AD9689
Data Sheet
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9689 is a dual, 14-bit, 2.0 GSPS/2.6 GSPS analog-to-digital
converter (ADC). The device has an on-chip buffer and a
sample-and-hold circuit designed for low power, small size, and
ease of use. This product is designed to support communications
applications capable of direct sampling wide bandwidth analog
signals of up to 5 GHz. The −3 dB bandwidth of the ADC input
is 9 GHz. The AD9689 is optimized for wide input bandwidth,
high sampling rate, excellent linearity, and low power in a small
package.
The dual ADC cores feature a multistage, differential pipelined
architecture with integrated output error correction logic. Each
ADC features wide bandwidth inputs supporting a variety of
user-selectable input ranges. An integrated voltage reference
eases design considerations. The analog input and clock signals
are differential inputs. The ADC data outputs are internally
connected to four digital downconverters (DDCs) through a
crossbar mux. Each DDC consists of multiple cascaded signal
processing stages: a 48-bit frequency translator (numerically
controlled oscillator (NCO)), and decimation rates. The NCO has
the option to select preset bands over the general-purpose
input/output (GPIO) pins, which enables the selection of up to
three bands. Operation of the AD9689 between the DDC modes is
selectable via SPI-programmable profiles.
In addition to the DDC blocks, the AD9689 has several functions
that simplify the automatic gain control (AGC) function in a
communications receiver. The programmable threshold detector
allows monitoring of the incoming signal power using the fast
detect control bits in Register 0x0245 of the ADC. If the input
signal level exceeds the programmable threshold, the fast detect
indicator goes high. Because this threshold indicator has low
latency, the user can quickly turn down the system gain to avoid
an overrange condition at the ADC input. In addition to the fast
detect outputs, the AD9689 also offers signal monitoring
capability. The signal monitoring block provides additional
information about the signal being digitized by the ADC.
The user can configure the Subclasss 1 JESD204B-based high
speed serialized output in a variety of one-lane, two-lane, fourlane, and eight-lane configurations, depending on the DDC
configuration and the acceptable lane rate of the receiving logic
device. Multidevice synchronization is supported through the
SYSREF± and SYNCINB± input pins.
The AD9689 has flexible power-down options that allow
significant power savings when desired. All of these features can
be programmed using a 3-wire serial port interface (SPI).
The AD9689 is available in a Pb-free, 196-ball BGA, specified
over the −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature range. This
product is protected by a U.S. patent.
Note that throughout this data sheet, multifunction pins, such
as FD_A/GPIO_A0, are referred to either by the entire pin
name or by a single function of the pin, for example, FD_A,
when only that function is relevant.

AD9689
Data Sheet
THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD9689 has several functions that simplify the AGC
function in a communications receiver. The programmable
threshold detector allows monitoring of the incoming signal
power using the fast detect output bits of the ADC. If the input
signal level exceeds the programmable threshold, the fast detect
indicator goes high. Because this threshold indicator has low
latency, the user can quickly turn down the system gain to avoid
an overrange condition at the ADC input.
The Subclass 1 JESD204B-based high speed serialized output data
lanes can be configured in one-lane (L = 1), two-lane (L = 2),
four-lane (L = 4), and eight-lane (L = 8) configurations, depending
on the sample rate and the decimation ratio. Multiple device
synchronization is supported through the SYSREF± and
SYNCINB± input pins. The SYSREF± pin in the AD9689 can
also be used as a timestamp of data as it passes through the
ADC and out of the JESD204B interface.
Figure 78 shows the differential input return loss curve for the
analog inputs across a frequency range of 100 MHz to 10 GHz.
The reference impedance is 100 Ω.

The analog input to the AD9689 is a differential buffer. The internal
common-mode voltage of the buffer is 1.4 V. The clock signal
alternately switches the input circuit between sample mode and
hold mode.

FREQUENCY (100MHz TO 10GHz)
The architecture of the AD9689 consists of an input buffered
pipelined ADC. The input buffer provides a termination
impedance to the analog input signal. This termination
impedance is set to 200 Ω. The equivalent circuit diagram of the
analog input termination is shown in Figure 66. The input
buffer is optimized for high linearity, low noise, and low power
across a wide bandwidth.
ANALOG INPUT CONSIDERATIONS

ADC ARCHITECTURE
The input buffer provides a linear high input impedance
(for ease of drive) and reduces kickback from the ADC. The
quantized outputs from each stage are combined into a final
14-bit result in the digital correction logic. The pipelined
architecture permits the first stage to operate with a new input
sample; at the same time, the remaining stages operate with the
preceding samples. Sampling occurs on the rising edge of the clock.

The dual ADC cores feature a multistage, differential pipelined
architecture with integrated output error correction logic. Each
ADC features wide bandwidth inputs supporting a variety of
user-selectable input ranges. An integrated voltage reference
eases design considerations.
Either a differential capacitor or two single-ended capacitors (or
a combination of both) can be placed on the inputs to provide a
matching passive network. These capacitors ultimately create a
low-pass filter that limits unwanted broadband noise. For more
information, refer to the Analog Dialogue article, “TransformerCoupled Front-End for Wideband A/D Converters” (Volume 39,
April 2005). In general, the precise front-end network
component values depend on the application.
SDD11
The AD9689 has two analog input channels and up to eight
JESD204B output lane pairs. The ADC samples wide bandwidth
analog signals of up to 5 GHz. The actual −3 dB roll-off of the
analog inputs is 9 GHz. The AD9689 is optimized for wide input
bandwidth, high sampling rate, excellent linearity, and low
power in a small package.
Figure 78. Differential Input Return Loss
For best dynamic performance, the source impedances driving
VIN+x and VIN−x must be matched such that common-mode
settling errors are symmetrical. These errors are reduced by the
common-mode rejection of the ADC. An internal reference
buffer creates a differential reference that defines the span of the
ADC core.
Maximum SNR performance is achieved by setting the ADC to
the largest span in a differential configuration. For the AD9689,
the available span is programmable through the SPI port from
1.13 V p-p to 2.04 V p-p differential, with 1.7 V p-p differential
being the default.

Differential Input Configurations
For higher frequencies in the second or third Nyquist zones, it
is recommended to remove some of the front-end passive
components to ensure wideband operation (see Figure 80 and
Table 9).
There are several ways to drive the AD9689, either actively or
passively. Optimum performance is achieved by driving the
analog input differentially.

For applications where SNR and SFDR are key parameters,
differential transformer coupling is the recommended input
configuration (see Figure 79 and Table 9) because the noise
performance of most amplifiers is not adequate to achieve the
true performance of the AD9689.

Input Common Mode
The analog inputs of the AD9689 are internally biased to the
common-mode voltage, as shown in Figure 82. The commonmode buffer has a limited range in that the performance suffers
greatly if the common-mode voltage drops by more than 50 mV on
either side of the nominal value.
For dc-coupled applications, the recommended operation procedure
is to export the common-mode voltage to the VREF pin using
the SPI writes listed in this section. The common-mode voltage
must be set by the exported value to ensure proper ADC
operation. Disconnect the internal common-mode buffer from
the analog input using Register 0x1908.
When performing SPI writes for dc coupling operation, use the
following register settings in order:
Using Register 0x1A4C and Register 0x1A4D, the buffer behavior
on each channel can be adjusted to optimize the SFDR over various
input frequencies and bandwidths of interest. Use Register 0x1910
to change the internal reference voltage. Changing the internal
reference voltage results in a change in the input full-scale voltage.
When the input buffer current in Register 0x1A4C and
Register 0x1A4D is set, the amount of current required by the
AVDD3 supply changes. This relationship is shown in Figure 83.
For a complete list of buffer current settings, see Table 46 and
Table 53.
0.26
0.25
Set Register 0x1908, Bit 2 to disconnect the internal
common-mode buffer from the analog input. Note that
this is a local register.
Set Register 0x18A6 to 0x00 to turn off the voltage reference.
Set Register 0x18E6 to 0x00 to turn off the temperature
diode export.
Set Register 0x18E3, Bit 6 to 1 to turn on the VCM export.
Set Register 0x18E3, Bits[5:0] to the buffer current setting
(Register 0x1A4C and Register 0x1A4D) to improve the
accuracy of the common-mode export.

