AD6636

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The AD6636 is a digital down-converter intended for IF sampling or oversampled baseband radios requiring widebandwidth input signals. Optimized for the demanding filtering requirements of wideband standards, such as CDMA2000, UMTS, and TD-SCDMA, the AD6636 is designed for radio systems that use either an IF sampling ADC or a baseband sampling ADC.

The AD6636 channels have the following signal processing stages: a frequency translator, a fifth-order cascaded integrated comb filter, two sets of cascaded fixed-coefficient FIR and halfband filters, three cascaded programmable coefficient sum-ofproduct FIR filters, an interpolating half-band filter (IHB), and a digital automatic gain control (AGC) block. Multiple modes are supported for clocking data into and out of the chip and provide flexibility for interfacing to a wide variety of digitizers. Programming and control are accomplished via serial or microport interfaces.

Input ports can take input data at up to 150 MSPS. Up to 300 MSPS input data can be supported using two input ports (some external interface logic is required) and two internal channels processing in tandem. Biphase filtering in output data router is selected to complete the combined filtering mode. The four input ports can operate in CMOS mode, or two ports can be combined for LVDS input mode. The maximum input data rate for each input port is 150 MHz.

Frequency translation is accomplished with a 32-bit complex numerically controlled oscillator (NCO). It has greater than 110 dBc SDFR. This stage translates either a real or complex input signal from IF (intermediate frequency) to a baseband complex digital output. Phase and amplitude dither can be enabled on-chip to improve spurious performance of the NCO. A 16-bit phase-offset word is available to create a known phase relationship between multiple AD6636 chips or channels. The NCO also can be bypassed so that baseband I and Q inputs can be provided directly from baseband sampling ADC through input ports.

Following frequency translation is a fifth-order CIC filter with a programmable decimation between 1 and 32. This filter is used to lower the sample rate efficiently, while providing sufficient alias rejection at frequencies with higher frequency offsets from the signal of interest.

Following the CIC5 are two sets of filters. Each set has a nondecimating FIR filter and a decimate-by-2 half-band filter. The FIR1 filter provides about 30 dB of rejection, while the HB1 filter provides about 77 dB of rejection. They can be used together to achieve a 107 dB stopband alias rejection, or they can be individually bypassed to save power. The FIR2 filter provides about 30 dB of rejection, while the HB2 filter provides about 65 dB of rejection. The filters can be used either together

to achieve more than 95 dB stopband alias rejection, or can be individually bypassed to save power. FIR1 and HB1 filters can run with a maximum input rate of 150 MSPS. In contrast, FIR2 and HB2 can run with a maximum input rate of 75 MSPS (input rate to FIR2 and HB2 filters).

The programmable filtering is divided into three cascaded RAM coefficient filters (RCFs) for flexible and power efficient filtering. The first filter in the cascade is the MRCF, consisting of a programmable nondecimating FIR. It is followed by programmable FIR filters (DRCF) with decimation from 1 to 16. They can be used either together to provide high rejection filters, or independently to save power. The maximum input rate to the MRCF is one-fourth of PLL clock rate.

The CRCF (Channel RCF) is the last programmable FIR filter with programmable decimation from 1 to 16. It typically is used to meet the spectral mask requirements for the air standard of interest. This could be an RRC, anti-aliasing filter or any other real data filter. Decimation in preceding blocks is used to keep the input rate of this stage as low as possible for the best filter performance.

The last filter stage in the chain is an interpolate-by-2 half-band filter, which is used to up-sample the CRCF output to produce higher output oversampling. Signal rejection requirements for this stage are relaxed because preceding filters already have filtered the blockers and adjacent carriers.

Each input port of the AD6636 has its own clock used for latching onto the input data, but Input Port A clock (CLKA) is used also as the input for an on-board PLL clock multiplier. The output of the PLL clock is used for processing all filters and processing blocks beyond the data router following CIC filter. The PLL clock can be programmed to have a maximum clock rate of 200 MHz.

A data routing block (DR) is used to distribute data from the CICs to the various channel filters. This block allows multiple back end filter chains to work together to process high bandwidth signals or to make even sharper filter transitions than a single channel can perform. It also can allow complex filtering operations to be achieved in the programmable filters.

The digital AGC provides the user with scaled digital outputs based on the rms level of the signal present at the output of the digital filters. The user can set the requested level and time constant of the AGC loop for optimum performance of the postprocessor. This is a critical function in the base station for CDMA applications where the power level must be well controlled going into the RAKE receivers. It has programmable clipping and rounding control to provide different output resolutions.

AD6636

The overall filter response for the AD6636 is the composite of all the combined filter stages. Each successive filter stage is capable of narrower transition bandwidths, but requires a greater number of CLK cycles to calculate the output. More decimation in the first filter stage minimizes overall power consumption. Data from the device is interfaced to a DSP/FPGA/baseband processor via either high speed parallel ports (preferred) or a DSP-compatible microprocessor interface.

The AD6636 is available both in 4-channel and 6-channel versions. The data sheet primarily discusses the 6-channel part. The only difference between the 6-channel and 4-channel devices is that on the 4-channel version, Channels 4 and 5 are not available (see Figure 1). The 4-channel device still has the same input ports, output ports, and memory map. The memory map section for Channels 4 and 5 can be programmed and read back, but it serves no purpose.

AD6636

THEORY OF OPERATION

ADC INPUT PORT

The AD6636 features four identical, independent high speed ADC input ports named A, B, C, and D. These input ports have the flexibility to allow independent inputs, diversity inputs, or complex I/Q inputs. Any of the ADC input ports can be routed to any of the six tuner channels; that is, any of the six AD6636 channels can receive input data from any of the input ports. Time-multiplexed inputs on a single port are not supported in the AD6636.

These four input ports can operate at up to 150 MSPS. Each input port has its own clock (CLKA, CLKB, CLKC, and CLKD) used for registering input data into the AD6636. To allow slow input rates while providing fast processing clock rates, the AD6636 contains an internal PLL clock multiplier that supplies the internal signal processing clock. CLKA is used as an input to the PLL clock multiplier. Additional programmability allows the input data to be clocked into the part either on the rising edge or the falling edge of the input clock.

The 3-exponent bits are shared with the gain range control bits in the hardware. When floating-point ADCs are not used, these three pins on each ADC input port can be used as gain range control output bits.

Input Timing

The data from each high speed input port is latched either on the rising edge or the falling edge of the port’s individual CLKx (where x stands for A, B, C, or D input ports). The ADC clock invert bit in ADC clock control register selects the edge of the clock (rising or falling) used to register input data into the AD6636.

DATA n DATA n + 1

In addition, the front end of the AD6636 contains circuitry that enables high speed signal-level detection, gain control, and quadrature I/Q correction. This is accomplished with a unique high speed level-detection circuit that offers minimal latency and maximum flexibility to control all four input signals (typically ADC inputs) individually. The input ports also provide input power-monitoring functions via various modes, and magnitude and phase I/Q correction blocks. See the Quadrature I/Q Correction Block section for details.

Each individual processing channel can receive input data from any of the four input ports individually. This is controlled using 3-bit crossbar mux-select bit words in ADC input control register. Each individual channel has a similar 3-bit selection. In addition to the four input ports, an internal test signal (PN— pseudorandom noise sequence) can also be selected. This internal test signal is discussed in the User-Configurable BuiltIn Self-Test (BIST) section.

Input Data Format

Each input port consists of a 16-bit mantissa and a 3-bit exponent (16 + 3 floating-point input, or up to 16-bit fixedpoint input). When interfacing to standard fixed-point ADCs, the exponent bit should either be connected to ground or be programmed as outputs for gain control output. If connected to a floating-point ADC (also called gain ranging ADC), the exponent bits from the ADC can be connected to the input exponent bits of the AD6636. The mantissa data format is twos complement, and the exponent is unsigned binary.

The clock signals (CLKA, CLKB, CLKC, and CLKD) can operate at up to 150 MHz. In applications using high speed ADCs, the ADC sample clock, data valid, or data ready strobe are typically used to clock the AD6636.

Connection to Fixed-Point ADC

For fixed-point ADCs, the AD6636 exponent inputs, EXP[2:0], are not typically used and should be tied low. Alternatively, because these pins are shared with gain range control bits, if the gain ranging block is used, these pins can be used as outputs of the gain range control block. The ADC outputs are tied directly to the AD6636 inputs, MSB-justified. Therefore, for fixed-point ADCs, the exponents are typically static and no input scaling is used in the AD6636. Figure 23 shows a typical interconnection.

Scaling with Floating-Point ADC

An example of the exponent control feature combines the AD6600 and the AD6636. The AD6600 is an 11-bit ADC with three bits of gain ranging. In effect, the 11-bit ADC provides the mantissa, and the three bits of the relative signal strength indicator (RSSI) are the exponent. Only five of the eight available steps are used by the AD6600. See the AD6600 data sheet for details.

Complex (I/Q) Input Ports

The four individual ADC input ports of the AD6636 can be configured to function as two complex input ports. Additionally, if required, only two input ports can be made to function as a complex port, while the remaining two input ports function as real individual input ports.

In complex mode, Input Port A is paired with Input Port B to receive I and Q data, respectively. Similarly, Input Port C can be paired with Input Port D to receive I and Q data, respectively. These two pairings are controlled individually using Bits 24 and 25 of ADC input control register.

As explained previously, each individual channel can receive input signals from any of the four input ports using the crossbar mux select bits in the ADC input control register. In addition to the three bits, a 1-bit selection is provided for choosing the complex input port option for any individual channel. For example, if Channel 0 needs to receive complex input from

Signal Attenuation (dB)

Input Ports A and B, then the mux select bits should indicate Input Port A, and the complex input bit should be selected.

When the input ports are paired for complex input operation, only one set of exponent bits is driven externally with gain control output. So when Input Ports A and B form a complex input, then EXPA[2:0] are output and, similarly, for Input Ports C and D, EXPC[2:0] are output.

LVD S Inp ut P orts

AD6636 input ports can be configured in two different modes: CMOS or LVDS. In CMOS input mode, the four input ports can be configured as two complex input ports. In LVDS mode, two CMOS input ports each are combined to form one LVDS input port.

CMOS Input Ports INA[15:0] and INB[15:0] form the positive and negative differential nodes, LVDS_A+[15:0] and LVDS_A−[15:0], respectively. Similarly, INC[15:0] and IND[15:0] form the positive and negative differential nodes, LVDS_C+[15:0] and LVDS_C− [15:0], respectively. CLKA and CLKB form the differential pair, LVDS_CLKA+ and LVDS_CLKA− pins. Similarly, CLKC and CLKD form the differential pair LVDS_CLKC+ and LVDS_CLKC− pins.

By default, the AD6636 powers up in CMOS mode and can be programmed to CMOS mode by using the CMOS mode bit (Bit 10 of the LVDS control register). Writing Logic 1 to Bit 8 of the LVDS control register enables an autocalibrate routine that calibrates the impedance of the LVDS pads to match the output impedance of the LVDS signal source impedance. The LVDS pads in the AD6636 have an internal impedance of 100 Ω across the differential signals; therefore, an external resistor is not required.

PLL CLOCK MULTIPLIER

In the AD6636, the input clock rate must be the same as the input data rate. In a typical digital down-converter architecture, the clock rate is a limitation on the number of filter taps that can be calculated in the programmable RAM coefficient filters (MRCF, DRCF, and CRCF). For slower ADC clock rates (or for any clock rate), this limitation can be overcome by using a PLL clock multiplier to provide a higher clock rate to the RCF filters. Using this clock multiplier, the internal signal processing clock rate can be increased up to 200 MHz. The CLKA signal is used as an input to the PLL clock multiplier.

The PLL clock multiplier is programmable and uses input clock rates between 4 MHz and 150 MHz to give a system clock rate (output) of as high as 200 MHz.

The output clock rate is given by

MCLKA

where:

CLKA is the Input Port A clock rate.

M is a 5-bit programmable multiplication factor.

Function

The gain-control block features a programmable upper threshold register and a lower threshold register. The ADC input data is compared to both these registers. If ADC input data is larger than the upper threshold register, then the gain control output is decremented by 1. If ADC input data is smaller than the lower threshold register, then the gain control output is incremented by 1. When decrementing the gain control output, the change is immediate. But when incrementing the output, a dwell-time register is used to delay the change. If the ADC input is larger than the upper threshold register value, the gaincontrol output is decremented immediately to prevent overflow.

N is a predivide factor.

M is a 5-bit number between 4 and 20 (both values included). N

(predivide) can be 1, 2, 4, or 8. The multiplication factor programmed using a 5-bit PLL clock multiplier word in the ADC clock control register. A value outside the valid range of 4 to 20 bypasses the PLL clock multiplier and, therefore, the PLL clock is the same as the input clock. The predivide factor programmed using a 2-bit ADC pre-PLL clock divider word in the ADC clock control register, as listed in Table 10.

For best signal processing advantage, the user should program the clock multiplier to give a system clock output as close as possible to, but not exceeding, 200 MHz. The internal blocks of the AD6636 that run off of the PLL clock are rated to run at a maximum of 200 MHz. The default power-up state for the PLL clock multiplier is the bypass state, where CLKA is passed on as the PLL clock.

ADC GAIN CONTROL

Each ADC input port has individual, high speed gain-control logic circuitry. Such gain-control circuitry is useful in applications that involve large dynamic-range inputs or in which gain-ranging ADCs are employed. The AD6636 gain-control logic allows programmable upper and lower thresholds and a programmable dwell-time counter for temporal hysteresis.

When the ADC input is lower than the lower threshold register, a dwell timer is loaded with the value in the programmable 20-bit dwell-time register. The counter decrements once every input clock cycle, as long as the input signal remains below the lower threshold register value. If the counter reaches 1, the gain control output is incremented by 1. If the signal goes above the lower threshold register value, the gain adjustment is not made, and the normal comparison to lower and upper threshold registers is initiated once again. Therefore, the dwell timer provides temporal hysteresis and prevents the gain from switching continuously.

In a typical application, if the ADC signal goes below the lower threshold for a time greater than the dwell time, then the gain control output is incremented by 1. Gain control bits control the gain ranging block, which appears before the ADC in the signal chain. With each increment of the gain control output, gain in the gain-ranging block is increased by 6.02 dB. This increases the dynamic range of the input signal into the ADC by 6.02 dB. This gain is compensated for in the AD6636 by relinearizing, as explained in the Relinearization section. Therefore, the AD6636 can increase the dynamic range of the ADC by 42 dB, provided that the gain-ranging block can support it.

Relinearization

The gain in the gain-ranging block (external) is compensated for by relinearizing, using the exponent bits EXP[2:0] of the input port. For this purpose, the gain control bits are connected to the EXP[2:0] bits, providing an attenuation of 6.02 dB for every increase in the gain control output. After the gain in the external gain-ranging block and the attenuation in the AD6636 (using EXP bits), the signal gain is essentially unchanged. The only change is the increase in the dynamic range of the ADC.

Each input port has a 3-bit output from the gain control block. These three output pins are shared with the 3-bit exponent input pins for each input port. The operation is controlled by the gain control enable bit in gain control register of the individual input ports. A Logic 1 in this bit programs the EXP[2:0] pins as gain-control outputs, and a Logic 0 configures the pins as input exponent pins. To avoid bus contention, these pins are set, by default, as input exponent pins.

Rev. 0 | Page 21 of 72

External gain-ranging blocks or gain-ranging ADCs have a delay associated with changing the gain of the signal. Typically, these delays can be up to 14 clock cycles. The gain change in the AD6636 (via EXP[2:0]) must be synchronized with the gain change in the gain-ranging block (external). This is allowed in the AD6636 by providing a flexible delay, programmable 6-bit word in the gain control register. The value in this 6-bit word gives the delay in input clock cycles. A programmable pipeline

AD6636

delay given by the 6-bit value (maximum delay of 63 clock cycles) is placed between the gain control output and the EXP[2:0] input. Therefore, the external gain-ranging block’s settling delays are compensated for in the AD6636.

Note that any gain changes that are initiated during the relinearization period are ignored. For example, if the AD6636 detects that a gain adjustment is required during the relinearization period of a previous gain adjustment, then the new adjustment is ignored.

