NOTES 1 Absolute maximum ratings are limiting values to be applied individually, and beyond which the serviceability of the circuit may be impaired. Functional operability under any of these conditions is not necessarily implied. Exposure of absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods of time affect device reliability. 2 Wake-Up Time refers to recovery from analog power down modes (see Power Down Modes of Operation). The longest time required is for the Reference Clock Multiplier PLL to lock up (if it is being used). The Wake-Up Time assumes that there is no capacitor on DAC_BP, and that the recommended PLL loop filter values are used. 3 SYSCLK refers to the actual clock frequency used on-chip by the AD9954. If the Reference Clock Multiplier is used to multiply the external reference frequency, then the SYSCLK frequency is the external frequency multiplied by the Reference Clock Multiplier multiplication factor. If the Reference Clock Multiplier is not used, then the SYSCLK frequency is the same as the external REFCLK frequency.

PRELIMINARY TECHNICAL DATA Theory of Operation
Component Blocks DDS Core
AD9953
The output frequency (fo) of the DDS is a function of the frequency of system clock (SYSCLK), the value of the frequency tuning word (FTW), and the capacity of the accumulator (232, in this case). The exact relationship is given below with fs defined as the frequency of SYSCLK. fo = (FTW)(fs) / 232 { 0 FTW 231
fo = fs* ( 1 - ( FTW / 232 ) ) { 231 < FTW < 232 -1 The AD9953 frequency tuning word(s) are unsigned numbers, where 80000000(hex) represents the highest output frequency possible, commonly referred to as the Nyquist frequency. Values ranging from than 80000001(hex) to FFFFFFFF (hex) will be expressed as aliased frequencies less than Nyquist. An example using a 3-bit phase accumulator will illustrate this principle. For a tuning word of 001, the phase accumulator output (PAO) increments from all zeros to all ones and repeats when the accumulator overflows after clock cycle number 8. For the tuning word of 111, the phase accumulator output (PAO) decrements from all ones to all zeros and repeats when the accumulator overflows after clock cycle number 8. While the phase accumulator outputs are "reversed" with respect to clock cycles, the outputs provide identical inputs to the phase to amplitude converter, which means the DDS output frequencies are identical. Mathematically, for a 3-bit accumulator, the following equations apply: fo = fs* (FTW / 23 ) { 0 FTW 22
fo = fs* ( 1 - ( FTW / 23 ) ) { 22 < FTW < 23 -1 For the 001 frequency tuning word: Fout = Fs * 1/23 = 1/8*Fs
And for the 111 frequency tuning word:
Fout = Fs * (1 - 7/8) = 1/8*Fs The value at the output of the Phase Accumulator is translated to an amplitude value via the COS(x) functional block and routed to the DAC.
REV. PrB

Page 10
Analog Devices, Inc.
PRELIMINARY TECHNICAL DATA AD9953 In certain applications it is desirable to force the output signal to ZERO phase. Simply setting the FTW to 0 does not accomplish this. It only results in the DDS core holding its current phase value. Thus, a control bit is required to force the Phase Accumulator output to zero. At power up the Clear Phase Accumulator bit is set to logic one but the buffer memory for this bit is cleared (logic zero). Therefore, upon power up, the phase accumulator will remain clear until the first I/O UPDATE is issued.
Phase Truncation
The 32-bit phase values generated by the Phase Accumulator are truncated to 19 bits prior to the COS(x) block. That is, the 19 most significant bits of phase are retained for subsequent processing. This is typical of standard DDS architecture and is a trade off between hardware complexity and spurious performance. It can be shown that 19-bit phase resolution is sufficient to yield 14-bit amplitude resolution with an error of less than 1/2 LSB. The decision to truncate at 19 bits of phase guarantees the phase error of the COS(x) block to be less than the phase error associated with the amplitude resolution of the 14-bit DAC.
Clock Input
The AD9953 supports various clock methodologies. Support for differential or single-ended input clocks, enabling of an on-chip oscillator and/or phase-locked loop (PLL) multiplier are all controlled via user programmable bits. The AD9953 may be configured in one of six operating modes to generate the system clock. The modes are configured using the ClkModeSelect pin, CFR1<4>, and CFR2<7:3>. Connecting the external pin ClkModeSelect to logic HIGH enables the on-chip crystal oscillator circuit. With the on-chip oscillator enabled, users of the AD9953 connect an external crystal to the REFCLK and REFCLKB inputs to produce a low frequency reference clock in the range of 20-30MHz. The signal generated by the oscillator is buffered before it is delivered to the rest of the chip. This buffered signal is available via the crystal out pin. Bit CFR1<4> can be used to enable or disable the buffer, turning on or off the system clock. The oscillator itself is not powered down in order to avoid long start-up times associated with turning on a crystal oscillator. Writing bit CFR2<1> to logic HIGH enables the crystal oscillator output buffer. Logic LOW at CFR2<1> disables the oscillator output buffer. Connecting ClkModeSelect to logic LOW disables the on-chip oscillator and the oscillator output buffer. With the oscillator disabled an external oscillator must provide the REFCLK and/or REFCLKB signals. For differential operation these pins are driven with complementary signals. For single-ended operation a 0.1uF capacitor should be connected between the unused pin and the positive power supply. With the capacitor in place the clock input pin bias voltage is 1.35V. In addition, the PLL may be used to multiply the reference frequency by an integer value in the range of the 4 to 20.

