•FIFO: allows the configuration of the FIFO and FIFO sync sources.

•LVDS delay: provides internal delay of either the LVDS DATA or LVDS DATACLK to help meet the input setup/hold time.

•Data Routing: provides flexible routing of the A, B, C, and D sample input data to the appropriate digital path.

Note: the DAC3482 does not support this mode

•SIF Control: provides control of the Serial Interface (3-wires or 4-wires) and Serial Interface Sync (SIF Sync).

•Input Format: provides control of the input data format (i.e., 2’s complement or offset binary).

•Parity: provides configuration of the parity input.

•PLL Settings: provides configuration of the on-chip PLL circuitry.

•Temperature Sensor: provides temperature monitoring of DAC3484/2 die temperature.

2.2.1.1LVDS Delay Settings

The TSW3100 pattern generator sends out LVDS DATA and DATACLK as edge-aligned signal. The following options can be implemented to meet the minimum setup and hold time of DAC348x data latching:

•Set the on-chip LVDS DATACLOCK delay. Typical setting of 160ps or more will help meet the timing requirement for most of the TSW3100 + DAC348x EVM setup. This LVDS DATACLOCK delay does not account for additional PCB trace-to-trace delay variation, only the internal DATACLK delay.

•Modify the external LVDS DATACLK PCB trace delay: Additional trace length on the bottom side of the PCB can be added to the LVDS DATACLK PCB trace length. Set SJP9, SJP10, SJP11, and SJP12 to 2-3 position for approximately 220ps of trace delay.

2.2.1.2PLL Settings

Figure 3. PLL Configuration

Follow the steps below to configure the PLL.

•Enable PLL

•Uncheck PLL reset and PLL sleep

•Set M and N ratio such that FDAC = (M)/(N)×Fref

•Set the prescaler such that the FDAC×prescaler is within 3.3GHz and 4.0GHz

•Set VCO Bias Tune to “1”

•Charge Pump setting

–If stability (P×M) is less than 120, then set to “Single

–If stability (P×M) is greater than 120, then set to “Double” or install external loop filter

•Adjust the Freq. Tune (coarse tune) accordingly.
