GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
or to an internal low distortion current amplifier. The current  
amplifier (IAMP) can be configured as a current- or voltage-  
mode line driver (with two external npn transistors) capable of  
delivering in excess of 23 dBm peak signal power. Tx power can  
be digitally controlled over a 19.5 dB range in 0.5 dB steps.  
The AD9865 is a mixed-signal front end (MxFE) IC for  
transceiver applications requiring Tx and Rx path functionality  
with data rates up to 80 MSPS. Its flexible digital interface,  
power saving modes, and high Tx-to-Rx isolation make it well  
suited for half- and full-duplex applications. The digital inter-  
face is extremely flexible allowing simple interfaces to digital  
back ends that support half- or full-duplex data transfers, thus  
often allowing the AD9865 to replace discrete ADC and DAC  
solutions. Power saving modes include the ability to reduce  
power consumption of individual functional blocks, or to power  
down unused blocks in half-duplex applications. A serial port  
interface (SPI®) allows software programming of the various  
functional blocks. An on-chip PLL clock multiplier and  
synthesizer provide all the required internal clocks, as well as  
two external clocks from a single crystal or clock source.  
The receive path consists of a programmable amplifier  
(RxPGA), a tunable low-pass filter (LPF), and a 10-bit ADC.  
The low noise RxPGA has a programmable gain range of  
−12 dB to +48 dB in 1 dB steps. Its input referred noise is less  
than 3 nV/rtHz for gain settings beyond 36 dB. The receive path  
LPF cutoff frequency can be set over a 15 MHz to 35 MHz  
range or simply bypassed. The 10-bit ADC achieves excellent  
dynamic performance over a 5 MSPS to 80 MSPS span. Both  
the RxPGA and the ADC offer scalable power consumption  
allowing power/performance optimization.  
The Tx signal path consists of a bypassable 2×/4× low-pass  
interpolation filter, a 10-bit TxDAC, and a line driver. The  
transmit path signal bandwidth can be as high as 34 MHz at an  
input data rate of 80 MSPS. The TxDAC provides differential  
current outputs that can be steered directly to an external load  
The AD9865 provides a highly integrated solution for many  
broadband modems. It is available in a space saving 64-pin chip  
scale package and is specified over the commercial (−40°C to  
+85°C) temperature range.

1 Gain error and gain temperature coefficients are based on the ADC only (with a fixed 1.23 V external reference and a 1 V p-p differential analog input).  
2 TxDAC IOUTFS = 20 mA, differential output with 1:1 transformer with source and load termination of 50 Ω, FOUT = 5 MHz, 4x interpolation.  
3 IOUN full-scale current = 80 mA, fOSCIN = 80 MHz, fDAC =160 MHz, 2x interpolation.  
4 Use external amplifier to drive additional load.  
5 Internal VCO operates at 200 MHz , set to divide-by-1.  
6 Because CLKOUT2 is a divided down version of OSCIN, its jitter is typically equal to OSCIN.  
7 CLKOUT2 is an inverted replica of OSCIN, if set to divide-by-1.

ESD 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 this product 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.

Description  
The AD9865 contains a set of programmable registers described  
in Table 10 that are used to optimize its numerous features,  
interface options, and performance parameters from its default  
register settings. Registers pertaining to similar functions have  
been grouped together and assigned adjacent addresses to  
minimize the update time when using the multibyte serial port  
interface (SPI) read/write feature. Bits that are undefined within  
a register should be assigned a 0 when writing to that register.

Enable 4-wire SPI  
Enable SPI LSB first  
A 4-wire SPI can be enabled by setting the 4-wire SPI bit high,  
causing the output data to appear on the SDO pin instead of on  
the SDIO pin. The SDIO pin serves as an input-only throughout  
the read operation. Note that the SDO pin is active only during  
the transmission of data and remains three-stated at any other  
time.  
The default register settings were intended to allow some  
applications to operate without the use of an SPI. The AD9865  
can be configured to support a half- or full-duplex digital  
interface via the MODE pin, with each interface having two  
possible default register settings determined by the setting of  
the CONFIG pin.  
An 8-bit instruction header must accompany each read and  
write operation. The instruction header is shown in Table 12.  
The MSB is an R/ indicator bit with logic high indicating a  
W
read operation. The next two bits, N1 and N0, specify the  
number of bytes (one to four bytes) to be transferred during the  
data transfer cycle. The remaining five bits specify the address  
bits to be accessed during the data transfer portion. The data  
bits immediately follow the instruction header for both read  
and write operations.  
For instance, applications that need to use only the Tx or Rx  
path functionality of the AD9865 can configure it for a half-  
duplex interface (MODE = 0), and use the TXEN pin to select  
between the Tx or Rx signal path with the unused path  
remaining in a reduced power state. The CONFIG pin can be  
used to select the default interpolation ratio of the Tx path and  
RxPGA gain mapping.

SERIAL PORT INTERFACE (SPI)  
The serial port of the AD9865 has 3- or 4-wire SPI capability  
allowing read/write access to all registers that configure the  
device’s internal parameters. Registers pertaining to the SPI are  
listed in Table 11. The default 3-wire serial communication port  
The AD9865 serial port can support both MSB (most  
significant bit) first and LSB (least significant bit) first data  
formats. Figure 45 illustrates how the serial port words are built  
for the MSB first and LSB first modes. The bit order is con-  
trolled by the SPI LSB first bit (Register 0, Bit 6). The default  
value is 0, MSB first. Multibyte data transfers in MSB format  
can be completed by writing an instruction byte that includes  
the register address of the last address to be accessed. The  
AD9865 automatically decrements the address for each succes-  
sive byte required for the multibyte communication cycle.

After the address bits of the instruction header are read, the  
eight data bits pertaining to the specified register are shifted out  
of the SDIO pin on the falling edges of the next eight clock cycles.  
If a multibyte communication cycle is specified in the instruction  
header, a similar process as previously described for a multibyte  
SPI write operation applies. The SDO pin remains three-stated  
in a 3-wire read operation.

each successive byte required for the multibyte communication

Figure 47. SPI 3-Wire Read Operation Timing  
Figure 48 illustrates the timing for a 4-wire read operation to  
the SPI port. The timing is similar to the 3-wire read operation  
with the exception that data appears at the SDO pin, while the  
SDIO pin remains high impedance throughout the operation.  
The SDO pin is an active output only during the data transfer  
phase and remains three-stated at all other times.  
Figure 46 illustrates the timing requirements for a write opera-  
tion to the SPI port. After the serial port enable (  
) signal  
SEN  
goes low, data (SDIO) pertaining to the instruction header is  
read on the rising edges of the clock (SCLK). To initiate a write  
operation, the read/not-write bit is set low. After the instruction  
header is read, the eight data bits pertaining to the specified  
register are shifted into the SDIO pin on the rising edge of the  
next eight clock cycles. If a multibyte communication cycle is  
specified, the destination address is decremented (MSB first)  
and shifts in another eight bits of data. This process repeats until

DIGITAL INTERFACE  
appears on the bus after a 6-clock-cycle delay due to the internal  
FIFO delay. Note that Rx data is not latched back into the Tx  
path, if TXEN is high during this interval with TXCLK present.  
The ADIO bus becomes three-stated once the RXEN pin returns  
low. Figure 50 shows the receive path output timing.  
The digital interface port is configurable for half-duplex or full-  
duplex operation by pin-strapping the MODE pin low or high,  
respectively. In half-duplex mode, the digital interface port  
becomes a 10-bit bidirectional bus called the ADIO port. In  
full-duplex mode, the digital interface port is divided into two  
6-bit ports called Tx[5:0] and Rx[5:0] for simultaneous Tx and  
Rx operations. In this mode, data is transferred between the  
ASIC and AD9865 in 6-bit (or 5-bit) nibbles. The AD9865 also  
features a flexible digital interface for updating the RxPGA and  
TxPGA gain registers via a 6-bit PGA port or Tx[5:0] port for  
fast updates, or via the SPI port for slower updates. See the  
RxPGA Control section for more information.

