The following four values are needed to calculate the correct
values of the reference monitor:
System clock frequency, fS (usually 1 GHz)
Reference input frequency, fR (in Hz)
Error bound, E (1% = 0.01)
Monitor window size (W)
The monitor window size is the difference between the maximum
and minimum number of counts accumulated between adjacent
edges of the reference input. If this window is too small, random
variations cause the OOL detector to indicate incorrectly that
a reference is out of limits. However, the time required to
determine if the reference frequency is valid increases with window
size. A window size of at least 20 is a good starting point.
The four input values mentioned previously are used to calculate
the OOL divider (D) and OOL nominal value (N), which, in
turn, are used to calculate the OOL upper limit (U) and OOL
lower limit (L), according to the following formulas:
The AD9549 supports dual input reference clocks. Reference
switchover can be accomplished either automatically or manually
by appropriately programming the automatic selector bit in the
I/O register map (Register 0x01C0, Bit 2).
Transition to a newly selected reference depends on a number
of factors:

State of the REFSELECT pin

The timing accuracy is dependent on two factors. The first is
the inherent accuracy of fS because it serves as the time base for
the reference monitor. As such, the accuracy of the reference
monitor can be no better than the accuracy of fS. The second
factor is the value of W, which must be sufficiently large (≥20)
so that the timer resolves the deviation between a nominal value
of fR and a value that is out of limits.
As an example, let fR = 10 MHz, Ε = 0.05%, fS = 1 GHz, and
W = 20. The limits are then
D = 79
Lower Limit = 1980
Upper Limit = 2020
Next, let Ε = 0.0005%. Then the limits are
D = 7999
Lower Limit = 199980
Upper Limit = 200020
Note that the number of counts (and time) required to make
this measurement has increased by 100×. In addition, it is
recommended that D be an odd number.

REFERENCE SWITCHOVER
Figure 33. Reference Switchover and Holdover Logic
In manual mode, the active reference is determined by an externally applied logic level to the REFSELECT pin. In automatic
mode, an internal state machine determines which reference is
active, and the REFSELECT pin becomes an output indicating
which reference the state machine is using.
The user can override the active reference chosen by the internal
state machine via the enable ref input override bit. The REF_AB
bit is then used to select the desired reference. When in override,
it is important to note that the REFSELECT pin does not
indicate the physical reference selected by the REF_AB bit.
Instead, it indicates the reference that the internal state machine
would select if the device were not in the override mode. This
allows the user to force a reference switchover by means of the
programming registers while monitoring the response of the
state machine via the REFSELECT pin.
The same type of operation (manual/automatic and override)
also applies to the holdover function, as shown in the reference
switchover logic diagram (see Figure 33). The dashed arrows in
the diagram indicate that the state machine output is available
to the REFSELECT and HOLDOVER pins when in override mode.

Use of Line Card Mode to Eliminate Runt Pulses
Effect of Reference Input Switchover on Output Clock
When two references are not in exact phase alignment and
a transition is made from one to the other, it is possible that an
extra pulse may be generated. This depends on the relative edge
placement of the two references and the point in time that a switchover is initiated. To eliminate the extra pulse problem, an enable
line card mode bit is provided (Register 0x01C1, Bit 4). The line
card mode logic is shown in Figure 34. When the enable line card
bit is set to 0, reference switchover occurs on command without
consideration of the relative edge placement of the references.
This means that there is the possibility of an extra pulse. However,
when this bit is set to 1, the timing of the reference switchover is
executed conditionally, as shown in Figure 35.
This section covers the transient behavior of the AD9549
during a clock switchover event. This is also applicable when
the AD9549 leaves holdover and reverts to being locked to
a reference input. There is no phase disturbance entering
holdover mode.

Figure 35 shows a timing diagram that demonstrates the difference

given the command to switch to the alternate reference, an actual
transition does not occur until the next rising edge of the alternate reference. This action eliminates the spurious pulse that can

