MULTIPLE DEVICE SYNCHRONIZATION

Synchronization of multiple AD9739devices requires all of the

devices to have matching pipeline delays. This implies the DAC

outputs are time aligned to the same phase when all devices are

fed with the same data pattern at the same instance of time. The

main contributor to phase ambiguity between devices is from

the divide-by-4 circuitry that drives the Rx data path and data

controller (see Figure 53). This phase ambiguity can result in a

±2 sample offset between any two devices. Because the state of

this internal divider is unknown at power-up, a synchronization

method that phase aligns the digital paths of multiple AD9739

devices is required to ensure matching pipeline delays.

Figure 52 shows a top-level diagram of multiple AD9739

devices synchronized to each other with sample alignment of

the different data streams within the FPGA (or among multiple

FPGAs) being assumed. A common RF clock source is

distributed to each of the AD9739 devices via a dual clock

buffer (such as the ADCLK946) with matched PCB trace

lengths to each device to ensure matched propagation delays.

One AD9739 is designated as the master providing a SYNC_OUT

reference clock (equal to fDAC/4) to itself as well as the other

AD9739 slave device’s SYNC_IN input. LVDS fanout buffers with

matched output delays are again used to distribute the SYNC_OUT

and DCO signals of the master to the slave devices and FPGAs,

respectively, thus ensuring tight time alignment. Note, in the

case of a single FPGA implementation (that is, I/Q application),

the DCO of the master can drive the FPGA directly.

After synchronization, the internal divide-by-4 circuitry has

equal phases that drive their respective LVDS controllers. Note,

the mu and data receiver controller of both devices must be

configured for the same SPI register settings (that is, SET_PHS

and DCI_DEL) upon SPI initialization such that controllers

converge to similar delays. To validate that delays are roughly

matched, the user can read back the delays of both devices (that is,

MUDEL and DCI_DEL) to determine if they are in an acceptable

window that accounts for slight mismatches between different

devices’ delay lines.
