CLOCKING THE AD7764
The AD7764 requires an external low jitter clock source. This
signal is applied to the MCLK pin. An internal clock signal
(ICLK) is derived from the MCLK input signal. The ICLK
controls the internal operation of the AD7764. The maximum
ICLK frequency is 20 MHz. To generate the ICLK,
ICLK = MCLK/2
For output data rates equal to those used in audio systems, a
12.288 MHz ICLK frequency can be used. As shown in Table 6,
output data rates of 96 kHz and 48 kHz are achievable with this
ICLK frequency.
MCLK JITTER REQUIREMENTS

This is the maximum allowable clock jitter for a full-scale,

data rate.

The input amplitude also has an effect on these jitter figures.
For example, if the input level is 3 dB below full scale, the allow-
able jitter is increased by a factor of √2, increasing the first
example to 144.65 ps rms. This happens when the maximum
slew rate is decreased by a reduction in amplitude.
Figure 49 and Figure 50 illustrate this point, showing the
maximum slew rate of a sine wave of the same frequency but
with different amplitudes.
