Configuration details are provided in the document, including decimation ratios and synchronization requirements.
Figures and Tables
The document includes figures illustrating temperature diode voltage response, threshold settings for FD signals, and DDC block diagrams. Tables provide detailed configuration options for DDC samples and decimation ratios.
DDC Samples and Decimation
The document outlines various configurations for DDC samples with different chip decimation ratios (DCM). It explains how different combinations of half-band FIR filters (HB1, HB2, HB3, HB4) are used depending on the decimation ratio, affecting the output sample rates for real and complex signals.
Frequency Translation
Frequency translation is achieved using a 12-bit complex numerically controlled oscillator (NCO) and a digital quadrature mixer. The document describes four IF modes: Variable IF, 0 Hz IF (ZIF), fS/4 Hz IF, and Test mode. Each mode has specific configurations for enabling or bypassing mixers and NCOs.
NCO and Mixer Loss
The document details the signal loss introduced during frequency translation, recommending compensatory gain adjustments. It also discusses the spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) performance of the NCO.
FIR Filters
The AD9680 includes four sets of decimate-by-2, low-pass, half-band FIR filters. These filters are used to lower the sample rate and provide alias rejection. The document provides detailed coefficients and responses for each filter (HB1, HB2, HB3, HB4), highlighting their role in signal processing.
NCO Setup and Synchronization
Instructions are provided for setting up the NCO frequency tuning word (FTW) and phase offset word (POW). Synchronization methods using SPI or SYSREF± pin are explained to ensure proper operation across multiple channels or chips.
Recommendations
The document recommends enabling additional gain to compensate for signal loss during mixing and provides guidelines for configuring the DDC control registers to achieve desired decimation and filtering outcomes.
HB1 Filter Response
The document discusses the HB1 filter, highlighting its coefficients and response characteristics. Figure 57 illustrates the filter's response, showing the magnitude in decibels against normalized frequency.
DDC Gain Stage
Each Digital Downconverter (DDC) includes a gain stage with selectable gains of 0 dB or 6 dB. For real input signals mixed to baseband, enabling 6 dB gain is recommended to optimize dynamic range. For complex signals, additional gain is optional to compensate for low signal strengths.
DDC Complex to Real Conversion
The DDC features a complex to real conversion block, utilizing the HB1 FIR filter and an fS/4 complex mixer. This process upconverts the signal, discarding the Q portion post-conversion.
DDC Example Configurations
Table 22 provides register settings for various DDC configurations, detailing chip application layers, decimation ratios, input/output types, bandwidths, and required virtual converters. Configurations range from single to multiple DDCs with complex or real outputs.
Digital Outputs and JESD204B Interface
The AD9680 digital outputs adhere to the JESD204B standard, facilitating high-speed serial data transmission up to 12.5 Gbps. This interface reduces board area and supports smaller package sizes. The JESD204B link parameters include lanes, converters, octets, and control bits, ensuring synchronization and data integrity.
JESD204B Link Establishment
The link establishment involves synchronization, lane alignment, and error correction. The AD9680 supports various configurations, including combining converter outputs onto single lanes, with data framed and encoded using 8B/10B encoding.
Code Group Synchronization (CGS) and SYNCINB±
The CGS process allows the JESD204B receiver to find boundaries between 10-bit symbols in the data stream. During CGS, the transmitter sends /K28.5/ characters, and the receiver uses clock and data recovery techniques to locate these characters. Synchronization is requested by asserting the SYNCINB± pin low, and once synchronized, the receiver waits for four consecutive /K/ symbols before deasserting SYNCINB±. The SYNCINB± pin can be controlled by SPI and operates in differential LVDS mode by default.
Initial Lane Alignment Sequence (ILAS)
Following CGS, ILAS begins on the next LMFC boundary and consists of four multiframes. Each multiframe starts with an /R/ character and ends with an /A/ character. The sequence includes ramp data and link configuration data, and is never scrambled.
User Data and Error Detection
After ILAS, user data is sent. Frame and multiframe synchronization is monitored by replacing certain characters with /F/ or /A/ alignment characters under specific conditions. The scrambling operation is enabled by default but can be disabled via SPI.
8B/10B Encoder
This encoder converts 8-bit octets into 10-bit symbols, ensuring DC balance. Control characters are inserted as needed, and the encoder can be configured via SPI for troubleshooting.
Physical Layer (Driver) Outputs
The AD9680's physical layer includes drivers with dynamic 100 Ω internal termination. Differential termination is recommended, and the digital outputs can interface with custom ASICs and FPGA receivers. De-emphasis can be used to meet eye diagram masks under certain conditions.
JESD204B Tx Converter Mapping
The AD9680 supports different chip operating modes, treating each sample stream as originating from separate virtual converters. The JESD204B Tx block supports up to four DDC blocks, with configurations for real or complex data outputs.
Configuring the JESD204B Link
The AD9680 offers a straightforward setup for the JESD204B link through a quick configuration register. Key parameters include the number of lanes, converters, and octets per frame. The maximum lane rate is 12.5 Gbps, and configurations must ensure the serial line rate is within the supported range.
JESD204B Output Configurations
The AD9680 supports various JESD204B output configurations, which are determined by parameters such as the number of virtual converters (M), the quick configuration code, and the serial line rate. The document specifies valid configurations for different values of F and K, emphasizing that K values must be divisible by 4.
Example Configurations
  • Full Bandwidth Mode: Utilizes two 14-bit converters at 1000 MSPS with no decimation, requiring two virtual converters and supporting configurations with N' = 16 bits and L = 4.
  • ADC with DDC Option: Involves two ADCs and four DDCs with a decimation ratio of 16, requiring eight virtual converters and supporting configurations with N' = 16 bits and L = 1 or 2.
Serial Port Interface (SPI)
The AD9680 features an SPI for configuring the converter, offering flexibility for various applications. The SPI uses three pins: SCLK, SDIO, and CSB, and supports both read and write operations. The document advises against activating the SPI during critical sampling periods to avoid performance degradation.
Memory Map
The memory map is divided into sections for SPI registers, ADC function registers, DDC function registers, and digital outputs/test modes. Each register has a default value, and the document provides guidelines for writing to these registers, including handling open and reserved locations.
SPI Accessible Features
The SPI allows access to features such as power modes, clock settings, decimation filters, test modes, and SERDES output setup. The document emphasizes the importance of adhering to default values and logic level terminology when configuring the device.
