Low Power, 8.5 mW, 2.3 V to 5.5 V,  
Programmable Waveform Generator  
AD9837  
FEATURES  
GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
Digitally programmable frequency and phase  
8.5 mW power consumption at 2.3 V  
MCLK speed: 16 MHz (B grade), 5 MHz (A grade)  
28-bit resolution: 0.06 Hz at 16 MHz reference clock  
Sinusoidal, triangular, and square wave outputs  
2.3 V to 5.5 V power supply  
3-wire SPI interface  
Extended temperature range: −40°C to +125°C  
Power-down option  
The AD9837 is a low power, programmable waveform generator  
capable of producing sine, triangular, and square wave outputs.  
Waveform generation is required in various types of sensing,  
actuation, and time domain reflectometry (TDR) applications.  
The output frequency and phase are software programmable,  
allowing easy tuning. The frequency registers are 28 bits wide:  
with a 16 MHz clock rate, resolution of 0.06 Hz can be achieved;  
with a 5 MHz clock rate, the AD9837 can be tuned to 0.02 Hz  
resolution.  
10-lead LFCSP  
The AD9837 is written to via a 3-wire serial interface. This serial  
interface operates at clock rates up to 40 MHz and is compatible  
with DSP and microcontroller standards. The device operates  
with a power supply from 2.3 V to 5.5 V.  
APPLICATIONS  
Frequency stimulus/waveform generation  
Liquid and gas flow measurement  
Sensory applications: proximity, motion,  
and defect detection  
Line loss/attenuation  
Test and medical equipment  
The AD9837 has a power-down (sleep) function. Sections of the  
device that are not being used can be powered down to minimize  
the current consumption of the part. For example, the DAC can  
be powered down when a clock output is being generated.  
Sweep/clock generators  
Time domain reflectometry (TDR) applications  
The AD9837 is available in a 10-lead LFCSP_WD package.

COMP  
VDD  
DAC Bias Pin. This pin is used for decoupling the DAC bias voltage.  
Positive Power Supply for the Analog and Digital Interface Sections. The on-board 2.5 V regulator is also  
supplied from VDD. VDD can have a value from 2.3 V to 5.5 V. A 0.1 μF and a 10 μF decoupling capacitor should  
be connected between VDD and AGND.

CAP/2.5V  
The digital circuitry operates from a 2.5 V power supply. This 2.5 V is generated from VDD using an on-board  
regulator when VDD exceeds 2.7 V. The regulator requires a decoupling capacitor of 100 nF typical, which is  
connected from CAP/2.5V to DGND. If VDD is less than or equal to 2.7 V, CAP/2.5V should be tied directly to  
VDD to bypass the on-board regulator.

AD9837  
TERMINOLOGY  
Integral Nonlinearity (INL)  
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)  
INL is the maximum deviation of any code from a straight line  
passing through the endpoints of the transfer function. The  
endpoints of the transfer function are zero scale, a point 0.5 LSB  
below the first code transition (000 … 00 to 000 … 01), and full  
scale, a point 0.5 LSB above the last code transition (111 … 10  
to 111 … 11). The error is expressed in LSBs.  
Total harmonic distortion (THD) is the ratio of the rms sum of  
harmonics to the rms value of the fundamental. For the AD9837,  
THD is defined as  
2
V22 +V32 +V4 2 +V52 +V6  
THD = 20 log  
V1  
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)  
where:  
DNL is the difference between the measured and ideal 1 LSB  
change between two adjacent codes in the DAC. A specified  
DNL of 1 LSB maximum ensures monotonicity.  
V1 is the rms amplitude of the fundamental.  
V2, V3, V4, V5, and V6 are the rms amplitudes of the second  
through sixth harmonics.  
Output Compliance  
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)  
Output compliance refers to the maximum voltage that can be  
generated at the output of the DAC to meet the specifications.  
When voltages greater than that specified for the output compli-  
ance are generated, the AD9837 may not meet the specifications  
listed in the data sheet.  
SNR is the ratio of the rms value of the measured output signal  
to the rms sum of all other spectral components below the  
Nyquist frequency. The value for SNR is expressed in decibels.  
Clock Feedthrough  
There is feedthrough from the MCLK input to the analog  
output. Clock feedthrough refers to the magnitude of the  
MCLK signal relative to the fundamental frequency in the  
output spectrum of the AD9837.  
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)  
Along with the frequency of interest, harmonics of the funda-  
mental frequency and images of these frequencies are present at  
the output of a DDS device. The spurious-free dynamic range  
(SFDR) refers to the largest spur or harmonic present in the  
band of interest. The wideband SFDR gives the magnitude of  
the largest spur or harmonic relative to the magnitude of the  
fundamental frequency in the 0 to Nyquist bandwidth. The  
narrow-band SFDR gives the attenuation of the largest spur or  
harmonic in a bandwidth of 200 kHz about the fundamental  
frequency.