The dither is on by default. It is not recommended to turn it off.
Absolute Maximum Input Swing
The absolute maximum input swing allowed at the inputs of the
AD9689 is 5.8 V p-p differential. Signals operating near or at
this level can cause permanent damage to the ADC. See Table 6
for more information.
VOLTAGE REFERENCE
A stable and accurate 0.5 V voltage reference is built into the
AD9689. This internal 0.5 V reference sets the full-scale input
range of the ADC. The full-scale input range can be adjusted via
the ADC input full-scale control register (Register 0x1910). For
more information on adjusting the input swing, see Table 46 and
Table 53. Figure 85 shows the block diagram of the internal 0.5 V
reference controls.
The SPI Register 0x18A6 enables the user to either use this
internal 0.5 V reference, or to provide an external 0.5 V
reference. When using an external voltage reference, provide a
0.5 V reference. The full-scale adjustment is made using the SPI,
irrespective of the reference voltage. For more information on
adjusting the full-scale level of the AD9689, refer to the Memory
Map section.

The AD9689 has internal on-chip dither circuitry that improves
the ADC linearity and SFDR, particularly at smaller signal levels.
A known but random amount of white noise is injected into the
input of the AD9689. This dither improves the small signal
linearity within the ADC transfer function and is precisely
subtracted out digitally. The dither is turned on by default and
does not reduce the ADC input dynamic range. The data sheet
specifications and limits are obtained with the dither turned on.

The AD9689 contains a digital filter to remove the dc offset
from the output of the ADC. For ac-coupled applications, this
filter can be enabled by writing 0x86 to Register 0x0701. The
filter computes the average dc signal and it is digitally subtracted
from the ADC output. As a result, the dc offset is improved to
better than 70 dBFS at the output. Because the filter does not
distinguish between the source of dc signals, this feature can be
used when the signal content at dc is not of interest. The filter
corrects dc up to ±512 codes and saturates beyond this value.

Typical high speed ADCs use both clock edges to generate a
variety of internal timing signals. The AD9689 contains an
internal clock divider and a duty cycle stabilizer comprised of
DCS1 and DCS2, which is enabled by default. In applications
where the clock duty cycle cannot be guaranteed to be 50%, a
higher multiple frequency clock along with the usage of the
clock divider is recommended.
When it is not possible to provide a higher frequency clock, it is
recommended to turn on the DCS using Register 0x011C and
Register 0x011E. Figure 92 shows the different controls to the
AD9689 clock inputs. The output of the divider offers a 50% duty
cycle, high slew rate (fast edge) clock signal to the internal ADC.
See the Memory Map section for more details on using this feature.
Input Clock Divider
Register 0x0112, Bits[7:0] offer the user the option to delay
the clock in 192 delay steps. Register 0x0111, Bits[7:0] offer the
user the option to delay the clock in 128 superfine steps. These
values can be programmed individually for each channel. To
use the superfine delay option, set the clock delay control in
Register 0x0110, Bits[2:0] to 0x2 or 0x6. Figure 93 shows the
controls available to the clock dividers within AD9689. It is
recommended to apply the same delay settings to the digital
delay circuits as are applied to the analog delay circuits to
maintain sample accuracy through the pipe.

CLK_DIV
The AD9689 contains an input clock divider with the ability to
divide the input clock by 1, 2, or 4. Select the divider ratios
using Register 0x0108 (see Figure 92).
The maximum frequency at the CLK± inputs is 6 GHz, which is
the limit of the divider. In applications where the clock input is
a multiple of the sample clock, take care to program the appropriate
divider ratio into the clock divider before applying the clock
signal; this ensures that the current transients during device
startup are controlled.

The clock delay adjustment takes effect immediately when it is
enabled via SPI writes. Enabling the clock fine delay adjust in
Register 0x0110 causes a datapath reset. However, the contents
of Register 0x0111 and Register 0x0112 can be changed without
affecting the stability of the JESD204B link.
Figure 92. Clock Divider Circuit
The AD9689 clock divider can be synchronized using the
external SYSREF± input. A valid SYSREF± signal causes the
clock divider to reset to a programmable state. This synchronization feature allows multiple devices to have their clock
dividers aligned to guarantee simultaneous input sampling. See
the Memory Map Register Details section for more information.
The AD9689 has many different domains within the analog
supply that control various aspects of the data conversion. The
clock domain is supplied by Pin A4, Pin A5, Pin A10, Pin A11,
Pin B4, and Pin B11 on the analog supply, AVDD1 (0.975 V)
and Pin A6, Pin A9, Pin B6, Pin B7, Pin B8, Pin B9, Pin C6,
Pin C7, Pin C8, Pin C9, Pin D7, and Pin D8 on the ground
(AGND) side. To minimize coupling between the clock supply
domain and the other analog domains, it is recommended to
add a supply Q factor reduction circuitry for Pin A4 and Pin
A11, as well as Pin B4 and Pin B11, as shown in Figure 94.

Clock Jitter Considerations
High speed, high resolution ADCs are sensitive to the quality of
the clock input. Calculate the degradation in SNR at a given
input frequency (fA) due only to aperture jitter (tJ) by
SNR (dBFS)
SNRJITTER = −20 × log10 (2 × π × fA × tJ)
In this equation, the rms aperture jitter represents the root
mean square of all jitter sources, including the clock input,
analog input signal, and ADC aperture jitter specifications.
Intermediate frequency (IF) undersampling applications are
particularly sensitive to jitter (see Figure 95).

default operation is PDWN. The PDWN/STBY pin is a logic

disrupted. The power-down option can also be set via

Figure 95. Ideal SNR vs. Analog Input Frequency and Jitter
Treat the clock input as an analog signal when aperture jitter
may affect the dynamic range of the AD9689. Separate power
supplies for clock drivers from the ADC output driver supplies
to avoid modulating the clock signal with digital noise. If the
clock is generated from another type of source (by gating,
dividing, or other methods), retime the clock by the original clock
at the last step. Refer to the AN-501 Application Note and the
AN-756 Application Note for more information about jitter
performance as it relates to ADCs.
Figure 96 shows the estimated SNR of the AD9689 across input
frequency for different clock induced jitter values. Estimate the
SNR by using the following equation:

In standby mode, the JESD204B link is not disrupted and transmits
zeros for all converter samples. Change this transmission using
Register 0x0571, Bit 7 to select /K/ characters.
TEMPERATURE DIODE
The AD9689 contains diode-based temperature sensors. The
diodes output voltages commensurate to the temperature of the
silicon. There are multiple diodes on the die, but the results
established using the temperature diode at the central location
of the die can be regarded as representative of the entire die.
However, in applications where only one channel is used (the
other channel being in a power-down state), it is recommended
to read the temperature diode corresponding to the channel
that is on. Figure 97 shows the locations of the diodes in the
AD9689 with voltages that can be output to the VREF pin. In
each location, there is a pair of diodes, one of which is 20× the
size of the other. It is recommended to use both diodes in a
location to obtain an accurate estimate of the die temperature.