Table 2 Clock Input Modes of Operation
Phase Locked Loop (PLL)
The PLL allows multiplication of the REFCLK frequency. Control of the PLL is accomplished by programming the 5-bit REFCLK Multiplier portion of Control Function Register #2, bits <7:3>. When programmed for values ranging from 04h - 14h (4-20 decimal), the PLL multiplies the REFCLK input frequency by the corresponding decimal value. The maximum output frequency of the PLL is restricted to 400MHz, however. Whenever the PLL value is changed, the user should be aware that time must be allocated to allow the PLL to lock (approximately 1ms). The PLL is bypassed by programming a value outside the range of 4-20 (decimal). When bypassed, the PLL is shut down to conserve power.
DAC Output
The AD9953 incorporates an integrated 14-bit current output DAC. Two complementary outputs provide a combined full-scale output current (Iout). Differential outputs reduce the amount of common-mode noise that might be present at the DAC output, offering the advantage of an increased signal-to-noise ratio. The full-scale current is controlled by means of an external resistor (Rset) connected between the DAC_Rset pin and the DAC ground (AGND). The full-scale current is proportional to the resistor value as follows: Rset = 39.19/Iout The maximum full-scale output current of the combined DAC outputs is 15mA, but limiting the output to 10mA provides the best spurious-free-dynamic-range (SFDR) performance. The DAC output compliance range is AVDD+0.250V to AVDD-375V. Voltages developed beyond this range will cause excessive DAC distortion and could potentially damage the DAC output circuitry. Proper attention should be paid to the load termination to keep the output voltage within this compliance range.
Serial IO Port
REV. PrB 1/30/03 Page 12 Analog Devices, Inc.
PRELIMINARY TECHNICAL DATA
AD9953
The AD9953 serial port is a flexible, synchronous serial communications port allowing easy interface to many industry standard micro-controllers and microprocessors. The serial I/O port is compatible with most synchronous transfer formats, including both the Motorola 6905/11 SPI and Intel 8051 SSR protocols. The interface allows read/write access to all registers that configure the AD9953. MSB first or LSB first transfer formats are supported. In addition, the AD9953's serial interface port can be configured as a single pin I/O (SDIO), which allows a two-wire interface or two unidirectional pins for in/out (SDIO/SDO), which enables a three wire interface. Two optional pins (IOSYNC and CSB) enable greater flexibility for system design-in of the AD9953.
Register Map and Descriptions
The Register Map is listed in the following table. The serial address numbers associated with each of the registers are shown in hexadecimal format. Angle brackets <> are used to reference specific bits or ranges of bits. For example, <3> designates bit 3 while <7:3> designates the range of bits from 7 down to 3, inclusive.

Control Register Bit Descriptions
Control Function Register #1 (CFR1)
AD9953
The CFR1 is used to control the various functions, features, and modes of the AD9954. The functionality of each bit is detailed below. CFR1<31>: RAM Enable bit. When CFR1<31> = 0 (default). When CFR1<31> is inactive, the RAM is disabled for operation. Either Single tone mode of operation or linear sweep mode of operations is enabled. When CFR1<31> = 1, if CFR1<31> is active, the RAM is enabled for operation. Access control for normal operation is controlled via the mode control bits of the RSCW for the current profile. CFR1<30>: RAM Destination bit. CFR1<30> = 0 (default) If CFR1<31> is active, a logic 0 on the RAM Destination bit (CFR1<30>=0) configures the AD9954 such that RAM output drives the phase accumulator (i.e. is the frequency tuning word). If CFR1<31> is inactive, CFR1<30> is a don't care. CFR1<30> = 1 If CFR1<31> is active, a logic 1 on the RAM Destination bit (CFR1<30>=1) configures the AD9954 such that RAM output drives the phaseoffset adder (i.e. sets the phase offset of the DDS core). CFR1<29:27>: Internal Profile Control bits. These bits cause the Profile Bits to be ignored and put the AD9954 into an automatic "profile loop sequence" that allows the user to implement a frequency/phase composite sweep that runs without external inputs. See the Internal Profile Control section of this document for details. CFR1<26>: Amplitude ramp rate load control bit. When CFR1<26> = 0 (default), the amplitude ramp rate timer is loaded only upon timeout (timer ==1) and is NOT loaded due to an I/O UPDATE input signal. When CFR1<26> = 1, the amplitude ramp rate timer is loaded upon timeout (timer ==1) or at the time of an I/O UPDATE input signal.

When CFR1<1> = 1, the SyncClk pin assumes a static logic 0 state (disabled). In this state the pin drive logic is shut down to keep noise generated by the digital circuitry at a minimum. However, the synchronization circuitry remains active (internally) to maintain normal device timing. CFR1<0>: Not used. Leave at 0.
NOTE: Assertion of this bit may cause the SyncClk pin to momentarily stop generating a Sync Clock signal. The device will not be operational during the re-synchronization period.
Control Function Register #2 (CFR2)
The CFR2 is comprised of three bytes located in parallel addresses 06h-04h. The CFR2 is used to control the various functions, features, and modes of the AD9953, primarily related to the analog sections of the chip. All bits of the CFR2 will be routed directly to the Analog section of the AD9953 as a single 24-bit bus labeled CFR2<23:0>. CFR2<11>: High Speed Sync Enable bit. When CFR2<11> = 0 (default) the High Speed Sync enhancement is off. When CFR2<11> = 1, the High Speed Sync enhancement is on.

Other Register Descriptions
Amplitude Scale Factor (ASF)
The ASF Register stores the 2-bit Auto Ramp Rate Speed value ASF<15:14> and the 14-bit Amplitude Scale Factor ASF<13:0> used in the Output Shaped Keying (OSK) operation. In auto OSK operation, that is CFR1<24> = 1, ASF <15:14> tells the OSK block how many amplitude steps to take for each increment or decrement. ASF<13:0> sets the maximum value achievable by the OSK internal multiplier. In manual OSK mode, that is CFR1<24>=0, ASF<15:14> have no affect. ASF <13:0> provide the output scale factor directly. If the OSK enable bit is cleared, CFR1<25>=0, this register has no affect on device operation.
Amplitude Ramp Rate (ARR)
The ARR register stores the 8-bit Amplitude Ramp Rate used in the Auto OSK mode, that is CFR1<25>=1, CFR<24>=1. This register programs the rate the amplitude scale factor counter increments or decrements. In the OSK is set to manual mode, CFR1<25>=1 CFR<24>=0, or if OSK enable is cleared CFR1<25>=0, this register has no affect on device operation.

