GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The AD9851 contains an internal high speed comparator that  
can be configured to accept the (externally) filtered output of  
the DAC to generate a low jitter output pulse.  
The AD9851 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 digitally-  
programmable frequency synthesizer and clock generator func-  
tion. When referenced to an accurate clock source, the AD9851  
generates a stable frequency and phase-programmable digitized  
analog output sine wave. This sine wave can be used directly as  
a frequency source, or internally converted to a square wave for  
agile-clock generator applications. The AD9851’s innovative  
high speed DDS core accepts a 32-bit frequency tuning word,  
which results in an output tuning resolution of approximately  
0.04 Hz with a 180 MHz system clock. The AD9851 contains a  
unique 6× REFCLK Multiplier circuit that eliminates the need  
for a high speed reference oscillator. The 6× REFCLK Multiplier  
has minimal impact on SFDR and phase noise characteristics.  
The AD9851 provides five bits of programmable phase modula-  
tion resolution to enable phase shifting of its output in incre-  
ments of 11.25°.  
The frequency tuning, control and phase modulation words are  
asynchronously loaded into the AD9851 via parallel or serial  
loading format. The parallel load format consists of five itera-  
tive loads of an 8-bit control word (byte). The first 8-bit byte  
controls output phase, 6× REFCLK Multiplier, power-down  
enable and loading format; the remaining bytes comprise the  
32-bit frequency tuning word. Serial loading is accomplished  
via a 40-bit serial data stream entering through one of the parallel  
input bus lines. The AD9851 uses advanced CMOS technology  
to provide this breakthrough level of functionality on just 555 mW  
of power dissipation (+5 V supply), at the maximum clock rate of  
180 MHz.  
The AD9851 is available in a space-saving 28-lead SSOP, sur-  
face mount package that is pin-for-pin compatible with the  
popular AD9850 125 MHz DDS. It is specified to operate over  
the extended industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C at  
>3.0 V supply voltage. Below 3.0 V, the specifications apply  
over the commercial temperature range of 0°C to +85°C.

NOTES  
1+VS collectively refers to the positive voltages applied to DVDD, PVCC and AVDD. Voltages applied to these pins should be of the same potential.  
2Indicates the minimum signal levels required to reliably clock the device at the indicated supply voltages. This specifies the p-p signal level and dc offset needed when  
the clocking signal is not of CMOS/TTL origin, i.e., a sine wave with 0 V dc offset.  
3The comparator’s jitter contribution to any input signal. This is the minimum jitter on the outputs that can be expected from an ideal input. Considerably more  
output jitter is seen when nonideal input signals are presented to the comparator inputs. Nonideal characteristics include the presence of extraneous, nonharmonic  
signals (spur’s, noise), slower slew rate and low comparator overdrive.  
4Timing of input signals FQ_UD, WCLK, RESET are asynchronous to the Reference Clock; however, the presence of a Reference Clock is required to implement  
those functions. In the absence of a Reference Clock, the AD9851 automatically enters power-down mode rendering the IC, including the comparator, inoperable  
until a Reference Clock is restored. Very high speed updates of frequency/phase word will require FQ_UD and WCLK to be externally synchronized with the exter-  
nal Reference Clock to assure proper timing.  
5Not applicable when 6× REFCLK Multiplier is engaged.  
6Assumes no capacitive load on DACBP (Pin 17).

CAUTION  
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily  
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection.  
Although the AD9851 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may  
occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD  
precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

Both IOUT and IOUTB are equally loaded with 100 . Two  
100 kresistors “sample” each output and average the two  
voltages. The result is filtered with the 470 pF capacitor and  
applied to one comparator input as a dc switching threshold.  
The filtered DAC sine wave output is applied to the other com-  
parator input. The comparator will toggle with nearly 50% duty  
cycle as the sine wave alternately traverses the “center point”  
threshold.

