AD9779
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9779 combines many features which make it make it a very attractive DAC for wired and wireless communications systems. The dual digital signal path and dual DAC structure allow an easy interface with common quadrature modulators when designing single sideband transmitters. The speed and performance of the AD9779 allow wider bandwidths/more carriers to be synthesized than with previously available DACs. The digital engine in the AD9779 uses a breakthrough filter architecture that combines the interpolation with a digital quadrature modulator. This allows the AD9779 to do digital quadrature frequency up conversion. The AD9779 also has features which allow simplified synchronization with incoming data, and also allows multiple AD9779s to be synchronized.
Preliminary Technical Data
The remaining SCLK edges are for Phase 2 of the communication cycle. Phase 2 is the actual data transfer between the AD9779 and the system controller. Phase 2 of the communication cycle is a transfer of 1, 2, 3, or 4 data bytes as determined by the instruction byte. Using one multibyte transfer is the preferred method. Single byte data transfers are useful to reduce CPU overhead when register access requires one byte only. Registers change immediately upon writing to the last bit of each transfer byte.

Figure 24. AD9779 SPI Port
The AD9779 serial port is a flexible, synchronous serial communications port allowing easy interface to many industrystandard 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 AD9779. Single or multiple byte transfers are supported, as well as MSB first or LSB first transfer formats. The AD9779’s serial interface port can be configured as a single pin I/O (SDIO) or two unidirectional pins for in/out (SDIO/SDO).
R/W, Bit 7 of the instruction byte, determines whether a read or a write data transfer will occur after the instruction byte write. Logic high indicates read operation. Logic 0 indicates a write operation. N1, N0, Bits 6 and 5 of the instruction byte, determine the number of bytes to be transferred during the data transfer cycle. The bit decodes are shown in Table 10. A4, A3, A2, A1, A0, Bits 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 of the instruction byte, determine which register is accessed during the data transfer portion of the communications cycle. For multibyte transfers, this address is the starting byte address. The remaining register addresses are generated by the AD9779 based on the LSBFIRST bit (REG00, bit 6).

General Operation of the Serial Interface
There are two phases to a communication cycle with the AD9779. Phase 1 is the instruction cycle, which is the writing of an instruction byte into the AD9779, coincident with the first eight SCLK rising edges. The instruction byte provides the AD9779 serial port controller with information regarding the data transfer cycle, which is Phase 2 of the communication cycle. The Phase 1 instruction byte defines whether the upcoming data transfer is read or write, the number of bytes in the data transfer, and the starting register address for the first byte of the data transfer. The first eight SCLK rising edges of each communication cycle are used to write the instruction byte into the AD9779. A logic high on the CS pin, followed by a logic low, will reset the SPI port timing to the initial state of the instruction cycle. This is true regardless of the present state of the internal registers or the other signal levels present at the inputs to the SPI port. If the SPI port is in the midst of an instruction cycle or a data transfer cycle,none of the present data will be written.
Table 10. Byte Transfer Count
Serial Interface Port Pin Descriptions
SCLK—Serial Clock. The serial clock pin is used to synchronize data to and from the AD9779 and to run the internal state machines. SCLK’s maximum frequency is 20 MHz. All data input to the AD9779 is registered on the rising edge of SCLK. All data is driven out of the AD9779 on the falling edge of SCLK. CSB—Chip Select. Active low input starts and gates a communication cycle. It allows more than one device to be used on the same serial communications lines. The SDO and SDIO pins will go to a high impedance state when this input is high. Chip select should stay low during the entire communication cycle. SDIO—Serial Data I/O. Data is always written into the AD9779 on

this pin. However, this pin can be used as a bidirectional data line. The configuration of this pin is controlled by Bit 7 of register address 00h. The default is Logic 0, which configures the SDIO pin as unidirectional. SDO—Serial Data Out. Data is read from this pin for protocols that use separate lines for transmitting and receiving data. In the case where the AD9779 operates in a single bidirectional I/O mode, this pin does not output data and is set to a high impedance state.

MSB/LSB Transfers
Figure 25. Serial Register Interface Timing MSB First
The AD9779 serial port can support both most significant bit (MSB) first or least significant bit (LSB) first data formats. This functionality is controlled by register bit LSBFIRST (REG00, bit 6). The default is MSB first (LSBFIRST = 0). When LSBFIRST = 0 (MSB first) the instruction and data bytes must be written from most significant bit to least significant bit. 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 should follow in order from high address to low address. In MSB first mode, the serial port internal byte address generator decrements for each data byte of the multibyte communication cycle. When LSBFIRST = 1 (LSB first) the instruction and data bytes must be written from least significant bit to most significant bit. 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 port internal byte address generator increments for each byte of the multibyte communication cycle. The AD9779 serial port controller data address will decrement from the data address written toward 0x00 for multibyte I/O operations if the MSB first mode is active. The serial port controller address will increment from the data address written toward 0x1F for multibyte I/O operations if the LSB first mode is active.

