AD9953
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9953 is a direct digital synthesizer (DDS) featuring a
14-bit DAC operating up to 400 MSPS. The AD9953 uses
advanced DDS technology, coupled with an internal high speed,
high performance DAC to form a digitally programmable,
complete high frequency synthesizer capable of generating a
frequency-agile analog output sinusoidal waveform at up to
200 MHz. The AD9953 includes an integrated 1024 × 32 static
RAM to support flexible frequency sweep capability in several
modes. The AD9953 is designed to provide fast frequency
hopping and fine tuning resolution (32-bit frequency tuning
word). The frequency tuning and control words are loaded into
the AD9953 via a serial I/O port.
The AD9953 is specified to operate over the extended industrial
temperature range of –40°C to +105°C.

1 To achieve the best possible phase noise, the largest amplitude clock possible should be used. Reducing the clock input amplitude will reduce the phase noise
performance of the device.
2 Wake-up time refers to the recovery from analog power-down modes (see the Power-Down Functions of the AD9953 section). The longest time required is for the
reference clock multiplier PLL to relock to the reference. The wake-up time assumes there is no capacitor on DACBP and that the recommended PLL loop filter values
are used.
3 SYSCLK cycle refers to the actual clock frequency used on-chip by the DDS. If the reference clock multiplier is used to multiply the external reference clock frequency,
the SYSCLK frequency is the external frequency multiplied by the reference clock multiplication factor. If the reference clock multiplier is not used, the SYSCLK
frequency is the same as the external reference clock frequency.
4 SYNC_CLK = ¼ SYSCLK rate. For SYNC_CLK rates ≥ 50 MHz, the high speed sync enable bit, CFR2<11>, should be set.
5 This parameter indicates that the digital synchronization feature cannot overcome phase delays (timing skew) between system clock rising edges. If the system clock
edges are aligned, the synchronization function should not increase the skew between the two edges.

AD9953
THEORY OF OPERATION
COMPONENT BLOCKS
DDS Core
Clock Input
The output frequency (fO) of the DDS is a function of the
frequency of the system clock (SYSCLK), the value of the
frequency tuning word (FTW), and the capacity of the
accumulator (232, in this case). The exact relationship is given
below with fS defined as the frequency of SYSCLK.
The AD9953 supports various clock methodologies. Support for
differential or single-ended input clocks and enabling of an on-
chip oscillator and/or a phase-locked loop (PLL) multiplier is all
controlled via user programmable bits. The AD9953 may be
configured in one of six operating modes to generate the system
clock. The modes are configured using the CLKMODESELECT
pin, CFR1<4>, and CFR2<7:3>. Connecting the external pin
CLKMODESELECT to Logic High enables the on-chip crystal
oscillator circuit. With the on-chip oscillator enabled, users of
the AD9953 connect an external crystal to the REFCLK and
REFCLKB inputs to produce a low frequency reference clock in
the range of 20 MHz to 30 MHz. The signal generated by the
oscillator is buffered before it is delivered to the rest of the chip.
This buffered signal is available via the CRYSTAL OUT pin. Bit
CFR1<4> can be used to enable or disable the buffer, turning on
or off the system clock. The oscillator itself is not powered
down in order to avoid long start-up times associated with
turning on a crystal oscillator. Writing CFR2<9> to Logic High
enables the crystal oscillator output buffer. Logic Low at
CFR2<9> disables the oscillator output buffer.

The value at the output of the phase accumulator is translated to
an amplitude value via the COS(x) functional block and routed
to the DAC.
In certain applications, it is desirable to force the output signal
to zero phase. Simply setting the FTW to 0 does not accomplish
this; it only results in the DDS core holding its current phase
value. Thus, a control bit is required to force the phase
accumulator output to zero.
At power-up, the clear phase accumulator bit is set to Logic 1,
but the buffer memory for this bit is cleared (Logic 0).
Therefore, upon power-up, the phase accumulator will remain
clear until the first I/O UPDATE is issued.
Connecting CLKMODESELECT to Logic Low disables the
on-chip oscillator and the oscillator output buffer. With the
oscillator disabled, an external oscillator must provide the
REFCLK and/or REFCLKB signals. For differential operation,
these pins are driven with complementary signals. For single-
ended operation, a 0.1 μF capacitor should be connected
between the unused pin and the analog power supply. With the
capacitor in place, the clock input pin bias voltage is 1.35 V. In
addition, the PLL may be used to multiply the reference
frequency by an integer value in the range of 4 to 20. Table 4
summarizes the clock modes of operation. Note that the PLL
multiplier is controlled via the CFR2<7:3> bits, independent of
the CFR1<4> bit.
Phase-Locked Loop (PLL)
The PLL allows multiplication of the REFCLK frequency.
Control of the PLL is accomplished by programming the 5-bit
REFCLK multiplier portion of Control Function Register No. 2,
Bits <7:3>.
When programmed for values ranging from 0x04 to 0x14
(4 decimal to 20 decimal), the PLL multiplies the REFCLK
input frequency by the corresponding decimal value. However,
the maximum output frequency of the PLL is restricted to
400 MHz. Whenever the PLL value is changed, the user should
be aware that time must be allocated to allow the PLL to lock
(approximately 1 ms).
The PLL is bypassed by programming a value outside the range
of 4 to 20 (decimal). When bypassed, the PLL is shut down to
conserve power.

AD9953
DAC Output
Serial IO Port
The AD9953 incorporates an integrated 14-bit current output
DAC. Unlike most DACs, this output is referenced to AVDD,
not AGND.
The AD9953 serial port is a flexible, synchronous serial
communications port that allows easy interface to many industry-
standard microcontrollers and microprocessors. The serial I/O port
is compatible with most synchronous transfer formats, including
both the Motorola 6905/11 SPI® and Intel® 8051 SSR protocols.
Two complementary outputs provide a combined full-scale
output current (IOUT). Differential outputs reduce the amount of
common-mode noise that might be present at the DAC output,
offering the advantage of an increased signal-to-noise ratio. The
The interface allows read/write access to all registers that configure
the AD9953. MSB first or LSB first transfer formats are supported.
The AD9953’s serial interface port can be configured as a single pin
I/O (SDIO), which allows a 2-wire interface or two unidirectional
pins for in/out (SDIO/SDO), which in turn enables a 3-wire
full-scale current is controlled by an external resistor (RSET
)
connected between the DAC_RSET pin and the DAC ground
(AGND_DAC). The full-scale current is proportional to the
resistor value as follows:
interface. Two optional pins, IOSYNC and , enable greater
CS
flexibility for system design in the AD9953.
Register Map and Descriptions
The register map is listed in Table 5.
RSET = 39.19/IOUT
The maximum full-scale output current of the combined DAC
outputs is 15 mA, but limiting the output to 10 mA provides the
best spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) performance. The DAC
output compliance range is AVDD + 0.5 V to AVDD – 0.5 V.
Voltages developed beyond this range will cause excessive DAC
distortion and could potentially damage the DAC output circuitry.
Proper attention should be paid to the load termination to keep the
output voltage within this compliance range.

