It includes features optimized for direct conversion transmit applications, including complex digital modulation, and gain and offset compensation. The DAC outputs are optimized to interface seamlessly with analog quadrature modulators, such as the ADL537x F-MOD series from Analog Devices, Inc. A 4-wire serial port interface allows programming/readback of many internal parameters. Full-scale output current can be programmed over a range of 8.7 mA to 31.7 mA. The AD9125 comes in a 72-lead LFCSP. APPLICATIONS PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS Wireless infrastructure W-CDMA, CDMA2000, TD-SCDMA, WiMAX, GSM, LTE Digital high or low IF synthesis Transmit diversity Wideband communications: LMDS/MMDS, point-to-point Cable modem termination systems 1. 2. 3. 4. Ultralow noise and intermodulation distortion (IMD) enable high quality synthesis of wideband signals from baseband to high intermediate frequencies. A proprietary DAC output switching technique enhances dynamic performance. The current outputs are easily configured for various single-ended or differential circuit topologies. The flexible CMOS digital interface allows the standard 32-wire bus to be reduced to a 16-wire bus.

One-Carrier W-CDMA ACLR Performance, IF ≈150 MHz Rev. 0 | Page 15 of 56 AD9125 TERMINOLOGY Integral Nonlinearity (INL) INL is defined as the maximum deviation of the actual analog output from the ideal output, determined by a straight line drawn from zero scale to full scale. Settling Time The time required for the output to reach and remain within a specified error band around its final value, measured from the start of the output transition. Differential Nonlinearity (DNL) DNL is the measure of the variation in analog value, normalized to full scale, associated with a 1 LSB change in digital input code. Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) The difference in decibels between the peak amplitude of the output signal and the peak spurious signal within the dc to the Nyquist frequency of the DAC. Typically, energy in this band is rejected by the interpolation filters. This specification, therefore, defines how well the interpolation filters work and the effect of other parasitic coupling paths to the DAC output. Offset Error The deviation of the output current from the ideal of zero is called offset error. For IOUT1P, 0 mA output is expected when the inputs are all 0s. For IOUT1N, 0 mA output is expected when all inputs are set to 1. Gain Error The difference between the actual and ideal output span. The actual span is determined by the difference between the outputs when all inputs are set to 1 vs. when all inputs are set to 0. Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) SNR 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. Output Compliance Range The range of allowable voltage at the output of a current output DAC. Operation beyond the maximum compliance limits can cause either output stage saturation or breakdown, resulting in nonlinear performance. 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 that has a sharp transition band near fDATA/2. Images that typically appear around fDAC (output data rate) can be greatly suppressed. 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 fullscale range (FSR) per degree Celsius. For reference drift, the drift is reported in ppm per degree Celsius. Adjacent Channel Leakage Ratio (ACLR) The ratio in decibels relative to the carrier (dBc) between the measured power within a channel and that of its adjacent channel. Complex Image Rejection In a traditional two-part upconversion, two images are created around the second IF frequency. These images 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. Power Supply Rejection (PSR) The maximum change in the full-scale output as the supplies are varied from minimum to maximum specified voltages. 16 16 2 LATCH INPUT DATA FORMAT 32 2 2 2 SIN NCO COS FIFO 16 16 2 DCI WRITE POINTER fINTERFACE I DAC READ POINTER fDATA /fHB1 CLOCK GENERATOR AND DISTRIBUTOR fNCO /fHB2 Figure 36.

The dual digital signal path and dual DAC structure allow an easy interface to common quadrature modulators when designing single sideband transmitters. The speed and performance of the AD9125 allows wider bandwidths and more carriers to be synthesized than in previously available DACs. In addition, these devices include an innovative low power, 32-bit, complex NCO that greatly increases the ease of frequency placement. The AD9125 offers features that allow simplified synchronization with incoming data and between multiple devices. Auxiliary DACs are also provided on chip for output dc offset compensation (for local oscillator [LO] compensation in single sideband [SSB] transmitters) and for gain matching (for image rejection optimization in SSB transmitters). SERIAL PORT OPERATION The serial port is a flexible, synchronous serial communication port, allowing easy interface to many industry-standard 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 AD9125. Single- or multiple-byte transfers are supported, as well as MSBfirst or LSB-first transfer formats. The serial interface ports can be configured as a single-pin I/O (SDIO) or two unidirectional pins for input/output (SDIO/SDO). CS 53 SPI PORT 09016-010 SCLK 52 DATA FORMAT The instruction byte contains the information shown in Table 9. Table 9. Serial Port Instruction Byte I7 (MSB) R/W I6 A6 I5 A5 I4 A4 I3 A3 I2 A2 I1 A1 I0 (LSB) A0 R/W, Bit 7 of the instruction byte, determines whether a read or write data transfer occurs after the instruction byte write. Logic 1 indicates a read operation, and Logic 0 indicates a write operation. A6 to A0, Bit 6 to Bit 0 of the instruction byte, determine the register that is accessed during the data transfer portion of the communication cycle. For multibyte transfers, A6 is the starting byte address. The remaining register addresses are generated by the device based on the LSB_FIRST bit (Register 0x00, Bit 6). SERIAL PORT PIN DESCRIPTIONS Serial Clock (SCLK) The serial clock pin synchronizes data to and from the device and runs the internal state machines. The maximum frequency of SCLK is 40 MHz. All data input is registered on the rising edge of SCLK. All data is driven out on the falling edge of SCLK. SDO 50 SDIO 51 The remaining SCLK edges are for Phase 2 of the communication cycle. Phase 2 is the actual data transfer between the device and the system controller. Phase 2 of the communication cycle is a transfer of one or more data bytes. Registers change immediately upon writing to the last bit of each transfer byte, except for the frequency tuning word and NCO phase offsets, which only change when the frequency update bit (Register 0x36, Bit 0) is set. Chip Select (CS) Figure 37. Serial Port Interface Pins An active low input starts and gates a communication cycle. It allows more than one device to be used on the same serial communication lines. The SDO and SDIO pins go to a high impedance state when this input is high. During the communication cycle, the CS pin should stay low. There are two phases of a communication cycle with the AD9125. Phase 1 is the instruction cycle (the writing of an instruction byte into the device), which is coincident with the first eight SCLK rising edges. The instruction byte provides the 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 a read or write 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 device. Serial Data I/O (SDIO) A logic high on the CS pin followed by a logic low resets the serial port timing to the initial state of the instruction cycle. From this state, the next eight rising SCLK edges represent the instruction bits of the current I/O operation. Data is read from this pin for protocols that use separate lines for transmitting and receiving data. In the case where the device operates in a single bidirectional I/O mode, this pin does not output data and is set to a high impedance state. Data is always written into the device on this pin. However, this pin can be used as a bidirectional data line. The configuration of this pin is controlled by Register 0x00, Bit 7. The default is Logic 0, configuring the SDIO pin as unidirectional. Serial Data Out (SDO) Rev. 0 | Page 17 of 56 AD9125 SERIAL PORT OPTIONS INSTRUCTION CYCLE When LSB_FIRST = 0 (MSB-first), the instruction and data bit must be written from MSB to LSB. Multibyte data transfers in MSB-first format start with an instruction byte that includes the register address of the most significant data byte. Subsequent data bytes should follow from the high address to the low address. In MSB-first mode, the serial port internal byte address generator decrements for each data byte of the multibyte communication cycle. SDIO When LSB_FIRST = 1 (LSB-first), the instruction and data bit must be written from LSB to MSB. Multibyte data transfers in LSB-first format start with an instruction byte that includes the register address of the least significant data byte followed by multiple data bytes. The serial port internal byte address generator increments for each byte of the multibyte communication cycle. SCLK The serial port controller data address decrements from the data address written toward 0x00 for multibyte I/O operations if the MSB-first mode is active. The serial port controller address increments from the data address written toward 0x7F for multibyte I/O operations if the LSB-first mode is active.