Notes on Serial Port Operation
The AD9779 serial port configuration is controlled by REG00, bits 6 and 7 . It is important to note that the configuration changes immediately upon writing to the last bit of the register. For multibyte transfers, writing to this register may occur during the middle of communication cycle. Care must be taken to compensate for this new configuration for the remaining bytes of the current communication cycle. The same considerations apply to setting the software reset, RESET (REG00, bit 5). All registers are set to their default values EXCEPT REG00 and REG04 which remain unchanged. Use of only single byte transfers when changing serial port configurations or initiating a software reset is recommended to prevent unexpected device behavior.

Internal Reference/Full Scale Current Generation
Full scale current on the AD9779 IDAC and QDAC can be set from 10 to 30ma. Initially, the 1.2V bandgap reference is used to set up a current in an external resistor connected to I120 (pin 75). A simplified block diagram of the AD9779 reference circuitry is given below in Figure 29. The recommended value for the external resistor is 10K Ω, which sets up an I REFERENCE in the resistor of 120µa. Internal current mirrors provide a current gain scaling, where IDAC or QDAC gain is a 10 bit word in the SPI port register (registers 0A, 0B, 0E, and 0F). The default value for the DAC gain registers gives an IFS of 20ma.

Auxiliary DACs
Two auxiliary DACs are provided on the AD9779. The full scale output current on these DACs is derived from the 1.2V bandgap reference and external resistor. The gain scale from the reference amplifier to the DAC reference current for each aux DAC is 16.67. with the Aux DAC gain set to full scale (10 bit values, SPI reg 0C, 0D, 10, 11), this gives a full scale current of 2ma for Aux DAC1 and for Aux DAC2. Through these same SPI port registers, the Aux DACs can be turned off, their signs can be inverted (scale is reversed, 0-1024 gives IFS to 0), and they can be programmed for sourcing or sinking current. When sourcing current, the output compliance voltage is 0-1.5V, and when sinking current the output compliance voltage is 0.8-1.5V. The Aux DACs can be used for LO cancellation when the DAC output is followed by a quadrature. A typical DAC to Quadrature Modulator interface is given in Figure 31. Often, the input common mode voltage for the modulator is much higher than the output compliance range of the DAC, so that ac coupling is necessary. The input referred offset voltage of thee quadrature modulator can result in LO feed through on the modulator output, degrading system, performance. If the configuration of Figure 29 is used, the Aux DACs can be used to compensate for the input DC offset of the quad mod, thus reducing LO feedthrough.

Power Down and Sleep Modes
The AD9779 has a variety of power down modes, so that the digital engine, main TxDACs, or auxiliary DACs can be powered down individually, or all at once. Via the SPI port, the main TxDACs can be placed in sleep or powered down modes. In sleep mode, the TxDAC output is turned off, thus reducing power dissipation. The reference remains powered on though, so that recovery from sleep mode is very fast. When the TxDAC is placed in Power Down mode, the TxDAC and 1.2V bandgap reference are turned off. This mode offers more substantial power savings than in sleep mode, but the time to turn on is much longer. The Auxiliary DACs also have the capability to be programmed via the SPI port into sleep mode.

Preliminary Technical Data
The power down bit (register 00h, bit 4) controls the power down function for the digital section of the AD9779. The power down function in bit 4 works in conjunction with TxEnable (pin 39) according to the following; TxEnable = 0:PWDWN= 0: Flush data path with zeroes 1: Digital engine in power down state, DACs and reference are not affected. 1: Normal operation 2.

PLL Disabled (reg 08h, bit 7=0) – The PLL enable switch in Figure 32 is connected to the Reference Clock Input. The differential reference clock input will be the DAC output sample rate and N3 will determine the interpolation rate.
Internal PLL Clock Multiplier / Clock Distribution
The internal clock structure on the AD9779 allows the user to drive the differential clock inputs with a clock at 1x or an integer multiple of the input data rate, or at the DAC output sample rate. A PLL internal to the AD9779 provides input clock multiplication and provides all of the internal clocks required for the interpolation filters and data synchronization. The internal clock architecture is shown in Figure 32. The reference clock is the differential clock at pins 5 and 6. This clock input can be run differentially, or singled ended by driving pin 5 with a clock signal, and biasing pin 6 to the mid swing point of the signal at pin 5. There are various configurations in which this clock architecture can be run; 1. PLL Enabled (reg 08h, bit 7=1) – The PLL enable switch in Figure 32 is connected to the junction of the dividers N1 and N2. Divider N3 determines the interpolation rate of the DAC, and the ratio N2/N3 determines the ratio of Reference Clock/Input Data Rate. The VCO runs optimally over the range 804MHz to 1800MHz, so that N1 is used to keep the speed of the VCO in this range, even though the DAC sample rate may be lower. The loop filter components are entirely internal and no external compensation is necessary.

