AD9512
DIVIDERS
Example 2:
Each of the five clock outputs of the AD9512 has its own
divider. The divider can be bypassed to get an output at the
same frequency as the input (1×). When a divider is bypassed, it
is powered down to save power.
Set Divide Ratio = 8
high_cycles = 3
low_cycles = 3
All integer divide ratios from 1 to 32 may be selected. A divide
ratio of 1 is selected by bypassing the divider.
Divide Ratio = (3 + 1) + (3 + 1) = 8
Note that a Divide Ratio of 8 may also be obtained by setting:
high_cycles = 2
Each divider can be configured for divide ratio, phase, and duty
cycle. The phase and duty cycle values that can be selected
depend on the divide ratio that is chosen.
low_cycles = 4
Setting the Divide Ratio
The divide ratio is determined by the values written via the SCP
to the registers that control each individual output, OUT0 to
OUT4. These are the even numbered registers beginning at 4Ah
and going through 52h. Each of these registers is divided into
bits that control the number of clock cycles the divider output
stays high (high_cycles <3:0>) and the number of clock cycles
the divider output stays low (low_cycles <7:4>). Each value is 4
bits and has the range of 0 to 15.
Divide Ratio = (2 + 1) + (4 + 1) = 8
Although the second set of settings produces the same divide
ratio, the resulting duty cycle is not the same.
Setting the Duty Cycle
The duty cycle and the divide ratio are related. Different divide
ratios have different duty cycle options. For example, if Divide
Ratio = 2, the only duty cycle possible is 50ꢀ. If the Divide
Ratio = 4, the duty cycle can be 25ꢀ, 50ꢀ, or 75ꢀ.
The divide ratio is set by
Divide Ratio = (high_cycles + 1) + (low_cycles + 1)
Example 1:
The duty cycle is set by
Duty Cycle = (high_cycles + 1)/[(high_cycles + 1) + (low_cycles + 1)]
See Table 12 for the values of the available duty cycles for each
divide ratio.
Set the Divide Ratio = 2
high_cycles = 0
low_cycles = 0
Divide Ratio = (0 + 1) + (0 + 1) = 2
