The AD9786 is a 16-bit, high speed, CMOS DAC with 2×/4×/8×
interpolation and signal processing features tuned for communications applications. It offers state-of-the-art distortion
and noise performance. The AD9786 was developed to meet the
demanding performance requirements of multicarrier and third
generation base stations. The selectable interpolation filters
simplify interfacing to a variety of input data rates while also
taking advantage of oversampling performance gains. The
modulation modes allow convenient bandwidth placement and
selectable sideband suppression.
The flexible clock interface accepts a variety of input types such
as 1 V p-p sine wave, CMOS, and LVPECL in single-ended or
differential mode. Internal dividers generate the required data
rate interface clocks.
The AD9786 provides a differential current output, supporting
single-ended or differential applications; it provides a nominal
full-scale current from 10 mA to 20 mA. The AD9786 is
manufactured on an advanced low cost 0.25 µm CMOS process.

DEFINITION OF SPECIFICATIONS
Linearity Error (Integral Nonlinearity or INL)
Glitch Impulse
Linearity error is defined as the maximum deviation of the
actual analog output from the ideal output, determined by a
straight line drawn from zero to full scale.
Asymmetrical switching times in a DAC give rise to undesired
output transients that are quantified by a glitch impulse. It is
specified as the net area of the glitch in pV-s.
Differential Nonlinearity (or DNL)
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range
DNL is the measure of the variation in analog value, normalized to full scale, associated with a 1 LSB change in digital
input code.
The difference, in dB, between the rms amplitude of the output
signal and the peak spurious signal over the specified
bandwidth.
Monotonicity
Total Harmonic Distortion
A D/A converter is monotonic if the output either increases or
remains constant as the digital input increases.
THD is the ratio of the rms sum of the first six harmonic
components to the rms value of the measured fundamental. It is
expressed as a percentage or in decibels (dB).
Offset Error
The deviation of the output current from the ideal of zero is
called offset error. For IOUTA, 0 mA output is expected when the
inputs are all 0s. For IOUTB, 0 mA output is expected when all
inputs are set to 1s.
Gain Error
The difference between the actual and ideal output span. The
actual span is determined by the output when all inputs are set
to 1s, minus the output when all inputs are set to 0s.
Output Compliance Range
The range of allowable voltage at the output of a current-output
DAC. Operation beyond the maximum compliance limits may
cause either output stage saturation or breakdown, resulting in
nonlinear performance.
Temperature Drift
Temperature drift is specified as the maximum change from the
ambient (+25°C) value to the value at either TMIN or TMAX. For
offset and gain drift, the drift is reported in ppm of full-scale
range (FSR) per degree C. For reference drift, the drift is
reported in ppm per degree C.
Power Supply Rejection
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
S/N is the ratio of the rms value of the measured output signal
to the rms sum of all other spectral components below the
Nyquist frequency, excluding the first six harmonics and dc. The
value for SNR is expressed in decibels.
Interpolation Filter
If the digital inputs to the DAC are sampled at a multiple rate of
fDATA (interpolation rate), a digital filter can be constructed
which has a sharp transition band near fDATA/2. Images that
would typically appear around fDAC (output data rate) can be
greatly suppressed.
Pass Band
Frequency band in which any input applied therein passes
unattenuated to the DAC output.
Stop-Band Rejection
The amount of attenuation of a frequency outside the pass band
applied to the DAC, relative to a full-scale signal applied at the
DAC input within the pass band.
Group Delay
The maximum change in the full-scale output as the supplies
are varied from minimum to maximum specified voltages.
Number of input clocks between an impulse applied at the
device input and peak DAC output current. A half-band FIR
filter has constant group delay over its entire frequency range
Settling Time
Impulse Response
The time required for the output to reach and remain within a
specified error band about its final value, measured from the
start of the output transition.
Response of the device to an impulse applied to the input.
Adjacent Channel Leakage Ratio (or ACLR)
A ratio in dBc between the measured power within a channel
relative to its adjacent channel.
Rev. 0 | Page 11 of 60
AD9786
Complex Modulation
Complex Image Rejection
The process of passing the real and imaginary components of a
signal through a complex modulator (transfer function = ejwt =
coswt + jsinwt) and realizing real and imaginary components
on the modulator output.
In a traditional two part upconversion, two images are created
around the second IF frequency. These images are redundant
and have the effect of wasting transmitter power and system
bandwidth. By placing the real part of a second complex
modulator in series with the first complex modulator, either the
upper or lower frequency image near the second IF can be
rejected.
Hilbert Transform
A function with unity gain over all frequencies, but with a phase
shift of 90 degrees for negative frequencies, and a phase shift of
–90 degrees for positive frequencies. Although this function can
not be implemented ideally, it can be approximated with a short
FIR filter with enough accuracy to be very useful in single
sideband radio architectures.