Data Sheet
AD9689
ADC OVERRANGE AND FAST DETECT
The operation of the upper threshold and lower threshold registers,
along with the dwell time registers, is shown in Figure 101.
In receiver applications, it is desirable to have a mechanism to
reliably determine when the converter is about to be clipped.
The standard overrange bit in the JESD204B outputs provides
information on the state of the analog input that is of limited
usefulness. Therefore, it is helpful to have a programmable
threshold below full scale that allows time to reduce the gain
before the clip actually occurs. In addition, because input
signals can have significant slew rates, the latency of this
function is of major concern. Highly pipelined converters can
have significant latency. The AD9689 contains fast detect
circuitry for individual channels to monitor the threshold and
assert the FD_A and FD_B pins.
The FD indicator is asserted if the input magnitude exceeds the
value programmed in the fast detect upper threshold registers,
located at Register 0x0247 and Register 0x0248. The selected
threshold register is compared with the signal magnitude at the
output of the ADC. The fast upper threshold detection has a
latency of 28 clock cycles (maximum). The approximate upper
threshold magnitude is defined by
Upper Threshold Magnitude (dBFS) = 20log(Threshold
Magnitude/213)
The FD indicators are not cleared until the signal drops below
the lower threshold for the programmed dwell time. The lower
threshold is programmed in the fast detect lower threshold
registers, located at Register 0x0249 and Register 0x024A. The
fast detect lower threshold register is a 13-bit register that is
compared with the signal magnitude at the output of the ADC.
This comparison is subject to the ADC pipeline latency, but is
accurate in terms of converter resolution. The lower threshold
magnitude is defined by
ADC OVERRANGE
The ADC overrange indicator is asserted when an overrange is
detected on the input of the ADC. The overrange indicator can
be embedded within the JESD204B link as a control bit (when
CSB > 0). The latency of this overrange indicator matches the
sample latency.
The AD9689 also records any overrange condition in any of the
eight virtual converters. For more information on the virtual
converters, refer to Figure 109. The overrange status of each virtual
converter is registered as a sticky bit in Register 0x0563. The
contents of Register 0x0563 can be cleared using Register 0x0562,
by toggling the bits corresponding to the virtual converter to set
and reset position.
Lower Threshold Magnitude (dBFS) =
20log(Threshold Magnitude/213)
For example, to set an upper threshold of −6 dBFS, write 0xFFF
to Register 0x0247 and Register 0x0248. To set a lower threshold of
−10 dBFS, write 0xA1D to Register 0x0249 and Register 0x024A.
FAST THRESHOLD DETECTION (FD_A AND FD_B)
The dwell time can be programmed from 1 to 65,535 sample
clock cycles by placing the desired value in the fast detect dwell
time registers, located at Register 0x024B and Register 0x024C.
See Register 0x0040 and Register 0x0245 to Register 0x024C in
the Memory Map section (see Table 46, Table 47, and Table 49)
for more details.
The FD_A or FD_B pin is immediately set whenever the
absolute value of the input signal exceeds the programmable
upper threshold level. The FD bit is only cleared when the
absolute value of the input signal drops below the lower
threshold level for greater than the programmable dwell time.
This feature provides hysteresis and prevents the FD bit from
excessively toggling.

ADC APPLICATION MODES AND JESD204B Tx CONVERTER MAPPING
Table 11 shows the number of virtual converters required and
the transport layer mapping when channel swapping is disabled.
Figure 102 shows the virtual converters and their relationship to
the DDC outputs when complex outputs are used.
The AD9689 contains a configurable signal path that allows
different features to be enabled for different applications.
These features are controlled using the chip mode register,
Register 0x0200. The chip operating mode is controlled by
Bits[3:0] in this register, and the chip Q ignore is controlled
by Bit 5.
Each DDC channel outputs either two sample streams (I/Q) for
the complex data components (real + imaginary), or one sample
stream for real (I) data. The AD9689 can be configured to use up to
eight virtual converters, depending on the DDC configuration.
The AD9689 contains the following modes:
•
•
Full bandwidth mode: two 14-bit ADC cores running at
full sample rate.
DDC mode: up to four DDC channels.
The I/Q samples are always mapped in pairs with the I samples
mapped to the first virtual converter and the Q samples mapped
to the second virtual converter. With this transport layer mapping,
the number of virtual converters are the same whether a single
real converter is used along with a digital downconverter block
producing I/Q outputs, or whether an analog downconversion
is used with two real converters producing I/Q outputs.
After the chip application mode is selected, the output
decimation ratio is set using the chip decimation ratio in
Register 0x0201, Bits[3:0]. The output sample rate = ADC
sample rate/the chip decimation ratio.
To support the different application layer modes, the AD9689
treats each sample stream (real, I, or Q) as originating from
separate virtual converters.
Figure 103 shows a block diagram of the two scenarios
described for I/Q transport layer mapping.

Enable the sample clock to the device.
Configure the mode registers as follows:
a. Set the device index to Channel A (I path)
(Register 0x0008 = 0x01).
b. Set the I path mode (I mode) and gain in
Register 0x0DF8 and Register 0x0DF9 (see Table 12
and Table 13).
c. Set the device index to Channel B (Q path)
(Register 0x0008 = 0x02).
d. Set the Q path mode (Q mode) and gain in
Register 0x0DF8 and Register 0x0DF9.
Wait at least 5 μs to allow the programmable filter to power up.
Program the I path coefficients to the internal shadow
registers as follows:
a. Set the device index to Channel A (I path)
(Register 0x0008 = 0x01).
b. Program the XI coefficients in Register 0x0E00 to
Register 0x0E7F (see Table 14 and Table 15).
c. Program the YI coefficients in Register 0x0F00 to
Register 0x0E7F (see Table 14 and Table 15).
d. Program the tapped delay in Register 0x0F30 (note
that this step is optional).

AD9689
Data Sheet
DIGITAL DOWNCONVERTER (DDC)
The AD9689 includes four digital downconverters (DDC0 to
DDC3) that provide filtering and reduce the output data rate. This
digital processing section includes an NCO, multiple decimating
FIR filters, a gain stage, and a complex to real conversion stage.
Each of these processing blocks has control lines that allow it to be
independently enabled and disabled to provide the desired
processing function. The digital downconverter can be configured
to output either real data or complex output data.
DDC GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The DDCs output a 16-bit stream. To enable this operation, the
converter number of bits, N, is set to a default value of 16, even
though the analog core only outputs 14 bits. In full bandwidth
operation, the ADC outputs are the 14-bit word followed by two
zeros, unless the tail bits are enabled.
•
•
•
•
DDC I/Q INPUT SELECTION
The AD9689 has two ADC channels and four DDC channels.
Each DDC channel has two input ports that can be paired to
support both real and complex inputs through the I/Q crossbar
mux. For real signals, both DDC input ports must select the
same ADC channel (that is, DDC Input Port I = ADC Channel A
and DDC Input Port Q = ADC Channel A). For complex
signals, each DDC input port must select different ADC
channels (that is, DDC Input Port I = ADC Channel A and
DDC Input Port Q = ADC Channel B).
The inputs to each DDC are controlled by the DDC input selection registers (Register 0x0311, Register 0x0331, Register 0x0351,
and Register 0x0371). See Table 48 and Table 50 for information
on how to configure the DDCs.
DDC I/Q OUTPUT SELECTION
Each DDC channel has two output ports that can be paired to
support both real and complex outputs. For real output signals,
only the DDC Output Port I is used (the DDC Output Port Q is
invalid). For complex I/Q output signals, both DDC Output
Port I and DDC Output Port Q are used.
The I/Q outputs to each DDC channel are controlled by the
DDCx complex to real enable bit, Bit 3, in the DDCx control
registers (Register 0x0310, Register 0x0330, Register 0x0350,
and Register 0x0370).
The chip Q ignore bit in the chip mode register (Register 0x0200,
Bit 5) controls the chip output muxing of all the DDC channels.
When all DDC channels use real outputs, set this bit high to
ignore all DDC Q output ports. When any of the DDC channels
are set to use complex I/Q outputs, the user must clear this bit
to use both DDC Output Port I and DDC Output Port Q. For
more information, see Figure 126.
The four DDC blocks extract a portion of the full digital
spectrum captured by the ADC(s). They are intended for IF
sampling or oversampled baseband radios requiring wide
bandwidth input signals.
Each DDC block contains the following signal processing
stages:
Frequency translation stage (optional)
Filtering stage
Gain stage (optional)
Complex to real conversion stage (optional)
DDC Frequency Translation Stage (Optional)
This stage consists of a phase coherent NCO and quadrature
mixers that can be used for frequency translation of both real or
complex input signals. The phase coherent NCO allows an
infinite number of frequency hops that are all referenced back
to a single synchronization event. It also includes 16 shadow
registers for fast switching applications. This stage shifts a
portion of the available digital spectrum down to baseband.
DDC Filtering Stage
After shifting down to baseband, this stage decimates the
frequency spectrum using multiple low-pass finite impulse
response (FIR) filters for rate conversion. The decimation
process lowers the output data rate, which in turn reduces the
output interface rate.
DDC Gain Stage (Optional)
Because of losses associated with mixing a real input signal
down to baseband, this stage compensates by adding an
additional 0 dB or 6 dB of gain.
DDC Complex to Real Conversion Stage (Optional)
When real outputs are necessary, this stage converts the
complex outputs back to real by performing an fS/4 mixing
operation plus a filter to remove the complex component of the
signal.
Figure 109 shows the detailed block diagram of the DDCs
implemented in the AD9689.
Figure 110 shows an example usage of one of the four DDC
channels with a real input signal and four half-band filters
(HB4 + HB3 + HB2 + HB1) used. It shows both complex
(decimate by 16) and real (decimate by 8) output options.

