and default locations of the high speed clock signals.
H-Driver and RG Outputs
In addition to the programmable timing positions, the AD9891/
AD9895 features on-chip output drivers for the RG and H1–H4
outputs. These drivers are powerful enough to directly drive the
CCD inputs. The H-driver current can be adjusted for optimum
rise/fall time into a particular load by using the DRV Registers
(Addr x0E1 to x0E4). The RG drive current is adjustable using
the RGDRV Register (Addr x0E8). Each 3-bit DRV Register is
adjustable in 3.5 mA increments, with the minimum setting of 0
equal to OFF or three-state, and the maximum setting of 7
equal to 24.5 mA.
As shown in Figure 11, the H2 and H4 outputs are inverses of
H1 and H3, respectively. The internal propagation delay resulting
from the signal inversion is less than 1 ns, which is significantly
less than the typical rise time driving the CCD load. This results
in an H1/H2 crossover voltage at approximately 50% of the out-
put swing. The crossover voltage is not programmable.
Digital Data Outputs
The AD9891/AD9895 data output and DCLK phase are pro-
grammable using the DOUTPHASE Register (Addr x01D). Any
edge from 0 to 47 may be programmed, as shown in Figure 12.
Normally, the DOUT and DCLK signals will track in phase,
based on the DOUTPHASE Register contents. The DCLK
output phase can also be held fixed with respect to the data
outputs, by changing the DCLKMODE Register (Addr x01E)
HIGH. In this mode, the DCLK output will remain at a fixed
phase equal to CLO (the inverse of CLI) while the data output
phase is still programmable.
There is a fixed output delay from the DCLK rising edge to the
DOUT transition, called tOD. This delay can be programmed to
four values between 0 ns and 12 ns, using the DOUT_DELAY
Register (Addr x032). The default value is 8 ns.