SDIO (PIN 55)
Figure 36. AD9786 SPI Port Interface
The AD9786 serial port is a flexible, synchronous serial
communications port, allowing easy interface to many industrystandard microcontrollers and microprocessors. The serial I/O
is compatible with most synchronous transfer formats,
including both the Motorola SPI® and Intel® SSR protocols. The
interface allows read/write access to all registers that configure
the AD9786. Single or multiple byte transfers are supported, as
well as MSB first or LSB first transfer formats. The AD9786’s
serial interface port can be configured as a single pin I/O
(SDIO) or two unidirectional pins for in/out (SDIO/SDO).
GENERAL OPERATION OF THE SERIAL INTERFACE
There are two phases to a communication cycle with the
AD9786. Phase 1 is the instruction cycle, which is the writing of
an instruction byte into the AD9786, coincident with the first
eight SCLK rising edges. The instruction byte provides the
AD9786 serial port controller with information regarding the
data transfer cycle, which is Phase 2 of the communication
cycle. The Phase 1 instruction byte defines whether the
upcoming data transfer is read or write, the number of bytes in
the data transfer, and the starting register address for the first
byte of the data transfer. The first eight SCLK rising edges of
each communication cycle are used to write the instruction byte
into the AD9786.
A logic high on the CS pin, followed by a logic low, will reset the
SPI port timing to the initial state of the instruction cycle. This
is true regardless of the present state of the internal registers or
the other signal levels present at the inputs to the SPI port. If the
SPI port is in the midst of an instruction cycle or a data transfer
cycle, none of the present data will be written.
The remaining SCLK edges are for Phase 2 of the
communication cycle. Phase 2 is the actual data transfer
between the AD9786 and the system controller. Phase 2 of the
communication cycle is a transfer of 1, 2, 3, or 4 data bytes as
determined by the instruction byte. Using one multibyte
transfer is the preferred method. Single byte data transfers are
useful to reduce CPU overhead when register access requires
one byte only. Registers change immediately upon writing to the
last bit of each transfer byte.

Description
Transfer 1 Byte
Transfer 2 Bytes
Transfer 3 Bytes
Transfer 4 Bytes
R/W, Bit 7 of the instruction byte, determines whether a read or
a write data transfer will occur after the instruction byte write.
Logic high indicates read operation. Logic 0 indicates a write
operation. N1, N0, Bits 6 and 5 of the instruction byte,
determine the number of bytes to be transferred during the data
transfer cycle. The bit decodes are shown in Table 10.

A4, A3, A2, A1, A0, Bits 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 of the instruction byte,
determine which register is accessed during the data transfer
portion of the communications cycle. For multibyte transfers,
this address is the starting byte address. The remaining register
addresses are generated by the AD9786.
SERIAL INTERFACE PORT PIN DESCRIPTIONS
SCLK—Serial Clock. The serial clock pin is used to
synchronize data to and from the AD9786 and to run the
internal state machines. SCLK’s maximum frequency is 20 MHz.
All data input to the AD9786 is registered on the rising edge of
SCLK. All data is driven out of the AD9786 on the falling edge
of SCLK.
CSB—Chip Select. Active low input starts and gates a
communication cycle. It allows more than one device to be used
on the same serial communications lines. The SDO and SDIO
pins will go to a high impedance state when this input is high.
Chip select should stay low during the entire communication
cycle.
SDIO—Serial Data I/O. Data is always written into the
AD9786 on this pin. However, this pin can be used as a
bidirectional data line. The configuration of this pin is
controlled by Bit 7 of register address 00h. The default is
Logic 0, which configures the SDIO pin as unidirectional.
SDO—Serial Data Out. Data is read from this pin for protocols
that use separate lines for transmitting and receiving data. In the
case where the AD9786 operates in a single bidirectional I/O
mode, this pin does not output data and is set to a high
impedance state.

