AD9856 Table 4. Functional Block Mode Descriptions Functional Block Mode Description Operating Modes 1. Complex quadrature modulator mode. 2. Single-tone output mode. Input Data Format Programmable: 12-bit, 6-bit, or 3-bit input formats. Data input to the AD9856 is 12-bit, twos complement. Complex I/Q symbol component data is required to be at least 2× oversampled, depending upon configuration. Input Sample Rate Up to 50 Msamples/sec @ 200 MHz SYSCLK rate. Input Reference For DC to 80 MHz A operation (200 MHz SYSCLK rate) with REFCLK multiplier enabled: 10 MHz to50 MHz, OUT Clock Frequency programmable via control bus; with REFCLK multiplier disabled: 200 MHz. Note: For optimum data synchronization, the AD9856 reference clock and the input data clock should be derived from the same clock source. Internal Reference Programmable in integer steps over the range of 4× to 20×. Can be disabled (effective REFCLK multiplier = 1) via Clock Multiplier control bus. Output of REFCLK multiplier = SYSCLK rate, which is the internal clock rate applied to the DDS and DAC function. Profile Select Four pin-selectable, preprogrammed formats. Available for modulation and single-tone operating modes. Interpolating Range Fixed 4×, selectable 2×, and selectable 2× to 63× range. Half-Band Filters Interpolating filters that provide upsampling and reduce the effects of the CIC passband roll-off characteristics. TxENABLE Function– When burst mode is enabled via the control bus, the rising edge of the applied TxENABLE pulse should be Burst Mode coincident with, and frame, the input data packet. This establishes data sampling synchronization. TxENABLE Function– When continuous mode is enabled via the control bus, the TxENABLE pin becomes an I/Q control line. A Logic 1 Continuous Mode on TxENABLE indicates I data is being presented to the AD9856. A Logic 0 on TxENABLE indicates Q data is being presented to the AD9856. Each rising edge of TxENABLE resynchronizes the AD9856 input sampling capability. Inverse SINC Filter Precompensates for SIN(x)/x roll-off of DAC; user bypassable. I/Q Channel Invert [I ×Cos(ωt) + Q ×Sin(ωt)] or [I ×Cos(ωt) − Q ×Sin(ωt)] (default), configurable via control bus, per profile. Full Sleep Mode Power dissipation reduced to less than 6 mW when full sleep mode is active; programmable via the control bus. Rev. C | Page 7 of 36

AD9856 THEORY OF OPERATION To gain a general understanding of the functionality of the Once through the data assembler, the I/Q data streams are fed AD9856, it is helpful to refer to Figure 23, a block diagram of through two half-band filters (Half-Band Filters 1 and 2).

When selected, this provides an overall upsampling the data assembler. The user has the option to feed the 12-bit factor of eight (8). Thus, if Half-Band Filter 3 is selected, the data-words to the AD9856 as single 12-bit words, dual 6-bit sample rate at its output is 8 × f . IQ words, or quad 3-bit words. This provides the user with the After passing through the half-band filter stages, the I/Q data flexibility to use fewer interface pins, if desired.

AD9856 UNDERSTANDING AND USING PIN-SELECTABLE AD8320/AD8321 Gain Control MODULATOR PROFILES An 8-bit word that controls the gain of an AD8320/AD8321 The AD9856 quadrature digital upconverter is capable of programmable gain amplifier connected to the AD9856 with storing four preconfigured modulation modes called profiles the 3-bit SPI interface bus. Gain range is from −10 dB (00 hex) that define the following: to +26 dB (FFhex). The gain is linear in V/V/LSB and follows • Output frequency—32 bits the equation AV = 0.316 + 0.077 × Code, where Code is the • Interpolation rate—6 bits decimal equivalent of the 8-bit gain word. • Spectral inversion status—1 bit Profile Selection • Bypass third half-band filter—1 bit After profiles have been loaded into the appropriate registers, • Gain control of AD8320/AD8321—8 bits the user may select which profile to use with two input pins: PS0 and PS1, Pins 45 and 46. Table 9 shows how profiles are Output Frequency selected. This attribute consists of four 8-bit words loaded into four Table 9. Profile Select Matrix register addresses to form a 32-bit frequency tuning word PS1 PS0 PROFILE (FTW) for each profile. The lowest register address corresponds 0 0 1 to the least significant 8-bit word. Ascending addresses 0 1 2 correspond to increasingly significant 8-bit words. The output 1 0 3 frequency equation is given as: f = (FTW × SYSCLK)/232. OUT 1 1 4 Interpolation Rate Consists of a 6-bit word representing the allowed interpolation Except while in single-tone mode, it is recommended that users values from 2 to 63. Interpolation is the mechanism used to up suspend the TxENABLE function by bringing the pin to Logic 0 sample or multiply the input data rate such that it exactly prior to changing from one profile to another and then re- matches that of the DDS sample rate (SYSCLK). This implies asserting TxENABLE. This assures that any discontinuities that the system clock must be an exact multiple of the symbol resulting from register data transfer are not transmitted up or rate. This 6-bit word represents the 6 MSBs of the eight bits downstream. Furthermore, changing interpolation rates during allocated for that address.

Factors such as the CIC interpolation interpolation rate previously described. rate, and whether the third half-band filter and inverse SINC Bypass Third Half-Band Filter filters are active, can affect the power dissipation of the device. A single bit located in the LSB position of the same address as It is important for the user to consider all of these factors when the interpolation rate. When this bit is Logic 0, the third half- optimizing performance for power dissipation. For example, band filter is engaged and its inherent 2× interpolation rate is there are two ways to achieve a 6 MS/s transmission rate with applied. When this bit is Logic 1, the third half-band filter is the AD9856. The first method uses an f of 192 MHz; the bypassed and the 2× interpolation rate is negated. This allows MAX other method uses an f of 144 MHz, which reduces power users to input higher data rates—rates that may be too high for MAX dissipation by nearly 25%. the minimum interpolation rate if all three half-band filters with their inherent 2× interpolation rate are engaged.

The AD9856 must be configured for a CIC interpolation rate of three while bypassing the 3rd half-band filter. This results in an I/Q input sample rate of 24 MHz which is further upsampled by a factor of 8 MHz to 192 MHz. Rev. C | Page 31 of 36

For burst applications with relatively long nonbursting periods, the sleep bit is useful for saving power.