AD9837  
THEORY OF OPERATION  
Sine waves are typically thought of in terms of their magnitude  
form: a(t) = sin(ωt). However, sine waves are nonlinear and not  
easy to generate except through piecewise construction. On the  
other hand, the angular information is linear in nature; that is,  
the phase angle rotates through a fixed angle for each unit of  
time. The angular rate depends on the frequency of the signal  
by the traditional rate of ω = 2πf.  
Solving for f and substituting the reference clock frequency for  
the reference period (1/fMCLK = Δt),  
f = ΔPhase × fMCLK∕2π  
(3)  
The AD9837 builds the output based on this simple equation. A  
simple DDS chip can implement this equation with three major  
subcircuits: numerically controlled oscillator (NCO) plus phase  
modulator, SIN ROM, and digital-to-analog converter (DAC).  
Each subcircuit is described in the Circuit Description section.  
MAGNITUDE  
+1  
The AD9837 provides a sampled signal with its output following  
the Nyquist sampling theorem. Specifically, its output spectrum  
contains the fundamental plus aliased signals (images) that occur  
at multiples of the reference clock frequency and the selected  
output frequency. A graphical representation of the sampled  
spectrum with aliased images is shown in Figure 19.

The prominence of the aliased images depends on the ratio of  
fOUT to MCLK. If the ratio is small, the aliased images are very  
prominent and of a relatively high energy level as determined by  
the sin(x)/x roll-off of the quantized DAC output. In fact, depend-  
ing on the fOUT/reference clock ratio, the first aliased image can  
be on the order of −3 dB below the fundamental.

Figure 18. Sine Wave  
Knowing that the phase of a sine wave is linear and given a  
reference interval (clock period), the phase rotation for that  
period can be determined as follows:  
External filtering is required if the aliased image is within the  
output band of interest.  
ΔPhase = ωΔt