The same considerations apply to setting the software reset,
SWRST (00h[5]) bit. All other registers are set to their default
values, but the software reset does not affect the bits in Register

NOTES ON SERIAL PORT OPERATION
The AD9786 serial port configuration bits reside in Bits 6 and 7
of register address 00h. It is important to note that the
configuration changes immediately upon writing to the last bit
of the register. For multibyte transfers, writing to this register
may occur during the middle of communication cycle. Care
must be taken to compensate for this new configuration for the
remaining bytes of the current communication cycle.

The AD9786 serial port controller address will increment from
1Fh to 00h for multibyte I/O operations if the MSB first mode is
active. The serial port controller address will decrement from
00h to 1Fh for multibyte I/O operations if the LSB first mode
is active.

The AD9786 serial port can support both most significant bit
(MSB) first or least significant bit (LSB) first data formats. This
functionality is controlled by register address DATADIR
(00h[6]). The default is MSB first. When this bit is set active
high, the AD9786 serial port is in LSB first format. That is, if the
AD9786 is in LSB first mode, the instruction byte must be
written from least significant bit to most significant bit.
Multibyte data transfers in MSB format can be completed by
writing an instruction byte that includes the register address of
the most significant byte. In MSB first mode, the serial port
internal byte address generator decrements for each byte
required of the multibyte communication cycle. Multibyte data
transfers in LSB first format can be completed by writing an
instruction byte that includes the register address of the least
significant byte. In LSB first mode, the serial port internal byte
address generator increments for each byte required of the
multibyte communication cycle.

With the interpolation set to 1×, the DATACLK output is a
delayed and inverted version of DACCLK at the same
frequency. Note that DACCLK refers to the differential clock
inputs applied at Pins 5 and 6. As Figure 44 and Figure 45 show,
there is a constant delay between the edges of DACCLK and
DATACLK.
The DCLKPOL bit (Reg 02 Bit 4) allows the data to be latched
into the AD9786 on either the rising or falling edge of
DACCLK. With DCLKPOL = 0, the data is latched in on the
falling edge of DACCLK, as shown in Figure 44. With
DCLKPOL = 1, as shown in Figure 45, data is latched in on the
rising edge of DACCLK. The setup and hold times are always
with respect to the latching edge of DACCLK.

With the interpolation set to 2×, the DACCLK input runs at
twice the speed of the DATACLK. Data is latched into the
digital inputs of the AD9786 on every other rising edge of
DACCLK, as shown in Figure 47 and Figure 48. With
DCLKPOL = 0, as shown in Figure 47, the latching edge of
DACCLK is the rising edge that occurs just before the falling
edge of DATACLK. With DCLKPOL = 1, as in Figure 48, the
latching edge of DACCLK is the rising edge of DACCLK that
occurs just before the rising edge of DATACLK. The setup
and hold time values are identical to those in Figure 44 and
Figure 45.
interpolation mode. Similar to operation in the 2× interpolation
mode, with DCLKPOL = 0, the latching edge of DACCLK is the
rising edge that occurs just before the falling edge of
DATACLK. With DCLKPOL = 1, the latching edge of DACCLK
is the rising edge that occurs just before the rising edge of
DATACLK. The setup and hold time values are identical to
those in 1× and 2× interpolation.
Note that there is a slight difference in the delay from the rising
edge of DACCLK to the falling edge of DATACLK, and the
delay from the rising edge of DACCLK to the rising edge of
DATACLK. As Figure 46 shows, the DATACLK duty cycle is
slightly less than 50%. This is true in all modes.
03152-PrD-068
With the interpolation set to 4× or 8×, the DACCLK input runs
at 4× or 8× the speed of the DATACLK output. The data is
latched in on a rising edge of DACCLK, similar to the 2×
interpolation mode. However, the latching edge is every fourth
edge in 4× interpolation mode and every eighth edge in the 8×