allow independent programming of each AD9851 40-bit input

algorithm uses a much-reduced ROM look-up table and DSP to  
perform this function. This contributes to the small size and  
low power dissipation of the AD9851.  
The AD9851 uses direct digital synthesis (DDS) technology, in  
the form of a numerically-controlled oscillator (NCO), to gen-  
erate a frequency/phase-agile sine wave. The digital sine wave is  
converted to analog form via an internal 10-bit high speed D/A  
converter. An on-board high-speed comparator is provided to  
translate the analog sine wave into a low-jitter TTL/CMOS-  
compatible output square wave. DDS technology is an innova-  
tive circuit architecture that allows fast and precise manipulation  
of its output word, under full digital control. DDS also enables  
very high resolution in the incremental selection of output fre-  
quency. The AD9851 allows an output frequency resolution of  
approximately 0.04 Hz at 180 MSPS clock rate with the option of  
directly using the reference clock or by engaging the 6× REFCLK  
Multiplier. The AD9851’s output waveform is phase-continu-  
ous from one output frequency change to another.  
The relationship between the output frequency, system clock  
and tuning word of the AD9851 is determined by the expression:  
f
OUT = (Phase × System Clock)/232  
where:  
Phase = decimal value of 32-bit frequency tuning word.  
System Clock = direct input reference clock (in MHz) or 6× the  
input clock (in MHz) if the 6× REFCLK Multiplier is engaged.  
f
OUT = frequency of the output signal in MHz.  
The digital sine wave output of the DDS core drives the internal  
high-speed 10-bit D/A converter that will construct the sine  
wave in analog form. This DAC has been optimized for dynamic  
performance and low glitch energy, which results in the low  
spurious and jitter performance of the AD9851. The DAC can  
be operated in either the single-ended, Figures 2 and 8, or dif-  
ferential output configuration, Figures 9 and 10. DAC output  
current and RSET values are determined using the following  
expressions:  
The basic functional block diagram and signal flow of the  
AD9851 configured as a clock generator is shown in Figure 11.  
The DDS circuitry is basically a digital frequency divider func-  
tion whose incremental resolution is determined by the frequency  
of the system clock, and N (number of bits in the tuning word).  
The phase accumulator is a variable-modulus counter that  
increments the number stored in it each time it receives a clock  
pulse. When the counter reaches full scale it “wraps around,”  
making the phase accumulator’s output phase-continuous. The  
frequency tuning word sets the modulus of the counter, which  
effectively determines the size of the increment (Phase) that  
will be added to the value in the phase accumulator on the next  
clock pulse. The larger the added increment, the faster the  
accumulator wraps around, which results in a higher output  
frequency.

