I/O Description
1
I/O UPDATE
I
The rising edge transfers the contents of the internal buffer memory to the I/O registers. This pin
must be set up and held around the SYNC_CLK output signal.

OSC/REFCLK
OSC/REFCLK
I
I
Complementary Reference Clock/Oscillator Input. When the REFCLK port is operated in single-
ended mode, REFCLK should be decoupled to AVDD with a 0.1 μF capacitor.

Reference Clock/Oscillator Input. See Clock Input section for details on the OSCILLATOR/REFCLK
operation.

I
Output of the Oscillator Section.
Control Pin for the Oscillator Section. When high, the oscillator section is enabled. When low, the
oscillator section is bypassed.
12
LOOP_FILTER
I
This pin provides the connection for the external zero compensation network of the REFCLK
multiplier’s PLL loop filter. The network consists of a 1 kΩ resistor in series with a 0.1 μF capacitor
tied to AVDD.

DAC Output. Should be biased through a resistor to AVDD, not AGND.
DAC Biasline Decoupling Pin. A 0.1 ꢀF capacitor to AGND is recommended.
A resistor (3.92 kΩ nominal) connected from AGND to DAC_RSET establishes the reference current
for the DAC.

RESET
I
I
Input Pin Used as an External Power-Down Control (see Table 10 for details).
Active High Hardware Reset Pin. Assertion of the RESET pin forces the AD9953 to the initial state,
as described in the I/O port register map.
37
38
IOSYNC
SDO
I
Asynchronous Active High Reset of the Serial Port Controller. When high, the current I/O
operation is immediately terminated, enabling a new I/O operation to commence once IOSYNC is
returned low. If unused, ground this pin; do not allow this pin to float.
When operating the I/O port as a 3-wire serial port, this pin serves as the serial data output. When
operated as a 2-wire serial port, this pin is unused and can be left unconnected.

I
This pin functions as an active low chip select that allows multiple devices to share the I/O bus.
This pin functions as the serial data clock for I/O operations.
SCLK
SDIO
I/O When operating the I/O port as a 3-wire serial port, this pin serves as the serial data input only.
When operated as a 2-wire serial port, this pin is the bidirectional serial data pin.

DVDD_I/O
SYNC_IN
I
I
Digital Power Supply (for I/O Cells Only, 3.3 V).
Input Signal Used to Synchronize Multiple AD9953s. This input is connected to the SYNC_CLK
output of a master AD9953.

SYNC_CLK
OSK
O
I
Clock Output Pin that Serves as a Synchronizer for External Hardware.
Input Pin Used to Control the Direction of the Shaped On-Off Keying Function when Programmed
for Operation. OSK is synchronous to the SYNC_CLK pin. When OSK is not programmed, this pin
should be tied to DGND.

AGND
I
I
Input pin used to select one of the four internal profiles. Profile <1:0> are synchronous to the
SYNC_CLK pin. Any change in these inputs transfers the contents of the internal buffer memory
to the I/O registers (sends an internal I/O UPDATE).
The exposed paddle on the bottom of the package is a ground connection for the DAC and must
be attached to AGND in any board layout.
