Any system that requires a feedback loop for digital capture or automatic process control is sensitive to latency variations. Latency variation affects the phase and gain margins and stability of a closed-loop control system. The presence of the delay potentially decreases stability and degrades the quality of control due to unavoidable gain reduction.
The JESD204B interface addresses these requirements and how to establish the deterministic latency of the link between a logic device and multiple data converters. Establishing this link is possible by using subclass 1 or 2. Depending on the subclasses, JESD uses SYSREF or the SYNC timing signal as a reference.
The ADC12DJ3200 device has a JESD204B interface feature that uses the DEV CLK and SYSREF signal to achieve multichannel synchronization and deterministic latency.
The subclass 1 requirements are as follows:
The TIDA-01022 reference design addresses these requirements for achieving deterministic latency and a minimum channel-to-channel skew. See the following resource for more details: JESD204B Deterministic Latency.