Rev. 0 | Page 28 of 56 0 0 0 0 B6 7A 45 EA 1A AA 0 0 AD9125 CMOS INPUT DATA PORTS The AD9125 input data port consists of a data clock (DCI), data bus, and FRAME signal. The data port can be configured to operate in three modes: dual-word mode, word mode, and byte mode. In dual-word mode, I and Q data is received simultaneously on two 16-pin buses. One bus receives I datapath input words, and the other bus receives Q datapath input words. In word mode, one 16-pin bus is used to receive interleaved I and Q input words. In byte mode, an 8-pin bus is used to receive interleaved I and Q input bytes. The pin assignments of the bus in each mode is described in Table 12. WORD MODE In word mode, the DCI signal is supplied as a qualifying clock that is time aligned with the input data. The rising edge of the DCI signal should be aligned with the changing data of the interleaved I and Q input data stream. The FRAME signal indicates to which DAC the data is sent. When FRAME is high, data is sent to the I DAC. When FRAME is low, data is sent to the Q DAC. For 14- and 12-bit resolution devices, the two and four LSBs are not significant, respectively. The complete timing diagram is shown in Figure 43. DCI Table 12.

Timing Diagram for Word Mode BYTE MODE In byte and word modes, a FRAME signal is required for controlling which DAC receives the data. In dual-word mode, the FRAME signal is not required because each DAC has a dedicated bus. DUAL-WORD MODE In dual-word mode, the DCI signal is supplied as a qualifying clock that is time aligned with the input data. The rising edge of the DCI signal should be aligned with the changing data of each of the I and Q input data streams. In byte mode, the DCI signal is supplied as a qualifying clock that is time aligned with the input data. The rising edge of the DCI signal should be aligned with the changing data of the interleaved I and Q input data stream. The FRAME signal indicates to which DAC the data is sent. When FRAME is high, data is sent to the I DAC. When FRAME is low, data is sent to the Q DAC. Both bytes must be written to each datapath for proper operation. For 14- and 12-bit resolution devices, the LSBs in the second byte are not significant. The complete timing diagram is shown in Figure 44.

See the Interface Timing Validation section for details. INTERFACE TIMING The timing diagram for the digital interface port is shown in Figure 45. The sampling point of the data bus occurs on the falling edge of the DCI signal and has an uncertainty of 2.1 ns, as illustrated by the sampling interval shown in Figure 45. The D[31:0] and FRAME signals must be valid throughout this sampling interval. FIFO OPERATION The AD9125 contains a 2-channel, 16-bit wide, eight-word-deep FIFO designed to relax the timing relationship between the data arriving at the DAC input ports and the internal DAC data rate clock. The FIFO acts as a buffer that absorbs timing variations between the data source and DAC, such as the clock-to-data variation of an FPGA or ASIC, which significantly increases the timing budget of the interface. The setup (tS) and hold (tH) times with respect to the edges are shown in Figure 45. The minimum setup and hold times are shown in Table 13. Figure 47 shows the block diagram of the datapath through the FIFO. The data is latched into the device and is formatted, and then it is written into the FIFO register determined by the FIFO write pointer. The value of the write pointer is incremented every time a new word is loaded into the FIFO. Meanwhile, data is read from the FIFO register determined by the read pointer and fed into the digital datapath. The value of the read pointer is updated every time data is read into the datapath from the FIFO. This happens at the data rate, that is, the DACCLK rate divided by the interpolation ratio. DCI D[31:0] tH 09016-146 tS FRAME Figure 45. Timing Diagram for Input Data Ports Valid data is transmitted through the FIFO as long as the FIFO does not overflow or become empty. Note that an overflow or empty condition of the FIFO is the same as the write pointer and read pointer being equal. When both pointers are equal, an attempt is made to read and write a single FIFO register simultaneously. This simultaneous register access leads to unreliable data transfer through the FIFO and must be avoided. Table 13. Data Port Setup and Hold Times Minimum Setup Time, tS (ns) 0.86 Minimum Hold Time, tH (ns) 1.24 DCI Nominally, data is written to the FIFO at the same rate that data is read from the FIFO, which keeps the data level in the FIFO constant. If data is written to the FIFO faster than data is read, the data level in the FIFO increases. If data is written to the device slower than data is read, the data level in the FIFO decreases. For an optimum timing margin, the FIFO level should be maintained near half full, which is the same as maintaining a difference of four between the write pointer and read pointer values. tS-FRAME 09016-147 tH-FRAME FRAME Figure 46.

Block Diagram of Datapath Through FIFO Rev. 0 | Page 30 of 56 ÷ INT DACCLK 09016-018 REG 7 AD9125 The operation of the FRAME initiated FIFO reset depends on the synchronization mode chosen. When synchronization is disabled or when the device is configured for data rate mode synchronization, the FRAME strobe initiates a relative FIFO reset. When FIFO mode synchronization is chosen, the FRAME strobe initiates an absolute FIFO reset. More details on the synchronization function can be found in the Multichip Synchronization section. A summary of the synchronization modes and the type of FIFO reset employed is listed in Table 15. Table 15. Summary of FIFO Resets FIFO Reset Signal Serial Port FRAME Synchronization Mode Disabled Data Rate FIFO Rate Relative reset Relative reset Relative reset Relative reset Relative reset Absolute reset A serial port initiated FIFO reset can be issued in any mode and always results in a relative FIFO reset. To initialize the FIFO data level through the serial port, Bit 1 of Register 0x18 should be toggled from 0 to 1 and then back to 0. When the write to the register is complete, the FIFO data level is initialized. When the initialization is triggered, the next time the read pointer becomes 0, the write pointer is set to the value of the FIFO phase offset level (Register 0x17, Bits[2:0]) variable upon initialization. By default, this is 4, but it can be programmed to a value between 0 and 7. The recommended procedure for a serial port FIFO data level initialization is as follows: 3. 4. READ POINTER Request FIFO level reset by setting Register 0x18, Bit 1, to 1. Verify that the part acknowledges the request by ensuring that Register 0x18, Bit 2, is 1. Remove the request by setting Register 0x18, Bit 1, to 0. Verify that the part drops the acknowledge signal by ensuring that Register 0x18, Bit 2, is 0. FIFO Level Initialization via FRAME Signal The primary function of the FRAME input is indicating to which DAC the input data is written. Another function of the FRAME input is initializing the FIFO data level value. This is done by asserting the FRAME signal high for at least the time interval needed to load complete data to the I and Q DACs.