will cause the output to ramp down from the amplitude scale
factor to zero scale at the amplitude ramp rate. See the Shaped
On-Off Keying section for details.
Control Function Register. No. 1 (CFR1)
The CFR1 is used to control the various functions, features, and
modes of the AD9953. The functionality of each bit is below.
CFR1<23>: Automatic Synchronization Enable Bit
CFR1<31>: RAM Enable Bit
CFR1<23> = 0 (default). The automatic synchronization feature
of multiple AD9953s is inactive.
CFR1<31> = 0 (default). The RAM is powered down to
conserve power. Single-tone mode of operation is active.
CFR1<23> = 1. The automatic synchronization feature of
multiple AD9953s is active. The device will synchronize its
internal synchronization clock (SYNC_CLK) to align to the
signal present on the SYNC_IN input. See the Synchronizing
Multiple AD9953s section for details.
CFR1<31> = 1. If CFR1<31> is active, the RAM is enabled for
operation. Access control for normal operation is controlled via
the mode control bits of the RSCW for the current profile.
CFR1<30>: RAM Destination Bit
CFR1<30> = 0 (default). If CFR1<31> is active, a Logic 0 on the
RAM destination bit (CFR1<30> = 0) configures the AD9953
such that the RAM output drives the phase accumulator (i.e.,
the frequency tuning word). If CFR1<31> is inactive,
CFR1<30> is a Don’t Care.
CFR1<22>: Software Manual Synchronization of Multiple
AD9953s
CFR1<22> = 0 (default). The manual synchronization feature is
inactive.
CFR1<22> = 1. The software controlled manual synchroniza-
tion feature is executed. The SYNC_CLK rising edge is
advanced by one SYNC_CLK cycle and this bit is cleared. To
advance the rising edge multiple times, this bit needs to be set
for each advance. See the Synchronizing Multiple AD9953s
section for details.
CFR1<30> = 1. If CFR1<31> is active, a Logic 1 on the RAM
destination bit (CFR1<30> = 1) configures the AD9953 such
that the RAM output drives the phase-offset adder (i.e., sets the
phase offset of the DDS core).
CFR1<29:27>: Not Used
CFR1<26>: Amplitude Ramp Rate Load Control Bit
CFR1<21:14>: Not Used
CFR1<26> = 0 (default). The amplitude ramp rate timer is
loaded only upon timeout (timer == 1) and is not loaded due to
an I/O UPDATE input signal.
CFR1<13>: Auto-Clear Phase Accumulator Bit
CFR1<13> = 0 (default). The current state of the phase accumula-
tor remains unchanged when the frequency tuning word is applied.
CFR1<26> = 1. The amplitude ramp rate timer is loaded upon
timeout (timer == 1) or at the time of an I/O UPDATE input signal.
CFR1<13> = 1. This bit automatically synchronously clears
(loads 0s into) the phase accumulator for one cycle upon
reception of an I/O UPDATE signal.
CFR1<25>: Shaped On-Off Keying Enable Bit
CFR1<25> = 0 (default). Shaped on-off keying is bypassed.
CFR1<12>: Sine/Cosine Select Bit
CFR1<25> = 1. Shaped on-off keying is enabled. When enabled,
CFR1<24> controls the mode of operation for this function.
CFR1<12> = 0 (default). The angle-to-amplitude conversion
logic employs a COSINE function.
CFR1<24>: Auto Shaped On-Off Keying Enable Bit (Only Valid
when CFR1<25> Is Active High)
CFR1<12> = 1. The angle-to-amplitude conversion logic
employs a SINE function.
CFR1<24> = 0 (default). When CFR1<25> is active, a Logic 0
on CFR1<24> enables the manual shaped on-off keying
operation. Each amplitude sample sent to the DAC is multiplied
by the amplitude scale factor. See the Shaped On-Off Keying
section for details.
CFR1<11>: Not Used
CFR1<10>: Clear Phase Accumulator
CFR1<10> = 0 (default). The phase accumulator functions as
normal.
CFR1<10> = 1. The phase accumulator memory elements are
cleared and held clear until this bit is cleared.
CFR1<24> = 1. When CFR1<25> is active, a Logic 1 on
CFR1<24> enables the auto shaped on-off keying operation.
Toggling the OSK pin high will cause the output scalar to ramp
up from zero scale to the amplitude scale factor at a rate deter-
mined by the amplitude ramp rate. Toggling the OSK pin low
AD9953
CFR1<9>: SDIO Input Only
minimum. However, the synchronization circuitry remains
active (internally) to maintain normal device timing.
CFR1<9> = 0 (default). The SDIO pin has bidirectional
operation (2-wire serial programming mode).
CFR1<0>: Not Used, Leave at 0
CFR1<9> = 1. The serial data I/O pin (SDIO) is configured as
an input only pin (3-wire serial programming mode).
Control Function Register No. 2 (CFR2)
The CFR2 is used to control the various functions, features, and
modes of the AD9953, primarily related to the analog sections
of the chip.
CFR1<8>: LSB First
CFR1<8> = 0 (default). MSB first format is active.
CFR2<23:12>: Not Used
CFR1<8> = 1. The serial interface accepts serial data in LSB
first format.
CFR2<11>: High Speed Sync Enable Bit
CFR2<11> = 0 (default). The high speed sync enhancement is off.
CFR1<7>: Digital Power-Down Bit
CFR1<7> = 0 (default). All digital functions and clocks are active.
CFR2<11> = 1. The high speed sync enhancement is on. This
bit should be set when attempting to use the auto-
synchronization feature for SYNC_CLK inputs beyond 50 MHz,
(200 MSPS SYSCLK). See the Synchronizing Multiple AD9953s
section for details.
CFR1<7> = 1. All non-IO digital functionality is suspended,
lowering the power significantly.
CFR1<6>: Not Used
CFR1<5>: DAC Power-Down Bit
CFR2<10>: Hardware Manual Sync Enable Bit
CFR1<5> = 0 (default). The DAC is enabled for operation.
CFR2<10> = 0 (default). The hardware manual sync function is off.
CFR1<5> = 1. The DAC is disabled and is in its lowest power
dissipation state.
CFR2<10> = 1. The hardware manual sync function is enabled.
While this bit is set, a rising edge on the SYNC_IN pin will
cause the device to advance the SYNC_CLK rising edge by one
REFCLK cycle. Unlike the software manual sync enable bit, this
bit does not self clear. Once the hardware manual sync mode is
enabled, it will stay enabled until this bit is cleared. See the
Synchronizing Multiple AD9953s section for details.
CFR1<4>: Clock Input Power-Down Bit
CFR1<4> = 0 (default). The clock input circuitry is enabled for
operation.
CFR1<4> = 1. The clock input circuitry is disabled and the
device is in its lowest power dissipation state.
CFR2<9>: CRYSTAL OUT Enable Bit
CFR1<3>: External Power-Down Mode
CFR2<9> = 0 (default). The CRYSTAL OUT pin is inactive.
CFR1<3> = 0 (default). The external power-down mode
selected is the rapid recovery power-down mode. In this mode,
when the PWRDWNCTL input pin is high, the digital logic
and the DAC digital logic are powered down. The DAC bias
circuitry, PLL, oscillator, and clock input circuitry are not
powered down.
CFR2<9> = 1. The CRYSTAL OUT pin is active. When active,
the crystal oscillator circuitry output drives the CRYSTAL OUT
pin, which can be connected to other devices to produce a
reference frequency. The oscillator will respond to crystals in
the range of 20 MHz to 30 MHz.
CFR2<8>: Not Used
CFR1<3> = 1. The external power-down mode selected is the
full power-down mode. In this mode, when the PWRDWNCTL
input pin is high, all functions are powered down. This includes
the DAC and PLL, which take a significant amount of time to
power up.
CFR2<7:3>: Reference Clock Multiplier Control Bits
This 5-bit word controls the multiplier value out of the clock-
multiplier (PLL) block. Valid values are decimal 4 to 20 (0x04 to
0x14). Values entered outside this range will bypass the clock
multiplier. See the Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) section for details.
CFR1<2>: Not Used
CFR1<1>: SYNC_CLK Disable Bit
CFR1<1> = 0 (default). The SYNC_CLK pin is active.
CFR2<2>: VCO Range Control Bit
This bit is used to control the range setting on the VCO.
When CFR2<2> == 0 (default), the VCO operates in a range of
100 MHz to 250 MHz. When CFR2<2> == 1, the VCO operates
in a range of 250 MHz to 400 MHz.
CFR1<1> = 1. The SYNC_CLK pin assumes a static Logic 0
state to keep noise generated by the digital circuitry at a

