GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD6649 is a mixed-signal intermediate frequency (IF) receiver
consisting of dual 14-bit, 250 MSPS ADCs and a wideband digital
downconverter (DDC). The AD6649 is designed to support
communications applications, where low cost, small size, wide
bandwidth, and versatility are desired.
The dual ADC cores feature a multistage, differential pipelined
architecture with integrated output error correction logic. Each
ADC features wide bandwidth inputs supporting a variety of
user-selectable input ranges. An integrated voltage reference
eases design considerations. A duty cycle stabilizer is provided to
compensate for variations in the ADC clock duty cycle, allowing
the converters to maintain excellent performance.

Data Sheet AD6649
ADC data outputs are internally connected directly to the digital
downconverter (DDC) of the receiver. The digital receiver has
two channels and provides processing flexibility. Each receive
channel has four cascaded signal processing stages: a 32-bit
frequency translator (numerically controlled oscillator (NCO)),
an optional sample rate converter, a fixed FIR filter, and an f
/4
S
fixed-frequency NCO.
In addition to the receiver DDC, the AD6649 has several
functions that simplify the automatic gain control (AGC)
function in the system receiver. The programmable threshold
detector allows monitoring of the incoming signal power using
the fast detect output bits of the ADC. If the input signal level
exceeds the programmable threshold, the fast detect indicator goes
high. Because this threshold indicator has low latency, the user
can quickly turn down the system gain to avoid an overrange
condition at the ADC input.
After digital processing, data is routed directly to the 14-bit
output port. These outputs operate at ANSI or reduced swing
LVDS signal levels.
The AD6649 receiver digitizes a wide spectrum of IF frequencies.
Each receiver is designed for simultaneous reception of the main
channel and the diversity channel. This IF sampling architecture
greatly reduces component cost and complexity compared with
traditional analog techniques or less integrated digital methods.
In diversity applications, the output data format is real due to
the final NCO, which shifts the output center frequency to f
S
/4.
Flexible power-down options allow significant power savings,
when desired.
Programming for setup and control is accomplished using a 3-pin
SPI-compatible serial interface.
The AD6649 is available in a 64-lead LFCSP and is specified over
the industrial temperature range of −40°C to +85°C. This
product is protected by a U.S. patent.

Data Sheet AD6649
THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD6649 has two analog input channels, two filter channels,
and two digital output channels. The intermediate frequency
(IF) input signal passes through several stages before appearing
at the output port(s) as a filtered and optionally decimated
digital signal.
The dual ADC design can be used for diversity reception of signals,
where the ADCs operate identically on the same carrier but from
two separate antennae. The ADCs can also be operated with
independent analog inputs. The user can sample frequencies
from dc to 300 MHz using appropriate low-pass or band-pass
filtering at the ADC inputs with little loss in ADC performance.
Operation to 400 MHz analog input is permitted but occurs at
the expense of increased ADC noise and distortion.
Synchronization capability is provided to allow synchronized
timing between multiple devices.
Programming and control of the AD6649 are accomplished
using a 3-pin SPI-compatible serial interface.
ADC ARCHITECTURE
The AD6649 architecture consists of a dual front-end sampleand-hold circuit, followed by a pipelined switched-capacitor
ADC. The quantized outputs from each stage are combined into
a final 14-bit result in the digital correction logic. The pipelined
architecture permits the first stage to operate on a new input
sample and the remaining stages to operate on the preceding
samples. Sampling occurs on the rising edge of the clock.
Each stage of the pipeline, excluding the last, consists of a low
resolution flash ADC connected to a switched-capacitor digitalto-analog converter (DAC) and an interstage residue amplifier
(MDAC). The MDAC magnifies the difference between the reconstructed DAC output and the flash input for the next stage in
the pipeline. One bit of redundancy is used in each stage to
facilitate digital correction of flash errors. The last stage simply
consists of a flash ADC.
The input stage of each channel contains a differential sampling
circuit that can be ac- or dc-coupled in differential or singleended modes. The output staging block aligns the data, corrects
errors, and passes the data to the output buffers. The output buffers
are powered from a separate supply, allowing digital output noise to
be separated from the analog core. During power-down, the
output buffers go into a high impedance state.
ANALOG INPUT CONSIDERATIONS
The analog input to the AD6649 is a differential switchedcapacitor circuit that has been designed for optimum performance
while processing a differential input signal.
The clock signal alternatively switches the input between sample
mode and hold mode (see the configuration shown in Figure 26).
When the input is switched into sample mode, the signal source
must be capable of charging the sampling capacitors and settling
within 1/2 clock cycle.
A small resistor in series with each input can help reduce the
peak transient current required from the output stage of the
driving source. A shunt capacitor can be placed across the
inputs to provide dynamic charging currents. This passive
network creates a low-pass filter at the ADC input; therefore,
the precise values are dependent on the application.
In intermediate frequency (IF) undersampling applications, the
shunt capacitors should be reduced. In combination with the
driving source impedance, the shunt capacitors limit the input
bandwidth. Refer to the AN-742 Application Note, Frequency Domain Response of Switched-Capacitor ADCs; the AN-827
Application Note, A Resonant Approach to Interfacing Amplifiers to
Switched-Capacitor ADCs; and the Analog Dialogue article,
“Transformer-Coupled Front-End for Wideband A/D Converters,”
for more information on this subject.
Figure 26. Switched-Capacitor Input
For best dynamic performance, the source impedances driving
VIN+ and VIN− should be matched, and the inputs should be
differentially balanced.
Input Common Mode
The analog inputs of the AD6649 are not internally dc biased.
In ac-coupled applications, the user must provide this bias
externally. Setting the device so that V
= 0.5 × AVDD (or
CM
0.9 V) is recommended for optimum performance. An on-board
common-mode voltage reference is included in the design and is
available from the VCM pin. Using the VCM output to set the
input common mode is recommended. Optimum performance
is achieved when the common-mode voltage of the analog input
is set by the VCM pin voltage (typically 0.5 × AVDD). The
VCM pin must be decoupled to ground by a 0.1 µF capacitor, as
described in the Applications Information section. This
decoupling capacitor should be placed close to the pin to
minimize the series resistance and inductance between the part
and this capacitor.