FRAME Input vs. Write Pointer Value, Data Rate Mode Write Pointer Initialization via FRAME Signal In FIFO rate synchronization mode, the REFCLK/SYNC signal is used to reset the FIFO read pointer to 0. The edge of the DAC clock used to sample the SYNC signal is selected by Bit 3 of Register 0x10. The FRAME signal is used to reset the FIFO write pointer. In the FIFO rate synchronization mode, the FIFO write pointer is reset immediately after the FRAME signal is asserted high for at least the time interval needed to load complete data to the I and Q DACs. The FIFO write pointer is initialized to the value of the FIFO phase offset[2:0] (Register 0x17). FIFO rate synchronization is selected by setting Bit 6 of Register 0x10 to 0. SYNC READ POINTER FIFO Level Initialization via Serial Port 1. 2. To initiate a relative FIFO reset with the FRAME signal, the device must be configured in data rate mode (Register 0x10, Bit 6). When FRAME is asserted in data rate mode, the write pointer is set to 4 (by default or to the FIFO start level) the next time the read pointer becomes 0 (see Figure 48). 09016-019 To avoid a concurrent read and write to the same FIFO address and to ensure a fixed pipeline delay, it is important to initialize the FIFO pointers to known states. The FIFO pointers can be initialized in two ways: via a write sequence to the serial port or by strobing the FRAME input. There are two types of FIFO pointer resets: a relative reset and an absolute reset. A relative reset enforces a defined FIFO depth. An absolute reset enforces a particular write pointer value when the reset is initiated. A serial port initiated FIFO reset is always a relative reset. A FRAME strobe initiated reset can be either a relative or an absolute reset. corresponds to one DCI period in dual-word mode, two DCI periods in word mode, and four DCI periods in byte mode.

FRAME Input vs. Write Pointer Value, FIFO Rate Mode Monitoring the FIFO Status The FIFO initialization and status can be read from Register 0x18. This register provides information on the FIFO initialization method and whether the initialization was successful. The MSB of Register 0x18 is a FIFO warning flag that can optionally trigger a device interrupt (IRQ). This flag is an indication that the FIFO is close to emptying (FIFO level is 1) or overflowing (FIFO level is 7). This is an indication that data may soon be corrupted and action should be taken. The FIFO data level can be read from Register 0x19 at any time. The FIFO data level reported by the serial port is denoted as a 7-bit thermometer code of the write counter state relative to the absolute read counter being at 0. The optimum FIFO data level of 4 is, therefore, reported as a value of 00001111 in the status register. It should be noted that, depending on the timing relationship between DCI and the main DACCLK, the FIFO level value can be off by ±1 count. Therefore, it is important to keep the difference between the read and write pointers to at least 2. Rev. 0 | Page 31 of 56 AD9125 DIGITAL DATAPATH The block diagram in Figure 50 shows the functionality of the digital datapath. The digital processing includes a premodulation block, three half-band interpolation filters, a quadrature modulator with a fine resolution NCO, a phase and offset adjustment block, and an inverse sinc filter. Half-Band Filter 1 (HB1) HB1 has four modes of operation, as shown in Figure 51. The shape of the filter response is identical in each of the four modes. The four modes are distinguished by two factors: the filter center frequency and whether the input signal is modulated by the filter.

HB1 Filter Modes The half-band interpolation filters have selectable pass bands that allow the center frequencies to be moved in increments of ½ of their input data rate. The premodulation block provides a digital upconversion of the incoming waveform by ½ of the incoming data rate, fDATA. This can be used to frequency-shift baseband input data to the center of the interpolation filters’ pass band. INTERPOLATION FILTERS The transmit path contains three interpolation filters. Each of the three interpolation filters provides a 2× increase in output data rate. The half-band (HB) filters can be individually bypassed or cascaded to provide 1×, 2×, 4×, or 8× interpolation ratios. Each of the half-band filter stages offers a different combination of bandwidths and operating modes. The bandwidth of the three half-band filters with respect to the data rate at the filter input is as follows: • • • 0.4 09016-021 The digital datapath accepts I and Q data streams and processes them as a quadrature data stream. The signal processing blocks can be used when the input data stream is represented as complex data. GAIN (dB) Figure 50. Block Diagram of Digital Datapath As shown in Figure 51, the center frequency in each mode is offset by ½ the input data rate (fIN1) of the filter. Mode 0 and Mode 1 do not modulate the input signal. Mode 2 and Mode 3 modulate the input signal by fIN1. When HB1 operates in Mode 0 and Mode 2, the I and Q paths operate independently and no mixing of the data between channels occurs. When HB1 operates in Mode 1 and Mode 3, mixing of the data between the I and Q paths occurs; therefore, the data input into the filter is assumed complex. Table 16 summarizes the HB1 modes. Table 16. HB1 Filter Mode Summary Mode 0 1 2 3 Bandwidth of HB1 = 0.8 × fIN1 Bandwidth of HB2 = 0.5 × fIN2 Bandwidth of HB3 = 0.4 × fIN3 The usable bandwidth is defined as the frequency over which the filters have a pass-band ripple of less than ±0.001 dB and an image rejection of greater than +85 dB. As is discussed in the Half-Band Filter 1 (HB1) section, the image rejection usually sets the usable bandwidth of the filter, not the pass-band flatness. The half-band filters operate in several modes, providing programmable pass-band center frequencies as well as signal modulation. The HB1 filter has four modes of operation, and the HB2 and HB3 filters each have eight modes of operation.

When HB2 operates in Mode 0 and Mode 4, the I and Q paths operate independently and no mixing of the data between channels occurs.

A block diagram of the digital modulator is shown in Figure 57. The fine modulation provided by the digital modulator, in conjunction with the coarse modulation of the interpolation filters and premodulation block, allows the signal to be placed anywhere in the output spectrum with very fine frequency resolution. Configuring the AD9125 datapath starts with the application requirements of the input data rate, the interpolation ratio, the output signal bandwidth, and the output signal center frequency. Given these four parameters, the first step in configuring the datapath is to verify that the device supports the bandwidth requirements. The modes of the interpolation filters are then chosen. Finally, any additional frequency offset requirements are determined and applied with premodulation and NCO modulation. Determining Datapath Signal Bandwidth I DATA INTERPOLATION The available signal bandwidth of the datapath is dependent on the center frequency of the output signal in relation to the center frequency of the interpolation filters used. Signal center frequencies that are offset from the center frequencies of the half-band filters lower the available signal bandwidth. COSINE FTW[31:0] NCO NCO PHASE OFFSET [15:0] I OUTPUT SINE Q OUTPUT – + –1 Q DATA 0 1 INTERPOLATION 09016-027 SPECTRAL INVERSION When correctly configured, the available complex signal bandwidth for 2× interpolation is always 80% of the input data rate. The available signal bandwidth for 4× interpolation vs. output frequency varies between 50% and 80% of the input data rate, as shown in Figure 58. Note that in 4× interpolation mode, fDAC = 4 × fDATA; therefore, the data shown in Figure 58 repeats four times from dc to fDAC. Figure 57. Digital Quadrature Modulator Block Diagram HB1 AND HB2 0.8 The NCO operating frequency, fNCO, is at either fDATA (HB1 bypassed) or twice fDATA (HB1 enabled). The frequency of the complex carrier signal can be set from dc up to fNCO.