AD9786
AD9786 DATACLK Slave Mode, Data Recovery On
DATACLK (Pin 31) can be used as an input in order to
synchronize multiple AD9786s. A clock generated by an
AD9786 operating in master mode, or a clock from an external
source, can be used to drive DATACLK.
In this mode, there are two clocks required to be applied to the
AD9786. A clock running at the DAC sample rate, referred to as
DACCLK, must be applied to the differential inputs (Pins 5 and
6) of the AD9786. As described above, a clock at the input
sample rate must also be applied to Pin 31 (DATACLK). An
internal DLL synchronizes the two applied clocks. The timing
relationships between the input data, DATACLK, and DACCLK
are given in Figure 49 and Figure 50.
Note that DCLKPOL (Reg 02h, Bit 4) can be used to select the
edge of DACCLK upon which the input data is latched.
There is a defined setup and hold window with respect to input
data and the latching edge of DACCLK. There is also a required
timing relationship between DATACLK and DACCLK. This is
referred to in Figure 49 and Figure 50 as tST and tHT (setup and
hold for transition). As an example, with DCLKPOL set to
logic 0, the input data will latch on the first rising edge of
DACCLK which occurs greater than 1.5 ns before the falling
edge of DATACLK. DACCLK should not be given a rising edge
in the window of 500 ps to 1.5 ns before the latching edge
(falling when DCLKPOL = 0, rising when DCLKPOL = 1) of
DATACLK. Failure to account for this timing relationship may
result in corrupt data.
There are three status bits available for read which allow the
user to verify DLL lock. These are Bits 0, 1, and 2 (DCRCSTAT)
in Reg 12h.

AD9786
AD9786 Low Setup/Hold Mode (DATACLK input, data
recovery off)
The timing is similar to the slave mode with data recovery on.
There is still a required timing relationship between DACCLK
and DATACLK in, as shown in Figure 51 and Figure 52. As
these show, the digital input data is latched in on the
DATACLK edge, rather than DACCLK. One advantage of this
mode is that the setup and hold numbers for the input data with
respect to DATACLK are much smaller than the similar specs in
the slave/clock recovery mode.
Some applications may require that digital input data be
synchronized with the DATACLK input, rather than DACCLK.
For these applications, the AD9786 can be programmed for Low
Setup/Hold Mode by entering the values in Table 26 into the
SPI registers. With data recovery off and the MODSYNC bit set
to logic 1, the AD9786 will latch data in on the rising or falling
edge of DATACLK input, depending on the state of DCLKPOL.
Note that in this mode, the DATAADJ bits have no effect.

AD9786
AD9786 External Sync Mode
There is one additional timing mode in which the AD9786 may
be used. In the External Sync Mode, the DATACLK is
programmed as an input, but is not used. Applying a DATACLK
input while in this mode will have no effect. The digital input
data is synchronized solely to the DACCLK input. With 1×
interpolation, this means that the data input will be latched on
every rising edge of DACCLK. The challenge is that the user has
no way of knowing exactly which edge is the latching edge
when the interpolating filters are in use. In 2×, 4×, and 8×
interpolation modes, the latching edge of DACCLK will be
either every 2nd, 4th, or 8th edge, respectively.
With the 2 ns keep out window, as shown in Figure 53, there is
a strong possibility of violating setup and hold times, especially
at high speeds. It is recommended that users sense the DAC
output noise floor for setup and hold violations. If setup and
hold is violated, DCLKPOL can be switched. The effect of
switching the state of DCLKPOL is that the latching edge will
be moved by one, two, or four DACCLK cycles if the AD9786 is
in 2×, 4×, or 8× interpolation modes, respectively.
Note that in this mode, the DATAADJ bits have no effect.

DATAADJUST Synchronization
When designing the digital interface for high speed DACs, care
must be taken to ensure that the DAC input data meets setup
and hold requirements. Often, compensation must be used in
the clock delay path to the digital engine driving the DAC. The
AD9786 has the on-chip capability to vary the latching edge of
DACCLK. With the interpolation function enabled, this allows
the user the choice of multiple edges upon which to latch the
data. For instance, if the AD9786 is using 8× interpolation, the
user may latch from one of eight edges before the rising edge of
DATACLK, or seven edges after this rising edge. The specific
edge upon which data is latched is controlled by SPI Register
05h, Bits 7:4. Table 27 shows the relationship of the latching
edge of DACCLK and DATACLK with the various settings of
the DATAADJ bits.