Differential Input Configurations
Optimum performance is achieved while driving the AD6649
in a differential input configuration. For baseband applications,
the AD8138, ADA4937-2, ADA4938-2, and ADA4930-2
differential drivers provide excellent performance and a flexible
interface to the ADC.
The output common-mode voltage of the ADA4930-2 is easily
set with the VCM pin of the AD6649 (see Figure 27), and the
driver can be configured in a Sallen-Key filter topology to
provide band-limiting of the input signal.
At input frequencies in the second Nyquist zone and above, the
noise performance of most amplifiers is not adequate to achieve
the true SNR performance of the AD6649. For applications where
SNR is a key parameter, differential double balun coupling is
the recommended input configuration (see Figure 30). In this
configuration, the input is ac-coupled and the CML is provided
to each input through a 33 Ω resistor. These resistors compensate
for losses in the input baluns to provide a 50 Ω impedance to
the dr i ver.
In the double balun and transformer configurations, the value of
the input capacitors and resistors is dependent on the input frequency and source impedance. Based on these parameters the
value of the input resistors and capacitors may need to be
adjusted or some components may need to be removed. Table 9
displays recommended values to set the RC network for different
input frequency ranges. However, these values are dependent on
the input signal and bandwidth and should be used only as a
starting guide. Note that the values given in Tabl e 9 are for each
R1, R2, C2, and R3 component shown in Figure 28 and Figure 30.
Figure 27. Differential Input Configuration Using the ADA4930-2
For baseband applications where SNR is a key parameter,
differential transformer coupling is the recommended input
configuration. An example is shown in Figure 28. To b i as the
analog input, the VCM voltage can be connected to the center
tap of the secondary winding of the transformer.
The signal characteristics must be considered when selecting
a transformer. Most RF transformers saturate at frequencies
below a few megahertz. Excessive signal power can also cause
core saturation, which leads to distortion.

An alternative to using a transformer-coupled input at frequencies
in the second Nyquist zone is to use an amplifier with variable
gain. The AD8375 or AD8376 digital variable gain amplifier
(DVGAs) provides good performance for driving the AD6649.
Figure 29 shows an example of the AD8376 driving the AD6649
through a band-pass antialiasing filter.
Figure 29. Differential Input Configuration Using the AD8376
A stable and accurate voltage reference is built into the AD6649.
The full-scale input range can be adjusted by varying the reference
voltage via SPI. The input span of the ADC tracks reference voltage
changes linearly.
CLOCK INPUT CONSIDERATIONS
For optimum performance, the AD6649 sample clock inputs,
CLK+ and CLK−, should be clocked with a differential signal.
The signal is typically ac-coupled into the CLK+ and CLK− pins
via a transformer or via capacitors. These pins are biased
internally (see Figure 31) and require no external bias. If the
inputs are floated, the CLK− pin is pulled low to prevent spurious
clocking.
Figure 33. Balun-Coupled Differential Clock (Up to 625 MHz)
If a low jitter clock source is not available, another option is to
ac couple a differential PECL signal to the sample clock input pins
as shown in Figure 34. The AD9510, AD9511, AD9512, AD9513,
The AD6649 has a very flexible clock input structure. Clock
input can be a CMOS, LVDS, LVPECL, or sine wave signal.
Regardless of the type of signal being used, clock source jitter
is of the most concern, as described in the Jitter Considerations
section.
Figure 32 and Figure 33 show two preferable methods for clocking
the AD6649 (at clock rates of up to 625 MHz). A low jitter clock
source is converted from a single-ended signal to a differential
signal using an RF balun or RF transformer.
The RF balun configuration is recommended for clock frequencies
between 125 MHz and 625 MHz, and the RF transformer is recommended for clock frequencies from 10 MHz to 200 MHz. The
back-to-back Schottky diodes across the transformer secondary
limit clock excursions into the AD6649 to approximately 0.8 V p-p
differential. This limit helps prevent the large voltage swings of
the clock from feeding through to other portions of the AD6649
while preserving the fast rise and fall times of the signal, which
are critical to low jitter performance.
Figure 34. Differential PECL Sample Clock (Up to 625 MHz)
A third option is to ac-couple a differential LVDS signal to the
sample clock input pins, as shown in Figure 35. The AD9510,
AD9511, AD9512, AD9513, AD9514, AD9515, AD9516, AD9517,
AD9518, AD9520, AD9522, AD9523, and AD9524 clock drivers
offer excellent jitter performance.
Figure 35. Differential LVDS Sample Clock (Up to 625 MHz)
Input Clock Divider
The AD6649 contains an input clock divider with the ability to
divide the input clock by integer values between 1 and 8. The
duty cycle stabilizer (DCS) is enabled by default on power-up.
The AD6649 clock divider can be synchronized using the external
SYNC input. Bit 1 and Bit 2 of Register 0x3A allow the clock
divider to be resynchronized on every SYNC signal or only on
the first SYNC signal after the register is written. A valid SYNC
causes the clock divider to reset to its initial state. This synchronization feature allows multiple parts to have their clock dividers
aligned to guarantee simultaneous input sampling.