AD9953
CFR2<1:0>: Charge Pump Current Control Bits
ramping, this 16-bit word defines the number of SYNC_CLK
cycles the RAM controller dwells at each address. A value of 0 is
invalid. Any other value from 1 to 65535 may be used.
These bits are used to control the current setting on the charge
pump. The default setting, CFR2<1:0>, sets the charge pump
current to the default value of 75 μA. For each bit added (01, 10,
11), 25 μA of current is added to the charge pump current:
100 μA, 125 μA, and 150 μA.
RAM Segment Final Address RSCW<9:8>, RSCW<23:16>
This discontinuous 10-bit sequence defines the final address
value for the given RAM segment. The order in which the bits
are listed is the order in which the bits must be written.
RSCW<23>, even though during the write operation is more
significant than RSCW<9>, is only the third MSB of the final
address value. RSCW<9>, even though it comes later in the
RSCW than RSCW<23>, is the MSB of the final address value.
Other Register Descriptions
Amplitude Scale Factor (ASF)
The ASF register stores the 2-bit auto ramp rate speed value
and the 14-bit amplitude scale factor used in the output shaped
keying (OSK) operation. In auto OSK operation, ASF <15:14>
tells the OSK block how many amplitude steps to take for each
increment or decrement. For ASF<15:14> = {00, 01, 10, 11}, the
increment/decrement is set to {1, 2, 4, 8}, respectively. ASF
<13:0> sets the maximum value achievable by the OSK internal
multiplier. In manual OSK mode, ASF<15:14> has no effect.
ASF <13:0> provides the output scale factor directly. If the OSK
enable bit is cleared, CFR1<25> = 0, this register has no effect
on device operation.
RAM Segment Beginning Address RSCW<3:0>, <15:10>
This discontinuous 10-bit sequence defines the final address
value for the given RAM segment. The order in which the bits
are listed is the order in which the bits must be written.
RSCW<15>, even though during the write operation is more
significant than RSCW<3>, is only the fifth MSB of the final
address value. RSCW<3>, even though it comes later in the
RSCW than RSCW<15>, is the MSB of the final address value.
Amplitude Ramp Rate (ARR)
RAM Segment Mode Control RSCW<7:5>
The ARR register stores the 8-bit amplitude ramp rate used in
the auto OSK mode. This register programs the rate at which
the amplitude scale factor counter increments or decrements. If
the OSK is set to manual mode, or if OSK enable is cleared, this
register has no effect on device operation.
This 3-bit sequence determines the RAM segment’s mode of
operation. There are only five possible RAM modes, so only
values of 0 to 5 are valid. See Table 6 to determine the bit
combination for various RAM modes.
RAM Segment No-Dwell Bit RSCW<4>
Frequency Tuning Word 0 (FTW0)
This bit sets the no-dwell feature of sweeping profiles. In
profiles that sweep from a defined beginning to a defined end,
the RAM controller can either dwell at the final address until
the next profile is selected or, when this bit is set, the RAM
controller will return to the beginning address and dwell there
until the next profile is selected.
The frequency tuning word is a 32-bit register that controls the
rate of accumulation in the phase accumulator of the DDS core.
Its specific role is dependent on the device mode of operation.
Phase Offset Word (POW)
The phase offset word is a 14-bit register that stores a phase
offset value. This offset value is added to the output of the phase
accumulator to offset the current phase of the output signal. The
exact value of phase offset is given by the following formula:
RAM
The AD9953 incorporates a 1024 × 32 block of SRAM. The
RAM is a bidirectional single port. Both read and write
operations from and to the RAM are valid, but they cannot
occur simultaneously. Write operations from the serial I/O port
have precedence, and if an attempt to write to RAM is made
during a read operation, the read operation will be halted. The
RAM is controlled in multiple ways, dictated by the modes of
operation described in the RAM Segment Control Word <7:5>
as well as data in the control function register. Read/write
control for the RAM will be described for each mode
supported.