DDC FREQUENCY TRANSLATION
Variable IF Mode
DDC Frequency Translation General Description
In variable IF mode, the NCO and mixers are enabled. NCO
output frequency can be used to digitally tune the IF frequency.
Frequency translation is accomplished by using a 48-bit
complex NCO with a digital quadrature mixer. This stage
translates either a real or complex input signal from an IF to a
baseband complex digital output (carrier frequency = 0 Hz).
0 Hz IF (ZIF) Mode
In ZIF mode, the mixers are bypassed, and the NCO is disabled.
fS/4 Hz IF Mode
The frequency translation stage of each DDC can be controlled
individually and supports four different IF modes using Bits[5:4]
of the DDCx control registers (Register 0x0310, Register
0x0330, Register 0x0350, and Register 0x0370). These IF modes
are
Test Mode
In test mode, input samples are forced to 0.999 to positive full
scale. The NCO is enabled. This test mode allows the NCOs to
directly drive the decimation filters.

DDC NCO Description
DDC NCO Coherent Mode
Each DDC contains one NCO. Each NCO enables the
frequency translation process by creating a complex exponential
frequency (e-jωct), which can be mixed with the input spectrum
to translate the desired frequency band of interest to dc, where
it can be filtered by the subsequent low-pass filter blocks to
prevent aliasing.
DDC NCO coherent mode allows an infinite number of frequency
hops where the phase is referenced to a single synchronization
event at Time 0. This mode is useful when phase coherency
must be maintained when switching between different frequency
bands. In this mode, the user can switch to any tuning frequency
without the need to reset the NCO. Although only one FTW is
required, the NCO contains 16 shadow registers for fast
switching applications. Selection of the shadow registers is
controlled by the CMOS GPIO pins or through the register map
of the SPI. In this mode, the NCO can be set up by providing
the following:
When placed in variable IF mode, the NCO supports two
additional modes.
DDC NCO Programmable Modulus Mode
DDC NCO programmable modulus mode supports >48-bit
frequency tuning accuracy for applications that require exact
rational (M/N) frequency synthesis at a single carrier frequency.
In this mode, the NCO is set up by providing the following:
48-bit frequency tuning word (FTW)
48-bit Modulus A word (MAW)
48-bit Modulus B word (MBW)
48-bit phase offset word (POW)
Figure 113 shows a block diagram of one NCO and its connection
to the rest of the design. The coherent phase accumulator block
contains the logic that allows an infinite number of frequency
hops. The gray lines in Figure 113 represent SPI control lines.

NCO FTW/POW/MAW/MAB Description
The NCO frequency value is determined by the following settings:
floor(x) is defined as the largest integer less than or equal to x.
For example, floor(3.6) = 3.
•
•
•
Note that Equation 1 to Equation 4 apply to the aliasing of
signals in the digital domain (that is, aliasing introduced when
digitizing analog signals).
48-bit twos complement number entered in the FTW.
48-bit unsigned number entered in the MAW.
48-bit unsigned number entered in the MBW.
M and N are integers reduced to their lowest terms. MAW and
MBW are integers reduced to their lowest terms. When MAW is
set to zero, the programmable modulus logic is automatically
disabled.
Frequencies between −fS/2 and +fS/2 (fS/2 excluded) are
represented using the following values:
•
•
•
FTW = 0x8000 0000 0000 and MAW = 0x0000 0000 0000
represents a frequency of −fS/2.
FTW = 0x0000 0000 0000 and MAW = 0x0000 0000 0000
represents dc (frequency is 0 Hz).
FTW = 0x7FFF FFFF FFFF and MAW = 0x0000 0000 0000
represents a frequency of +fS/2.
For example, if the ADC sampling frequency (fS) is 2600 MSPS
and the carrier frequency (fC) is 1001.5 MHz, then
mod(1001.5, 2600)
2600
In programmable modulus mode, the FTW, MAW, and MBW
must satisfy the following four equations (for a detailed
description of the programmable modulus feature, see the DDS
architecture described in the AN-953 Application Note):

MAW = mod(248 × 2003, 5200) = 0x0000 0000 0300
MBW = 0x0000 0000 1450
The actual carrier frequency (fC_ACTUAL) can be calculated based
on the following equation:
f C _ ACTUAL =
MBW = N
(4)
where:
fC is the desired carrier frequency.
fS is the ADC sampling frequency.
M is the integer representing the rational numerator of the
frequency ratio.
N is the integer representing the rational denominator of the
frequency ratio.
FTW is the 48-bit twos complement number representing the
NCO FTW.
MAW is the 48-bit unsigned number representing the NCO
MAW (must be 48 bits is required.
One example of a rational frequency synthesis requirement that
requires >48 bits of accuracy is a carrier frequency of 1/3 the
sample rate. When frequency accuracy of ≤48 bits is required,
coherent mode must be used (see the NCO FTW/POW/MAW/
MAB Coherent Mode section).

A 48-bit POW is available for each NCO to create a known
phase relationship between multiple chips or individual DDC
channels inside the chip.
While in programmable modulus mode, the FTW and POW
registers can be updated at any time while still maintaining
deterministic phase results in the NCO. However, the following
procedure must be followed to update the MAW and/or MBW
registers to ensure proper operation of the NCO:

For coherent mode, the NCO MAW must be set to zero

where:
FTW is the 48-bit twos complement number representing the
NCO FTW.
fC is the desired carrier frequency.
fS is the ADC sampling frequency.
mod(x) is a remainder function. For example mod(110,100) =
10 and for negative numbers, mod(−32,10) = −2.
round(x) is a rounding function. For example round(3.6) = 4
and for negative numbers, round(−3.4)= −3.
Note that Equation 5 applies to the aliasing of signals in the
digital domain (that is, aliasing introduced when digitizing
analog signals). The MAW must be set to zero to use coherent
mode. When MAW is zero, the programmable modulus logic is
automatically disabled.
For example, if the ADC sampling frequency (fS) is 2600 MSPS
and the carrier frequency (fC) is 416.667 MHz, then
mod(416.667,2600)
NCO _ FTW = round 248

