AD6672

Clock Duty Cycle

Typical high speed ADCs use both clock edges to generate a

variety of internal timing signals and, as a result, may be

sensitive to clock duty cycle. Commonly, a ±5% tolerance is

required on the clock duty cycle to maintain dynamic

performance characteristics.

The AD6672 contains a DCS that retimes the nonsampling

(falling) edge, providing an internal clock signal with a nominal

50% duty cycle. This allows the user to provide a wide range of

clock input duty cycles without affecting the performance of the

AD6672.

Jitter on the rising edge of the input clock is still of paramount

concern and is not reduced by the duty cycle stabilizer. The

duty cycle control loop does not function for clock rates less

than 40 MHz nominally. The loop has a time constant

associated with it that must be considered when the clock rate

may change dynamically. A wait time of 1.5 μs to 5 μs is

required after a dynamic clock frequency increase or decrease

before the DCS loop is relocked to the input signal. During the

time that the loop is not locked, the DCS loop is bypassed, and

internal device timing is dependent on the duty cycle of the

input clock signal. In such applications, it may be appropriate to

disable the duty cycle stabilizer. In all other applications,

enabling the DCS circuit is recommended to maximize ac

performance.

Jitter Considerations

High speed, high resolution ADCs are sensitive to the quality of

the clock input. The degradation in SNR at a given input

frequency (fIN) due to jitter (tJ) can be calculated by

SNRHF = −10 log[(2π × fIN × tJRMS)2 + 10 (−SNRLF /10) ]

In the equation, the rms aperture jitter represents the root-mean-

square of all jitter sources, which include the clock input, the

analog input signal, and the ADC aperture jitter specification.

IF undersampling applications are particularly sensitive to jitter,

as shown in Figure 34.

INPUT FREQUENCY (MHz)

Figure 34. SNR vs. Input Frequency and Jitter

In cases where aperture jitter may affect the dynamic range of the

AD6672, treat the clock input as an analog signal. In addition,

use separate power supplies for the clock drivers and the ADC

output driver to avoid modulating the clock signal with digital

noise. Low jitter, crystal controlled oscillators provide the best

clock sources. If the clock is generated from another type of

source (by gating, dividing, or another method), it should be

retimed by the original clock during the last step.

Refer to the AN-501 Application Note, Aperture Uncertainty and

ADC System Performance, and the AN-756 Application Note,

Sampled Systems and the Effects of Clock Phase Noise and Jitter, for

more information about jitter performance as it relates to ADCs.

POWER DISSIPATION AND STANDBY MODE

As shown in Figure 35, the power dissipated by the AD6672 is

proportional to its sample rate. The data in Figure 35 was taken

using the same operating conditions as those used for the

Typical Performance Characteristics section.

ENCODE FREQUENCY (MSPS)

Figure 35. AD6672-250 Power and Current vs. Sample Rate

By setting the internal power-down mode bits (Bits[1:0]) in the

power modes register (Address 0x08) to 01, the AD6672 is

placed in power-down mode. In this state, the ADC typically

dissipates 2.5 mW. During power-down, the output drivers are

placed in a high impedance state.

Low power dissipation in power-down mode is achieved by

shutting down the reference, reference buffer, biasing networks,

and clock. Internal capacitors are discharged when entering

power-down mode and then must be recharged when returning

to normal operation. As a result, the wake-up time is related to

the time spent in power-down mode, and shorter power-down

cycles result in proportionally shorter wake-up times.

When using the SPI port interface, the user can place the ADC

in power-down mode or standby mode. Standby mode allows

the user to keep the internal reference circuitry powered when

faster wake-up times are required. To put the part into standby

mode, set the internal power-down mode bits (Bits[1:0]) in the

power modes register (Address 0x08) to 10. See the Memory

Map section and the AN-877 Application Note, Interfacing to

High Speed ADCs via SPI, for additional details.