Frequency Tuning Word 0 (FTW0)
AD9953
The Frequency Tuning Word is a 32-bit register that controls the rate of accumulation in the phase accumulator of the DDS core. Its specific role is dependent on the device mode of operation.
Phase Offset Word (POW)
The Phase Offset Word is a 14-bit register that stores a phase offset value. This offset value is added to the output of the phase accumulator to offset the current phase of the output signal. The exact value of phase offset is given by the following formula: =
POW * 360 14 2
When the RAM enable bit is set, CFR1<31> = 1, and the RAM destination is cleared, CFR1<30>=0, the RAM supplies the phase offset word and this register has no affect on device operation.
Frequency Tuning Word 1 (FTW1)
The Frequency Tuning Word is a 32-bit register that controls the rate of accumulation in the phase accumulator of the DDS core. Its specific role is dependent on the device mode of operation.
RAM Segment Control Words 0,1,2,3 (RSCW0) (RSCW1) (RSCW2), (RSCW3)
Registers h'07, h'08, h'09 and h'0A act as the RAM segment Control words, RSCW0, RSCW1, RCSW2 and RCSW3 respectively. Each of the RAM Segment Control Words contains a 3-bit Mode Control value, a `No Dwell' bit, a 10-bit Beginning Address, a 10-bit Final Address and a 16-bit Address Ramp Rate. Please see the section on RAM modes of operation for details on how each of these values works in the various RAM modes of operation.
RAM
The AD9953 incorporates a 1024x32 block of SRAM. The RAM is bi-directional singleport. That is to say, both READ and WRITE operations from and to the RAM are valid, but they cannot occur simultaneously. WRITE operations from the serial I/O port have precedence, and if an attempt to WRITE to RAM is made during a READ operation, the READ operation will be halted. The RAM is controlled in multiple ways, dictated by modes of operation described in the RAM Segment Control Word <7:5> as well as data in the Control Function Register. Read/write control for the RAM will be described for each mode supported. When the RAM Enable bit (CFR1<31>) is set, the RAM output optionally drives the input to the phase accumulator OR the phase offset adder, depending upon the state of the "RAM Destination" bit (CFR1<30>). If CFR1<30> is a logic one, the RAM output is connected to the Phase Offset adder and supplies the phase offset control word(s) for the device. When CFR1<30> is logic zero (default condition), the RAM output is connected to the input of the phase accumulator and supplies the frequency tuning word(s) for the device. When the RAM output drives the phase accumulator, the Phase Offset Word (POW, hex address 05h) drives the phase-offset adder.
REV. PrB 1/30/03 Page 23 Analog Devices, Inc.
PRELIMINARY TECHNICAL DATA AD9953 Similarly, when the RAM output drives the phase offset adder the Frequency Tuning Word (FTW, hex address 04h) drives the phase accumulator. When CFR1<31> is logic zero, the RAM is inactive unless being written to via the serial port. The power up state of the AD9953 is single tone mode, in which the RAM Enable bit is inactive. The RAM is segmented into four unique slices controlled by the Profile<1:0> input pins. All RAM writes/reads, unless otherwise specified, are controlled by the Profile<1:0> input pins and the respective RAM Segment Control Word. The RAM can be written to during normal operation BUT any IO operation that commands the RAM to be written immediately suspends read operation from the RAM, causing the current mode of operation to be non-functional. This excludes single tone mode, as the RAM is not read in this mode.
Modes of Operation Single Tone Mode
In single tone mode, the DDS core uses a single tuning word. Whatever value is stored in FTW0 is supplied to the phase accumulator. This value can only be changed statically, which is done by writing a new value to FTW0 and issuing an I/O UPDATE. Phase adjustment is possible through the phase offset register.
RAM Controlled Modes of Operation
Direct Switch Mode
Direct Switch Mode enables FSK or PSK modulation. The AD9953 is programmed for Direct Switch Mode by writing the RAM Enable bit true and programming the RAM Segment Mode Control bits of each desired profile to logic 000(b). This mode simply reads the RAM contents at the RAM Segment Beginning Address for the current profile. No address ramping is enabled in Direct Switch mode. To perform 4-tone FSK, the user programs each RAM Segment Control Word for Direct Switch Mode and a unique beginning address value. In addition, the RAM Enable bit is written true which enables the RAM and the RAM destination bit is written false, setting the RAM output to be the frequency tuning word. The Profile<1:0> inputs are the 4-tone FSK data inputs. When the profile is changed, the frequency tuning word stored in the new profile is loaded into the phase accumulator and used to increment the currently stored value in a phase continuous fashion. The Phase Offset Word drives the phase-offset adder. 2-tone FSK is accomplished by using only one Profile pin for data. Programming the AD9953 for PSK modulation is similar to FSK except the RAM destination bit is set to a logic 1, enabling the RAM output to drive the phase offset adder. The FTW drives the input to the phase accumulator. Toggling the profile pins changes (modulates) the current phase