Switching reference inputs with different phases causes a transient
frequency disturbance at the output of the PLL. The magnitude
of this disturbance depends on the frequency of the reference
inputs, the magnitude of the phase offset between the two
references, and the digital PLL loop bandwidth.
0.292 Hz
30.72 MHz
= 0.0095 ppm
To apply this to a general case, the designer should calculate the
maximum time difference between two reference edges that are
180° apart. The preceding calculation of the slope, m, becomes
0.5 Hz, not 0.292 Hz, for a phase shift of 180°. Next, the frequency
error must be scaled for the loop bandwidth used. The frequency
error for 1 kHz is 5000× greater than for 0.2 Hz, so the peak
frequency error for the preceding example of 102° is 47.4 ppm,
and 81.3 ppm for a 180° phase error between the reference inputs.
Rev. D | Page 28 of 76
AD9549
When calculating frequency error for a hitless switchover
environment such as Stratum 3, as defined in Telcordia
GR-1244-CORE, the designer must consider the frequency
error budget for the entire system. The frequency disturbance
caused by a reference clock switchover in the AD9549
contributes to this budget.
It is also critical that the designer differentiate between applications that require the output clock to track the input clock,
as opposed to applications that require the PLL to smooth out
transient disturbances on the input.
Based on all of the preceding considerations, the AD9549
digital PLL architecture allows the designer to choose a loop
bandwidth tailored to meet the requirements for a given
application. The loop bandwidth can range from 0.1 Hz up
to 100 kHz, provided that the loop bandwidth is never more
than 1/10th of the phase detector frequency.
HOLDOVER
Holdover Control and Frequency Accuracy
Holdover functionality provides the user with a means of
maintaining the output clock signal even in the absence of a
reference signal at the REFA or REFB input. In holdover mode,
the output clock is generated from the SYSCLK input (via the
DDS) by directly applying a frequency tuning word to the DDS.
The frequency accuracy of the AD9549 is exactly the frequency
accuracy of the system clock input.
Transfer from normal operation to holdover mode can be
accomplished either manually or automatically by appropriately
programming the automatic holdover bit (Register 0x01C0, Bit 0,
0 = manual, 1 = auto). The actual transfer to holdover operation,
however, depends on the state of the HOLDOVER pin and the
state of the enable holdover override and holdover on/off
control register bits (Register 0x01C1, Bits 1:0).
Manual holdover is established when the automatic holdover bit is
a Logic 0 (default). In manual mode, holdover is determined by
the state of the HOLDOVER pin (0 = normal, 1 = holdover). The
HOLDOVER pin is configured as a high impedance (>100 kΩ)
input pin to accommodate manual holdover operation.
Automatic holdover is invoked when the automatic holdover bit
is a Logic 1. In automatic mode, the HOLDOVER pin is configured
as a low impedance output with its logic state indicating the
holdover state as determined by the internal state machine
(0 = normal, 1 = holdover).
In automatic holdover operation, the user can override the internal
state machine by programming the enable holdover override bit
to a Logic 1 and the holdover mode bit (Register 0x001C0[4])
to the desired state (0 = normal, 1 = holdover). However, the
HOLDOVER pin does not indicate the forced holdover state in
the override condition but continues to indicate the holdover
state as chosen by the internal state machine (even though the
state machine choice is overridden). This allows the user to
force a holdover state by means of the programming registers
while monitoring the response of the state machine via the
HOLDOVER pin. A diagram of the reference switchover and
holdover logic is shown in Figure 33.
Note that the default state for the reference switchover bits is as
follows: automatic holdover = 0, enable holdover override = 0,
and holdover mode = 0.

Holdover and Reference Switchover State Machine
Figure 37 shows the interplay between the input reference
signals and holdover, as well as the various control signals
and the four states.
State 1 or State 2 is in effect when the device is not in the holdover
condition, and State 3 or State 4 is in effect when the holdover
condition is active. When REFA is selected as the active reference,
State 1 or State 3 is in effect. When REFB is selected as the active
reference, State 2 or State 4 is in effect. A transition between states
depends on the reference switchover and holdover control register
The state machine and its relationship to control register and
external pin stimuli are shown in Figure 37. The state machine
generates a derived reference selection and holdover state. The
actual control signal sent to the reference switchover logic and
the holdover logic, however, depends on the control signals
applied to the muxes. The dashed path leading to the REFSELECT
and HOLDOVER pins is active when the automatic mode is
selected for reference selection and/or holdover assertion.

AD9549
Reference Validation Timers
Each of the two reference inputs has a dedicated validation
timer. The status of these timers is used by the holdover state
machine as part of the decision making process for reverting
to a previously faulty reference. For example, suppose that a
reference fails (that is, an LOR or OOL condition is in effect)
and that the device is programmed to revert automatically to
a valid reference when it recovers. When a reference returns to
normal operation, the LOR and OOL conditions are no longer
true. However, the state machine is not immediately notified of
the clearing of the LOR and OOL conditions. Instead, when
both the LOR and OOL conditions are cleared, the validation
timer for that particular reference is started. Expiration of the
validation timer is an indication to the state machine that the
reference is then available for selection. However, even though
the reference is then flagged as valid, actual transition to the
recovered reference depends on the programmed settings of the
various holdover control bits.
The validation timers are controlled via the I/O register map.
The user should be careful to make sure the validation timer is
at least two periods of the reference clock. Although there are
two independent validation timers, the programmed information is shared by both. The desired time interval is controlled via
a 5-bit word (T) such that 0 ≤ T ≤ 31 (default is T = 0). The
duration of the validation timers is given by
(
)
TRECOVER = T0 2T + 1 − 1
The output frequency in holdover mode depends on the
frequency of the SYSCLK input source and the value of the
FTW applied to the DDS. Therefore, the stability of the output
signal is completely dependent on the stability of the SYSCLK
source (and the SYSCLK PLL multiplier, if enabled).
Note that it is very important to power down an unused
reference input to avoid chattering on that input. In addition,
the reference validation timer must be set to at least one full
cycle of the signal coming out of the reference divider.
Holdover Sampler and Averager (HSA)
If activated via the I/O register map, the HSA continuously
monitors the data generated by the digital loop filter in the
background. It should be noted that the loop filter data is a time
sequence of frequency adjustments (Δf) to the DDS. The output
of the HSA is routed to a read-only register in the I/O register
map and to the holdover control logic.
The first of these destinations (the read-only register) serves as
a trace buffer that can be read by the user and the data processed
externally. The second destination (the holdover control logic)
uses the output of the HSA to peg the DDS at a specific frequency
upon entry into the holdover state. Hence, the DDS assumes a
frequency specified by the last value generated by the HSA just
prior to entering the holdover state.
The state of the output mux is established by programming the
I/O register map. The default state is such that the Δf values
pass through the HSA unaltered. In this mode, the output sample
rate is fS/P, the same as the sample rate of the digital loop filter.

valid, the AD9549 automatically switches to that input.

