GENERAL DESCRIPTION
11.25°, and any combination thereof. The AD9850 also contains
a high speed comparator that can be configured to accept the
(externally) filtered output of the DAC to generate a low jitter
square wave output. This facilitates the device’s use as an
agile clock generator function.
The AD9850 is a highly integrated device that uses advanced
DDS technology coupled with an internal high speed, high
performance D/A converter and comparator to form a com-
plete, digitally programmable frequency synthesizer and
clock generator function. When referenced to an accurate
clock source, the AD9850 generates a spectrally pure, fre-
quency/phase programmable, analog output sine wave. This
sine wave can be used directly as a frequency source, or it can
be converted to a square wave for agile-clock generator applica-
tions. The AD9850’s innovative high speed DDS core provides
a 32-bit frequency tuning word, which results in an output
tuning resolution of 0.0291 Hz for a 125 MHz reference clock
input. The AD9850’s circuit architecture allows the generation
of output frequencies of up to one-half the reference clock
frequency (or 62.5 MHz), and the output frequency can be digi-
tally changed (asynchronously) at a rate of up to 23 million new
frequencies per second. The device also provides five bits of
digitally controlled phase modulation, which enables phase
shifting of its output in increments of 180°, 90°, 45°, 22.5°,
The frequency tuning, control, and phase modulation words are
loaded into the AD9850 via a parallel byte or serial loading
format. The parallel load format consists of five iterative loads
of an 8-bit control word (byte). The first byte controls phase
modulation, power-down enable, and loading format; Bytes 2 to
5 comprise the 32-bit frequency tuning word. Serial loading is
accomplished via a 40-bit serial data stream on a single pin. The
AD9850 Complete DDS uses advanced CMOS technology to
provide this breakthrough level of functionality and performance
on just 155 mW of power dissipation (3.3 V supply).
The AD9850 is available in a space-saving 28-lead SSOP,
surface-mount package. It is specified to operate over the
extended industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C.