Figure 50. Receive Data Output Timing Diagram  
To add flexibility to the digital interface port, several program-  
ming options are available in the SPI registers. These options  
are listed in Table 13. The default Tx and Rx data input formats  
are straight binary, but can be changed to twos complement.  
The default TXEN and RXEN settings are active high, but can  
be set to opposite polarities, thus allowing them to share the  
same control. In this case, the ADIO port can still be placed  
onto a shared bus by disabling its input latch via the control  
signal, and disabling the output driver via the SPI register. The  
clock timing can be independently changed on the transmit and  
receive paths by selecting either the rising or falling clock edge  
as the validating/sampling edge of the clock. Lastly, the output  
drivers strength can be reduced for lower data rate applications.  
HALF-DUPLEX MODE  
The half-duplex mode functions as follows when the MODE  
pin is tied low. The bidirectional ADIO port is typically shared  
in burst fashion between the transmit path and receive path.  
Two control signals, TXEN and RXEN, from a DSP (or digital  
ASIC) control the bus direction by enabling the ADIO ports  
input latch and output driver, respectively. Two clock signals are  
also used: TXCLK to latch the Tx input data, and RXCLK to  
clock the Rx output data. The ADIO port can also be disabled  
by setting TXEN and RXEN low (default setting), thus allowing  
it to be connected to a shared bus.  
Internally, the ADIO port consists of an input latch for the Tx  
path in parallel with an output latch with three-state outputs for  
the Rx path. TXEN is used to enable the input latch% RXEN is  
used to three-state the output latch. A five-sample-deep FIFO is  
used on the Tx and Rx paths to absorb any phase difference be-  
tween the AD9865s internal clocks and the externally supplied  
clocks (TXCLK, RXCLK). The ADIO bus accepts input data-  
words into the transmit path when the TXEN pin is high, the  
RXEN pin is low, and a clock is present on the TXCLK pin, as  
shown in Figure 49.

The half-duplex interface can be configured to act as a slave or a  
master to the digital ASIC. An example of a slave configuration  
is shown in Figure 51. In this example, the AD9865 accepts all  
the clock and control signals from the digital ASIC. Because the  
sampling clocks for the DAC and ADC are derived internally  
from the OSCIN signal, the TXCLK and RXCLK signals must  
be at exactly the same frequency as the OSCIN signal. The  
phase relationships among the TXCLK, RXCLK, and OSCIN  
signals can be arbitrary. If the digital ASIC cannot provide a low  
jitter clock source to OSCIN, use the AD9865 to generate the  
clock for its DAC and ADC, and to pass the desired clock signal  
to the digital ASIC via CLKOUT1 or CLKOUT2.

The output from the receive path is driven onto the ADIO bus  
when the RXEN pin is high, and a clock is present on the RXCLK

The AD9865 acts as the master, providing RXCLK as an output  
clock that is used for the timing of both the Tx[5:0] and Rx[5:0]  
ports. RXCLK always runs at the nibble rate and can be inverted  
or disabled via an SPI register. Because RXCLK is derived from  
the clock synthesizer, it remains active, provided that this func-  
tional block remains powered on. A buffered version of the  
signal appearing at OSCIN can also be directed to RXCLK by  
setting Bit 2 of Register 0x05. This feature allows the AD9865 to  
be completely powered down (including the clock synthesizer)  
while serving as the master.

The Tx[5:0] port operates in the following manner with the SPI  
register default settings. Two consecutive nibbles of the Tx data  
are multiplexed together to form a 10-bit data-word in twos  
complement format. The clock appearing on the RXCLK pin is  
a buffered version of the internal clock used by the Tx[5:0]  
ports input latch with a frequency that is always twice the ADC  
sample rate (2 × fADC). Data from the Tx[5:0] port is read on the  
rising edge of this sampling clock, as illustrated in the timing  
Figure 52 shows a half-duplex interface with the AD9865 acting  
as the master, generating all the required clocks. CLKOUT1  
provides a clock equal to the bus data rate that is fed to the  
ASIC as well as back to the TXCLK and RXCLK inputs. This  
interface has the advantage of reducing the digital ASICs pin  
count by three. The ASIC needs only to generate a bus control  
signal that controls the data flow on the bidirectional bus.

The TXSYNC signal is used to indicate to which word a nibble  
belongs. While TXSYNC is low, the first nibble of every word is  
read as the most significant nibble. The second nibble of that  
same word is read on the following TXSYNC high level as the  
least significant nibble. If TXSYNC is low for more than one  
clock cycle, the last transmit data is read continuously until  
TXSYNC is brought high for the second nibble of a new trans-  
mit word. This feature can be used to flush the interpolator  
filters with zeros. Note that the GAIN signal must be kept low  
during a Tx operation.

FULL-DUPLEX MODE  
The full-duplex mode interface is selected when the MODE pin  
is tied high. It can be used for full- or half-duplex applications.  
The digital interface port is divided into two 6-bit ports called  
Tx[5:0] and Rx[5:0], allowing simultaneous Tx and Rx opera-  
tions for full-duplex applications. In half-duplex applications,  
the Tx[5:0] port can also be used to provide a fast update of the  
RxPGA (AD9875 backward-compatible) during an Rx opera-  
tion. This feature is enabled by default and can be used to  
reduce the required pin count of the ASIC (refer to RxPGA  
Control section for details).  
The Rx[5:0] port operates in the following manner with the SPI  
register default settings. Two consecutive nibbles of the Rx data  
are multiplexed together to form a 10-bit data-word in twos  
complement format. The Rx data is valid on the rising edge of  
RXCLK, as illustrated in the timing diagram shown in Figure 54.  
The RXSYNC signal is used to indicate to which word a nibble  
belongs. While RXSYNC is low, the first nibble of every word is  
transmitted as the most significant nibble. The second nibble of  
that same word is transmitted on the following RXSYNC high  
level as the least significant nibble.  
In either application, Tx and Rx data are transferred between  
the ASIC and AD9865 in 6-bit (or 5-bit) nibbles at twice the  
internal input/output word rates of the Tx interpolation filter  
and ADC. Note that the TxDAC update rate must not be less

For the AD9865, the most significant nibble defaults to 6 bits,  
and the least significant nibble defaults to 4 bits. This can be  
changed so that the least significant nibble and most significant  
nibble have 5 bits each. To accomplish this, set the 5/5 nibble bit  
in Register 0x0C and Register 0x0D and use data pins Tx[5:1]  
and Rx[5:1].

Figure 54. Full-Duplex Rx Port Timing  
Figure 55 shows a possible digital interface between an ASIC  
and the AD9865. The AD9865 serves as the master generating  
the required clocks for the ASIC. This interface requires that the  
ASIC reserve 16 pins for the interface, assuming a 6-bit nibble  
width and the use of the Tx port for RxPGA gain control. Note  
that the ASIC pin allocation can be reduced by 3, if a 5-bit  
nibble width is used and the gain (or gain strobe) of the RxPGA  
is controlled via the SPI port.  
To add flexibility to the full-duplex digital interface port, several  
programming options are available in the SPI registers. These  
options are listed in Table 14. The timing for the Tx[5:0] and/or  
Rx[5:0] ports can be independently changed by selecting either  
the rising or falling clock edge as the sampling/validating edge  
of the clock. Inverting RXCLK (via Bit 1 or Register 0x05)  
affects both the Rx and Tx interface, because they both use  
RXCLK.

The default Tx and Rx data input formats are twos complement,  
but can be changed to straight binary. The default TXSYNC and  
RXSYNC settings can be changed such that the first nibble of  
the word appears while TXSYNC, RXSYNC, or both are high.  
Also, the least significant nibble can be selected as the first  
nibble of the word (LS nibble first). The output driver strength  
can also be reduced for lower data rate applications.  
The AD9865 contains a digital PGA in the Rx path that is used  
to extend the dynamic range. The RxPGA can be programmed  
over −12 dB to +48 dB with 1 dB resolution using a 6-bit word,  
and with a 0 dB setting corresponding to a 2 V p-p input signal.  
The 6-bit word is fed into a LUT that is used to distribute the  
desired gain over three amplification stages within the Rx path.  
Upon power-up, the RxPGA gain register is set to its minimum  
gain of −12 dB. The RxPGA gain mapping is shown in Figure 56.  
Table 15 lists the SPI registers pertaining to the RxPGA.

