A third option is to ac couple a differential LVDS signal to the

sample clock input pins, as shown in Figure 55. The AD9510,

AD9511, AD9512, AD9513, AD9514, AD9515, AD9516, AD9517,

AD9518, AD9520, AD9522, AD9523, AD9524 clock drivers offer

excellent jitter performance.

Input Clock Divider

The AD9634 contains an input clock divider with the ability to

divide the input clock by integer values between 1 and 8. For

divide ratios other than 1, the DCS is enabled by default on

power-up.

Clock Duty Cycle

Typical high speed ADCs use both clock edges to generate a

variety of internal timing signals and, as a result, may be sensitive to

clock duty cycle. Commonly, a ±5% tolerance is required on the

clock duty cycle to maintain dynamic performance characteristics.

The AD9634 contains a DCS that retimes the nonsampling

(falling) edge, providing an internal clock signal with a nominal

50% duty cycle. This allows the user to provide a wide range of

clock input duty cycles without affecting the performance of the

AD9634.

Jitter on the rising edge of the input clock is still of paramount

concern and is not reduced by the duty cycle stabilizer. The duty

cycle control loop does not function for clock rates less than

40 MHz nominally. The loop has a time constant associated

with it that must be considered when the clock rate may change

dynamically. A wait time of 1.5 μs to 5 μs is required after a

dynamic clock frequency increase or decrease before the DCS loop

is relocked to the input signal. During the time that the loop is

not locked, the DCS loop is bypassed, and internal device timing

is dependent on the duty cycle of the input clock signal. In such

applications, it may be appropriate to disable the duty cycle

stabilizer. In all other applications, enabling the DCS circuit is

recommended to maximize ac performance.

Jitter Considerations

High speed, high resolution ADCs are sensitive to the quality

of the clock input. The degradation in SNR at a given input

frequency (fIN) due to jitter (tJ) can be calculated by

SNRHF = −10 log[(2π × fIN × tJRMS)2 + 10

In the equation, the rms aperture jitter represents the root-

mean-square of all jitter sources, which include the clock input,

the analog input signal, and the ADC aperture jitter specification.

IF undersampling applications are particularly sensitive to jitter,

as shown in Figure 56.

In cases where aperture jitter may affect the dynamic range of the

AD9634, treat the clock input as an analog signal. In addition,

use separate power supplies for the clock drivers and the ADC

output driver to avoid modulating the clock signal with digital

noise. Low jitter, crystal controlled oscillators provide the best clock

sources. If the clock is generated from another type of source (by

gating, dividing, or another method), it should be retimed by the

original clock during the last step.

System Performance, and AN-756 Application Note, Sampled

Systems and the Effects of Clock Phase Noise and Jitter, for more

information about jitter performance as it relates to ADCs.