RAM Segment Control Words (RSCW0, RSCW1, RSCW2,
and RSCW3)
When the linear sweep enable bit CFR1<21> is clear,
Registers 0x07, 0x08, 0x09, and 0x0A act as the RAM segment
control words for each of the RAM segments. Each of the RAM
segment control words is comprised of a RAM segment address
ramp rate, a final address value, a beginning address value, a
RAM segment mode control, and a no-dwell bit.
When the RAM enable bit (CFR1<31>) is set, the RAM output
optionally drives the input to the phase accumulator or the
phase offset adder, depending on the state of the RAM destina-
tion bit (CFR1<30>). If CFR1<30> is a Logic 1, the RAM output
is connected to the phase offset adder and supplies the phase
offset control word(s) for the device. When CFR1<30> is
Logic 0 (default condition), the RAM output is connected to the
RAM Segment Address Ramp Rate, RSCW<39:24>
For RAM modes that step through address values, such as
Rev. A | Page 18 of 32
AD9953
input of the phase accumulator and supplies the frequency
tuning word(s) for the device. When the RAM output drives the
phase accumulator, the phase offset word (POW, Address 0x05)
drives the phase-offset adder. Similarly, when the RAM output
drives the phase offset adder, the frequency tuning word (FTW,
Address 0x04) drives the phase accumulator. When CFR1<31>
is Logic 0, the RAM is inactive unless being written to via the
serial port. The power-up state of the AD9953 is the single-tone
mode, in which the RAM enable bit is inactive. The RAM is
segmented into four unique slices controlled by the Profile<1:0>
input pins.
RAM Controlled Modes of Operation
Direct Switch Mode
Direct switch mode enables FSK or PSK modulation. The
AD9953 is programmed for direct switch mode by writing the
RAM enable bit true and programming the RAM segment
mode control bits of each desired profile to Logic 000(b). This
mode simply reads the RAM contents at the RAM segment
beginning address for the current profile. No address ramping is
enabled in direct switch mode.
To perform 4-tone FSK, the user programs each RAM segment
control word for direct switch mode and a unique beginning
address value. In addition, the RAM enable bit is written true,
which enables the RAM, and the RAM destination bit is written
false, setting the RAM output to be the frequency tuning word.
The Profile<1:0> inputs are the 4-tone FSK data inputs. When
the profile is changed, the frequency tuning word stored in the
new profile is loaded into the phase accumulator and is used to
increment the currently stored value in a phase continuous
fashion. The phase offset word drives the phase-offset adder.
Two-tone FSK is accomplished by using only one profile pin for
data.
All RAM writes/reads, unless otherwise specified, are controlled
by the Profile<1:0> input pins and the respective RAM segment
control word. The RAM can be written to during normal
operation, but any I/O operation that commands the RAM to be
written immediately suspends read operation from the RAM,
causing the current mode of operation to be nonfunctional. This
excludes single-tone mode, as the RAM is not read in this mode.
Writing the RAM is accomplished as follows. After configuring
the desired RAM segment control words, the desired RAM
segment must be selected via the profile select pins PS<1:0>.
During the instruction byte, write the address for the RAM,
0x0B. The serial port and RAM controller will work in
conjunction to determine the width of the profile and the serial
port will accept the defined number of 32-bit words
sequentially from the beginning address to the ending address.
Consider the following example:
Programming the AD9953 for PSK modulation is similar to
FSK except the RAM destination bit is set to a Logic 1, enabling
the RAM output to drive the phase offset adder. The FTW0
drives the input to the phase accumulator. Toggling the profile
pins changes (modulates) the current phase value. The upper
14 bits of the RAM drive the phase adder (<31:18>).
Bits <17:0> of the RAM output are unused when the RAM
destination bit is set. The no-dwell bit is a Don’t Care in direct
switch mode.
•
The RAM Segment Control Word 1 lists the beginning
RAM address at 256 and the ending address at 511.
•
•
PS0 = 1 and PS1 = 0.
The instruction byte is 10001001.
Ramp-Up Mode
The RAM controller would configure the serial port to expect
256 32-bit words. The first 32 bits would be parsed as a word
and sent to RAM Address 256. The next 32 bits would be parsed
and sent to 257, and so forth, all the way through until the 256
word was sent (grand total of 8,192 data bits in this operation).
Ramp-up mode, in conjunction with the segmented RAM
capability, allows up to four different sweep profiles to be
programmed into the AD9953. The AD9953 is programmed for
ramp-up mode by writing the RAM enable bit true and
programming the RAM mode control bits of each profile to be
used to Logic 001(b). As in all modes that enable the memory,
the RAM destination bit controls whether the RAM output
drives the phase accumulator or the phase offset adder.
MODES OF OPERATION
Single-Tone Mode
In single-tone mode, the DDS core uses a single tuning word.
Whatever value is stored in FTW0 is supplied to the phase
accumulator. This value can only be changed manually, which is
done by writing a new value to FTW0 and by issuing an I/O
UPDATE. Phase adjustment is possible through the phase
offset register.
Upon starting a sweep (via an I/O UPDATE or change in
profile bits), the RAM address generator loads the RAM
segment beginning address bits of the current RSCW, driving
the RAM output from this address, and the ramp rate timer
loads the RAM segment address ramp rate bits. When the
ramp rate timer finishes a cycle, the RAM address generator
increments to the next address and the timer reloads the ramp
rate bits and begins a new countdown cycle. This sequence
continues until the RAM address generator has incremented to
an address equal to the RAM segment final address bits of the
current RSCW.
Rev. A | Page 19 of 32
AD9953
If the no-dwell bit is clear when the RAM address generator
equals the final address, the generator stops incrementing as the
terminal frequency has been reached. The sweep is complete
and does not restart until an I/O UPDATE or change in profile
is detected to enable another sweep from the beginning to the
final RAM address as described above.