PRELIMINARY TECHNICAL DATA AD9953 value. The upper 14-bits of the RAM drive the phase adder (bits <31:18>). Bits <17:0> of the RAM output are unused when the RAM destination bit is set. The "No Dwell" bit is a don't care in Direct Switch Mode.
Ramp-Up Mode
Ramp-Up mode, in conjunction with the segmented RAM capability, allows up to four different "sweep profiles" to be programmed into the AD9953. The AD9953 is programmed for Ramp-Up mode by writing the RAM Enable bit true and programming the RAM Mode Control bits of each profile to be used to logic 001(b). As in all modes that enable the memory, the RAM destination bit controls whether the RAM output drives the phase accumulator or the phase offset adder. Upon starting a sweep (via an I/O UPDATE or change in Profile bits), the RAM address generator loads the RAM Segment Beginning Address bits of the current RSCW, driving the RAM output from this address and the Ramp Rate Timer loads the RAM Segment Address Ramp Rate bits. When the ramp rate timer finishes a cycle, the RAM address generator increments to the next address, the timer reloads the ramp rate bits and begins a new countdown cycle. This sequence continues until the RAM address generator has incremented to an address equal to the RAM Segment Final Address bits of the current RSCW. If the "No Dwell" bit is clear, when the RAM address generator equals the final address, the generator stops incrementing as the terminal frequency has been reached. The sweep is complete and does not re-start until an I/O UPDATE or change in Profile is detected to enable another sweep from the beginning to the final RAM address as described above. If the "No Dwell" bit is set, when the RAM address generator equals the final address, after the next ramp rate timer cycle the phase accumulator is cleared. The phase accumulator remains cleared until another sweep is initiated via an I/O UPDATE input or change in profile. Notes to the Ramp-Up mode: 1) The user must insure that the beginning address is lower than the final address. 2) Changing profiles automatically terminates the current sweep and starts the next sweep. 3) The AD9953 offers no output signal indicating when a terminal frequency has been reached. 4) Setting the RAM destination bit true such that the RAM output drives the phase-offset adder is valid. While the above discussion describes a frequency sweep, a phase sweep operation is also available. Another application for Ramp-Up mode is non-symmetrical FSK modulation. With the RAM configured for two segments, using the Profile<0> bit as the data input allows non-symmetrical ramped FSK.
Bi-directional Ramp Mode
REV. PrB 1/30/03 Page 25 Analog Devices, Inc.
PRELIMINARY TECHNICAL DATA
AD9953
Bi-directional Ramp mode allows the AD9953 to offer a symmetrical sweep between two frequencies using the Profile<0> signal as the control input. The AD9953 is programmed for Bidirectional Ramp mode by writing the RAM Enable bit true and the RAM Mode Control bits of RSCW0 to logic 010(b). In Bi-directional Ramp mode, the Profile<1> input is ignored and the Profile<0> input is the ramp direction indicator. In this mode, the memory is not segmented and uses only a single beginning and final address. The address registers that affect the control of the RAM are located in the RSCW associated with profile 0. Upon entering this mode (via an I/O UPDATE or changing Profile<0>), the RAM address generator loads the RAM Segment Beginning Address bits of RSCW0 and the Ramp Rate Timer loads the RAM Segment Address Ramp Rate bits. The RAM drives data from the beginning address and the ramp rate timer begins to count down to 1. While operating in this mode, toggling the Profile<0> pin does not cause the device to generate an internal I/O UPDATE. That is to say, when the Profile<0> pin is acting as the ramp direction indicator, any transfer of data from the I/O buffers to the internal registers can only be initiated by a rising edge on the I/O UPDATE pin. RAM address control now is a function of the Profile<0> input. When the Profile<0> bit is a logic one, the RAM address generator increments to the next address when the ramp rate timer completes a cycle (and reloads to start the timer again). As in the Ramp-Up mode, this sequence continues until the RAM address generator has incremented to an address equal to the final address as long as the Profile<0> input remains high. If the Profile<0> input goes low, the RAM address generator immediately decrements and the ramp rate timer is reloaded. The RAM address generator will continue to decrement at the ramp rate period until the RAM address is equal to the beginning address as long as the Profile<0> input remains low. The sequence of ramping up and down is controlled via the Profile<0> input signal for as long as the part is programmed into this mode. The no dwell bit is a "don't care" in this mode as is all data in the RAM Segment Control Words associated with profiles 1,2,3. Only the information in the RAM Segment Control Word for profile 0 is used to control the RAM in the Bi-Directional Ramp Mode. Notes to the Bi-directional Ramp mode: 1) The user must insure that the beginning address is lower than the final address. 2) Issuing an I/O UPDATE automatically terminates the current sweep causing the starting address to be reloaded and the ramp rate timer to initialize. 3) Setting the RAM destination bit true such that the RAM output drives the phase-offset adder is valid. While the above discussion describes a frequency sweep, a phase sweep operation is also available.
Continuous Bi-directional Ramp Mode
REV. PrB 1/30/03 Page 26 Analog Devices, Inc.
PRELIMINARY TECHNICAL DATA
AD9953
Continuous Bi-directional Ramp mode allows the AD9953 to offer an automatic symmetrical sweep between two frequencies. The AD9953 is programmed for Continuous Bi-directional Ramp mode by writing the RAM Enable bit true and the RAM Mode Control bits of each profile to be used to logic 011(b). Upon entering this mode (via an I/O UPDATE or changing Profile<1:0>), the RAM address generator loads the RAM Segment Beginning Address bits of the current RSCW and the Ramp Rate Timer loads the RAM Segment Address Ramp Rate bits. The RAM drives data from the beginning address and the ramp rate timer begins to count down to 1. When the ramp rate timer completes a cycle, the RAM address generator increments to the next address, the timer reloads the ramp rate bits and continues counting down. This sequence continues until the RAM address generator has incremented to an address equal to the RAM Segment Final Address bits of the current RSCW. Upon reaching this terminal address, the RAM address generator will decrement in value at the ramp rate until it reaches the RAM Segment Beginning address. Upon reaching the beginning address, the entire sequence repeats. The entire sequence repeats for as long as the part is programmed for this mode. The No Dwell bit is a "don't care" in this mode. In general, this mode is identical in control to the Bi-directional Ramp Mode except the ramp up and down is automatic (no external control via the Profile<0> input) and switching profiles is valid. Once in this mode, the address generator ramps from beginning address to final address back to beginning address at the rate programmed into the ramp rate register. This mode enables generation of an automatic saw tooth sweep characteristic. Notes to the Continuous Bi-directional Ramp mode: 1) The user must insure that the beginning address is lower than the final address. 2) Changing profiles or issuing an I/O UPDATE automatically terminates the current sweep and starts the next sweep. 3) Setting the RAM destination bit true such that the RAM output drives the phase-offset adder is valid. While the above discussion describes a frequency sweep, a phase sweep operation is also available.
Continuous Re-circulate Mode
Continuous Re-circulate mode allows the AD9953 to offer an automatic, continuous unidirectional sweep between two frequencies. The AD9953 is programmed for Continuous Re-circulate mode by writing the RAM Enable bit true and the RAM Mode Control bits of each profile to be used to logic 100(b). Upon entering this mode (via an I/O UPDATE or changing Profile<1:0>), the RAM address generator loads the RAM Segment Beginning Address bits of the current RSCW and the Ramp Rate Timer loads the RAM Segment Address Ramp Rate bits.