Updating the RxPGA (or TxPGA) via the PGA[5:0] port is an  
option for both the half-duplex3 and full-duplex interface. The  
PGA port consists of an input buffer that passes the 6-bit data  
appearing at its input directly to the RxPGA (or TxPGA) gain  
register with no gating signal required. Bit 5 or Bit 6 of  
Register 0x0B is used to select whether the data updates the  
RxPGA or TxPGA gain register. In applications that switch  
between RxPGA and TxPGA gain control via PGA[5:0], be  
careful that the RxPGA (or TxPGA) is not inadvertently loaded  
with the wrong data during a transition. In the case of an  
RxPGA to TxPGA transition, first deselect the RxPGA gain  
register, update the PGA[5:0] port with the desired TxPGA gain  
setting, and then select the TxPGA gain register.

with PGA[5] being the MSB. This feature is backward-compatible  
with the AD9975 MxFE and allows direct interfacing to the  
CX11647 or INT5130 HomePlug 1.0 PHYs.  
The RxPGA gain register can be updated via the Tx[5:0] port,  
the PGA[5:0] port, or the SPI port. The first two methods allow  
fast updates of the RxPGA gain register and should be

of the RxPGA gain register via Register 0x09 with an update  
rate limited to 1.6 MSPS (with SCLK = 32 MHz). Note that Bit 6  
of Register 0x09 must be set for a read or write operation.

Updating the RxPGA via the Tx[5:0] port is an option only in  
full-duplex mode1. In this case, a high level on the GAIN pin,2  
with TXSYNC low, programs the PGA setting on either the  
rising edge or falling edge of RXCLK, as shown in Figure 57.  
The GAIN pin must be held high, TXSYNC must be held low,  
and GAIN data must be stable for one or more clock cycles to  
update the RxPGA gain setting.  
A low level on the GAIN pin enables data to be fed to the digital  
interpolation filter. This interface should be considered when  
upgrading existing designs from the AD9875/AD9876 MxFE  
products or half-duplex applications trying to minimize an  
ASICs pin count.

The TxPGA register can be updated via the PGA[5:0] port or  
TXPGA CONTROL  
SPI port. The first method should be considered for fast updates  
of the TxPGA register. Its operation is similar to the description  
in the RxPGA Control section. The SPI port allows direct up-  
date and readback of the TxPGA register via Register 0x0A with  
an update rate limited to 1.6 MSPS (SCLK = 32 MHz). Bit 6 of  
Register 0x0A must be set for a read or write operation.  
The AD9865 also contains a digital PGA in the Tx path distri-  
buted between the TxDAC and IAMP. The TxPGA is used to  
control the peak current from the TxDAC and IAMP over a  
7.5 dB and 19.5 dB span, respectively, with 0.5 dB resolution.  
A 6-bit word is used to set the TxPGA attenuation according to  
the mapping shown in Figure 58. The TxDAC gain mapping is  
applicable only when Bit 0 of Register 0x0E is set, and only the  
four LSBs of the 6-bit gain word are relevant.  
Table 17 lists the SPI registers pertaining to the TxPGA. The  
TxPGA control register default setting is for minimum  
attenuation (0 dBFS) with the PGA[5:0] port disabled for Tx  
gain control.

TRANSMIT PATH  
The AD9865 (or AD9866) transmit path consists of a selectable  
digital 2×/4× interpolation filter, a 10-bit or 12-bit TxDAC, and  
a current-output amplifier (IAMP) as shown in Figure 59. Note  
that the additional two bits of resolution offered by the AD9866  
result in a 10 dB to 12 dB reduction in the pass-band noise  
floor. The digital interpolation filter relaxes the Tx analog  
filtering requirements by simultaneously reducing the images  
from the DAC reconstruction process while increasing the  
analog filters transition band. The digital interpolation filter  
can also be bypassed, resulting in lower digital current  
consumption.  
The pipeline delays of the 2× and 4× filter responses are 21.5  
and 24 clock cycles, respectively, relative to fDATA. The filter delay  
is also taken into consideration for applications configured for a  
half-duplex interface with the half-duplex power-down mode  
enabled. This feature allows the user to set a programmable  
delay that powers down the TxDAC and IAMP only after the  
last Tx input sample has propagated through the digital filter.  
See the Power Control and Dissipation section for more details.

The interpolation filter consists of two cascaded half-band filter  
stages with each stage providing 2× interpolation. The first  
stage filter consists of 43 taps. The second stage filter, operating  
at the higher data rate, consists of 11 taps. The normalized  
wideband and pass-band filter responses (relative fDATA) for the  
2× and 4× low-pass interpolation filters are shown in Figure 60  
and Figure 61, respectively. These responses also include the  
inherent sinc(x) from the TxDAC reconstruction process and  
can be used to estimate any post analog filtering requirements.  
TxDAC AND IAMP ARCHITECTURE  
The Tx path contains a TxDAC with a current amplifier, IAMP.  
The TxDAC reconstructs the output of the interpolation filter  
and sources a differential current output that can be directed to  
an external load or fed into the IAMP for further amplification.  
The TxDAC’s and IAMPS’s peak current outputs are digitally  
programmable over a 0 to −7.5 dB and 0 to −19.5 dB range,  
respectively, in 0.5 dB increments. Note that this assumes  
default register settings for Register 0x10 and Register 0x11.

clearing Bit 0 of Register 0x0E. As a result, the IOUTP pins  
Applications demanding the highest spectral performance  
and/or lowest power consumption can use the TxDAC output  
directly. The TxDAC is capable of delivering a peak signal  
power-up to 10 dBm while maintaining respectable linearity  
performance, as shown in Figure 27 through Figure 38. For  
power-sensitive applications requiring the highest Tx power  
efficiency, the TxDACs full-scale current output can be reduced  
to as low as 2 mA, and its load resistors sized to provide a  
suitable voltage swing that can be amplified by a low-power op-  
amp-based driver.  
must remain completely open, if the IAMP is to be used. The  
IAMP contains two sets of current mirrors that are used to  
replicate the TxDAC’s current output with a selectable gain. The  
first set of current mirrors is designated as the primary path,  
providing a gain factor of N that is programmable from 0 to 4 in  
steps of 1 via Bits 2:0 of Register 0x10 with a default setting of  
N = 4. Bit 7 of this register must be set to overwrite the default  
settings of this register. This differential path exhibits the best  
linearity performance (see Figure 42) and is available at the  
IOUTN+ and IOUTN− pins. The maximum peak current per  
output is 100 mA and occurs when the TxDACs standing  
current, I, is set for 12.5 mA (IOUTFS = 25 mA).  
Most applications requiring higher peak signal powers (up to  
23 dBm) should consider using the IAMP. The IAMP can be  
configured as a current source for loads having a well defined  
impedance (50 Ω or 75 Ω systems), or a voltage source (with the  
addition of a pair of npn transistors) for poorly defined loads  
having varying impedance (such as power lines).  
The second set of current mirrors is designated as the secon-  
dary path providing a gain factor of G that is programmable  
from 0 to 36 via Bits 6:4 of Register 0x10 and Bits 6:0 of Register  
0x11 with a default setting of G = 12. This differential path is  
intended to be used in the voltage mode configuration to bias  
the external npn transistors, because it exhibits degraded  
linearity performance (see Figure 43) relative to the primary  
path. It is capable of sinking up to 180 mA of peak current into  
either its IOUTG+ or IOUTG− pins. The secondary path  
actually consists of three gain stages (G1, G2, and G3), which  
are individually programmable as shown in Table 19. While  
many permutations may exist to provide a fixed gain of G, the  
linearity performance of a secondary path remains relatively  
independent of the various individual gain settings that are  
possible to achieve a particular overall gain factor.  
Figure 62 shows the equivalent schematic of the TxDAC and  
IAMP. The TxDAC provides a differential current output  
appearing at IOUTP+ and IOUTP−. It can be modeled as a  
differential current source generating a signal-dependent ac  
current, when ∆IS has a peak current of I along with two dc  
current sources, sourcing a standing current equal to I. The full-  
scale output current, IOUTFS, is equal to the sum of these  
standing current sources (IOUTFS = 2 × I).  
TxDAC  
Both sets of mirrors sink current, because they originate from  
NMOS devices. Therefore, each output pin requires a dc current  
path to a positive supply. Although the voltage output of each  
output pin can swing between 0.5 V and 7 V, optimum ac per-  
formance is typically achieved by limiting the ac voltage swing  
with a dc bias voltage set between 4 to 5 V. Lastly, both the  
standing current, I, and the ac current, ∆IS, from the TxDAC are  
amplified by the gain factor (N and G) with the total standing  
current drawn from the positive supply being equal to

