APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

VERY LOW JITTER ENCODE CLOCK FOR HIGH

SPEED CONVERTERS

Figure 20 shows the ADF4002 with a VCXO to provide the

encode clock for a high speed analog-to-digital converter (ADC).

The converter used in this application is an AD9215-80, a 12-bit

converter that accepts up to an 80 MHz encode clock. To realize

a stable low jitter clock, use a 77.76 MHz, narrow-band VCXO.

This example assumes a 19.44 MHz reference clock.

To minimize the phase noise contribution of the ADF4002, the

smallest multiplication factor of 4 is used. Thus, the R divider is

programmed to 1, and the N divider is programmed to 4.

The charge pump output of the ADF4002 (Pin 2) drives the

loop filter. The loop filter bandwidth is optimized for the best

possible rms jitter, a key factor in the signal-to-noise ratio

(SNR) of the ADC. Too narrow a bandwidth allows the VCXO

noise to dominate at small offsets from the carrier frequency.

Too wide a bandwidth allows the ADF4002 noise to dominate at

offsets where the VCXO noise is lower than the ADF4002 noise.

Thus, the intersection of the VCXO noise and the ADF4002 in-

band noise is chosen as the optimum loop filter bandwidth.

The design of the loop filter uses the ADIsimPLL (Version 3.0) and

is available as a free download from www.analog.com/ADIsimPLL.

The rms jitter is measured at <1.2 ps. This level is lower than

the maximum allowable 6 ps rms required to ensure the

theoretical SNR performance of 59 dB for this converter.

The setup shown in Figure 20 using the ADF4002, AD9215, and

an ADC FIFO evaluation board allows the user to quickly and

effectively determine the suitability of the converter and encode

clock. The SPI® interface is used to control the ADF4002, and the

USB interface helps control the operation of the AD9215-80. The

controller board sends back FFT information to the PC that, if

using an ADC analyzer, provides all conversion results from the

ADC.

PFD

As the ADF4002 permits both R and N counters to be pro-

grammed to 1, the part can effectively be used as a standalone

PFD and charge pump. This is particularly useful in either a

clock cleaning application or a high performance LO. Addi-

tionally, the very low normalized phase noise floor (−222 dBc/Hz)

enables very low in-band phase noise levels. It is possible to

operate the PFD up to a maximum frequency of 104 MHz.

In Figure 21, the reference frequency equals the PFD; therefore,

R = 1. The charge pump output integrates into a stable control

voltage for the VCXO, and the output from the VCXO is divided

down to the desired PFD frequency using an external divider.

INTERFACING

The ADF4002 has a simple SPI-compatible serial interface for

writing to the device. CLK, DATA, and LE control the data

transfer. When the latch enable (Pin LE) goes high, the 24 bits

that have been clocked into the input register on each rising

edge of CLK are transferred to the appropriate latch. For more

information, see Figure 2 for the timing diagram and Table 6 for

the latch truth table.

The maximum allowable serial clock rate is 20 MHz. This

means that the maximum update rate possible for the device is

833 kHz, or one update every 1.2 μs. This is certainly more than

adequate for systems that have typical lock times in hundreds of

microseconds.
