AD9627
Rev. B | Page 30 of 76
In some applications, it may be acceptable to drive the sample
clock inputs with a single-ended CMOS signal. In such applica-
tions, the CLK+ pin should be driven directly from a CMOS gate,
and the CLK pin should be bypassed to ground with a 0.1 μF
CLK+ can be driven directly from a CMOS gate. Although the
CLK+ input circuit supply is AVDD (1.8 V), this input is designed
to withstand input voltages of up to 3.6 V, making the selection
of the drive logic voltage very flexible.

Input Clock Divider
The AD9627 contains an input clock divider with the ability to
divide the input clock by integer values between 1 and 8. If a
divide ratio other than 1 is selected, the duty cycle stabilizer is
automatically enabled.
The AD9627 clock divider can be synchronized using the external
SYNC input. Bit 1 and Bit 2 of Register 0x100 allow the clock
divider to be resynchronized on every SYNC signal or only on
the first SYNC signal after the register is written. A valid SYNC
causes the clock divider to reset to its initial state. This synchro-
nization feature allows multiple parts to have their clock dividers
aligned to guarantee simultaneous input sampling.
Clock Duty Cycle
Typical high speed ADCs use both clock edges to generate
a variety of internal timing signals and, as a result, may be
sensitive to clock duty cycle. Commonly, a ±5% tolerance is
required on the clock duty cycle to maintain dynamic
performance characteristics.
The AD9627 contains a duty cycle stabilizer (DCS) that retimes
the nonsampling (falling) edge, providing an internal clock
signal with a nominal 50% duty cycle. This allows the user to
provide a wide range of clock input duty cycles without affecting
the performance of the AD9627. Noise and distortion performance
are nearly flat for a wide range of duty cycles with the DCS on,
Jitter in the rising edge of the input is still of paramount concern
and is not easily reduced by the internal stabilization circuit.
The duty cycle control loop does not function for clock rates
less than 20 MHz nominally. The loop has a time constant
associated with it thatmust be considered where the clock rate
can change dynamically. A wait time of 1.5 μs to 5 μs is required
after a dynamic clock frequency increase or decrease before the
DCS loop is relocked to the input signal. During the time period
that the loop is not locked, the DCS loop is bypassed, and internal
device timing is dependent on the duty cycle of the input clock
signal. In such applications, it may be appropriate to disable the
duty cycle stabilizer. In all other applications, enabling the DCS
circuit is recommended to maximize ac performance.
Jitter Considerations
High speed, high resolution ADCs are sensitive to the quality
of the clock input. The degradation in SNR from the low
frequency SNR (SNRLF) at a given input frequency (fINPUT) due
to jitter (tJRMS) can be calculated by
SNRHF = 10 log[(2π × fINPUT × tJRMS)2 + 10

The clock input should be treated as an analog signal in cases
where aperture jitter may affect the dynamic range of the AD9627.
Power supplies for clock drivers should be separated from the
ADC output driver supplies to avoid modulating the clock
signal with digital noise. Low jitter, crystal-controlled oscillators
make the best clock sources. If the clock is generated from another
type of source (by gating, dividing, or another method), it should
be retimed by the original clock at the last step.