To set up the gain control block for individual input ports, the individual upper threshold registers and lower threshold registers should be written with appropriate values. The 10-bit values written into upper and lower threshold registers are compared to the 10 MSB bits of the absolute magnitude calculated using the input port data. The 20-bit dwell timer register should have the appropriate number of clock cycles to provide temporal hysteresis.

ADC INPUT PORT MONITOR FUNCTION

The AD6636 provides a power-monitor function that can monitor and gather statistics about the received signal in a signal chain. Each input port is equipped with an individual power-monitor function that can operate both in real and in complex modes of the input port. This function block can operate in one of three modes, which measure the following over a programmable period of time:

•

Peak power Mean power

•

Number of samples crossing a threshold

•

These functions are controlled via the 2-bit power-monitor function select bits of the power monitor control register for each individual input port. The input ports can be set for different modes, but only one function can be active at a time for any given input port.

A 6-bit relinearization pipeline delay word is set to synchronize with the settling delay in the external gain ranging circuitry. Finally, the gain control enable bit is written with Logic 1 to activate the gain control block. On enabling, the gain control output bits are made 000 (output on EXP[2:0] pins), which represent the minimum gain for the external gain-ranging circuitry and corresponding minimum attenuation during relinearization. The normal functioning takes over, as explained previously in this section.

Complex Inputs

For complex inputs (formed by pairing two input ports), only one set of EXP[2:0] pins should be used as the gain control output. For the pair of Input Ports A and B, gain control circuitry for Input Port A is active, and EXPA[2:0] should be connected externally as the gain control output. The gain control circuitry for Input Port B is not activated (shut down), and EXPB[2:0] is forced to be equal to EXP[2:0].

The three modes of operation can function continuously over a programmable time period. This time period is programmed as the number of input clock cycles in a 24-bit ADC monitor period register (AMPR). This register is separate for each input port. An internal magnitude storage register (MSR) is used to monitor, accumulate, or count, depending on the mode of operation.

Peak Detector Mode (Control Bits 00)

The magnitude of the input port signal is monitored over a programmable time period (given by AMPR) to give the peak value detected. This mode is set by programming Logic 0 in the power-monitor function select bits of the power-monitor control register for each individual input port. The 24-bit AMPR must be programmed before activating this mode.

After enabling this mode, the value in the AMPR is loaded into a monitor period timer and the countdown is started. The magnitude of the input signal is compared to the MSR, and the greater of the two is updated back into the MSR. The initial value of the MSR is set to the current ADC input signal magnitude. This comparison continues until the monitor period timer reaches a count of 1.

When the monitor period timer reaches a count of 1, the value in the MSR is transferred to the power-monitor holding register, which can be read through the microport or the serial port. The monitor period timer is reloaded with the value in the AMPR, and the countdown is started. Also, the first input sample’s magnitude is updated in the MSR, and the comparison and update procedure, as explained above, continues. If the interrupt is enabled, an interrupt is generated, and the interrupt status register is updated when the AMPR reaches a count of 1.

Mean Power Mode (Control Bits 01)

In this mode, the magnitude of the input port signal is integrated (by adding an accumulator) over a programmable time period (given by AMPR) to give the integrated magnitude of the input signal. This mode is set by programming Logic 1 in the power monitor function select bits of the power monitor control register for each individual input port. The 24-bit AMPR, representing the period over which integration is performed, must be programmed before activating this mode.

After enabling this mode, the value in the AMPR is loaded into a monitor period timer, and the countdown is started immediately. The 15-bit magnitude of input signal is rightshifted by nine bits to give 6-bit data. This 6-bit data is added to the contents of a 24-bit holding register, thus performing an accumulation. The integration continues until the monitor period timer reaches a count of 1.

When the monitor period timer reaches a count of 1, the value in the MSR is transferred to the power-monitor holding register (after some formatting), which can be read through the microport or the serial port. The monitor period timer is reloaded with the value in the AMPR, and the countdown is started. Also, the first input sample signal magnitude is updated in the MSR, and the accumulation continues with the subsequent input samples. If the interrupt is enabled, an interrupt is generated, and the interrupt status register is updated when the AMPR reaches a count of 1. Figure 27 illustrates the mean power-monitoring logic.

The value in the MSR is a floating-point number with 4 MSBs and 20 LSBs. If the 4 MSBs are EXP and the 20 LSBs are MAG, the value in dBFS can be decoded using the following equation:

Threshold Crossing Mode (Control Bits 10)

In this mode of operation, the magnitude of the input port signal is monitored over a programmable time period (given by AMPR) to count the number of times it crosses a certain programmable threshold value. This mode is set by programming Logic 1x (where x is a don’t care bit) in the power-monitor function select bits of the power monitor control register for each individual input port. Before activating this mode, the user needs to program the 24-bit AMPR and the 10-bit upper threshold register for each individual input port. The same upper threshold register is used for both power monitoring and gain control (see the ADC Gain Control section).

After entering this mode, the value in the AMPR is loaded into a monitor period timer, and the countdown is started. The magnitude of the input signal is compared to upper threshold register (programmed previously) on each input clock cycle. If the input signal has magnitude greater than the upper threshold register, then the MSR register is incremented by 1. The initial value of the MSR is set to zero. This comparison and increment of the MSR register continues until the monitor period timer reaches a count of 1.

When the monitor period timer reaches a count of 1, the value in the MSR is transferred to the power monitor holding register, which can be read through the microport or the serial port. The monitor period timer is reloaded with the value in the AMPR, and the countdown is started. The MSR register is also cleared to a value of zero. If interrupts are enabled, an interrupt is generated, and the interrupt status register is updated when the AMPR reaches a count of 1. Figure 28 illustrates the threshold crossing logic. The value in the MSR is the number of samples that have an amplitude greater than the threshold register.

Additional Control Bits

For additional flexibility in the power monitoring process, two control bits are provided in the power-monitor control register. The two control bits are the disable monitor period timer bit and the clear-on-read bit. These options have the same function in all three modes of operation.

If the clear-on-read bit is Logic 0, the read operation to the microport or serial port does not clear the MSR value after it is transferred into the holding register. The value from the previous monitor time period persists, and it continues to be compared, accumulated, or incremented, based on new input signal magnitude values.

Disable Monitor Period Timer Bit

When the disable monitor period timer bit is written with Logic 1, the timer continues to run but does not cause the contents of the MSR to be transferred to the holding register when the count reaches 1. This function of transferring the MSR to the power monitor holding register and resetting the MSR is now controlled by a read operation on the microport or serial port.

When a microport or serial port read is performed on the power monitor holding register, the MSR value is transferred to the holding register. After the read operation, the timer is reloaded with the AMPR value. If the timer reaches 1 before the microport or serial port read, the MSR value is not transferred to the holding register, as in normal operation. The timer still generates an interrupt on the AD6636 interrupt pin and updates the interrupt status register. An interrupt appears on the

IRP

pin, if interrupts are enabled in the interrupt enable register.

Clear-on-Read Bit

This control bit is valid only when the disable monitor period timer bit is Logic 1. When both of these bits are set, a read operation to either the microport or the serial port reads the MSR value and the monitor period timer is reloaded with the AMPR value. The MSR is cleared (written with current input signal magnitude in peak power and mean power mode; written with a zero in threshold crossing mode), and normal operation continues.

When the monitor period timer is disabled and the clear-onread bit is set, a read operation to the power monitor holding register clears the contents of the MSR and, therefore, the power monitor loop restarts.

QUADRATURE I/Q CORRECTION BLOCK

When the I and Q paths are digitized using separate ADCs, as in quadrature IF down-conversion, a mismatch often occurs between I and Q due to variations in the ADCs from the manufacturing process. The AD6636 is equipped with two quadrature correction blocks that can be used to correct I/Q mismatch errors in a complex baseband input stream. These I/Q mismatches can result in spectral distortions, and removing them is useful.

Two such blocks are present, one each for the I/Q signal formed by combining the A and B inputs and the C and D inputs, respectively. The I/Q correction block can be enabled when the Port A (or Port C) complex data active bit is enabled in the ADC input control register. This block is bypassed when real input data is present on the ADC input ports, because there is no possibility of I/Q mismatch in real data.

The I/Q or quadrature correction block consists of three independent subblocks: dc correction, phase correction, and amplitude correction. Three individual bits in the AB (or CD) correction control registers can be used to enable or disable each of these subblocks independently. Figure 29 shows the contents and definitions of the registers related to the quadrature correction block.

DC Correction

All ADCs have a nominal dc offset related to them. If the ADCs in the I and Q path have different dc offsets due to variations in manufacturing process, the dc correction circuit can be used to compensate for these dc offsets. Writing Logic 1 into the dc correction enable bit of the AB (or CD) correction control register enables the dc correction block. Two dc estimation blocks are used, one each for the I and Q paths. The estimated dc value is subtracted from the I and Q paths. Therefore, the dc signal is removed independently from the I and Q path signals.

A cascade of two low-pass decimating filters estimates the dc offset in the feedback loop. A decimating first-order CIC filter is followed by an interpolating second-order CIC filter. The decimation and interpolation values of the CIC filters are the same and are programmable between 2

and 224 in powers of 2. The 4-bit dc loop BW word in the I/Q correction control AB (or CD) register is used to program this decimation (interpolation) value. When the dc loop BW is a 0, decimation is 2 the dc loop BW is 11, decimation is 2

, and when

When the dc correction circuit is enabled, the dc correction values are estimated. The values, which are estimated independently in the I and Q paths, are subtracted independently from their respective datapaths. These dc correction values are also available for output continuously through the dc correction I and dc correction Q registers. These registers contain register 16-bit dc offset values whose MSB-justified values are subtracted directly from MSB-justified ADC inputs for the I and Q paths.

When the dc correction circuit is disabled, the value in the dc correction register is used for continuously subtracting the dc offset from I and Q datapaths. This method can be used to manually set the dc offset instead of using the automatic dc correction circuit.

Phase Correction

When using complex ADC input, the I and Q datapaths typically have phase offset, caused mainly by the local oscillator and demodulator IC. The AD6636 phase-offset correction circuit can be used to compensate for this phase offset.

When the phase correction enable bit is Logic 1, the phase error between I and Q is estimated (ideally, the phase should be 90°). The phase mismatch is estimated over a period of time determined by the integrator loop bandwidth. This integrator is implemented as a first-order CIC decimating filter, whose decimation value can vary between 2

and 224 in powers of 2. Phase loop BW (Bits [11:8]) of the I/Q correction control register determine this decimation value. When phase loop BW equals 0, the decimation value is 2 11, the decimation value is 2

, and when phase loop BW is

While the phase offset correction circuit is enabled, the tan(phase_mismatch) is estimated continuously. This value is multiplied with Q path data and added to I path data continuously. The estimated value is also updated in the phase offset correction register. The tan(phase_mismatch) can be ±0.125 with a 14-bit resolution. This converts to a phase mismatch of about ±7.125°.

When the phase offset correction circuit is disabled, the value in the phase correction register multiplied with the Q path data and added to the I path data continuously. This method can be used to manually set the phase offset instead of using the automatic phase offset correction circuit.

Amplitude Correction

When using complex ADC input, the I and Q datapaths typically have amplitude offset, caused mainly by the local oscillator and the demodulator IC. The AD6636 amplitude offset correction circuit can be used to compensate for this amplitude offset.

When the amplitude correction enable bit is Logic 1, the amplitude error between the I and Q datapaths is estimated. The amplitude mismatch is estimated over a period of time determined by the integrator loop bandwidth. This integrator is implemented as a first-order CIC decimating filter, whose decimation value can vary between 2

and 224 in powers of 2. Phase loop BW (Bits [11:8]) of the I/Q correction control register determines this decimation value. When the phase loop BW equals 0, the decimation value is 2 BW is 11, the decimation value is 2

, and when phase loop

While the amplitude offset correction circuit is enabled, the difference (MAG(Q) – MAG(I)) is estimated continuously. This value is multiplied with the Q path data and added to the Q path data continuously. The estimated value is also updated in the phase offset correction register. The difference (MAG(Q) – MAG(I)) can be between 1.125 and 0.875 with a 14-bit resolution.

When amplitude offset correction circuit is disabled, the value in the amplitude offset correction register multiplied with the Q path data and added to Q path data continuously. This method can be used to manually set the amplitude offset instead of using the automatic amplitude offset correction circuit.

INPUT CROSSBAR MATRIX

The AD6636 has four ADC input ports and six channels. Two input ports can be paired to support complex input ports. Crossbar mux selection allows each channel to select its input signal from the following sources: four real input ports, two complex input ports, and internally generated pseudorandom sequence (referred to as a PN sequence, which can be either real or complex). Each channel has an input crossbar matrix to select from the above-listed input signal choices.

The amplitude of the sine and cosine are represented using 17 bits. The worst-case spurious signal from the NCO is better than −100 dBc for all output frequencies.

Because all the filtering in the AD6636 is low-pass filtering, the carrier of interest is tuned down to dc (frequency = 0 Hz). This is illustrated in Figure 30. Once the signal of interest is tuned down to dc, the unwanted adjacent carriers can be rejected using the low-pass filtering that follows.

NCO Frequency

The NCO frequency value is given by the 32-bit twos complement number entered in the NCO frequency register. Frequencies between −CLK/2 and CLK/2 (CLK/2 excluded) are represented using this frequency word:

0x8000 0000 represents a frequency given by −CLK/2.

The selection of the input signal for a particular channel is made using a 3-bit crossbar mux select word and a 1-bit complex data input bit selection in the ADC input control register. Each channel has a separate selection for individual control. Table 12 lists the valid combinations of the crossbar mux select word, the complex data input bit values, and the corresponding input signal selections.

NUMERICALLY CONTROLLED OSCILLATOR (NCO)

Each channel consists of an independent complex NCO and a complex mixer. This processing stage comprises a digital tuner consisting of three multipliers and a 32-bit complex NCO. The NCO serves as a quadrature local oscillator capable of producing an NCO frequency of between −CLK/2 and +CLK/2 with a resolution of CLK/2 clock frequency.

The frequency word used for generating the NCO is a 32-bit word. This word is used to generate a 20-bit phase word. A 16-bit phase offset word is added to this phase word. 18 bits of this phase word are used to generate the sine and cosine of the required NCO frequency.

Mixer

The NCO is accompanied by a mixer. Its operation is similar to an analog mixer. It does the down-conversion of input signals (real or complex) by using the NCO frequency as a local oscillator. For real input signals, this mixer performs a real mixer operation (with two multipliers). For complex input signals, the mixer performs a complex mixer operation (with four multipliers). The mixer adjusts its operation based on the input signal (real or complex) provided to each individual channel.

Bypass

The NCO and the mixer can be bypassed individually in each channel by writing Logic 1 in the NCO bypass bit in the NCO control register of the channel under consideration. When bypassed, down-conversion is not performed and the AD6636 channel functions simply as a real filter on complex data. This is

useful for baseband sampling applications, in which the input Port A (or C) is connected to the I signal path within the filter and the Input Port B (or D) is connected to the Q signal path. This might be desired, if the digitized signal has already been converted to baseband in prior analog stages or by other digital preprocessing.

Clear Phase Accumulator on Hop

When clear NCO accumulator bit of NCO control register is set (Logic 1), the NCO phase accumulator is cleared prior to a frequency hop. Refer to the Chip Synchronization section for details on frequency hopping. This ensures a consistent phase of the NCO on each hop. The NCO phase offset is unaffected by this setting and is still in effect. If phase-continuous hopping is needed, this bit should be cleared (NCO accumulator is not cleared). The last phase in the NCO phase register is the initiating point for the new frequency.

Phase Dither

The AD6636 provides a phase dither option for improving the spurious performance of the NCO. Writing Logic 1 in the phase dither enable bit of NCO control register of individual channels enables phase dither. When phase dither is enabled, random phase is added to LSBs of the phase accumulator of the NCO. When phase dither is enabled, spurs due to phase truncation in the NCO are randomized.

The energy from these spurs is spread into the noise floor and the spurious free dynamic range is increased at the expense of a very slight decrease in the SNR. The choice of whether to use phase dither in a system is ultimately decided by the system goals. If lower spurs are desired at the expense of a slightly raised noise floor, phase dither should be employed. If a low noise floor is desired and the higher spurs can be tolerated or filtered by subsequent stages, then phase dither is not needed.