Figure 62. Equivalent Schematic of TxDAC and IAMP  
Programmable current sources IOFF1 and IOFF2 via Register 0x12  
can be used to improve the primary and secondary path  
mirrors’ linearity performance under certain conditions by  
increasing their signal-to-standing current ratio. This feature  
provides a marginal improvement in distortion performance  
under large signal conditions when the peak ac current of the  
reconstructed waveform frequently approaches the dc standing  
current within the TxDAC (0 to −1 dBFS sine wave) causing the  
internal mirrors to turn off. However, the improvement in  
distortion performance diminishes as the crest factor (peak-to-  
rms ratio) of the ac signal increases. Most applications can  
disable these current sources (set to 0 mA via Register 0x12) to  
reduce the IAMPs current consumption.  
The value of I is determined by the RSET value at the REFADJ  
pin along with the Tx path’s digital attenuation setting. With  
0 dB attenuation, the value of I is  
I = 16 × (1.23/RSET  
)
(1)  
For example, an RSET value of 1.96 kΩ results in I equal to  
10.0 mA with IOUTFS equal to 20.0 mA. Note that the REFIO  
pin provides a nominal band gap reference voltage of 1.23 V  
and should be decoupled to analog ground via a 0.1 µF  
capacitor.  
The differential current output of the TxDAC is always con-  
nected to the IOUTP pins, but can be directed to the IAMP by

The TxDAC is capable of delivering up to 10 dBm peak power  
to a load, RL. To increase the peak power for a fixed standing  
current, one must increase V p-p across IOUTP+ and IOUTP−  
by increasing one or more of the following parameters: RS, RL (if  
possible), and/or the turns ratio, N, of transformer. For exam-  
ple, the removal of RS and the use of a 2:1 impedance ratio  
transformer in the previous example results in 10 dBm of peak  
power capabilities to the load. Note that increasing the power  
output capabilities of the TxDAC reduces the distortion per-  
formance due to the higher voltage swings seen at IOUTP+ and  
IOUTP−. See Figure 27 through Figure 38 for performance  
plots on the TxDAC’s ac performance. Optimum distortion  
performance can typically be achieved by:  
(6:4) IOFF2, secondary path standing  
current  
(2:0) IOFF1, primary path standing current  
Tx PROGRAMMABLE GAIN CONTROL  
TxPGA functionality is also available to set the peak output  
current from the TxDAC or IAMP. The TxDAC and IAMP are  
digitally programmable via the PGA[5:0] port or SPI over a 0 dB  
to −7.5 dB and 0 dB to −19.5 dB range, respectively, in 0.5 dB  
increments.  
The TxPGA can be considered as two cascaded attenuators with  
the TxDAC providing 7.5 dB range in 0.5 dB increments, and  
the IAMP providing 12 dB range in 6 dB increments. As a  
result, the IAMPs composite 19.5 dB span is valid only if  
Register 0x10 remains at its default setting of 0x44. Modifying  
this register setting corrupts the LUT and results in an invalid  
gain mapping.  
Limiting the peak positive VIOUTP+ and VIOUTPto 0.8 V to  
avoid onset of TxDAC’s output compression. (TxDAC’s  
voltage compliance is around 1.2 V.)  
Limiting V p-p seen at IOUTP+ and IOUTP− to less  
than 1.6 V.  
Applications demanding higher output voltage swings and  
power drive capabilities can benefit from using the IAMP.  
TxDAC OUTPUT OPERATION  
The differential current output of the TxDAC is available at the  
IOUTP+ and IOUTP− pins and the IAMP should be disabled  
by setting Bit 0 of Register 0x0E. Any load connected to these  
pins must be ground referenced to provide a dc path for the  
current sources. Figure 63 shows the outputs of the TxDAC  
driving a doubly terminated 1:1 transformer with its center-tap  
tied to ground. The peak-to-peak voltage, V p-p, across RL (and  
IOUT+ to IOUT−) is equal to 2 × I × (RL//RS). With I = 10 mA  
and RL = RS = 50 Ω, V p-p is equal to 0.5 V with 1 dBm of peak  
power being delivered to RL and 1 dBm being dissipated in RS.  
IAMP CURRENT-MODE OPERATION  
The IAMP can be configured for the current-mode operation as  
shown in Figure 64 for loads remaining relatively constant. In  
this mode, the primary path mirrors should be used to deliver  
the signal-dependent current to the load via a center-tapped  
transformer, because it provides the best linearity performance.  
Because the mirrors exhibit a high output impedance, they can  
be easily back-terminated (if required).  
For peak signal currents (IOUTPK up to 50 mA), only the  
primary path mirror gain should be used for optimum  
distortion performance and power efficiency. The primary  
path’s gain should be set to 4, with the secondary path’s gain  
stages set to 0 (Register 0x10 = 0x84). The TxDACs standing  
current, I, can be set between 2.5 mA and 12.5 mA with the  
IOUTP outputs left open. The IOUTN outputs should be  
connected to the transformer, with the IOUTG (and IOUTP)  
Rev. A | Page 30 of 48  
 
 
AD9865  
outputs left open for optimum linearity performance. The  
transformer1 should be specified to handle the dc standing  
current, IBIAS, drawn by the IAMP. Also, because IBIAS remains  
signal independent, a series resistor (not shown) can be inserted  
between AVDD and the transformers center-tap to reduce the  
IAMP’s common-mode voltage, VCM, and reduce the power  
dissipation on the IC. The VCM bias should not exceed 5.0 V and  
the power dissipated in the IAMP alone is as follows:  
IAMP VOLTAGE-MODE OPERATION  
The voltage-mode configuration is shown in Figure 65. This  
configuration is suited for applications having a poorly defined  
load that can vary over a considerable range. A low impedance  
voltage driver can be realized with the addition of two external  
RF bipolar npn transistors (Phillips PBR951) and resistors. In  
this configuration, the current mirrors in the primary path  
(IOUTN outputs) feed into scaling resistors, R, generating a  
differential voltage into the bases of the npn transistors. These  
transistors are configured as source followers with the secon-  
dary path current mirrors appearing at IOUTG+ and IOUTG−  
providing a signal-dependent bias current. Note that the  
IOUTP outputs must remain open for proper operation.

