GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The
AD6679
is a 135 MHz bandwidth mixed-signal intermediate
frequency (IF) receiver. It consists of two, 14-bit, 500 MSPS
analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and various digital signal
processing blocks consisting of four wideband DDCs, an NSR,
and VDR monitoring. It has an on-chip buffer and a sample-and-
hold circuit designed for low power, small size, and ease of use.
This product is designed to support communications applications
capable of sampling wide bandwidth analog signals of up to 2 GHz.
The
AD6679
is optimized for wide input bandwidth, high sampling
rates, excellent linearity, and low power in a small package.
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.

AD6679
The analog input and clock signals are differential inputs. The
ADC data outputs are internally connected to four DDCs
through a crossbar mux. Each DDC consists of up to five
cascaded signal processing stages: a 12-bit frequency translator
(NCO) and up to four half-band decimation filters.
Each ADC output is connected internally to an NSR block. The
integrated NSR circuitry allows improved SNR performance in
a smaller frequency band within the Nyquist bandwidth. The
device supports two different output modes, selectable via the
serial port interface (SPI). With the NSR feature enabled, the
outputs of the ADCs are processed such that the
AD6679
supports
enhanced SNR performance within a limited portion of the
Nyquist bandwidth while maintaining a 9-bit output resolution.
Each ADC output is also connected internally to a VDR block.
This optional mode allows full dynamic range for defined input
signals. Inputs that are within a defined mask (based on DPD
applications) pass unaltered. Inputs that violate this defined
mask result in the reduction of the output resolution.
With VDR, the dynamic range of the observation receiver is
determined by a defined input frequency mask. For signals
falling within the mask, the outputs are presented at the
maximum resolution allowed. For signals exceeding defined
power levels within this frequency mask, the output resolution
is truncated. This mask is based on DPD applications and
supports tunable real IF sampling, and zero IF or complex IF
receive architectures.
Operation of the
AD6679
between the DDC, NSR, and VDR
modes is selectable via SPI-programmable profiles.
In addition to the DDC blocks, the
AD6679
has several functions
that simplify the AGC function in a communications receiver.
The programmable threshold detector allows monitoring of the
Data Sheet
incoming signal power using the fast detect control bits in
Register 0x245 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 reduce the system gain to avoid an overrange condition
at the ADC input. In addition to the fast detect outputs, the
AD6679
also offers signal monitoring capability. The signal
monitoring block provides additional information about the
signal that the ADC digitized.
The output data is routed directly to the one external
14-bit LVDS output port, supporting double data rate (DDR)
formatting. An external data clock and a clock status bit are offered
for data capture flexibility.
The
AD6679
has flexible power-down options that allow
significant power savings when desired. All of these features can
be programmed using a 1.8 V capable 3-wire SPI.
The
AD6679
is available in a Pb-free, 196-ball BGA_ED, and is
specified over the −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
