ML2036
Serial Input Programmable Sine Wave Generator
with Digital Gain Control
Features
General Description
• Programmable output frequency – DC to 50kHz
• Low gain error and total harmonic distortion
• 3-wire SPI compatible serial microprocessor interface
with double buffered data latch
• Fully integrated solution – no external components
required
• Frequency resolution of 1.5Hz (±0.75Hz) with a 12MHz
clock input
• Onboard 3 to 12MHz crystal oscillator
• Clock outputs of 1/2 or 1/8 of the input clock frequency
• Synchronous or asynchronous data loading capability
• Compatible with ML2004 logarithmic gain/attenuator
The ML2036 is a monolithic sine wave generator whose
output is programmable from DC to 50kHz. No external
components are required. The frequency of the sinewave
output is derived from either an external crystal or clock
input, providing a stable and accurate frequency reference.
The frequency is programmed by a 16-bit serial data word.
The ML2036 provides for a VOUT amplitude of either ±VREF
or ±VREF/2. Also included with the ML2036 is an inhibit
function which allows the sinewave output to be held at zero
volts after completing the last half cycle of the sine wave in
progress. Two digital clock outputs are provided to drive
other devices with one half or one eighth of the input clock
frequency.
The ML2036 is intended for telecommunications and
modem applications that need low cost and accurate generation of precise test tones, call progress tones, and signaling
tones.

PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
ML2036
Functional Description
The ML2036 has a VREF input that can be tied to VCC or
generated from an external voltage. With the GAIN input
equal to a logic “1”, the sine wave peak-to-peak voltage is
equal to ±VREF; with the GAIN equal to a logic “0”, the
peak voltage is ±VREF/2. However, the overall output voltage swing is limited to no closer than 1.5V to either rail.
This means that to avoid clipping, VREF can only be tied to
VCC when GAIN is a logic “0”. The sinewave output is
referenced to AGND.
The ML2036 is composed of a programmable frequency
generator, a sine wave generator, a crystal oscillator, and
a serial digital interface. The ML2036 frequency and sine
wave generator functional block diagram is shown in
Figure 4.
Programmable Frequency Generator
The programmable frequency generator produces a digital
output whose frequency is determined by a 16-bit digital
word.
The analog section is designed to operate over a range from
DC to 50kHz. Due to slew rate limitations, the peak-to-peak
output voltage must be limited to VOUT(P-P) ≤ (125kV x
Hz)/fOUT. For example, an output at 50kHz must be limited
to 2.5VP-P. VOUT can drive a 1kΩ, 100pF load and swing
to within 1.5V of VCC and VSS, provided the slew rate
limitations mentioned above are not exceeded.
The frequency generator is composed of a phase accumulator which is clocked at fCLK IN/4. The value stored in the
data latch is added to the phase accumulator every 4 cycles
of CLK IN. The frequency of the analog output is equal to
the rate at which the accumulator overflows and is given by
the equation:
f CLKIN X ( D15 – D0 ) DEC
f OUT = -------------------------------------------------------------23
2
The output offset voltage, VOS, is a function of the peak-topeak output voltage and is specified as:
2.5 + V OUT ( P – P )
V OS ( MAX ) = ±  --------------------------------------------


