The exposed pad (EPAD) must be soldered to the ground plane
(AVSS) for the 72-lead LFCSP. The EPAD provides an electrical,
thermal, and mechanical connection to the board.
Typical θJA, θJB, and θJC values are specified for a 4-layer board in
still air. Airflow increases heat dissipation, effectively reducing
θJA and θJB.

TERMINOLOGY
Integral Nonlinearity (INL)
INL is 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
Settling time is 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)
SFDR is the difference, in decibels, between the peak amplitude
of the output signal and the peak spurious signal within the dc
to Nyquist frequency of the DAC. Typically, the interpolation
filters reject energy in this band. This specification, therefore,
defines how well the interpolation filters work and the effect of
other parasitic coupling paths on the DAC output.
Offset Error
Offset error is the deviation of the output current from the ideal
of 0 mA. For DACOUTP, 0 mA output is expected when all
inputs are set to 0. For DACOUTN, 0 mA output is expected
when all inputs are set to 1.
Gain Error
Gain error is the difference between the actual and ideal output
span. The actual span is determined by the difference between
the output when all inputs are set to 1 and the output when all
inputs are set to 0.
Output Compliance Range
The output compliance range is 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.
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.
Power Supply Rejection (PSR)
PSR is the maximum change in the full-scale output as the
supplies are varied from minimum to maximum specified
voltages.
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.
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.
Adjacent Channel Leakage Ratio (ACLR)
ACLR is the ratio in decibels relative to the carrier (dBc) between
the measured power within a channel relative to 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.

SERIAL PORT OPERATION
54 CS
SPI
PORT 53 SCLK
52 SDIO
11744-028
The serial port is a flexible, synchronous serial communications
port that allows easy interfacing 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 AD9139.
MSB first or LSB first transfer formats are supported. The serial
port interface is a 3-wire only interface. The input and output
share a single input/output (SDIO) pin.
SERIAL PORT PIN DESCRIPTIONS
Serial Clock (SCLK)
The serial clock pin, SCLK, 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 read on the rising
edge of SCLK. All data is driven out on the falling edge of SCLK.
Chip Select (CS)
Figure 23. Serial Port Interface Pins
There are two phases to a communication cycle with the AD9139.
Phase 1 is the instruction cycle (the writing of an instruction
byte into the device), coincident with the first 16 SCLK rising
edges. The instruction word provides the serial port controller
with information regarding the data transfer cycle, Phase 2, of
the communication cycle. The Phase 1 instruction word defines
whether the upcoming data transfer is a read or write, together
with the starting register address for the following data transfer.
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 16 rising SCLK edges represent the
instruction bits of the current I/O operation.
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 data byte. Registers change immediately upon
writing to the last bit of each transfer byte.
DATA FORMAT
The instruction byte contains the information shown in Table 9.
Table 9. Serial Port Instruction Word
I15 (MSB)
R/W
A14 to A0 (Bit 14 to Bit 0 of the instruction word) determine
the register that is accessed during the data transfer portion of
the communication cycle. For multibyte transfers, A14 is the
starting address; the device generates the remaining register
addresses based on the SPI_LSB_FIRST bit.
I[14:0]
A[14:0]
R/W (Bit 15 of the instruction word) determines whether a read
or a write data transfer occurs after the instruction word write.
Logic 1 indicates a read operation, and Logic 0 indicates a write
operation.
CS is an active low input that starts and gates a communication
cycle. It allows the use of multiple devices on the same serial
communications line. The SDIO pin enters a high impedance
state when the CS input is high. During the communication
cycle, CS remains low.
Serial Data I/O (SDIO)
The SDIO pin is a bidirectional data line.
SERIAL PORT OPTIONS
The serial port supports both MSB first and LSB first data
formats; the SPI_LSB_FIRST bit (Register 0x00, Bit 6) controls
this functionality. The default is MSB first (SPI_LSB_FIRST = 0).
When SPI_LSB_FIRST = 0 (MSB first), the instruction and data
bits must be written from MSB to LSB. Multibyte data transfers
in MSB first format start with an instruction word that includes the
register address of the most significant data byte. Subsequent data
bytes must follow from high address to low address. In MSB first
mode, the serial port internal word address generator decrements
for each data byte of the multibyte communication cycle.
When SPI_LSB_FIRST = 1 (LSB first), the instruction and data
bits must be written from LSB to MSB. Multibyte data transfers
in LSB first format start with an instruction word that includes the
register address of the least significant data byte. Subsequent data
bytes must follow from low address to high address. In LSB first
mode, the serial port internal word address generator increments
for each data byte of the multibyte communication cycle.
When the MSB first mode is active, the serial port controller
data address decrements from the data address written toward
0x00 for multibyte I/O operations. If the LSB first mode is
active, the serial port controller data address increments from
the data address written toward 0xFF for multibyte I/O
operations.