AD9837  
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION  
The AD9837 is a fully integrated direct digital synthesis (DDS)  
chip. The chip requires a reference clock and decoupling capa-  
citors to provide digitally created sine waves up to 8 MHz. In  
addition to the generation of this RF signal, the chip is fully  
capable of a broad range of simple and complex modulation  
schemes. These modulation schemes are fully implemented in  
the digital domain, allowing accurate and simple realization  
of complex modulation algorithms using DSP techniques.  
SIN ROM  
To make the output from the NCO useful, it must be converted  
from phase information into a sinusoidal value. Because phase  
information maps directly to amplitude, the SIN ROM uses the  
digital phase information as an address to a lookup table and  
converts the phase information into amplitude.  
Although the NCO contains a 28-bit phase accumulator, the out-  
put of the NCO is truncated to 12 bits. Using the full resolution  
of the phase accumulator is impractical and unnecessary because  
a lookup table of 228 entries would be required. It is only necessary  
to have sufficient phase resolution such that the errors due to  
truncation are smaller than the resolution of the 10-bit DAC.  
Therefore, the SIN ROM must have two bits of phase resolution  
more than the 10-bit DAC.  
The internal circuitry of the AD9837 consists of the following  
main sections: a numerically controlled oscillator (NCO),  
frequency and phase modulators, SIN ROM, a digital-to-analog  
converter, and a regulator.  
NUMERICALLY CONTROLLED OSCILLATOR PLUS  
PHASE MODULATOR  
The SIN ROM is enabled using the MODE bit (Bit D1) in the  
control register (see Table 16).  
The AD9837 consists of two frequency select registers, a phase  
accumulator, two phase offset registers, and a phase offset adder.  
The main component of the NCO is a 28-bit phase accumulator.  
Continuous time signals have a phase range of 0 to 2π. Outside  
this range of numbers, the sinusoid functions repeat themselves  
in a periodic manner. The digital implementation is no different.  
The accumulator simply scales the range of phase numbers into  
a multibit digital word. The phase accumulator in the AD9837  
is implemented with 28 bits. Therefore, in the AD9837, 2π = 228.  
Likewise, the ΔPhase term is scaled into this range of numbers:  
DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG CONVERTER (DAC)  
The AD9837 includes a high impedance, current source, 10-bit  
DAC. The DAC receives the digital words from the SIN ROM  
and converts them into the corresponding analog voltages.  
The DAC is configured for single-ended operation. An external  
load resistor is not required because the device has an on-board  
200 Ω resistor. The DAC generates an output voltage of 0.6 V p-p  
typical.  
0 < ΔPhase < 228 − 1  
REGULATOR  
With these substitutions, Equation 3 becomes  
VDD provides the power supply required for the analog section  
and the digital section of the AD9837. This supply can have a  
value of 2.3 V to 5.5 V.  
f = ΔPhase × fMCLK∕228  
where 0 < ΔPhase < 228 − 1.  
(4)  
The input to the phase accumulator can be selected from either  
the FREQ0 register or the FREQ1 register and is controlled by  
the FSEL bit in the control register. NCOs inherently generate  
continuous phase signals, thus avoiding any output discontinuity  
when switching between frequencies.  
The internal digital section of the AD9837 is operated at 2.5 V.  
An on-board regulator steps down the voltage applied at VDD  
to 2.5 V. When the applied voltage at the VDD pin of the AD9837  
is less than or equal to 2.7 V, the CAP/2.5V and VDD pins should  
be tied together to bypass the on-board regulator.  
Following the NCO, a phase offset can be added to perform phase  
modulation using the 12-bit phase registers. The contents of one  
of these phase registers is added to the MSBs of the NCO. The  
AD9837 has two phase registers; their resolution is 2π/4096.

AD9837  
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION  
SERIAL INTERFACE  
LATENCY PERIOD  
The AD9837 has a standard 3-wire serial interface that is  
compatible with the SPI, QSPI™, MICROWIRE®, and DSP  
interface standards.  
A latency period is associated with each asynchronous write  
operation in the AD9837. If a selected frequency or phase  
register is loaded with a new word, there is a delay of seven  
or eight MCLK cycles before the analog output changes. The  
delay can be seven or eight cycles, depending on the position  
of the MCLK rising edge when the data is loaded into the  
destination register.  
Data is loaded into the device as a 16-bit word under the control  
of a serial clock input, SCLK. The timing diagram for this oper-  
ation is given in Figure 3.  
FSYNC is a level triggered input that acts as a frame synchroni-  
zation and chip enable input. Data can be transferred into the  
device only when FSYNC is low. To start the serial data transfer,  
FSYNC should be taken low, observing the minimum FSYNC  
to SCLK falling edge setup time, t7 (see Table 2). After FSYNC  
goes low, serial data is shifted into the input shift register of the  
device on the falling edges of SCLK for 16 clock pulses. FSYNC  
can be taken high after the 16th falling edge of SCLK, observing  
the minimum SCLK falling edge to FSYNC rising edge time, t8.  
Alternatively, FSYNC can be kept low for a multiple of 16 SCLK  
pulses and then brought high at the end of the data transfer. In  
this way, a continuous stream of 16-bit words can be loaded  
while FSYNC is held low; FSYNC goes high only after the 16th  
SCLK falling edge of the last word loaded.  
CONTROL REGISTER  
The AD9837 contains a 16-bit control register that allows the  
user to configure the operation of the AD9837. All control bits  
other than the MODE bit are sampled on the internal falling  
edge of MCLK.  
Figure 20 illustrates the functions of the control bits. Table 7  
describes the individual bits of the control register. The different  
functions and the various output options of the AD9837 are  
described in more detail in the following sections.  
To inform the AD9837 that the contents of the control register  
will be altered, Bit D15 and Bit D14 must be set to 0, as shown  
in Table 6.  
The SCLK can be continuous, or it can idle high or low between  
write operations. In either case, it must be high when FSYNC  
goes low (t11).