OUT = 39.93/RSET

Since the output of the AD9851 is a sampled signal, its output  
spectrum follows the Nyquist sampling theorem. Specifically, its  
output spectrum contains the fundamental plus aliased signals  
(images) that occur at integer multiples of the system clock  
frequency ± the selected output frequency. A graphical repre-  
sentation of the sampled spectrum, with aliased images, is shown in  
Figure 12. Normal usable bandwidth is considered to extend  
from dc to 1/2 the system clock.  
The AD9851 uses an innovative and proprietary “Angle  
Rotation” algorithm that mathematically converts the 14-bit  
truncated value of the 32-bit phase accumulator to the 10-bit  
quantized amplitude that is passed to the DAC. This unique  
In the example shown in Figure 12, the system clock is 100 MHz  
and the output frequency is set to 20 MHz. As can be seen, 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 D/A  
converter output. In fact, depending on the f/system clock rela-  
tionship, the 1st aliased image can equal the fundamental  
amplitude (when fOUT = 1/2 system clock). A low-pass filter is  
generally placed between the output of the D/A converter and  
the input of the comparator to suppress the jitter-producing  
effects of non-harmonically related aliased images and other  
spurious signals. Consideration must be given to the relationship  
of the selected output frequency, the system clock frequency and  
alias frequencies to avoid unwanted output anomalies.  
increase is due to the inherent 6× (15.5 dB) phase gain transfer  
function of the 6× REFCLK Multiplier, as well as noise gener-  
ated internally by the clock multiplier circuit. By using a low  
phase noise reference clock input to the AD9851, users can be  
assured of better than –100 dBc/Hz phase noise performance  
for output frequencies up to 50 MHz at offsets from 1 kHz to  
100 kHz.  
Programming the AD9851  
The AD9851 contains a 40-bit register that stores the 32-bit  
frequency control word, the 5-bit phase modulation word,  
6× REFCLK Multiplier enable and the power-down function.  
This register can be loaded in parallel or serial mode. A logic  
high engages functions; for example, to power-down the IC  
(sleep mode), a logic high must be programmed in that bit  
location. Those users who are familiar with the AD9850 DDS  
will find only a slight change in programming the AD9851,  
specifically, data[0] of W0 (parallel load) and W32 (serial load)  
now contains a “6× REFCLK Multiplier Enable” bit that needs  
to be set high to enable or low to disable the internal reference  
clock multiplier.  
Images need not be thought of as useless by-products of a DAC.  
In fact, with bandpass filtering around an image and some  
amount of post-filter amplification, the image can become the  
primary output signal (see Figure 8). Since images are not har-  
monics, they retain a 1:1 frequency relationship to the funda-  
mental output. That is, if the fundamental is shifted 1 kHz, then  
the image is also shifted 1 kHz. This relationship accounts for  
the frequency stability of an image, which is identical to that of  
the fundamental. Users should recognize that the lower image of  
an image pair surrounding an integer multiple of the system clock  
will move in a direction opposite the fundamental. Images of an  
image pair located above an integer multiple of the system clock  
will move in the same direction as a fundamental movement.  
Note: setting “data[1]” high in programming word W0 (paral-  
lel mode) or word W33 high in serial mode is not allowed (see  
Tables I and III). This bit controls a “factory test mode” that  
will cause abnormal operation in the AD9851 if set high. If  
erroneously entered (as evidenced by Pin 2 changing from an  
input pin to an output signal), an exit is provided by asserting  
RESET. Unintentional entry to the factory test mode can  
occur if an FQ_UD pulse is sent after initial power-up and  
RESET of the AD9851. Since RESET does not clear the 40-  