DATA INTERFACE
LVDS INPUT DATA PORTS
DATA INTERFACE CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
The AD9139 has a 16-bit LVDS bus that accepts 16-bit data
either in word wide (16-bit) or byte wide (8-bit) formats. In the
word wide interface mode, the data is sent over the entire 16-bit
data bus. In the byte wide interface mode, the data is sent over
the lower 8-bit (D7 to D0) LVDS bus. Table 10 lists the pin
assignment of the bus and the SPI register configuration for
each mode.
To provide more flexibility for the data interface, additional
options are listed in Table 11.

DLL INTERFACE MODE
A source synchronous LVDS interface is used between the data
host and the AD9139 to achieve high data rates while simplifying
the interface. The FPGA or ASIC feeds the AD9139 with 16-bit
input data. Together with the input data, the FPGA or ASIC
provides a DDR DCI.
SPI Register Configuration
Register 0x26, Bit 0 = 0
Register 0x26, Bit 0 = 1
WORD INTERFACE MODE
In word mode, the digital clock input (DCI) signal is a reference
bit that generates a double data rate (DDR) data sampling clock.
Time align the DCI signal with the data.
A delay locked loop (DLL) circuit, designed to operate with
DCI clock rates between 250 MHz and 575 MHz, generates a
phase shifted version of the DCI signal, called a data sampling
clock (DSC), to register the input data on both the rising and
falling edges.

BYTE INTERFACE MODE
In byte mode, the required sequence of the input data stream is
S0[15:8], S0[7:0], S1[15:8], S1[7:0], and so forth. A frame signal
is required to align the order of input data bytes properly. Time
align both the DCI signal and frame signal with the data. The
rising edge of the frame indicates the start of the sequence. The
frame can be either a one shot or periodical signal as long as its
first rising edge is correctly captured by the device. For a one
shot frame, the frame pulse must be held at high for at least one
DCI cycle. For a periodical frame, the frequency must be
fDCI/(2 × n)
Figure 29 is an example of signal timing in byte mode.
AD9139 WORD MODE
S0[15:8]
S0[7:0]
S1[15:8]
As shown in Figure 31, the DCI clock edges must be coincident
with the data bit transitions with minimum skew and jitter. The
nominal sampling point of the input data occurs in the middle
of the DCI clock edges because this point corresponds to the
center of the data eye. This is also equivalent to a nominal phase
shift of 90°of the DCI clock.
The data timing requirements are defined by a data valid
window (DVW) that is dependent on the data clock input skew,
input data jitter, and the variations of the DLL delay line across
delay settings. The DVW is defined as
DVW = tDATA PERIOD − tDATA SKEW − tDATA JITTER
The available margin for data interface timing is given by
tMARGIN = DVW − (tS + tH)
The difference of the setup and hold times, which is also called
the keep out window, or KOW, is the area where data transitions
are prohibited. The timing margin allows the user to set the
DLL delay, as shown in Figure 30.

Figure 30. LVDS Data Port Timing Requirements
Figure 30 shows that the ideal location for the DSC signal is 90°
out of phase from the DCI input; however, due to skew of the
DCI relative to the data, it may be necessary to change the DSC
phase offset to sample the data at the center of its eye diagram.
Vary the sampling instance in discrete increments by offsetting the
nominal DLL phase shift value of 90° via Register 0x0A, Bits[3:0].
This register is a signed value. The MSB is the sign and the LSBs
are the magnitude. The following equation defines the phase
offset relationship:
Phase Offset = 90° + n × 11.25°, |n| < 7
where n is the DLL phase offset setting.
Figure 31 shows the DSC setup and hold times with respect to
the DCI signal and data signals.
Table 12 lists the guaranteed values across the operating conditions. These values were obtained using a 50% duty cycle and a
DCI swing of 450 mV p-p. For best performance, maintain a
duty cycle variation below ±5% and set the DCI input as high as
possible, up to 1200 mV p-p.

Table 13 shows characterization data for selected fDCI frequencies. Other frequencies are possible; use Table 13 to estimate performance.
Table 13 shows the typical times for various DCI clock frequencies
that are required to calculate the data valid margin. Use Table 13 to
determine the amount of margin that is available for tuning of
the DSC sampling point.
Maximizing the opening of the eye in both the DCI and data
signals improves the reliability of the data port interface. Use
differential controlled impedance traces of equal length (that is,
delay) between the host processor and the AD9139 input. To
ensure coincident transitions with the data bits, implement the
DCI signal as an additional data line with an alternating
(010101…) bit sequence from the same output drivers that are
used for the data.
The DCI signal is ac-coupled by default; thus, removing the
DCI signal may cause DAC output chatter due to randomness
on the DCI input. To avoid this, disable the DAC output
whenever the DCI signal is not present by setting the DAC output
current power-down bit in Register 0x01[7] to 1. When the DCI
signal is again present, enable the DAC output by programming
Register 0x01[7] to 0.
Register 0x0D optimizes the DLL stability over the operating
frequency range. Table 14 shows the recommended settings.
