LTC2259-16
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Phase-Shifting the Output Clock
In full-rate CMOS mode the data output bits normally
change at the same time as the falling edge of CLKOUT+,
so the rising edge of CLKOUT+ can be used to latch the
output data. In double-data rate CMOS and LVDS modes
the data output bits normally change at the same time as
the falling and rising edges of CLKOUT+. To allow adequate
setup-and-hold time when latching the data, the CLKOUT+
signal may need to be phase shifted relative to the data
output bits. Most FPGAs have this feature; this is generally
the best place to adjust the timing.
The LTC2259-16 can also phase shift the CLKOUT+/CLK-
OUT– signals by serially programming mode control
register A2. The output clock can be shifted by 0°, 45°,
90° or 135°. To use the phase shifting feature the clock
duty cycle stabilizer must be turned on. Another con-
trol register bit can invert the polarity of CLKOUT+ and
CLKOUT–, independently of the phase shift. The combina-
tion of these two features enables phase shifts of 45° up
to 315° (Figure 14).
DATA FORMAT
Table 1 shows the relationship between the analog input
voltage and the digital data output bits. By default the
output data format is offset binary. The 2’s complement
format can be selected by serially programming mode
control register A4. Note that when the analog input is
outside the normal operating range the two LSBs (D1,
D0) can change and should be ignored.