The sequence of ramping up and down is controlled via the
Profile<0> input signal for as long as the part is programmed
into this mode. The no-dwell bit is a Don’t Care in this mode as
is all data in the RAM segment control words associated with
Profiles 1, 2, and 3. Only the information in the RAM segment
control word for Profile 0 is used to control the RAM in the
bidirectional ramp mode.
If the no-dwell bit is set when the RAM address generator
equals the final address, after the next ramp rate timer cycle the
phase accumulator is cleared. The phase accumulator remains
cleared until another sweep is initiated via an I/O UPDATE
input or change in profile.
Continuous Bidirectional Ramp Mode
Continuous bidirectional ramp mode allows the AD9953 to
offer an automatic symmetrical sweep between two frequencies.
The AD9953 is programmed for continuous bidirectional ramp
mode by writing the RAM enable bit true and the RAM mode
control bits of each profile to be used to Logic 011(b).
Another application for ramp-up mode is nonsymmetrical FSK
modulation. With the RAM configured for two segments, using
the Profile<0> bit as the data input allows nonsymmetrical
ramped FSK.
Upon entering this mode (via an I/O UPDATE or changing
Profile<1:0>), the RAM address generator loads the RAM
segment beginning address bits of the current RSCW and the
ramp rate timer loads the RAM segment address ramp rate bits.
The RAM drives data from the beginning address, and the ramp
rate timer begins to count down to 1. When the ramp rate timer
completes a cycle, the RAM address generator increments to the
next address, and the timer reloads the ramp rate bits and
continues counting down. This sequence continues until the
RAM address generator has incremented to an address equal to
the RAM segment final address bits of the current RSCW. Upon
reaching this terminal address, the RAM address generator will
decrement in value at the ramp rate until it reaches the RAM
segment beginning address. Upon reaching the beginning
address, the entire sequence repeats.
Bidirectional Ramp Mode
Bidirectional ramp mode allows the AD9953 to offer a symme-
trical sweep between two frequencies using the Profile<0> signal as
the control input. The AD9953 is programmed for bidirectional
ramp mode by writing the RAM enable bit true and the RAM
mode control bits of RSCW0 to Logic 010(b). In bidirectional
ramp mode, the Profile<1> input is ignored and the Profile<0>
input is the ramp direction indicator. In this mode, the memory
is not segmented and uses only a single beginning and final
address. The address registers that affect the control of the RAM
are located in the RSCW associated with Profile 0.
Upon entering this mode (via an I/O UPDATE or changing
Profile<0>), the RAM address generator loads the RAM seg-
ment beginning address bits of RSCW0 and the ramp rate timer
loads the RAM segment address ramp rate bits. The RAM
drives data from the beginning address, and the ramp rate timer
begins to count down to 1. While operating in this mode, tog-
gling the Profile<0> pin does not cause the device to generate
an internal I/O UPDATE. When the Profile<0> pin is acting as
the ramp direction indicator, any transfer of data from the I/O
buffers to the internal registers can only be initiated by a rising
edge on the I/O UPDATE pin.
The entire sequence repeats for as long as the part is
programmed for this mode. The no-dwell bit is a Don’t Care in
this mode. In general, this mode is identical in control to the
bidirectional ramp mode except the ramp up and down is
automatic (no external control via the Profile<0> input) and
switching profiles is valid. Once in this mode, the address
generator ramps from the beginning address to the final
address, then back to the beginning address at the rate
programmed into the ramp rate register. This mode enables
generation of an automatic saw tooth sweep characteristic.
RAM address control now is a function of the Profile<0> input.
When the Profile<0> bit is a Logic 1, the RAM address genera-
tor increments to the next address when the ramp rate timer
completes a cycle (and reloads to start the timer again). As in
the ramp-up mode, this sequence continues until the RAM
address generator has incremented to an address equal to the
final address as long as the Profile<0> input remains high. If the
Profile<0> input goes low, the RAM address generator imme-
diately decrements and the ramp rate timer is reloaded. The
RAM address generator will continue to decrement at the ramp
rate period until the RAM address is equal to the beginning
address as long as the Profile<0> input remains low.
Continuous Recirculate Mode
Continuous recirculate mode allows the AD9953 to offer
an automatic, continuous unidirectional sweep between two
frequencies. The AD9953 is programmed for continuous
recirculate mode by writing the RAM enable bit true and the RAM
mode control bits of each profile to be used to Logic 100(b).
Upon entering this mode (via an I/O UPDATE or changing
Profile<1:0>), the RAM address generator loads the RAM
segment beginning address bits of the current RSCW and the
ramp rate timer loads the RAM segment address ramp rate bits.
The RAM drives data from the beginning address, and the ramp
rate timer begins to count down to 1. When the ramp rate timer
completes a cycle, the RAM address generator increments to the
Rev. A | Page 20 of 32
AD9953
next address, and the timer reloads the ramp rate bits and
continues counting down. This sequence continues until the
RAM address generator has incremented to an address equal to
the RAM segment final address bits of the current RSCW. Upon
reaching this terminal address, the RAM address generator
reloads the RAM segment beginning address bits and the
sequence repeats.
is only valid when the device is operating in RAM mode. There
is no internal profile control for linear sweeping operations.
When the internal profile control mode is engaged, the RAM
segment mode control bits are Don’t Care and the device
operates all profiles as if these mode control bits were
programmed for ramp-up mode. Switching between profiles
occurs when the RAM address generator has exhausted the
memory contents for the current profile.
The sequence of circulating through the specified RAM
addresses repeats for as long as the part is programmed for this
mode. The no-dwell bit is a Don’t Care in this mode.