A step-down transformer1 with a turn ratio, T, can be used to  
increase the output power, P_OUT, delivered to the load. This  
causes the output load, RL, to be reflected back to the IAMPs  
differential output by T2, resulting in a larger differential voltage  
swing seen at the IAMPs output. For example, the IAMP can  
deliver 24 dBm of peak power to a 50 Ω load, if a 1.41:1 step-  
down transformer is used. This results in 5 V p-p voltage swings  
appearing at IOUTN+ and IOUTN− pins. Figure 42 shows how  
the third order intercept point, OIP3, of the IAMP varies as a  
function of common-mode voltage over a 2.5 MHz to 20.0 MHz  
span with a 2-tone signal having a peak power of approximately  
24 dBm with IOUTPK = 50 mA.  
The peak differential voltage signal developed across the npns  
bases is as follows:  
VOUTPK = R × (N × I)  
where:  
(4)  
N is the gain setting of the primary mirror.  
I is the standing current of the TxDAC defined in Equation 1.  
The common-mode bias voltage seen at IOUTN+ and IOUTN−  
is approximately AVDD − VOUTPK, while the common-mode  
voltage seen at IOUTG+ and IOUTG− is approximately the  
npn’s VBE drop below this level (AVDD − VOUTPK − 0.65). In  
the voltage-mode configuration, the total power dissipated  
within the IAMP is as follows :  
For applications requiring an IOUTPK exceeding 50 mA, set the  
secondarys path to deliver the additional current to the load.  
IOUTG+ and IOUTN+ should be shorted as well as IOUTG−  
and IOUTN−. If IOUTPK represents the peak current to be  
delivered to the load, then the current gain in the secondary  
path, G, can be set by the following equation:  
P
IAMP = 2 × I × {(AVDD VOUTPK) × N  
+ (AVDD VOUTPK − 0.65) × G}  
(5)  
G = IOUTPK/12.5 − 4

The emitters of the npn transistors are ac-coupled to the trans-  
former1 via a 0.1 µF blocking capacitor and series resistor of 1 Ω  
to 2 Ω. Note that protection diodes are not shown for clarity  
purposes, but should be considered if interfacing to a power or  
phone line.  
The linearity performance becomes limited by the secondary  
mirror path’s distortion.  
The amount of standing and signal-dependent current used to  
bias the npn transistors depends on the peak current, IOUTPK,  
required by the load. If the load is variable, determine the worst  
case, IOUTPK, and add 3 mA of margin to ensure that the npn  
transistors remain in the active region during peak load

The voltage output driver exhibits a high output impedance if  
the bias currents for the npn transistors are removed. This  
feature is advantageous in half-duplex applications (for  
example, power lines) in which the Tx output driver must go  
into a high impedance state while in Rx mode. If the AD9865 is  
configured for the half-duplex mode (MODE = 0), the IAMP,  
TxDAC, and interpolation filter are automatically powered  
down after a Tx burst (via TXEN), thus placing the Tx driver  
into a high impedance state while reducing its power  
consumption.

IAMP CURRENT CONSUMPTION CONSIDERATIONS

140  
The Tx path’s analog current consumption is an important  
consideration when determining its contribution to the overall  
on-chip power dissipation. This is especially the case in full-  
duplex applications, where the power dissipation can exceed the  
maximum limit of 1.66 W, if the IAMPs IOUTPK is set to high.  
The analog current consumption includes the TxDACs analog  
supply (Pin 43) along with the standing current from the IAMPs  
outputs. Equation 2 and Equation 5 can be used to calculate the  
power dissipated in the IAMP for the current and voltage mode  
configuration. Figure 66 shows the current consumption for the  
TxDAC and IAMP as a function of the TxDACs standing current,  
I, when only the IOUTN outputs are used. Figure 67 shows the  
current consumption for the TxDAC and IAMP as a function of  
the TxDAC’s standing current, I, when the IOUTN and IOUTG  
outputs are used. Both figures are with the default current mirror  
gain settings of N = 4 and G = 12.

AD9865  
RECEIVE PATH  
does not get amplified with high RxPGA gain settings,  
potentially exceeding the ADC input range.  
The receive path block diagram for the AD9865 (or AD9866) is  
shown in Figure 68. The receive signal path consists of a 3-stage  
RxPGA, a 3-pole programmable LPF, and a 10-bit (or 12-bit)  
ADC. Note that the additional two bits of resolution offered by  
the AD9866 result in a 3 dB to 5 dB lower noise floor depending  
on the RxPGA gain setting and LPF cutoff frequency. Also working  
in conjunction with the receive path is an offset correction circuit.  
These blocks are discussed in detail in the following sections.  
Note that the power consumption of the RxPGA can be modified  
via Register 0x13 as discussed in the Power Control and  
Dissipation section.  
To limit the RxPGA’s self-induced input offset, an offset  
cancellation loop is included. This cancellation loop is auto-  
matically performed upon power-up and can also be initiated  
via SPI. During calibration, the RxPGA’s first stage is internally  
shorted, and each gain stage set to a high gain setting. A digital  
servo loop slaves a calibration DAC, which forces the Rx input  
offset to be within 32 LSB for this particular high gain setting.  
Although the offset varies for other gain settings, the offset is  
typically limited to 5ꢀ of the ADCs 2 V input span. Note that  
the offset cancellation circuitry is intended to reduce the voltage  
offset attributed to only the RxPGA’s input stage, not any dc  
offsets attributed to an external source.

The gain of the RxPGA should be set to minimize clipping of  
the ADC while utilizing most of its dynamic range. The maxi-  
mum peak-to-peak differential voltage that does not result in  
clipping of the ADC is shown in Figure 69. While the graph  
suggests that maximum input signal for a gain setting of −12 dB  
is 8.0 V p-p, the maximum input voltage into the PGA should  
be limited to less than 6 V p-p to prevent turning on ESD protec-  
tion diodes. For applications having higher maximum input  
signals, consider adding an external resistive attenuator network.  
While the input sensitivity of the Rx path is degraded by the  
amount of attenuation on a dB-to-dB basis, the low noise  
characteristics of the RxPGA provide some design margin such  
that the external line noise remains the dominant source.

RX PROGRAMMABLE GAIN AMPLIFIER  
The RxPGA has a digitally programmable gain range from  
−12 dB to +48 dB with 1 dB resolution via a 6-bit word. Its  
purpose is to extend the dynamic range of the Rx path such that  
the input of the ADC is presented with a signal that scales  
within its fixed 2 V input span. There are multiple ways of  
setting the RxPGA’s gain as discussed in the RxPGA Control  
section, as well as an alternative 3-bit gain mapping having a  
range of −12 dB to +36 dB with 8 dB resolution.

The RxPGA is comprised of two sections: a continuous time  
PGA (CPGA) for course gain and a switched capacitor PGA  
(SPGA) for fine gain resolution. The CPGA consists of two  
cascaded gain stages providing a gain range from −12 dB to  
+42 dB with 6 dB resolution. The firststage features a low noise  
preamplifier (< 3.0 nV/rtHz), thereby eliminating the need for  
an external preamplifier. The SPGA provides a gain range from  
0 dB to 6 dB with 1 dB resolution. A look-up table (LUT) is  
used to select the appropriate gain setting for each stage.

LOW-PASS FILTER  
NORMALIZED GAIN RESPONSE  
The low-pass filter (LPF) provides a third order response with a  
cutoff frequency that is typically programmable over a 15 MHz  
to 35 MHz span. Figure 68 shows that the first real pole is im-  
plemented within the first CPGA gain stage, and the complex  
pole pair is implemented in the second CPGA gain stage.  
Capacitor arrays are used to vary the different R-C time con-  
stants within these two stages in a manner that changes the  
cutoff frequency while preserving the normalized frequency  
response. Because absolute resistor and capacitor values are  
process-dependent, a calibration routine lasting less than 100 µs  
automatically occurs each time the target cutoff frequency  
register (Register 0x08) is updated, ensuring a repeatable cutoff  
frequency from device to device.

Table 20 shows the SPI registers pertaining to the LPF.  
The −3 dB cut-off frequency, f−3 dB, is programmable by writing  
an 8-bit word, referred to as the target, to Register 0x08. The  
cutoff frequency is a function of the ADC sample rate, fADC, and  
to a lesser extent, the RxPGA gain setting (in dB). Figure 72  
shows how the frequency response, f3 dB, varies as a function of  
the RxPGA gain setting.

ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER (ADC)  
The AD9865 features a 10-bit analog-to-digital converter  
(ADC) capable of up to 80 MSPS. Referring to Figure 68, the  
ADC is driven by the SPGA stage, which performs both the  
sample-and-hold and the fine gain adjust functions. A buffer  
amplifier (not shown) isolates the last CPGA gain stage from  
the dynamic load presented by the SPGA stage. The full-scale  
input span of the ADC is 2 V p-p, and depending on the PGA  
gain setting, the full-scale input span into the SPGA is  
adjustable from 1 V to 2 V in 1 dB increments.