A 48-bit POW is available for each NCO to create a known
phase relationship between multiple chips or individual DDC
channels inside the chip.
While in coherent mode, the FTW and POW registers can be
updated at any time while still maintaining deterministic phase
results in the NCO.
NCO Channel Selection
When configured in coherent mode, only one FTW is required
in the NCO. In this mode, the user can switch to any tuning
frequency without the need to reset the NCO by writing to the
FTW directly. However, for fast switching applications, where
either all FTWs are known beforehand or it is possible to queue
up the next set of FTWs, the NCO contains 16 additional
shadow registers (see Figure 113). These shadow registers are
hereafter referred to as the NCO channels.
Figure 114 shows a simplified block diagram of the NCO
channel selection block. The gray lines in Figure 114 represent
SPI control lines.
Only one NCO channel is active at a time and NCO channel
selection is controlled either by the CMOS GPIO pins or
through the register map.
Each NCO channel selector supports three different modes, as
described in the following sections.
The actual carrier frequency can be calculated based on the
following equation:

GPIO Level Control Mode
The GPIO pins determine the exact NCO channel selected.
The following procedure must be followed to use GPIO level
control for NCO channel selection:
2.
3.
Configure one or more GPIO pins as NCO channel
selection inputs. GPIO pins not configured as NCO
channel selection are internally tied low.
a. To use GPIO_A0, write Bits[2:0] in Register 0x0040 to
0x6 and Bits[3:0] in Register 0x0041 to 0x0.
b. To use GPIO_B0, write Bits[5:3] in Register 0x0040 to
0x6 and Bits [7:4] in Register 0x0041 to 0x0.
Configure the NCO channel selector in GPIO level control
mode by setting Bits[7:4] in the NCO control registers
(Register 0x0314, Register 0x0334, Register 0x0354, and
Register 0x0374) to 0x1 through 0x6, depending on the
desired GPIO pin ordering.
Select the desired NCO channel through the GPIO pins.
GPIO Edge Control Mode
A low to high transition on a single GPIO pin determines the
exact NCO channel selected. The internal channel selection
counter is reset by either SYSREF± or the DDC soft reset.
The following procedure must be followed to use GPIO edge
control for NCO channel selection:
1.
Configure one or more GPIO pins as NCO channel
selection inputs.
a. To use GPIO_A0, write Bits[2:0] in Register 0x0040 to
0x6 and Bits[3:0] in Register 0x0041 to 0x0.
b. To use GPIO_B0, write Bits[5:3] in Register 0x0040 to
0x6 and Bits[7:4] in Register 0x0041 to 0x0.

4.
Register Map Mode
NCO channel selection is controlled directly through the
register map.
Figure 115 shows an example use case for coherent mode using
three NCO channels. In this example, NCO Channel 0 is actively
downconverting Bandwidth 0 (B0), while NCO Channel 1 and
Channel 2 are in standby mode and are tuned to Bandwidth 1
and Bandwidth 2 (B1 and B2), respectively.
The phase coherent NCO switching feature allows an infinite
number of frequency hops that are all phase coherent. The
initial phase of the NCO is established at time, t0, from
SYSREF± synchronization. Switching the NCO FTW does not
affect the phase. With this feature, only one FTW is required,
but all 16 channels can be used to queue the next hop.
After SYSREF± synchronization at startup, all NCOs across
multiple chips are inherently synchronized.

Register 0x0374) to 0x8 through 0xB, depending on the

Configure the wrap point for the NCO channel selection
by setting Bits[3:0] in the NCO control registers
(Register 0x0314, Register 0x0334, Register 0x0354, and
Register 0x0374). A value of 4 causes the channel selection
to wrap at Channel 4 (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on).
Transition the selected GPIO pin from low to high to
increment the NCO channel selection.

Setting Up the Multichannel NCO Feature
NCO Synchronization
The first step to configure the multichannel NCO is to program
the FTWs. The AD9689 memory map has an FTW index
register for each DDC. This index determines which NCO
channel receives the FTW from the register map. The following
sequence describes the method for programming the FTWs:
Each NCO contains a separate phase accumulator word (PAW).
The initial reset value of each PAW is set to zero and incremented
every clock cycle. The instantaneous phase of the NCO is
calculated using the PAW, FTW, MAW, MBW, and POW. Due to
this architecture, the FTW and POW registers can be updated at
any time while still maintaining deterministic phase results in
the PAW of the NCO.
1.
2.
3.
Write the FTW index register with the desired DDC channel.
Write the FTW with the desired value. This value is applied
to the NCO channel index mentioned in Step 1.
Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 for other NCO channels.
After setting the FTWs, the user must then select an active
NCO channel. This selection can be performed either through
the SPI registers or through the external GPIO pins. The following
sequence describes the method for selecting the active NCO
channel using the SPI:
1.
2.
Set the NCO channel select mode bits (Bits[7:4] in
Register 0x0314, Register 0x0334, Register 0x0354, and
Register 0x0374) to 0x0 to enable SPI selection.
Choose the active NCO channel using Bits[3:0] in
Register 0x0314, Register 0x0334, Register 0x0354,
and Register 0x0374.
Two methods can be used to synchronize multiple PAWs within
the chip:
•
•
The following sequence describes the method for selecting the
active NCO channel using the GPIO CMOS pins:
1.
2.
3.
Set the NCO channel select mode bits (Bits[7:4] in
Register 0x0314, Register 0x0334, Register 0x0354, and
Register 0x0374) to a nonzero value to enable GPIO pin
selection.
Configure the GPIO pins as NCO channel selection inputs
by writing to Register 0x0040, Register 0x0041, and
Register 0x0042.
NCO switching is performed by externally controlling the
GPIO CMOS pins.
Using the SPI. Use the DDC soft reset bit in the DDC
synchronization control register (Register 0x0300, Bit 4) to
reset all the PAWs in the chip. This reset is accomplished
by setting the DDC soft reset bit high, and then setting this
bit low. Note that this method can only be used to
synchronize DDC channels within the same chip.
Using the SYSREF± pin. When the SYSREF± pin is enabled
in the SYSREF control registers (Register 0x0120 and
Register 0x0121), and the DDC synchronization is enabled
in the DDC synchronization control register (Register 0x0300,
Bits[1:0]), any subsequent SYSREF± event resets all the
PAWs in the chip. Note that this method can be used to
synchronize DDC channels within the same chip or DDC
channels within separate chips.
NCO Multichip Synchronization
In some applications, it is necessary to synchronize all the
NCOs and local multiframe clocks (LMFCs) within multiple
devices in a system. For applications requiring multiple NCO
tuning frequencies in the system, a designer is likely to need to
generate a single SYSREF pulse at all devices simultaneously. For
many systems, generating or receiving a single-shot SYSREF
pulse at all devices is challenging because of the following
factors:
•
•
Enabling or disabling the SYSREF pulse is often an
asynchronous event.
Not all clock generation chips support this feature.
For these reasons, the AD9689 contains a synchronization
triggering mechanism that allows the following:

system startup.

The synchronization triggering mechanism uses a master/slave
arrangement, as shown in Figure 116.

Each device has an internal next synchronization trigger enable
(NSTE) signal that controls whether the next SYSREF signal
causes a synchronization event. Slave ADC devices must source
their NSTE from an external slave next trigger input (SNTI) pin.
Master devices can either use an external master next trigger
output (MNTO) pin (default setting), or use an external SNTI pin.
See Table 47 (Register 0x0041 and Register 0x0042) to configure
the FD_x/GPIO pins for this operation.