fS
Note that P is the divide ratio of the P-divider (see the Digital
Loop Filter section), and fS is the DAC sample rate.
See the Digital Loop Filter section for more information.
Holdover Operation
When the holdover condition is asserted, the DDS output
frequency is no longer controlled by the phase lock feedback
loop. Instead, a static frequency tuning word (FTW) is applied
to the DDS to hold it at a specified frequency. The source of the
static FTW depends on the status of the appropriate control
register bits. During normal operation, the holdover averager and
sampler monitors and accumulates up to 65,000 FTW values as
they are generated, and, upon entering holdover, the holdover
state machine can use the averaged tuning word or the last valid
tuning word.
Exiting holdover mode is similar to the manner in which it is
entered. If manual holdover control is used, when the holdover
pin is deasserted, the phase detector starts comparing the
holdover signal with the reference input signal and starts to
adjust the phase/frequency using the holdover signal as its
starting point.
The behavior of the holdover state machine when it is automatically exiting holdover mode is very similar. The primary
difference is that the reference monitor is continuously
Alternatively, the mux can be set to select the averaging path.
In this mode, a block average is performed on a sequence of
samples. The length of the sequence is determined by programming the value of Y (a 4-bit number stored in the I/O register
map) and has a value of 2Y + 1. In averaging mode, the output
sample rate is given by fS/(P × 2Y + 1).
When the number of Δf samples that are specified by Y has
been collected, the averaged result is delivered to a two-stage
pipeline. The last stage of the pipeline contains the value that
is delivered to the holdover control logic when a transition into
the holdover state occurs. The pipeline is a guarantee that the
averaged Δf value delivered to the holdover control logic has
not been interrupted by the transition into the holdover state.
The pipeline provides an inherent delay of Δt = P × 2Y + 1/fS.
Hence, the DDS hold frequency is the average as it appeared Δt
to 2Δt seconds prior to entering the holdover state. Note that
the user has some control over the duration of Δt because it is
dependent on the programmed value of Y.

OUTPUT FREQUENCY RANGE CONTROL
artifacts of the sampling process and other spurs outside the
filter bandwidth. The signal is then brought back on-chip to
be converted to a square wave that is routed internally to the
output clock driver or the 2× DLL multiplier.
Under normal operating conditions, the output frequency is
dynamically changing in response to the output of the digital
loop filter. The loop filter can steer the DDS to any frequency
between dc and fS/2 (with 48-bit resolution). However, the user
is given the option of placing limits on the tuning range of the
DDS via two 48-bit registers in the I/O register map: the FTW
upper limit and the FTW lower limit. If the tuning word input
exceeds the upper or lower frequency limit boundaries, the
tuning word is clipped to the appropriate value. The default
setting for these registers is fS/2 and dc, respectively. The
frequency word tuning limits should be used with caution
because they may make the digital loop unstable.
Because the DAC constitutes a sampled system, its output must
be filtered so that the analog waveform accurately represents the
digital samples supplied to the DAC input. The unfiltered DAC
output contains the desired baseband signal, which extends from
dc to the Nyquist frequency (fS/2). It also contains images of the
baseband signal that theoretically extend to infinity. Note that
the odd images (shown in Figure 39) are mirror images of the
baseband signal. Furthermore, the entire DAC output spectrum
is affected by a sin(x)/x response, which is caused by the sampleand-hold nature of the DAC output signal.
It may be desirable to limit the output range of the DDS to a
narrow band of frequencies (for example, to achieve better jitter
performance in conjunction with a band pass filter). See the Use
of Narrow-Band Filter for High Performance section for more
information about this feature.

The response of the reconstruction filter should preserve the

exhibits a relatively flat pass band that covers the desired output

maintains significant (though not complete) rejection of the
remaining images.

A distinct advantage of the AD9549 architecture is its ability to
constrain the frequency output range of the DDS. This allows
the user to employ a narrow-band reconstruction filter instead
of the low-pass response shown in Figure 39, resulting in less
jitter on the output. For example, suppose that the nominal
output frequency of the DDS is 150 MHz. One might then
choose a 5 MHz narrow band filter centered at 150 MHz. By
using the AD9549's DDS frequency limiting feature, the user
can constrain the output frequency to 150 MHz ± 4.9 MHz
(which allows for a 100 kHz margin at the pass-band edges).
This ensures that a feedback signal is always present for the
digital PLL. Such a design is extremely difficult to implement
with conventional PLL architectures.

Functional Description
The SYSCLK pins are where an external time base is connected

The benefit offered by the doubler depends on the magnitude
of the subharmonic, the loop bandwidth of the SYSCLK PLL
multiplier, and the overall phase noise requirements of the
specific application. In many applications, the AD9549 clock
output is applied to the input of another PLL, and the
subharmonic is often suppressed by the relatively narrow
bandwidth of the downstream PLL.
Note that generally, the benefits of the SYSCLK PLL doubler are
realized for SYSCLK input frequencies of 25 MHz and above.
SYSCLK PLL Multiplier
When the SYSCLK PLL multiplier path is employed, the
frequency applied to the SYSCLK input pins must be limited so
as not to exceed the maximum input frequency of the SYSCLK
PLL phase detector. A block diagram of the SYSCLK generator
is shown in Figure 43.

