PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD9736, AD9735, and AD9734 are high performance, high
frequency DACs that provide sample rates of up to 1200 MSPS,
permitting multi-carrier generation up to their Nyquist frequency.
The AD9736 is the 14 bit member of the family, while the AD9735
and the AD9734 are the 12 and 10 bit members, respectively. They
include a serial peripheral interface (SPI) port that provides for
programming many internal parameters and also enables read-back
of status registers. They use a reduced specification LVDS interface
to minimize data interface noise that may degrade performance.
The output current can be programmed over a range of 10mA to
30mA. The AD9736 family is manufactured on a 0.18µm CMOS
process and operates from 1.8V and 3.3V supplies for a total power
consumption of 380mW in bypass mode. It is supplied in a 160 pin
BGA package for reduced package parasitics.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
Ultra-low Noise and Intermodulation Distortion (IMD) enable
high quality synthesis of wideband signals at intermediate
frequencies up to 600 MHz.
Double Data Rate (DDR) LVDS data receivers support the
maximum conversion rate of 1200 MSPS.
Direct pin programmability of basic functions or SPI port access
for complete control of all AD9736 family functions.
Manufactured on a CMOS process, the AD9736 family uses a
proprietary switching technique that enhances dynamic
performance.

ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on the
human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features proprietary
ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges.
Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

AD9736/AD9735/AD9734
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Serial Peripheral Interface
The AD9736/35/34 are 14/12/10-bit DACs which run at an update
rate up to 1.2GSPS. Input data can be accepted up to the full
1.2GSPS rate or a 2x interpolation filter may be enabled (2x mode)
allowing full-speed operation with a 600MSPS input data rate.
DATA and DATACLK_IN inputs are parallel LVDS meeting the
IEEE reduced swing LVDS specifications with the exception of
input hysteresis. The DATACLK_IN input runs at one half the
input DATA rate in a double data rate (DDR) format. Each edge of
DATACLK_IN is used to transfer DATA into the AD9736 as shown
in Figure 25.
The AD9736 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 AD9736. Single
or multiple byte transfers are supported, as well as MSB first or LSB
first transfer formats. The AD9736’s serial interface port can be
configured as a single pin I/O (SDIO) or two unidirectional pins for
in/out (SDIO/SDO).
The DACCLK (pins E1, F1) directly drives the DAC core to
minimize clock jitter. It is also divided by two (1x and 2x mode)
then output as the DATACLK_OUT. The DATACLK_OUT signal
is used to clock the data source. The DAC expects DDR LVDS data
(DB<13:0>) aligned with the DDR input clock (DATACLK_IN)
from a circuit similar to the one shown in Figure 35. Clock
relationships are shown in Table 6.

Table 6. AD9736 Clock Relationships
Maintaining correct alignment of data and clock is a common
challenge with high-speed DACs, complicated by changes in
temperature and other operating conditions. The AD9736
simplifies this high-speed data capture problem with two adaptive
closed-loop timing controllers.
One timing controller manages the LVDS data and data clock
alignment (LVDS controller) and the other manages the LVDS data
and DACCLK alignment (SYNC controller). The LVDS controller
locates the data transitions and delays the DATACLK_IN so that its
transition is in the center of the valid data window. The SYNC
controller manages the FIFO that moves data from the LVDS
DATACLK_IN domain to the DACCLK domain. Both controllers
can be operated in manual mode under external processor control,
surveillance mode where error conditions generate external
interrupts or automatic mode where errors are automatically
corrected.
The LVDS and SYNC controllers include moving average filtering
for noise immunity and variable thresholds to control their activity.
Normally the controllers can be set to run in automatic mode and
they will make any necessary adjustments without dropping or
duplicating samples sent to the DAC. Both controllers require
initial calibration prior to entering automatic update mode.
Control of the AD9736 functions is via the serially programmed
registers listed in Table 5.
The AD9736 may optionally be configured via external pins rather
than the serial interface. When the PIN_MODE input (pin L1) is
high the serial interface is disabled and its pins are reassigned for
direct control of the DAC. Specific functionality is described in the
PIN Mode section.
GENERAL OPERATION OF THE SERIAL INTERFACE
There are two phases to a communication cycle with the AD9736.
Phase 1 is the instruction cycle, which is the writing of an
instruction byte into the AD9736, coincident with the first eight
SCLK rising edges. The instruction byte provides the AD9736 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 AD9736.
The remaining SCLK edges are for Phase 2 of the communication
cycle. Phase 2 is the actual data transfer between the AD9736 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.
CSB can be raised after each sequence of 8 bits (except the last byte)
to stall the bus. The serial transfer will resume when CSB is
lowered. Stalling on non-byte boundaries will reset the SPI.