RISING EDGE OF DATACLK
CONCURRENT WITH
LATCHING EDGE OF DACCLK
Note that the data in Figure 44 to Figure 53 was taken with the
DATAADJ default of 0000. With DCLKPOL = 0, the latching
edge of DACCLK is just previous to the rising edge of
DATACLK; with DCLKPOL = 1, the latching edge of DACCLK
is just previous to the falling edge of DATACLK. Table 27
describes the values available for 8× interpolation which gives a
choice of 16 edges to sync data. With 4× interpolation, there will
be a choice of 8 edges, and the relevant values from Table 27 will
be 0000, 0010, 0100, 0110, 1000, 1010, 1100, and 1110. These
options will allow latching edge placement from +3 cycles to
–4 cycles. In 2× interpolation, 4 edges will be available, and the
relevant values from Table 27 will be 0000, 0100, 1000, and 1100.
The choices for DATAADJ are diminished to +1 cycle to
–2 cycles.
Figure 54, Figure 55, and Figure 56 show the alignment for the
latching edge of DACCLK with 4× interpolation and different
settings for DATAADJ. In Figure 54, the AD9786 is in
DATACLK Master Mode. DATAADJ is set to 0000, with
DCLKPOL set to 0 so that the latching edge of DACCLK is
immediately before the rising edge of DATACLK. The data
transitions shown in Figure 54 are synchronous with the
DACCLK, so that DACCLK and input data are constant with
respect to each other. The only visible change when DATAADJ
is altered is that DATACLK moves, indicating the latching edge
has moved as well. Note that in DATACLK Master Mode, when
DATAADJ is altered, the latching edge with respect to
DATACLK remains the same.

Figure 56 shows the same conditions, with DATAADJ set to

indicates that it occurs one DACCLK cycle after it did in
Figure 54. In this case, the latching edge of DACCLK moves
forward in time one cycle.

A DAC shapes its output with a sinc function, having a null at
the sampling frequency of the DAC. The higher the DAC sampling rate compared to the input signal bandwidth, the less the
DAC sinc function will shape the output. The higher the
interpolation rate, the more input data images fall in the
interpolation filter stop band and are rejected; the bandwidth
between passed images is larger with higher interpolation
factors. The sinc function shaping is also reduced with a higher
interpolation factor.

Interpolation is the process of increasing the number of points
in a time domain waveform by approximating points between
the input data points, on a uniform time grid. This produces a
higher output data rate. Applied to an interpolation DAC, a
digital interpolation filter is used to approximate the interpolated points, having an output data rate increased by the
interpolation factor. Interpolation filter responses are achieved
by cascading individual digital filter banks, whose filter
coefficients are given in Table 23, Table 24, and Table 25. Filter
responses are shown in Figure 57, which shows the interpolation filters of the AD9786 under different interpolation rates,
normalized to the input data rate, fSIN.

The digital filter’s frequency domain response exhibits
symmetry about half the output data rate and dc. It will cause
images of the input data to be shaped by the interpolation
filter’s frequency response. This has the advantage of causing
input data images, which fall in the stop band of the digital filter
to be rejected by the stop-band attenuation of the interpolation
filter; input data images falling in the interpolation filter’s pass
band will be passed. In band-limited applications, the images at
the output of the DAC must be limited by an analog reconstruction filter. The complexity of the analog reconstruction filter is
determined by the proximity of the closest image to the
required signal band. Higher interpolation rates yield larger
stop-band regions, suppressing more input images and resulting
in a much relaxed analog reconstruction filter.

REAL AND COMPLEX SIGNALS
A complex signal contains both magnitude and phase
information. Given two signals at the same frequency, if a point
in time can be taken such that the signal leading in phase is
cosinusoidal and the lagging signal is sinusoidal, then
information pertaining to the magnitude and phase of a
combination of the two signals can be derived; the combination
of the two signals can be considered a complex signal. The
cosine and sine can be represented as a series of exponentials;
recalling that a multiplication by j is a counterclockwise rotation
about the Re/Im plane, the phasor representation of a complex
signal, with frequency f, can be shown in Figure 58.

The cosine term represents a signal on the real plane with
mirror symmetry about dc; this is referred to as the real, inphase or I component of a complex signal. The sine term
represents a signal on the imaginary plane with mirror
asymmetry about dc; this term is referred to as the imaginary,
quadrature or Q complex signal component.
The AD9786 has two channels of interpolation filters, allowing
both I and Q components to be shaped by the same filter
transfer function. The interpolation filters’ frequency response
is a real transfer function. Two DACs are required to represent a
complex signal. A single DAC can only synthesize a real signal.
When a DAC synthesizes a real signal, negative frequency
components fold onto the positive frequency axis. If the input to
the DAC is mirror symmetrical about dc, the folded negative
frequency components fold directly onto the positive frequency
components in phase producing constructive signal summation.
If the input to the DAC is not mirror symmetric about dc,
negative frequency components may not be in phase with
positive frequency components and will cause destructive signal
summation. Different applications may or may not benefit from
either type of signal summation.