Timing Information
Figure 33 through Figure 35 show some of the various timing possibilities when the PLL is enabled. The combination of the settings of N2 and N3 means that the reference clock frequency may be a multiple of the actual input data rate. Figure 33 through Figure 35 show, respectively, what the timing looks like when N2/N3 = 1, 2, and 4. Figure 36 shows the timing specifications for the AD9779 when the PLL is disabled. The reference clock is at the DAC output sample rate. In the example shown in Figure 36, if the PLL is disabled, the interpolation is 4x.. The set up and hold time for the input data are with respect to the rising edge of the reference clock which occurs just before the rising edge of the DATACLK out. Note that if reg 02h, bit2 is set, DATACLK out is inverted so the latching reference clock edge will occur just before the DATACLK out falling edge.

Using Data Delay to Meet Timing Requirements
In order to meet strict timing requirements at input data rates of up to 250MSPS, the AD9779 has a fine timing feature. Fine timing adjustments can be made by programming values into the DATA CLOCK DELAY register (reg 03h, 5:3). By changing the values in this register, delay can be added to the default delay between the DACCLK in the DATACLK out. The effect of this is shown in Figure 37 and Figure 38.
Figure 38. . Delay from DACCLK to DATACLK out with CLK DATA DELAY = 111
Figure 37. Delay from DACCLK to DATACLK out with CLK DATA DELAY = 000
The difference between the default delay of Figure 37 and the maximum delay shown in Figure 38 is the range programmable via the DATA CLK DELAY register. The resulting delays when programming DATA CLK DELAY between 000 and 111 are a linear extrapolation between these two figures. (typically 300ps400ps per increment to DATA CLK DELAY).

Interpolation Filter Architecture
The AD9779 can provide up to 8× interpolation or disable the interpolation filters entirely. The coefficients of the low pass filters and the inverse sinc filter are given in Table 5, Table 6, Table 7, and Table 8. Spectral plots for the filter responses are given in Figure 3, Figure 4, and Figure 5. With the interpolation filter and modulator combined, the incoming signal can be placed anywhere within the Nyquist region of the DAC output sample rate. Where the input signal is complex, this architecture allows modulation of the input signal to positive or negative Nyquist regions (refer to Table 13). The Nyquist regions up to 4× the input data rate can be seen in Figure 39.

Figure 3, Figure 4 and Figure 5 show the low pass response of the digital filters with no modulation used. By turning on the modulation feature, the response of the digital filters can be tuned to any Nyquist zone within the DAC bandwidth. As an example, Figure 40 to Figure 46 show the odd mode filter responses (refer to Table 13 for odd/even mode filter responses).

Preliminary Technical Data
Even mode filter responses allow the passband to be centered around ±0.5, ±1.5, ±2.5 and ±3.5 FDATA. Switching from and odd mode response to an even mode filter response does not modulate the signal. Instead, the pass band is simply shifted. As an example, picture the response of Figure 46, and assume the signal in band is a complex signal over the bandwidth 3.2 to 3.3×FDATA. If the even mode filter response is then selected, the pass band will now be centered at 3.5×FDATA. However, the signal will still remain at the same place in the spectrum. The even/odd mode capability allows the passband to be placed anywhere in the DAC Nyquist bandwidth. The AD9779 is a dual DAC with an internal complex modulator built into the interpolating filter response. The modulator can be set to a real or a complex mode by programming register 02h, bit 5. In the default mode, bit 5 is set to zero and the modulation is complex. The AD9779 then expects the real and the imaginary components of a complex signal at digital input ports one and two (I and Q respectively). The DAC outputs will then represent the real and imaginary components of the input signal, modulated by the complex carrier FDAC/2, FDAC/4 or FDAC/8. With Bit 5 set to one, the modulation is real. The Q channel is shut off and it’s value at the modulator inputs replaced with zero. The output spectrum at either the IDAC or the QDAC will then represent the signal at digital input port one, real modulated by the internal digital carrier (FDAC/2, FDAC/4 or FDAC/8).