SDIO—Serial Data I/O. Data is always written into the AD9736 on
this pin. However, this pin can be used as a bidirectional data line.
The configuration of this pin is controlled by SDIO_DIR at REG00,
bit 7. The default is Logic 0, which configures the SDIO pin as
unidirectional.
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 8.
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 AD9736 operates in a single bidirectional I/O mode,
this pin does not output data and is set to a high impedance state.
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 AD9736 based on the LSBFIRST bit
(REG00, bit 6).
The AD9736 serial port can support both most significant bit
(MSB) first or least significant bit (LSB) first data formats. This
functionality is controlled by LSBFIRST at REG00, bit 6. The
default is MSB first (LSBFIRST = 0).

Table 9. SPI Instruction Byte
If LONG_INS = 1 (REG00, bit 4) the instruction byte is extended to
two bytes where the second byte provides an additional 8 bits of
address information. Addresses 0x00 – 0x1F are equivalent in short
and long instruction modes. The AD9736 does not use any
addresses greater than 31 (0x1F) so always set LONG_INS = 0.
MSB/LSB TRANSFERS
When LSBFIRST = 0 (MSB first) the instruction and data bytes
must be written from most significant bit to least significant bit.
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 in order
from high address to low address. In MSB first mode, the serial
port internal byte address generator decrements for each data byte
of the multibyte communication cycle.
When LSBFIRST = 1 (LSB first) the instruction and data bytes
must be written from least significant bit to most significant bit.
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.
The AD9736 serial port controller data address will decrement
from the data address written toward 0x00 for multibyte I/O
operations if the MSB first mode is active. The serial port controller
address will increment from the data address written toward 0x1F
for multibyte I/O operations if the LSB first mode is active.
NOTES ON SERIAL PORT OPERATION
SERIAL INTERFACE PORT PIN DESCRIPTIONS
SCLK—Serial Clock. The serial clock pin is used to synchronize
data to and from the AD9736 and to run the internal state
machines. SCLK’s maximum frequency is 20 MHz. All data input
to the AD9736 is registered on the rising edge of SCLK. All data is
driven out of the AD9736 on the rising 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
The AD9736 serial port configuration is controlled by REG00, bits
4, 5, 6 and 7. 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 same considerations apply to setting the
software reset, RESET (REG00, bit 5). All registers are set to their
default values EXCEPT REG00 and REG04 which remain
unchanged.

configurations or initiating a software reset is highly
recommended. In the event of unexpected programming sequences
the AD9736 SPI may become inaccessible. For example, if user
code inadvertently changes the LONG_INS bit or LSBFIRST bit the
following bits may have unexpected results. The SPI can be
returned to a known state by writing an incomplete byte (1-7 bits)
of all zeroes followed by three bytes of 0x00. This will return to
MSB first short instructions (REG00 = 0x00) so the device may be
reinitialized.

After the last instruction bit is written to the SDIO pin the driving
signal must be set to a high impedance in time for the bus to turn
around. The serial output data from the AD9736 will be enabled by
the falling edge of SCLK. This causes the first output data bit to be
shorter than the remaining data bits as shown in Figure 22.