Clock Duty Cycle
Typical high speed ADCs use both clock edges to generate a
variety of internal timing signals and, as a result, may be sensitive to
clock duty cycle. Commonly, a ±5% tolerance is required on the
clock duty cycle to maintain dynamic performance characteristics.
The AD6649 contains a duty cycle stabilizer (DCS) that retimes
the nonsampling (falling) edge, providing an internal clock
signal with a nominal 50% duty cycle. This allows the user to
provide a wide range of clock input duty cycles without affecting
the performance of the AD6649.
Jitter on the rising edge of the input clock is still of paramount
concern and is not reduced by the duty cycle stabilizer. The duty
cycle control loop does not function for clock rates less than
40 MHz nominally. The loop has a time constant associated
with it that must be considered when the clock rate can change
dynamically. A wait time of 1.5 µs to 5 µs is required after a
dynamic clock frequency increase or decrease before the DCS
loop is relocked to the input signal. During the time period that
the loop is not locked, the DCS loop is bypassed, and internal
device timing is dependent on the duty cycle of the input clock
signal. In such applications, it may be appropriate to disable the
duty cycle stabilizer. In all other applications, enabling the DCS
circuit is recommended to maximize ac performance.
Jitter Considerations
High speed, high resolution ADCs are sensitive to the quality of
the clock input. The degradation in SNR at a given input

In the equation, the rms aperture jitter represents the rootmean-square of all jitter sources, which include the clock input,
the analog input signal, and the ADC aperture jitter specification.
IF undersampling applications are particularly sensitive to jitter,

The clock input should be treated as an analog signal in cases
where aperture jitter may affect the dynamic range of the AD6649.

ADC output driver supplies to avoid modulating the clock signal
with digital noise. Low jitter, crystal controlled oscillators make
the best clock sources. If the clock is generated from another type
of source (by gating, dividing, or another method), it should be
retimed by the original clock at the last step.
Refer to the AN-501 Application Note, Aperture Uncertainty and ADC System Performance, and the AN-756 Application
Note, Sampled Systems and the Effects of Clock Phase Noise and
Jitter, for more information about jitter performance as it relates
to ADCs.
POWER DISSIPATION AND STANDBY MODE
As shown in Figure 37, the power dissipated by the AD6649 is
proportional to its sample rate. The data in Figure 37 was taken
using the same operating conditions as those used for the Typi ca l
Performance Characteristics.
]
Figure 37. AD6649 Power and Current vs. Sample Rate
By asserting PDWN (either through the SPI port or by asserting
the PDWN pin high), the AD6649 is placed in power-down
mode. In this state, the ADC typically dissipates 10 mW. During
power-down, the output drivers are placed in a high impedance
state. Asserting the PDWN pin low returns the AD6649 to its
normal operating mode. Note that PDWN is referenced to the
digital output driver supply (DRVDD) and should not exceed
that supply voltage.
Low power dissipation in power-down mode is achieved by
shutting down the reference, reference buffer, biasing networks,
and clock. Internal capacitors are discharged when entering
power-down mode and then must be recharged when returning
to normal operation. As a result, wake-up time is related to the
time spent in power-down mode, and shorter power-down
cycles result in proportionally shorter wake-up times.
When using the SPI port interface, the user can place the ADC
in power-down mode or standby mode. Standby mode allows
the user to keep the internal reference circuitry powered when
faster wake-up times are required. See the Memory Map Register
Description section and the AN-877 Application Note, Inter facingto High Speed ADCs via SPI, for additional details.

DIGITAL OUTPUTS
The AD6649 output drivers can be configured for either ANSI
LVDS or reduced drive LVDS using a 1.8 V DRVDD supply.
As detailed in the AN-877 Application Note, Interfacing to High Speed ADCs via SPI, the data format can be selected for offset
binary, twos complement, or gray code when using the SPI
control.
Digital Output Enable Function (OEB)
The AD6649 has a flexible three-state ability for the digital
output pins. The three-state mode is enabled using the OEB pin
or through the SPI interface. If the OEB pin is low, the output
data drivers are enabled. If the OEB pin is high, the output data
drivers are placed in a high impedance state. This OEB function
is not intended for rapid access to the data bus. Note that OEB
is referenced to the digital output driver supply (DRVDD) and
should not exceed that supply voltage.
When using the SPI interface, the data and fast detect outputs of
each channel can be independently three-stated by using the
output enable bar bit (Bit 4) in Register 0x14. Because the
output data is interleaved, if only one of the two channels is
disabled, the data of the remaining channel is repeated in both
the rising and falling output clock cycles.
Timing
The AD6649 provides latched data with a pipeline delay of 23 or 43
input sample clock cycles, depending on the mode of operation.
Data outputs are available one propagation delay (t
rising edge of the clock signal.
The length of the output data lines and loads placed on them
should be minimized to reduce transients within the AD6649.
These transients can degrade converter dynamic performance.
The lowest typical conversion rate of the AD6649 is 40 MSPS. At
clock rates below 40 MSPS, dynamic performance may degrade.

The AD6649 also provides data clock output (DCO) intended
for capturing the data in an external registe r. Figure 2 shows a

OVERRANGE (OR)
The overrange indicator is asserted when an overrange is
detected on the input of the AD6649. The overrange condition
is determined at the output of the pipeline ADC and, therefore,
is subject to a latency of 10 ADC clocks. An overrange at the input
is indicated by this bit, 10 clock cycles after it occurs.