Table 7. Control Register Bit Descriptions  
Bit  
Bit Name  
Description  
D13  
B28  
Two write operations are required to load a complete word into either of the frequency registers.  
B28 = 1 allows a complete word to be loaded into a frequency register in two consecutive writes. The first write  
contains the 14 LSBs of the frequency word, and the second write contains the 14 MSBs. The first two bits of each  
16-bit word define the frequency register to which the word is loaded and should, therefore, be the same for both  
consecutive writes. See Table 9 for the appropriate addresses. The write to the frequency register occurs after both  
words have been loaded, so the register never holds an intermediate value. An example of a complete 28-bit write  
is shown in Table 10. Note, however, that consecutive 28-bit writes to the same frequency register are not allowed;  
to execute consecutive 28-bit writes, you must alternate between the frequency registers.  
B28 = 0 configures the 28-bit frequency register to operate as two 14-bit registers, one containing the 14 MSBs and  
the other containing the 14 LSBs. In this way, the 14 MSBs of the frequency word can be altered independently of  
the 14 LSBs, and vice versa. To alter the 14 MSBs or the 14 LSBs, a single write is made to the appropriate frequency  
address. Bit D12 (HLB) informs the AD9837 whether the bits to be altered are the 14 MSBs or the 14 LSBs.  
D12  
HLB  
This control bit allows the user to continuously load the MSBs or LSBs of a frequency register while ignoring the  
remaining 14 bits. This is useful if the complete 28-bit resolution is not required. The HLB bit is used in conjunction  
with the B28 bit (Bit D13). The HLB bit indicates whether the 14 bits to be loaded are transferred to the 14 MSBs or  
the 14 LSBs of the addressed frequency register. Bit D13 (B28) must be set to 0 to change the MSBs or LSBs of a  
frequency word separately. When Bit D13 (B28) is set to 1, the HLB bit is ignored.  
HLB = 1 allows a write to the 14 MSBs of the addressed frequency register.  
HLB = 0 allows a write to the 14 LSBs of the addressed frequency register.  
D11  
D10  
FSEL  
PSEL  
The FSEL bit defines whether the FREQ0 register or the FREQ1 register is used in the phase accumulator (see Table 8).  
The PSEL bit defines whether the PHASE0 register data or the PHASE1 register data is added to the output of the  
phase accumulator (see Table 8).  
D9  
D8  
Reserved  
RESET  
This bit should be set to 0.  
This bit controls the reset function.  
RESET = 1 resets internal registers to 0, which corresponds to an analog output of midscale.  
RESET = 0 disables the reset function (see the Reset Function section).  
D7  
SLEEP1  
This bit enables or disables the internal MCLK.  
SLEEP1 = 1 disables the internal MCLK. The DAC output remains at its present value because the NCO is no longer  
accumulating.  
SLEEP1 = 0 enables the internal MCLK (see the Sleep Function section).  
D6  
D5  
SLEEP12  
OPBITEN  
This bit powers down the on-chip DAC.  
SLEEP12 = 1 powers down the on-chip DAC. This is useful when the AD9837 is used to output the MSB of the DAC data.  
SLEEP12 = 0 implies that the DAC is active (see the Sleep Function section).  
This bit, in association with the MODE bit (Bit D1), controls the output at the VOUT pin (see Table 16).  
OPBITEN = 1 causes the output of the DAC to no longer be available at the VOUT pin. Instead, the MSB (or MSB/2) of  
the DAC data is connected to the VOUT pin. This output is useful as a coarse clocꢀ source. The DIV2 bit (Bit D3)  
controls whether the VOUT pin outputs the MSB or the MSB/2.  
OPBITEN = 0 connects the output of the DAC to VOUT. The MODE bit (Bit D1) determines whether the output is  
sinusoidal or triangular.  
D4  
D3  
Reserved  
DIV2  
This bit must be set to 0.  
DIV2 is used in association with Bit D5 (OPBITEN). See Table 16.  
DIV2 = 1 causes the MSB of the DAC data to be output at the VOUT pin.  
DIV2 = 0 causes the MSB/2 of the DAC data to be output at the VOUT pin.  
This bit must be set to 0.  
This bit, in association with the OPBITEN bit (Bit D5), controls the output at the VOUT pin when the on-chip DAC is  
connected to VOUT. This bit should be set to 0 if the OPBITEN bit is set to 1 (see Table 16).  
MODE = 1 bypasses the SIN ROM, resulting in a triangle output from the DAC.  
D2  
D1  
Reserved  
MODE  
MODE = 0 uses the SIN ROM to convert the phase information into amplitude information, resulting in a sinusoidal  
signal at the output. (The OPBITEN bit (Bit D5) must also be set to 0 for sinusoidal output.)  
D0  
Reserved  
This bit must be set to 0.