The NCO produces a quadrature carrier signal to translate the input signal to a new center frequency. A complex carrier signal is a pair of sinusoidal waveforms of the same frequency, offset 90° from each other. The frequency of the complex carrier signal is set via FTW[31:0] in Register 0x30 through Register 0x33. Figure 58. Signal Bandwidth vs. Center Frequency of the Output Signal, 4× Interpolation f FTW = CARRIER × 2 32 f NCO The generated quadrature carrier signal is mixed with the I and Q data. The quadrature products are then summed into the I and Q datapaths, as shown in Figure 57. Updating the Frequency Tuning Word The frequency tuning word registers do not update immediately upon writing as other configuration registers. After loading the FTW registers with the desired values, Bit 0 of Register 0x36 must transition from 0 to 1 for the new FTW to take effect. Configuring 4× interpolation using the HB2 and HB3 filters can lower the power consumption of the device at the expense of reduced bandwidth. The lower curve in Figure 58 shows that the supported bandwidth in this mode varies from 30% to 50% of fDATA. The available signal bandwidth for 8× interpolation vs. output frequency varies between 50% and 80% of the input data rate, as shown in Figure 59. Note that in 8× interpolation mode, fDAC = 8 × fDATA; therefore, the data shown in Figure 59 repeats eight times from dc to fDAC.

In addition, see the 8× Interpolation Without NCO section. 3 This configuration was used in the 4× interpolation with NCO example. In addition, see the 4× Interpolation with NCO section Rev. 0 | Page 36 of 56 AD9125 DATAPATH CONFIGURATION EXAMPLE 4× Interpolation with NCO 8× Interpolation Without NCO Given the following conditions, the desired 140 MHz of bandwidth is 56% of fDATA: Given the following conditions, the desired 75 MHz of bandwidth is 75% of fDATA: • • • • fDATA = 100 MSPS 8× interpolation fBW = 75 MHz fCENTER = 100 MHz fDATA = 250 MSPS 4× interpolation fBW = 140 MHz fCENTER = 175 MHz As shown in Figure 58, the value at 0.7 × fDATA is 0.6. This is calculated as 0.8 − 2(0.7 − 0.6) = 0.6. Therefore, the AD9125 supports a bandwidth of 60% of fDATA, which exceeds the required 56%. In this case, the ratio of fOUT/fDATA = 100/100 = 1.0. From Figure 59, the bandwidth supported at fDATA is 0.8, which verifies that the AD9125 supports the bandwidth required in this configuration. The signal center frequency is 0.7 × fDATA, and assuming the input signal is at baseband, the frequency shift required is also 0.7 × fDATA. Using the settings detailed in the second row in the IF column in the 4× interpolation section in Table 21 selects the filter modes that give a center frequency of fDATA/2 and no frequency translation. The selected modes for the three halfband filters are HB1, Mode 1; HB2, Mode 1; and HB3, bypassed. The signal center frequency is fDATA, and assuming the input signal is at baseband, the frequency shift required is also fDATA. Using the settings detailed in the third row of the IF column from Table 21 (these settings use the configuration in the 8× interpolation without NCO example) selects filter modes that result in a center frequency of fDATA and a frequency translation of fDATA. The selected modes for the three half-band filters are HB1, Mode 2; HB2, Mode 2; and HB3, Mode 1. Figure 60 shows how the signal propagates through the interpolation filters. Because Mode 1 of HB1 was selected, the premodulation block should be enabled. This provides fDATA/2 modulation, which centers the baseband input data at the center frequency of HB1. The digital modulator can be used to provide the final frequency translation of 0.2 × fDATA to place the output signal at 0.7 × fDATA, as desired. Because 2 × fIN1 = fIN2 and 2 × fIN2 = fIN3, the signal appears frequency scaled by ½ into each consecutive stage. The output signal band spans 0.15 to 0.35 of fIN3 (400 MHz). Therefore, the output frequency supported is 60 MHz to 140 MHz, which covers the 75 MHz bandwidth centered at 100 MHz, as desired. The formula for calculating the FTW of the NCO is f CARRIER × 2 32 f NCO FTW = where: fCARRIER = 0.2 × fDATA. fNCO = 2 × fDATA.

Signal Propagation for 8× Interpolation (fDATA Modulation) Rev. 0 | Page 37 of 56 AD9125 DATA RATES VS. INTERPOLATION MODES Table 23 summarizes the maximum bus speed (fBUS), the supported input data rates, and the signal bandwidths for various combinations of bus width modes and interpolation rates. The maximum bus speed in any mode is 250 MHz. The maximum DAC update rate (fDAC) in any mode is 1000 MHz. The real signal bandwidth supported is a fraction of the input data rate, which depends on the interpolation filter (HB1, HB2, or HB3) selected. The complex signal bandwidth supported is twice the real signal bandwidth. In general, 2× interpolation is best supported by enabling HB1, and 4× interpolation is best supported enabling HB1 and HB2. In some cases, power dissipation can be lowered by avoiding HB1. If the bandwidth required is low enough, 2× interpolation can be supported by using HB2, and 4× interpolation can be supported by using HB2 and HB3. COARSE MODULATION MIXING SEQUENCES The coarse digital quadrature modulation occurs within the interpolation filters. The modulation shifts the frequency spectrum of the incoming data by the frequency offset selected. The frequency offsets available are multiples of the input data rate. The modulation is equivalent to multiplying the quadrature input signal by a complex carrier signal, C(t), of the form In practice, this modulation results in mixing functions as shown in Table 22. Table 22. Modulation Mixing Sequences Modulation fS/2 fS/4 3 × fS/4 fS/8 Note that r = Mixing Sequence I = I, −I, I, −I, … Q = Q, −Q, Q, −Q, … I = I, Q, −I, −Q, … Q = Q, −I, −Q, I, … I = I, −Q, −I, Q, … Q = Q, I, −Q, −I, … I = I, r(I + Q), Q, r(−I + Q), −I, −r(I + Q), −Q, r(I − Q), … Q = Q, r(Q − I), −I, −r(Q + I), −Q, r(−Q + I),I, r(Q + I), … 2 2 As shown in Table 22, the mixing functions of most of the modes result in cross coupling samples between the I and Q channels. The I and Q channels only operate independently in fS/2 mode. This means that real modulation using both the I and Q DAC outputs can only be done in fS/2 mode. All other modulation modes require complex input data and produce complex output signals. C(t) = cos(ωct) + j sin(ωct) Table 23.

The quadrature phase adjustment is used to change the angle between the I and Q channels.