Either channel of the AD9786’s interpolation filter channels can
be routed to the DAC and modulated. In single channel
operation the input data may be modulated by a real sinusoid;
the input data and the modulating sinusoid will contain both
positive and negative frequency components. A double sideband output results when modulating two real signals. At the
DAC output the positive and negative frequency components
will add in phase resulting in constructive signal summation.
As the modulating sinusoidal frequency becomes a larger
fraction of the DAC update rate, fDAC, the more the sinc function
of the DAC shapes the modulated signal bandwidth, and the
closer the first image moves. As the AD9786 interpolation
filter’s pass band represents a large portion of the input data’s
Nyquist band, under certain modulation and interpolation
modes it is possible for modulated signal bands to touch or
overlap images if sufficient interpolation is not used.
Figure 59 shows the effects of fDAC/8 modulation when using
8× interpolation.
Figure 60 to Figure 62 show the effects of real modulation
under all interpolation modes. The sinc shaping at the corners
of the modulated signal band, and the bandwidth to the first
image for those cases whose pass bands do not touch or overlap,
are tabulated.

Table 34. Complex Modulated Pass-Band Edges Sinc Shaping
(Lower/Upper)
In dual channel mode, the two channels may be modulated by
a complex signal, with either the real or imaginary modulation
result directed to the DAC. Assume initially, as in Figure 63,
that the complex modulating signal is defined for a positive
frequency only. This causes the output spectrum to be translated in frequency by the modulation factor only. No additional
sidebands are created as a result of the modulation process, and
therefore the bandwidth to the first image from the baseband
bandwidth is the same as the output of the interpolation filters.
Furthermore, pass bands will not overlap or touch. The sinc
shaping at the corners of the modulated signal band are
tabulated in Table 34. Figure 64, Figure 65, and Figure 66 show
the effects of complex modulation with varying interpolation
rates.

The current for the 2.5 V analog supplies and the digital
supplies varies depending on speed and mode of operation.
Figure 67, Figure 68, and Figure 69 show this variation. Note
that CLKVDD, ADVDD, and ACVDD vary with clock speed
and interpolation rate, but not with modulation rate.

When complex modulation is performed, the entire spectrum is
translated by the modulation factor. If the resulting modulated
spectrum is not mirror symmetric about dc, when the DAC
synthesizes the modulated signal, negative frequency components will fall on the positive frequency axis and can cause
destructive summation of the signals, as shown in Figure 70. For
some applications, this can distort the modulated output signal.

the original complex modulation output all negative frequency
components can be folded in phase to the positive frequency
axis before being synthesized by the DAC. When the DAC
synthesizes the modulated output there are no negative
frequency components to fold onto the positive frequency axis
out of phase; consequently no distortion is produced as a result
of the modulation process.

Figure 72. Negative Frequency Aliasing Distortion
Referring to Figure 71, by performing a second complex
modulation with a modulating signal having a fixed π/2 phase
difference, Figure (Y), relative to the original complex
modulation signal, Figure (X), taking the Hilbert transform of
the new resulting complex modulation, and subtracting it from
Figure 72 shows this effect at the DAC output for a mirror
asymmetric signal about dc produced by complex modulation
without a Hilbert transform. The signal bandwidth was narrowed to show the aliased negative frequency interpolation
images.

In contrast, Figure 73 shows the same waveform with the
Hilbert transform applied. Clearly, the aliased interpolation
images are not present.
Figure 74 and Figure 75 show the gain of the Hilbert transform
versus frequency. Gain is essentially flat, with a pass-band ripple
of 0.1 dB over the frequency range 0.07 × Sample Rate to

Figure 76 shows the phase response of the Hilbert transform
implemented in the AD9786. The phase response for positive
frequencies begins at –90° at 0 Hz, followed by a linear phase
response (pure time delay) equal to nine filter taps (nine
DACCLK cycles). For negative frequencies, the phase response
at 0 Hz is +90°, again followed by a linear phase delay of nine
filter taps. To compensate for the unwanted 9-cycle delay, an
equal delay of nine taps is used in the AD9786 digital signal
path opposite to the Hilbert transform. This delay block is
noted as t on the block diagram on the first page of this data
sheet.