When the FSEL bit = 1, the FREQ1  
register defines the output frequency  
as a fraction of the MCLK frequency.  
In some applications, the user does not need to alter all 28 bits  
of the frequency register. With coarse tuning, only the 14 MSBs  
are altered; with fine tuning, only the 14 LSBs are altered. By  
setting the B28 control bit (Bit D13) to 0, the 28-bit frequency  
register operates as two 14-bit registers, one containing the  
14 MSBs and the other containing the 14 LSBs. In this way, the  
14 MSBs of the frequency word can be altered independently  
of the 14 LSBs, and vice versa. The HLB bit (Bit D12) in the  
control register identifies which 14 bits are being altered (see  
Table 11 and Table 12).

mode of operation, the B28 control bit (Bit D13) must be set  
to 1. An example of a 28-bit write is shown in Table 10.

AD9837  
The OPBITEN and MODE bits (Bit D5 and Bit D1 in the  
control register) are used to determine the output that is  
available from the AD9837 (see Table 16).  
RESET FUNCTION  
The reset function resets the appropriate internal registers to 0  
to provide an analog output of midscale. A reset does not reset  
the phase, frequency, or control registers. When the AD9837 is  
powered up, the part should be reset (see the Powering Up the  
AD9837 section). To reset the AD9837, set the RESET bit to 1.  
To take the part out of reset, set the bit to 0. A signal appears at  
the DAC output seven or eight MCLK cycles after the RESET  
bit is set to 0.

The MSB of the DAC data can be output from the AD9837. By  
setting the OPBITEN bit (Bit D5) to 1, the MSB of the DAC data  
is available at the VOUT pin. This is useful as a coarse clock  
source. This square wave can also be divided by 2 before being  
output. The DIV2 bit (Bit D3) in the control register controls  
the frequency of this output from the VOUT pin.  
SLEEP FUNCTION  
Sections of the AD9837 that are not in use can be powered  
down to minimize power consumption by using the sleep  
function. The parts of the chip that can be powered down are  
the internal clock and the DAC. The bits required for the sleep  
function are shown in Table 15.  
Sinusoidal Output  
The SIN ROM converts the phase information from the frequency  
and phase registers into amplitude information, resulting in a  
sinusoidal signal at the output. To obtain a sinusoidal output  
from the VOUT pin, set the MODE bit (Bit D1) to 0 and the  
OPBITEN bit (Bit D5) to 0.