A pipelined multistage ADC architecture is used to achieve high  
sample rates while consuming low power. The ADC distributes  
the conversion over several smaller A/D subblocks, refining the  
conversion with progressively higher accuracy as it passes the  
results from stage to stage on each clock edge. The ADC typi-  
cally performs best when driven internally by a 50ꢀ duty cycle  
clock. This is especially the case when operating the ADC at  
high sample rate (55 MSPS to 80 MSPS) and/or lower internal  
bias levels, which adversely affect interstage settling time  
requirements.

TARGET-DECIMAL EQUIVALENT  
Figure 73. Measured and Calculated f−3 dB vs. Target Value  
for fADC = 50 MSPS and 80 MSPS  
The following scaling factor can be applied to the previous  
formula to compensate for the RxPGA gain setting on f−3 dB  
:
Scale Factor = 1 − (RxPGA in dB)/382  
(9)  
This scaling factor reduces the calculated f−3 dB as the RxPGA is  
increased. Applications that need to maintain a minimum cut-  
off frequency, f−3 dB_MIN, for all RxPGA gain settings should first  
determine the scaling factor for the highest RxPGA gain setting  
to be used. Next, the f−3 dB_MIN should be divided by this scale  
factor to normalize to the 0 dB RxPGA gain setting (f−3 dB_0 dB).  
Equation 8 can then be used to calculate the target value.  
The ADC sampling clock path also includes a duty cycle  
restorer circuit, which ensures that the ADC gets a near 50ꢀ  
duty cycle clock even when presented with a clock source with  
poor symmetry (35/65). This circuit should be enabled if the  
ADC sampling clock is a buffered version of the reference signal  
appearing at OSCIN (see the Clock Synthesizer section), and if  
this reference signal is derived from an oscillator or crystal  
whose specified symmetry cannot be guaranteed to be within  
45/55 (or 55/45). This circuit can remain disabled if the ADC  
sampling clock is derived from a divided down version of the  
clock synthesizers VCO, because this clock is near 50ꢀ.  
The LPF frequency response shows a slight sensitivity to  
temperature, as shown in Figure 74. Applications sensitive to  
temperature drift can recalibrate the LPF by rewriting the target  
value to Register 0x08.

The ADCs power consumption can be reduced by 25 mA, with  
minimal effect on its performance, by setting Bit 4 of Register  
0x07. Alternative power bias settings are also available via  
Register 0x13, as discussed in the Power Control and  
Dissipation section. Lastly, the ADC can be completely powered  
down for half-duplex operation, further reducing the AD9865’s  
peak power consumption.

AGC TIMING CONSIDERATIONS  
When implementing a digital AGC timing loop, it is important  
to consider the Rx path latency and settling time of the Rx path  
in response to a change in gain setting. Figure 21 and Figure 24  
show the RxPGA’s settling response to a 60 dB and 5 dB change  
in gain setting when using the Tx[5:0] or PGA[5:0] port. While  
the RxPGA settling time may also show a slight dependency on  
the LPFs cut-off frequency, the ADCs pipeline delay along with  
the ADIO bus interface presents a more significant delay. The  
amount of delay or latency is dependent on whether a half-or  
full-duplex is selected. An impulse response at the RxPGA’s  
input can be observed after 10.0 ADC clock cycles (1/fADC) in  
the case of a half-duplex interface, and 10.5 ADC clock cycles in  
the case of a full-duplex interface. This latency, along with the  
RxPGA settling time, should be considered to ensure stability of  
the AGC loop.

Figure 75. ADC Reference and Decoupling  
The ADC has an internal voltage reference and reference ampli-  
fier as shown in Figure 75. The internal band gap reference  
generates a stable 1 V reference level that is converted to a dif-  
ferential 1 V reference centered about mid-supply (AVDD/2).  
The outputs of the differential reference amplifier are available  
at the REFT and REFB pins and must be properly decoupled for  
optimum performance. The REFT and REFB pins are conven-  
iently situated at the corners of the CSP package such that C1  
(0603 type) can be placed directly across its pins. C3 and C4 can  
be placed underneath C1, and C2 (10 µF tantalum) can be  
placed furthest from the package.

CLOCK SYNTHESIZER  
(fDAC). The first option is the default setting and most desirable  
if fOSCIN is equal to the ADC sample rate, fADC. This option  
typically results in the best jitter/phase noise performance for  
the ADC sampling clock. The second option is suitable in cases  
where fOSCIN is a factor of 2 or 4 less than the fADC. In this case,  
the divider ratio, N, is chosen such that the divided down VCO  
output is equal to the ADC sample rate, as shown in the  
following equation:  
The AD9865 generates all its internal sampling clocks, as well as  
two user-programmable clock outputs appearing at CLKOUT1  
and CLKOUT2, from a single reference source as shown in  
Figure 76. The reference source can be either a fundamental  
frequency or an overtone quartz crystal connected between  
OSCIN and XTAL with the parallel resonant load components  
as specified by the crystal manufacturer. It can also be a TTL-  
level clock applied to OSCIN with XTAL left unconnected.  
f
ADC = fDAC/2N  
(12)  
The data rate, fDATA, for the Tx and Rx data paths must always be  
equal. Therefore, the ADCs sample rate, fADC, is always equal to  
fDATA while the TxDAC update rate is a factor of 1, 2, or 4 of  
fDATA, depending on the interpolation factor selected. The data  
rate refers to the word rate and should not be confused with the  
nibble rate in full-duplex interface.  
where N = 0, 1, or 2.  
Figure 77 shows the degradation in phase noise performance  
imparted onto the ADCs sampling clock for different VCO  
output frequencies. In this case, a 25 MHz, 1 V p-p sine wave  
was used to drive OSCIN, and the PLL’s M and N factors were  
selected to provide an fADC of 50 MHz for VCO operating  
frequencies of 50, 100, and 200 MHz. The RxPGA input was  
driven with a near full-scale, 12.5 MHz input signal with a gain  
setting of 0 dB. Operating the VCO at the highest possible  
frequency results in the best narrow and wideband phase noise  
characteristics. For comparison purposes, the clock source for  
the ADC was taken directly from OSCIN when driven by a  
50 MHz square wave.

The 2M CLK multiplier contains a PLL (with integrated loop  
filter) and VCO capable of generating an output frequency that  
is a multiple of 1, 2, 4, or 8 of its input reference frequency,  
fOSCIN, appearing at OSCIN. The input frequency range of fOSCIN

M is the PLL’s multiplication factor set in Register 0x04. The  
value of M is determined by the Tx paths word rate, fDATA, and  
digital interpolation factor, F, as shown in the following  
equation:  
The CLK synthesizer also has two clock outputs appearing at  
CLKOUT1 and CLKOUT2. They are programmable via  
Register 0x06. Both outputs can be inverted or disabled. The  
voltage levels appearing at these outputs are relative to DRVDD  
and remain active during a hardware or software reset. Table 22

Note: if the reference frequency appearing at OSCIN is chosen  
to be equal to the AD9865s Tx and Rx path’s word rate, then M  
is simply equal to log2(F).  
CLKOUT1 is a divided version of the VCO output and can be  
set to be a submultiple integer of fDAC (fDAC/2R, where R = 0, 1, 2,

AD9865  
POWER CONTROL AND DISSIPATION  
POWER-DOWN  
HALF-DUPLEX POWER SAVINGS  
The AD9865 provides the ability to control the power-on state  
of various functional blocks. The state of the PWRDWN pin  
along with the contents of Register 0x01 and Register 0x02  
allow two user-defined power settings that are pin selectable.  
The default settings1 are such that Register 0x01 has all blocks  
powered on (all bits 0), while Register 0x02 has all blocks  
powered down excluding the PLL such that the clock signal  
remains available at CLKOUT1 and CLKOUT2. When the  
PWRDWN pin is low, the functional blocks corresponding to  
the bits in Register 0x01 are powered down. When the  
PWRDWN is high, the functional blocks corresponding to the  
bits in Register 0x02 are powered down. PWRDWN  
immediately affects the designated functional blocks with  
minimum digital delay.  
Significant power savings can be realized in applications having  
a half-duplex protocol allowing only the Rx or Tx path to be  
operational at any instance. The power savings method depends  
on whether the AD9865 is configured for a full- or half-duplex  
interface. Functional blocks having fast power on/off times for  
the Tx and Rx path are controlled by the following bits:  
TxDAC/IAMP, TX Digital, ADC, and RxPGA.  
In the case of a full-duplex digital interface (MODE = 1), one  
can set Register 0x01 to 0x60 and Register 0x02 to Register 0x05  
(or vice versa) such that the AD9865s Tx and Rx path are never  
powered on simultaneously. The PWRDWN pin can then be  
used to control which path is powered on, depending on the  
burst type. During a Tx burst, the Rx path’s PGA and ADC  
blocks can typically be powered down within 100 ns, while the  
Tx paths DAC, IAMP, and digital filter blocks are powered up  
within 0.5 µs. For an Rx burst, the Tx paths can be powered  
down within 100 ns, while the Rx circuitry is powered up  
within 2 µs.