DIGITAL PROCESSING
The AD6649 includes a digital processing section that provides
filtering. This digital processing section includes a numerically
controlled oscillator (NCO), a selectable FIR filter (high performance or low latency), and a second coarse NCO (f
/4 fixed
S
value) for output frequency translation (complex to real). These
blocks can be configured in several modes to implement a
signal processing function. Refer to Figure 1 for the functional
block diagram of the AD6649.
NUMERICALLY CONTROLLED OSCILLATOR (NCO)
Frequency translation is accomplished with an NCO shared
between the two channels. Amplitude and phase dither can be
enabled on chip to improve the noise and spurious performance of
the NCO.
Because the filtering prevents usage of part of the Nyquist
spectrum, a means is needed to translate the sampled input
spectrum into the usable range of the decimation filter. To
achieve this, a 32-bit, tuning, complex NCO is provided. This
NCO/mixer allows the input spectrum to be tuned to dc, where
it can be effectively filtered by the subsequent filter blocks to
prevent aliasing.
When using the low latency FIR, the NCO must be tuned to f
(0x40000000). This prevents unwanted aliases from falling back
into the band of interest.
/4
S
Two fixed-coefficient FIR filters provide filtering capability. A
low latency FIR or a high performance FIR can be selected. It
removes the negative frequency images to avoid aliasing negative
frequencies for real outputs. Figure 38, Figure 39, and Figure 40
show the progression of a 95 MHz bandwidth signal through the
filter stages when using the fixed-frequency NCO and 95 MHz FIR
filter with a sample rate of 245.76 MSPS. The tunable-frequency
NCO can be used instead and operates in a similar fashion. In
these modes, the output is centered at 61.44 MHz, assuming a
245.76 MSPS sample rate.
fS/4 FIXED-FREQUENCY NCO
A fixed-frequency fS/4 NCO is provided to translate the filtered,
decimated signal from dc to f
NCO is required in all operation modes because complex
output from the part is not supported.

NUMERICALLY CONTROLLED OSCILLATOR (NCO)
FREQUENCY TRANSLATION
This processing stage comprises a digital tuner consisting of
a 32-bit complex numerically controlled oscillator (NCO). The
NCO is always enabled. This NCO block accepts a real input
from the ADC stage and outputs a frequency translated
complex (I and Q) output.
The NCO frequency is programmed in Register 0x52 through
Register 0x55. These four 8-bit registers make up a 32-bit
unsigned frequency programming word. Frequencies between
−CLK/2 and +CLK/2 are represented using the following
frequency words:
• 0x80000000 represents a frequency given by −CLK/2.
• 0x00000000 represents dc (frequency = 0 Hz).
• 0x7FFFFFFF represents CLK/2 − CLK/2
Use the following equation to calculate the NCO frequency:
where:
NCO_FREQ is a 32-bit twos complement number representing
the NCO frequency register.
f is the desired carrier frequency in hertz.

is the AD6649 ADC clock rate in hertz.

NCO SYNCHRONIZATION
The AD6649 NCOs within a single part or across multiple parts
can be synchronized using the external SYNC input. Bit 0 and
Bit 1 of Register 0x58 allow the NCO to be resynchronized on
every SYNC signal or only on the first SYNC signal after the
register is written. A valid SYNC causes the NCO to restart at
the programmed phase offset value.
NCO AMPLITUDE AND PHASE DITHER
The NCO block contains amplitude and phase dither to improve
the spurious performance. Amplitude dither improves performance by randomizing the amplitude quantization errors within
the angular-to-Cartesian conversion of the NCO. This option
reduces spurs at the expense of a slightly raised noise floor. With
amplitude dither enabled, the NCO has an SNR of greater than
93 dB and an SFDR of greater than 115 dB. With amplitude dither
disabled, the SNR is increased to greater than 96 dB at the cost
of SFDR performance, which is reduced to 100 dB. The NCO
amplitude and phase dither are recommended and can be enabled
by setting Bit 1 and Bit 2 in Register 0x51.

FIR FILTERS
The two FIR filters that can be used are either a 47-tap, high
performance, fixed-coefficient FIR filter or a 21-tap, low latency,
fixed-coefficient FIR filter. These filters are useful in providing
alias protection at the device output. The high performance FIR
is a simple sum-of-products FIR filter with 47 filter taps and
21-bit fixed coefficients. Note that this filter does not decimate.
The normalized coefficients used in the implementation and the
decimal equivalent value of the coefficients are listed in Table 12.
Table 12. High Performance FIR Filter Coefficients
The AD6649 filters within a single part or across multiple parts can
be synchronized using the external SYNC input. The filters can
be configured to be resynchronized on every SYNC signal or only
on the first SYNC signal after the SPI control register is written.
A valid SYNC causes the FIR filter to restart at the programmed
decimation phase value. Bit 4 and Bit 5 of Register 0x58 allow
the FIR to be resynchronized on every SYNC signal or only on
the first SYNC signal after the register is written.
FILTER PERFORMANCE
When using the fixed-frequency NCO and a 95 MHz FIR filter,
the output rate is equal to the sample clock rate. The composite
response of this mode is shown in Figure 41. The detailed passband response for this mode is shown in Figure 42. To place the

NCO select bit (Bit 0) in Register 0x5A must be set. It is important
to note that a −1.0 dBFS input level at the analog inputs corresponds
to an output level of −2.5 dBFS when using the low latency FIR
fil ter. This output level reduction is a result of the −1.5 dB passband attenuation in the FIR filter in this mode and does not
result in loss in the dynamic range of the converter.

the high performance FIR filter is shown in Figure 43. The detailed
pass-band response for this mode is shown in Figure 44. To pla ce
the part into this mode, set SPI Register 0x50 to 0xA0. When
using the high performance FIR filter, the output level is −1.3 dBFS
for a corresponding input level of −1.0 dBFS at the analog inputs.
This is a result of the −0.3 dB pass-band attenuation of the FIR
filter in this mode and does not result in loss in the dynamic range
of the converter.