When the ramp rate timer completes a cycle, the RAM address generator increments to the next address, the timer reloads the ramp rate bits and continues counting down. This sequence continues until the RAM address generator has incremented to an address equal to the RAM Segment Final Address bits of the current RSCW. Upon reaching this terminal address, the RAM address generator reloads the RAM Segment Beginning Address bits and the sequence repeats. The sequence of circulating through the specified RAM addresses repeats for as long as the part is programmed for this mode. The No Dwell bit is a don't care in this mode. Notes to the Continuous Re-circulate mode: 1) The user must insure that the beginning address is lower than the final address. 2) Changing profiles or issuing an I/O UPDATE automatically terminates the current sweep and starts the next sweep. 3) Setting the RAM destination bit true such that the RAM output drives the phase-offset adder is valid. While the above discussion describes a frequency sweep, a phase sweep operation is also available.

Modes are defined that allow continuous or single burst profile switches for three combinations of profile selection bits. These are listed in the table below. When the any of the CFR1<29:27> bits are active, the internal profile control mode is engaged. When the internal profile control mode is engaged, the RAM Segment Mode Control bits are "Don't care" and the device operates all profiles as if these mode control bits were programmed for Ramp-Up mode. Switching between profiles occurs when the RAM address generator has exhausted the memory contents for the current profile.

A single burst mode is one in which the composite sweep is executed once. For example, assume the device is programmed for Ramp-Up mode and the CFR1<29:27> bits are written to 010(b). Upon receiving an I/O UPDATE, the internal control logic signals the device to begin executing the Ramp-Up mode sequence for profile 0. Upon reaching the RAM Segment Final Address value for profile 0, the device automatically switches to profile 1 and begins executing that Ramp-Up sequence. Upon reaching the RAM Segment Final Address value for profile 1, the device automatically switches to profile 2 and begins executing that Ramp-Up sequence. When the RAM Segment Final Address value for profile 2 is reached, the sequence is over and the composite sweep has completed. Issuing another I/O UPDATE re-starts the burst process. A continuous internal profile control mode is one in which the composite sweep is continuously executed for as long as the device is programmed into that mode. Using the example above, except programming the CFR1<29:27> bits to 101(b), the operation would be identical until the RAM

Programming AD9953 Features Phase Offset Control
A 14-bit phase-offset () may be added to the output of the Phase Accumulator by means of the Control Registers. This feature provides the user with three different methods of phase control. The first method is a static phase adjustment, where a fixed phase-offset is loaded into the appropriate phase-offset register and left unchanged. The result is that the output signal is offset by a constant angle relative to the nominal signal. This allows the user to phase align the DDS output with some external signal, if necessary. The second method of phase control is where the user regularly UPDATEs the phase-offset register via the I/O Port. By properly modifying the phase-offset as a function of time, the user can implement a phase modulated output signal. However, both the speed of the I/O Port and the frequency of sysclk limit the rate at which phase modulation can be performed. The third method of phase control involves the RAM and the profile input pins. The AD9953 can be configured such that the RAM drives the phase adjust circuitry. The user can control the phase offset via the RAM in an identical manner allowed for frequency sweeping. See the RAM Control and the Sweep Modes of Operation sections for details.
Phase/Amplitude Dithering
The AD9953 DDS core includes optional phase and/or amplitude dithering controlled via the CFR1<20:16> bits. Phase dithering is the randomization of the state of the least significant bits of each phase word. Phase dithering reduces spurious signal strength caused by phase truncation by spreading the spurious energy over the entire spectrum. The downside to dithering is a rise in the noise floor. Amplitude dithering is similar, except it affects the output signal routed to the DAC. The AD9953 uses a 32-bit linear feedback shift register (LFSR), shown in Figure 7 below, to generate the pseudo random binary sequence that is used for both phase and amplitude dither data. The LFSR will generate, at the sync_clk rate, the pseudo random sequence only if dithering is enabled. The enable signal is the 4-input OR of the dithering control bits (CFR1<20:16>).

