AD9851 180 MHz Complete DDS synthesizer

The AD9851 is a highly integrated device that uses advanced DDS technology, coupled with an internal high-speed, high performance D/A converter, and comparator, to form a digitally-programmable frequency synthesizer and clock generator function. When referenced to an accurate clock source, the AD9851 generates a stable frequency and phase-programmable digitized analog output sinewave. This sinewave can be used directly as a frequency source, or internally converted to a square wave for agile-clock generator applications.

The AD9851's innovative high-speed DDS core provides a 32-bit frequency tuning word, which results in an output tuning resolution of 40 milli-Hertz, for a 180 MHz reference clock. The AD9851 contains a unique X6 reference clock multiplier circuit that obviates the need for a high-speed reference oscillator. The 6X PLL multiplier has minimal impact on SFDR and phase noise characteristics. The device provides 5-bits of digitally-controlled phase modulation which enables phase shifting of its output in increments of 180°, 90°, 45°, 22.5°, 11.25°, and any combination thereof.