The transfer function of an ideal Hilbert transform has a +90°
phase shift for negative frequencies, and a –90° phase shift for
positive frequencies. Because of the discontinuities that occur at
0 Hz and at 0.5 × Sample Rate, any real implementation of the
Hilbert Transform trades off bandwidth versus ripple.

A baseband double sideband signal modulated to IF increases
IF filter complexity and reduces power efficiency. If the baseband signal is complex, a single sideband IF modulation can be
used, relaxing IF filter complexity and increasing power
efficiency.

Figure 77. AD9786 Driving Quadrature Modulator
The AD9786 can be configured to drive a quadrature modulator representatively, as in Figure 77. Where two AD9786s are
used with one AD9786 producing the real output, the second
AD9786 produces the imaginary output. By configuring the
AD9786 as a complex modulator coupled to a quadrature
modulator, IF image rejection is possible. The quadrature
modulator acts as the real part of a complex modulation producing a double sideband spectrum at the local oscillator (LO)
frequency, with mirror symmetry about dc.

AD9786
Master/Slave, Modulator/DATACLK Master Modes
In applications where two or more AD9786s are used to synthesize several digital data paths, it may be necessary to ensure
that the digital inputs to each device are latched synchronously.
In complex data processing applications, digital modulator
phase alignment may be required between two AD9786s. In
order to allow data synchronization and phase alignment, only
one AD9786 should be configured as a master device, providing
a reference clock for another slave-configured AD9786.
The second master mode, DATACLK master mode, generates a
reference clock that is at the channel data rate. In this mode, the
slave devices align their internal channel data rate clock to the
master. If modulator phase alignment is needed, a concurrent
serial write to all slave devices is necessary. To achieve this, the
CSB pin on all slaves must be connected together and a group
serial write to the MODADJ register bits must be performed;
the modulator coefficient alignment is updated on the next
rising edge of the internal state machine following a successful
serial write, see Figure 81. Modulator master mode does not
need a concurrent serial write as slaves lock to the master phase
automatically.
With synchronization enabled, a reference clock signal is
generated on the DATACLK pin of the master. The DATACLK
pins on the slave devices act as inputs for the reference clock
generated by the master. The DATACLK pin on the master and
all slaves must be directly connected. All master and slave
devices must have the same clock source connected to their
respective CLK+/CLK– pins.
In a slave device, the local channel data rate clock and the digital
modulator clock are created from the internal state machine.
The local channel data rate clock is used by the slave to latch
digital input data. At high data rates, the delay inherent in the
signal path from master to slave may cause the slave to lag the
master when acquiring synchronization. To account for this, an
integer number of the DAC update clock cycles may be
programmed into the slave device as an offset. The value in
DATADJ allows the local channel data rate clock in the slave
device to advance by up to eight cycles of the DAC clock or to
be delayed by up to seven cycles, see Figure 84.
When configured as a master, the reference clock generated may
take one of two forms. In modulator master mode, the reference
clock will be a square wave with a period equal to 16 cycles of
the DAC update clock. Internal to the AD9786 is a 16-state
finite state machine, running at the DAC update rate. This state
machine generates all internal and external synchronization
clocks and modulator phasings. The rising edge of the master
reference clock is time aligned to the internal state machine’s
state zero. Slave devices use the master’s reference clock to
synchronize their data latching and align their modulator’s
phase by aligning their local state machine state zero to the
master.
The digital modulator coefficients are updated at the DAC clock
rate and decoded in sequential order from the state machine
according to Figure 83. The MODADJ bits can be used to align
a different coefficient to the finite state machine’s zero state as
shown in Figure 84.