PRELIMINARY TECHNICAL DATA AD9953 Phase dithering is independently controlled on the four least significant bits of the phase word routed to the angle rotation function. That is, any or all of the phase word four least significant bits may be dithered or not dithered, controlled by the user via the serial port. Specifically, the CFR1<19> bit controls the phase dithering enable function of the phase word <16> bit. The CFR1<18> bit controls the phase dithering enable function of the phase word <15> bit. The CFR1<17> bit controls the phase dithering enable function of the phase word <14> bit. The CFR1<16> bit controls the phase dithering enable function of the phase word <13> bit. This enable function is such that if the bit is high, dithering is enabled. If the bit is low, dithering is not enabled. Amplitude dithering uses one control bit to enable or disable dithering. If the amplitude dither enable bit (CFR1<20>) is logic 0, no amplitude dithering is enabled and the data from the DDS core is passed unchanged. When high, amplitude dithering is enabled.
Shaped On-Off Keying
General Description: The Shaped On-Off keying function of the AD9953 allows the user to control the ramp-up and ramp-down time of an "on-off" emission from the DAC. This function is used in "burst transmissions" of digital data to reduce the adverse spectral impact of short, abrupt bursts of data. AUTO and MANUAL Shaped On-Off Keying modes are supported. The AUTO mode generates a linear scale factor at a rate determined by the Amplitude Ramp Rate (ARR) Register controlled by an external pin (OSK). MANUAL mode allows the user to directly control the output amplitude by writing the scale factor value into the Amplitude Scale Factor (ASF) Register (ASF). The Shaped On-Off keying function may be bypassed (disabled) by clearing the OSK Enable bit (CFR1<25>=0). The modes are controlled by two bits located in the most significant byte of the Control Function Register (CFR). CFR1<25> is the Shaped On-Off Keying enable bit. When CFR1<25> is set, the output scaling function is enabled; CFR1<25> bypasses the function. CFR1<24> is the internal Shaped On-Off Keying active bit. When CFR1<24> is set, internal Shaped On-Off Keying mode is active; CFR1<24> cleared is external Shaped On-Off Keying mode active. CFR1<24> is a "Don't care" if the Shaped On-Off Keying enable bit (CFR1<25>) is cleared. The power up condition is Shaped On-Off Keying disabled (CFR1<25> = 0). Figure C below shows the block diagram of the OSK circuitry.

AUTO Shaped On-Off Keying mode operation:
The AUTO Shaped On-Off Keying mode is active when CFR1<25> and CFR1<24> are set. When AUTO Shaped On-Off Keying mode is enabled, a single scale factor is internally generated and applied to the multiplier input for scaling the output of the DDS core block (See Figure 9 above). The scale factor is the output of a 14-bit counter which increments/decrements at a rate determined by the contents of the 8-bit output ramp rate register. The scale factor increases if the OSK pin is high, decreases if the pin is low. The scale factor is an unsigned value such that all zeros multiplies the DDS core output by 0 (decimal) and 3FFFh multiplies the DDS core output by 16383 decimal. For those users who use the full amplitude (14-bits) but need fast ramp rates, the internally generated scale factor step size is controlled via the ASF<15:14> bits. The table below describes the increment/decrement step size of the internally generated scale factor per the ASF<15:14> bits.

A special feature of this mode is that the maximum output amplitude allowed is limited by the contents of the Amplitude Scale Factor Register. This allows the user to ramp to a value less than full scale.
OSK Ramp Rate Timer
The OSK ramp rate timer is a loadable down counter, which generates the clock signal to the 14-bit counter that generates the internal scale factor. The ramp rate timer is loaded with the value of the ASFR every time the counter reaches 1 (decimal). This load and count down operation continues for as long as the timer is enabled unless the timer is forced to load before reaching a count of 1. If the Load OSK Timer bit (CFR1<26>) is set, the ramp rate timer is loaded upon an I/O UPDATE, change in profile input or upon reaching a value of 1. The ramp timer can be loaded before reaching a count of 1 by three methods. Method one is by changing the OSK input pin. When the OSK input pin changes state the ASFR value is loaded into the ramp rate timer, which then proceeds to count down as normal. The second method in which the sweep ramp rate timer can be loaded before reaching a count of 1 is if the Load OSK Timer bit (CFR1<26>) bit is set and an I/O UPDATE (or change in profile) is issued. The last method in which the sweep ramp rate timer can be loaded before reaching a count of 1 is when going from the inactive AUTO Shaped On-Off Keying mode to the active AUTO Shaped On-Off Keying mode. That is, when the sweep enable bit is being set.
External Shaped On-Off Keying mode operation:
The external Shaped On-Off Keying mode is enabled by writing CFR1<25> to a logic 1 AND writing CFR1<24> to a logic 0. When configured for external Shaped On-Off Keying, the content of the ASFR becomes the scale factor for the data path. The scale factors are synchronized to sync_clk via the I/O update functionality.

Synchronization; Register Updates (I/O UPDATE)
Functionality of the SyncClk and I/O UPDATE
AD9953
Data into the AD9953 is synchronous to the sync_clk signal (supplied externally to the user on the SYNC_CLK pin). The I/O_UPDATE pin is sampled on the rising edge of the sync_clk. Internally, sysclk is fed to a divide-by-4 frequency divider to produce the sync_clk signal. The sync_clk signal is provided to the user on the SYNC_CLK pin. This enables synchronization of external hardware with the device's internal clocks. This is accomplished by forcing any external hardware to obtain its timing from sync_clk. The I/O UPDATE signal coupled with sync_clk is used to transfer internal buffer contents into the Control Registers of the device. The combination of the sync_clk and I/O UPDATE pins provides the user with constant latency relative to sysclk and also ensures phase continuity of the analog output signal when a new tuning word or phase offset value is asserted. Figure E demonstrates an I/O Update timing cycle and synchronization. Notes to synchronization logic: 1) The I/O UPDATE signal is edge detected to generate a single rising edge clock signal that drives the register bank flops. The I/O UPDATE signal has no constraints on duty cycle. The minimum low time on I/O UPDATE is one sync_clk clock cycle. 2) The I/O UPDATE pin is setup and held around the rising edge of sync_clk and has zero hold time and 10ns setup time.