When mixing a complex input signal (where I and Q DDC
inputs come from the different ADCs) down to baseband, the
maximum value each I/Q sample is able to reach is 1.414 × full
scale, after the sample passes through the complex mixer. To
avoid overrange of the I/Q samples and to keep the data bit
widths aligned with real mixing, −3.06 dB of loss is introduced
in the mixer for complex signals. An additional −0.05 dB of loss
is introduced by the NCO. The total loss of a complex input
signal mixed down to baseband is −3.11 dB.
DDC Mixer Description
When not bypassed (Register 0x0200 ≠ 0x00), the digital
quadrature mixer performs a similar operation to an analog
quadrature mixer. It performs the downconversion of input
signals (real or complex) by using the NCO frequency as a local
oscillator. For real input signals, a real mixer operation (with
two multipliers) is performed. For complex input signals, a
complex mixer operation (with four multipliers and two adders)
is performed. The selection of real or complex inputs can be
controlled individually for each DDC block using Bit 7 of the
DDC control registers (Register 0x0310, Register 0x0330,
Register 0x0350, and Register 0x0370).
The worst case spurious signal from the NCO is greater than
102 dBc SFDR for all output frequencies.
DDC DECIMATION FILTERS
DDC NCO + Mixer Loss and SFDR
After the frequency translation stage, there are multiple
decimation filter stages that reduce the output data rate. After
the carrier of interest is tuned down to dc (carrier frequency =
0 Hz), these filters efficiently lower the sample rate, while
providing sufficient alias rejection from unwanted adjacent
carriers around the bandwidth of interest.
When mixing a real input signal down to baseband, −6 dB of
loss is introduced in the signal due to filtering of the negative
image. An additional −0.05 dB of loss is introduced by the NCO.
The total loss of a real input signal mixed down to baseband is
−6.05 dB. For this reason, it is recommended that the user
compensate for this loss by enabling the 6 dB of gain in the gain
stage of the DDC to recenter the dynamic range of the signal
within the full scale of the output bits (see the DDC Gain Stage
(Optional) section).
Figure 118 shows a simplified block diagram of the decimation
filter stage, and Table 16 describes the filter characteristics of
the different finite impulse response (FIR) filter blocks.
Table 17 shows the different filter configurations selectable by
including different filters. In all cases, the DDC filtering stage
provides 80% of the available output bandwidth, 100 dB of stop band alias rejection.

DDC GAIN STAGE
DDC COMPLEX TO REAL CONVERSION
Each DDC contains an independently controlled gain stage.
The gain is selectable as either 0 dB or 6 dB. When mixing a real
input signal down to baseband, it is recommended that the user
enable the 6 dB of gain to recenter the dynamic range of the
signal within the full scale of the output bits.
Each DDC contains an independently controlled complex to
real conversion block. The complex to real conversion block
reuses the last filter (HB1 FIR) in the filtering stage along with
an fS/4 complex mixer to upconvert the signal. After upconverting
the signal, the Q portion of the complex mixer is no longer
needed and is dropped. The TB1 filter does not support
complex to real conversion.
When mixing a complex input signal down to baseband, the
mixer has already recentered the dynamic range of the signal
within the full scale of the output bits, and no additional gain is
necessary. However, the optional 6 dB gain compensates for low
signal strengths. The downsample by 2 portion of the HB1 FIR
filter is bypassed when using the complex to real conversion
stage. The TB1 filter does not have the 6 dB gain stage.

DDC MIXED DECIMATION SETTINGS
The AD9689 also supports DDCs with different decimation
rates. In this scenario, the chip decimation ratio must be set to
the lowest decimation ratio of all the DDC channels. Samples of
higher decimation ratio DDCs are repeated to match the chip
decimation ratio sample rate. Only mixed decimation ratios that
are integer multiples of 2 are supported. For example, decimate
by 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 can be mixed together; decimate by 3, 6, 12,
24, or 48 can be mixed together; or decimate by 5, 10, 20, or 40
can be mixed together.
Table 25 shows the DDC sample mapping when the chip
decimation ratio is different than the DDC decimation ratio.
For example, if the chip decimation ratio is set to decimate by 4,
DDC0 is set to use the HB2 + HB1 filters (complex outputs are
decimate by 4) and DDC1 is set to use the HB4 + HB3 + HB2 +
HB1 filters (real outputs are decimate by 8), then DDC1 repeats
its output data two times for every one DDC0 output. The
resulting output samples are shown in Table 26.

SIGNAL MONITOR
The signal monitor block provides additional information about
the signal being digitized by the ADC. The signal monitor
computes the peak magnitude of the digitized signal. This
information can be used to drive an AGC loop to optimize the
range of the ADC in the presence of real-world signals.
The results of the signal monitor block can be obtained either
by reading back the internal values from the SPI port or by
embedding the signal monitoring information into the JESD204B
interface as separate control bits. A global, 24-bit programmable
period controls the duration of the measurement. Figure 127
shows the simplified block diagram of the signal monitor block.

The peak detector captures the largest signal within the
observation period. The detector only observes the magnitude
of the signal. The resolution of the peak detector is a 13-bit
value, and the observation period is 24 bits and represents
converter output samples. The peak magnitude can be derived
by using the following equation:
The magnitude of the input port signal is monitored over a
programmable time period, which is determined by the signal
monitor period register (SMPR). The peak detector function is
enabled by setting Bit 1 in the signal monitor control register
(Register 0x0270). The 24-bit SMPR must be programmed
before activating this mode.
After enabling peak detection mode, the value in the SMPR is
loaded into a monitor period timer, which decrements at the
decimated clock rate. The magnitude of the input signal is
compared with the value in the internal magnitude storage
register (not accessible to the user), and the greater of the two
is updated as the current peak level. The initial value of the
magnitude storage register is set to the current ADC input signal
magnitude. This comparison continues until the monitor period
timer reaches a count of 1.
When the monitor period timer reaches a count of 1, the 13-bit
peak level value is transferred to the signal monitor holding
register, which can be read through the memory map or output
through the SPORT over the JESD204B interface. The monitor
period timer is reloaded with the value in the SMPR, and the
countdown restarts. In addition, the magnitude of the first
input sample updates in the magnitude storage register, and the
comparison and update procedure, as explained previously,
continues.

SPORT OVER JESD204B
If only one control bit is to be inserted (CS = 1), only the most
significant control bit is used (see Example Configuration 1 and
Example Configuration 2 in Figure 128). To select the SPORT
over JESD204B option, program Register 0x0559,
Register 0x055A, and Register 0x058F. See Table 51 for more
information on setting these registers.
The signal monitor data can also be serialized and sent over the
JESD204B interface as control bits. These control bits must be
deserialized from the samples to reconstruct the statistical data.
The signal control monitor function is enabled by setting Bits[1:0]
of Register 0x0279 and Bit 1 of Register 0x027A. Figure 128 shows
two different example configurations for the signal monitor
control bit locations inside the JESD204B samples. A maximum
of three control bits can be inserted into the JESD204B samples;
however, only one control bit is required for the signal monitor.
Control bits are inserted from MSB to LSB.
Figure 129 shows the 25-bit frame data that encapsulates the
peak detector value. The frame data is transmitted MSB first
with five 5-bit subframes. Each subframe contains a start bit
that can be used by a receiver to validate the deserialized data.
Figure 130 shows the SPORT over JESD204B signal monitor
data with a monitor period timer set to 80 samples.