AD9736/AD9735/AD9734
Preliminary Technical Data
AD9736 DATA INTERFACE CONTROLLERS
There are 2 internal controllers that can be utilized in the operation
of the AD9736. The first controller helps maintain optimum LVDS
data sampling and the second controller helps maintain optimum
synchronization between the DACCLK and the incoming data. The
LVDS controller is responsible for optimizing the sampling of the
data from the LVDS bus (DB13:0) while the SYNC controller
resolves timing problems between the DAC_CLK (CLK+, CLK-)
and the DATACLK. A block diagram of these controllers is shown
in Figure 23.
The controllers are clocked with a divided down version of the
DAC_CLK. The divide ratio is set utilizing the controller clock
predivider bits (CCD<3:0>) located at REG22 bits 3:0 to generate
the controller clock as follows:
Controller Clock = DAC_CLK / ( 2 ^ ( CCD<3 :0> + 4 ))
NOTE: The controller clock may not exceed 10MHz for correct
operation. Until CCD<3:0> has been properly programmed to
meet this requirement the DAC output may not be stable.
The LVDS and SYNC controllers can be independently operated in
3 different modes via SPI port REG06 and REG08.
1.
Manual Mode
2.
Surveillance Mode
3.
Auto Mode
In manual mode all of the timing measurements and updates are
externally controlled via the SPI.
In surveillance mode each controller takes measurements and
calculates a new “optimal” value continuously. The result of the
measurement can be passed through an averaging filter before
evaluating the results for increased noise immunity. The filtered
result is compared to a threshold value set via REG06 and REG08
of the SPI port. If the error is greater then the threshold, an
interrupt is triggered and the controller stops. REG01 of the SPI
port controls the interrupts with bits 3 and 2 enabling the
respective interrupts and bits 7 and 6 indicating the respective
controller’s interrupt. If an interrupt is enabled it will also activate
the AD9736’s IRQ pin. In order to clear an interrupt the interrupt
enable bit of the respective controller must be set to a zero for at
least one controller clock cycle (controller clock < 10MHz).
Auto mode is almost identical to surveillance mode. Instead of
triggering an interrupt and stopping the controller, the controller
automatically updates its settings to the newly calculated “optimal”
value and continues to run.

SAMPLING SIGNAL (CSS) is controlled by MHD3:0 (REG04, bits
3:0).
AD9736 LVDS Sample Logic
A simplified diagram of the AD9736 LVDS data sampling engine is
shown in Figure 24, with the timing relationships shown in Figure
25.
The incoming LVDS data is latched by the DATA SAMPLING
SIGNAL (DSS) which is derived from DATACLK_IN. The LVDS
controller delays DATACLK_IN to create the DATA SAMPLING
SIGNAL (DSS) which is adjusted to sample the LVDS data in the
center of the valid data window. The skew between the
DATACLK_IN and the LVDS data bits (DB<13:0>) must be
minimal (t1 and t2 in Figure 25) for proper operation. Therefore, it
is recommended that the DATACLK_IN be generated in the same
manner as the LVDS data bits (DB<13:0>) with the same driver and
data lines (i.e. it should just be another LVDS data bit running a
constant 01010101… sequence, as shown in Figure 35).

Note: The incremental units of SD, MSD, and MHD are in units of
real time, not fractions of a clock cycle. At this time, the delay from
each increment of these bits has not been fully characterized. Over
process, voltage, and temperature, each increment may introduce
between 25 and 100ps of delay with a nominal target of 80ps.

DATACLK_IN transitions must be time aligned with the LVDS
data (DB<13:0>) transitions. This allows the CLOCK SAMPLING
SIGNAL (CSS, derived from the DATACLK_IN), to find the valid
data window of DB<13:0> by locating the DATACLK_IN edges.
The latching (rising) edge of CSS is initially placed using bits
SD<3:0> and can then be shifted to the left using MSD<3:0> and to
the right using MHD<3:0>. When CSS samples the DELAYED
CLOCK SIGNAL (DCS) and the result is a 1, (which can be read
back via the CHECK bit at REG05, bit 0) then the sampling is
occurring in the correct data cycle. In order to find the leading
edge of the data cycle, increment MSD (Measured Set-up Delay)
until CHECK goes low. In order to find the trailing edge, increment
MHD (Measured Hold Delay) until CHECK goes low. Always set
MHD = 0 when incrementing MSD and vice-versa.
The manual operation of the LVDS controller allows the user to
step through both the set-up and hold delays to calculate the
optimal sampling delay (i.e. center of the data eye).