Synchronizing Multiple AD9953s
AD9953
The AD9953 product allows easy synchronization of multiple AD9953s. There are three modes of synchronization available to the user: an automatic synchronization mode; a software controlled manual synchronization mode; and a hardware controlled manual synchronization mode. In all cases, when a user wants to synchronize two or more devices, the following considerations must be observed. First, all units must share a common clock source. Trace lengths and path impedance of the clock tree must be designed to keep the phase delay of the different clock branches as closely matched as possible. Second, the I/O update signal's rising edge must be provided synchronously to all devices in the system. Finally, regardless of the internal synchronization method used, the DVDD_I/O supply should be set to 3.3V for all devices that are to be synchronized. AVDD and DVDD should be left at 1.8V. In automatic synchronization mode, one device is chosen as a master, the other device(s) will be slaved to this master. When configured in this mode, all the slaves will automatically synchronize their internal clocks to the sync_clk output signal of the master device. To enter automatic synchronization mode, set the slave device's automatic synchronization bit (CFR1<23>=1). Connect the SYNC_IN input(s) to the master SYNC_CLK output. The slave device will continuously update the phase relationship of its sync_clk until it is in phase with the SYNC_IN input, which is the sync_clk of the master device. When attempting to synchronize devices running at sysclk speeds beyond 250MSPS, the high-speed sync enhancement enable bit should be set (CFR2<11>=1). In software manual synchronization mode, the user forces the device to advance the sync_clk rising edge one sysclk cycle (1/4 sync_clk period). To activate the manual synchronization mode, set the slave device's software manual synchronization bit (CFR1<22> =1). The bit (CFR1<22>) will be immediately cleared. To advance the rising edge of the sync_clk multiple times, this bit will need to be set multiple times. In hardware manual synchronization mode, the SYNC_IN input pin is configured such that it will now advance the rising edge of the sync_clk signal each time the device detects a rising edge on the SYNC_IN pin. To put the device into hardware manual synchronization mode, set the hardware manual synchronization bit (CFR2<10>=1). Unlike the software manual synchronization bit, this bit does not self-clear. Once the hardware manual synchronization mode is enabled, all rising edges detected on the SYNC_IN input will cause the device to advance the rising edge of the sync_clk by one sysclk cycle until this enable bit is cleared (CFR2<10=0).
Using a Single Crystal To Drive Multiple AD9953 Clock Inputs
The AD9953 crystal oscillator output signal is available on the CrystalOut pin, enabling one crystal to drive multiple AD9953s. In order to drive multiple AD9953s with one crystal, the CrystalOut pin of the AD9953 using the external crystal should be connected to the REFCLK input of the other AD9953.

PRELIMINARY TECHNICAL DATA AD9953 The CrystalOut pin is static until the CFR2<1> bit is set, enabling the output. The drive strength of the CrystalOut pin is typically very low, so this signal should be buffered prior to using it to drive any loads.
Serial Port Operation
With the AD9953, the Instruction Byte specifies read/write operation and register address. Serial operations on the AD9953 occur only at the register level, not the byte level. For the AD9953, the serial port controller recognizes the Instruction Byte register address and automatically generates the proper register byte address. In addition, the controller expects that all bytes of that register will be accessed. It is a requirement that all bytes of a register be accessed during serial I/O operations, with one exception. The SYNCIO function can be used to abort an IO operation thereby allowing less than all bytes to be accessed. There are two phases to a communication cycle with the AD9953. Phase 1 is the instruction cycle, which is the writing of an instruction byte into the AD9953, coincident with the first eight SCLK rising edges. The instruction byte provides the AD9953 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 and the serial address of the register being accessed. [Note - the serial address of the register being accessed is NOT the same address as the bytes to be written. See the Example Operation section below for details]. The first eight SCLK rising edges of each communication cycle are used to write the instruction byte into the AD9953. The remaining SCLK edges are for Phase 2 of the communication cycle. Phase 2 is the actual data transfer between the AD9953 and the system controller. The number of bytes transferred during Phase 2 of the communication cycle is a function of the register being accessed. For example, when accessing the Control Function Register 2, which is three bytes wide, Phase 2 requires that three bytes be transferred. If accessing the Frequency Tuning Word, which is four bytes wide, Phase 2 requires that four bytes be transferred. After transferring all data bytes per the instruction, the communication cycle is completed. At the completion of any communication cycle, the AD9953 serial port controller expects the next 8 rising SCLK edges to be the instruction byte of the next communication cycle.All data input to the AD9953 is registered on the rising edge of SCLK. All data is driven out of the AD9953 on the falling edge of SCLK. Figures 34 - 37 are useful in understanding the general operation of the AD9953 Serial Port.

Serial Interface Port Pin Description
SCLK -- Serial Clock. The serial clock pin is used to synchronize data to and from the AD9953 and to run the internal state machines. SCLK maximum frequency is 25 MHz. CSB -- Chip Select Bar. Active low input that allows more than one device on the same serial communications line. The SDO and SDIO pins will go to a high impedance state when this input is high. If driven high during any communications cycle, that cycle is suspended until CS is reactivated low. Chip Select can be tied low in systems that maintain control of SCLK. SDIO -- Serial Data I/O. Data is always written into the AD9953 on this pin. However, this pin can be used as a bi-directional data line. Bit 7 of register address 0h controls the configuration of this pin. The default is logic zero, which configures the SDIO pin as bi-directional. 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 AD9953 operates in a single bi-directional I/O mode, this pin does not output data and is set to a high impedance state. SYNCIO -- Synchronizes the I/O port state machines without affecting the addressable registers contents. An active high input on the SYNC I/O pin causes the current communication cycle to abort. After SYNC I/O returns low (Logic 0) another communication cycle may begin, starting with the instruction byte write.
MSB/LSB Transqfers
The AD9953 serial port can support both most significant bit (MSB) first or least significant bit (LSB) first data formats. This functionality is controlled by the Control Register 00h<8> bit. The default value of Control Register 00h<8> is low (MSB first). When Control Register 00h<8> is set high, the AD9953 serial port is in LSB first format. The instruction byte must be written in the format indicated by Control Register 00h<8>. That is, if the AD9953 is in LSB first mode, the instruction byte must be written from least significant bit to most significant bit. For MSB first operation, the serial port controller will generate the most significant byte (of the specified register) address first followed by the next lesser significant byte addresses until the IO