Amplitude Dither

Amplitude dither can be used to improve spurious performance of the NCO. Amplitude dither is enabled by writing Logic 1 in the amplitude dither enable bit of the NCO control register of the channel under consideration. Random amplitude is added to the LSBs of the sine and cosine amplitudes, when this feature is enabled. Amplitude dither improves performance by randomizing the amplitude quantization errors within the angular-to-Cartesian conversion of the NCO. This option might reduce spurs at the expense of a slightly raised noise floor. Amplitude dither and phase dither can be used together, separately, or not at all.

NCO Frequency Hold-Off Register

When the NCO frequency registers are written by the microport or serial port, data is passed to a shadow register. Data can be moved to the main registers when the channel comes out of sleep mode, or when a sync hop occurs. In either event, a counter can be loaded with the NCO frequency holdoff register value. The 16-bit unsigned integer counter starts counting down, clocked by the input port clock selected at the crossbar mux. When the counter reaches 0, the new frequency value in the shadow register is written to the NCO frequency register. Writing 1 in this hold-off register updates the NCO frequency register as soon as the start sync or hop sync occurs. See the Chip Synchronization section for details.

Phase Offset

The phase offset register can be written with a value that is added as an offset to the phase accumulator of the NCO. This 16-bit register is interpreted as a 16-bit unsigned integer. A 0x0000 in this register corresponds to a 0 radian offset and a 0xFFFF corresponds to an offset of 2π × (1 − 1/2 This register allows multiple NCOs (multiple channels) to be synchronized to produce complex sinusoids with a known and steady phase difference.

Hop Sync

A hop sync should be issued to the channel, when the channel’s NCO frequency needs to be changed from one frequency to a different frequency. This feature is discussed in detail in the Chip Synchronization section.

FIFTH-ORDER CIC FILTER

The signal processing stage immediately after the NCO is a CIC filter stage. This stage implements a fixed-coefficient, decimating, cascade integrated comb filter. The input rate to this filter is the same as the data rate at the input port; the output rate from this stage is dependent on the decimation factor.

The decimation ratio of 1 can be achieved by bypassing the CIC filter stage. The frequency response of the filter is given by the following equations. The gain and pass-band droop of the CIC should be calculated by these equations. Both parameters can be offset in the RCF stage.

CIC Rejection

Table 13 illustrates the amount of bandwidth as a percentage of the data rate into the CIC stage, which can be protected with various decimation rates and alias rejection specifications. The maximum input rate into the CIC is 150 MHz (the same as the maximum input port data rate). The data may be scaled to any other allowable sample rate.

Example Calculations

Goal:

Implement a filter with an input sample rate of 100 MHz

requiring 100 dB of alias rejection for a ± 1.4 MHz pass band.

Solution: First determine the percentage of the sample rate that

is represented by the pass band.

In the −100 dB column in Table 13, find the value greater than or equal to the pass-band percentage of the clock rate. Then find the corresponding rate decimation factor (M M

of 6, the frequency that has −100 dB of alias rejection is

CIC

). For an

CIC

1.48%, which is slightly larger than the 1.4% calculated. Therefore, for this example, the maximum bound on CIC decimation rate is 6. A higher M

means less alias rejection

CIC

than the 100 dB required.

FIR HALF-BAND BLOCK

The output of the CIC filter is pipelined into the FIR HB (halfband) block. Each channel has two sets of cascading fixedcoefficient FIR and fixed-coefficient half-band filters. The halfband filters decimate by 2. Each of these filters (FIR1, HB1, FIR2, HB2) are described in the following sections.

3-Tap Fixed-Coefficient Filter (FIR1)

The 3-tap FIR filter is useful in certain filter configurations in which extra alias protection is needed for the decimating HB1 filter. It is a simple sum-of-products FIR filter with three filter taps and 2-bit fixed coefficients. Note that this filter does not decimate. The coefficients of this symmetric filter are {1, 2, 1}. The normalized coefficients used in the implementation are {0.25, 0.5, 0.25}.

The user can either use or bypass this filter. Writing Logic 0 to the FIR1 enable bit in the FIR-HB control register bypasses this fixed-coefficient filter. The filter is useful only in certain filter configurations and bypassing it for other applications results in power savings.

Decimate-by-2 Half-Band Filter (HB1)

The next stage of the FIR-HB block is a decimate-by-2 halfband filter. The 11-tap, symmetrical, fixed-coefficient HB1 filter has low power consumption due to its polyphase implementation. The filter has 22 bits of input and output data with 10-bit coefficients. Table 14 lists the coefficients of the half-band filter. The normalized coefficients used in the implementation and the 10-bit decimal equivalent value of the coefficients are also listed. Other coefficients are zeros.

Similar to the FIR1 filter, this filter can be used or bypassed. Writing Logic 0 to the HB1 enable bit in the FIR-HB control register bypasses this fixed-coefficient HB filter. The filter is useful only in certain filter configurations and bypassing it for other applications results in power savings. For example, it is useful in narrow-band and wideband output applications in which more filtering is required as compared to very wide bandwidth applications in which a higher output rate might prohibit the use of a decimating filter. The response of the filter is shown in Figure 32.

The filter has a maximum input sample rate of 150 MHz and, when filter is not bypassed, the maximum output rate is 75 MHz.

The filter has a ripple of 0.0012 dB and rejection of 77 dB. For an alias rejection of 77 dB, the alias-protected bandwidth is 14% of the filter input sample rate. The bandwidth of the filter for a ripple of 0.00075 dB is also the same as the alias-protected bandwidth, due to the nature of half-band filters. The 3 dB bandwidth of this filter is 44% of the filter input sample rate. For example, if the sample rate into the filter is 50 MHz, then the alias-protected bandwidth of the HB1 filter is 7 MHz. If the bandwidth of the required carrier is greater than 7 MHz, then HB1 might not be useful.

6-Tap Fixed Coefficient Filter (FIR2)

Following the first cascade of the FIR1 and HB1 filters is the second cascade of the FIR2 and HB2 filters. The 6-tap, fixedcoefficient FIR2 filter is useful in providing extra alias protection for the decimating HB2 filter in certain filter configurations. It is a simple sum-of-products FIR filter with six filter taps and 5-bit fixed coefficients. Note that this filter does not decimate. The normalized coefficients used in the implementation and the 5-bit decimal equivalent value of the coefficients are listed in Table 15.

The filter is useful only in certain filter configurations and bypassing it for other applications results in power savings. The filter is especially useful in increasing the stop-band attenuation of the HB2 filter that follows. Therefore, it is optimal to use both FIR2 and HB2 in a configuration.

INTERMEDIATE DATA ROUTER

Following the FIR-HB cascade filters is the intermediate data router. This data router consists of muxes that allow the I and Q data from any channel front end (input port + NCO + CIC + FIR-HB) to be processed by any channel back end (MRCF + DRCF + CRCF). The choice of channel front end is made by programming a 3-bit MRCF data select word in the MRCF control register. The valid values for this word and their corresponding settings are listed in Table 17.

Allowing different channel back ends to select different channel front ends is useful in the polyphase implementation of filters. When multiple AD6636 channels are used to process a single carrier, a single-channel front end feeds more than one channel back end. After processing through the channel back ends (RCF filters), the data is interleaved back from all the polyphased channels.

MONO-RATE RAM COEFFICIENT FILTER (MRCF)

The MRCF is a programmable sum-of-products FIR filter. This filter block comes after the first data router and before the DRCF and CRCF programmable filters. It consists of a maximum of eight taps with 6-bit programmable coefficients. Note that this block does not decimate and is used as a helper filter for the DRCF and CRCF filters that follow in the signal chain.

The number of filter taps that are to be calculated is programmable using the 3-bit number-of-taps word in the MRCF control register of the channel under consideration. The 3-bit word programmed is one less than the number of filter taps. The coefficients themselves are programmed in eight MRCF coefficient memory registers for individual channels. The input and output data to the block are both 20-bit.

Symmetry

Though the MRCF filter does not require symmetrical filters, if the filter is symmetrical, then the symmetry bit in the MRCF control register should be set. When this bit is set, only half of the impulse response needs to be programmed into the MRCF coefficient memory registers. For example, if the number of filter taps is equal to five or six and the filter is symmetrical, then only three coefficients need to be written into the coefficient memory. For both symmetrical and asymmetrical filters, the number of filter taps is limited to eight.

Clock Rate

The MRCF filter runs on an internal high speed PLL clock. This clock rate can be as high as 200 MHz. If the half clock rate bit in the MRCF control register is set, then only half the PLL clock rate is used (maximum of 100 MHz). This results in power savings, but can only be used if certain conditions are met.

then half of the PLL clock can be used for processing (power

Bypass

The MRCF filter can be used in normal operation or bypassed

using the MRCF bypass bit in the MRCF control register. When

the filter is bypassed, the output of the filter is the same as the

input of the filter. Bypassing the MRCF filter when not required

results in power savings.

Scaling

The output of the MRCF filter can be scaled by using the 2-bit

MRCF scaling word in the MRCF control register. Table 18

ing settings.

DECIMATING RAM COEFFICIENT FILTER (DRCF)

Following the MRCF is the programmable DRCF FIR filter.

This filter can calculate up to 64 asymmetrical filter taps or up

to 128 symmetrical filter taps. The filter is also capable of a

programmable decimation rate of from 1 to 16. A flexible

coefficient offset feature allows loading multiple filters into the

coefficient RAM and changing the filters on the fly. The

decimation phase feature allows a polyphase implementation,

where multiple AD6636 channels are used for processing a

single carrier.

The DRCF filter has 20-bit input and output data and 14-bit

coefficient data. The number of filter taps to calculate is

programmable and is set in the DRCF taps register. The value

of the number of taps minus one is written to this register.

For example, a value of 19 in the register corresponds to

20 filter taps.

The decimation rate is programmable using the 4-bit DRCF decimation rate word in the DRCF control register. Again, the value written is the decimation rate minus one.

Bypass

The DRCF filter can be used in normal operation or bypassed using the DRCF bypass bit in the DRCF control register. When the DRCF filter is bypassed, no scaling is applied and the output of the filter is the same as the input to the DRCF filter.

Scaling

The output of the DRCF filter can be scaled using the 2-bit DRCF scaling word in the DRCF control register. Table 19 lists the valid values for the 2-bit word and their corresponding settings.

DRCF Scale Word [1:0] Scaling Factor

00 18.06 dB attenuation 01 12.04 dB attenuation 10 6.02 dB attenuation 11 No scaling, 0 dB

Symmetry

The DRCF filter does not require symmetrical filters. However, if the filter is symmetrical, then the symmetry bit in the DRCF control register should be set. When this bit is set, only half of the impulse response needs to be programmed into the DRCF coefficient memory registers. For example, if the number of filter taps is equal to 15 or 16 and the filter is symmetrical, then only eight coefficients need to be written into the coefficient memory. Because a total of 64 taps can be written into the memory registers, the DRCF can perform 64 asymmetrical filter taps or 128 symmetrical filter taps.

Coefficient Offset

More than one set of filter coefficients can be loaded into coefficient RAM at any given time (given sufficient RAM space). The coefficient offset can be used in this case to access the two or more different filters. By changing the coefficient offset, the filter coefficients being accessed can be changed on the fly. This decimal offset value is programmed in the DRCF coefficient offset register. When this value is changed during the calculation of a particular output data sample, the sample calculation is completed using the old coefficients, and the new coefficient offset from the next data sample calculation is used.

Decimation Phase

When more than one channel of AD6636 is used to process one carrier, polyphase implementation of corresponding channels’ DRCF or CRCF is possible using the decimation phase feature. This feature can be used only under certain conditions. The decimation phase is programmed using the 4-bit DRCF decimation phase word of the DRCF control register.

The DRCF filter consists of two multipliers (one each for the I and Q paths).

Therefore, the maximum number of filter taps that can be calculated (symmetrical or asymmetrical filter) is given by

Note that each write or read access increments the internal RAM address. Therefore, all coefficients should be read first before reading them back. Also, for debugging purposes, each RAM address can be written individually by making the start address and stop addresses the same. Therefore, to program one RAM location, the user writes the address of the RAM location to both the start and stop address registers, and then writes the coefficient memory register.

Programming DRCF Registers for a Symmetric Filter

Programming DRCF Registers for an Asymmetrical Filter

To program the DRCF registers for an asymmetrical filter:

Write 0 for the DRCF coefficient offset register. Write 0 for the symmetrical filter bit in the DRCF control

Write all coefficients in reverse order (start with last

Write the start address for the coefficient RAM, typically

Write the stop address for the coefficient RAM, typically

equal to ceil(NTAPS/2) – 1, in the DRCF stop address register.

Write all coefficients to the DRCF coefficient memory

register, starting with the middle of the filter and working towards the end of the filter. When coefficients are numbered 0 to NTAPS – 1, the middle coefficient is given by the coefficient number ceil(NTAPS/2). If in 8-bit microport mode or serial port mode, write the lower byte of the memory register first and then the higher byte. After each write access to the DRCF coefficient memory register, the internal RAM address is incremented starting with the start address and ending with stop address.

Note that each write or read access increments the internal RAM address. Therefore, all coefficients should be read first before reading them back. Also, for debugging purposes, each RAM address can be written individually by making the start and stop addresses the same. Therefore, to program one RAM location, the user writes the address of the RAM location to both the start and stop address registers, and then writes the coefficient memory register.

CHANNEL RAM COEFFICIENT FILTER (CRCF)

Following the DRCF is the programmable decimating CRCF FIR filter. The only difference between the DRCF and CRCF filters is the coefficient bit width. The DRCF has 14-bit coefficients, while the DRCF has 20-bit coefficients.

This filter can calculate up to 64 asymmetrical filter taps or up to 128 symmetrical filter taps. The filter is capable of a programmable decimation rate from 1 to 16. The flexible coefficient offset feature allows loading multiple filters into the coefficient RAM and changing the filters on the fly. The decimation phase feature allows for a polyphase implementation in which multiple AD6636 channels are used to process a single carrier.

The CRCF filter has 20-bit input and output data and 14-bit coefficient data. The number of filter taps to calculate is programmable and is set in the CRCF taps register. The value of the number of taps minus one is written to this register. For example, a value of 19 in the register corresponds to 20 filter taps. The decimation rate is programmable using the 4-bit CRCF decimation rate word in the CRCF control register. Again, the value written is the decimation rate minus one.

Bypass

The CRCF filter can be used in normal operation or bypassed using the CRCF bypass bit in the CRCF control register. When the CRCF filter is bypassed, no scaling is applied and the output of the filter is the same as the input to the CRCF filter.

Scaling

The output of the CRCF filter can be scaled using the 2-bit CRCF scaling word in the CRCF control register. Table 20 shows the valid values for the 2-bit word and the corresponding settings. | ∑ form) used to calculate the FIR filter.

The CRCF filter does not require symmetrical filters. However, if the filter is symmetrical, then the symmetry bit in the CRCF control register should be set. When this bit is set, only half the impulse response needs to be programmed into the CRCF coefficient memory registers. For example, if the number of filter taps is equal to 15 or 16 and the filter is symmetric, then only eight coefficients need to be written into the coefficient memory. Because a total of 64 taps can be written into the memory registers, the CRCF can perform 64 asymmetrical filter taps or 128 symmetrical filter taps.

Coefficient Offset

More than one set of filter coefficients can be loaded into the coefficient RAM at any time (given sufficient RAM space). The coefficient offset can be used in this case to access the two or more different filters. By changing the coefficient offset, the filter coefficients being accessed can be changed on the fly. This decimal offset value is programmed in the CRCF coefficient offset register. When this value is changed during the calculation of a particular output data sample, the sample calculation is completed using the old coefficients and the new coefficient offset is brought into effect from the next data sample calculation.

Decimation Phase

When more than one channel of the AD6636 is used to process one carrier, polyphase implementation of the corresponding channels’ DRCF or CRCF is possible using the decimation phase feature. This feature can be used only under certain conditions. The decimation phase is programmed using the 4-bit CRCF decimation phase word of the CRCF control register.

Programming CRCF Registers for an Asymmetrical Filter

To program the CRCF registers for an asymmetrical filter:

Wr it e NTAPS – 1 in the CRCF taps register, where NTAPS

1. is the number of filter taps. The absolute maximum value for NTAPS is 64 in asymmetrical filter mode.