SYSCLK PLL Doubler
The SYSCLK PLL multiplier path offers an optional SYSCLK
PLL doubler. This block comes before the SYSCLK PLL
multiplier and acts as a frequency doubler by generating a pulse
on each edge of the SYSCLK input signal. The SYSCLK PLL
multiplier locks to the falling edges of this regenerated signal.
The impetus for doubling the frequency at the input of the
SYSCLK PLL multiplier is that an improvement in overall phase
noise performance can be realized. The main drawback is that
the doubler output is not a rectangular pulse with a constant
duty cycle even for a perfectly symmetric SYSCLK input signal.
This results in a subharmonic appearing at the same frequency
as the SYSCLK input signal, and the magnitude of the subharmonic can be quite large. When employing the doubler, care
must be taken to ensure that the loop bandwidth of the SYSCLK
PLL multiplier adequately suppresses the subharmonic.

Note that while these crystals meet the preceding criteria
according to their data sheets, Analog Devices, Inc., does not
guarantee their operation with the AD9549, nor does Analog
Devices endorse one supplier of crystals over another.
When the SYSCLK PLL multiplier path is disabled, the AD9549
must be driven by a high frequency signal source (500 MHz to
1 GHz). The signal thus applied to the SYSCLK input pins
becomes the internal DAC sampling clock (fS) after passing
through an internal buffer.

The SYSCLK PLL multiplier path is enabled by a Logic 0
(default) in the PD SYSCLK PLL bit of the I/O register map.
The SYSCLK PLL multiplier can be driven from the SYSCLK
input pins by one of two means depending on the logic level
applied to the 1.8V CMOS CLKMODESEL pin. When
CLKMODESEL = 0, a crystal can be connected directly across
the SYSCLK pins. When CLKMODESEL = 1, the maintaining
amp is disabled, and an external frequency source (oscillator,
signal generator, etc.) can be connected directly to the SYSCLK
input pins. Note that CLKMODESEL = 1 does not disable the
system clock PLL.
Figure 43. Block Diagram of the SYSCLK PLL
The SYSCLK PLL multiplier has a 1 GHz VCO at its core. A phase/
frequency detector (PFD) and charge pump provide the steering
signal to the VCO in typical PLL fashion. The PFD operates on
the falling edge transitions of the input signal, which means that
the loop locks on the negative edges of the reference signal. The
charge pump gain is controlled via the I/O register map by selecting
one of three possible constant current sources ranging from 125 μA
to 375 μA in 125 μA steps. The center frequency of the VCO is
also adjustable via the I/O register map and provides high/low
gain selection. The feedback path from VCO to PFD consists of
a fixed divide-by-2 prescaler followed by a programmable divideby-N block, where 2 ≤ N ≤ 33. This limits the overall divider
range to any even integer from 4 to 66, inclusive. The value of
N is programmed via the I/O register map via a 5-bit word that
spans a range of 0 to 31, but the internal logic automatically adds
a bias of 2 to the value entered, extending the range to 33. Care
should be taken when choosing these values so as to not exceed
the maximum input frequency of the SYSCLK PLL phase detector
or SYSCLK PLL doubler. These values can be found in the AC
Specifications section.

External Loop Filter (SYSCLK PLL)
The loop bandwidth of the SYSCLK PLL multiplier can be
adjusted by means of three external components, as shown in
Figure 44. The nominal gain of the VCO is 800 MHz/V. The
recommended component values are shown in Table 7. They
establish a loop bandwidth of approximately 1.6 MHz with
the charge pump current set to 250 μA. The default case is
N = 40 and assumes a 25 MHz SYSCLK input frequency and
generates an internal DAC sampling frequency (fS) of 1 GHz.

To reduce such a spur requires combining the original signal with
a replica of the spur, but offset in phase by 180°. This idea is the
foundation of the technique used to reduce harmonic spurs in
the AD9549. Because the DAC has 14-bit resolution, a −60dBc
spur can be synthesized using only the lower four bits of the DAC
full-scale range. That is, the 4 LSBs can create an output level that
is approximately 60 dB below the full-scale level of the DAC
(commensurate with a −60 dBc spur). This fact gives rise to
a means of digitally reducing harmonic spurs or their aliased
images in the DAC output spectrum by digitally adding a sinusoid
at the input of the DAC with similar magnitude as the offending
spur but shifted in phase to produce destructive interference.

The measurement time can be further reduced (though
marginally) by using K1 instead of KHIGH. K1 is found by solving
the ε ≤ ε0 inequality iteratively. To do so, start with K = KHIGH
and decrement K successively while evaluating the inequality
for each value of K. Stop the process the first time that the
inequality is no longer satisfied and add 1 to the value of K
thus obtained. The result is the value of K1. For the preceding
example, K1 = 1912, Tmeas = 98.35 μs, and ε = 39.8 ppm.
If a further reduction of the measurement time is necessary,
K0 can be used. K0 is found in a manner similar to K1. Start with
K = KLOW and increment K successively while evaluating the
inequality for each value of K. Stop the process the first time that
the inequality is satisfied. The result is the value of K0. For the
preceding example, K0 = 1005, Tmeas = 51.70 μs, and ε = 49.0 ppm.
If external frequency division exists between the DAC output
and the FDBK_IN pins, the frequency estimator should not be
used because it will calculate the wrong initial frequency.

