9691 includes four digital downconverters (DDC 0 to
DDC 3) that provide filtering and reduce the output data rate.
This digital processing section includes a numerically controlled
oscillator (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 have control lines that
allow it to be independently enabled and disabled to provide the
desired processing function. The digital downconverters can be
configured to output either real data or complex output data.
DDC I/Q INPUT SELECTION
The AD9691 has two ADC channels and four DDC channels.
Each DDC channel has two input ports that can be paired to
support both real or complex inputs through the I/Q crossbar
mux. For real signals, both DDC input ports must select the
same ADC channel (for example, DDC Input Port I = ADC
Channel A, and Input Port Q = ADC Channel A). For complex
signals, each DDC input port must select different ADC
channels (for example, DDC Input Port I = ADC Channel A,
and 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 35 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 (Bit 3) in the DDC control
registers (Register 0x310, Register 0x330, Register 0x350, and
Register 0x370).
The Chip Q ignore bit (Bit 5) in the chip application mode
register (Register 0x200) controls the chip output muxing of all
the DDC channels. When all DDC channels use real outputs,
this bit must be set 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. For more information, refer to
Memory Map Register Table section.
DDC GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The four DDC blocks extract a portion of the full digital
spectrum captured by the ADC(s). 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)
The frequency translation 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, the filtering stage decimates
the frequency spectrum using a chain of up to four half-band
low-pass 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, the gain stange compensates by adding an additional
0 dB or 6 dB of gain.
Complex to Real Conversion Stage (Optional)
When real outputs are necessary, the complex to real conversion
stage converts the complex outputs back to real by performing
an fS/4 mixing operation plus a filter to remove the complex
component of the signal.
Figure 61 shows the detailed block diagram of the DDCs
implemented in the AD9691.

Figure 62 shows an example usage of one of the four DDC

and real (decimate by 8) output options.
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.
When DDCs have different decimation ratios, the chip
decimation ratio (Register 0x201) must be set to the lowest
decimation ratio of all the DDC blocks. In this scenario,
samples of higher decimation ratio DDCs are repeated to match
Table 11, Table 12, Table 13, Table 14, and Table 15 show the
DDC samples when the chip decimation ratio is set to 1, 2, 4, 8,
or 16, respectively.

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 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 to positive full scale. The
NCO is enabled. This test mode allows the NCOs to drive the
decimation filters directly.
Figure 63 and Figure 64 show examples of the frequency
translation stage for both real and complex inputs.

Figure 64. 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 additional 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 (+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
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 AD9691 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  2 12
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 AD9691 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).

AD9691
For example, if the ADC sampling frequency (fS) is 1250 MSPS
and the carrier frequency (fC) is 416.667 MHz,
 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 using the following equation:
f C _ ACTUAL
NCO _ FTW × f S
=
= 416.56 MHz
212
Use the following two methods to synchronize multiple PAWs
within the chip:
•
•
A 12-bit POW is available for each NCO to create a known
phase relationship between multiple AD9691 chips or
individual DDC channels inside one AD9691.
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 SYSREF± pin.
Note that the NCOs must be synchronized either through the
SPI or through the SYSREF± pin 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. This method synchronizes
DDC channels within the same AD9691 chip only.
Using the SYSREF± pin. When the SYSREF± pin is enabled
in the SYSREF± 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 SYSREF± event resets all
the PAWs in the chip. This method synchronizes DDC
channels within the same AD9691 chip, or DDC channels
within separate AD9691 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 by using Bit 7 of
the DDC control registers (Register 0x310, Register 0x330,
Register 0x350, and Register 0x370).

FIR FILTERS
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
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 61) 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.
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.
Table 17 shows the different bandwidth options by including
different half-band filters. In all cases, the DDC filtering stage of
the AD9691 provides less than −0.001 dB of pass-band ripple
and greater than 100 dB of stop-band alias rejection.
Table 18 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).

DDC GAIN STAGE
DDC COMPLEX TO REAL CONVERSION BLOCK
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 of gain to recenter the dynamic range of the signal within
the full scale of the output bits.
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.
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 69).