Write 0 for the CRCF coefficient offset register. Write 0 for the symmetrical filter bit in the CRCF control

3. register.

In the CRCF start address register, write the start address

for the coefficient RAM, typically equal to the coefficient offset register.

In the CRCF stop address register, write the stop address

for the coefficient RAM, typically equal to the following:

Coefficient Offset + NTAPS – 1

Write all coefficients in reverse order (start with last

6. coefficient) to the CRCF coefficient memory register. In 8-bit microport mode or serial port mode, write the lower byte of the memory register first and then the higher byte. In 16-bit microport mode, write the lower 16-bits of the CRCF memory register first and then the high four bits. After each write access to the CRCF coefficient memory register, the internal RAM address is incremented starting with the start address and ending with the stop address.

Note that each write or read access increments the internal RAM address. Therefore, all coefficients should be read first before reading them back. Also, for debugging purposes, each RAM address can be written individually by making the start and stop addresses the same. Therefore, to program one RAM location, the user writes the address of the RAM location to both the start and stop address registers, and then writes the coefficient memory register.

Programming CRCF Registers for a Symmetrical Filter

To program the CRCF registers for a symmetrical filter:

In the CRCF stop address register, write the stop

address for the coefficient RAM, typically equal to ceil(NTAPS/2) – 1.

Write all coefficients to the CRCF coefficient memory

register, starting with middle of the filter and working towards the end of the filter. When coefficients are numbered 0 to NTAPS – 1, the middle coefficient is given by the coefficient number ceil(NTAPS/2). In 8-bit microport mode or serial port mode, write the lower byte of the memory register first and then the higher byte. In 16-bit microport mode, write the lower 16-bits of the CRCF memory register first and then the high four bits. After each write access to the CRCF coefficient memory register, the internal RAM address is incremented starting with the start address and ending with the stop address.

Note that each write or read access increments the internal RAM address. Therefore, all coefficients should be read first before reading them back. Also, for debugging purposes, each RAM address can be written individually by making the start and stop addresses the same. Therefore, to program one RAM location, the user writes the address of the RAM location to both the start and stop address registers, and then writes the coefficient memory register.

INTERPOLATING HALF-BAND FILTER

The AD6636 has interpolating half-band FIR filters that immediately follow the CRCF programmable FIR filters and precede the second data router. Each interpolating half-band filter takes 22-bit I and 22-bit Q data from the preceding CRCF and outputs rounded 22-bit I and 22-bit Q data to the second data router. A 10-tap fixed-coefficient filter is implemented in this stage.

The maximum input rate into this block is 17 MHz. Consequently, the maximum output is constrained to 34 MHz. The normalized coefficients used in the implementation and the 10-bit decimal equivalent value of the coefficients are listed in Table 21. Other coefficients are 0.

Wr it e NTAPS – 1 in the CRCF taps register, where NTAPS

1. is the number of filter taps. The absolute maximum value for NTAPS is 128 in symmetrical filter mode.

Wr it e ceil(64 – NTAPS/2) for the CRCF coefficient offset

Write 1 for the symmetrical filter bit in the CRCF control

4. In the CRCF start address register, write the start address

for the coefficient RAM, typically equal to the coefficient offset register.

The half-band filters interpolate the incoming data by 2×. For a channel running at 2× the chip rate, the half-band can be used to output channel data at 4× the chip rate. The interpolation operation creates an image of the baseband signal, which is filtered out by the half-band filter.

The image rejection of this filter is about 55 dB, but is still sufficient, because the image is from the desired signal, not an interfering signal. Note that the interpolating half-band filter can be enabled by writing a Logic 1 to Bit 9 of the MRCF control registers.

The frequency response of the interpolating half-band FIR is shown in Figure 37 with respect to the chip rate. The input rate to this filter is 2× the chip rate, and the output rate is 4× the chip rate.

OUTPUT DATA ROUTER

The output data router circuit precedes the six AGCs of the final output block and immediately follows the interpolating halfband filters. This block consists of two subblocks. The first subblock is responsible for combining (interleaving) data from more than one channel into a single stream of data.

The second subblock can perform two special functions, either complex filter completion or biphase filtering. The combined data is passed on to the AGCs.

Interleaving Data

In some cases, filtering using a single channel is insufficient. For such setups, it is advantageous to combine the filtering resources of more than one channel.

Multiple channels can be set up to work on the ADC input port data with the same NCO and filter setups. The decimation phase values in one of the RCF filters are set such that the channel filters are exactly out of phase with each other. In the data router, these multiple channels are interleaved (combined) to form a single stream of data. Because each individual channel is decimated more than it would be if a single channel were filtering, a larger number of filter taps can be calculated.

For example, two channels need to work together to produce a filter at an output rate of 10 MHz when the input rate is 100 MHz. Each channel is decimated by a factor of 20 (total decimation) to achieve the desired output rate of 5 MHz each. This compares to a decimation of 10, if a single channel were filtering.

The same coefficients are programmed in both channels’ RCF filters, and the decimation phases are set to 0 and 1. The decimation phases can be set to 0 for one channel, and 1 for the second channel in the pair. This causes the first channel to produce the even outputs, and the second to produce the odd outputs of the filter. The streams can then be recombined (interleaved) to produce the desired 10 MHz output rate. The benefit is that now each channel’s RCF has time to calculate twice as many taps, because it has a lower output rate.

The interleaving function is a simple time-multiplexing function, with lower data rate on the input side and higher data rate on the output side. The output data rate is the sum of all input stream data rates that are combined.

The channels that need to be combined are programmable with sufficient flexibility. Table 22 gives the combinations that are possible using a 4-bit word (stream control bits) in the Parallel Port Control 2 register.

The terms calculated are as follows:

•

(ICi, QCi) from first channel

• (Icq, QCq) from the second channel

Using these terms, the complex filter is completed by applying the following formula:

(I + jQ) (Ci + jCq) = (ICi − QCq) + j(ICq + QCi)

After interleaving of data (see the Output Data Router section), the data is passed to the second subblock, in which either complex filter completion or biphase filtering can be performed.

Complex Filter Completion

In normal operation, each individual channel’s filter performs real coefficient, complex data filtering.

The channels to be combined can be programmed using a 3-bit complex control word in the Parallel Output Control 2 register. The values for the 3-bit control word and the corresponding settings are listed in Table 23.

These outputs go to the six available AGCs. Not all AGCs need to be used in the different applications, so unused AGCs can be bypassed and the output data streams ignored by the parallel output ports. For example, if Streams 0 and 1 are combined for a

AD6636

Biphase Filtering Option

The second special function that can be performed by the second subblock of the output data router is called the biphase filtering option. With this option, the AD6636 can be used to process data from ADCs that run faster than the input clock frequency by using two channels or two streams to form a biphase filter.

For example, a 300 MHz ADC can be used with a clock rate of 150 MHz driving the ADC. The ADC data can be decimated by 2 to produce even and odd data streams of data. The even stream can be clocked into ADC Input Port A, and the odd stream can be clocked into ADC Input Port B. These input ports drive separate channels or separate groups of channels. The filters of the RCF can be designed to place a 300 MHz sample time difference (1/300 MHz = 3.3 ns) between the even and odd path filters.

After the channel-filter coefficients have appropriate delay, a complex addition of the odd and even sample channels can be performed to create a single filter. This equivalent filter looks like a single channel with a 300 MHz input rate, even though the clock rate of the chip runs at only 150 MHz.

A biphase filter summation is implemented by the following equation:

Output = (Ie × Ce + Io × Co) + j(Qe × Ce + Qo × Co)

where:

Ie × Ce, Qe × Ce are even in-phase and quadrature-phase samples from one stream. Io × Co and Qo × Co are odd in-phase and quadrature-phase samples from the other stream. Ce and Co are the even and odd coefficients, which differ by 1 high speed sample time (300 MHz in the previous example).

Users can program certain streams to be summed using the biphase filtering option. This option can be programmed using the same 3-bit complex control word in the Parallel Output Control 2 register. The values for the 3-bit control word and their corresponding settings are listed in Table 23.

AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL

The AD6636 is equipped with six independent automatic gain control (AGC) loops that directly follow the second data router and immediately precede the parallel output ports. Each AGC circuit has 96 dB of range. It is important that the decimating filters of the AD6636 preceding the AGC reject unwanted signals, so that each AGC loop is operating only on the carrier of interest, and carriers at other frequencies do not affect the ranging of the loop.

The AGC compresses the 24-bit complex output from the second data router into a programmable word size of 4 to 8, 10,

12, or 16 bits. Because the small signals from the lower bits are pushed in to higher bits by adding gain, the clipping of the lower bits does not compromise the SNR of the signal of interest.

The AGC maintains a constant mean power on the output despite the level of the signal of interest, allowing operation in environments where the dynamic range of the signal exceeds the dynamic range of the output resolution. The output width of the AGC is set by writing a 3-bit AGC word length word in the AGC control register of the individual channel’s memory map.

The AGC can be bypassed, if needed, and, when bypassed, the 24-bit complex input word is still truncated to a 16-bit value that is output through the parallel port output. The six AGCs available on the AD6636 are programmable through the six channel memory maps. AGCs corresponding to individual channels can be bypassed by writing Logic 1 to AGC bypass bit in the AGC control register.

Three sources of error can be introduced by the AGC function: underflow, overflow, and modulation. Underflow is caused by truncation of bits below the output range. Overflow is caused by clipping errors when the output signal exceeds the output range. Modulation error occurs when the output gain varies while receiving data.

The desired signal level should be set based on the probability density function of the signal, so that the errors due to underflow and overflow are balanced. The gain and damping values of the loop filter should be set, so that the AGC is fast enough to track long-term amplitude variations of the signal that might cause excessive underflow or overflow, but slow enough to avoid excessive loss of amplitude information due to the modulation of the signal.

AGC Loop

The AGC loop is implemented using a log-linear architecture. It contains four basic operations: power calculation, error calculation, loop filtering, and gain multiplication.

The AGC can be configured to operate in either desired signal level mode or desired clipping level mode. The mode is set by the AGC clipping error bit of the AGC control register. The AGC adjusts the gain of the incoming data according to how far it is from a given desired signal level or desired clipping level, depending on the selected mode of operation.

Two datapaths to the AGC loop are provided: one before the clipping circuitry and one after the clipping circuitry, as shown in Figure 39. For the desired signal level mode, only the I/Q path from before the clipping is used. For the desired clipping level mode, the difference of the I/Q signals from before and after the clipping circuitry is used.

Desired Signal Level Mode

In this mode of operation, the AGC strives to maintain the output signal at a programmable set level. The desired signal level mode is selected by writing Logic 0 into the AGC clipping error enable bit of the AGC control register. The loop finds the square (or power) of the incoming complex data signal by squaring I and Q and adding them.

The AGC loop has an average and decimate block. This average and decimate operation takes place on power samples and before the square root operation. This block can be programmed to average from 1 to 16,384 power samples, and the decimate section can be programmed to update the AGC once every 1 to 4,096 samples. The limitation on the averaging operation is that the number of averaged power samples should be a multiple of the decimation value (1×, 2×, 3×, or 4×).

with these operations, attenuation scaling is provided before the CIC filter.

This scaling operation accounts for the division associated with the averaging operation as well as the traditional bit growth in CIC filters. Because this scaling is implemented as a bit-shift operation, only coarse scaling is possible. Fine scaling is implemented as an offset in the request level, as explained later in this section. The attenuation scaling S from 0 to 14 using a 4-bit CIC scale word in the AGC average samples register and is given by

The averaging and decimation effectively means that the AGC can operate over averaged power of 1 to 16,384 output samples. Updating the AGC once every 1 to 4,096 samples and operating on average power facilitates the implementation of the loop filter with slow time constants, where the AGC error converges slowly and makes infrequent gain adjustments. It is also useful when the user wants to keep the gain scaling constant over a frame of data or a stream of symbols.

Due to the limitation that the number of average samples must be a multiple of the decimation value, only the multiple numbers 1, 2, 3, or 4 are programmed. This is set using the AGC average samples word in the AGC average sample register. These averaged samples are then decimated with decimation ratios programmable from 1 to 4,096. This decimation ratio is defined in the 12-bit AGC update decimation register.

The average and decimate operations are tied together and implemented using a first-order CIC filter and FIFO registers. Gain and bit growth are associated with CIC filters and depend on the decimation ratio. To compensate for the gain associated

For example, if a decimation ratio M

is 3 (decimation of 1,000 and averaging of 3,000 samples), then the actual gain due to averaging and decimation is 3,000 or 69.54 dB (log

(3000)). Because attenuation is implemented as a bit-

in this case is 12, corresponding to 72.24 dB. This

scaling induces a gain error (the difference

A logarithm to the Base 2 is applied to the output from the average and decimate section. These decimated power samples are converted to rms signal samples by applying a square root operation. This square root is implemented using a simple shift

or K2 is used. This allows a fast

loop when the error term is high (large convergence steps required) and a slower loop function when error term is smaller (almost converged).

The user sets this programmable request signal level R according to the output signal level that is desired. The request signal level R is programmable from −0 dB to −23.99 dB in steps of

0.094 dB.

The request signal level should also compensate for errors, if any, due to the CIC scaling, as explained previously in this section. Therefore, the request signal level is offset by the amount of error induced in CIC, given by

Offset = 10 × log(M

where Offset is in dB.

Continuing the previous example, this offset is given by

where:

DSL (desired signal level) is the output signal level that the user

desires.

Therefore, in the previous example, if the desired signal level is

−13.8 dB, the request level R is programmed to be −16.54 dB, compensating for the offset.

This request signal level is programmed in the 8-bit AGC desired level register. This register has a floating-point representation, where the 2 MSBs are exponent bits and the 6 LSBs are mantissa bits. The exponent is in steps of 6.02 dB, and the mantissa is in steps of 0.094 dB. For example, a value 10’100101 represents 2 × 6.02 + 37 × 0.094 = 15.518 dB.

The error threshold value is programmable between 0 dB and 96.3 dB in steps of 0.024 dB. This value is programmed in the 12-bit AGC error threshold register, using floating-point representation. It consists of four exponent bits and eight mantissa bits. Exponent bits are in steps of 6.02 dB and mantissa bits are in steps of

The loop filter parameters, pole P and gain K, allow the adjustment of the filter time constant that determines the window for calculating the peak-to-average ratio.

Typically, the AGC loop performance is defined in terms of its time constant or settling time. In this case, the closed-loop poles should be set to meet the time constants required by the AGC loop.

(CIC decimation is from 1 to 4,096), and either the settling

time or time constant are chosen by the user. The sample rate is the sample rate of the stream coming into the AGC. If channels were interleaved in the output data router, then the combined sample rate into the AGC should be considered. This rate should be used in the calculation of poles in the previous equation, where the sample rate is mentioned.

The loop filter output corresponds to the signal gain that is updated by the AGC. Because all computation in the loop filter is done in logarithmic domain (to the Base 2) of the samples, the signal gain is generated using the exponent (power of 2) of the loop filter output.

The gain multiplier gives the product of the signal gain with both the I and Q data entering the AGC section. This signal gain is applied as a coarse 4-bit scaling and then as a fine scale 8-bit multiplier. Therefore, the applied signal gain is from 0 to

96.3 dB in steps of 0.024 dB. The initial signal gain is programmable using the AGC signal gain register. This register is again a 4 exponent + 8 mantissa bit floating-point representation similar to the error threshold. This is taken as the initial gain value before the AGC loop starts operating.

The products of the gain multiplier are the AGC scaled outputs with a 19-bit representation. These are in turn used as I and Q for calculating the power, and the AGC error and loop are filtered to produce the signal gain for the next set of samples. These AGC scaled outputs can be programmed to have 4-, 5-, 6-, 7-, 8-, 10-, 12-, or 16-bit widths by using the AGC output word length word in the AGC control register. The AGC scaled outputs are truncated to the required bit widths by using the clipping circuitry, as shown in Figure 39.

Average Samples Setting

Though it is complicated to express the exact effect of the number of averaging samples by using equations, intuitively it has a smoothing effect on the way the AGC loop addresses a sudden increase or a spike in the signal level. If averaging of four samples is used, the AGC addresses a sudden increase in

⎤ ⎥

signal level more slowly compared to no averaging. The same applies to the manner in which the AGC addresses a sudden decrease in the signal level.