Figure 24. AD9736 Internal LVDS Data Sampling Logic
LVDS SAMPLE LOGIC CALIBRATION
The internal DATA SAMPLING SIGNAL delay must be calibrated
to optimize the data sample timing. Once calibrated, the AD9736
can generate an IRQ or automatically correct its timing if
temperature or voltage variations change the timing too much. This
calibration is done by using the delayed CLOCK SAMPLING
SIGNAL (CSS) to sample the DELAYED CLOCK SIGNAL (DCS).
The LVDS sampling logic can find the edges of the DATACLK_IN
signal and from this measurement the center of the valid data
window can be located.
The internal delay line which derives the delayed DATA
SAMPLING SIGNAL (DSS) from DATACLK_IN is controlled by
SD3:0 (REG05, bits 7:4) while the DELAYED CLOCK SIGNAL
(DCS) is controlled by MSD3:0 (REG04, bits 7:4) and the CLOCK
With SD<3:0> and MHD<3:0> set to zero, increment the set-up
time delay (MSD<3:0>, REG04, bits 7:4) until the check bit
(REG05, bit 0) goes low and record this value. This locates the
leading DATACLK_IN (and DATA) transition as shown in Figure
26.
With SD<3:0> and MSD<3:0> set to zero, increment the hold time
delay (MHD<3:0>, REG04, bits 3:0) until the check bit (REG05 bit
0) goes low and record this value. This locates the trailing
DATACLK_IN (and DATA) transition as shown in Figure 27.
Once both DATACLK_IN edges are located the Sample Delay
(SD<3:0>, REG05, bits 7:4) must be updated according to the
following equation:
Sample Delay = ( MHD – MSD ) / 2
After updating SD<3:0>, verify that the sampling signal is in the
middle of the valid data window by adjusting both MHD then
MSD with the new sample delay until the CHECK bit goes low. The
new MHD and MSD values should be equal or within one unit
delay if SD<3:0> was set correctly.
NOTE: The Sample Delay calibration just described should be
performed prior to enabling Surveillance mode or Auto mode.

OPERATING THE LVDS CONTROLLER IN SURVEILLANCE
AND AUTO MODE
In surveillance mode, the controller searches for the edges of the
data eye in the same manner as above in the manual mode of
operation and triggers an interrupt if the CLOCK SAMPLING
SIGNAL (CSS) has moved more than the threshold value set by
LTHR<1:0> (REG06, bits 1:0).
There is an internal filter which averages the set-up and hold time
measurements to filter out noise and glitches on the clock lines.
Average Value = ( MHD – MSD ) / 2
between the DACCLK and the DATACLK_IN clock domains. The
SYNC Controller writes data from DB<13:0> into an eight word
memory based on a cyclic write counter clocked by the CLOCK
SAMPLING SIGNAL (CSS) which is a delayed version of
DACCLK_IN. The data is read out of the memory based on a
second cyclic read counter clocked by DACCLK. The eight word
deep FIFO shown in Figure 28 provides sufficient margin to
maintain proper timing under most conditions. The SYNC logic is
designed to prevent the read and write pointers from crossing. If
the timing drifts far enough to require an update of the phase offset
(PHOF<1:0>) two samples will be duplicated or dropped. Figure 29
shows the timing diagram for the SYNC logic.
SYNC LOGIC AND CONTROLLER OPERATION
New Average = Average Value + ( Delta Average / 2 ^ LFLT<3:0> )
If an accumulating error in the Average Value causes it to exceed
the Threshold value (LTHR<1:0>) an interrupt will be issued.
The maximum allowable value for LFLT<3:0> is 12.
In surveillance mode, the ideal sampling point should first be
found using manual mode and applied to the sample delay
registers. The user should then set the threshold and filter values
depending on how far the CSS signal is allowed to drift before an
interrupt occurs. Then set the surveillance bit high (REG06, bit 7)
and monitor the interrupt signal either via the SPI port read back
(REG01, bit 3) or the IRQ pin.
In auto mode, the same steps should be taken to set up the sample
delay, threshold and filter length. In order to run the controller in
auto mode both the LAUTO (REG06, bit 6) and LSURV (REG06,
bit 7) bits need to be set to 1. In AUTO mode the LVDS interrupt
should be set low (REG01, bit 7) to allow the Sample Delay to be
automatically updated if the threshold value is exceeded.
AD9736 SYNC Logic and
Controller
A FIFO structure is utilized to synchronize the data transfer
8 Word
Memory
The relationship between the readout pointer and the write pointer
will initially be unknown since the startup relationship between
DACCLK and DATACLK_IN is unknown. The SYNC logic
measures the relative phase between the two counters with the zero
detect block and the Flip Flop in Figure 5 above. The relative phase
is returned in FIFOSTAT<2:0> (REG07, bits 6:4) and SYNC logic
errors are indicated by FIFOSTAT<3> (REG07, bit 7). If
FIFOSTAT<2:0> returns a value of zero or seven it signifies that the
memory is sampling in a critical state (read and write pointers are
close to crossing). If the FIFOSTAT<2:0> returns a value of 3 or 4 it
signifies the memory is sampling at the optimal state (read and
write pointers are farthest apart). If FIFOSTAT<2:0> returns a
critical value the pointer can be adjusted with the phase offset
PHOF<1:0> (REG07, bits 1:0). Due to the architecture of the FIFO
the phase offset can only adjust the read pointer in steps of two.
OPERATING IN MANUAL MODE
Allow DACCLK and DATACLK_IN to stabilize then enable FIFO
mode (REG00, bit 2). Read FIFOSTAT<2:0> (REG07, bits 6:4) to
determine if adjustment is needed. For example if FIFOSTAT<2:0>
= 6 the timing is not yet critical but it is not optimal. To return to
an optimal state (FIFOSTAT<2:0> = 4) the PHOF<1:0> (REG07,
bits 1:0) needs to be set to 1. Setting PHOF<1:0> = 1 effectively
increments the read pointer by 2. This causes the write pointer
value to be captured two clocks later decreasing FIFOSTAT<2:0>
from 6 to 4.

