both narrowband and wideband carriers to be extracted. The
RAM-based architecture allows easy reconfiguration for multi-
mode applications.
The decimating filters remove unwanted signals and noise from
the channel of interest. When the channel of interest occupies
less bandwidth than the input signal, this rejection of out-of-
band noise is called “processing gain.” By using large decimation
factors, this “processing gain” can improve the SNR of the
ADC by 36 dB or more. In addition, the programmable RAM
Coefficient filter allows antialiasing, matched filtering, and
static equalization functions to be combined in a single, cost-
effective filter.
The input port accepts a 16-bit Mantissa, a 3-bit Exponent,
and an A/B Select pin. These allow direct interfacing with the
AD6600, AD6640, AD6644, AD9042 and most other high-
speed ADCs. Three input modes are provided: Single Channel
Real, Single Channel Complex, and Diversity Channel Real.
When paired with an interleaved sampler such as the AD6600,
the AD6620 can process two data streams in the Diversity
Channel Real input mode. Each channel is processed with coher-
ent frequency translation and output sample clocks. In addition,
external synchronization pins are provided to facilitate coherent
frequency translation and output sample clocks among several
AD6620s. These features can ease the design of systems with
diversity antennas or antenna arrays.
Units are packaged in an 80-lead PQFP (plastic quad flatpack)
and specified to operate over the industrial temperature range
(–40°C to +85°C).
The AD6620 is a digital receiver with four cascaded signal-
processing elements: a frequency translator, two fixed-
coefficient decimating filters, and a programmable coefficient
decimating filter. All inputs are 3.3 V LVCMOS compatible.
All outputs are LVCMOS and 5 V TTL compatible.
As ADCs achieve higher sampling rates and dynamic range, it
becomes increasingly attractive to accomplish the final IF stage
of a receiver in the digital domain. Digital IF Processing is less
expensive, easier to manufacture, more accurate, and more
flexible than a comparable highly selective analog stage.
The AD6620 diversity channel decimating receiver is designed
to bridge the gap between high-speed ADCs and general pur-
pose DSPs. The high resolution NCO allows a single carrier to
be selected from a high speed data stream. High dynamic range
decimation filters with a wide range of decimation rates allow

As shown in Figure 1, the AD6620 has four main signal pro-
cessing stages: a Frequency Translator, two Cascaded Integrator
Comb FIR Filters (CIC2, CIC5), and a RAM Coefficient FIR
Filter (RCF). Multiple modes are supported for clocking data
into and out of the chip. Programming and control is accom-
plished via serial and microprocessor interfaces.
Input data to the chip may be real or complex. If the input data
is real, it may be clocked in as a single channel or interleaved
with a second channel. The two-channel input mode, called
Diversity Channel Real, is typically used in diversity receiver
applications. Input data is clocked in 16-bit parallel words,
IN[15:0]. This word may be combined with exponent input bits
EXP[2:0] when the AD6620 is being driven by floating-point or
gain-ranging analog-to-digital converters such as the AD6600.
Frequency translation is accomplished with a 32-bit complex
Numerically Controlled Oscillator (NCO). Real data entering
this stage is separated into in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q)
components. This stage translates the input signal from a digital
intermediate frequency (IF) to baseband. Phase and amplitude
dither may be enabled on-chip to improve spurious performance
of the NCO. A phase offset word is available to create a known
phase relationship between multiple AD6620s.
Following frequency translation is a fixed coefficient, high speed
decimating filter that reduces the sample rate by a program-
mable ratio between 2 and 16. This is a second order, cascaded
integrator comb FIR filter shown as CIC2 in Figure 1. (Note:
Decimation of 1 in CIC2 requires 2× or greater clock into
AD6620). The data rate into this stage equals the input data
rate, f
SAMP
. The data rate out of CIC2, f
SAMP2
, is determined by
the decimation factor, M

AD6620
Following CIC2 is the second fixed-coefficient decimating filter.
This filter, CIC5, further reduces the sample rate by a program-
mable ratio from 1 to 32. The data rate out of CIC5, f
SAMP5
, is
determined by the decimation factors of M
CIC5
and M
CIC2
.
Each CIC stage is a FIR filter whose response is defined by the
decimation rate. The purpose of these filters is to reduce the
data rate of the incoming signal so that the final filter stage, a FIR
RAM coefficient sum-of-products filter (RCF), can calculate
more taps per output. As shown in Figure 1, on-chip multiplex-
ers allow both CIC filters to be bypassed if a multirate clock
is used.
The fourth stage is a sum-of-products FIR filter with program-
mable 20-bit coefficients, and decimation rates programmable
from 1 to 32. The RAM Coefficient FIR Filter (RCF in Figure
1) can handle a maximum of 256 taps.
The overall filter response for the AD6620 is the composite of
all three cascaded decimating filters: CIC2, CIC5, and RCF. Each
successive filter stage is capable of narrower transition band-
widths but requires a greater number of CLK cycles to calculate
the output. More decimation in the first filter stage will minimize
overall power consumption. Data comes out via a parallel port
or a serial interface.
Figure 2 illustrates the basic function of the AD6620: to select
and filter a single channel from a wide input spectrum. The
frequency translator “tunes” the desired carrier to baseband.
CIC2 and CIC5 have fixed order responses; the RCF filter
provides the sharp transitions. More detail is provided in later
sections of the data sheet.