Desired Clipping Level Mode

Each AGC can be configured so that the loop locks onto a desired clipping level or a desired signal level. Desired clipping level mode is selected by writing Logic 1 in the AGC clipping error mode bit in the AGC control register. For signals that tend to exceed the bounds of the peak-to-average ratio, the desired clipping level option provides a way to prevent truncating those signals and still provide an AGC that attacks quickly and sett

les to the desired output level. The signal path for this mode of operation is shown with dotted lines in Figu

re 39; the operation

is similar to the desired signal level mode.

First, the data from the gain multiplier is truncated to a low

er resolution (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, or 16 bits) as set by the AGC output word length word in the AGC control register. An e

rror term (for both I and Q) is generated that is the difference between the signals before and after truncation. This term is passed to the complex squared magnitude block, for averaging and decimating the update samples and taking their square root to find rms samples as in desired signal level mode. In pla

ce of the request desired signal level, a desired clipping level is subtracted, leaving a

n error term to be processed by the second-

order loop filter.

The rest of the loop operates the same way as the desired signal level mode. This way, the truncation error is calculated and t

he AGC loop operates to maintain a constant truncation error level. The only register setting that is different from the desire signal level mode settings is that the desired clipping level stored in the AGC de

sired level registers instead of in the

request signal level.

AGC Synchronization

When the AGC output is connected to a RAKE receiver, the RAKE receiver can synchronize the average and update section to update the average power for AGC error calculation and lo

op filtering. This external sync signal synchronizes the AGC changes to the RAKE receiver and makes sure that the AG

C gain word does not change over a symbol period, which, therefore, provides a more accurate estimation. This synchronization can be accomplish

ed by setting the appropriate bits of

the AGC control register.

Sync Select Alternatives

The AGC can receive a sync as follows:

•

nchronize the

Channel sync: The sync signal is used to sy NCO of the channel under consideration.

• Pin sync: Select one of the four SYNC pins.

•

Sync now bit: Through the AGC control register.

AD6636

When the channel sync select bit of the AGC control register is Logic 1, the AGC receives the SYNC signal used by the NCO of the corresponding channel for the start. When this bit is Logic 0, the pin sync defined by the 2-bit SYNC pin select word in the AGC control register is used to provide the sync to the AGC. Apart from these two methods, the AGC control register also has a sync now bit that can be used to provide a sync to the AGC by writing to this register through the microport or serial port.

PARALLEL PORT OUTPUT

The AD6636 incorporates three independent 16-bit parallel ports for output data transfer. The three parallel output ports share a common clock, PCLK. Each port consists of a 16-bit data bus, REQuest signal, ACKnowledge signal, three channel indicator pins, one I/Q indicator pin, one gain word indicator pin, and a common shared PCLK pin. The parallel ports can be configured to function in master mode or slave mode. By default, the parallel ports are in slave mode on power-up.

Sync Process

Regardless of how a sync signal is received, the syncing process is the same. When a sync is received, a start hold-off counter is loaded with the 16-bit value in the AGC hold-off register, which initiates the countdown. The countdown is based on the ADC input clock. When the count reaches 1, a sync is initiated. When a sync is initiated, the CIC decimation filter dumps the current value to the square root, error estimation, and loop filter blocks. After dumping the current value, it starts working toward the next update value. Additionally on a sync, AGC can be initialized if the initialize AGC on sync bit is set in the AGC control register. During initialization, the CIC accumulator is cleared and new values for CIC decimation, number of averaging samples, CIC scale, signal gain, open-loop gains K and K

, and pole parameter P are loaded from their respective

registers. When the initialize on sync bit is cleared, these parameters are not loaded from the registers.

This sync process is also initiated when a channel comes out of sleep by using the start sync to the NCO. An additional feature is the first sync only bit in the AGC control register. When this bit is set, only the first sync initiates the process and the remaining sync signals are ignored. This is useful when syncing using a pin sync. A sync is required only on the first pulse on this pin. These additional features make AGC synchronization more flexible and applicable to varied circumstances.

PCLKn

Each parallel port can output data from any or all of the AGCs, using the 1-bit enable bit for each AGC in the parallel port control register. Even when the AGC is not required for a certain channel, the AGC can be bypassed, but the data is still received from the bypassed AGC. The parallel port functionality is programmable through the two parallel port control registers.

Each parallel port can be programmed individually to operate in either interleaved I/Q mode or parallel I/Q mode. The mode is selected using a 1-bit data format bit in the parallel port control register. In both modes, the AGC gain word output can be enabled using a 1-bit append gain bit in the parallel port control register for individual output ports. There are six enable bits per output port, one for each AGC in the corresponding parallel port.

Interleaved I/Q Mode

Parallel port channel mode is selected by writing a 0 to the data format bit for the parallel port in consideration. In this mode, I and Q words from the AGC are output on the same 16-bit data bus on a time-multiplexed basis. The 16-bit I word is output followed by the 16-bit Q word. The specific AGCs output by the port are selected by setting individual bits for each of the AGCs in the parallel port control register. Figure 40 shows the timing diagram for the interleaved I/Q mode.

When an output data sample is available for output from an AGC, the parallel port initiates the transfer by pulling the PxREQ signal high. In response, the processor receiving the data needs to pull the PxACK signal high, acknowledging that it is ready to receive the signal. In Figure 40, PxACK is already pulled high and, therefore, the 16-bit I data is output on the data bus on the next PCLK rising edge after PxREQ is driven logic high. The PxIQ signal also goes high to indicate that I data is available on the data bus. The next PCLK cycle brings the Q data onto the data bus. In this cycle, the PxIQ signal is driven low. When I data and Q data are output, the channel indicator pins PxCH[2:0] indicate the data source (AGC number).

Figure 40 is the timing diagram for interleaved I/Q mode with the AGC gain word disabled. Figure 41 is a similar timing diagram with the AGC gain word. I and Q data are as explained for Figure 40. In the PCLK cycle after the Q data, the AGC gain word is output on the data bus and the PxGAIN signal is pulled high to indicate that the gain word is available on the parallel

PCLKn

port. Therefore, a minimum of three or four PCLK cycles are required to output one sample of output data on the parallel port without or with the AGC gain word, respectively.

Parallel IQ Mode

In this mode, eight bits of I data and eight bits of Q data are output on the data bus simultaneously during one PCLK cycle. The I byte is the most significant byte of the port, while the Q byte is the least significant byte. The PAIQ and PBIQ output indicator pins are set high during the PCLK cycle. Note that if data from multiple AGCs are output consecutively, the PAIQ and PBIQ output indicator pins remain high until data from all channels is output.

The PACH[2:0] and PBCH[2:0] pins provide a 3-bit binary value indicating the source (AGC number) of the data currently being output. Figure 42 is the timing diagram for parallel I/Q mode.

Figure 42. Parallel I/Q Mode without an AGC Gain Word

When an output data sample is available for output from an AGC, the parallel port initiates the transfer by pulling the PxREQ signal high. In response, the processor receiving the data needs to pull the PxACK signal high, acknowledging that it is ready to receive the signal. In Figure 42, the PxACK is already pulled high and, therefore, the 8-bit I data and 8-bit Q data are simultaneously output on the data bus on the next PCLK rising edge after PxREQ is driven logic high. The PxIQ signal also goes high to indicate that I/Q data is available on the data bus. When I/Q data is being output, the channel indicator pins PxCH[2:0] indicate the data source (AGC number).

Figure 42 is the timing diagram for interleaved I/Q mode with the AGC gain word disabled. Figure 43 is a similar timing diagram with the AGC gain word enabled. I and Q data are as shown in Figure 39. In the PCLK cycle after the I/Q data, the AGC gain word is output on the data bus, and the PxGAIN signal is pulled high to indicate that the gain word is available on the parallel port. During this PCLK cycle, the PxIQ signal is pulled low to indicate that I/Q data is not available on the data bus. Therefore, in parallel I/Q mode, a minimum of two PCLK cycles is required to output one sample of output data on the parallel port without and with the AGC gain word, respectively.

LOGIC LOW 0

04998-0-042

The order of data output is dependent on when data arrives at the port, which is a function of total decimation rate, DRCF/ CRCF decimation phase, and start hold-off values. Priority order from highest to lowest is, AGCs 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 for both parallel I/Q and interleaved modes of output.

Master/Slave PCLK Modes

The parallel ports can operate in either master or slave mode. The mode is set via PCLK master mode bit in the Parallel Port Control 2 register. The parallel ports power up in slave mode to avoid possible contentions on the PCLK pin.

In master mode, PCLK is an output derived by dividing PLL_CLK down by the PCLK divisor. The PCLK divisor can have a value of 1, 2, 4, or 8, depending on the 2-bit PCLK divisor word setting in the Parallel Port Control 2 register. The highest PLCK rate in master mode is 200 MHz. Master mode is selected by setting the PCLK master mode bit in the Parallel Port Control 2 register.

In slave mode, external circuitry provides the PCLK signal. Slave-mode PCLK signals can be either synchronous or asynchronous. The maximum slave mode PCLK frequency is also 200 MHz.

PCLK can operate as a master or as a slave. This setting is dependent on the 1-bit PCLK master mode bit in the Parallel Port Control 2 register. As an output (master mode), the maximum frequency is CLK/N, where CLK is AD6636 clock and N is an integer divisor of 1, 2, 4, or 8. As an input (slave mode), it can be asynchronous or synchronous relative to the AD6636 CLK. This pin powers up as an input to avoid possible contentions. Parallel port output pins change on the rising edge of PCLK.

Active high output. Synchronous to PCLK. A logic high on this pin indicates that data is available to be shifted out of the port. When an acknowledge signal is received, data starts shifting out and this pin remains high until all pending data has been shifted out.

Active high asynchronous input. Applying a logic low on this pin inhibits parallel port data shifting. Applying a logic high to this pin when REQ is high causes the parallel port to shift out data according to the programmed data mode.

ACK is sampled on the rising edge of PCLK. Assuming that REQ is asserted, the latency from the assertion of ACK to data appearing at the parallel port output is no more than 1.5 PCLK cycles. ACK can be held high continuously; in this case, when data becomes available, shifting begins 1 PCLK cycle after the assertion of REQ (see Figure 40, Figure 41, Figure 42, and Figure 43).

High whenever I data is present on the parallel port data bus; otherwise low. In parallel I/Q mode, both I data and Q data are available at the same time and, therefore, the PxIQ signal is pulled high.

High whenever the AGC gain word is present on the parallel port data bus; otherwise low.

These pins identify data in both of the parallel port modes. The 3-bit value identifies the source of the data (AGC number) on the parallel port when it is being shifted out.

Parallel output port data bus. Output format is twos complement. In parallel I/Q mode, 8-bit data is present; in interleaved I/Q mode, 16-bit data is available.

AD6636

USER-CONFIGURABLE BUILT-IN SELF-TEST (BIST)

Each channel of AD6636 includes a BIST block. The BIST, along with an internal test signal (pseudorandom test input signal), can be used to generate a signature. This signature can be compared with a known good device and an untested device to see if the untested device is functional.

BIST timer bits in the BIST control register can be programmed with a timer value that determines the number of clock cycles that the output of the channels (output of AGC) have accumulated. When the disable signature generation bit is written with Logic 0, the BIST timer is counted down and a signature register is written with the accumulated output of the AD6636 channel.

When the BIST timer expires, the signature register for I and Q paths can be read back to compare it with the signature register from a known good device.

CHIP SYNCHRONIZATION

The AD6636 offers two types of synchronization: start sync and hop sync. Start sync is used to bring individual channels out of sleep after programming. It can also be used while AD6636 is operational to resynchronize the internal clocks. Hop sync is used to change or update the NCO frequency tuning word and the NCO phase offset word.

Two methods can be used to initiate a start sync or hop sync:

•

Soft sync is provided by the memory map registers and is

applied to channels directly through the microport or serial port interface.

Start with Soft Sync

The AD6636 can synchronize channels or chips under microprocessor control. The start hold-off counter, in conjunction with the soft start enable bit and the channel enable bits, enables this synchronization.

To synchronize the start of multiple channels via microprocessor control:

Write the channel enable register to enable one or more

1. channels, if the channels are inactive.

Write the NCO start hold-off counter(s) to the appropriate

2. value (greater than 1 and less than 2

Write the soft sync channel enable bit(s) and soft start

synchronization enable bit high in the soft synchronization configuration register. This starts the countdown by the start hold-off counter. When the count reaches 1, the channels are activated or resynchronized.

Start with Pin Sync

Four sync pins (0, 1, 2, and 3) provide very accurate synchronization among channels. Each channel can be programmed to monitor any of the four sync pins.

To start the channels with a pin sync:

Write the channel register to enable one more channels, if

1. the channels are inactive.

Write the NCO start hold-off counter(s) to the appropriate

2. value (greater than 1 and less than 2

− 1).

Pin sync is provided using four hard-wired SYNC[3:0] pins.

•

Each channel is programmed to listen to one of these SYNC pins and do a start sync or a hop sync when a signal is received on these pins.

The pin synchronization configuration register (Address 0x04) is used to make pin synchronization even more flexible. The part can be programmed to be edge-sensitive or level-sensitive for SYNC pins. In edge-sensitive mode, a rising edge on the SYNC pins is recognized as a synchronization event.

Start

Start refers to the startup of an individual channel or chip, or of multiple chips. If a channel is not used, it should be put into sleep mode to reduce power dissipation. Following a hard reset (low pulse on the

RESET

pin), all channels are placed into sleep mode. Alternatively, channels can be put to sleep manually by writing 0 to the sleep register.

Rev. 0 | Page 47 of 72

Program the channel NCO control registers to monitor the

3. appropriate SYNC pins.

Write the start synchronization enable bit and SYNC pin

4. enable bits high in the pin synchronization configuration register. This starts the countdown of the start hold-off counter. When the count reaches 1, the channels are activated or resynchronized.

Hop

Hop is a jump from one NCO frequency and/or phase offset to a new NCO frequency and/or phase offset. This change in frequency and/or phase offset can be synchronized via microprocessor control (soft sync) or via an external sync signal (pin sync).

AD6636

Hop with Soft Sync

The AD6636 can synchronize a change in NCO frequency and/or phase offset of multiple channels or chips under microprocessor control. The NCO hop hold-off counter, in conjunction with the soft hop enable bit and the channel enable bits, enables this synchronization.

To synchronize the hop of multiple channels via microprocessor control:

Write the NCO frequency register(s) or phase offset

1. register(s) to the new value.

Write the NCO frequency hold-off counter(s) to the

2. appropriate value (greater than 1 and less than 2^16).

Write the soft hop synchronization enable bit and the

3. corresponding soft sync channel enable bits high in the soft synchronization configuration register. This starts the countdown by the frequency hold-off counter. When the count reaches 1, the new frequency and/or phase offset is loaded into the NCO.

Hop with Pin Sync

Four sync pins (0, 1, 2 and 3) provide very accurate synchronization among channels. Each channel can be programmed to look at any of the four sync pins.

To control the hop of channel NCO frequencies:

Write the NCO frequency register(s) or phase offset

1. register(s) to the new value.

Write the NCO frequency hold-off counter(s) to the

2. appropriate value (greater than 1 and less than 2

Program the channel NCO control registers to monitor the

appropriate SYNC pins.

Write the hop synchronization enable bit and SYNC pin

4. enable bits high in the pin synchronization configuration register. This enables the countdown of the frequency hold-off counter. When the reaches 1, the new frequency and/or phase offset is loaded into the NCO.

SERIAL PORT CONTROL

The AD6636 serial port allows the programming and readback of all control registers and coefficient memory, serially, in 1-byte words. The serial port can work in two modes, selected using the MODE pin (SPI = 0, SPORT = 1). In both SPI and SPORT modes, the AD6636 is compatible with Blackfin, TigerSHARC, and other DSPs. The serial port and microport share some of the I/O pins; therefore, only one of these ports is operational at a time.

The selection between the serial port and microport modes is made using the SMODE pin (serial port = 1, microport = 0). The serial port has a chip select pin (active low signal), which should be pulled low for any operation on the serial port. Serial data can be shifted into the part or out of the part as either MSB first or LSB first using the MSBFIRST pin (1 = MSB first, 0 = LSB first).