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 SYSREF± pin after all writes to the FTW or POW registers have completed. This is necessary to
ensure the proper operation of the NCO. See the NCO Synchronization section for more information.

DIGITAL OUTPUTS
INTRODUCTION TO THE JESD204B INTERFACE
•
The AD9691 digital outputs are designed to the JEDEC Standard
JESD204B serial interface for data converters. JESD204B is a
protocol to link the AD9691 to a digital processing device over
a serial interface with lane rates of up to 10 Gbps. The benefits
of the JESD204B interface over the LVDS interface include a
reduction in required board area for data interface routing, and an
ability to enable smaller packages for converter and logic devices.
JESD204B OVERVIEW
The JESD204B data transmit block assembles the parallel data
from the ADC into frames and uses 8B/10B encoding as well as
optional scrambling to form serial output data. Lane synchronization is supported through the use of special control characters
during the initial establishment of the link. Additional control
characters are embedded in the data stream to maintain
synchronization thereafter. A JESD204B receiver is required to
complete the serial link. For additional details on the JESD204B
interface, refer to the JESD204B standard.
The AD9691 JESD204B data transmit block maps up to two
physical ADCs or up to eight virtual converters (when DDCs
are enabled) over a link. A link can be configured to use one,
two, or four JESD204B lanes. The JESD204B specification refers
to a number of parameters to define the link, and these parameters
must match between the JESD204B transmitter (the AD9691
output) and the JESD204B receiver (the logic device input).
The JESD204B link is described according to the following
parameters:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
L is the number of lanes per converter device (lanes per
link) (AD9691 value = 1, 2, or 4)
M is the number of converters per converter device (virtual
converters per link) (AD9691 value = 1, 2, 4, or 8)
F is the octets per frame (AD9691 value = 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16)
N΄ is the number of bits per sample (JESD204B word size)
(AD9691 value = 8 or 16)
N is the converter resolution (AD9691 value = 7 to 16)
CS is the number of control bits per sample (AD9691
value = 0 to 3)
K is the number of frames per multiframe (AD9691
value = 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, or 32)
•
•
S is the samples transmitted per single converter per frame
cycle (AD9691 value = set automatically based on L, M, F,
and N΄)
HD is the high density mode (AD9691 value = set
automatically based on L, M, F, and N΄)
CF is the number of control words per frame clock cycle per
converter device (AD9691 value = 0)
Figure 70 shows a simplified block diagram of the AD9691
JESD204B link. By default, the AD9691 is configured to use
two converters and four lanes. Converter A data is output to
SERDOUT0±, SERDOUT1±, SERDOUT2±, and SERDOUT3±,
and Converter B data is output to SERDOUT4±, SERDOUT5±,
SERDOUT6±, and SERDOUT7±. The AD9691 allows other
configurations such as combining the outputs of both converters
onto a single lane, or changing the mapping of the Converter A
and Converter B digital output paths. These modes are set up
via a quick configuration register in the SPI register map, along
with additional customizable options.
By default in the AD9691, the 14-bit converter word from each
converter is broken into two octets (eight bits of data). Bit 13
(MSB) through Bit 6 are in the first octet. The second octet
contains Bit 5 through Bit 0 (LSB) and two tail bits. The tail bits
can be configured as zeros or a pseudorandom number (PN)
sequence. The tail bits can also be replaced with control bits
indicating overrange, SYSREF±, signal monitor, or fast detect
output.
The two resulting octets can be scrambled. Scrambling is
optional; however, it is recommended to avoid spectral peaks
when transmitting similar digital data patterns. The scrambler
uses a self synchronizing, polynomial-based algorithm defined
by the equation 1 + x14 + x15. The descrambler in the receiver is
a self synchronizing version of the scrambler polynomial.
The two octets are then encoded with an 8B/10B encoder. The
8B/10B encoder takes eight bits of data (an octet) and encodes
them into a 10-bit symbol. Figure 71 shows how the 14-bit data
is taken from the ADC, the tail bits are added, the two octets are
scrambled, and how the octets are encoded into two 10-bit
symbols. Figure 71 illustrates the default data framing.

FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
The block diagram in Figure 72 shows the flow of data through
the JESD204B hardware from the sample input to the physical
output. The processing can be divided into layers that are derived
from the open-source initiative (OSI) model widely used to
describe the abstraction layers of communications systems.
These layers are the transport layer, the data link layer, and the
physical layer, which includes the serializer and output driver).
Transport Layer
The transport layer handles packing the data (consisting of
samples and optional control bits) into JESD204B frames that
are mapped to 8-bit octets. These octets are sent to the data link
layer. The transport layer mapping is controlled by rules derived
from the link parameters. Tail bits are added to fill gaps where
required. The following equation can be used to determine the
number of tail bits within a sample (JESD204B word):
Data Link Layer
The data link layer manages the low level functions of passing
data across the link. These functions include optionally
scrambling the data, inserting control characters for multichip
synchronization/lane alignment/monitoring, encoding 8-bit
octets into 10-bit symbols, and remapping data using the
crossbar mux. The data link layer is also responsible for sending
the initial lane alignment sequence (ILAS), which contains the
link configuration data used by the receiver to verify the
settings in the transport layer.
Physical Layer
The physical layer consists of the high speed circuitry clocked at
the serial clock rate. In this layer, parallel data is converted into
one, two, or four lanes of high speed differential serial data.

AD9691
JESD204B LINK ESTABLISHMENT
Initial Lane Alignment Sequence (ILAS)
The AD9691 JESD204B transmitter (Tx) interface operates in
Subclass 1 as defined in the JEDEC Standard JESD204B (July
2011 specification). The link establishment process is divided
into the following steps: code group synchronization and
SYNCINB±, initial lane alignment sequence, and user data and
error correction.
The ILAS phase follows the CGS phase and begins on the next
LMFC boundary. The ILAS consists of four multiframes, with
an /R/ character marking the beginning and an /A/ character
marking the end. The ILAS begins by sending an /R/ character
followed by 0 to 255 ramp data for one multiframe. On the second
multiframe, the link configuration data is sent, starting with the
third character. The second character is a /Q/ character to confirm
that the link configuration data follows. All undefined data slots
are filled with ramp data. The ILAS sequence is never scrambled.
Code Group Synchronization (CGS) and SYNCINB±
The CGS is the process by which the JESD204B receiver finds
the boundaries between the 10-bit symbols in the stream of
data. During the CGS phase, the JESD204B transmit block
transmits the /K28.5/ characters. The receiver must locate the
/K28.5/ characters in its input data stream using clock and data
recovery (CDR) techniques.
The receiver issues a synchronization request by asserting the
SYNCINB± pin of the AD9691 low. The JESD204B Tx then
begins sending /K/ characters. After the receiver is synchronized,
it waits for the correct reception of at least four consecutive /K/
symbols. It then deasserts SYNCINB±. The AD9691 then
transmits an ILAS on the following local multiframe clock
(LMFC) boundary.
For more information on the code group synchronization
phase, refer to the JEDEC Standard JESD204B, July 2011,
Section 5.3.3.1.
The ILAS sequence construction is shown in Figure 73. The
four multiframes include the following:
•
•
•
•
Multiframe 1, which begins with an /R/ character (/K28.0/)
and ends with an /A/ character (/K28.3/).
Multiframe 2, which begins with an /R/ character followed
by a /Q/ (/K28.4/) character, followed by link configuration
parameters over 14 configuration octets (see Table 24) and
ends with an /A/ character. Many of the parameter values
are of the value – 1 notation.
Multiframe 3, which begins with an /R/ character (/K28.0/)
and ends with an /A/ character (/K28.3/).
Multiframe 4, which begins with an /R/ character (/K28.0/)
and ends with an /A/ character (/K28.3/).
The SYNCINB± pin operation can also be controlled by the
SPI. The SYNCINB± signal is a differential LVDS mode signal
by default, but it can also be driven single-ended. For more
information on configuring the SYNCINB± pin operation,see
Register 0x572 in Table 35.