Rev. 0 | Page 39 of 56 AD9125 DAC INPUT CLOCK CONFIGURATIONS DAC INPUT CLOCK CONFIGURATIONS The AD9125 DAC sample clock (DACCLK) can be sourced directly or by clock multiplying. Clock multiplying employs the on-chip phased-locked loop (PLL) that accepts a reference clock operating at a submultiple of the desired DACCLK rate, most commonly the data input frequency. The PLL then multiplies the reference clock up to the desired DACCLK frequency, which can be used to generate all the internal clocks required by the DAC. The clock multiplier provides a high quality clock that meets the performance requirements of most applications. Using the on-chip clock multiplier removes the burden of generating and distributing the high speed DACCLK. The second mode bypasses the clock multiplier circuitry and allows DACCLK to be sourced directly to the DAC core. This mode enables the user to source a very high quality clock directly to the DAC core. Sourcing the DACCLK directly through the REFCLKP, REFCLKN, DACCLKP, and DACCLKN pins may be necessary in demanding applications that require the lowest possible DAC output noise, particularly when directly synthesizing signals above 150 MHz. The minimum input drive level to either clock input is 200 mV p-p differential. The optimal performance is achieved when the clock input signal is between 800 mV p-p differential and 1.6 V p-p differential. Whether using the on-chip clock multiplier or sourcing the DACCLK directly, it is necessary that the input clock signal to the device has low jitter and fast edge rates to optimize the DAC noise performance. Direct Clocking Direct clocking with a low noise clock produces the lowest noise spectral density at the DAC outputs. To select the differential clock inputs as the source for the DAC sampling clock, set the PLL enable bit (Register 0x0A, Bit 7) to 0. This powers down the internal PLL clock multiplier and selects the input from the DACCLKP and DACCLKN pins as the source for the internal DAC sample clock. The device also has duty-cycle correction circuitry and differential input-level correction circuitry. Enabling these circuits can provide improved performance in some cases. The control bits for these functions can be found in Register 0x08 (see Table 11). Clock Multiplication Driving the DACCLK and REFCLK Inputs The REFCLK and DACCLK differential inputs share similar clock receiver input circuitry. Figure 63 shows a simplified circuit diagram of the input. The on-chip clock receiver has a differential input impedance of about 10 kΩ. It is self-biased to a commonmode voltage of about 1.25 V. The inputs can be driven by directly coupling differential PECL or LVDS drivers. The inputs can also be ac-coupled if the driving source cannot meet the input compliance voltage of the receiver. The on-chip PLL clock multiplier circuit can be used to generate the DAC sample rate clock from a lower frequency reference clock. When the PLL enable bit (Register 0x0A, Bit 7) is set to 1, the clock multiplication circuit generates the DAC sample clock from the lower rate REFCLK input. The functional diagram of the clock multiplier is shown in Figure 64. The clock multiplication circuit operates such that the VCO outputs a frequency, fVCO, equal to the REFCLK input signal frequency multiplied by N1 × N0. DACCLKP, REFCLKP fVCO = fREFCLK × (N1 × N0) The DAC sample clock frequency, fDACCLK, is equal to 5kΩ fDACCLK = fREFCLK × N1 1.25V The output frequency of the VCO must be chosen to keep fVCO in the optimal operating range of 1.0 GHz to 2.1 GHz. The frequency of the reference clock and the values of N1 and N0 must be chosen so that the desired DACCLK frequency can be synthesized and the VCO output frequency is in the correct range. 09016-033 DACCLKN, REFCLKN Figure 63.

Table 24 lists the recommended PLL settings for these parameters. The device also has a manual band select mode (PLL manual enable, Register 0x0A, Bit 6 = 1) that allows the user to select the VCO tuning band. When in manual mode, the VCO band is set directly with the value written to the manual VCO band, (Register 0x0A, Bits[5:0]). To properly select the VCO band, follow these steps: Table 24.

Configuring the VCO Tuning Band The PLL VCO has a valid operating range from approximately 1.0 GHz to 2.1 GHz, covered in 63 overlapping frequency bands. For any desired VCO output frequency, there may be several valid PLL band select values. The frequency bands of a typical device are shown in Figure 65. Device-to-device variations and operating temperature affect the actual band frequency range. Therefore, it is required that the optimal PLL band select value be determined for each individual device. 4. 5. Automatic VCO Band Select The device has an automatic VCO band select feature on chip. Using the automatic VCO band select feature is a simple and reliable method of configuring the VCO frequency band. This feature is enabled by writing 0x80 to Register 0x0A. When this value is written, the device executes an automated routine that determines the optimal VCO band setting for the device. The setting selected by the device ensures that the PLL remains locked over the full −40°C to +85°C operating temperature range of the device without further adjustment. (The PLL remains locked over the full temperature range even if the temperature during initialization is at one of the temperature extremes.) 0 4 8 12 16 24 28 32 Table 25.

Sweep the VCO band over a range of bands that result in the PLL being locked. For each band, verify that the PLL is locked and read the PLL using the VCO control voltage (Register 0x0E, Bits[3:0]). Select the band that results in the control voltage being closest to the center of the range, that is, 0000 or 1000 (see Table 25 for more details). The resulting VCO band should be the optimal setting for the device. Write this band to the manual VCO band (Register 0x0A, Bits[5:0]) value. If desired, an indication of where the VCO is within the operating frequency band can be determined by querying the VCO control voltage. Table 25 shows how to interpret the PLL VCO control voltage (Register 0x0E, Bits[3:0]) value. Figure 65.

The DAC core consists of a current source array, a switch core, a digital control logic, and a full-scale output current control. The DAC full-scale output current (IOUTFS) is nominally 20 mA. The output currents from the IOUT1P/IOUT2P and IOUT1N/ IOUT2N pins are complementary, meaning that the sum of the two currents always equals the full-scale current of the DAC. The digital input code to the DAC determines the effective differential current delivered to the load.