PRELIMINARY TECHNICAL DATA AD9953 operation is complete. All data written to (read from) the AD9953 must be (will be) in MSB first order. If the LSB mode is active, the serial port controller will generate the least significant byte address first followed by the next greater significant byte addresses until the IO operation is complete. All data written to (read from) the AD9953 must be (will be) in LSB first order.
Example Operation
To write the Amplitude Scale Factor register in MSB first format apply an instruction byte of 02h (serial address is 00010(b)). From this instruction, the internal controller will generate an internal byte address of 07h (see the register map) for the first data byte written and an internal address of 08h for the next byte written. Since the Amplitude Scale Factor register is two bytes wide, this ends the communication cycle. To write the Amplitude Scale Factor register in LSB first format apply an instruction byte of 40h. From this instruction, the internal controller will generate an internal byte address of 07h (see the register map) for the first data byte written and an internal address of 08h for the next byte written. Since the Amplitude Scale Factor register is two bytes wide, this ends the communication cycle.
RAM I/O Via Serial Port
Accessing the RAM via the serial port is identical to any other serial IO operation except that the number of bytes transferred is determined by the address space between the beginning address and the final address as specified in the current RAM Segment Control Word (RSCW). The final address describes the most significant word address for all IO transfers and the beginning address specifies the least significant address. RAM I/O supports MSB/LSB first operation. When in MSB first mode, the first data byte will be for the most significant byte of the memory address described by the final address with the remaining three bytes making up the lesser significant bytes of that address. The remaining bytes come in most significant to least significant, destined for RAM addresses generated in descending order until the final four bytes are written into the address specified as the beginning address. When in LSB first mode, the first data byte will be for the least significant byte of the memory (specified by the beginning address) with the remaining three bytes making up the greater significant bytes of that address. The remaining bytes come in least significant to most significant, destined for RAM addresses generated in ascending order until the final four bytes are written into the memory address described by the final address. Of course, the bit order for all bytes is least significant to most significant first when in the LSB first bit is set. When the LSB first bit is cleared (default) the bit order for all bytes is most significant to least significant. The RAM uses serial address 01011(b), so the instruction byte to write the RAM is 0Bh, in MSB first notation. As mentioned above, the RAM addresses generated are specified by the beginning and final address of the RSCW currently selected by the Profile<1:0> pins.

Notes on Serial Port Operation
AD9953
1) The AD9953 serial port configuration bits reside in bits 8 and 9 of CFR1 (address 00h). The configuration changes immediately upon writing to this register. For multi-byte transfers, writing to this register may occur during the middle of a communication cycle. Care must be taken to compensate for this new configuration for the remainder of the current communication cycle. 2) The system must maintain synchronization with the AD9953 or the internal control logic will not be able to recognize further instructions. For example, if the system sends an instruction byte that describes writing a 2-byte register, then pulses the SCLK pin for a 3byte write (24 additional SCLK rising edges), communication synchronization is lost. In this case, the first 16 SCLK rising edges after the instruction cycle will properly write the first two data bytes into the AD9953, but the next eight rising SCLK edges are interpreted as the next instruction byte, not the final byte of the previous communication cycle. In the case where synchronization is lost between the system and the AD9953, the SYNC I/O pin provides a means to re-establish synchronization without re-initializing the entire chip. The SYNC I/O pin enables the user to reset the AD9953 state machine to accept the next eight SCLK rising edges to be coincident with the instruction phase of a new communication cycle. By applying and removing a "high" signal to the SYNC I/O pin, the AD9953 is set to once again begin performing the communication cycle in synchronization with the system. Any information that had been written to the AD9953 registers during a valid communication cycle prior to loss of synchronization will remain intact. 3) Reading profile registers requires that the profile select pins (Profile<1:0>) be configured to select the desired register bank. When reading a register that resides in one of the profiles, the register address acts as an offset to select one of the registers among the group of registers defined by the profile. While the profile select pins select the appropriate register group.
Power Down Functions of the AD9953
The AD9953 supports an externally controlled, or hardware, power down feature as well as the more common software programmable power down bits found in previous ADI DDS products. The software control power down allows the DAC, Comparator, PLL, Input Clock circuitry and the digital logic to be individually power down via unique control bits (CFR1<7:4>). With the exception of CFR1<6>, these bits are not active when the externally controlled power down pin (PwrDwnCtl) is high. External Power Down Control is supported on the AD9953 via the PwrDwnCtl input pin. When the PwrDwnCtl input pin is high, the AD9953 will enter a power down mode based on the CFR1<3> bit. When the PwrDwnCtl input pin is low, the external power down control is inactive.

PRELIMINARY TECHNICAL DATA AD9953 When the CFR1<3> bit is zero, and the PwrDwnCtl input pin is high, the AD9953 is put into a "fast recovery power down" mode. In this mode, the digital logic and the DAC digital logic are powered down. The DAC bias circuitry, comparator, PLL, oscillator, and clock input circuitry is NOT powered down. The comparator can be powered down by setting the Comparator Power Down Bit, CFR1<6> =1. When the CFR1<3> bit is high, and the PwrDwnCtl input pin is high, the AD9953 is put into the "full power down" mode. In this mode, all functions are powered down. This includes the DAC and PLL, which take a significant amount of time to power up. When the PwrDwnCtl input pin is high, the individual power down bits (CFR1<7>, <5:4>) are invalid (don't care) and are unused; however the Comparator Power Down bit, CFR1<6>, will continue to control the power-down of the comparator. When the PwrDwnCtl input pin is low, the individual power down bits control the power down modes of operation. NOTE - The power down signals are all designed such that a logic 1 indicates the low power mode and a logic zero indicates the active, or powered up mode. The table below indicates the logic level for each power down bit that drives out of the AD9953 core logic to the analog section and the digital clock generation section of the chip for the External Power Down operation.