STATUS AND WARNINGS
Status Pins
Four pins (S1 to S4) are reserved for providing device status
information to the external environment. These four pins are
individually programmable (via the serial I/O port) as an OR'ed
combination of six possible status indications. Each pin has a
dedicated group of control register bits that determine which
internal status flags are used to provide an indication on a
particular pin, as shown in Figure 49.
Reference Monitor Status
In the case of reference monitoring status information, a pin
can be programmed for either REFA or REFB, but not both.
In addition, the OR'ed output configuration allows the user to
combine multiple status flags into a single status indication. For
example, if both the LOR and OOL control register bits are true,
the status pin associated with that particular control register
gives an indication if either the LOR or OOL status flag is
asserted for the selected reference (A or B).
The four status pins (S1 to S4) provide a completely separate
function at power-up. They can be used to define the output
frequency of the DDS at power-up even though the I/O registers
have not yet been programmed. This is made possible because
the status pins are designed with bidirectional drivers. At powerup, internal logic initiates a reset pulse of about 10 ns. During
this time, S1 to S4 briefly function as input pins and can be
driven externally. Any logic levels thus applied are transferred
to a 4-bit register on the falling edge of the internally initiated
pulse. The falling edge of the pulse also returns S1 to S4 to their
normal function as output pins. The same behavior occurs
when the RESET pin is asserted manually.
Setting up S1 to S4 for default DDS start-up is accomplished by
connecting a resistor to each pin (either pull-up or pull-down)
to produce the desired bit pattern, yielding 16 possible states
that are used both to address an internal 8 × 16 ROM and to
select the SYSCLK mode (see Table 8). The ROM contains eight
16-bit DDS frequency tuning words (FTWs), one of which is
selected by the state of the S1 to S3 pins. The selected FTW is
transferred to the FTW0 register in the I/O register map without
the need for an I/O update. This ensures that the DDS generates
the selected frequency even if the I/O registers have not been
programmed. The state of the S4 pin selects whether the internal
system clock is generated by means of the internal SYSCLK PLL
multiplier or not (see the SYSCLK Inputs section for details).
Rev. D | Page 39 of 76
AD9549
The DDS output frequency listed in Table 8 assumes that
the internal DAC sampling frequency (fS) is 1 GHz. These
frequencies scale 1:1 with fS, meaning that other startup
frequencies are available by varying the SYSCLK frequency.
Interrupt Request (IRQ)
Any one of the four status pins (S1 to S4) can be programmed as
an IRQ pin. If a status pin is programmed as an IRQ pin, the state
of the internal IRQ flag appears on that pin. An IRQ flag is
internally generated based on the change of state of any one of
the internal status flags. The individual status flags are routed to
a read-only I/O register (status register) so that the user can
interrogate the status of any of these flags at any time. Furthermore,
each status flag is monitored for a change in state. In some cases,
only a change of state in one direction is necessary (for example, the
frequency estimate done flag), but in most cases, the status flags are
monitored for a change of state in either direction (see Figure 50).
At startup, the internal frequency multiplier defaults to 40×
when the Xtal/PLL mode is selected via the status pins.
Note that when using this mode, the digital PLL loop is still open,
and the AD9549 is acting as a frequency synthesizer. The
frequency dividers and DPLL loop filter must still be
programmed before closing the loop.
Table 8. Default Power-Up Frequency Options for 1 GHz
System Clock
Whether or not a particular state change is allowed to generate
an IRQ is dependent on the state of the bits in the IRQ mask
register. The user programs the mask to enable those events,
which are to constitute cause for an IRQ. If an unmasked event
occurs, it triggers the IRQ latch and the IRQ flag is asserted
(active high). The state of the IRQ flag is made available
externally via one of the programmable status pins (see the
Status Pins section).

The automatic assertion of the IRQ flag causes the contents of the
status register to be transferred to the IRQ status register. The
user can then read the IRQ status register any time after the
indication of an IRQ event (that is, assertion of the IRQ flag). By
noting the bit that is set in the IRQ register, the cause of the IRQ
event can be determined.
Once the IRQ register has been read, the user must set the IRQ
reset bit in the appropriate control register via the serial I/O port.
This restores the IRQ flag to its default state, clears the IRQ status
register, and resets the edge detection logic that monitors the
status flags in preparation for the next state change.

AD9549
POWER-UP
POWER-ON RESET
On initial power-up, it is recommended that the user apply a
RESET pulse, at least 75 ns in duration, on Pin 59 after both of
the following two conditions are met:
•
•
The 3.3 V supply is greater than 2.35 V ± 0.1 V.
The 1.8 V supply is greater than 1.4 V ± 0.05 V.
The high-to-low transition of the RESET pulse is the active
edge of the pulse and therefore the user is afforded the option
of holding RESET high during power–up.
Less than 1 ns after RESET goes high, the S1 to S4 configuration
pins go high impedance and remain high impedance until RESET
is deactivated. This allows strapping and configuration during
RESET.
Because of this reset sequence, external power supply sequencing is not critical.
Use the following sequence when changing frequencies in the
AD9549:
1.
2.
3.
4.

6.
Note the following:
•

The following sequence should be used when initializing the

Apply power. After the power supplies reach a threshold and
stabilize, it is recommended that an active high pulse be
asserted on the RESET pin (Pin 59), initiating a hard reset.
It is important to be sure that the desired configuration
registers have single-tone mode set (Register 0x0100, Bit 5)
and that the close loop bit (Register 0x0100[0]) is cleared.
If the close loop bit is set on initial loading, the AD9549
attempts to lock the loop before it has been configured.
When the registered are loaded, the OOL (out of limits)
and LOR (loss of reference) can be monitored to ensure
that a valid reference signal is present on REFA or REFB.
If a valid reference is present, Register 0x0100 can be
reprogrammed to clear single-tone mode and lock the loop.
Automatic holdover mode can then be used to make the
AD9549 immune to any disturbance on the reference inputs.
Open the loop and enter single-tone mode via
Register 0x0100.
Enter the new register settings.
Write 0x1E to Register 0x0012.