Hardware Interface

The pins listed in Table 25 comprise the physical interface between the user’s programming device and the AD6636 serial port. All serial pins are inputs except for SDO, which is an opendrain output and should be pulled high by an external pull-up resistor (typical value of 1 kΩ).

Table 25. Serial Port Pin Names and Functions

MSBFIRST Indicates whether the first bit shifted in or out of the serial port is the MSB (1) or LSB (0) of the data word. STFS Serial transmit frame sync in SPORT mode; ignored in SPI mode.

AD6636

SPI Mode Write Operation

In SPI mode, the SCLK runs only when data is being transferred, so no external framing is necessary. The SPI serial mode supports slave operations only. Input data on SDI pin is registered on the rising edge of SCLK and, therefore, the DSP or master device should be set to change data on the falling edge of SCLK. All input and output transfers take place in 8-bit transactions.

For a write operation, the user must write two 8-bit instruction words to the serial port to instruct the AD6636 internal control logic about the data to be written. The first instruction word is an address location. If the MSBFIRST pin is Logic 1, this address is the ending address; if it is Logic 0, this address corresponds to the starting address. The second instruction word contains a 1-bit read/write indicator (MSB bit: 1 = read, 0 = write), followed by a 7-bit field to indicate the number of address locations to write (N).

Following the instruction words are the N write operations (each one byte long), where N is the number of address locations to write. After each write cycle, the internal address is incremented (MSBFIRST = 0) or decremented (MSBFIRST =

1). In this case, MSBFIRST indicates the first bit coming out of or into the SPI port as well as which byte is written first (most significant byte of the N-byte transfer).

For example, consider writing Addresses 0x01 to 0x07 of AD6636 register map, when operating in SPI mode and MSBFIRST = 0. The instruction words are Addresses 0x01 and 0x07 (MSB = 0 for write). The following seven write cycles transfer one byte at a time sequentially into Addresses 0x01 to 0x07, in that order. The instruction words and data should be written with LSB first.

If the example is for MSBFIRST = 1, then the instruction words are 0x07 (Address 7) and 0x07 (number of addresses to write). The data corresponds to Addresses 0x07 to 0x01, in that order. The instruction words and data are MSB first.

SPI Mode Read Operation

Data on the SDO pin is shifted out on the positive edge of SCLK. Therefore, the DSP or other master device should register data on the falling edge of SCLK. All input and output transfers take place in 8-bit transactions. The SDO pin is high impedance when data is not being output.

Each read cycle consists of generated on SCLK pin, followed by

SCS

going low, eight clock cycles

SCS

pulled high. Data corresponding to the addresses to be read is transferred out on the SDO pin and is registered by the master device on the falling edge. The data is MSB first or LSB first based on the status of MSBFIRST pin.

For example, consider reading Addresses 0x01 to 0x07 of the AD6636 register map, when operating in SPI mode and MSBFIRST = 0. The instruction words are Addresses 0x01 and 0x87 (MSB = 1 for read). The following seven read cycles transfer one byte at a time, sequentially out of Addresses 0x01 to 0x07, in that order. The instruction words should be written LSB first, and data comes out on the SDO with the LSB first.

If the example is for MSBFIRST = 1, then the instruction words are 0x07 (Address 7) and 0x87 (MSB = 1 for read, followed by the number of address locations to read). The data coming out on SDO corresponds to Addresses 0x07 to 0x01, in that order. The instruction words are written MSB first, and data comes out on the SDO with MSB first.

SPORT Mode Write Operation

In SPORT mode, the SCLK runs continuously, and external SRFS and STFS signals are used for framing of the input and out words. Incoming framing signals SRFS (receive/input) and STFS (transmit/output) are valid when they are high for one SCLK cycle. All input and output data must be transmitted or received in 8-bit words by using the appropriate framing signals. During a write cycle, the data is registered on the rising edge of SCLK. Therefore, the programming device outputs data on the falling edge of the SCLK. The

SCS

pin is low for both read and

write cycles.

For a write operation, the user must write two 8-bit instruction words to the SPORT to instruct the AD6636 internal control logic about the data to be written. The first instruction word is an address location. If MSBFIRST is Logic 1, this address is the ending address; if MSBFIRST is Logic 0, this address is the starting address. The second instruction word contains a 1-bit read/write indicator (MSB bit: 1 = read, 0 = write), followed by a 7-bit field to indicate the number of address locations to write (N). Each write cycle takes nine clock cycles, with SRFS high on the first clock cycle and the 8-bit instruction word on the next eight clock cycles.

Following the instruction words is N write operations (each one byte long), where N is the number of address locations to write. Each write operation must include SRFS high for one clock cycle and the 8-bit data. After each write cycle, the internal address is incremented (MSBFIRST = 0) or decremented (MSBFIRST = 1). In this case, MSBFIRST indicates the first bit coming out of or into the SPORT, as well as the byte that is written first (most significant byte of the N-byte transfer, when MSBFIRST = 1).

For example, consider writing Addresses 0x01 to 0x07 of AD6636 register map, when operating in SPORT mode and MSBFIRST = 0. The instruction words are Addresses 0x01 and 0x07 (MSB = 0 for write).

INSTRUCTION BYTE 2

The following seven write cycles transfer one byte at a time, sequentially into Addresses 0x01 to 0x07, in that order. The instruction words and data are written with the LSB first.

If the example is for MSBFIRST = 1, then the instruction words are 0x07 (Address 7) and 0x07 (the number of addresses to write). The data corresponds to Addresses 0x07 through to 0x01, in that order. The instruction words and data are MSB first.

SPORT Mode Read Operation

Data on the SDO pin is shifted out on the positive edge of SCLK. Therefore, the DSP or other master device registers data on the falling edge of SCLK. All input and output transfers take place in 8-bit transactions. The SDO pin is high impedance when data is not being output.

A read operation is similar to a write operation in its format. The first two instruction words are written on the SDI pin, the only difference being that the MSB bit of the second instruction word is that Logic 1 indicates a read operation. After the instruction words are written, the master device initiates N read cycles. Each read cycle consists of an STFS framing signal valid for one clock cycle and the 8-bit data coming out on the SDO pin. The corresponding to the addresses to be read is transferred out on the SDO pin and should be registered by the master device. The data is MSB first or LSB first, based on the status of the MSBFIRST pin.

For example, consider reading Addresses 0x01 to 0x07 of AD6636 register map, when operating in SPORT mode and MSBFIRST = 0. The instruction words are 0x01 and 0x87 (MSB = 1 for read). The following seven read cycles transfer one byte at time, sequentially out of Addresses 0x01 to 0x07, in that order. The instruction words are written LSB first and the data comes out on the SDO with the LSB first.

Connecting the AD6636 Serial Port to a Blackfin DSP

In SPI mode, the Blackfin DSP must act as a master to the AD6636 by providing the SCLK. SDO is an open-drain output, so that multiple slave devices can be connected together. Figure 48 shows typical interconnections.

MICROPORT

The microport on the AD6636 can be used for programming the part, reading register values, and reading output data (I, Q, and RSSI words).

Note that, at any given point in time, either the microport or the serial port can be active, but not both. Some of the balls on the package are shared between the microport and the serial port and have dual functionality based on the SMODE pin. The microport is selected by pulling the SMODE pin low (ground).

Both read and write operations can be performed using the microport. The direct addressing scheme is used and any internal register can be accessed using an 8-bit address. The data bus can be either 8-bit or 16-bit as set by the chip I/O access control register. Microport operation is synchronous to CPUCLK, which must be supplied external to the AD6636 part. CPUCLK should be less than CLKA and 100 MHz.

The microport can operate in Intel mode (separate read and write strobes) or in Motorola mode (single read/write strobe). The MODE pin is used to select between Intel (INM, MODE =

0) and Motorola (MNM, MODE = 1) modes. Some AD6636 pins have dual functionality based on the MODE pin. Table 26 lists the pin functions for both modes.

Intel (INM) Mode

The programming port performs synchronous Intel-style reads and writes on the positive edge of the CPUCLK input when RESET

is inactive (active low signal). The CPUCLK pin is driven by the programming device (CPUCLK of DSP or FPGA). During a write access, the A[7:0] address bus provides the address for access, and the D[15:0] bus (D[7:0] if the 8-bit data bus is used) is driven by the programming device. The data bus is driven by the AD6636 during a read operation. Intel mode uses separate read (

) and write (WR) active-low data strobes to indicate both the type of access and the valid data for that access.

The chip select (

) is an active-low input that signals when an access is active on its programming port pins. During an access, the AD6636 drives RDY low to indicate that it is performing the access. When the internal read or write access is complete, the RDY pin pulled high. Because the RDY pin is an open-drain output with a weak internal pull-up resistor (70 kΩ), an external pull-up resistor is recommended (see Figure 50). Figure 13 and Figure 14 are the timing diagrams for read and write cycles using the microport in INM mode.

For an asynchronous write operation in Intel (INM) mode, the CPUCLK should be running. Set up the data and address buses. Pull the

signal low and then pull the CS signal low. The RDY goes low to indicate that the access is taking place internally. When RDY goes high, the write cycle is complete and CS

can be pulled high to disable the microport.

For an asynchronous read operation on the Intel mode microport, set up the address bus and three-state the data bus. Pull the

signal low and then pull the CS signal low. The RDY goes low to indicate an internal access. When RDY goes low, valid data is available on the data bus for read.

Motorola (MNM) Mode

The programming port performs synchronous Motorola-style reads and writes on the positive edge of CPUCLK when

RESET is inactive (active low signal). The A[7:0] bus provides the address to access and the D[15:0] bus (D[7:0], if the 8-bit data bus is used) is externally driven with data during a write (driven by the AD6636 during a read). Motorola mode uses the R/

W line to indicate the type of access (Logic 1 = read, Logic 0 = write), and the active-low data strobe (

) signal is used to

indicate valid data.

Accessing Multiple AD6636 Devices

If multiple AD6636 devices are on a single board, the microport pins for these devices can be shared. In this configuration, a single programming device (DSP, FPGA, or microcontroller) can program all AD6636 devices connected to it.

Each AD6636 has four CHIPID pins that can be connected in 16 different ways. During a write/read access, the internal circuitry checks to see if the CHIPID bits in the chip I/O access control register (Address 0x02) are the same as the logic levels of the CHIPID pins (hardwired to the part). If the CHIPID bits and the CHIPID pins have the same value, then a write/read access is completed; otherwise, the access is ignored.

To program multiple devices using the same microport control and data buses, the devices should have separate CHIPID pin configurations. A write/read access can be made only on the intended chip; all other chips would ignore the access.

JTAG BOUNDARY SCAN

The AD6636 supports a subset of the IEEE Standard 1149.1 specification. For details of the standard, see the IEEE Standard Test Access Port and Boundary-Scan Architecture, an IEEE-1149 publication.

The AD6636 has five pins associated with the JTAG interface. These pins, listed in Table 27, are used to access the on-chip test access port. All input JTAG pins are pull-up except for TCLK, which is pull-down.

The AD6636 supports three op codes, listed in Table 28. These instructions set the mode of the JTAG interface.

Instruction Op Code

BYPASS 11 SAMPLE/PRELOAD 01 EXTEST 00

A BSDL file for this device is available. Contact Analog Devices Inc. for more information.

EXTEST (2'b00)

Places the IC into an external boundary-test mode and selects the boundary-scan register to be connected between TDI and TDO. During this operation, the boundary-scan register is accessed to drive-test data off-chip via boundary outputs and receive test data off-chip from boundary inputs.

SAMPLE/PRELOAD (2'b01)

Allows the IC to remain in normal functional mode and selects the boundary-scan register to be connected between TDI and TDO. The boundary-scan register can be accessed by a scan operation to take a sample of the functional data entering and leaving the IC. Also, test data can be preloaded into the boundary scan register before an EXTEST instruction.

BYPASS (2'b11)

Allows the IC to remain in normal functional mode and selects a 1-bit bypass register between TDI and TDO. During this instruction, serial data is transferred from TDI to TDO without affecting operation of the IC.

MEMORY MAP

READING THE MEMORY MAP TABLE

Each row in the memory map table has four address locations. The memory map is roughly divided into four regions: global register map (Addresses 0x00 to 0x0B), input port register map (Addresses 0x0C to 0x67), channel register map (Addresses 0x68 to 0xBB), and output port register map (Addresses 0xBC to 0xE7). The channel register map is shared by all six channels, and access to individual channels is given by the channel I/O access control register (Address 0x02).

In the memory map, Table 29, the addresses are given in the right column. The column with the heading Byte 0 has the address given in the right column. The column Byte 1 has the address given by 1 more than the address listed in the right column (address offset of 1). Similarly, the address offset for the Byte 2 column is 2, and for the Byte 3 column is 3. For example, the second row lists 0x04 as the address in the right column. The pin synchronization configuration register has Address 0x04, the soft synchronization configuration register has Address 0x05, and the LVDS control register lists Addresses 0x07 and 0x06.

Bit Format

All registers are in little-endian format. For example, if a register takes 24 bits or three address locations, then the most significant byte is at the highest address location and the least significant byte is at a lowest address location. In all registers, the least significant bit is Bit 0 and the most significant bit is Bit 7. For example, the NCO frequency <31:0> register is 32 bits wide. Bit 0 (LSB) of this register is written at Bit 0 of Address 0x70 and Bit 32 (MSB) of this register is written at Bit 7 of Address 0x73.

When referring to a register that takes up multiple address locations, it is referred to by the address location of the most significant byte of the register. For example, the text reads, “Port A dwell timer at Address 0x2A.” Note that only the four most significant bits of this register are at this location, and this register also takes up Addresses 0x29 and 0x28.

Open Locations

All locations marked as open are currently not used. When required, these locations should be written with 0s. Writing to these locations is required only when part of an address location is open (for example, Address 0x78). If the whole address location is open (for example, Address 0x00), then this address location does not need to be written. If the open locations are readback using the microport or serial port, the readback value is undefined (each bit can be independently 1 or

0), and these bits have no significance.

If an address location has more than one register or has one register with some open bits, then the order of these registers is as given in the table. For example, Address 0x33 reads

Open <7:5>, Port A Signal Monitor <4:0>.

The open <7:5> is located at Bits <7:5> and the Port A signal monitor <4:0> is located at Bits <4:0>.

Another example is Address 0x35:

Open <15:10>, Port A Upper Threshold <9:0>

Here, Bits <7:2> of Address 0x35 are open <15:10>. Bits <1:0> of Address 0x35 and Bits <7:0> of Address 0x34 make up the Port A upper threshold <9:0> register (Bit 1 of Address 0x35 is the MSB of the Port A upper threshold register).

Default Values

On coming out of reset, some of the address locations (but not all) are loaded with default values. When available, the default values for the registers are given in the table. If the default value is not listed, then these address locations are in an undefined state (Logic 0 or Logic 1) on

Logic Levels

In the explanation of various registers, “bit is set” is synonymous with “bit is set to Logic 1” or “writing Logic 1 for the bit.” Similarly “clear a bit” is synonymous with “bit is set to Logic 0” or “writing Logic 0 for the bit.”

Chip I/O Access Control Register <7:0>

<7>: Synchronous Microport Bit. When this bit is set, the microport assumes that its controls signals (such as R/

and

,) are synchronous to the CPUCLK. When cleared, asynchronous control signals are assumed, and the microport control signals are resynchronized with CPUCLK inside the AD6636 part. Synchronous microport (when bit is set) has the advantage of requiring a fewer number of clock cycles for read/write access.

<6>: This bit is open.

<5:2>: Chip ID Bits. The chip ID bits are used to compare against the chip ID input pins, enabling or disabling I/O access for this specific chip. When more than one AD6636 part is sharing the microport, different CHIPID pins can be used to differentiate among the parts. A particular part gives I/O access only when the CHIPID pins have the same value as these chip ID bits.

<1>: This bit is open.

<5>: Channel 5 Access Bit. When the Channel 5 access bit is set to Logic 1, any I/O write operation (from either the microport or the serial port) that addresses a register located within the channel register map updates the Channel 5 registers. Similarly, for a read operation, the contents of the desired address in the channel register map are output when this bit is set to Logic 1.

<1>: Channel 1 Access Bit. Similar to Bit <5> for Channel 1.

<0>: Channel 0 Access Bit. Similar to Bit <5> for Channel 0.

