Understanding Dual Edge Sampling Modes

Dual edge sampling modes (DES2XL/H) outputs unique samples on both the rising and falling edge of CLK, doubling the sample rate for the same clock frequency compared to NRZ, RTZ or RF modes. DES2XL/H modes generate the falling edge samples by digital interpolation. The 2x DES interpolator has an 80% passband bandwidth, 55dB stopband attenuation and can be configured as low pass or high pass (The response is shown in Figure 8-1). The DES interpolator is lowpass in DES2XL mode, passing the signal below 0.4*FCLK and removing the image above 0.6*FCLK. IN DES2XH mode signals above 0.6*FCLK are passed and the image below 0.4*FCLK is removed. In the transition band between 0.4*FCLK and 0.6*FCLK, the passband is attenuated by up to 6dB and the image attenuation is significantly reduce.

A non-50% CLK duty cycle results in an image of the signal at FCLK - FOUT. The amplitude of the image in DES2XL/H modes compared to NRZ/RF modes is shown in Figure 8-2. DES2XL provides 30+dB suppression over NRZ mode and DES2XH 20 to 30 B suppression over RF mode. This reduces the analog filtering required after the DAC to remove the unwanted images.

Figure 8-2 DES2XL/H Image compare to NRZ and RF Modes

The input clock frequency and input data rate is the same for NRZ, RF, RTZ, DES2XL and DES2XH modes - only the output waveform generated by the DAC is changed (See Section 7.3.1). Changing between modes only requires a different setting of the MXMODE register.

Figure 8-3 shows a comparison of DES2XL and NRZ mode for a fullscale tone at 3497MHz with 10GSPS clock frequency. In addition to the reduction of the image at FCLK - FOUT = 6743MHz, DES2XL mode can also suppress harmonics that in NRZ mode fold back below FCLK/2. In the plot, HD2 has an image at 3006MHz that is -65dBc in NRZ mode and -80dBc in DES2XL mode. Likewise, the HD3 image at 491MHz improves from -70dBc in NRZ mode to better than -90dBc in DES2XL mode. SFDR between 0 and FCLK/2 is limited by HD2 and therefore improves from 65 to 80dBc. Note that the non-linearity specifications for DES2XL mode in Section 6 are measured between 0 to FCLK/2 (as is NRZ mode), and for DES2XH mode between FCLK/2 and FCLK.

RF and DES2XH mode behave similarly. Figure 8-4 shows a tone at 7997MHz with 10GHz clock in RF and DES2XH modes. HD2 and HD3 have folded frequencies around 6GHz in NRZ mode, these are suppressed > 10dB in DES2XH mode.

One additional benefit of DES2XL compared to NRZ mode is an improvement in additive phase noise of approximately 6dB in the 1/f region of the offset frequency (see Figure 8-5). This is due to DES2XL using both the rising and falling edges of the clock, which cancels some common mode noise in the clock path. Since RF mode also uses the falling edge to generate the inverse sample, there is no significant difference between RF mode and DES2XH mode.

There are 3 small disadvantages of DES2XL and DES2XH modes to be aware of:

  1. the attenuation of the signal in the transition band of the DES interpolation filter between 0.4*FCLK and 0.6*FCLK
  2. An increased latency of 97 clock cycles. or 9.7ns with a 10GHz clock, due to the DES interpolation filter
  3. An increase in power of 250mW with a 10GHz clock, due to the DES interpolation filter