Rev. D | Page 42 of 76
Attempting to lock the loop without a valid reference can
put the AD9549 into a state that requires a reset, or at a
minimum, writing 0xFF to Register 0x0012.
Automatic holdover mode is not available unless the loop
has been successfully closed.
If the user desires to open and close the loop manually, it is
recommended that 0x1E to be written to Register 0x0012
prior to closing the loop again.
AD9549
POWER SUPPLY PARTITIONING
The AD9549 features multiple power supplies, and their power
consumption varies with its configuration. This section covers
which power supplies can be grouped together and how the
consumption of each power block varies with frequency.
1.8 V SUPPLIES
DVDD (Pin 3, Pin 5, Pin 7)
The recommendations here are for typical applications, and for
these applications, there are four groups of power supplies:
3.3 V digital, 3.3 V analog, 1.8 V digital, and 1.8 V analog.
These pins should be grouped together and isolated from the
1.8 V AVDD supplies. For most applications, a ferrite bead
provides sufficient isolation, but a separate regulator may be
necessary for applications demanding the highest performance.
The current consumption of this group increases from about
160 mA at a system clock of 700 MHz to about 205 mA at a
system clock of 1 GHz. There is also a slight (~5%) increase as
fOUT increases from 50 MHz to 400 MHz.
Applications demanding the highest performance may require
additional power supply isolation.
AVDD (Pin 11, Pin 19, Pin 23, Pin 24, Pin 36, Pin 42, Pin 44,
and Pin 45)
Note that all power supply pins must receive power regardless of
whether that block is used.
These pins can be grouped together and should be isolated from
other 1.8 V supplies. A separate regulator is recommended. At a
minimum, a ferrite bead should be used for isolation.
The numbers quoted here are for comparison only. Refer to the
Specifications section for exact numbers. With each group, use
bypass capacitors of 1 μF in parallel with a 10 μF.
3.3 V SUPPLIES
AVDD (Pin 53)
DVDD_I/O (Pin 1) and AVDD3 (Pin 14)
Although one of these pins is analog and the other is digital,
these two 3.3 V supplies can be grouped together. The power
consumption on Pin 1 varies dynamically with serial port activity.
AVDD3 (Pin 37)
Pin 37 is the CMOS driver supply. It can be either 1.8 V or 3.3 V,
and its power consumption is a function of the output frequency
and loading of OUT_CMOS (Pin 38).
If the CMOS driver is used at 3.3 V, this supply should be isolated
from other 3.3 V supplies with a ferrite bead to avoid a spur at
the output frequency. If the HSTL driver is not used, AVDD3
(Pin 37) can be connected (using a ferrite bead) to AVDD3
(Pin 46, Pin 47, Pin 49). If the HSTL driver is used, connect
AVDD3 (Pin 37) to Pin 1 and Pin 14, using a ferrite bead.
If the CMOS driver is used at 1.8 V, AVDD3 (Pin 37) can be
connected to AVDD (Pin 36).
If the CMOS driver is not used, AVDD3 (Pin 37) can be tied
directly to the 1.8 V AVDD (Pin 36) and the CMOS driver
powered down using Register 0x0010.
AVDD3 (Pin 46, Pin 47, Pin 49)
These are 3.3 V DAC power supplies that typically consume
about 25 mA. At a minimum, a ferrite bead should be used to
isolate these from other 3.3 V supplies, with a separate regulator
being ideal.
This 1.8 V supply consumes about 40 mA. The supply can be
run off the same regulator as 1.8 V AVDD group, with a ferrite
bead to isolate Pin 53 from the rest of the 1.8 V AVDD group.
However, for applications demanding the highest performance,
a separate regulator is recommended.
AVDD (Pin 25, Pin 26, Pin 29, Pin 30)
These system clock PLL power pins should be grouped together
and isolated from other 1.8 V AVDD supplies.
At a minimum, it is recommended that Pin 25 and Pin 30 be
tied together and isolated from the aggregate AVDD 1.8 V supply
with a ferrite bead. Likewise, Pin 26 and Pin 29 can also be tied
together, with a ferrite bead isolating them from the same aggregate
1.8 V supply. The loop filter for the system clock PLL should
directly connect to Pin 26 and Pin 29 (see Figure 44).
Applications demanding the highest performance may require
that these four pins be powered by their own LDO.
If the system clock PLL is bypassed, the loop filter pin (Pin 31)
should be pulled down to analog ground using a 1 kΩ resistor.
Pin 25, Pin 26, Pin 29, and Pin 30 should be included in the large
1.8 V AVDD power supply group. In this mode, isolation of these
pins is not critical, and these pins consume almost no power.