Note: If the access bits are set for more than one channel, during write access all channels with access are written with same the data. This is especially useful when more than one channel has similar configurations. During a read operation, if more than one channel has access, the read access is given to the channel with the lowest channel number. For example, if both Channel 4 and Channel 2 have access bits set, then read access is given to Channel 2.

Channel Enable Register <5:0>

<5>: Channel 5 Enable Bit. When this bit is set, Channel 5 logic is enabled. When this bit is cleared, Channel 5 is disabled and the channel’s logic does not consume any power. On power-up, this bit comes up with Logic 0 and the channel is disabled. A start sync does not start Channel 5 unless this bit is set before issuing the start sync.

<4>: Edge-Sensitivity Bit. When this bit is set, the rising edge on the SYNC pin(s) is detected as a synchronization event (edgesensitive detection). When cleared, Logic 1 on the SYNC pin(s) is detected as a synchronization event (level-sensitive detection).

<3>: Enable Synchronization from SYNC3 Bit. When this bit is set, the SYNC3 pin can be used for synchronization. When this bit is cleared, the SYNC3 pin is ignored. This is a global enable for all SYNC pins, and each individual channel selects which pin it listens to.

When this bit is set, hop synchronization is enabled for all channels that are programmed for pin synchronization. When this bit is cleared, hop synchronization is not performed for any channel that is programmed for pin synchronization.

<6>: Start Synchronization Enable Bit. This bit is a global enable for any start synchronization involving SYNC pins. When this bit is set, start synchronization is enabled for all channels that are programmed for pin synchronization. When this bit is cleared, start synchronization is not performed for any channel that is programmed for pin synchronization.

<5>: First Sync Only Bit. When this bit is set, the NCO synchronization logic recognizes only the first synchronization event as valid. All other requests for synchronization events are ignored as long as this bit is set. When cleared, all synchronization events are acted upon.

<6>: Soft Start Synchronization Enable Bit. When this bit is set, start synchronization is enabled for all channels selected using Bits 5:0. When this bit is cleared, start synchronization is not performed for any channels selected using Bits 5:0.

Bits<5:0> form the SOFT_SYNC control bits. These bits can be written to by the controller to initiate the synchronization of a selected channel.

<5>: Soft Sync Channel 5 Enable Bit. When this bit is set, it enables Channel 5 to receive a hop sync or start sync, as defined by Bits 7 and 6, respectively. When cleared, Channel 5 does not receive any soft sync.

LVDS Control Register <10:0>

<10>: CMOS Mode Bit. When this bit is set, the ADC ports operate in CMOS mode. When this bit is cleared, the ADC ports operate in LVDS mode. The default is Logic 1 or CMOS mode. In LVDS mode, two CMOS ADC port pins are used to form one differential pair of LVDS ADC ports.

<9>: Reserved. This bit should always be written Logic 1.

<8>: Autocalibrate Enable Bit. When this bit is set, the autocalibration cycle is invoked for the LVDS pads. At the end of calibration, this calibration value is set for the LVDS pads. When this bit is cleared, the output for the LVDS controller is taken from manual calibration value (Bits <7:0> of this register).

<7:4>: These bits are open.

<3:0>: Manual Calibration Value Bits. The value of these bits is used for manual LVDS calibration. When the autocalibrate bit is set, these bits are don’t care.

Interrupt Status Register <15:0>

This register is read-only.

<15>: AGC 5 RSSI Update Interrupt Bit. If the AGC 5 update interrupt enable bit is set, this bit is set by the AD6636 whenever AGC 5 updates a new RSSI word (the new word should be different from the previous word). If the AGC 5 update interrupt enable bit is cleared, then this bit is not set (not updated). An interrupt is not generated in this case.

Note: For Bits <15:10>, no interrupt is generated, if the new RSSI word is the same as the previous RSSI word.

<14>: AGC 4 RSSI Update Interrupt Bit. Similar to Bit <15> for the AGC 4.

<13>: AGC 3 RSSI Update Interrupt Bit. Similar to Bit <15> for the AGC 3.

<12>: AGC 2 RSSI Update Interrupt Bit. Similar to Bit <15> for the AGC 2.

<11>: AGC 1 RSSI Update Interrupt Bit. Similar to Bit <15> for the AGC 1.

<10>: AGC 0 RSSI Update Interrupt Bit. Similar to Bit <15> for the AGC 0.

<9>: Channel 5 Data Ready Interrupt Bit. This bit is set to Logic 1 whenever the channel BIST signature registers are loaded with data. The conditions required for setting this bit are: the channel BIST signature registers is programmed for BIST signature generation and the Channel 5 data ready enable bit in the interrupt enable register is cleared. If the Channel 5 data ready enable bit in the interrupt enable register is set, the

AD6636 does not set this bit on signature generation and an interrupt is not generated.

<8>: Channel 4 Data Ready Interrupt Bit. Similar to Bit <9> for Channel 4.

<7>: Channel 3 Data Ready Interrupt Bit. Similar to Bit <9> for Channel 3.

<6>: Channel 2 Data Ready Interrupt Bit. Similar to Bit <9> for Channel 2.

<5>: Channel 1 Data Ready Interrupt Bit. Similar to Bit <9> for Channel 1.

<4>: Channel 0 Data Ready Interrupt Bit. Similar to Bit <9> for Channel 0.

<3>: ADC Port D Power Monitoring Interrupt Bit. This bit is set by the AD6636 whenever the ADC Port D power monitor interrupt enable bit is set and the Port D power monitor timer runs out (end of the Port D power monitor period). If the ADC Port D power monitoring interrupt enable bit is cleared, the AD6636 does not set this bit and does not generate an interrupt.

Note: In real input CMOS mode, all four input ports exist. In complex input CMOS mode, only ADC Ports A and C function. In real input LVDS mode, only ADC Ports A and C function.

<27>: PN Active Bit. When this bit is set, the pseudorandom number generator is active. When this bit is cleared, the PN generator is disabled and the seed is set to its default value.

This register holds the in-phase signal dc offset correction value for complex data stream when dc correction is enabled. This value should be set manually when automatic correction is disabled.

Port CD, DC Offset Correction Q <15:0>

This register holds the quadrature phase signal dc offset correction value for complex data stream when dc correction is enabled. This value should be set manually when automatic correction is disabled. This 16-bit value is subtracted from the 16-bit ADC Port D data (quadrature phase signal). This data is a don’t care in real input mode.

Port AB, Phase Offset Correction <15:0>

This register holds the phase offset correction value for complex data stream when the AB port phase correction is enabled. This value is set manually when automatic correction is disabled. This value is calculated as tan(phase_mismatch), where phase_mismatch is the mismatch in phase between I (in-phase signal) and Q (quadrature phase signal). This 14-bit value is multiplied with 16-bit Q (quadrature phase signal, Input Port B) and added to 16-bit I (in-phase signal, Input Port A). This data is a don’t care in real input mode.

Port AB, Amplitude Offset Correction <15:0>

This register holds the amplitude offset correction value for complex data stream when the AB port amplitude correction is enabled. This value is set manually when automatic correction is disabled. This value is calculated as (Mag(Q) − Mag(I)), where I is the in-phase signal and Q is the quadrature phase signal. This 14-bit value is multiplied with 16-bit Q (quadrature phase signal, Input Port B) and added to 16-bit Q (quadrature phase signal, Input Port B). This data is a don’t care in real input mode.

Port CD, Phase Offset Correction <15:0>

This register holds the phase offset correction value for the complex data stream when CD port phase correction is enabled. This value should be set manually when automatic correction is disabled. This value should be calculated as tangent (phase_mismatch), where phase_mismatch is the mismatch in phase between I (in-phase signal) and Q (quadrature phase signal).

Port A Gain Control <7:0>

<7>: This bit is open.

<6:1>: This 6-bit word specifies the relinearization pipe delay to be used in the ADC input gain control block. The decimal representation of these bits is the number of input clock cycle pipeline delays between the external EXP data output and the internal application of relinearization based on EXP.

Rev. 0 | Page 61 of 72

AD6636

<0>: Gain Control Enable Bit. This bit controls the configuration of the EXP<2:0> bits for Channel A. When the gain control enable bit is Logic 1, the EXP<2:0> bits are configured as outputs. When this bit is cleared, the EXP<2:0> bits are inputs.

Port A Dwell Timer <19:0>

This register is used to set the dwell time for the gain control block. When gain control block is active and detects a decrease in the signal level below the lower threshold value (programmable), a dwell time counter is initiated to provide temporal hysteresis. Doing so prevents the gain from being switched continuously. Note that the dwell timer is turned on only after a drop below the lower threshold is detected in the signal level.

Port A Power Monitor Period <23:0>

This register is used in the power monitoring logic to set the period of time for which ADC input data is monitored. This value represents the monitor period in number of ADC port clock cycles.

Port A Power Monitor Output <23:0>

This register is read-only and contains the current status of the power monitoring logic output. The output is dependent on the power monitoring mode selected. When the power monitor block is enabled, this register is updated at the end of each power monitor period. This register is updated even if an interrupt signal is not generated.

Port A Upper Threshold <9:0>

This register serves the dual purpose of specifying the upper threshold value in the gain control block and in the power monitoring block, depending on which block is active. Any ADC port input data having a magnitude greater than this value triggers a gain change in the gain control block. Any ADC port input data having a magnitude greater than this value is monitored in the power monitoring block (in peak detect or threshold crossing mode). The value of the register is compared with the absolute magnitude of the input port data. For real input, the absolute magnitude is the same as the input data; for positive and negative data, the absolute magnitude is the value of the data after removing the negative sign.

Port A Lower Threshold <9:0>

This register is used in the gain control block and represents the magnitude of the lower threshold for ADC port input data. Any ADC input data having a magnitude below the lower threshold initiates the dwell time counter. The value of the register is compared with the absolute magnitude of the input port data.

For real input, the absolute magnitude is the same as the input data; for positive and negative data, the absolute magnitude is the value of the data after removing the negative sign.

Port A Signal Monitor <4:0>

This register controls the functions of the power monitoring block.

<4>: Disable Power Monitor Period Timer Bit. When this bit is set, the power monitor period timer no longer controls the update of the power monitor holding register. A user read to the power monitor holding register updates this register. When this bit is cleared, the power monitor period register controls the timer and, therefore, controls the update rate of the power monitor holding register.

<3>: Clear-on-Read Bit. When this bit is set, the power monitor holding register is cleared every time this register is read. This bit controls whether the power monitoring function is cleared after a read of the power monitor period register. If this bit is set, the monitoring function is cleared after the read. If this bit is Logic 0, the monitoring function is not cleared. This bit is a don’t care if the disable integration counter bit is clear.

<2:1>: Monitor Function Select Bits. Table 33 lists the functions of these bits.

Table 33. Monitor Function Select Bits

Monitor Function Select Function Enabled

00 Peak Detect Mode 01 Mean Power Monitor Mode 10 Threshold Crossing Mode 11 Invalid Selection

<0>: Monitor Enable Bit. When this bit is set, the power monitoring function is enabled and operates as selected by Bits <2:1> of the signal monitor register. When this bit is cleared, the power monitoring function is disabled and the signal monitor register <2:1> bits are don’t care. This bit defaults to 0 on power-up.

Note: Gain control, dwell timer, power monitor period, signal monitor, power monitoring output, lower threshold and upper threshold registers for Ports B, C, and D work similarly to the corresponding registers definitions for Port A.

CHANNEL REGISTER MAP

Channel control registers are common to all six channels, and access to specific channels is determined by the channel I/O access register (Address 0x02).

NCO Control <15:0>

These bits control the NCO operation.

<8:7>: NCO Sync Start Select Bits. These bits determine which SYNC input pin is used by this channel for a start synchronization operation. Table 34 describes the selection.

<4>: This bit is open.

<3>: NCO Bypass Bit. When this bit is set, the NCO is bypassed shuts down for power savings. This bit can be used for power savings, when NCO frequency of dc or 0 Hz is required. When this bit is cleared, the NCO operates as programmed.

<2>: Clear NCO Accumulator Bit. When this bit is set, the clear NCO accumulator bit synchronously clears the phase accumulator on all frequency hops in this channel. When this bit is cleared, the accumulator is not cleared and phase continuous hops are implemented.

<1>: Phase Dither Enable Bit. When this bit is set, phase dithering in the NCO is enabled. When this bit is cleared, phase dithering is disabled.

<0>: Amplitude Dither Enable Bit. When this bit is set, amplitude dithering in the NCO is enabled. When this bit is cleared, amplitude dithering is disabled.

Channel Start Hold-Off Counter <15:0>

When a start synchronization (software or hardware) occurs on the channel, the value in this register is loaded into a downcounter. When the counter has finished counting down to 0, the channel operation is started.

NCO Frequency Hop Hold-Off Counter <15:0>

When a hop sync occurs, a counter is loaded with the NCO frequency hold-off register value. The 16-bit counter starts counting down. When it reaches 0, the new frequency value in the shadow register is written to the NCO frequency register. (See the Numerically Controlled Oscillator (NCO) section.)

NCO Frequency <31:0>

The value in this register is used to program the NCO tuning frequency. The value to be programmed is given by the following equation:

NCO Frequency Register =

FREQUENCYNCO _

CLK

× 2

where:

NCO_FREQUENCY is the desired NCO tuning frequency.

CLK is the ADC clock rate.

The value given by the equation should be loaded into the register in binary format.

NCO Phase Offset <15:0>

The value in the register is loaded into the phase accumulator of the NCO block every time a start sync or hop sync is received by the channel. This allows individual channels to be started with a known nonzero phase. The NCO phase offset is not loaded on a hop sync, if Bit <2> of the NCO control register (clear phase accumulator on hop) is cleared. This NCO offset register value is interpreted as a 16-bit unsigned integer. A 0x0000 in this register corresponds to a 0 radian offset, and a 0xFFFF corresponds to an offset of 2π (1 − 1/(2

)) radians.

CIC Bypass <0>

When this bit is set, the entire CIC filter is bypassed. The output of CIC filter is driven straight from the input without any change. When this bit is cleared, the CIC filter operates in normal mode as programmed. Writing Logic 1 to this bit disables both the CIC decimation operation and the CIC scaling operation.

CIC Decimation <4:0>

This 5-bit word specifies the CIC filter decimation value minus

1. A value of 0x00 is a decimation of 1 (bypass), and 0x1F is a decimation of 32. Writing a value of 0 in this register bypasses CIC filtering, but does not bypass the CIC scaling operation.

CIC Scale Factor <4:0>

This 5-bit word specifies the CIC filter scale factor used to compensate for the gain provided by the CIC filter. The recommended value is given by the following equation:

CIC Scale Register = ceil(5 × log

)) − 5

CIC

where:

is the decimation rate of the CIC (one more than the value

CIC

in the CIC decimation register).

ceil operation gives the closest integer greater than or equal to the argument.

The valid range for this register is decimal 0 to 20.

FIR-HB Control <3:0>

<3>: FIR1 Enable Bit. When this bit is set, the FIR1 fixedcoefficient filter is enabled. When cleared, FIR1 is bypassed.

<2>: HB1 Enable Bit. When this bit is set, the HB1 half-band filter is enabled. When cleared, HB1 is bypassed.

<1>: FIR2 Enable Bit. When this bit is set, the FIR2 fixedcoefficient filter is enabled. When cleared, FIR2 is bypassed.

<0>: HB2 Enable bit. When this bit is set, the HB2 half-band filter is enabled. When cleared, HB2 is bypassed.

AD6636

MRCF Control Register <12:0>

<12:10>: MRCF Data Select Bits. These bits are used to select the input source for the MRCF filter. Each MRCF filter can be driven by output from the HB2 filter of any channel independently. Table 36 shows the selections available.

<9>: Interpolating Half-Band Enable Bit. When this bit is set, the interpolating half-band filter, driven by the output of the CRCF block, is enabled. When cleared, the interpolating halfband filter is bypassed and its output is the same as its input. The interpolating half-band filter doubles the data rate.

<8>: This bit is open.

<7>: Half-Rate Bit. When this bit is set, the MRCF filter operates using half the PLL clock rate. This is used for power savings when there is sufficient time to complete MRCF filtering using only half the PLL clock rate. When this bit is cleared, the MRCF filter operates at the full PLL clock rate. (See the Mono-Rate RAM Coefficient Filter section.)