bit input register, this will transfer the random power-up values  
of the input register to the DDS core. The random values may  
invoke the factory test mode or power-down mode. Never issue  
an FQ_UD command if the 40-bit input register contents are  
unknown.  
The frequency band where images exist is much richer in spuri-  
ous signals and therefore, more hostile in terms of SFDR. Users  
of this technique should empirically determine what frequencies  
are usable if their SFDR requirements are demanding.  
A good “rule-of-thumb” for applying the AD9851 as a clock  
generator is to limit the fundamental output frequency to 40% of  
Reference Clock frequency to avoid generating aliased signals  
that are too close to the output band of interest (generally dc—  
highest selected output frequency) to be filtered. This practice  
will ease the complexity and cost of the external filter require-  
ment for the clock generator application.  
In the default parallel load mode, the 40-bit input register is  
loaded using an 8-bit bus. W_CLK is used to load the register  
in five iterations of eight bytes. The rising edge of FQ_UD  
transfers the contents of the register into the device to be acted  
upon and resets the word address pointer to W0. Subsequent  
W_CLK rising edges load 8-bit data, starting at W0 and then  
move the word pointer to the next word. After W0 through W4  
are loaded, additional W_CLK edges are ignored until either a  
RESET is asserted or an FQ_UD rising edge resets the address  
pointer to W0 in preparation for the next 8-bit load. See Fig-  
ure 13.  
The reference clock input of the AD9851 has minimum limita-  
tion of 1 MHz without 6× REFCLK Multiplier engaged and  
5 MHz with multiplier engaged. The device has internal cir-  
cuitry that senses when the clock rate has dropped below the  
minimum and automatically places itself in the power-down  
mode. In this mode, the on-chip comparator is also disabled.  
This is important information for those who may wish to use the  
on-chip comparator for purposes other than squaring the DDS  
sine wave output. When the clock frequency returns above the  
minimum threshold, the device resumes normal operation after  
5 µs (typically). This shutdown mode prevents excessive current  
leakage in the dynamic registers of the device.  
In serial load mode, forty subsequent rising edges of W_CLK  
will shift and load the 1-bit data on Pin 25 (D7) through the  
40-bit register in “shift-register” fashion. Any further W_CLK  
rising edges after the register is full will shift data out causing  
data that is left in the register to be out-of-sequence and cor-  
rupted. The serial mode must be entered from the default  
parallel mode, see Figure 17. Data is loaded beginning with  
W0 and ending with W39. One note of caution: the 8-bit  
parallel word (W0)—xxxxx011—that invokes the serial mode  
should be overwritten with a valid 40-bit serial word immedi-  
ately after entering the serial mode to prevent unintended  
engaging of the 6× REFCLK Multiplier or entry into the fac-  
tory test mode. Exit from serial mode to parallel mode is only  
possible using the RESET command.  
The impact of reference clock phase noise in DDS systems is  
actually reduced, since the DDS output is the result of a division  
of the input frequency. The amount of apparent phase noise  
reduction, expressed in dB, is found using: 20 log fOUT/fCLK  
.
Where fOUT is the fundamental DDS output frequency and fCLK  
is the system clock frequency. From this standpoint, using the  
highest system clock input frequency makes good sense in reduc-  
ing the effects of reference clock phase noise contribution to the  
output signals’ overall phase noise. As an example, an oscilla-  
tor with –100 dBc phase noise operating at 180 MHz would  
appear as a –125 dB contribution to DDS overall phase noise for  
a 10 MHz output. Engaging the 6× REFCLK Multiplier has  
generally been found to increase overall output phase noise. This