OUTPUT NCO
The output of the 32-bit fine-tuning NCO is complex and
typically centered in frequency around dc. This complex output
is carried through the stages of either the 95 MHz or 100 MHz FIR
filter to provide proper antialiasing filtering. The final NCO
provides a means to move this complex output signal away from
dc so that a real output can be provided from the AD6649. The
output NCO translates the output from dc to a frequency equal

ADC OVERRANGE AND GAIN CONTROL
In receiver applications, it is desirable to have a mechanism to
reliably determine when the converter is about to be clipped.
The standard overflow indicator provides delayed information
on the state of the analog input that is of limited value in preventing
clipping. Therefore, it is helpful to have a programmable threshold
below full scale that allows time to reduce the gain before the clip
occurs. In addition, because input signals can have significant
slew rates, latency of this function is of concern.
Using the SPI port, the user can provide a threshold above which
the FD output is active. Bit 0 of SPI Register 0x45 allows the user to
select the threshold level. As long as the signal is below the selected
threshold, the FD output remains lo w. In this mode, the magnitude
of the data is considered in the calculation of the condition, but
the sign of the data is not considered. The threshold detection
responds identically to positive and negative signals outside the
desired range (magnitude).
ADC OVERRANGE (OR)
The ADC overrange indicator is asserted when an overrange is
detected on the input of the ADC. The overrange condition is
determined at the output of the ADC pipeline and, therefore, is
subject to a latency of 7 ADC clock cycles. An overrange at the
input is indicated by this bit 7 clock cycles after it occurs.
GAIN SWITCHING
The AD6649 includes circuitry that is useful in applications
either where large dynamic ranges exist or where gain ranging
amplifiers are employed. This circuitry allows digital thresholds
to be set such that an upper threshold and a lower threshold can
be programmed.
One such use is to detect when an ADC is about to reach full
scale with a particular input condition. The result is to provide
an indicator that can be used to quickly insert an attenuator that
prevents ADC overdrive.
Fast Threshold Detection (FDA and FDB)
The FD indicator is asserted if the input magnitude exceeds the
value programmed in the fast detect upper threshold register,
located in Register 0x47 and Register 0x48. The selected threshold
register is compared with the signal magnitude at the output of
the ADC. The fast upper threshold detection has a latency of
4 clock cycles. The upper threshold magnitude is defined by the
following equation:
Upper Threshold Magnitude (dBFS)
= 20 log(Threshold Magnitude/2
13
)
The FD indicators are not cleared until the signal drops below
the lower threshold for the programmed dwell time. The lower
threshold is programmed in the fast detect lower threshold
register, located at Register 0x49 and Register 0x4A. The fast
detect lower threshold register is a 15-bit register that is
compared with the signal magnitude at the output of the ADC.
This comparison is subject to the ADC pipeline latency but is
accurate in terms of converter resolution. The lower threshold
magnitude is defined by the following equation:
Lower Threshold Magnitude (dBFS)
= 20 log(Threshold Magnitude/2
13
)
The dwell time can be programmed from 1 to 65,535 sample
clock cycles by placing the desired value in the fast detect dwell
time register, located in Register 0x4B and Register 0x4C.
The operation of the upper threshold and lower threshold
registers, along with the dwell time, is shown in
Figure 45.

DC CORRECTION
Because the dc offset of the ADC may be significantly larger
than the signal being measured, a dc correction circuit is included
to null the dc offset before measuring the power. The dc correction
circuit can also be switched into the main signal path, but this
may not be appropriate if the ADC is digitizing a time-varying
signal with significant dc content, such as GSM.
DC Correction Bandwidth
The dc correction circuit is a high-pass filter with a programmable bandwidth (ranging between 0.29 Hz and 2.387 kHz at
245.76 MSPS). The bandwidth is controlled by writing the 4-bit
dc correction bandwidth select register, located at Register 0x40,
Bits[5:2]. The following equation can be used to compute the
bandwidth value for the dc correction circuit:
where:
k is the 4-bit value programmed in Bits[5:2] of Register 0x40
(values between 0 and 13 are valid for k; programming 14 or 15
provides the same result as programming 13).

is the AD6649 ADC sample rate in hertz.

DC Correction Readback
The current dc correction value can be read back in Register 0x41
and Register 0x42 for each channel. The dc correction value is a
16-bit value that can span the entire input range of the ADC.
DC Correction Freeze
Setting Bit 6 of Register 0x40 freezes the DC correction at its
current state and continues to use the last updated value as the
dc correction value. Clearing this bit restarts dc correction and
adds the currently calculated value to the data.
DC Correction Enable Bits
Setting Bit 1 of Register 0x40 enables dc correction for use in
the output data signal path.

CHANNEL/CHIP SYNCHRONIZATION
The AD6649 has a SYNC input that allows the user flexible synchronization options for synchronizing the internal blocks. The
SYNC feature is useful for guaranteeing synchronized operation
across multiple ADCs. The input clock divider, NCO, FIR filters,
and the output f
input. Each of these blocks can be enabled to synchronize on a
single occurrence of the SYNC signal or on every occurrence by
setting the appropriate bits in Register 0x58.
/4 NCO can be synchronized using the SYNC
S
The SYNC input is internally synchronized to the sample clock.
However, to ensure that there is no timing uncertainty between
multiple parts, the SYNC input signal should be synchronized
to the input clock signal. The SYNC input should be driven
using a single-ended CMOS type signal.
If Bit 1 in Register 0x59 is used, the SYNC input can be set to
either level or edge sensitive mode. If the SYNC input is set to
edge sensitive mode, Bit 0 of Register 0x59 can be used to
determine whether the rising or falling edge is used. The
settings written to Register 0x59 apply only to the FIR filters
and the NCOs.