Notes
A single burst mode is one in which the composite sweep is
executed once. For example, assume the device is programmed
for ramp-up mode and the CFR1<29:27> bits are written to
Logic 010(b). Upon receiving an I/O UPDATE, the internal
control logic signals the device to begin executing the ramp-up
mode sequence for Profile 0. Upon reaching the RAM segment
final address value for Profile 0, the device automatically
switches to Profile 1 and begins executing that ramp-up
sequence. Upon reaching the RAM segment final address value
for Profile 1, the device automatically switches to Profile 2 and
begins executing that ramp-up sequence. When the RAM
segment final address value for Profile 2 is reached, the
sequence is over and the composite sweep has completed.
Issuing another I/O UPDATE restarts the burst process.

A continuous internal profile control mode is one in which the
composite sweep is continuously executed for as long as the
device is programmed into that mode. Using the example
above, except programming the CFR1<29:27> bits to Logic
101(b), the operation would be identical until the RAM
segment final address value for Profile 2 is reached. At this
point, instead of stopping the sequence, it repeats, starting with
Profile 0.
Internal Profile Control
The AD9953 offers a mode in which a composite frequency
sweep can be built, for which the timing control is software
programmable. The internal profile control capability disen-
gages the Profile<1:0> pins and enables the AD9953 to take
control of switching between profiles. Modes are defined that
allow continuous or single burst profile switches for three
combinations of profile selection bits. These are listed in
Table 7. When any of the CFR1<29:27> bits are active, the
internal profile control mode is engaged. Internal profile control
Rev. A | Page 21 of 32
AD9953
The modes are controlled by two bits located in the most signifi-
cant byte of the control function register (CFR). CFR1<25> is
the shaped on-off keying enable bit. When CFR1<25> is set, the
output scaling function is enabled and CFR1<25> bypasses the
function. CFR1<24> is the internal shaped on-off keying active
bit. When CFR1<24> is set, internal shaped on-off keying mode
is active; CFR1<24> is cleared, external shaped on-off keying
mode is active. CFR1<24> is a Don’t Care if the shaped on-off
keying enable bit (CFR1<25>) is cleared. The power-up
PROGRAMMING AD9953 FEATURES
Phase Offset Control
A 14-bit phase offset (θ) may be added to the output of the phase
accumulator by means of the control registers. This feature
provides the user with two different methods of phase control.
The first method is a static phase adjustment where a fixed
phase offset is loaded into the appropriate phase offset register
and left unchanged. The result is that the output signal is offset
by a constant angle relative to the nominal signal. This allows
the user to phase align the DDS output with some external
signal, if necessary.
condition is shaped on-off keying disabled (CFR1<25> = 0).
Figure 20 shows the block diagram of the OSK circuitry.
AUTO Shaped On-Off Keying Mode Operation
The second method of phase control is where the user regularly
updates the phase offset register via the I/O port. By properly
modifying the phase offset as a function of time, the user can
implement a phase modulated output signal. However, both the
speed of the I/O port and the frequency of SYSCLK limit the
rate at which phase modulation can be performed.
The auto shaped on-off keying mode is active when CFR1<25>
and CFR1<24> are set. When auto shaped on-off keying mode
is enabled, a single scale factor is internally generated and
applied to the multiplier input for scaling the output of the DDS
core block (see Figure 20). The scale factor is the output of a
14-bit counter that increments/decrements at a rate determined
by the contents of the 8-bit output ramp rate register. The scale
factor increases if the OSK pin is high and decreases if the OSK
pin is low. The scale factor is an unsigned value such that all 0s
multiply the DDS core output by 0 (decimal) and 0x3FFF
multiplies the DDS core output by 16383 (decimal).
The AD9953 allows for a programmable continuous zeroing of
the phase accumulator as well as a clear and release or
automatic zeroing function. Each feature is individually
controlled via the CFR1 bits. CFR1<13> is the automatic clear
phase
accumulator bit. CFR1<10> clears the phase accumulator and
holds the value to zero.
For those users who use the full amplitude (14 bits) but need
fast ramp rates, the internally generated scale factor step size
is controlled via the ASF<15:14> bits. Table 8 describes the
increment/decrement step size of the internally generated scale
factor per the ASF<15:14> bits.
Continuous Clear Bit
The continuous clear bit is simply a static control signal that,
when active high, holds the phase accumulator at zero for the
entire time the bit is active. When the bit goes low, inactive, the
phase accumulator is allowed to operate.
A special feature of this mode is that the maximum output
amplitude allowed is limited by the contents of the amplitude
scale factor register. This allows the user to ramp to a value less
than full scale.
Clear and Release Function
When set, the auto-clear phase accumulator clears and releases
the phase accumulator upon receiving an I/O UPDATE. The
automatic clearing function is repeated for every subsequent
I/O UPDATE until the appropriate auto-clear control bit is
cleared.

Shaped On-Off Keying
The shaped on-off keying function of the AD9953 allows the
user to control the ramp-up and ramp-down time of an on-off
emission from the DAC. This function is used in burst
transmissions of digital data to reduce the adverse spectral
impact of short, abrupt bursts of data.
Auto and manual shaped on-off keying modes are supported.
The auto mode generates a linear scale factor at a rate
determined by the amplitude ramp rate (ARR) register
controlled by an external pin (OSK). Manual mode allows the
user to directly control the output amplitude by writing the
scale factor value into the amplitude scale factor (ASF) register.
The shaped on-off keying function may be bypassed (disabled)
by clearing the OSK enable bit (CFR1<25> = 0).
Rev. A | Page 22 of 32
AD9953
The first method of loading is by changing the OSK input pin.
When the OSK input pin changes state, the ASFR value is
loaded into the ramp rate timer, which then proceeds to count
down as normal.
OSK Ramp Rate Timer
The OSK ramp rate timer is a loadable down counter, which
generates the clock signal to the 14-bit counter that generates
the internal scale factor. The ramp rate timer is loaded with the
value of the ASFR every time the counter reaches 1 (decimal).
This load and countdown operation continues for as long as the
timer is enabled, unless the timer is forced to load before
reaching a count of 1.
The second method in which the sweep ramp rate timer can be
loaded before reaching a count of 1 is if the load OSK timer bit
(CFR1<26>) is set and an I/O UPDATE is issued.
The third method in which the sweep ramp rate timer can be
loaded before reaching a count of 1 is when going from the
inactive auto shaped on-off keying mode to the active auto
shaped on-off keying mode; that is, when the sweep enable bit is
being set.
If the load OSK timer bit (CFR1<26>) is set, the ramp rate
timer is loaded upon an I/O UPDATE or upon reaching a value
of 1. The ramp timer can be loaded before reaching a count of 1
by three methods.