The function assignments of the data and control words are

updating the output frequency and/or phase, resetting the de-  
vice, engaging the 6× REFCLK Multiplier, and powering up/  
down, are shown in the timing diagrams of Figures 13–20. As a  
programming example for the following DDS characteristics:  
In parallel mode, user would program the 40-bit control word  
(composed of five 8-bit loads) as follows:  
W0 = 00001001  
W1 = 00001110  
W2 = 00111000  
W3 = 11100011  
W4 = 10001110

2. 6× REFCLK Multiplier engaged.  
3. Powered-up mode selected.

of W4 in the above “array,” loading from right to left, and end-  
ing with the MSB of W0.

PCB LAYOUT INFORMATION  
single-ended, 70 MHz low pass, 7th order, elliptic filter. To  
minimize output jitter of the comparator, special attention has  
been given to the low pass filter design. Primary considerations  
were input and output impedances (200 ) and a very steep  
roll-off characteristic to attenuate unwanted, nearby alias sig-  
nals. The high impedance of the filter allows the DAC to de-  
velop 1 V p-p (with 10 mA) across the two 200 resistors at  
the input and output of the filter. This voltage is entirely suffi-  
cient to optimally drive the AD9851 comparator. This filter was  
designed with the assumption that the AD9851 DDS is at full  
clock speed (180 MHz). If this is not the case, filter specifica-  
tions may need to change to achieve proper attenuation of  
anticipated alias signals. BNC connectors allow convenient  
observation of the comparator CMOS output and input, as well  
as that of the DAC. No reference oscillator is provided for  
reasons stated above. This model allows easy evaluation of the  
AD9851 as a frequency and phase-agile CMOS output clock  
source (see Figure 24 for electrical schematic).  
The AD9851/CGPCB and AD9851/FSPCB evaluation boards  
(Figures 22–25) represent typical implementations of the AD9851  
and exemplify the use of high frequency/high resolution design  
and layout practices. The printed circuit board that contains the  
AD9851 should be a multilayer board that allows dedicated  
power and ground planes. The power and ground planes should  
(as much as possible) be free of etched traces that cause dis-  
continuities in the planes. It is recommended that the top layer  
of the board also contain an interspatial ground plane that makes  
ground available without vias for the surface-mount devices. If  
separate analog and digital system ground planes exist, they  
should be connected together at the AD9851 evaluation board  
for optimum performance.  
Avoid running digital lines under the device as these will couple  
unnecessary noise onto the die. The power supply lines to the  
AD9851 should use as large a trace as possible to provide a low-  
impedance path and reduce the effects of switching currents on  
the power supply line. Fast switching signals like clocks should  
use microstrip, controlled impedance techniques where possible.  
Avoid crossover of digital and analog signal paths. Traces on  
opposite sides of the board should run at right angles to each  
other. This will reduce crosstalk between the lines.  
Jitter Reduction Note  
The AD9851/CGPCB has a wideband DDS fundamental out-  
put, dc to 70 MHz, and the on-chip comparator has even more  
bandwidth. To optimize low jitter performance users should  
consider bandpass filtering of the DAC output if only a narrow  
bandwidth is required. This will reduce jitter caused by spuri-  
ous, nonharmonic signals above and below the desired signal.  
Lowering the applied VDD helps in reducing comparator switch-  
ing noise by reducing V/T of the comparator outputs. For  
optimum jitter performance, users should avoid the very busy  
digital environment of the on-chip comparator and opt for an  
external, high speed comparator.  
Good power supply decoupling is also an important consider-  
ation. The analog (AVDD) and digital (DVDD) supplies to the  
AD9851 are independent and separately pinned-out to mini-  
mize coupling between analog and digital sections of the device.  
All analog and digital supply pins should be decoupled to AGND  
and DGND respectively, with high quality ceramic chip capaci-  
tors. To achieve best performance from the decoupling capaci-  
tors, they should be placed as close as possible to the device. In  
systems where a common supply is used to drive both the AVDD  
and DVDD supplies of the AD9851, it is recommended that the  
system’s AVDD supply be used.  
Both versions of the AD9851 evaluation boards are designed to  
interface to the parallel printer port of a PC. The operating  
software (C++) runs under Microsoft Windows® (3.1 and  
Windows 95, NT is NOT supported) and provides a user-  
friendly and intuitive format for controlling the functionality  
and observing the performance of the device. The 3.5" disk  
provided with the evaluation board contains an executable file  
that displays the AD9851 function-selection screen. The  
evaluation board may be operated with +3.0 V or +5 V sup-  
plies. Evaluation boards are configured at the factory for an  
external clock input. If the optional on-board crystal clock  
source is installed, resistor R2 (50 ) must be removed.  
Analog Devices applications engineering support is available to  
answer additional questions on grounding and PCB layout. Call  
1-800-ANALOGD.  
EVALUATION BOARDS  
Two versions of the AD9851 evaluation board are available.  
The evaluation boards facilitate easy implementation of the  
device for bench-top analysis and serve as a reference for PCB  
layout.