100
(1)
The frequency resolution and the minimum frequency are
the same and is given by the following equation:
f CLKIN
∆f MIN = ---------------23
2
(3)
For example, if VOUT(P-P) = 2.5V:
2.5 + 2.5
V OS ( MAX ) = ±  ----------------------- = ± 50mV
 100 
(2)
Crystal Oscillator
When fCLK IN = 12.352MHz, ∆fMIN = 1.5Hz (±0.75Hz).
Lower frequencies are obtained by using a lower input clock
frequency.
The crystal oscillator generates an accurate reference clock
for the programmable frequency generator. The internal
clock can be generated with a crystal or external clock.
Due to the phase quantization nature of the frequency generator, spurious tones can be present in the output range of
–55dB relative to fundamental. The energy from these tones
is included in the signal to noise + distortion specification.
The frequency of these tones can be very close to the fundamental. Therefore, it is not practical to filter them out.
If a crystal is used, it must be placed between CLK IN and
DGND of the ML2036. An on-chip crystal oscillator will
then generate the internal clock. No other external capacitors
or components are required. The crystal should be a parallelresonant type with a frequency between 3MHz to 12.4MHz.
It should be placed physically as close as possible to the
CLK IN and DGND.
Sinewave Generator
The sinewave generator is composed of a sine look-up table,
a DAC, and an output smoothing filter. The sine look-up
table is addressed by the phase accumulator. The DAC is
driven by the output of the look-up table and generates a
staircase representation of a sine wave.
An external clock can drive CLK IN directly if desired. The
frequency of this clock can be anywhere between 0 and
12MHz.
The output filter smoothes the analog output by removing the
high frequency sampling components. The resultant voltage
on VOUT is a sinusoid with the second and third harmonic
distortion components at least 45dB below the fundamental.

ML2036
The crystal must have the following characteristics:
1.
Parallel resonant type
2.
Frequency: 3MHz to 12.4MHz
3.
Maximum equivalent series resistance of 15Ω at a drive
levels of 1µW to 200µW, and 30Ω at drive levels of
10nW to 1µW
4.
Typical load capacitance: 18pF
5.
Maximum case capacitance: 7pF
The frequency of oscillation will be a function of the crystal
parameters and PC board capacitance. Crystals that meet
these requirements at 12.352000MHz are M-tron 3709-010
12.352 for 0°C to 70°C and 3709-020 12.352 for -40°C to
85°C operation.
The ML2036 has two clock outputs that can be used to drive
other external devices. The CLK OUT 1 output is a buffered
output from the oscillator divided by 2. The CLK OUT 2
output is a buffered output from the oscillator divided by 8.
Serial Digital Interface
The digital interface consists of a shift register and data
latch. The serial 16-bit data word on SID is clocked into a
16-bit shift register on rising edges of the serial shift clock,
SCK. The LSB should be shifted in first and the MSB last as
shown in Figure 4. The data that has been shifted into the
shift register is loaded into a 16-bit data latch on the falling
edge of LATI. To insure that true data is loaded into the data
latch from the shift register, LATI falling edge should occur
when SCK is low, as shown in figure 1. LATI should be low
while shifting data into the shift register to avoid inadvertently entering the power down mode. Note that all data is
entered and latched on the edges, not levels, of SCK and
LATI.

PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
Inhibit and Power Down Modes
The ML2036 has an inhibit mode and a power down mode
which are controlled by the three-level PDN–INH input as
described in Table 1. If a logic “1”, (VI3) is applied to the
PDN–INH pin, the power down mode is entered by entering
all zeros in the shift register and applying a logic “1” to LATI
and holding it high. A zero data detect circuit detects when
all bits in the shift register are zeros. In this state, the power
consumption is reduced to 11.5mW max, and VOUT goes to
0V as shown in Figure 6 and appears as 10kΩ to AGND.
CLK IN can be left active or removed during power down
mode. Also, the ML2036 can be placed in the power down
mode by applying a logic “0” to the PDN–INH pin, regardless of the contents of the shift register and the state of LATI.
If VSS to VSS + 0.5V (VI2) is applied to the PDN–INH pin,
the inhibit mode is entered by shifting all zeros into the shift
register and applying a logic “1” to the LATI pin. Once the
inhibit mode is entered VOUT will complete the last half
cycle of the sinewave and then be held at approximately
VOS, such that no voltage step occurs, as shown in Figure 6.
Power Supplies
The analog circuits in ML2036 are powered from VCC to
VSS and are referenced to AGND. The digital circuits in the
device are powered from VCC to DGND. It is recommended
that AGND and DGND be connected together close to the
device, and have a good connection back to the power
source.
It is recommended that the power supplies to the device
should be bypassed by placing decoupling capacitors from
VCC to AGND and VSS to AGND as physically close to the
device as possible.
