the specification table. In this case the DS hold time specifica-
tion on the rising edge can be ignored.
Applications that will continuously update the synchronization
command need to treat the DS signal as a pulse and satisfy
timing requirements on both rising and falling edges. It is easiest
to consider the DS signal in this case to be a pulse train at one
half the encode rate, the positive pulse nominally bracketing the
ENCODE falling edge on alternate cycles as shown in the tim-
ing diagram (Figure 2). T he falling/rising edge of DS has to
satisfy a minimum setup time (T
SDS
) before the rising/falling
edge of ENCODE; similarly, the rising/falling edge of DS has to
satisfy a minimum hold time (T
HDS
) relative to the rising/falling
edge of ENCODE. DS can fall a minimum of T
HDS
after
ENCODE falls and a maximum of T
SDS
before the next
ENCODE rises. DS can rise a minimum of T
HDS
after
ENCODE rises and a maximum of T
SDS
before ENCODE
falls. T his timing requirement produces a tight timing window
at higher encode rates. Synchronization by a single reset edge
results in a simpler timing solution in many applications. For
example, synchronization may be provided at the beginning of
each graphics line or frame.
T he data are presented at the output of the AD9054 in a ping-
pong (alternating) fashion to optimize the performance of the
converter. It may be aligned for presentation as sixteen bits in
parallel by adding a register stage to the output.
In Dual Channel Mode, the converted data is produced five
clock cycles after the rising edge of ENCODE on which the
sample is taken (five pipeline delays).

Figure 36. Dual Port Mode—Aligned Output Data
In Figure 36, the converter is operating in Dual Port Mode,
with data coming alternately out of Port A and Port B. T he
figure illustrates how the output data may be aligned with an
output latch to produce a 16-bit output at 1/2 the conversion
clock rate. T he Data Sync input must be properly exercised to
time the A Port with the synchronizing latch.
