How to connect sysref to AD9528

Category: Hardware
Product Number: AD9083

Hello

I have connected AD9083 sysref input to AD9528 out, similar to the evb example PCB (AD9083EBZ).

Now, I found engineer_Note_AD9083 SYSREF interface with LVDS, that suggest different connectivity with level shift circuit. 

And the EN also suggest writing to 0xD4C (sysref termination) which is not in the datasheet. 

Currently my FPGA recognize the sysref signal but the AD9083 not (reading 0x27E[3:1] return 0). 

Is it because of the level shifter? my device reference clock is 200MHz. 

Thanks

  • Hi  ,

    Thank you for reaching out.

    The EVB sysref connection is the typical example of AC coupling scheme for sysref, however if you are planning to use n-shot or periodic sysref we recommend to use what was stated in the engineering note using LVDS to sysref common mode level shift and disable the internal sysref termination with register address 0xD4C (this will be included in the next datasheet revision).

    As for 0x27E readout i may need to get back to you as i need to check this out further.