Simplified Block Diagram of DAC Core The DAC has a 1.2 V band gap reference with an output impedance of 5 kΩ. The reference output voltage appears on the REFIO pin. When using the internal reference, the REFIO pin should be decoupled to AVSS with a 0.1 μF capacitor. Only use the internal reference for external circuits that draw dc currents of 2 μA or less. For dynamic loads or static loads greater than 2 μA, buffer the REFIO pin. If desired, an external reference (between 1.10 V and 1.30 V) can be applied to the REFIO pin. The internal reference can either be overdriven or powered down by setting Register 0x43, Bit 5. A 10 kΩ external resistor, RSET, must be connected from the FSADJ pin to AVSS. This resistor, along with the reference control amplifier, sets up the correct internal bias currents for the DAC. Because the full-scale current is inversely proportional to this resistor, the tolerance of RSET is reflected in the full-scale output amplitude. The full-scale current equation, where the DAC gain is set individually for the I and Q DACs in Register 0x40 and Register 0x44, respectively, follows: 200 400 600 800 DAC GAIN CODE 1000 09016-036 5 Q DAC VREF ⎛ 3 ⎞ × ⎜ 72 + ⎛⎜ × DAC gain ⎞⎟ ⎟ R SET ⎝ ⎠⎠ ⎝ 16 20 10 IOUT1N 10kΩ I FS = 25 I DAC 5kΩ FSADJ 30 IOUT1P REFIO 0.1µF 35 09016-037 1.2V For nominal values of VREF (1.2 V), RSET (10 kΩ), and DAC gain (512), the full-scale current of the DAC is typically 20.16 mA. The DAC full-scale current can be adjusted from 8.66 mA to 31.66 mA by setting the DAC gain code, as shown in Figure 67. IFS (mA) TRANSMIT DAC OPERATION Figure 67. DAC Full-Scale Current vs. DAC Gain Code Transmit DAC Transfer Function The output currents from the IOUT1P/IOUT2P and IOUT1N/ IOUT2N pins are complementary, meaning that the sum of the two currents always equals the full-scale current of the DAC. The digital input code to the DAC determines the effective differential current delivered to the load. IOUT1P/IOUT2P provide maximum output current when all bits are high. The output currents vs. DACCODE for the DAC outputs are expressed as DACCODE ⎤ I OUTP = ⎡⎢ ⎥⎦ × I OUTFS 2N ⎣ (1) I OUTN = I OUTFS − I OUTP (2) where DACCODE = 0 to 2N − 1. Transmit DAC Output Configurations The optimum noise and distortion performance of the AD9125 is realized when it is configured for differential operation. The common-mode error sources of the DAC outputs are significantly reduced by the common-mode rejection of a transformer or differential amplifier. These common-mode error sources include even-order distortion products and noise. The enhancement in distortion performance becomes more significant as the frequency content of the reconstructed waveform increases and/or its amplitude increases. This is due to the first-order cancellation of various dynamic common-mode distortion mechanisms, digital feedthrough, and noise.

Transmit DAC Linear Output Signal Swing The AD9125 has two auxiliary DACs; one is associated with the I path, and the other is associated with the Q path. These auxiliary DACs can be used to compensate for dc offsets in the transmitted signal. Each auxiliary DAC has a single-ended current that can sink or source current into either the P or N output of the associated transmit DAC. The auxiliary DAC structure is shown in Figure 72. To achieve optimum performance, the DAC outputs have a linear output compliance voltage range that must be adhered to. The linear output signal swing is dependent on the full-scale output current, IOUTFS, and the common-mode level of the output. Figure 70 and Figure 71 show the IMD performance vs. the common-mode output voltage at various full-scale currents and output frequencies.

Rev. 0 | Page 43 of 56 AD9125 Interfacing to Modulators DRIVING THE ADL5375-15 The AD9125 interfaces to the ADL537x family of modulators with a minimal number of components. An example of the recommended interface circuitry is shown in Figure 73. The ADL5375-15 is the version of the ADL5375 that offers an input baseband bias levels of 1500 mV. Because the ADL5375-15 requires a 1500 mV dc bias, it requires a slightly more complex interface than most other Analog Devices, Inc., modulators. The DAC output must be level-shifted from a 500 mV dc bias to the 1500 mV dc bias. Level-shifting can be achieved with a purely passive network, as shown in Figure 74. In this network, the dc bias of the DAC remains at 500 mV while the input to the ADL5375-15 is 1500 mV. This passive level-shifting network introduces approximately 2 dB of loss in the ac signal.

The LO feedthrough can be nulled by applying the correct dc offset voltages at the DAC output. This can be done using the auxiliary DACs (Register 0x42, Register 0x43, Register 0x46, and Register 0x47) or by using the digital dc offset adjustments (Register 0x3C through Register 0x3F). Figure 73. Typical Interface Circuitry Between the AD9125 and the ADL537x Family of Modulators BASEBAND FILTER IMPLEMENTATION Most applications require a baseband anti-imaging filter between the DAC and the modulator to filter out Nyquist images and broadband DAC noise. The filter can be inserted between the I-V resistors at the DAC output and the signal-level setting resistor across the modulator input. This configuration establishes the input and output impedances for the filter. The advantage of using the auxiliary DACs is that none of the main DAC dynamic range is used to perform the dc offset adjustment. However, the disadvantage is that the commonmode level of the output signal changes as a function of the auxiliary DAC current. The opposite is true when the digital offset adjustment is used. Figure 75 shows a fifth-order low-pass filter. A common-mode choke is used between the I-V resistors and the remainder of the filter. This removes the common-mode signal produced by the DAC and prevents the common-mode signal from being converted to a differential signal, which can appear as unwanted spurious signals in the output spectrum. Splitting the first filter capacitor into two and grounding the center point creates a common-mode low-pass filter, providing additional commonmode rejection of high frequency signals. A purely differential filter can pass common-mode signals. 22pF 50Ω AD9125 Good sideband suppression requires both gain and phase matching of the I and Q signals. The I phase adjust (Register 0x38 and Register 0x39), Q phase adjust (Register 0x3A and Register 0x3B), I DAC FS adjust (Register 0x40 and Register 0x41), and Q DAC FS adjust (Register 0x44 and Register 0x45) registers can be used to calibrate I and Q transmit paths to optimize the sideband suppression. 33nH 56nH 33nH 56nH 2pF 50Ω 3pF 6pF 22pF 140Ω ADL537x 3pF Figure 75.

The nominal midscale output current on each output of the DAC is 10 mA (½ the full-scale current). Therefore, a single 50 Ω resistor to ground from each DAC output results in the desired 500 mV dc common-mode bias for the inputs to the ADL537x. The signal level can be reduced through the addition of the load resistor in parallel with the modulator inputs. The peak-to-peak voltage swing of the transmitted signal is AD9125 DEVICE POWER DISSIPATION The AD9125 has four supply rails: AVDD33, IOVDD, DVDD18, and CVDD18. 1800 The AVDD33 supply powers the DAC core circuitry. The power dissipation of the AVDD33 supply rail is independent of the digital operating mode and sample rate. The current drawn from the AVDD33 supply rail is typically 57 mA (188 mW) when the full-scale current of the I and Q DACs is set to the nominal value of 20 mA. Changing the full-scale current directly impacts the supply current drawn from the AVDD33 rail. For example, if the full-scale current of the I DAC and the Q DAC is changed to 10 mA, the AVDD33 supply current drops by 20 mA to 37 mA. 1400 8× POWER (mW) 1200 Figure 76 through Figure 80 detail the power dissipation of the AD9125 under a variety of operating conditions.