SERIAL PORT INTERFACE (SPI)
The AD6649 serial port interface (SPI) allows the user to configure
the converter for specific functions or operations through a
structured register space provided inside the ADC. The SPI
gives the user added flexibility and customization, depending on
the application. Addresses are accessed via the serial port and
can be written to or read from via the port. Memory is organized
into bytes that can be further divided into fields. These fields are
documented in the Memory Map section. For detailed operational
information, see the AN-877 Application Note, Interfacing to High Speed ADCs via SPI.
CONFIGURATION USING THE SPI
Three pins define the SPI of this ADC: the SCLK pin, the
SDIO pin, and the CSB pin (see Ta b l e 13). The SCLK (serial
clock) pin is used to synchronize the read and write data presented
from/to the ADC. The SDIO (serial data input/output) pin is a
dual-purpose pin that allows data to be sent and read from the
internal ADC memory map registers. The CSB (chip select bar)
pin is an active low control that enables or disables the read and
write cycles.
Table 13. Serial Port Interface Pins
Pin Function
SCLK Serial Clock. The serial shift clock input, which is used to
synchronize serial interface reads and writes.
SDIO Serial Data Input/Output. A dual-purpose pin that
typically serves as an input or an output, depending on
the instruction being sent and the relative position in the
timing frame.
CSB Chip Select Bar. An active low control that gates the read
and write cycles.
The falling edge of the CSB, in conjunction with the rising edge
of the SCLK, determines the start of the framing. An example of
the serial timing and its definitions can be found in Figure 46
and Table 5.
Other modes involving the CSB are available. The CSB can be
held low indefinitely, which permanently enables the device;
this is called streaming. The CSB can stall high between bytes
to allow for additional external timing. When CSB is tied high,
SPI functions are placed in a high impedance mode. This mode
turns on any SPI pin secondary functions.
During an instruction phase, a 16-bit instruction is transmitted.
Data follows the instruction phase, and its length is determined
by the W0 and W1 bits.
All data is composed of 8-bit words. The first bit of each individual
byte of serial data indicates whether a read or write command is
issued. This allows the serial data input/output (SDIO) pin to
change direction from an input to an output.
In addition to word length, the instruction phase determines
whether the serial frame is a read or write operation, allowing
the serial port to be used both to program the chip and to read
the contents of the on-chip memory. If the instruction is a readback
operation, performing a readback causes the serial data input/
output (SDIO) pin to change direction from an input to an output
at the appropriate point in the serial frame.
Data can be sent in MSB first mode or in LSB first mode. MSB
first is the default on power-up and can be changed via the SPI
port configuration register. For more information about this
and other features, see the AN-877 Application Note, Interfacing to High Speed ADCs via SPI.
HARDWARE INTERFACE
The pins described in Ta bl e 13 comprise the physical interface
between the user programming device and the serial port of the
AD6649. The SCLK pin and the CSB pin function as inputs
when using the SPI interface. The SDIO pin is bidirectional,
functioning as an input during write phases and as an output
during readback.
The SPI interface is flexible enough to be controlled by either
FPGAs or microcontrollers. One method for SPI configuration
is described in detail in the AN-812 Application Note, Micro-controller-Based Serial Port Interface (SPI) Boot Circuit.
The SPI port should not be active during periods when the full
dynamic performance of the converter is required. Because the
SCLK signal, the CSB signal, and the SDIO signal are typically
asynchronous to the ADC clock, noise from these signals can
degrade converter performance. If the on-board SPI bus is used for
other devices, it may be necessary to provide buffers between
this bus and the AD6649 to prevent these signals from transitioning at the converter inputs during critical sampling periods.

MEMORY MAP
READING THE MEMORY MAP REGISTER TABLE
Each row in the memory map register table has eight bit locations.
The memory map is roughly divided into four sections: the chip
configuration registers (Address 0x00 to Address 0x02); the
channel index and transfer registers (Address 0x05 and
Address 0xFF); the ADC functions registers, including setup,
control, and test (Address 0x08 to Address 0x3A); and the digital
feature control registers (Address 0x40 to Address 0x5A).
The memory map register table (see Tab l e 15) documents the
default hexadecimal value for each hexadecimal address shown.
The column with the heading Bit 7 (MSB) is the start of the
default hexadecimal value given. For example, Address 0x14,
the output mode register, has a hexadecimal default value of
0x05. This means that Bit 0 = 1 and the remaining bits are 0s.
This setting is the default output format value, which is twos
complement. For more information on this function and others,
see the AN-877 Application Note, Interfacing to High Speed ADCs via SPI. This document details the functions controlled
by Register 0x00 to Register 0x25. The remaining registers, from
Register 0x3A to Register 0x5A, are documented in the Memory
Map Register Description section.
Open and Reserved Locations
All address and bit locations that are not included in Tab l e 15
are not currently supported for this device. Unused bits of a
valid address location should be written with 0s. Writing to these
locations is required only when part of an address location is
open (for example, Address 0x18). If the entire address location
is open (for example, Address 0x13), this address location should
not be written.
Default Values
After the AD6649 is reset, critical registers are loaded with
default values. The default values for the registers are given in
the memory map register table, Tab l e 15.
Logic Levels
An explanation of logic level terminology follows:
•“Bit is set” is synonymous with “bit is set to Logic 1” or
“writing Logic 1 for the bit.”
•“Clear a bit” is synonymous with “bit is set to Logic 0” or
“writing Logic 0 for the bit.”
Transfer Register Map
Address 0x08 to Address 0x20, Address 0x3A, Address 0x40 to
Address 0x42, Address 0x45 to 0x4C, and Address 0x50 to
Address 0x5A are shadowed. Writes to these addresses do
not affect part operation until a transfer command is issued by
writing 0x01 to Address 0xFF, setting the transfer bit. This allows
these registers to be updated internally and simultaneously when
the transfer bit is set. The internal update takes place when the
transfer bit is set, and then the bit autoclears.
Channel-Specific Registers
Some channel setup functions, such as the signal monitor thresholds, can be programmed to a different value for each channel.
In these cases, channel address locations are internally duplicated
for each channel. These registers and bits are designated in Tab l e 15
as local. These local registers and bits can be accessed by setting
the appropriate Channel A or Channel B bits in Register 0x05. If
both bits are set, the subsequent write affects the registers of both
channels. In a read cycle, only Channel A or Channel B should
be set to read one of the two registers. If both bits are set during
an SPI read cycle, the part returns the value for Channel A.
Registers and bits designated as global in Table 15 affect the
entire part and the channel features for which independent
settings are not allowed between channels. The settings in
Register 0x05 do not affect the global registers and bits.