AD9549
SERIAL CONTROL PORT
The AD9549 serial control port is a flexible, synchronous, serial
communications port that allows an easy interface with many
industry-standard microcontrollers and microprocessors. Single
or multiple byte transfers are supported, as well as MSB first or
LSB first transfer formats. The AD9549 serial control port can
be configured for a single bidirectional I/O pin (SDIO only) or
for two unidirectional I/O pins (SDIO/SDO).
Note that many serial port operations (such as the frequency
tuning word update) depend on presence of the DAC system clock.
SERIAL CONTROL PORT PIN DESCRIPTIONS
SCLK (serial clock) is the serial shift clock. This pin is an input.
SCLK is used to synchronize serial control port reads and writes.
Write data bits are registered on the rising edge of this clock,
and read data bits are registered on the falling edge. This pin is
internally pulled down by a 30 kΩ resistor to ground.
The SDIO pin (serial data input/output) is a dual-purpose pin
that acts as input only or as input/output. The AD9549 defaults
to bidirectional pins for I/O. Alternatively, SDIO can be used
as a unidirectional I/O pin by writing to the SDO active bit
(Register 0x0000, Bit 0 = 1). In this case, SDIO is the input, and
SDO is the output.
The SDO (serial data out) pin is used only in the unidirectional
I/O mode (Register 0x0000, Bit 0 = 1) as a separate output pin for
reading back data. Bidirectional I/O mode (using SDIO as both
input and output) is active by default (the SDO active bit in
Register 0x0000, Bit 0 = 0).
The CSB (chip select bar) pin is an active low control that gates
the read and write cycles. When CSB is high, SDO and SDIO
are in a high impedance state. This pin is internally pulled up by
a 100 kΩ resistor to 3.3 V. It should not be left floating. See the
Operation of Serial Control Port section on the use of the CSB
pin in a communication cycle.

Framing a Communication Cycle with CSB
A communication cycle (a write or a read operation) is gated by
the CSB line. CSB must be brought low to initiate a communication cycle.
CSB stall high is supported in modes where three or fewer bytes
of data (plus instruction data) are transferred ([W1:W0] must
be set to 00, 01, or 10; see Table 10). In these modes, CSB can
temporarily return high on any byte boundary, allowing time
for the system controller to process the next byte. CSB can go
high on byte boundaries only and can go high during either
part (instruction or data) of the transfer. During this period, the
serial control port state machine enters a wait state until all data
has been sent. If the system controller decides to abort the transfer
before all of the data is sent, the state machine must be reset by
either completing the remaining transfer or by returning the CSB
low for at least one complete SCLK cycle (but fewer than eight
SCLK cycles). Raising the CSB on a non-byte boundary terminates
the serial transfer and flushes the buffer.
In the streaming mode ([W1:W0] = 11), any number of data
bytes can be transferred in a continuous stream. The register
address is automatically incremented or decremented (see the
MSB/LSB First Transfers section). CSB must be raised at the end
of the last byte to be transferred, thereby ending the stream
mode.
Communication Cycle—Instruction Plus Data
There are two parts to a communication cycle with the AD9549.
The first part writes a 16-bit instruction word into the AD9549,
coincident with the first 16 SCLK rising edges. The instruction
word provides the AD9549 serial control port with information
regarding the data transfer, which is the second part of the communication cycle. The instruction word defines whether the upcoming
data transfer is a read or a write, the number of bytes in the data
transfer, and the starting register address for the first byte of the
data transfer.
Write
If the instruction word is for a write operation (I15 = 0), the
second part is the transfer of data into the serial control port
buffer of the AD9549. The length of the transfer (1, 2, 3 bytes,
or streaming mode) is indicated by two bits ([W1:W0]) in the
instruction byte. The length of the transfer indicated by [W1:W0]
does not include the 2-byte instruction. CSB can be raised after
each sequence of eight bits to stall the bus (except after the last
byte, where it ends the cycle). When the bus is stalled, the serial
transfer resumes when CSB is lowered. Stalling on nonbyte
boundaries resets the serial control port.
There are three types of registers on the AD9549: buffered, live,
and read-only. Buffered (also referred to as mirrored) registers
require an I/O update to transfer the new values from a temporary
buffer on the chip to the actual register and are marked with an M
in the Type column of the register map. Toggling the IO_UPDATE
pin or writing a 1 to the register update bit (Register 0x0005, Bit 0)
causes the update to occur. Because any number of bytes of data
can be changed before issuing an update command, the update
simultaneously enables all register changes occurring since any
previous update. Live registers do not require I/O update and
update immediately after being written. Read-only registers
ignore write commands and are marked RO in the Type column
of the register map. An AC in this column indicates that the
register is autoclearing.
Rev. D | Page 44 of 76
AD9549
Read
If the instruction word is for a read operation (I15 = 1), the next
N × 8 SCLK cycles clock out the data from the address specified
in the instruction word, where N is 1, 2, 3, 4, as determined by
[W1:W0]. In this case, 4 is used for streaming mode where four
or more words are transferred per read. The data readback is
valid on the falling edge of SCLK.
The default mode of the AD9549 serial control port is bidirectional mode, and the data readback appears on the SDIO pin. It
is possible to set the AD9549 to unidirectional mode by writing
to the SDO active bit at Register 0x0000[7] = 0; in that mode,
the requested data appears on the SDO pin.