AD9689
DIGITAL OUTPUTS
INTRODUCTION TO THE JESD204B INTERFACE
•
The AD9689 digital outputs are designed to the JEDEC standard
JESD204B, serial interface for data converters. JESD204B is a
protocol to link the AD9689 to a digital processing device over a
serial interface with lane rates of up to 16 Gbps. The benefits of
the JESD204B interface over LVDS include a reduction in
required board area for data interface routing and an ability to
enable smaller packages for converter and logic devices.
•
•
•
JESD204B OVERVIEW
The JESD204B data transmit block assembles the parallel data
from the ADC into frames and uses 8-bit/10-bit encoding as
well as optional scrambling to form serial output data. Lane
synchronization is supported through the use of separate
control characters during the initial establishment of the link.
Additional control characters are embedded in the data stream
to maintain synchronization thereafter. A JESD204B receiver is
required to complete the serial link. For additional details on
the JESD204B interface, refer to the JESD204B standard.
The AD9689 JESD204B data transmit block maps up to two
physical ADCs or up to eight virtual converters (when DDCs are
enabled) over a link. A link can be configured to use one, two,
four, or eight JESD204B lanes. The JESD204B specification refers
to a number of parameters to define the link, and these parameters
must match between the JESD204B transmitter (the AD9689
output) and the JESD204B receiver (the logic device input).
The JESD204B link is described according to the following
parameters:
•
•
•
•
•
L is the number of lanes per converter device (lanes per
link); AD9689 value = 1, 2, 4, or 8.
M is the number of converters per converter device (virtual
converters per link); AD9689 value = 1, 2, 4, or 8.
F is the octets per frame; AD9689 value = 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16.
N΄ is the number of bits per sample (JESD204B word size);
AD9689 value = 8 or 16.
N is the converter resolution; AD9689 value = 7 to 16.
CS is the number of control bits per sample;
AD9689 value = 0, 1, 2, or 3.
Figure 131 shows a simplified block diagram of the AD9689
JESD204B link. By default, the AD9689 is configured to use
two converters and eight lanes. Converter A data is output to
SERDOUT0±, SERDOUT1±, SERDOUT2± and SERDOUT3±;
and Converter B is output to SERDOUT4±, SERDOUT5±,
SERDOUT6±, and SERDOUT7±. The AD9689 allows other
configurations, such as combining the outputs of both
converters onto a single lane, or changing the mapping of the
A and B digital output paths. These modes are set up via the SPI
register map, along with additional customizable options.
By default in the AD9689, the 14-bit converter word from each
converter is broken into two octets (eight bits of data). Bit 13
(MSB) through Bit 6 are in the first octet. The second octet
contains Bit 5 through Bit 0 (LSB) and two tail bits. The tail bits
can be configured as zeros or as a pseudorandom number
sequence. The tail bits can also be replaced with control bits
indicating overrange, SYSREF±, or fast detect output.
The two resulting octets can be scrambled. Scrambling is
optional; however, it is recommended to avoid spectral peaks
when transmitting similar digital data patterns. The scrambler
uses a self synchronizing, polynomial-based algorithm defined
by the equation 1 + x14 + x15. The descrambler in the receiver is
a self synchronizing version of the scrambler polynomial.
The two octets are then encoded with an 8-bit/10-bit encoder. The
8-bit/10-bit encoder works by taking eight bits of data (an octet)
and encoding them into a 10-bit symbol. Figure 132 shows how
the 14-bit data is taken from the ADC, how the tail bits are added,
how the two octets are scrambled, and how the octets are encoded
into two 10-bit symbols. Figure 132 shows the default data format.

Figure 133. Data Flow
FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
Physical Layer
The block diagram in Figure 133 shows the flow of data through
the JESD204B hardware from the sample input to the physical
output. The processing can be divided into layers that are
derived from the open-source initiative (OSI) model widely
used to describe the abstraction layers of communications
systems. These layers are the transport layer, data link layer,
and physical layer (serializer and output driver).
The physical layer consists of the high speed circuitry clocked at
the serial clock rate. In this layer, parallel data is converted into
one, two, four, or eight lanes of high speed differential serial data.
Transport Layer
The transport layer handles packing the data (consisting of
samples and optional control bits) into JESD204B frames that
are mapped to 8-bit octets. These octets are sent to the data link
layer. The transport layer mapping is controlled by rules derived
from the link parameters. Tail bits are added to fill gaps where
required. The following equation can be used to determine the
number of tail bits within a sample (JESD204B word):
T = N΄ − N − CS
Data Link Layer
The data link layer is responsible for the low level functions
of passing data across the link. These functions include optionally
scrambling the data, inserting control characters for multichip
synchronization/lane alignment/monitoring, and encoding
8-bit octets into 10-bit symbols. The data link layer is also
responsible for sending the initial lane alignment sequence
(ILAS), which contains the link configuration data used by the
receiver to verify the settings in the transport layer.
JESD204B LINK ESTABLISHMENT
The AD9689 JESD204B transmitter (Tx) interface operates in
Subclass 1 as defined in the JEDEC Standard JESD204B
(July 2011 specification). The link establishment process is
divided into the following steps: code group synchronization
(CGS) and SYNCINB±, initial lane alignment sequence, and user
data and error correction.
CGS and SYNCINB±
CGS is the process in which the JESD204B receiver finds the
boundaries between the 10-bit symbols in the stream of data.
During the CGS phase, the JESD204B transmit block transmits
/K28.5/ characters. The receiver must locate /K28.5/ characters
in its input data stream using clock and data recovery (CDR)
techniques.
The receiver issues a synchronization request by asserting the
SYNCINB± pin of the AD9689 low. The JESD204B Tx then begins
sending /K/ characters. After the receiver synchronizes, it waits for
the correct reception of at least four consecutive /K/ symbols. It
then deasserts SYNCINB±. The AD9689 then transmits an ILAS
on the following LMFC boundary.
For more information on the code group synchronization
phase, refer to the JEDEC Standard JESD204B, July 2011,
Section 5.3.3.1.
Rev. A | Page 72 of 134
Data Sheet
AD9689
User Data and Error Detection
After the initial lane alignment sequence completes, the user
data is sent. Normally, within a frame, all characters are considered
to be user data. However, to monitor the frame clock and
multiframe clock synchronization, there is a mechanism for
replacing characters with /F/ or /A/ alignment characters when
the data meets certain conditions. These conditions are
different for unscrambled and scrambled data. The scrambling
operation is enabled by default; however, it can be disabled
using the SPI.
The SYNCINB± pin operation can also be controlled by the
SPI. The SYNCINB± signal is a differential dc-coupled LVDS
mode signal by default, but it can also be driven single-ended.
For more information on configuring the SYNCINB± pin
operation, refer to Register 0x0572.
The SYNCINB± pins can also be configured to run in CMOS
(single-ended) mode, by setting Bit 4 in Register 0x0572. When
running SYNCINB± in CMOS mode, connect the CMOS
SYNCINB signal to Pin N13 (SYNCINB+) and leave Pin P13
(SYNCINB−) floating.
For scrambled data, any 0xFC character at the end of a frame
is replaced by an /F/, and any 0x7C character at the end of a
multiframe is replaced by an /A/. The JESD204B receiver (Rx)
checks for /F/ and /A/ characters in the received data stream
and verifies that they only occur in the expected locations. If an
unexpected /F/ or /A/ character is found, the receiver handles
the situation by using dynamic realignment or asserting the
SYNCINB± signal for more than four frames to initiate a
resynchronization. For unscrambled data, if the final character
of two subsequent frames is equal, the second character is
replaced with an /F/ if it is at the end of a frame, and an /A/ if
it is at the end of a multiframe.
Initial Lane Alignment Sequence (ILAS)
The ILAS phase follows the CGS phase and begins on the next
LMFC boundary. The ILAS consists of four multiframes, with
an /R/ character marking the beginning and an /A/ character
marking the end. The ILAS begins by sending an /R/ character
followed by 0 to 255 ramp data for one multiframe. On the
second multiframe, the link configuration data is sent, starting
with the third character. The second character is a /Q/ character
to confirm that the link configuration data is to follow. All
undefined data slots are filled with ramp data. The ILAS
sequence is never scrambled.
The ILAS sequence construction is shown in Figure 134. The
four multiframes include the following:
•
Insertion of alignment characters can be modified using the
SPI. The frame alignment character insertion (FACI) is enabled
by default. More information on the link controls is available in
the Memory Map section, Register 0x0571.
Multiframe 1 begins with an /R/ character (/K28.0/) and
ends with an /A/ character (/K28.3/).
Multiframe 2 begins with an /R/ character followed by a
/Q/ character (/K28.4/), followed by link configuration
parameters over 14 configuration octets (see Table 30) and
ends with an /A/ character. Many of the parameter values
are of the value − 1 notation.
Multiframe 3 begins with an /R/ character (/K28.0/) and
ends with an /A/ character (/K28.3/).
Multiframe 4 begins with an /R/ character (/K28.0/) and
ends with an /A/ character (/K28.3/).