compatibility with the AD9875/AD9876 MxFEs with the excep-  
tion that the TxDAC remains powered, if its IOUTP outputs are

flushed with 0s before or after being powered down. This  
ensures that upon power-up, the TxDAC (and IAMP) have a

Applications using a half-duplex interface (MODE = 0) can  
benefit from an additional power savings feature made available  
in Register 0x03. This register is effective only for a half-duplex  
interface. Besides providing power savings for half-duplex  
applications, this feature allows the AD9865 to be used in  
applications that need only its Rx (or Tx) path functionality  
through pin-strapping, making a serial port interface (SPI)  
optional. This feature also allows the PWRDWN pin to retain  
its default function as a master power control, as defined in

The default settings for Register 0x03 provide fast power control  
of the functional blocks in the Tx and Rx signal paths (outlined  
above) using the TXEN pin. The TxDAC still remains powered  
on in this mode, while the IAMP is powered down. Significant  
current savings are typically realized when the IAMP is  
powered down.  
1 With MODE = 1 and CONFIG =1, Reg. 0x02 default settings are with all blocks  
powered off, with RXCLK providing a buffered version of the signal  
appearing at OSCIN. This setting results in the lowest power consumption  
upon power-up, while still allowing AD9865 to generate the system clock via  
a crystal.  
For a Tx burst, the falling edge of TXEN is used to generate an  
internal delayed signal for powering down the Tx circuitry.  
Upon receipt of this signal, power-down of the Tx circuitry

occurs within 100 ns. The user-programmable delay for the Tx  
path power-down is meant to match the pipeline delay of the  
last Tx burst sample such that power-down of the TxDAC and  
IAMP does not impact its transmission. A 5-bit field in Register 0x03  
sets the delay from 0 to 31 TXCLK clock cycles, with the default  
being 31 (0.62 µs with fTXCLK = 50 MSPS). The digital interpolation  
filter is automatically flushed with midscale samples prior to  
power-down, if the clock signal into the TXCLK pin is present  
for 33 additional clock cycles after TXEN returns low. For an Rx  
burst, the rising edge of TXEN is used to generate an internal  
signal (with no delay) that powers up the Tx circuitry within 0.5 µs.

The Rx path power-on/power-off can be controlled by either  
TXEN or RXEN by setting Bit 2 of Register 0x03. In the default  
setting, the falling edge of TXEN powers up the Rx circuitry  
within 2 µs, while the rising edge of TXEN powers down the Rx  
circuitry within 0.5 µs. If RXEN is selected as the control signal,  
then its rising edge powers up the Rx circuitry and the falling  
edge powers it down. To disable the fast power-down of the Tx  
and/or Rx circuitry, set Bit 1 and/or Bit 0 to 0.

POWER REDUCTION OPTIONS  
The power consumption of the AD9865 can be significantly  
reduced from its default setting by optimizing the power  
consumption versus performance of the various functional  
blocks in the Tx and Rx signal path. On the Tx path, minimum  
power consumption is realized when the TxDAC output is used  
directly and its standing current, I, is reduced to as low as 1 mA.  
Although a slight degradation in THD performance results at  
reduced standing currents, it often remains adequate for most  
applications, because the op amp driver typically limits the  
overall linearity performance of the Tx path. The load resistors  
used at the TxDAC outputs (IOUTP+ and IOUTP−) can be  
increased to generate an adequate differential voltage that can  
be further amplified via a power efficient op-amp-based driver  
solution. Figure 78 shows how the supply current for the  
TxDAC (Pin 43) is reduced from 55 mA to 14 mA as the  
standing current is reduced from 12.5mA to 1.25 mA. Further  
Tx power savings can be achieved by bypassing or reducing the  
interpolation factor of the digital filter as shown in Figure 79.

Power consumption on the Rx path can be achieved by reduc-  
ing the bias levels of the various amplifiers contained within the  
RxPGA and ADC. As previously noted, the RxPGA consists of  
two CPGA amplifiers and one SPGA amplifier. The bias levels  
of each of these amplifiers along with the ADC can be con-  
trolled via Register 0x13, as shown in Table 24. The default  
setting for 0x13 is 0x00.

Because the CPGA processes signals in the continuous time  
domain, its performance vs. bias setting remains mostly  
independent of the sample rate. Table 25 shows how the typical  
current consumption seen at AVDD (Pins 35 and 40) varies as a  
function of Bits (7:5), while the remaining bits are maintained at  
their default settings of 0. Only four of the possible settings  
result in any reduction in current consumption relative to the  
default setting. Reducing the bias level typically results in a  
degradation in the THD vs. frequency performance as shown in  
Figure 80. This is due to a reduction of the amplifiers unity gain  
bandwidth, while the SNR performance remains relatively  
unaffected.

The ADC is based on a pipeline architecture with each stage  
consisting of a switched capacitor amplifier. Therefore, its per-  
formance vs. bias level is mostly dependent on the sample rate.  
Figure 83 shows how the typical current consumption seen at  
AVDD (Pins 35 and 40) varies as a function of Bits (2:0) and  
sample rate, while the remaining bits are maintained at the  
default setting of 0. Setting Bit 4 or Register 0x07 corresponds  
to the 011 setting, and the settings of 101 and 111 result in  
higher current consumption. Figure 84 shows how the SNR and  
THD performance are affected for a 10 MHz sine wave input  
for the lower power settings as the ADC sample rate is swept  
from 20 MHz to 80 MHz.

The SPGA is implemented as a switched capacitor amplifier%  
therefore, its performance vs. bias level is mostly dependent on  
the sample rate. Figure 81 shows how the typical current  
consumption seen at AVDD (Pin 35 and Pin 40) varies as a  
function of Bits (4:3) and sample rate, while the remaining bits

the SNR and THD performance is affected for a 10 MHz sine  
wave input as the ADC sample rate is swept from 20 MHz to 80

suggesting that the SPGA bias can often be reduced from its de-  
fault setting without impacting the devices overall performance.

MODE SELECT UPON POWER-UP AND RESET  
The AD9865 power-up state is determined by the logic levels  
appearing at the MODE and CONFIG pins. The MODE pin is  
used to select a half- or full-duplex interface by pin strapping it  
low or high, respectively. The CONFIG pin is used in conjunc-  
tion with the MODE pin to determine the default settings for  
the SPI registers as outlined in Table 10.