Triangle Output  
The SIN ROM can be bypassed so that the truncated digital output  
from the NCO is sent to the DAC. In this case, the output is no  
longer sinusoidal. The DAC produces a 10-bit linear triangular  
function (see Figure 21). To obtain a triangle output from the  
VOUT pin, set the MODE bit (Bit D1) to 1 and the OPBITEN  
bit (Bit D5) to 0.  
DAC Powered Down  
When the AD9837 is used to output the MSB of the DAC data  
only, the DAC is not required. The DAC can be powered down  
using the SLEEP12 bit to reduce power consumption.

Internal Clock Disabled  
When the internal clock of the AD9837 is disabled, the DAC  
output remains at its present value because the NCO is no  
longer accumulating. New frequency, phase, and control words  
can be written to the part when the SLEEP1 control bit is active.  
Because the synchronizing clock (FSYNC) remains active, the  
selected frequency and phase registers can also be changed using  
the control bits. Setting the SLEEP1 bit to 0 enables the MCLK.  
Any changes made to the registers while SLEEP1 was active are  
observed at the output after a latency period (see the Latency  
Period section).

POWERING UP THE AD9837  
The flowchart in Figure 22 shows the operating routine for the  
AD9837. When the AD9837 is powered up, the part should be  
reset. This resets the appropriate internal registers to 0 to provide  
an analog output of midscale. To avoid spurious DAC outputs  
during AD9837 initialization, the RESET bit should be set to 1  
until the part is ready to begin generating an output.  
VOUT PIN  
A reset does not reset the phase, frequency, or control registers.  
These registers will contain invalid data and, therefore, should  
be set to known values by the user. The RESET bit should then  
be set to 0 to begin generating an output. The data appears on  
the DAC output seven or eight MCLK cycles after the RESET  
bit is set to 0.  
The AD9837 offers a variety of outputs from the chip, all of  
which are available from the VOUT pin. The available outputs  
are the MSB of the DAC data, a sinusoidal output, or a triangle  
output.

AD9837  
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
The various output options available from the AD9837 make  
the part suitable for a wide variety of applications, including  
modulation applications. The AD9837 can be used to perform  
simple modulation, such as frequency shift keying (FSK). More  
complex modulation schemes, such as Gaussian minimum shift  
keying (GMSK) and quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), can  
also be implemented using the AD9837.  
Good decoupling is important. The AD9837 should have supply  
bypassing of 0.1 μF ceramic capacitors in parallel with 10 μF  
tantalum capacitors. To achieve the best performance from the  
decoupling capacitors, they should be placed as close as possible  
to the device, ideally right up against the device.  
INTERFACING TO MICROPROCESSORS  
The AD9837 has a standard serial interface that allows the part to  
interface directly with several microprocessors. The device uses  
an external serial clock to write the data or control information  
into the device. The serial clock can have a frequency of 40 MHz  
maximum. The serial clock can be continuous, or it can idle high  
or low between write operations. When data or control informa-  
tion is written to the AD9837, FSYNC is taken low and is held  
low until the 16 bits of data are written into the AD9837. The  
FSYNC signal frames the 16 bits of information that are loaded  
into the AD9837.  
In an FSK application, the two frequency registers of the AD9837  
are loaded with different values. One frequency represents the  
space frequency, and the other represents the mark frequency.  
Using the FSEL bit in the control register of the AD9837, the user  
can modulate the carrier frequency between the two values.  
The AD9837 has two phase registers, enabling the part to per-  
form phase shift keying (PSK). With PSK, the carrier frequency  
is phase shifted, that is, the phase is altered by an amount that  
is related to the bit stream input to the modulator.  
The AD9837 is also suitable for signal generator applications.  
Because the MSB of the DAC data is available at the VOUT pin,  
the device can be used to generate a square wave.  
AD9837 to 68HC11/68L11 Interface  
Figure 25 shows the serial interface between the AD9837 and  
the 68HC11/68L11 microcontroller. The microcontroller is con-  
figured as the master by setting the MSTR bit in the SPCR to 1.  
This setting provides a serial clock on SCK; the MOSI output  
drives the serial data line, SDATA. Because the microcontroller  
does not have a dedicated frame sync pin, the FSYNC signal is  
derived from a port line (PC7). The setup conditions for correct  
operation of the interface are as follows:  
With its low current consumption, the part is also suitable for  
applications in which it can be used as a local oscillator.  
GROUNDING AND LAYOUT  
The printed circuit board that houses the AD9837 should be  
designed so that the analog and digital sections are separated  
and confined to certain areas of the board. This facilitates the use  
of ground planes that can be separated easily. A minimum etch  
technique is generally best for ground planes because it provides  
the best shielding. Digital and analog ground planes should be  
joined in one place only. If the AD9837 is the only device that  
requires an AGND to DGND connection, the ground planes  
should be connected at the AGND and DGND pins of the  
AD9837. If the AD9837 is in a system where multiple devices  
require AGND to DGND connections, the connection should  
be made at one point only, a star ground point that should be  
established as close as possible to the AD9837.  
SCK idles high between write operations (CPOL = 0)  
Data is valid on the SCK falling edge (CPHA = 1)  
When data is to be transmitted to the AD9837, the FSYNC line  
(PC7) is taken low. Serial data from the 68HC11/68L11 is trans-  
mitted in 8-bit bytes with only eight falling clock edges occurring  
in the transmit cycle. Data is transmitted MSB first. To load data  
into the AD9837, PC7 is held low after the first eight bits are  
transferred, and a second serial write operation is performed to  
the AD9837. Only after the second eight bits are transferred  
should FSYNC be taken high again.  
Avoid running digital lines under the device; these lines couple  
noise onto the die. The analog ground plane should be allowed  
to run under the AD9837 to avoid noise coupling. The power  
supply lines to the AD9837 should use as large a track as possible  
to provide low impedance paths and reduce the effects of glitches  
on the power supply line. Fast switching signals, such as clocks,  
should be shielded with digital ground to avoid radiating noise  
to other sections of the board.

