GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9854 digital synthesizer is a highly integrated device that
uses advanced DDS technology, coupled with (2) internal high-
speed, high performance quadrature D/A converters and
comparator to form a digitally-programmable I & Q synthesizer
function. When referenced to an accurate clock source, the
AD9854 generates a highly stable, frequency, phase and
amplitude programmable sine and cosine outputs that can be used
as an agile L.O. in communications, radar, and many other
applications. The AD9854's innovative high-speed DDS core
provides 48-bit frequency resolution (1 microHertz tuning steps).
Phase truncation to 17-bits assures excellent digital SFDR. The
AD9854's circuit architecture allows the generation of
simultaneous quadrature outputs at frequencies up to 150 MHz,
which can be digitally tuned at a rate of up to 100 million new
frequencies per second. The (externally filtered) sine wave output
can be converted to a square wave by the internal comparator for
agile clock generator applications. The device provides 14-bits of
digitally-controlled phase modulation and single-pin PSK. The
on-board 12-bit I & Q DACs, coupled with the innovative DDS
architecture, provide excellent wideband and narrowband output
SFDR. The Q-DAC can also be configured as a user-
programmable control DAC if the quadrature function is not
desired. When configured with the on-board comparator, the 12-
bit control DAC facilitates pulse-width modulation (PWM) and
static duty cycle control, in the high-speed clock generator
application. Two 12-bit digital multipliers permit programmable
amplitude modulation, shaped on-off keying and precise amp-
litude control of the quadrature outputs. The AD9854’

REFCLK Multiplier circuit generates the
300 MHz clock internally from a lower frequency external
reference clock. This saves the user the expense and difficulty of
implementing a 300 MHz clock source. Direct 300 MHz clocking
is also accommodated with either single-ended or differential
inputs. Single-pin conventional FSK and the enhanced spectral
qualities of “amped”FSK are supported. The AD9854 uses
advanced .35 micron CMOS technology to provide this high level
of functionality on a single +3.3 V supply.
The AD9854 is available in a space-saving 80-pin QFP surface
mount package. The AD9854 is pin-for-pin compatible with the
AD9852 single-tone synthesizer. It is specified to operate over
the extended industrial temperature range of -40°to +85°C.