Data Sheet
User Data and Error Detection
After the initial lane alignment sequence is complete, the user data
is sent. Normally, all characters within a frame are considered
user data. However, to monitor the frame clock and multiframe
clock synchronization, there is a mechanism for replacing
characters with /F/ or /A/ alignment characters when the data
meets certain conditions. These conditions are different for
unscrambled and scrambled data. The scrambling operation
is enabled by default, but it can be disabled using the SPI.
For scrambled data, any 0xFC character at the end of a frame is
replaced by an /F/ character, and any 0x7C character at the end
of a multiframe is replaced with an /A/ character. The JESD204B
receiver (Rx) checks for /F/ and /A/ characters in the received
data stream and verifies that they only occur in the expected
locations. If an unexpected /F/ or /A/ character is found, the
receiver handles the situation by using dynamic realignment or
asserting the SYNCINB± signal for more than four frames to
initiate a resynchronization. For unscrambled data, when the
final character of two subsequent frames is equal, the second
character is replaced with an /F/ character if it is at the end of a
frame, and an /A/ character if it is at the end of a multiframe.
Insertion of alignment characters can be modified using the
SPI. The frame alignment character insertion (FACI) is enabled
by default. For more information on the link controls, see the
Memory Map section, Register 0x571.
8B/10B Encoder
The 8B/10B encoder converts 8-bit octets into 10-bit symbols
and inserts control characters into the stream when needed.
The control characters used in JESD204B are shown in Table 24.
The 8B/10B encoding ensures that the signal is dc balanced by
using the same number of ones and zeros across multiple symbols.
The 8B/10B interface has options that can be controlled via the
SPI. These operations include bypass and invert. These options
are intended to be troubleshooting tools for the verification of
the digital front end (DFE). See the Memory Map section,
Register 0x572, Bits[2:1] for information on configuring the
8B/10B encoder.

Place a 100 Ω differential termination resistor at each receiver,
which results in a nominal 300 mV p-p swing at the receiver
(see Figure 74). It is recommended to use ac coupling to
connect the AD9691 serializer/deserializer (SERDES) outputs
to the receiver.

If there is no far end receiver termination, or if there is poor
differential trace routing, timing errors may result. To avoid
such timing errors, it is recommended that the trace length be
less than six inches, and that the differential output traces be
close together and at equal lengths.
Figure 75 to Figure 77 show examples of the digital output data
eye, time interval error (TIE) jitter histogram, and bathtub
curve, respectively, for one AD9691 lane running at 6 Gbps.
The format of the output data is twos complement by default. To
change the output data format, see the Memory Map section

De-Emphasis
–300
De-emphasis enables the receiver eye diagram mask to be met
in conditions where the interconnect insertion loss does not
meet the JESD204B specification. Use the de-emphasis feature
only when the receiver cannot recover the clock due to
excessive insertion loss. Under normal conditions, it is disabled
to conserve power. Additionally, enabling and setting too high a
de-emphasis value on a short link may cause the receiver eye
diagram to fail. Use the de-emphasis setting with caution
because it may increase electromagnetic interference (EMI). See
the Memory Map section (Register 0x5C1 to Register 0x5C5 in
Table 35) for more details.

CONFIGURING THE JESD204B LINK
Use the following steps to configure the output:
The AD9691 has one JESD204B link. The device offers an easy
way to set up the JESD204B link through the quick configuration
register (Register 0x570). The serial outputs (SERDOUT0± to
SERDOUT3±) are considered to be part of one JESD204B link.
The basic parameters that determine the link setup are

Select the quick configuration options.
Configure the detailed options.
Set the output lane mapping (optional).
Set additional driver configuration options (optional).
Power up the link.
If the lane rate calculated is less than 6.25 Gbps, select the low
lane rate option. This is done by programming a value of 0x10
to Register 0x56E.
The maximum lane rate allowed by the JESD204B specification
is 12.5 Gbps. The lane rate is related to the JESD204B
parameters using the following equation:
Table 25 and Table 26 show the JESD204B output configurations
supported for both N΄ = 16 and N΄ = 8 for a given number of
virtual converters. Take care to ensure that the serial lane rate
for a given configuration is within the supported range of
3.125 Gbps to 12.5 Gbps.