= 1 (REG09, bit 6). Next set the SYNC interrupt = 0 (REG01, bit 2),
to allow the phase offset (PHOF<1:0>) to be automatically updated
if FIFOSTAT<2:0> violates the threshold value.
OPERATION IN SURVEILLANCE AND AUTO MODES
Once FIFOSTAT<2:0> has been manually placed in an optimal
state the AD9736 SYNC logic can be run in Surveillance or Auto
mode. To start, turn on Surveillance mode by setting SSURV = 1
(REG08, bit 7) then enable the sync interrupt (REG01, bit 2). If
STRH<0> = 0 (REG08, bit 0) an interrupt will occur if
FIFOSTAT<2:0> = 0 or 7. If STRH<0> = 1 (REG08, bit 0) an
interrupt will occur if FIFOSTAT<2:0> = 0, 1, 6 or 7. The interrupt
can be read at REG01, bit 6 at the AD9736 IRQ pin.
The FIFOSTAT signal is filtered to improve noise immunity and
reduce unnecessary phase offset updates. The filter operates with
the following algorithm:
FIFOSTAT = FIFOSTAT + Delta FIFOSTAT / 2 ^ SFLT<3:0>
Where 0 <= SFLT<3:0> <= 12. Values greater than 12 are set to 12.

memory, it is important to put the correct idle value on the DATA
inputs to flush the memory prior to reading the BIST signature.
Placing the idle value on the data inputs also allows the BIST to be
setup while the DAC clock is running. The idle value should be all
zeroes in unsigned mode (0x0000) and all zeroes except for the
MSB in two’s complement mode (0x2000).
AD9736 DIGITAL BUILT-IN SELF TEST
BIST may be used to validate data transfer to the AD9736 in
addition to final ATE device verification. There are 4 BIST
signatures that can be read back using Registers 18-21 based on the
setting of the BIST selection bits (REG17, bits 7:6) as shown in
Table 12.

The BIST consists of two stages; the first stage is after the LVDS
receiver and the second stage is after the FIFO stage. The first BIST
stage verifies correct sampling of the data from the LVDS bus while
the second BIST stage verifies correct synchronization between the
DAC_CLK domain and the DATA_CLK domain. The BIST vector
is generated using 32 bit LFSR signature logic. Since the internal
architecture is a two bus parallel system there are two 32-bit LFSR
signature logic blocks on the both the LVDS and SYNC blocks.
Figure 30 shows where the LVDS and SYNC phases are located.