<6:4>: MRCF Number of Taps Bits. This 3-bit word should be written with one less than the number of taps that are calculated by the MRCF filter. The filter length is given by the decimal value of this register plus 1. A value of 0 represents a 1-tap filter and maximum value of 7 represents an 8-tap filter.

<3:2>: MRCF Scale Factor Bits. The output of the MRCF filter is scaled according to the value of these bits. Table 37 describes the attenuation corresponding to each setting.

Table 37. MRCF Scale Factor

MRCF Scale<1:0> Scale Factor

00 18.06 dB attenuation (left-shift 3 bits) 01 12.04 dB attenuation (left-shift 2 bits) 10 6.02 dB attenuation (left-shift 1 bit) 11 No Scaling (0 dB)

<1>: This bit is open.

<0>: MRCF Bypass Bit. When this bit is set, the MRCF filter is bypassed and, therefore, the output of the MRCF is the same as its input. When this bit is cleared, the MRCF has normal operation as programmed by its control register.

MRCF Coefficient Memory

The MRCF coefficient memory consists of eight coefficients, each six bits wide. The memory extends from Address 0x80 to Address 0x87. The coefficients should be written in twos complement format.

DRCF Control Register <11:0>

<11>: DRCF Bypass Bit. When this bit is set, the DRCF filter is bypassed and, therefore, its output is the same as its input. When this bit is cleared, the DRCF has normal operation as programmed by the rest of this control register.

<10>: Symmetry Bit. When this bit is set, it indicates that the DRCF is implementing a symmetrical filter and only half the impulse response needs to be written into the DRCF coefficient RAM. When this bit is cleared, the filter is asymmetrical and complete impulse response of the filter should be written to the coefficient RAM. When this filter is symmetrical, it can implement up to 128 filter taps.

<9:8>: DRCF Multiply Accumulate Scale Bits.The output of the DRCF filter is scaled according to the value of these bits. Table 38 lists the attenuation corresponding to each setting.

Table 38. DRCF Multiply Accumulate Scale Bits

DRCF Scale<1:0> Scale Factor

00 18.06 dB attenuation (left-shift 3 bits) 01 12.04 dB attenuation (left-shift 2 bits) 10 6.02 dB attenuation (left-shift 1 bit) 11 No Scaling (0 dB)

<7:4>: DRCF Decimation Rate. This 4-bit word should be written with one less than the decimation rate of the DRCF filter. A value of 0 represents a decimation rate of 1 (no rate change), and the maximum value of 15 represents a decimation of 16. Filtering can be implemented irrespective of the decimation rate.

<3:0>: DRCF Decimation Phase Bits. This 4-bit word represents the decimation phase used by the DRCF filter. The valid range is 0 up to M

− 1, where M

DRCF

is the decimation rate of the

DRCF

DRCF filter. This word is primarily used for synchronization of multiple channels of the AD6636, when more than one channel is used for filtering one signal (one carrier).

DRCF Coefficient Offset <7:0>

This register is used to specify which section of the 64-word coefficient memory is used for a filter. It can be used to select between multiple filters that are loaded into memory and referenced by this pointer. This register is shadowed, and the filter pointer is updated every time a new filter is started. This allows the coefficient offset to be written even while a filter is being computed without disturbing operation. The next sample comes out of the DRCF with the new filter.

AD6636

DRCF Taps <6:0>

This register is written with one less than the number of taps that are calculated by the DRCF filter. The filter length is given by the decimal value of this register plus 1. A value of 0 represents a 1-tap filter, and a value of 0x28 (40 decimal) represents a 41-tap filter.

DRCF Start Address <5:0>

This register is written with the starting address of the DRCF coefficient memory to be updated.

DRCF Final Address <5:0>

This register is written with the ending address of the DRCF coefficient memory to be updated.

DRCF Coefficient Memory <13:0>

DRCF Memory. This memory consists of 64 words, and each word is 14 bits wide. The data written to this memory space is expected to be 14-bit, twos complement format. See the

Decimating RAM Coefficient Filter section for the method to program the coefficients into the coefficient memory.

CRCF Control Register <11:0>

<11>: CRCF Bypass Bit. When this bit is set, the DRCF filter is bypassed and, therefore, its output is the same as its input. When this bit is cleared, the CRCF has normal operation as programmed by its control register.

<10>: Symmetry Bit. When this bit is set, it indicates that the CRCF is implementing a symmetrical filter and only half the impulse response needs to be written into the CRCF coefficient RAM. When this bit is cleared, the filter is asymmetrical and the complete impulse response of the filter should be written into the coefficient RAM. When this filter is symmetrical, it can implement up to 128 filter taps.

<9:8>: CRCF Multiply Accumulate Scale Bits. The output of the CRCF filter is scaled according to the value of these bits. Table 39 lists the attenuation corresponding to each setting.

Table 39. CRCF Multiply Accumulate Scale Bits

CRCF Scale<1:0> Scale Factor

00 18.06 dB attenuation (left-shift 3 bits) 01 12.04 dB attenuation (left-shift 2 bits) 10 6.02 dB attenuation (left-shift 1 bit) 11 No Scaling (0 dB)

<7:4>: CRCF Decimation Rate. This 4-bit word should be written with one less than the decimation rate of the CRCF filter. A value of 0 represents a decimation rate of 1 (no rate change) and the maximum value of 15 represents a decimation of 16. Filtering operation is done irrespective of the decimation rate.

<3:0>: CRCF Decimation Phase. This 4-bit word represents the decimation phase used by the CRCF filter. The valid range is 0 to M

− 1, where M

CRCF

is the decimation rate of the CRCF

CRCF

filter. This word is primarily used for synchronization of multiple channels of the AD6636, when more than one channel is used for filtering one signal (one carrier).

CRCF Coefficient Offset <5:0>

CRCF Taps <6:0>

This register is written with one less than the number of taps that are calculated by the CRCF filter. The filter length is given by the decimal value of this register plus 1. A value of 0 represents a 1-tap filter, and a value of 0x28 (40 decimal) represents a 41-tap filter.

CRCF Coefficient Memory

CRCF Memory. This memory has 64 words that have 20 bits each. The memory contains the CRCF filter coefficients. The data written to this memory space is 20-bit in twos complement format. See the Channel RAM Coefficient Filter section for the method to program the coefficients into the coefficient memory.

AGC Control Register <10:0>

<10>: Channel Sync Select Bit. When this bit is set, the AGC uses the sync signal from the channel for its synchronization. When this bit is cleared, the SYNC pin used for synchronization is defined by Bits <9:8> of this register.

<9:8>: SYNC Pin Select Bits. When Bit <10> of this register is cleared, these bits specify the SYNC pin used by AGC for synchronization. These bits are don’t care when Bit <10> of the AGC control register is set to Logic 1.

<7:5>: AGC Word Length Control Bits. These bits define the word length of the AGC output. The output word can be 4 to 8, 10, 12, or 16 bits wide. Table 41 shows the possible selections.

Table 41. AGC Word Length Control Bits

<4>: AGC Mode Bit. When this bit is set, the AGC operates to maintain a desired signal level. When this bit is cleared, it operates to maintain a constant clipping level. See the Automatic Gain Control section for details about these modes.

<3>: AGC Sync Now Bit. This bit is used to synchronize a particular AGC irrespective of the channel through the programming ports (microport or serial port). When this bit is set, the AGC block updates a new output sample (RSSI sample) and starts working toward a new update sample.

<2>: Initialize on Sync Bit. This bit is used to determine whether or not the AGC should initialize on a sync. When this bit is set, during a synchronization the CIC filter is cleared and new values for CIC decimation, number of averaging samples, CIC scale, signal gain Gs’ gain K, and pole parameter P are loaded. When Bit <2> = 0, the above-mentioned parameters are not updated, and the CIC filter is not cleared. In both cases an AGC update sample is output from the CIC filter and the decimator starts operating towards the next output sample whenever a sync occurs.

<1>: First Sync Only. This bit is used to ignore repetitive synchronization signals. In some applications, the synchronization signal occurs periodically. If this bit is cleared, each synchronization request resynchronizes the AGC. If this bit is set, only the first occurrence causes the AGC to synchronize and updates the AGC gain values periodically, depending on the decimation factor of the AGC CIC filter.

<0>: AGC Bypass Bit. When this bit is set, the AGC section is bypassed. The N-bit representation from the interpolating halfband filters is still reduced to a lower bit width representation as set by Bits <7:5> of the AGC control register. A truncation at the output of the AGC accomplishes this task.

AGC Hold-Off Register <15:0>

The AGC hold-off counter is loaded with the value written to this address when either a soft sync or pin sync comes into the channel. The counter begins counting down. When it reaches 1, a sync is sent to the AGC. This sync might or might not

initialize the AGC, as defined by the control word. The AGC loop is updated with a new sample from the CIC filter whenever a sync occurs. If this register is Logic 1, the AGC is updated immediately when the sync occurs. If this register Logic 0, the AGC cannot be synchronized.

AGC Update Decimation <11:0>

This 12-bit register sets the AGC decimation ratio from 1 to

4096. An appropriate scaling factor should be set to avoid loss of bits. The decimation ratio is given by the decimal value of the AGC update decimation<11:0> register contents plus 1, that is, 12’0x000 describes a decimation ratio of 1, and 12’0xFFF describes a decimation ratio of 4096.

AGC Signal Gain <11:0>

This register is used to set the initial value for a signal gain used in the gain multiplier. This 12-bit value sets the initial signal gain in the range of 0 dB and 96.296 dB in steps of 0.024 dB. Initial signal gain (SG) in dB should be converted to a register setting using the following formula:

⎡

⎢

⎣

×256

)2(log20

⎤ ⎥ ⎦

AGC Error Threshold <11:0>

This 12-bit register is the comparison value used to determine which loop gain value (K

or K2) to use for optimum operation.

When the magnitude-of-error signal is less than the AGC error threshold value, then K

is used; otherwise, K2 is used. The word

format of the AGC error threshold register is four bits to the left of the binary point and eight bits to the right. See the Automatic Gain Control section for details.

This 6-bit register contains the scale used for the CIC filter and the number of power samples to be averaged before being sent to the CIC filter.

<5:2>: CIC Scale. This 4-bit word defines the scale used for the CIC filter. Each increment of this word increases the CIC scale by 6.02 dB.

AGC Pole Location <7:0>

This 8-bit register is used to define the open-loop filter pole location P. Its value can be set from 0 to 0.996 in steps of 0.0039. This value of P is updated in the AGC loop each time the AGC is initialized. This open-loop pole location directly impacts the closed-loop pole locations, as explained in the Automatic Gain Control section.

AGC Desired Level <7:0>

This register contains the desired signal level or desired clipping level, depending on operational mode. This desired request level (R) can be set in dB from 0 to 23.99 in steps of 0.094 dB. The request level (R) in dB should be converted to a register setting using the following formula:

This 8-bit register is used to define the open-loop gain K1. Its value can be set from 0 to 0.996 in steps of 0.0039. This value of K is updated in the AGC loop each time the AGC is initialized. When the magnitude-of-error signal in the loop is less than the AGC error threshold, then K

is used by the loop. K1 is updated

only when the AGC is initialized.

I Path Signature Register <15:0>

This 16-bit signature register is for the I path of the channel logic. The signature register records data on the networks that leave the channel logic, just before entering the second data router.

Q Path Signature Register <15:0>

This 16-bit signature register is for the Q path of the channel logic. The signature register records data on the networks that leave the channel logic, just before entering the second data router.

BIST Control <23:0>

<15>: Disable Signature Generation Bit. When this bit is active high, the signature registers do not produce a pseudorandom output value, but instead directly load the 24-bit input data. When this bit is cleared, the signature register produces a pseudorandom output for every clock cycle that it is active. See the User-Configurable Built-In Self-Test (BIST) section for details.

<14:0>: BIST Timer Bits. The <14:0> bits of this register form a 15-bit word that is loaded into the BIST timer. After loading the BIST timer, the signature register is enabled for operation while the timer is actively counting down. (See the User-Configurable Built-In Self-Test (BIST) section.)

OUTPUT PORT REGISTER MAP

This part of the memory map deals with the output data and controls for parallel output ports.

Parallel Port Output Control <31:0>

<23>: Port C Append RSSI Bit. When this bit is set, an RSSI word is appended to every I/Q output sample, irrespective of whether the RSSI word is updated in the AGC.

AD6636

DESIGN NOTES

The following guidelines describe circuit connections, layout requirements, and programming procedures for the AD6636. The designer should review these guidelines before starting the system design and layout.

The AD6636 requires the following power-up sequence: The

•

VDDCORE (1.8 V) must settle into nominal voltage levels before the VDDIO attains the minimum. This ensures that, on power-up, the JTAG does not take control of the I/O pins.

Input clocks (CLKA, CLKB, CLKC, CLKD) and input port

•

pins (INA[15:0] to IND[15:0], EXPA[2:0] to EXPD[2:0]) are not 5 V tolerant. Care should be taken to drive these pins within the limits of VDDIO (3.0 V to 3.6 V).

When the ADC output has less than 16 bits of resolution,

•

it should be connected to the MSBs of the input port (MSBjustified). The remaining LSBs should be connected to ground.

The number format used in this part is twos complement.

•

All input ports and output ports use twos complement data format. The formats for individual internal registers are given in the memory map description of these registers.

• By default, the PLL CLK is disabled. It can be enabled by

programming the PLL multiplier and divider bits in the ADC CLK control register. When the PLL CLK is enabled by programming this register, it takes about 50 to 200 µs to settle down. While the PLL loop settles down, the voltage at the EXT_FILTER pin increases from 0 V to VDDCORE (1.8 V) and settles there. Channel registers and output port registers (Addresses 0x68 to 0xE7) should not be programmed before the PLL loop settles down.

The LVDS_RSET pin is used to calibrate the current in the

•

LVDS pads. The recommended circuit for this pin is shown in Figure 52. This resistor should be placed as close as possible to the AD6636 part. This resistor is not required, if CMOS mode input is used.

•

In both microport and serial port operation, the

DTACK

(RDY, SDO) pin is an open-drain output and, therefore, should be pulled high externally using a pull-up resister. The recommended value for the pull-up resistor is from 1 kΩ and 5 kΩ.

balance the internal RC circuit on this pin and maintain a good PLL clock lock. The recommended circuit is shown in Figure 51, with the RC circuit connected to VDDCORE. This RC circuit should be placed as close as possible to the AD6636 part. This layout ensures that the PLL clock is void of noise and spurs and the PLL lock is maintained closely.

The CPUCLK (SCLK) is the clock used for programming

•

via the microport (serial port). This clock needs to be provided by the designer to the part (slave clock). The designer should ensure that this clock’s frequency is less than or equal to the frequency of the CLKA signal. Additionally, the frequency of the CPUCLK (SCLK) should always be less than 100 MHz.

CLKA, CLKB, CLKC, and CLKD are used as individual

•

clocks to input data into Input Ports A, B, C, and D, respectively. All these clocks are required to have same frequency and should ideally be generated from the same clock source. Note that CLKA is used to drive the internal circuitry and the PLL clock multiplier. Therefore, even if Input Port A is not used, CLKA should be driven by the input clock.

The microport data bus is 16 bits wide. Both 8-bit and 16 bit

•

modes are available using this part. If 8-bit mode is used, the MSB of the data bus (D[15:8]) can be left floating or connected to GND.

The output parallel port has a one clock cycle overhead. If

•

two channels (with the same data rates) are output on one output port in 16-bit interleaved I/Q mode along with an AGC word, this requires three clock cycles for one sample from each channel (one clock each for I data, Q data, and gain data).

The number of clock cycles required for each channel can be 3 (interleaved I + Q + gain word), or 2 (parallel I /Q + gain) or 2 (interleaved I + Q) or 1 (interleaved I/Q). Designers should make sure that sufficient time is allowed to output these channels on one output port. Also note that the I, Q, and gain for a particular channel all come out on a single output port and cannot be divided among output ports.

When CRCF and DRCF filters are disabled, the coefficient

memory cannot be read back, because the clock to the coefficient RAM is also cut off.

In both Intel and Motorola modes, if

This can be fixed by writing to one coefficient RAM address at a time, that is, the coefficient start and stop address registers have the same value.