A sine wave input is a standard and convenient method of  
analyzing the performance of a system. However, the amount of  
power reduction that is possible is application dependent, based  
on the nature of the input waveform (such as frequency content,  
peak-to-rms ratio), the minimum ADC sample, and the mini-  
mum acceptable level of performance. Thus, it is advisable that  
power-sensitive applications optimize the power bias setting of  
the Rx path using an input waveform that is representative of  
the application.  
high), thereby reducing implementation costs. For  
SEN  
example, setting MODE low and CONFIG high configures the  
AD9865 to be backward compatible with the AD9975, while  
setting MODE high and CONFIG low makes it backward  
compatible with the AD9875. Other applications must use the  
SPI to configure the device.  
RESET  
A hardware (  
pin) or software (Bit 5 of Register 0x00)  
reset can be used to place the AD9865 into a known state of  
operation as determined by the state of the MODE and  
CONFIG pins. A dc offset calibration and filter tuning routine  
is also initiated upon a hardware reset, but not with a software  
reset. Neither reset method flushes the digital interpolation  
filters in the Tx path. Refer to the Half-Duplex Mode and Full-  
Duplex Mode sections for information on flushing the digital  
filters.  
POWER DISSIPATION  
The power dissipation of the AD9865 can become quite high in  
full-duplex applications in which the Tx and Rx paths are si-  
multaneously operating with nominal power bias settings. In  
fact, some applications that use the IAMP may need to either  
reduce its peak power capabilities or reduce the power con-  
sumption of the Rx path, so that the devices maximum  
allowable power consumption, PMAX, is not exceeded.  
RESET  
A hardware reset can be triggered by pulsing the

their default settings upon going low, while the dc offset

Digital loop-back can be used to test the full-duplex digital  
interface of the AD9865. In this test, data appearing on the

confirming proper bus operation. The Rx port can also be  
three-stated for half- and full-duplex interfaces.  
ANALOG AND DIGITAL LOOP-BACK TEST MODES  
The AD9865 features analog and digital loop-back capabilities  
that can assist in system debug and final test. Analog loop-back  
routes the digital output of the ADC back into the Tx data path  
prior to the interpolation filters such that the Rx input signal  
can be monitored at the output of the TxDAC or IAMP. As a  
result, the analog loop-back feature can be used for a half- or  
full-duplex interface, to allow testing of the functionality of the  
entire IC (excluding the digital data interface).

PCB DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS  
may be allocated to the IAMP, if its supply voltage differs from  
the 3.3 V required by AVDD and CLKVDD. On the digital side,  
DVDD and DRVDD can share the same 3.3 V digital power  
plane. This digital power plane brings the current used to power  
the digital portion of the MxFE and its output drivers. This  
digital plane should be kept from going underneath the analog  
components.  
Although the AD9865 is a mixed-signal device, the part should  
be treated as an analog component. The on-chip digital circuitry  
has been specially designed to minimize the impact of its digital  
switching noise on the MxFEs analog performance.  
To achieve the best performance, the power, grounding, and  
layout recommendations in this section should be followed.  
Assembly instructions for the micro-lead frame package can be  
found in an application note from Amkor at:  
http://www.amkor.com/products/notes_papers/MLF_AppNote  
_0902.pdf.  
The analog and digital power planes allocated to the MxFE may  
be fed from the same low noise voltage source% however, they  
should be decoupled from each other to prevent the noise  
generated in the digital portion of the MxFE from corrupting  
the AVDD supply. This can be done by using ferrite beads be-  
tween the voltage source and the respective analog and digital  
power planes with a low ESR, bulk decoupling capacitor on the  
MxFE side of the ferrite. Each of the MxFEs supply pins  
(AVDD, CLKVDD, DVDD, and DRVDD) should also have  
dedicated low ESR, ESL decoupling capacitors. The decoupling  
capacitors should be placed as close to the MxFE supply pins as  
possible.  
COMPONENT PLACEMENT  
If the three following guidelines of component placement are  
followed, chances for getting the best performance from the  
MxFE are greatly increased. First, manage the path of return  
currents flowing in the ground plane so that high frequency  
switching currents from the digital circuits do not flow on the  
ground plane under the MxFE or analog circuits. Second, keep  
noisy digital signal paths and sensitive receive signal paths as  
short as possible. Third, keep digital (noise generating) and  
analog (noise susceptible) circuits as far away from each other  
as possible.  
GROUND PLANES  
The AD9865 evaluation board uses a single serrated ground  
plane to help prevent any high frequency digital ground  
currents from coupling over to the analog portion of the ground  
plane. The digital currents affiliated with the high speed data  
bus interface (Pin 1 to Pin 16) have the highest potential of  
generating problematic high frequency noise. A ground  
serration that contains these currents should reduce the effects  
of this potential noise source.  
To best manage the return currents, pure digital circuits that  
generate high switching currents should be closest to the power  
supply entry. This keeps the highest frequency return current  
paths short and prevents them from traveling over the sensitive  
MxFE and analog portions of the ground plane. Also, these  
circuits should be generously bypassed at each device, which  
further reduces the high frequency ground currents. The MxFE  
should be placed adjacent to the digital circuits, such that the  
ground return currents from the digital sections do not flow in  
the ground plane under the MxFE.  
The ground plane directly underneath the MxFE should be  
continuous and uniform. The 64-lead LFCSP package is  
designed to provide excellent thermal conductivity. This is  
partly achieved by incorporating an exposed die paddle on the  
bottom surface of the package. However, to take full advantage  
of this feature, the PCB must have features to effectively  
conduct heat away from the package. This can be achieved by  
incorporating thermal pad and thermal vias on the PCB. While  
a thermal pad provides a solderable surface on the top surface  
of the PCB (to solder the package die paddle on the board),  
thermal vias are needed to provide a thermal path to inner  
and/or bottom layers of the PCB to remove the heat.  
The AD9865 has several pins that are used to decouple sensitive  
internal nodes. These pins are REFIO, REFB, and REFT. The  
decoupling capacitors connected to these points should have  
low ESR and ESL. These capacitors should be placed as close to  
the MxFE as possible (see Figure 75) and be connected directly  
to the analog ground plane. The resistor connected to the  
REFADJ pin should also be placed close to the device and  
connected directly to the analog ground plane.  
POWER PLANES AND DECOUPLING  
Lastly, all ground connections should be made as short as  
possible. This results in the lowest impedance return paths and  
the quietest ground connections.  
While the AD9865 evaluation board demonstrates a very good  
power supply distribution and decoupling strategy, it can be  
further simplified for many applications. The board has four  
layers: two signal layers, one ground plane, and one power  
plane. While the power plane on the evaluation board is split  
into multiple analog and digital subsections, a permissible  
alternative would be to have AVDD and CLKVDD share the  
same analog 3.3 V power plane. A separate analog plane/supply  
SIGNAL ROUTING  
The digital Rx and Tx signal paths should be kept as short as  
possible. Also, the impedance of these traces should have a  
controlled characteristic impedance of about 50 Ω. This  
prevents poor signal integrity and the high currents that can

AD9865  
occur during undershoot or overshoot caused by ringing. If the  
signal traces cannot be kept shorter than about 1.5 inches, series  
termination resistors (33 Ω to 47 Ω) should be placed close to  
all digital signal sources. It is a good idea to series-terminate all  
clock signals at their source, regardless of trace length.  
form a differential pair and should be routed together as a pair.  
By keeping the traces adjacent to each other, noise coupled onto  
the signals appears as common mode and is largely rejected by  
the MxFE receive input. Keeping the driving point impedance  
of the receive signal low and placing any low-pass filtering of  
the signals close to the MxFE further reduces the possibility of  
noise corrupting these signals.  
The receive RX+ and RX− signals are the most sensitive signals  
on the entire board. Careful routing of these signals is essential  
for good receive path performance. The RX+ and RX− signals

independent monitoring of the ac power line. The evaluation  
board allows complete optimization of power line reference  
designs based around the AD9865 or AD9866.  
An evaluation board is available for the AD9865 and AD9866.  
The digital interface to the evaluation board can be configured  
for a half- or full-duplex interface. Two 40-pin and one 26-pin  
male right angle headers (0.100 inches) provide easy interfacing  
to test equipment such as digital data capture boards, pattern  
generators, or custom digital evaluation boards (FPGA, DSP, or  
ASIC). The reference clock source can originate from an exter-  
nal generator, crystal oscillator, or crystal. Software and an  
interface cable are included to allow for programming of the SPI  
registers via a PC.  
Alternatively, the evaluation board allows independent evalua-  
tion of the TxDAC, IAMP, and Rx paths via SMA connectors.  
The IAMP can be easily configured for a voltage or current  
mode interface via jumper settings. The TxDACs performance  
can be evaluated directly or via an optional dual op amp driver  
stage. The Rx path includes a transformer and termination  
resistor allowing a calibrated differential input signal to be  
injected into its front end.  
The analog interface on the evaluation board provides a full
