Abstract:
The AD9951 is a direct digital synthesizer (DDS) featuring a 14-bit DAC operating up to 400 MSPS. The AD9951 uses advanced DDS technology, coupled with an internal high speed, high performance DAC to form a digitally programmable, complete high frequency synthesizer capable of generating a frequency-agile analog output sinusoidal waveform at up to 200 MHz. The AD9951 is designed to provide fast frequency hopping and fine tuning resolution (32-bit frequency tuning word). The frequency tuning and control words are loaded into the AD9951 via a serial I/O port. The AD9951 is specified to operate over the extended industrial temperature range of –40°C to +105°C. Synchronizing Multiple AD9951s , The AD9951 product allows easy synchronization of multiple AD9951s. There are three modes of synchronization available to the user: an automatic synchronization mode, a software controlled manual synchronization mode, and a hardware controlled manual synchronization mode. Applications, Agile LO frequency synthesis, Programmable clock generators, Test and measurement equipment ,Acousto-optic device drivers. The AD9951 supports various clock methodologies. Support for differential or single-ended input clocks and enabling of an on-chip oscillator and/or a phase-locked loop (PLL) multiplier are all controlled via user programmable bits.
Key words: automatic synchronization mode software controlled manual synchronization mode a hardware controlled manual synchronization mode
