CLOCK INPUT CONSIDERATIONS

For optimum performance, the AD9228 sample clock inputs

(CLK+ and CLK−) should be clocked with a differential signal.

This signal is typically ac-coupled into the CLK+ and CLK− pins

via a transformer or capacitors. These pins are biased internally

and require no additional bias.

Figure 50 shows one preferred method for clocking the AD9228.

The low jitter clock source is converted from single-ended to

differential using an RF transformer. The back-to-back Schottky

diodes across the secondary transformer limit clock excursions

into the AD9228 to approximately 0.8 V p-p differential. This

helps prevent the large voltage swings of the clock from feeding

through to other portions of the AD9228 and preserves the fast

rise and fall times of the signal, which are critical to low jitter

performance.

If a low jitter clock is available, another option is to ac-couple a

differential PECL signal to the sample clock input pins as shown

in Figure 51. The AD9510/AD9511/AD9512/AD9513/AD9514/

AD9515 family of clock drivers offers excellent jitter performance.

In some applications, it is acceptable to drive the sample clock

inputs with a single-ended CMOS signal. In such applications,

CLK+ should be directly driven from a CMOS gate, and the

CLK− pin should be bypassed to ground with a 0.1 μF capacitor

in parallel with a 39 kΩ resistor (see Figure 53). Although the

CLK+ input circuit supply is AVDD (1.8 V), this input is

designed to withstand input voltages up to 3.3 V, making the

selection of the drive logic voltage very flexible.

Clock Duty Cycle Considerations

Typical high speed ADCs use both clock edges to generate a

variety of internal timing signals. As a result, these ADCs may

be sensitive to clock duty cycle. Commonly, a 5% tolerance is

required on the clock duty cycle to maintain dynamic performance

characteristics. The AD9228 contains a duty cycle stabilizer (DCS)

that retimes the nonsampling edge, providing an internal clock

signal with a nominal 50% duty cycle. This allows a wide range

of clock input duty cycles without affecting the performance of

the AD9228. When the DCS is on, noise and distortion perfor-

mance are nearly flat for a wide range of duty cycles. The DCS

function cannot be turned off.

The duty cycle stabilizer uses a delay-locked loop (DLL) to

create the nonsampling edge. As a result, any changes to the

sampling frequency require approximately 10 clock cycles

to allow the DLL to acquire and lock to the new rate.