MULTICHIP SYNCHRONIZATION
AD9691. The AD9691 supports several features that aid users in
meeting the requirements for capturing a SYSREF± signal. The
SYSREF± sample event can be defined as either a synchronous
low to high transition, or synchronous high to low transition.
Additionally, the AD9691 allows the SYSREF± signal to be
sampled using either the rising edge or falling edge of the CLK±
input. The AD9691 also can ignore a programmable number (up
to 16) of SYSREF± events. The SYSREF± control options can be
selected using Register 0x120 and Register 0x121.
The AD9691 has a SYSREF± input that allows flexible options
for synchronizing the internal blocks. The SYSREF± input is a
source synchronous system reference signal that enables multichip
synchronization. The input clock divider, DDCs, signal monitor
block, and JESD204B link can be synchronized using the SYSREF±
input. For the highest level of timing accuracy, SYSREF± must
meet setup and hold requirements relative to the CLK± input.
The flowchart in Figure 80 describes the internal mechanism by
which multichip synchronization can be achieved in the

SYSREF± SETUP/HOLD WINDOW MONITOR
To assist in ensuring a valid SYSREF± signal capture, the
AD9691 has a SYSREF± setup/hold window monitor. This
feature allows the system designer to determine the location of
the SYSREF± signals relative to the CLK± signals by reading
back the amount of setup/hold margin on the interface through
the memory map. Figure 81 and Figure 82 show the setup and
REG 0x128[3:0]
hold status values for different phases of SYSREF±. The setup
detector returns the status of the SYSREF±signal before the
CLK± edge and the hold detector returns the status of the
SYSREF± signal after the CLK± edge. Register 0x128 stores the
status of SYSREF± and alerts the user if the SYSREF± signal is
captured by the ADC.

Table 28. 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 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), but they do require an
encode clock.
If the application mode has been set to select a DDC mode of
operation, the test modes must be enabled for each DDC enabled.
The test modes can be enabled via Bit 2 and Bit 0 of Register 0x327,
Register 0x347, and Register 0x367, depending on which DDCs are
selected. The I data uses the test patterns selected for Channel A,
and the Q data uses the test patterns selected for Channel B. For
DDC 3, only the I data uses the test patterns from Channel A. The
Q data does not output test patterns. Bit 0 of Register 0x387 selects
the Channel A test patterns for the I data. For more information,
see the AN-877 Application Note, Interfacing to High Speed ADCs
via SPI.
JESD204B BLOCK TEST MODES
In addition to the ADC test modes, the AD9691 also has flexible
test modes in the JESD204B block. These test modes are listed
in Register 0x573 and Register 0x574. These test patterns can be
inserted at various points along the output data path. These test
insertion points are shown in Figure 71. Table 29 describes the
various test modes available in the JESD204B block. For the
AD9691, a transition from the test modes (Register 0x573 ≠
0x00) to normal mode (Register 0x573 = 0x00) require a SPI
soft reset. This is done by writing 0x81 to Register 0x00 (self
cleared).
Transport Layer Sample Test Mode
The transport layer samples are implemented in the AD9691 as
defined by Section 5.1.6.3 in the JEDEC JESD204B specification.
These tests are enabled via Register 0x571, Bit 5. The test
pattern is equivalent to the raw samples from the ADC.
Interface Test Modes
The interface test modes are described in Register 0x573, Bits[3:0].
These test modes are also explained in Table 29. The interface
tests can be inserted at various points along the data. See Figure 71
for more information on the test insertion points. Register 0x573,
Bits[5:4], selects where these tests are inserted.
Table 30, Table 31, and Table 32 show examples of some of the
test modes when inserted at the JESD204B sample input,
physical layer (PHY) 10-bit input, and scrambler 8-bit input.
UP in Table 30 to Table 32 represents the user pattern control
bits from the memory map register table (see Table 35).
Data Link Layer Test Modes
The data link layer test modes are implemented in the AD9691
as defined by Section 5.3.3.8.2 in the JEDEC JESD204B specification. These tests are shown in Register 0x574, Bits[2:0]. Test
patterns inserted at this point are useful for verifying the
functionality of the data link layer. When the data link layer
test modes are enabled, disable SYNCINB± by writing 0xC0 to
Register 0x572.