Devices are considered synchronized to a system clock when there is a constant, known relationship among the clock generation state machine, the data being read from the FIFO, and a particular clock edge of the system clock. The AD9125 has provisions for enabling multiple devices to be synchronized to each other or to a system clock. The AD9125 supports synchronization in two modes: data rate mode and FIFO rate mode. Each of these modes has a different lowest rate clock that the synchronization logic attempts to synchronize to. In data rate mode, the input data rate represents the lowest synchronized clock. In FIFO rate mode, the FIFO rate, which is the data rate divided by the FIFO depth of 8, represents the lowest rate clock. The advantage of FIFO rate synchronization is increased time between keep-out windows for DCI changes relative to the DACCLK or REFCLK input. MATCHED LENGTH TRACES REFCLKP/ REFCLKN FRAME DCI SYSTEM CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION WITH CLOCK MULTIPLICATION When using the clock multiplier to generate the DAC sample rate clock, the REFCLK input signal acts both as the reference clock for the PLL-based clock multiplier and as the synchronization signal. To synchronize devices, distribute the REFCLK signal with low skew to all of the devices that need to be synchronized. Skew between the REFCLK signals of the devices shows up directly as a timing mismatch at the DAC outputs. The frequency of the REFCLK signal is typically equal to the input data rate. The FRAME and DCI signals, along with the data, can be created in the FPGA. A circuit diagram of a typical configuration is shown in Figure 81. LOW SKEW CLOCK DRIVER REFCLKP/ REFCLKN FRAME FPGA IOUT2P/ IOUT2N DCI Figure 81. Typical Circuit Diagram for Synchronizing Devices The Procedure for Synchronization when Using the PLL section outlines the steps required to synchronize multiple devices. The procedure assumes that the REFCLK signal is applied to all devices and that the PLL of each device is phase locked to this signal. This procedure must be carried out on each individual device. Procedure for Synchronization when Using the PLL To synchronize all devices, 1. 2. When in data rate mode, the elasticity of the FIFO is not used to absorb timing variations between the data source and the DAC, resulting in keep-out widows repeating at the input data rate. The method chosen for providing the DAC sampling clock directly impacts the synchronization methods available. When the device clock multiplier is used, only data rate mode is available. When the DAC sampling clock is sourced directly, both data rate mode and FIFO rate mode synchronization are available. This section details the synchronization methods for enabling both clocking modes and for querying the status of the synchronization logic. IOUT1P/ IOUT1N 09016-049 System demands may require that the outputs of multiple DACs be synchronized with each other or with a system clock. Systems that support transmit diversity or beam forming, where multiple antennas are used to transmit a correlated signal, require multiple DAC outputs to be phase aligned with each other. Systems with a time division multiplexing transmit chain may require one or more DACs to be synchronized with a system-level reference clock. 3. Configure the device for data rate mode and periodic synchronization by writing 0xC0 to the Sync Control 1 register (Register 0x10). Additional synchronization options are available. Read the Sync Status 1 register (Register 0x12) and verify that the sync locked bit (Bit 6) is set high, indicating that the device achieved back-end synchronization and that the sync lost bit (Bit 7) is low. These levels indicate that the clocks are running with a constant, known phase relative to the sync signal. Reset the FIFO by strobing the FRAME signal high for the time required to write two complete input data-words. Resetting the FIFO ensures that the correct data is being read from the FIFO. To maintain synchronization, the skew between the REFCLK signals of the devices must be less than tSKEW. There are also setup and hold times to be observed among the DCI, the data of each device, and the REFCLK signal. When resetting the FIFO, the FRAME signal must be held high for the time interval required to write two complete input data-words. A timing diagram of the input signals is shown in Figure 82. This example shows a REFCLK frequency equal to the data rate. Although this is the most common situation, it is not strictly required for proper synchronization. Any REFCLK frequency that satisfies the following equation is acceptable: fSYNC_I = fDACCLK/2N and fSYNC_I ≤ fDATA where N = 0, 1, 2, or 3. As an example, a configuration with 4× interpolation and clock frequencies of fVCO = 1600 MHz, fDACCLK = 800 MHz, fDATA = 200 MHz, and fSYNC_I = 100 MHz is a viable solution.

Typical Circuit Diagram for Synchronizing Devices to a System Clock Rev. 0 | Page 48 of 56 AD9125 SYNCHRONIZATION WITH DIRECT CLOCKING When directly sourcing the DAC sample rate clock, a separate REFCLK input signal is required for synchronization. To synchronize devices, the DACCLK signal and the REFCLK signal must be distributed with low skew to all of the devices being synchronized. If the devices need to be synchronized to a master clock, then use the master clock directly for generating the REFCLK input (see Figure 83). DATA RATE MODE SYNCHRONIZATION The Procedure for Data Rate Synchronization when Directly Sourcing the DAC Sampling Clock section outlines the steps required to synchronize multiple devices in data rate mode. The procedure assumes that the DACCLK and REFCLK signals are applied to all of the devices. The procedure must be carried out on each individual device. Procedure for Data Rate Synchronization When Directly Sourcing the DAC Sampling Clock To synchronize all devices, 2. 3. Configure the device for data rate mode and periodic synchronization by writing 0xC0 to the Sync Control 1 register (Register 0x10). Additional synchronization options are available and are described in the Additional Synchronization Features section. Poll the sync locked bit (Register 0x12, Bit 6) to verify that the device is back-end synchronized. A high level on this bit indicates that the clocks are running with a constant, known phase relative to the sync signal. Reset the FIFO by strobing the FRAME signal high for the time required to write two complete input data-words. Resetting the FIFO ensures that the correct data is being read from the FIFO of each of the devices simultaneously. Figure 84 shows the synchronization signal timing with 2× interpolation; therefore, fDCI = ½ × fCLK. The REFCLK input is shown to be equal to the data rate. The maximum frequency at which the device can be resynchronized in data rate mode can be expressed as fSYNC_I = fDATA/2N where N is any nonnegative integer. Generally, for values of N equal to or greater than 3, select the FIFO rate synchronization mode. Table 26.

FIFO Rate Synchronization Signal Timing Requirements, 2× Interpolation Rev. 0 | Page 50 of 56 AD9125 ADDITIONAL SYNCHRONIZATION FEATURES The synchronization logic incorporates additional features that provide means for querying the status of the synchronization, improving the robustness of the synchronization, and enabling a one-shot synchronization mode. These features are detailed in the Sync Status Bits and Timing Optimization sections. Sync Status Bits When the sync locked bit (Register 0x12, Bit 6) is set, it indicates that the synchronization logic has reached alignment. This alignment is determined when the clock generation state machine phase is constant. It takes between (11 + averaging) × 64 and (11 + averaging) × 128 DACCLK cycles. This bit can optionally trigger an IRQ, as described in the Interrupt Request Operation section. When the sync lost bit (Register 0x12, Bit 7) is set, it indicates a previously synchronized device has lost alignment. This bit is latched and remains set until cleared by overwriting the register. This bit can optionally trigger an IRQ, as described in the Interrupt Request Operation section. The sync phase readback bits (Register 0x13, Bits[7:0]) report the current clock phase in a 6.2 format. Bits[7:2] report which of the 64 states (0 to 63) the clock is currently in. When averaging is enabled, Bits[1:0] provide ¼ state accuracy (for 0, ¼, ½, ¾). The lower two bits give an indication of the timing margin issues that may exist. If the sync sampling is error free, the fractional clock state should be 00. Timing Optimization The synchronization logic resynchronizes when a phase change between the REFCLK signal and the state of the clock generation state machine exceeds a threshold. To mitigate the effects of jitter and prevent erroneous resynchronizations, the relative phase can be averaged. The amount of averaging is set by the sync averaging bits (Register 0x10, Bits[2:0]) and can be set from 1 to 128. The higher the number of averages, the more slowly the device recognizes and resynchronizes to a legitimate phase correction. Generally, the averaging should be made as large as possible while still meeting the allotted resynchronization time interval. The value of the sync phase request bits (Register 0x11, Bits[5:0]) is the state to which the clock generation state machine resets upon initialization. By varying this value, the timing of the internal clocks with respect to the REFCLK signal can be adjusted. Every increment in the value of the sync phase request bits (Register 0x11, Bits[5:0]) advances the internal clocks by one DACCLK period. This offset can be used for two purposes: to skew the outputs of two synchronized DAC outputs in increments of the DACCLK period and to change the relative timing between the DCI input and REFCLK. This may allow for more optimal placement of the DCI sampling point in data rate synchronization mode. Table 27. Synchronization Setup and Hold Times Parameter tSKEW tSV_SYNC TH_SYNC The REFCLK signal is sampled by a version of the DACCLK. If sampling errors are being detected, the opposite sampling edge can be selected to improve the sampling point. The sampling edge can be selected by setting Register 0x10, Bit 3 (1 = rising and 0 = falling).