Avoid crossover of digital and analog signals. Traces on opposite  
sides of the board should run at right angles to each other to  
reduce the effects of feedthrough through the board. A micro-  
strip technique is by far the best but is not always possible with  
a double-sided board. In this technique, the component side of  
the board is dedicated to ground planes and signals are placed  
on the other side.

AD9837 to 80C51/80L51 Interface  
AD9837 to DSP56002 Interface  
Figure 26 shows the serial interface between the AD9837 and  
the 80C51/80L51 microcontroller. The microcontroller is oper-  
ated in Mode 0 so that TxD of the 80C51/80L51 drives SCLK of  
the AD9837, and RxD drives the serial data line, SDATA. The  
FSYNC signal is derived from a bit programmable pin on the  
port (P3.3 is shown in Figure 26).  
Figure 27 shows the interface between the AD9837 and the  
DSP56002. The DSP56002 is configured for normal mode asyn-  
chronous operation with a gated internal clock (SYN = 0, GCK = 1,  
SCKD = 1). The frame sync pin is generated internally (SC2 = 1),  
the transfers are 16 bits wide (WL1 = 1, WL0 = 0), and the frame  
sync signal frames the 16 bits (FSL = 0). The frame sync signal is  
available on the SC2 pin, but it must be inverted before it is applied  
to the AD9837. The interface to the DSP56000/DSP56001 is  
similar to that of the DSP56002.  
When data is to be transmitted to the AD9837, P3.3 is taken low.  
The 80C51/80L51 transmits data in 8-bit bytes with only eight  
falling SCLK edges occurring in each cycle. To load the remain-  
ing eight bits to the AD9837, P3.3 is held low after the first eight  
bits are transmitted, and a second write operation is initiated to  
transmit the second byte of data. P3.3 is taken high following  
the completion of the second write operation. SCLK should idle  
high between the two write operations.

The 80C51/80L51 outputs the serial data in a format that has the  
LSB first. The AD9837 accepts the MSB first (the four MSBs are  
the control information, the next four bits are the address, and  
the eight LSBs contain the data when writing to a destination  
register). Therefore, the transmit routine of the 80C51/80L51  
must take this into account and rearrange the bits so that the  
MSB is output first.