AD9691
SERIAL PORT INTERFACE
The AD9691 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 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 33). 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 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 33. Serial Port Interface Pins
Pin
SCLK
SDIO
CSB
Function
Serial clock. The serial shift clock input that synchronizes
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. An example of the serial
timing and its definitions can be found in Figure 3 and Table 5.
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 SPI pin secondary functions.
In addition to word length, the instruction phase determines
whether the serial frame is a read or write operation, allowing
the serial port to be used both 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 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 33 compose the physical interface
between the user programming device and the serial port of the
AD9691. 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 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 AD9691 to prevent these signals from transitioning
at the converter inputs during critical sampling periods.
SPI ACCESSIBLE FEATURES
Table 34 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 AD9691
device specific features are described in the Memory Map section.
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 allows the SDIO pin to change
direction from an input to an output.

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 SPI registers (Register 0x000 to Register 0x00D),
the ADC function registers (Register 0x015 to Register 0x27A),
The DDC function registers (Register 0x300 to Register 0x387),
and the digital outputs and test modes registers (Register 0x550
to Register 0x5C5).
An explanation of logic level terminology follows:
Table 35 (see the Memory Map section) 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 Table 35.
Unassigned and Reserved Locations
All address and bit locations that are not included in Table 35
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 unassigned (for example,
Address 0x013), do not write to this address location.
Default Values
After the AD9691 is reset, critical registers are loaded with default
values. The default values for the registers are given in Table 35.
•
•
•
“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 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 35 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 35
affect the entire device and the channel features for which
independent settings are not allowed between channels. The
settings in Register 0x004 and 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 AD9691 requires 5 ms to recover. When programming the
AD9691 for application setup, ensure that an adequate delay is
programmed into the firmware after asserting the soft reset and
before starting the device setup.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
POWER SUPPLY RECOMMENDATIONS
The AD9691 must be powered by the following seven supplies:
AVDD1 = 1.25 V, AVDD2 = 2.50 V, AVDD3 = 3.3 V, AVDD1_SR =
1.25 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 83 shows the recommended power supply
scheme for AD9691.

To maximize the coverage and adhesion between the ADC and
PCB, partition the continuous copper plane by overlaying a
silkscreen on the PCB into several uniform sections. This
provides several tie points between the ADC and PCB during
the reflow process, whereas using one continuous plane with no
partitions only guarantees one tie point. See Figure 84 for a
recommended PCB layout example. For detailed information
on packaging and the PCB layout of chip scale packages, see the
AN-772 Application Note, A Design and Manufacturing Guide
for the Lead Frame Chip Scale Package (LFCSP).

3.3V
INPUT
The copper plane must have several vias to achieve the lowest
possible resistive thermal path for heat dissipation to flow
through the bottom of the PCB. These vias must be solder filled
or plugged. The number of vias and the fill determine the
resultant θJA measured on the board. This is shown in Table 7.
3.3V: AVDD3
It is not necessary to split all of these power domains in all
cases. The recommended solution shown in Figure 83 provides
the lowest noise, highest efficiency power delivery system for
the AD9691. 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 AVDD1_SR,
SPIVDD, DVDD, and DRVDD, in that order. The user can
employ several different decoupling capacitors to cover both
high and low frequencies. These must be located close to the
point of entry at the PCB level and close to the devices, with
minimal trace lengths.
EXPOSED PAD THERMAL HEAT SLUG
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is required that the exposed pad on the underside of the ADC
be connected to ground to achieve the best electrical and thermal
performance of the AD9691. Connect an exposed continuous
copper plane on the PCB to the AD9691 exposed pad, Pin 0.

AVDD1_SR (PIN 78) AND AGND (PIN 77 AND PIN 81)
AVDD1_SR (Pin 78) and AGND (Pin 77 and Pin 81) can be
used to provide a separate power supply node to the SYSREF±
circuits of AD9691. If running in Subclass 1, the AD9691 can
support periodic one-shot or gapped signals. To minimize the
coupling of this supply into the AVDD1 supply node, adequate
supply bypassing is needed.