AD9786
OPERATING THE AD9786 REV F EVALUATION BOARD
This section helps the user get started with the AD9786
evaluation board. Because it is intended to provide starter
information to power up the board and verify correct operation,
a description of some of the more advanced modes of operation
has been omitted.
POWER SUPPLIES
The AD9786 Rev F Evaluation Board has five power supply
connectors, labeled AVDD1, AVDD2, (ACVDD, ADVDD),
CLKVDD, and DVDD. The AD9786 itself actually has seven
power supply domains. To reconcile the power supply domains
on the chip with the power supply connectors on the evaluation
board, use Table 38.
Additionally, the DRVDD power supply on the AD9786 is used
to supply power for the digital input bus. DRVDD can be run
from 2.5 V or 3.3 V. On the evaluation board, DRVDD is jumper
selectable by JP1, just to the left of the chip on the evaluation
board. With the jumper set to the 3.3 V position, DRVDD chip
receives its power from VDD3IN. With the jumper set to the
2.5 V position, DRVDD receives its power from AVDIN.
CLKVDDS
PECL CLOCK DRIVER
The AD9786 system clock is driven from an external source via
connector S1. The AD9786 Evaluation Board includes an
OnSemiconductor MC100EPT22 PECL clock driver. In the
factory, the evaluation board is set to use this PECL driver as a
single-ended-to-differential clock receiver. The PECL driver can
be set to run from 2.5 V from the CLKVDD power connector,
or 3.3 V from the VDD3IN power connector. This setting is
done via jumper, JP2, situated next to the CLKVDD power
connector, and by setting input bias resistors R23 and R4 on the
evaluation board. The factory default is for the PECL driver to
be powered from CLKVDD at 2.5 V (R23 = 90.9 Ω, R4 =
115 Ω). To operate the PECL driver with a 3.3 V supply, R23
must be replaced with a 115 Ω resistor and R4 must be replaced
with a 90.9 Ω resistor, as well as changing the position of JP2.
The schematic of the PECL driver section of the evaluation
board is shown in Figure 85. A low jitter sine wave should be
used as the clock source. Care must be taken to make sure the
clock amplitude does not exceed the power supply rails for the
PECL driver.

AD9786
DATA INPUTS
Digital data inputs to the AD9786 are accessed on the
evaluation board through connectors J1 and J2. These are 40 pin
right angle connectors that are intended to be used with
standard ribbon cable connectors. The input levels should be
either 3.3 V or 2.5 V CMOS, depending on the setting of the
DRVDD jumper JP1. The data format is selectable through
Register 02h, Bit 7 (DATAFMT). With this bit set to a default 0,
the AD9786 assumes that the input data is in twos complement
format. With this bit set to 1, data should be input in offset
binary format.
When the evaluation board is first powered up and the clock
and data are running, it is recommended that the proper
operating current is verified. Depress reset switch SW1 to
ensure that the AD9786 is in the default mode. The default
mode for the AD9786 is for the interpolation set to 1×. The
modulator is turned off in the default mode. The nominal
operating currents for the evaluation board in the power-up
default mode are shown in Table 39.
Additionally, the DRVDD power supply on the AD9786 is used
to supply power for the digital input bus. DRVDD can be run
from 2.5 V or 3.3 V. On the evaluation board, DRVDD is jumper
selectable by JP1, just to the left of the chip on the evaluation
board. With the jumper set to the 3.3 V position, DRVDD chip
receives its power from VDD3IN. With the jumper set to the
2.5 V position, DRVDD receives its power from AVDIN.
SERIAL PORT
SW1 is a hard reset switch that sets the AD9786 to its default
state. It should be used every time the AD9786 power supply is
cycled or the clock is interrupted, or if new data is to be written
via the SPI port. Set the SPI software to read back data from the
AD9786 and verify that when the software is run, the expected
values are read back.

AD9786
ANALOG OUTPUT
The analog output of the AD9786 is accessed via connector S3.
Once all settings are selected and current levels and SPI port
functionality are verified, the analog signal at S3 can be viewed.
For most of the AD9786’s applications, a spectrum analyzer is
the instrument of choice to verify proper performance. A typical
spectral plot is shown in Figure 86, with the AD9786 synthesizing a two-tone signal in the default mode with a 200 MSPS
sample rate. A single tone CW signal should provide output
power of approximately +0.5 dBm to the spectrum analyzer.
If the spectrum does not look correct at this point, the data
input may be violating setup and hold times with respect to the
input clock. To correct this, the user should vary the input data
timing. If this is not possible, SPI Register 02h, Bit 4
(DCLKPOL) can be inverted. This bit controls the clock edge
upon which the data is latched. If these methods do not correct
the spectrum, it is unlikely that the issue is timing related. This
note should then be reread to verify that all instructions have
been followed.
