APPLICATIONS
USING THE AD9515 OUTPUTS FOR ADC CLOCK
APPLICATIONS
Any high speed, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is extremely
sensitive to the quality of the sampling clock provided by the
user. An ADC can be thought of as a sampling mixer, and any
noise, distortion, or timing jitter on the clock is combined with
the desired signal at the A/D output. Clock integrity require-
ments scale with the analog input frequency and resolution,
with higher analog input frequency applications at ≥14-bit
resolution being the most stringent. The theoretical SNR of an
ADC is limited by the ADC resolution and the jitter on the
sampling clock. Considering an ideal ADC of infinite resolution
where the step size and quantization error can be ignored, the
available SNR can be expressed approximately by
where f is the highest analog frequency being digitized.

Figure 35 shows the required sampling clock jitter as a function
of the analog frequency and effective number of bits (ENOB).

Many high performance ADCs feature differential clock inputs
to simplify the task of providing the required low jitter clock on
a noisy PCB. (Distributing a single-ended clock on a noisy PCB
can result in coupled noise on the sample clock. Differential
distribution has inherent common-mode rejection that can
provide superior clock performance in a noisy environment.)
The AD9515 features both LVPECL and LVDS outputs that
provide differential clock outputs, which enable clock solutions
that maximize converter SNR performance. The input
requirements of the ADC (differential or single-ended, logic
level, termination) should be considered when selecting the best
clocking/converter solution.
LVPECL CLOCK DISTRIBUTION
The low voltage, positive emitter-coupled, logic (LVPECL)
outputs of the AD9515 provide the lowest jitter clock signals
available from the AD9515. The LVPECL outputs (because they
are open emitter) require a dc termination to bias the output
transistors. The simplified equivalent circuit in Figure 31 shows
the LVPECL output stage.
In most applications, a standard LVPECL far-end termination is
recommended, as shown in Figure 36. The resistor network is
designed to match the transmission line impedance (50 Ω) and
the switching threshold (V