should equal the signature at LVDS BIST, Phase 1. The same is
true for Phase 2. BIST does not support 2x mode.
With all clocks running:
1.
2.
Set CLEAR (REG17, bit 0) high,
Set CLEAR low to clear the BIST signature register,
Clock the BIST vector into the LVDS data inputs,
After the BIST vector is complete, return the inputs to the
idle vector value,
Set LVDS_EN (REG17, bit 2) and SYNC_EN (REG17, bit
1) low,
Set the desired SEL<1:0> bits and read back the four
BIST signature registers (REG18, 19, 20 and 21).
Apply the idle vector to the data inputs (0x0000 if
unsigned, 0x2000 if two's complement) for 1024 clocks,
Set LVDS_EN (REG17, bit 2) and SYNC_EN (REG17, bit
1) high,

Preliminary Technical Data
MIRROR ROLL OFF FREQUENCY CONTROL
AD9736 ANALOG CONTROL REGISTER
The AD9736 includes some registers for optimizing its analog
performance. These registers include temperature trim for the
bandgap, noise reduction in the output current mirror and output
current mirror headroom adjustments.
With MSEL<1:0> (REG14, bits 7:6) the user can adjust the noise
contribution of the internal current mirror to optimize the 1/F
noise. Figure 32 shows MSEL vs. the 1/F noise with 20mA FullScale current into a 50ohm resistor.
BANDGAP TEMPERATURE CHARACTERISTIC TRIM BITS
Using TRMBG<2:0> (REG14, bits 2:0) the temperature
characteristic of the internal bandgap can be trimmed to minimize
the drift over temperature as shown in Figure 31.
Figure 32. 1/F Noise With Respect to MSEL Bits
HEADROOM BITS
Figure 31. BANDGAP Temperature Characteristic for Various TRMBG Values
HDRM<7:0> (REG15, bits 7:0) is for internal evaluation and it is
not recommended to change them from their default reset values.
It is important to note that the temperature changes are sensitive to
process variations and the above plot may not be representative of
all fabrication lots. Optimum adjustment requires measurement of
the device operation at two temperatures and development of a
trim algorithm to program the correct TRMBG<2:0> values in
external non-volatile memory.

VOLTAGE REFERENCE
The AD9736 output current is set by a combination of digital
control bits and the I120 reference current as shown in Figure 33.
The full scale output current range is 10mA to 30mA for register
values from 0x000 to 0x3FF. The default value of 0x200 generates
20mA full scale. The typical range is shown in Figure 34.

The reference current is obtained by forcing the bandgap voltage
across an external 10kohm resistor from I120 (pin B14) to ground.
The 1.2V nominal bandgap voltage (Vref) will generate a 120uA
reference current in the 10k resistor. This current is adjusted
digitally by FSC<9:0> (REG02, REG03) to set the output full scale
current IFS:
VREF (pin C14) must be bypassed to ground with a 1nF capacitor.
The bandgap voltage is present on this pin and may be buffered for
use in external circuitry. The typical output impedance is near
5kohms. If desired, an external reference may be used to overdrive
the internal reference by connecting it to the VREF pin.

IPTAT (pin D14) is used for factory testing. It may be left floating
(preferred) or tied to analog ground. It will output a current which
is proportional to absolute temperature. The nominal output is
approximately 10uA at 25C. The slope is approximately 20nA per
degree C.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
FPGA/ASIC DAC DRIVER REQUIREMENTS
To achieve data synchronization using the high speed capability of
the AD9736, ADI recommends the configuration in Figure 35 for
the FPGA/ASIC driving the digital inputs. Using the Double Data
Rate DATACLK_OUT, this configuration will generate the LVDS
DATACLK_IN to drive the AD9736 at the DDR rate. The circuit
also synchronizes the DATACLK_IN and the digital input data
(DB<13:0>) as required by the AD9736. The synchronization
engine in the AD9736 then uses DATACLK_IN to generate the
internal CLOCK SAMPLING SIGNAL to capture the incoming
data via the Manual, Surveillance or Auto mode.
Figure 35. Recommended FPGA/ASIC Configuration for Driving AD9736
Digital Inputs, 1x Mode
To operate in 2x mode, the circuit in Figure 35 must be modified to
include a divide-by-two block in the DATACLK_OUT path.
Without this additional divider the DATA and DATACLK_IN will
be running 2x too fast. DATACLK_OUT is always DACCLK/2.