8-Bit/10-Bit Encoder
The 8-bit/10-bit encoder converts 8-bit octets into 10-bit symbols
and inserts control characters into the stream when needed.
The control characters used in JESD204B are shown in Table 30.
The 8-bit/10-bit encoding ensures that the signal is dc balanced by
using the same number of ones and zeros across multiple symbols.
The 8-bit/10-bit interface has options that can be controlled via
the SPI. These operations include bypass and invert, and are
troubleshooting tools for the verification of the digital front end
(DFE). See the Memory Map section, Register 0x0572, Bits[2:1]
for information on configuring the 8-bit/10-bit encoder.

Place a 100 Ω differential termination resistor at each receiver
input to result in a nominal 0.85 × DRVDD1 V p-p swing at the
receiver (see Figure 135). The swing is adjustable through the
SPI registers. AC coupling is recommended to connect to the
receiver. See the Memory Map section (Register 0x05C0 to
Register 0x05C3 in Table 51) for more details.
The AD9689 digital outputs can interface with custom
application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and field
programmable gate array (FPGA) receivers, providing superior
switching performance in noisy environments. Single point to
point network topologies are recommended with a single
differential 100 Ω termination resistor placed as close to the
receiver inputs as possible.
If there is no far end receiver termination, or if there is poor
differential trace routing, timing errors can result. To avoid such
timing errors, it is recommended that the trace length be less
than six inches, and that the differential output traces be close
together and at equal lengths.

Figure 136 to Figure 138 show an example of the digital output
data eye, jitter histogram, and bathtub curve for one AD9689
lane running at 16 Gbps. The format of the output data is twos
complement by default. To change the output data format, see
the Memory Map section (Register 0x0561 in Table 51).

The AD9689 physical layer consists of drivers that are defined in
the JEDEC Standard JESD204B, July 2011. The differential digital
outputs are powered up by default. The drivers use a dynamic
100 Ω internal termination to reduce unwanted reflections.

De-Emphasis
De-emphasis enables the receiver eye diagram mask to be met
in conditions where the interconnect insertion loss does not
meet the JESD204B specification. Use the de-emphasis feature
only when the receiver is unable to recover the clock due to
excessive insertion loss. Under normal conditions, it is disabled
to conserve power. Additionally, enabling and setting too high a
de-emphasis value on a short link can cause the receiver eye
diagram to fail. Use the de-emphasis setting with caution
because it can increase electromagnetic interference (EMI). See
the Memory Map section (Register 0x05C4 to Register 0x05CB
in Table 51) for more details.
Phase-Locked Loop (PLL)
The PLL generates the serializer clock, which operates at the
JESD204B lane rate. The status of the PLL lock can be checked
in the PLL locked status bit (Register 0x056F, Bit 7). This read
only bit notifies the user if the PLL achieved a lock for the
specific setup. Register 0x056F also has a loss of lock (LOL)
sticky bit (Bit 3) that notifies the user that a LOL is detected. The
sticky bit can be reset by issuing a JESD204B link restart
(Register 0x0571 = 0x15, followed by Register 0x0571 = 0x14).
Refer to Table 32 for the reinitialization of the link following a
link power cycle.
The JESD204B lane rate control, Bits[7:4] of Register 0x056E,
must be set to correspond with the lane rate. Table 31 shows the
lane rates supported by the AD9689 using Register 0x056E.

fS × 4 MODE
fS × 4 mode adds a separate packing mode to a JESD204B
transmitter/receiver to set the serial lane rate at four times the
sample rate (fS).
•
•
•
In fS × 4 mode, five 12-bit ADC samples (along with an extra
4 bits) are packed into four 16-bit JESD204B samples to create a
64-bit frame.
The following SPI writes are necessary to place the device in fS × 4
mode:

Register 0x058B = 0x0F. This setting places the device
CS = 0, N' = 16 mode.
Register 0x058F = 0x2F. This setting places the device in
Subclass 1 mode, N = 16.
The transmit architecture of fS × 4 mode is shown in Figure 139,
and the receive portion is shown in Figure 140. fS × 4 mode only
works in full bandwidth mode (Register 0x0200 = 0x00).
However, CF = 2 is not supported by the design; therefore, the

SETTING UP THE AD9689 DIGITAL INTERFACE
To ensure proper operation of the AD9689 at startup, some SPI
writes are required to initialize the link. Additionally, these
registers must be written every time the ADC is reset. Any one
of the following resets warrants the initialization routine for the
digital interface:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Hard reset, as with power-up.
Power-up using the PDWN pin.
Power-up using the SPI via Register 0x0002, Bits[1:0].
SPI soft reset by setting Register 0x0000 = 0x81.
Datapath soft reset by setting Register 0x0001 = 0x02.
JESD204B link power cycle by setting Register 0x0571 =
0x15, then 0x14.
The initialization SPI writes are as shown in Table 32.

The AD9689 has one JESD204B link. The serial outputs
(SERDOUT0± to SERDOUT7±) are considered to be part of
one JESD204B link. The basic parameters that determine the
link setup are
•
•
•
Number of lanes per link (L)
Number of converters per link (M)
Number of octets per frame (F)
The maximum lane rate allowed by the AD9689 is 16 Gbps. The
lane rate is related to the JESD204B parameters using the
following equation:
10
M × N ' × × f OUT
8
Lane Rate =
L
where fOUT =
f ADC _ CLOCK
Decimation Ratio
The decimation ratio (DCM) is the parameter programmed in
Register 0x0201.
Use the following procedure to configure the output:

0x1222
0x1222
0x1222
0x1262

If the internal DDCs are used for on-chip digital processing, M
represents the number of virtual converters. The virtual converter
mapping setup is shown in Figure 102.

Power down the link.
Select the JESD204B link configuration options.
Configure the detailed options.
Set output lane mapping (optional).
Set additional driver configuration options (optional).
Power up the link.
Initialize the JESD204B link by issuing the commands
described in Table 32.
If the lane rate calculated is less than 6.25 Gbps, select the low
lane rate option by programming a value of 0x10 to
Register 0x056E.
Table 33 and Table 35 show the JESD204B output configurations
supported for both N΄ = 16 and N΄ = 8 for a given number of
virtual converters. Take care to ensure that the serial lane rate
for a given configuration is within the supported range of
3.4 Gbps to 16 Gbps.

Due to the internal clock requirements, only certain decimation rates are supported for certain link parameters.
JESD204B transport layer descriptions are as follows: L is the number of lanes per converter device (lanes per link); M is the number of virtual converters per converter
device (virtual converters per link); F is the octets per frame; S is the samples transmitted per virtual converter per frame cycle; HD is the high density mode; N is the
virtual converter resolution (in bits); N' is the total number of bits per sample (JESD204B word size); CS is the number of control bits per conversion sample; K is the
number of frames per multiframe.

fADC_CLK is the ADC sample rate; DCM = chip decimation ratio; fOUT is the output sample rate = fADC_CLK/DCM; SLR is the JESD204B serial lane rate. The following
equations must be met due to internal clock divider requirements: SLR ≥1.6875 Gbps and SLR ≤15.5 Gbps; SLR/40 ≤ fADC_CLK; least common multiple (20 × DCM ×
fOUT/SLR, DCM) ≤64. When the SLR is ≤16000 Mbps and >13500 Mbps, Register 0x056E must be set to 0x30. When the SLR is ≤13500 Mbps and ≥6750 Mbps,
Register 0x056E must be set to 0x00. When the SLR is < 6750 Mbps and ≥ 3375 Mbps, Register 0x056E must be set to 0x10. When the SLR is 13500 Mbps, Register 0x056E must be set to 0x30. When the SLR is ≤13500 Mbps and ≥6750 Mbps,
Register 0x056E must be set to 0x00. When the SLR is