MEMORY MAP REGISTER DESCRIPTION
For more information on functions controlled in Register 0x00
to Register 0x25, see the AN-877 Application Note, Interfacing to High Speed ADCs via SPI.
Sync Control (Register 0x3A)
Bits[7:3]—Reserved
Bit 2—Clock Divider Next Sync Only
If the master sync buffer enable bit (Address 0x3A, Bit 0) and
the clock divider sync enable bit (Address 0x3A, Bit 1) are high,
Bit 2 allows the clock divider to sync to the first sync pulse that it
receives and to ignore the rest. The clock divider sync enable bit
(Address 0x3A, Bit 1) resets after it syncs.
Bit 1—Clock Divider Sync Enable
Bit 1 gates the sync pulse to the clock divider. The sync signal is
enabled when Bit 1 is high and Bit 0 is high. This is continuous
sync mode.
Bit 0—Master Sync Buffer Enable
Bit 0 must be set high to enable any of the sync functions. If
the sync capability is not used, this bit should remain low to
conserve power.
DC Correction Control (Register 0x40)
Bit 7—Reserved
Bit 6—DC Correction Freeze
When Bit 6 is set high, the dc correction is no longer updated to
the signal monitor block, which holds the last dc value calculated.
Bits[5:2]—DC Correction Bandwidth Select
Bits[5:2] set the averaging time of the signal monitor dc
correction function. This 4-bit word sets the bandwidth of the
correction block, according to the following equation:
where:
k is the 4-bit value programmed in Bits[5:2] of Register 0x40
(values between 0 and 13 are valid for k; programming 14 or 15
provides the same result as programming 13).
f
is the AD6649 ADC sample rate in hertz.
CLK
Bit 1—DC Correction Enable
Setting this bit high causes the output of the dc measurement
block to be summed with the data in the signal path to remove
the dc offset from the signal path.
Bit 0—Reserved
Fast Detect Control (Register 0x45)
Bits[7:4]—Reserved
Bit 3—Force FD Output Enable
Setting this bit high forces the FD output pin to the value
written to Bit 2 of this register (Register 0x45). This enables the
user to force a known value on the FD pin for debugging.
Rev. A | Page 36 of 40
Bit 2—Force FD Output Value
The value written to Bit 2 is forced on the FD output pin when
Bit 3 is written high.
Bit 1—Reserved
Bit 0—Enable Fast Detect Output
Setting this bit high enables the output of the upper threshold
FD comparator to drive the FD output pin.
Fast Detect Upper Threshold
(Register 0x47 and Register 0x48)
These registers provide an upper limit threshold. The 13-bit
value is compared with the output magnitude from the ADC
block. If the ADC magnitude exceeds this threshold value, the
FD output pin is set if Bit 0 in Register 0x45 is set.
Fast Detect Lower Threshold
(Register 0x49 and Register 0x4A)
These registers provide a lower limit threshold. The 13-bit value
is compared with the output magnitude from the ADC block. If
the ADC magnitude is less than this threshold value for the
number of cycles programmed in the dwell time register, the FD
output bit is cleared.
Fast Detect Dwell Time
(Register 0x4B and Register 0x4C)
These register values set the minimum time in ADC sample
clock cycles (after clock divider) that a signal needs to stay below
the lowerthreshold limit before the FD output bits are cleared.
Filter Control (Register 0x50)
Bit 7—Reserved (Reads Back as 1)
Bit 6—Reserved
Bit 5—Reserved (Reads Back as 1)
Bit 4—FIR Mode
Setting this bit low enables the high performance FIR filter.
Setting this bit high enables the low latency FIR.
Bit 3—Output Gain
Setting this bit high sets the output gain to −6 dB. A 0 value on
this bit sets the gain at 0 dB.

Bit 2—9-bit Output Mode Enable
If this bit is set, the NCOs and filters are bypassed and the part
outputs nine bits of data. These nine bits are presented on the
nine MSBs of the output bus (that is, Bit D13 through Bit D5).
Bits[1:0]—Datapath Gain
These bits set the datapath gain as follows:
00 = 0 dB gain
01 = −6 dB gain
10 = −12 dB gain
11 = −18 dB gain
NCO Control (Register 0x51)
Bit 7—Reserved
Bit 6—NCO32 to f
/4 NCO Sync Enable
S
This bit should be set high when NCO32 is set to fS/4 using the
fixed-frequency NCO and the 95 MHz FIR filter. It should be
disabled when using the tunable-frequency NCO and 100 MHz
FIR filter.
Bit 5—Spectral Reversal
This bit should be set high to reverse the output frequency
spectrum.
Bit 4—Reserved (Reads Back as 1)
Bit 3—Reserved
Bit 2—NCO32 Amplitude Dither Enable
When Bit 2 is set, amplitude dither in the NCO is enabled.
When Bit 2 is cleared, amplitude dither is disabled.
Bit 1—NCO32 Phase Dither Enable
When Bit 2 is set, phase dither in the NCO is enabled. When
Bit 2 is cleared, phase dither is disabled.
Bit 0—Reserved (Reads Back as 1)
NCO Frequency (Register 0x52 to Register 0x55)
Register 0x52, Bits[7:0]—NCO Frequency Value[31:24]

Register 0x54, Bits[7:0]—NCO Frequency Value[15:8]
Register 0x55, Bits[7:0]—NCO Frequency Value[7:0]
This 32-bit value is used to program the NCO tuning frequency.
The frequency value to be programmed is given by the
following equation:
where:
NCO_FREQ is a 32-bit twos complement number representing
the NCO frequency register.
f is the desired carrier frequency in hertz.
f
is the AD6649 ADC clock rate in hertz.