External Shaped On-Off Keying Mode Operation
coupled with SYNC_CLK is used to transfer internal buffer
contents into the control registers of the device. The combina-
tion of the SYNC_CLK and I/O UPDATE pins provides the
user with constant latency relative to SYSCLK, and also ensures
phase continuity of the analog output signal when a new tuning
word or phase offset value is asserted. Figure 21 demonstrates
an I/O UPDATE timing cycle and synchronization.
The external shaped on-off keying mode is enabled by writing
CFR1<25> to a Logic 1 and writing CFR1<24> to a Logic 0.
When configured for external shaped on-off keying, the
content of the ASFR becomes the scale factor for the data path.
The scale factors are synchronized to SYNC_CLK via the
I/O UPDATE functionality.
Notes for synchronization logic:
Synchronization; Register Updates (I/O UPDATE)
1. The I/O UPDATE signal is edge detected to generate a
single rising edge clock signal that drives the register bank
flops. The I/O UPDATE signal has no constraints on duty
cycle. The minimum low time on I/O UPDATE is one
SYNC_CLK clock cycle.
Functionality of the SYNC_CLK and I/O UPDATE
Data into the AD9953 is synchronous to the SYNC_CLK signal
(supplied externally to the user on the SYNC_CLK pin). The
I/O UPDATE pin is sampled on the rising edge of the
SYNC_CLK.
2. The I/O UPDATE pin is set up and held around the rising
edge of SYNC_CLK and has zero hold time and 4 ns setup
time.
Internally, SYSCLK is fed to a divide-by-4 frequency divider to
produce the SYNC_CLK signal. The SYNC_CLK signal is
provided to the user on the SYNC_CLK pin. This enables
synchronization of external hardware with the device’s internal
clocks. This is accomplished by forcing any external hardware
to obtain its timing from SYNC_CLK. The I/O UPDATE signal

Synchronizing Multiple AD9953s
The AD9953 allows easy synchronization of multiple AD9953s.
There are three modes of synchronization available to the user:
an automatic synchronization mode, a software controlled
manual synchronization mode, and a hardware controlled
manual synchronization mode. In all cases, when a user wants
to synchronize two or more devices, the following considera-
tions must be observed. First, all units must share a common
clock source. Trace lengths and path impedance of the clock
tree must be designed to keep the phase delay of the different
clock branches as closely matched as possible. Second, the I/O
UPDATE signal’s rising edge must be provided synchronously
to all devices in the system. Finally, regardless of the internal
synchronization method used, the DVDD_I/O supply should
be set to 3.3 V for all devices that are to be synchronized.
AVDD and DVDD should be left at 1.8 V.
In hardware manual synchronization mode, the SYNC_IN
input pin is configured such that it will now advance the rising
edge of the SYNC_CLK signal each time the device detects a
rising edge on the SYNC_IN pin. To put the device into hard-
ware manual synchronization mode, set the hardware manual
synchronization bit (CFR2<10> = 1). Unlike the software
manual synchronization bit, this bit does not self clear. Once the
hardware manual synchronization mode is enabled, all rising
edges detected on the SYNC_IN input will cause the device to
advance the rising edge of the SYNC_CLK by one SYSCLK
cycle until this enable bit is cleared (CFR2<10> = 0).
Using a Single Crystal to Drive Multiple AD9953 Clock
Inputs
The AD9953 crystal oscillator output signal is available on the
CRYSTAL OUT pin, enabling one crystal to drive multiple
AD9953s. In order to drive multiple AD9953s with one crystal,
the CRYSTAL OUT pin of the AD9953 using the external crystal
should be connected to the REFCLK input of the other AD9953.
In automatic synchronization mode, one device is chosen as a
master; the other device(s) will be slaved to this master. When
configured in this mode, the slaves will automatically synchron-
ize their internal clocks to the SYNC_CLK output signal of the
master device. To enter automatic synchronization mode, set
the slave device’s automatic synchronization bit (CFR1<23> =
1). Connect the SYNC_IN input(s) to the master SYNC_CLK
output. The slave device will continuously update the phase
relationship of its SYNC_CLK until it is in phase with the
SYNC_IN input, which is the SYNC_CLK of the master device.
When attempting to synchronize devices running at SYSCLK
speeds beyond 250 MSPS, the high speed sync enhancement
enable bit should be set (CFR2<11> = 1).
The CRYSTAL OUT pin is static until the CFR2<9> bit is set,
enabling the output. The drive strength of the CRYSTAL OUT
pin is typically very low, so this signal should be buffered prior
to using it to drive any loads.
SERIAL PORT OPERATION
With the AD9953, the instruction byte specifies read/write
operation and the register address. Serial operations on the
AD9953 occur only at the register level, not the byte level. For
the AD9953, the serial port controller recognizes the instruc-
tion byte register address and automatically generates the
proper register byte address. In addition, the controller expects
that all bytes of that register will be accessed. It is required that
all bytes of a register be accessed during serial I/O operations,
with one exception. The IOSYNC function can be used to abort
an I/O operation, thereby allowing some, but not all bytes to be
accessed.
In software manual synchronization mode, the user forces the
device to advance the SYNC_CLK rising edge one SYSCLK
cycle (1/4 SYNC_CLK period). To activate the manual
synchronization mode, set the slave device’s software manual
synchronization bit (CFR1<22> = 1). The bit (CFR1<22>) will be
cleared immediately. To advance the rising edge of the SYNC_CLK
multiple times, this bit will need to be set multiple times.

AD9953
There are two phases to a communication cycle with the
AD9953. Phase 1 is the instruction cycle, which is the writing of
an instruction byte into the AD9953, coincident with the first
eight SCLK rising edges. The instruction byte provides the
AD9953 serial port controller with information regarding the
data transfer cycle, which is Phase 2 of the communication cycle.
The Phase 1 instruction byte defines whether the upcoming data
transfer is read or write and the serial address of the register
being accessed.
during Phase 2 of the communication cycle is a function of the
register being accessed. For example, when accessing the Control
Function Register No. 2, which is three bytes wide, Phase 2 requires
that three bytes be transferred. If accessing the frequency tuning
word, which is four bytes wide, Phase 2 requires that four bytes
be transferred. After transferring all data bytes per the
instruction, the communication cycle is completed.
At the completion of any communication cycle, the AD9953
serial port controller expects the next eight rising SCLK edges
to be the instruction byte of the next communication cycle. All
data input to the AD9953 is registered on the rising edge of
SCLK. All data is driven out of the AD9953 on the falling edge
of SCLK. Figure 23 through Figure 26 are useful in VOEFSTUBOE
ing the general operation of the AD9953 serial port.
The first eight SCLK rising edges of each communication cycle
are used to write the instruction byte into the AD9953. The
remaining SCLK edges are for Phase 2 of the communication
cycle. Phase 2 is the actual data transfer between the AD9953
and the system controller. The number of bytes transferred

