AD9266-20Mhz. clock input. Data output. 2 questions...

Dear all,

I'm designing circuit with AD9626 as 16Mhz sampling clock.

And I have questions following.

1. From data sheet, on figure2 Data output is using interleaving.

    Odd 8 bits on falling edge of DCO, Even 8bits on rising edge of DCO.

     Is it correct? But in page 23, there is represented "the CMOS data outputs are

     valid on the rising edge of DCO."

      What is correct sentence?

2. In "Clock input considerations", there are describing ac coupled clock input.

   

   But I will supply LVCMOS single-ended clock from CPLD.

    I think  16Mhz low speed clock doesn't need consideration of jitter.

    Thus I can supply normal 1.8V CMOS single-ended dc-coupled clock to ADC.

    Is it correct?

     Really, I can't understand figure 45 clock input circuit.

Thank you.

  • Dear Jackey,

    I apologize for the delayed response. Our notification system is having continued problems.

    Regarding your questions:
    1. I see your point. The timing diagram is correct. I'm sorry about the misleading wording on page 23.

    2. You can supply a 1.8V CMOS single ended clock but it should be AC coupled as shown in Figure 50 of the datasheet. The clock pins are internally biased, so DC coupling could create a conflict between the DC level of the driver and the biasing of the clock pin. AC coupling the clock is the best way.

    Again, I'm sorry about the late reply.

    Please take care.