NCO Phase Offset (Register 0x56 and Register 0x57)
Register 0x56, Bits[7:0]—NCO Phase Value[15:8]
Register 0x57, Bits[7:0]—NCO Phase Value[7:0]
The 16-bit value programmed into the NCO phase value register
is loaded into the NCO block each time the NCO is started or
when an NCO SYNC signal is received. This process allows the
NCO to be started with a known nonzero phase.
Use the following equation to calculate the NCO phase offset value:
NCO_PHASE = 2
16
× PHASE/360
where NCO_PHASE is a decimal number equal to the 16-bit binary
number to be programmed at Register 0x56 and Register 0x57,
and PHASE is the desired NCO phase in degrees.
SYNC Control (Register 0x58)
Bit 7—f
/4 NCO Next Sync Only
S
If the master sync buffer enable bit (Register 0x3A, Bit 0) and
the f
/4 NCO sync enable bit (Register 0x58, Bit 6) are high, Bit 7
S
allows the f
/4 NCO to synchronize following the first sync
S
pulse that it receives and ignore the rest. If Bit 7 is set, Bit 6 of
Register 0x58 resets after this sync occurs.
Bit 6—fS/4 NCO Sync Enable
Bit 6 gates the sync pulse to the fS/4 NCO. When Bit 6 is set
high, the sync signal causes the f
/4 NCO to synchronize.
S
This sync is active only when the master sync buffer enable bit
(Register 0x3A, Bit 0) is high. This is continuous sync mode.
Bit 5—FIR Next Sync Only
If the master sync buffer enable bit (Register 0x3A, Bit 0) and the
FIR sync enable bit (Register 0x58, Bit 4) are high, Bit 5 allows
the FIR to synchronize following the first sync pulse that it receives
and to ignore the rest. If Bit 5 is set, Bit 4 of Register 0x3A resets
after this sync occurs.
Bit 4—FIR Sync Enable
Bit 4 gates the sync pulse to the FIR filter. When Bit 4 is set
high, the sync signal causes the half-band to resynchronize.
This sync is active only when the master sync buffer enable bit
(Register 0x3A, Bit 0) is high. This is continuous sync mode.
Bits[3:2]—Reserved
Bit 1—NCO32 Next Sync Only
If the master sync buffer enable bit (Register 0x3A, Bit 0) and
the NCO32 sync enable bit (Register 0x58, Bit 0) are high, Bit 1
allows the NCO32 to synchronize following the first sync pulse
that it receives and to ignore the rest. Bit 0 of Register 0x58 resets
after a sync occurs if Bit 1 is set.
Bit 0—NCO32 Sync Enable
Bit 0 gates the sync pulse to the 32-bit NCO. When this bit is set
high, the sync signal causes the NCO to resynchronize, starting
at the NCO phase offset value. This sync is active only when the
master sync buffer enable bit (Register 0x3A, Bit 0) is high. This
is continuous sync mode.

NCO/FIR SYNC Pin Control (Register 0x59)
Bits[7:2]—Reserved
Bit 1—SYNC Pin Sensitivity
If Bit 1 is set to a 0, the SYNC input responds to a level. If this
bit is set low, the SYNC input responds to the edge (rising or
falling) set in Bit 0 of Address 0x59.
Bit 0—SYNC Pin Edge Sensitivity
If Bit 1 is set high, setting Bit 0 to a 0 causes the SYNC input to
respond to a falling edge. If this bit is set, the SYNC input
respond to a rising edge.
NCO Control 2 (Register 0x5A)
Bits[7:1]—Reserved
Bit 0—Low Latency NCO Select
If Bit 0 is set to a 1, the low latency NCO is selected. This bit
should be selected for the fixed-frequency NC O, 95 MHz FIR
filter mode of operation. When this bit is set, the NCO value
must be set to either 0x40000000 or 0xC0000000.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
DESIGN GUIDELINES
Before starting system level design and layout of the AD6649,
it is recommended that the designer become familiar with these
guidelines, which discuss the special circuit connections and
layout requirements needed for certain pins.
Power and Ground Recommendations
When connecting power to the AD6649, it is recommended
that two separate 1.8 V supplies be used: one supply should be
used for analog (AVDD), and a separate supply should be used
for the digital outputs (DRVDD). The designer can employ
several different decoupling capacitors to cover both high and
low frequencies. These capacitors should be located close to the
point of entry at the PC board level and close to the pins of the
part with minimal trace length.
A single PCB ground plane should be sufficient when using the
AD6649. With proper decoupling and smart partitioning of the
PCB analog, digital, and clock sections, optimum performance
is easily achieved.
Exposed Paddle Thermal Heat Slug Recommendations
It is mandatory that the exposed paddle on the underside of the
ADC be connected to analog ground (AGND) to achieve the
best electrical and thermal performance. A continuous, exposed
(no solder mask) copper plane on the PCB should mate to the
AD6649 exposed paddle, Pin 0.
The copper plane should have several vias to achieve the lowest
possible resistive thermal path for heat dissipation to flow through
the bottom of the PCB. These vias should be filled or plugged with
nonconductive epoxy.
To maximize the coverage and adhesion between the ADC
and the PCB, a silkscreen should be overlaid to partition the
continuous plane on the PCB into several uniform sections.
This provides several tie points between the ADC and the PCB
during the reflow process. Using one continuous plane with no
partitions guarantees only one tie point between the ADC and
the PCB. See the evaluation board for a PCB layout example.
For detailed information about packaging and PCB layout of
chip scale packages, refer to the AN-772 Application Note, A
Design and Manufacturing Guide for the Lead Frame Chip Scale
Package (LFCSP).
VCM
The VCM pin should be decoupled to ground with a 0.1 μF
capacitor, as shown in Figure 28. For optimal channel-to-channel
isolation, a 33 Ω resistor should be included between the AD6649
VCM pin and the Channel A analog input network connection
and between the AD6649 VCM pin and the Channel B analog
input network connection.
SPI Port
The SPI port should not be active during periods when the full
dynamic performance of the converter is required. Because the
SCLK, CSB, and SDIO signals are typically asynchronous to the
ADC clock, noise from these signals can degrade converter
performance. If the on-board SPI bus is used for other devices,
it may be necessary to provide buffers between this bus and the
AD6649 to keep these signals from transitioning at the converter
inputs during critical sampling periods.