written in the format indicated by Control Register 0x00 <8>. If
the AD9953 is in LSB first mode, the instruction byte must be
written from least significant bit to most significant bit.
R/ —Bit 7 of the instruction byte determines whether a read
or write data transfer will occur after the instruction byte write.
Logic High indicates read operation. Logic 0 indicates a write
operation.
For MSB first operation, the serial port controller will generate
the most significant byte (of the specified register) address first
followed by the next lesser significant byte addresses until the
I/O operation is complete. All data written to (read from) the
AD9953 must be (will be) in MSB first order. If the LSB mode is
active, the serial port controller will generate the least signifi-
cant byte address first followed by the next greater significant byte
addresses until the I/O operation is complete. All data written to
(read from) the AD9953 must be (will be) in LSB first order.
X, X—Bits 6 and 5 of the instruction byte are Don’t Care.
A4, A3, A2, A1, A0—Bits 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 of the instruction byte

SERIAL INTERFACE PORT PIN DESCRIPTION
SCLK—Serial Clock. The serial clock pin is used to synchronize
data to and from the AD9953 and to run the internal state
machines. SCLK maximum frequency is 25 MHz.
Example Operation
CSB—Chip Select Bar. CSB is active low input that allows more
than one device on the same serial communications line. The
SDO and SDIO pins will go to a high impedance state when this
input is high. If driven high during any communications cycle,
To write the amplitude scale factor register in MSB first format,
apply an instruction byte of 0x02 [serial address is 00010(b)].
From this instruction, the internal controller will know to use
the first byte as the most significant byte. The first two bits will
be recorded as the auto ramp rate speed control bits, and the
next six bits will be the most significant bits of the amplitude
scale factor. The second byte will be applied as the eight less
significant bits of the amplitude scale factor ASF<7:0>.
that cycle is suspended until
is reactivated low. Chip select
CS
can be tied low in systems that maintain control of SCLK.
SDIO—Serial Data I/O. Data is always written into the AD9953
on this pin. However, this pin can be used as a bidirectional
data line. Bit 9 of Register Address 0x00 controls the
configuration of this pin. The default is Logic 0, which
configures the SDIO pin as bidirectional.
To write the amplitude scale factor register in LSB first format,
assuming the control register has already been set for LSB first
format, apply an instruction byte of 0x40. From this instruction,
the internal controller will know to use the first byte as the least
significant byte of the amplitude scale factor ASF<0:7>. The
second byte will be split into the first six bits ASF<8:13> and the
last two will provide the auto ramp rate speed control bits
ARRSC<0:1>.
SDO—Serial Data Out. Data is read from this pin for protocols
that use separate lines for transmitting and receiving data. In the
case where the AD9953 operates in a single bidirectional I/O mode,
this pin does not output data and is set to a high impedance state.
IOSYNC—It synchronizes the I/O port state machines without
affecting the addressable register’s contents. An active high
input on the IOSYNC pin causes the current communication
cycle to abort. After IOSYNC returns low (Logic 0), another
communication cycle may begin, starting with the instruction
byte write.
Power-Down Functions of the AD9953
The AD9953 supports an externally controlled or hardware
power-down feature as well as the more common software
programmable power-down bits found in previous ADI DDS
products.
The software control power-down allows the DAC, PLL, input
clock circuitry, and digital logic to be individually powered
down via unique control bits (CFR1<7:4>). With the exception
of CFR1<6>, these bits are not active when the externally
controlled power-down pin (PWRDWNCTL) is high. External
power-down control is supported on the AD9953 via the
PWRDWNCTL input pin. When the PWRDWNCTL input pin
is high, the AD9953 will enter a power-down mode based on
the CFR1<3> bit. When the PWRDWNCTL input pin is low,
the external power-down control is inactive.
MSB/LSB TRANSFERS
The AD9953 serial port can support both most significant bit
(MSB) first or least significant bit (LSB) first data formats. This
functionality is controlled by the Control Register 0x00 <8> bit.
The default value of Control Register 0x00 <8> is low (MSB
first). When Control Register 0x00 <8> is set high, the AD9953
serial port is in LSB first format. The instruction byte must be
Rev. A | Page 27 of 32
AD9953
When the CFR1<3> bit is 0 and the PWRDWNCTL input pin is
high, the AD9953 is put into a fast recovery power-down mode.
In this mode, the digital logic and the DAC digital logic are
powered down. The DAC bias circuitry, PLL, oscillator, and
clock input circuitry is not powered down.
the digital clock generation section of the chip for the external
power-down operation.
Layout Considerations
For the best performance, the following layout guidelines
should be observed. Always provide the analog power supply
(AVDD) and the digital power supply (DVDD) on separate
supplies, even if just from two different voltage regulators
driven by a common supply. Likewise, the ground connections
(AGND, DGND) should be kept separate as far back to the
source as possible (i.e., separate the ground planes on a
localized board even if the grounds connect to a common point
in the system). Bypass capacitors should be placed as close to
the device pin as possible. Usually a multitiered bypassing
scheme consisting of a small high frequency capacitor (100 pF)
placed close to the supply pin and progressively larger capaci-
tors (0.1 μF, 10 μF) placed further away from the actual supply
source works best.
When the CFR1<3> bit is high, and the PWRDWNCTL input
pin is high, the AD9953 is put into the full power-down mode.
In this mode, all functions are powered down. This includes the
DAC and PLL, which take a significant amount of time to
power up.
When the PWRDWNCTL input pin is high, the individual
power-down bits (CFR1<7>, <5:4>) are invalid (Don’t Care)
and unused. When the PWRDWNCTL input pin is low, the
individual power-down bits control the power-down modes of
operation.
Note that the power-down signals are all designed such that a
Logic 1 indicates the low power mode and a Logic 0 indicates
the active or power-up mode.
Table 10 indicates the logic level for each power-down bit that
drives out of the AD9953 core logic to the analog section and