Upon assertion of the interrupt, the device should be queried to determine the precise event that occurred. The IRQ pin is an open-drain, active low output. Pull the IRQ pin high external to the device. This pin can be tied to the interrupt pins of other devices with open-drain outputs to wire-OR these pins together. also asserts the external IRQ. When an interrupt enable bit is set low, the event flag bit reflects the current status of the EVENT_ FLAG_SOURCE signal, but the event flag has no effect on the external IRQ. Sixteen event flags provide visibility into the device. These 16 flags are located in the two event flag registers (Register 0x06 and Register 0x07). The behavior of each of the event flags is independently selected in the interrupt enable registers (Register 0x04 and Register 0x05). When the flag interrupt enable is active, the event flag latches and triggers an external interrupt. When the flag interrupt is disabled, the event flag simply monitors the source signal and the external IRQ remains inactive. INTERRUPT SERVICE ROUTINE The latched version of an event flag (the INTERRUPT_SOURCE signal) can be cleared in two ways. The recommended way is by writing 1 to the corresponding event flag bit; however, a hardware or software reset can also clear the INTERRUPT_SOURCE. The interrupt request management starts by selecting the set of event flags that require host intervention or monitoring. Those events that require host action should be enabled so that the host is notified when they occur. For events requiring host intervention, upon IRQ activation, run the following routine to clear an interrupt request: 1. 2. Figure 86 shows the IRQ-related circuitry. This diagram shows how event flag signals propagate to the IRQ output. The INTERRUPT_ ENABLE signal represents one bit from the interrupt enable registers. The EVENT_FLAG_SOURCE signal represents one bit from the event flag registers. The EVENT_FLAG_SOURCE signal represents one of the device signals that can be monitored, such as the PLL_LOCKED signal from the PLL phase detector or the FIFO_WARNING_1 signal from the FIFO controller. 3. 4. 5. 6. When an interrupt enable bit is set high, the corresponding event flag bit reflects a positively tripped signal (that is, latched on the rising edge of the EVENT_FLAG_SOURCE signal). This signal Read the status of the event flag bits that are being monitored. Set the interrupt enable bit low so that the unlatched EVENT_ FLAG_SOURCE signal can be monitored directly. Perform any actions that are required to clear the EVENT_ SOURCE_FLAG signal. In many cases, no specific actions are required. Read the event flag to verify that the EVENT_FLAG_ SOURCE signal has been cleared. Clear the interrupt by writing 1 to the event flag bit. Set the interrupt enable bits of the events to be monitored. Note that some of the EVENT_FLAG_SOURCE signals are latched signals. These are cleared by writing to the corresponding event flag bit. Details of each of the event flags can be found in Table 11. 0 1 EVENT_FLAG IRQ INTERRUPT_ENABLE EVENT_FLAG_SOURCE INTERRUPT SOURCE OTHER INTERRUPT SOURCES 09016-054 WRITE_1_TO_EVENT_FLAG DEVICE_RESET Figure 86. Simplified Schematic of IRQ Circuitry Rev. 0 | Page 52 of 56 AD9125 INTERFACE TIMING VALIDATION The AD9125 provides on-chip sample error detection (SED) circuitry that simplifies verification of the input data interface. The SED compares the input data samples captured at the digital input pins with a set of comparison values, which are loaded into registers through the SPI port. Differences between these values are detected and stored. Options are available for customizing SED test sequencing and error handling. changes the behavior of Register 0x70 through Register 0x73. The compare pass bit is set if the last comparison indicated that the sample was error free. The compare fail bit is set if an error is detected. The compare fail bit is automatically cleared by the reception of eight consecutive error-free comparisons. When autoclear mode is enabled, Register 0x70 through Register 0x73 accumulate errors as previously described but reset to all 0s after eight consecutive error-free sample comparisons are made. SED OPERATION The SED circuitry operates on a data set made up of four 16-bit input words, denoted as I0, Q0, I1, and Q1. To properly align the input samples, the first I and Q data-words (that is, I0 and Q0) are indicated by asserting the FRAME signal for a minimum of two complete input samples. The sample error, compare pass, and compare fail flags can be configured to trigger an IRQ when active, if desired. This is done by enabling the appropriate bits in the Event Flag 2 register (Register 0x07). Table 28 shows a progression of the input sample comparison results and the corresponding states of the error flags. Figure 87 shows the input timing of the interface in dual-word mode. The FRAME signal can be issued once at the start of the data transmission, or it can be asserted repeatedly at intervals coinciding with the I0 and Q0 data-words. SED EXAMPLE Normal Operation The following example illustrates the SED configuration for continuously monitoring the input data and assertion of an IRQ when a single error is detected. FRAME 1. I0 I1 I0 I1 I0 D[15:0] Q0 Q1 Q0 Q1 Q0 Write to the following registers to enable the SED and load the comparison values.

Enable the SED error detect flag to assert the IRQ pin by writing 0x04 to Register 0x05. Begin transmitting the input data pattern. 09016-055 D[31:16] Figure 87. Timing Diagram for Dual-Word Mode SED Operation In word mode, the FRAME signal required to align the data samples needs to be extended. The FRAME signal can be issued once at the start of the data transmission, or it can be asserted repeatedly at intervals coinciding with the I0 and Q0 data-words. D[15:0] I0 Q0 I1 Q1 I0 Q0 09016-056 FRAME Figure 88. Timing Diagram for Two-Port Mode SED Operation 2. The SED has three flag bits (Register 0x67, Bit 0, Bit 1, and Bit 5) that indicate the results of the input sample comparisons. The sample error detected bit (Register 0x67, Bit 5) is set when an error is detected and remains set until the bit is cleared. The SED also provides registers that indicate which input data bits experienced errors (Register 0x70 through Register 0x73). These bits are latched and indicate the accumulated errors detected until cleared. 3. If IRQ is asserted, read Register 0x67 and Register 0x70 through Register 0x73 to verify that a SED error was detected and to determine which input bits were in error. The bits in Register 0x70 through Register 0x73 are latched; therefore, the bits indicate any errors that occurred on those bits throughout the test, not just the errors that caused the error detected flag to be set. The autoclear mode has two effects: it activates the compare fail bit and the compare pass bit (Register 0x67, Bit 1 and Bit 0) and Table 28.