Required Hardware/Software  
Personal computer operating in Windows 3.1or “95” environ-  
ment (does not support Windows NT).  
The AD9851/FSPCB is intended for applications where the  
device will primarily be used as a frequency synthesizer. This  
version is optimized for connection of the AD9851 internal D/A  
converter output to a 50 spectrum analyzer input. The inter-  
nal comparator of the AD9851 is made available for use via wire  
hole access. The comparator inputs are externally pulled to  
opposing voltages to prevent comparator chatter due to floating  
inputs. The DDS DAC output is unfiltered and no reference  
oscillator is provided. This is done in recognition of the fact that  
many users may find their presence to be a liability rather than  
an asset. See Figure 22 for electrical schematic.

Setup  
The AD9851/CGPCB is intended for applications using the  
device as a CMOS output clock generator. It connects the  
AD9851 DAC output to the internal comparator input via a  
Copy the contents of the AD9851 disk onto the host PCs hard  
drive (there are two files, WIN9851.EXE version 1.x and  
Bwcc.dll). Connect the printer cable from computer to the  
evaluation board. Use a good quality cable as some cables do  
not connect every wire that the printer port supports.

Other operational modes (Frequency Sweeping, Sleep, Serial  
Input) are available. Frequency sweeping allows the user to  
enter a start and stop frequency and to specify the frequency  
“step” size. Sweeping begins at the start frequency, proceeds to  
the stop frequency in a linear manner, reverses direction and  
sweeps back to the start frequency repeatedly.  
Apply power to AD9851 Evaluation Board. The AD9851 is  
powered separately from the other active components on the  
board via connector marked “DUT +V.” The connector marked  
“+5 V” is used to power the CMOS latches, optional crystal  
oscillator and pull-up resistors. Both +5 V and DUT +V may  
be tied together for ease of operation without adverse affects.  
The AD9851 may be powered with +2.7 V to +5.25 V.  
Note: for those who may be operating multiple AD9851 evalua-  
tion boards from one computer, a MANUAL FREQUENCY  
UPDATE option exists. By eliminating the automatic issuance  
of an FQ_UD, the user can load the 40-bit input registers of  
multiple AD9851s without transferring that data to the internal  
accumulators. When all input registers are loaded, a single  
FREQUENCY UPDATE pulse can be issued to all AD9851s.  
A block diagram of this technique is shown in the AD9851 data  
sheet as a “Quadrature Oscillator” application. This single pulse  
synchronizes all the units so that their particular phases and  
frequencies take effect simultaneously. Proper synchronization  
requires that each AD9851 be clocked by the same reference  
clock source and that each oscillator be in an identical state  
while being programmed. RESET command assures identical  
states. When manual frequency update is selected, a new box  
labeled “FREQUENCY UPDATE” will appear just above the  
frequency sweeping menu. Clicking the box initiates a single  
FQ_UD pulse.  
Connect an external 50 Z clock source or remove R2 and  
install a suitable crystal clock oscillator with CMOS output  
levels at Y1. A sine wave signal generator may be used as a  
clock source at frequencies >50 MHz by dc offsetting the output  
signal to 1/2 the supply voltage to the AD9851. This method  
requires a minimum of 2 V p-p signal and that the 6× REFCLK  
Multiplier function be disabled.  
Locate the file called WIN9851.EXE and execute that program.  
The computer monitor should show a “control panel” which  
allows operation of the AD9851 Evaluation Board by use of a  
“mouse.”  
Operation  
On the control panel locate the box labeled “COMPUTER I/O.”  
Click the correct parallel printer port for the host computer and  
then click the TEST box. A message will appear indicating if  
the selection of output port is correct. Choose other ports as  
necessary to achieve a correct port setting.  
Note: RESET can be used to synchronize multiple oscillators.  
If several oscillators have already been programmed at various  
phases or frequencies, issuance of a RESET pulse will set their  
outputs to 0 Hz and 0 phase. By issuing a common FQ_UD,  
the previously programmed information in the 40-bit input  
registers will transfer once again to the DDS core and take effect  
in 18 clock cycles. This is due to the fact that RESET does not  
affect the contents of the 40-bit input register in any way.  
Click the MASTER RESET button. This will reset the part to  
0 Hz, 0 degrees phase, parallel programming mode. The output  
from the DAC IOUT should be a dc voltage equal to the full-  
scale output of the AD9851 (1 volt for the AD9851/CGPCB  
and 0.5 volts for the AD9851/FSPCB) while the DAC IOUTB  
should be 0 volts for both evaluation boards. RESET should  
always be the first command to the AD9851 following power-up.  
Locate the CLOCK SECTION and place the cursor in the  
FREQUENCY box. Enter the clock frequency (in MHz) that  
will be applied to the reference clock input of the AD9851.  
Click the PLL box in the CONTROL FUNCTION menu if the  
6× Reference Clock multiplier is to be engaged . . . a check mark  
will appear when engaged. When the Reference Clock multi-  
plier is engaged, software will multiply the value entered in the  
frequency box by six; otherwise, the value entered is the value  
used. Click the LOAD button or press the enter key.  
The AD9851/FSPCB provides access into and out of the on-  
chip comparator via test point pairs (each pair has an active  
input and a ground connection). The two active inputs are  
labeled TP1 and TP2. The unmarked hole next to each labeled  
test point is a ground connection. The two active outputs are  
labeled TP5 and TP6. Adjacent those test points are unmarked  
ground connections. To prevent unwanted comparator chatter  
when not in use, the two inputs are pulled either to ground or  
+V via 1 kresistors.  
Move the cursor to the OUTPUT FREQUENCY box and type  
in the desired frequency (in MHz). Click the LOAD button or  
press the enter key. The BUS MONITOR section of the control  
panel will show the 32-bit frequency word and 8-bit phase/  
control word. Upon completion of this step, the AD9851 output  
should be active at the programmed frequency/phase.  
The AD9851/CGPCB provides BNC inputs and outputs  
associated with the on-chip comparator and an onboard, 7th  
order, 200 input /output Z, elliptic 70 MHz low pass filter.  
Jumpering (soldering a wire) E1 to E2, E3 to E4 and E5 to E6  
connects the onboard filter and the midpoint switching voltage  
to the comparator. Users may elect to insert their own filter and  
comparator threshold voltage by removing the jumpers and  
inserting a filter between J7 and J6 and providing a comparator  
threshold voltage at E1.  
Changing the output phase is accomplished by clicking the  
“down arrow” in the OUTPUT PHASE DELAY box to make a  
selection and then clicking the LOAD button. Note: clicking  
the load buttons of either the clock frequency box, the output  
frequency box or the phase box will automatically initiate a re-  
loading of all three boxes and issuance of a FQ_UD (frequency  
update) pulse. To bypass this automatic reloading and fre-  
quency update sequence, refer to the note below.  
Use of the XTAL oscillator socket on the evaluation board to  
supply the clock to the AD9851 requires the removal R2 (a 50 Ω  
chip resistor) unless the oscillator can drive a 50 load. The  
crystal oscillator should be either TTL or CMOS (preferably)  
compatible.