REGISTER BUFFERS
By default, a read request reads the register value that is currently
in use by the AD9549. However, setting Register 0x0004[0] = 1
causes the buffered registers to be read instead. The buffered
registers are the ones that take effect during the next I/O update.
Figure 52. Relationship Between Serial Control Port Register Buffers and
Control Registers of the AD9549
The AD9549 uses Register 0x0000 to Register 0x0509. Although
the AD9549 serial control port allows both 8-bit and 16-bit
instructions, the 8-bit instruction mode provides access to only
five address bits ([A4:A0]), which restricts its use to Address
Space 0x0000 to Address Space 0x0031. The AD9549 defaults
to 16-bit instruction mode on power-up, and 8-bit instruction
mode is not supported.
THE INSTRUCTION WORD (16 BITS)
The MSB of the instruction word is R/W, which indicates whether
the instruction is a read or a write. The next two bits, [W1:W0],
are the transfer length in bytes. The final 13 bits are the address
([A12:A0]) at which to begin the read or write operation.
For a write, the instruction word is followed by the number of
bytes of data indicated by Bits[W1:W0], which is interpreted
according to Table 10.
Bits[A12:A0] select the address within the register map that is
written to or read from during the data transfer portion of the
communications cycle. The AD9549 uses all of the 13-bit address
space. For multibyte transfers, this address is the starting byte
address.

MSB/LSB FIRST TRANSFERS
The AD9549 instruction word and byte data may be MSB first
or LSB first. The default for the AD9549 is MSB first. The LSB
first mode can be set by writing a 1 to Register 0x0000[6] and
requires that an I/O update be executed. Immediately after the
LSB first bit is set, all serial control port operations are changed
to LSB first order.
When MSB first mode is active, the instruction and data bytes
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 must follow in order from high address to low address.
In MSB first mode, the serial control port internal address
generator decrements for each data byte of the multibyte
transfer cycle.
When LSB first = 1 (LSB first), the instruction and data bytes
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 control port internal byte address
generator increments for each byte of the multibyte transfer cycle.
The AD9549 serial control port register address decrements
from the register address just written toward 0x0000 for multibyte I/O operations if the MSB first mode is active (default).
If the LSB first mode is active, the serial control port register
address increments from the address just written toward 0x1FFF
for multibyte I/O operations.
Unused addresses are not skipped during multibyte I/O operations.
The user should write the default value to a reserved register and
should write only 0s to unmapped registers. Note that it is more
efficient to issue a new write command than to write the default
value to more than two consecutive reserved (or unmapped)
registers.

I/O REGISTER MAP
All address and bit locations that are left blank in Table 13 are unused. Accessing reserved registers should be avoided. In cases where
some of the bits in register are reserved, the user can rely on the default value in the I/O register map and write the same value back to the
reserved bits in that register.

Resets register map, except for Register 0x0000. Setting this bit forces a soft reset, meaning that S1 to S4
are not tristated, nor is their state read when this bit is cleared. The AD9549 assumes the values of S1 to S4
that were present during the last hard reset. This bit is not self-clearing, and all other registers are restored
to their default values after a soft reset.
Sets bit order for serial port.
1 = LSB first.

PFD divider
Description
Divide ratio for PFD clock from system clock. This is typically varied only in cases where the designer wishes
to run the DPLL phase detector fast while SYSCLK is run relatively slowly. The ratio is equal to PFD
divider × 4. For a 1 GHz system clock, the ADC runs at 1 GHz/20 = 50 MHz, and the DPLL phase detector
runs at half this speed, which, in this case, is 25 MHz.

Description

Setting this bit allows the AD9549 to output a tone open loop using FTW0 as DDS tuning word. This bit
must be cleared when Bit 0 (close loop) is set. This is very useful in debugging when the signal coming
into the AD9549 is questionable or nonexistent.
The frequency estimator is normally not used but is useful when the input frequency is unknown or
needs to be qualified. This estimate appears in Register 0x0115 to Register 0x011A. The frequency
estimator is not needed when FTW0 (Register 0x01A6 to Register 0x01AB) is programmed. See the
Frequency Estimator section.
This bit enables the frequency slew limiter that controls how fast the tuning word can change and is
useful for avoiding runt and stretched pulses during clock switchover and holdover transitions. These
values are set in Register 0x0127 to Register 0x012C. See the Frequency Slew Limiter section.
Reserved.
This bit reverses the polarity of the loop response.
Setting this bit closes the loop. If Bit 4 of this register is cleared, the frequency estimator is used. If this
bit is cleared and the loop is opened, reset the CCI and LF bits of Register 0x0012 before closing the
loop again. A valid input reference signal must be present the first time the loop is closed. If no input
signal is present during the first time the loop is closed, the user must reset the digital PLL blocks by
writing 0xFF to Register 0x0012 before attempting to close the loop again.

Validation timer
Description
Reserved.
The value in this register sets the time required to validate a reference after an LOR or OOL event
before the reference can be used as the DPLL reference. This circuit uses the digital loop filter clock
(see Register 0x0107). Validation time = loop filter clock period × 2(Validation Timer [4:0] +1) − 1. Assuming
power-on defaults, the recovery time varies from 32 ns (00000) to 137 sec (11111). If longer valida-tion
times are required, the user can make the P-divider larger. The user should be careful to set the
validation timer to at least two periods of the OOL evaluation period. The OOL evaluation period is the
period of reference input clock times the OOL divider (Register 0x0322 to Register 0x0323).

This flag indicates that the phase lock detect circuit has detected phase lock. The amount of phase
adjustment is compared against a programmable threshold. Note that this bit can be set in single
tone and holdover modes and should be ignored in these cases.
This flag indicates that the frequency lock detect circuit has detected frequency lock. This feature
compares the absolute value of the difference of two consecutive phase detector edges against a
programmable threshold. Because of this, frequency lock detect is more rigorous than phase lock
detect, and it is possible to have phase lock detect without frequency lock detect.
