AD6657
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD6657 is an 11-bit, 200 MSPS, quad-channel intermediate
frequency (IF) receiver specifically designed to support multiantenna systems in telecommunication applications where high
dynamic range performance, low power, and small size are desired.
The device consists of four high performance analog-to-digital
converters (ADCs) and noise shaping requantizer (NSR) digital
blocks. Each ADC consists of a multistage, differential pipelined
architecture with integrated output error correction logic. The
ADC features a wide bandwidth switched-capacitor sampling
network within the first stage of the differential pipeline. An
integrated voltage reference eases design considerations. A duty
cycle stabilizer (DCS) compensates for variations in the ADC
clock duty cycle, allowing the converters to maintain excellent
performance.
Each ADC output is connected internally to an NSR block. The
integrated NSR circuitry allows for improved SNR performance
in a smaller frequency band within the Nyquist bandwidth. The
device supports two different output modes selectable via the
external MODE pin or the SPI.
With the NSR feature enabled, the outputs of the ADCs are
processed such that the AD6657 supports enhanced SNR
performance within a limited portion of the Nyquist bandwidth
while maintaining an 11-bit output resolution. The NSR block
can be programmed to provide a bandwidth of either 22% or
33% of the sample clock. For example, with a sample clock rate
of 185 MSPS, the AD6657 can achieve up to 75.5 dBFS SNR for
a 40 MHz bandwidth in the 22% mode and up to 73.7 dBFS
SNR for a 60 MHz bandwidth in the 33% mode.
With the NSR block disabled, the ADC data is provided directly to
the output with a resolution of 11 bits. The AD6657 can achieve
up to 66.5 dBFS SNR for the entire Nyquist bandwidth when
operated in this mode. This allows the AD6657 to be used in
telecommunication applications such as a digital predistortion
observation path where wider bandwidths are desired.
After digital signal processing, multiplexed output data is
routed into two 11-bit output ports such that the maximum
data rate is 400 Mbps (DDR). These outputs are set at 1.8 V
LVDS and support ANSI-644 levels.
The AD6657 receiver digitizes a wide spectrum of IF frequencies.
Each receiver is designed for simultaneous reception of a separate
antenna. This IF sampling architecture greatly reduces component cost and complexity compared with traditional analog
techniques or less integrated digital methods.
Flexible power-down options allow significant power savings.
Programming for device setup and control is accomplished
using a 3-wire SPI-compatible serial interface with numerous
modes to support board-level system testing.
The AD6657 is available in a Pb-free/RoHS compliant, 144-ball,
10 mm × 10 mm chip scale package ball grid array (CSP_BGA)
and is specified over the industrial temperature range of −40°C
to +85°C.

The values in Table 7 are per JEDEC JESD51-7 plus JEDEC
JESD25-5 for a 2S2P test board. Typical θJA is specified for a
4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane. As shown in Table 7,
airflow improves heat dissipation, which reduces θJA. In addition, metal in direct contact with the package leads from metal
traces, through holes, ground, and power planes reduces θJA.

AD6657
THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD6657 architecture consists of a quad 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. Alternately,
the 14-bit result can be processed through the noise shaping
requantizer (NSR) block before it is sent to 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 residue amplifier 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 adjustment of the output drive current. During power-down, the
output buffers go into a high impedance state.
The AD6657 quad IF receiver can simultaneously digitize four
channels, making it ideal for diversity reception and digital predistortion (DPD) observation paths in telecommunication
systems.
Synchronization capability is provided to allow synchronized
timing between multiple channels or multiple devices.
Programming and control of the AD6657 are accomplished
using a 3-wire SPI-compatible serial interface.
ANALOG INPUT CONSIDERATIONS
The analog input to the AD6657 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 Figure 29). When the input is switched
to sample mode, the signal source must be capable of charging
the sample capacitors and settling within 1/2 of a 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,
any shunt capacitors should be reduced. In combination with
the driving source impedance, the shunt capacitors limit the
input bandwidth. For more information on this subject, see
Application Note AN-742, Frequency Domain Response of
Switched-Capacitor ADCs; Application Note AN-827, A Resonant
Approach to Interfacing Amplifiers to Switched-Capacitor ADCs;
and the Analog Dialogue article, “Transformer-Coupled Front-End
for Wideband A/D Converters” (see www.analog.com).

ADC ARCHITECTURE
Figure 29. Switched-Capacitor Input
For best dynamic performance, the source impedances driving
the VIN+ and VIN− pins should be matched.
An internal differential reference buffer creates positive and
negative reference voltages that define the input span of the ADC
core. The span of the ADC core is set by this buffer to 2 × VREF.
Input Common Mode
The analog inputs of the AD6657 are not internally dc biased.
In ac-coupled applications, the user must provide this bias
externally. An on-board common-mode voltage reference is
included in the design and is available from the VCMx pins.
Optimum performance is achieved when the common-mode
voltage of the analog input is set by the VCMx pin voltage
(typically 0.5 × AVDD). The VCMx pins must be decoupled
to ground by a 0.1 μF capacitor.

AD6657
Differential Input Configurations
The signal characteristics must be considered when selecting
a transformer. Most RF transformers saturate at frequencies
below a few megahertz (MHz). Excessive signal power can also
cause core saturation, which leads to distortion.
Optimum performance is achieved when driving the AD6657
in a differential input configuration. For baseband applications,
the AD8138, ADA4937-2, and ADA4938-2 differential drivers
provide excellent performance and a flexible interface to the ADC.
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 AD6657. For applications in
which SNR is a key parameter, differential double balun coupling
is the recommended input configuration (see Figure 32). 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 driver.
The output common-mode voltage of the ADA4938-2 is easily
set with the VCMx pin of the AD6657 (see Figure 30), and the
driver can be configured in a Sallen-Key filter topology to
provide band limiting of the input signal.

In the double balun and transformer configurations, the value
of the input capacitors and resistors is dependent on the input
frequency and source impedance and may need to be reduced
or removed. Table 10 lists recommended values to set the RC
network. At higher input frequencies, good performance can be
achieved by using a ferrite bead in series with a resistor and

on the input signal and should be used only as a starting guide.

For baseband applications where SNR is a key parameter,
differential transformer coupling is the recommended input
configuration. An example is shown in Figure 31. To bias the
analog input, the VCM voltage can be connected to the center
tap of the secondary winding of the transformer.

Figure 35. Active Front-End Configuration Using the AD8376
For the popular IF band of 140 MHz, Figure 34 shows an
example of a 1:4 transformer passive configuration where a
differential inductor is used to resonate with the internal input
capacitance of the AD6657. This configuration realizes excellent
noise and distortion performance. Figure 35 shows an example
of an active front-end configuration using the AD8376 dual
VGA. This configuration is recommended when signal gain
is required.
CLOCK INPUT CONSIDERATIONS
For optimum performance, the AD6657 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 capacitors. These pins are biased internally
(see Figure 36) and require no external bias.
Figure 37 and Figure 38 show two preferred methods for clocking the AD6657 (at clock rates up to 625 MHz). A low jitter clock
source is converted from a single-ended signal to a differential
signal using either an RF balun or an RF transformer.
The RF balun configuration is recommended for clock frequencies
between 125 MHz and 625 MHz, and the RF transformer configuration is recommended for clock frequencies from 10 MHz to
200 MHz. The back-to-back Schottky diodes across the transformer/balun secondary limit clock excursions into the AD6657
to approximately 0.8 V p-p differential.
This limit helps to prevent the large voltage swings of the clock
from feeding through to other portions of the AD6657 while
preserving the fast rise and fall times of the signal that are
critical to a low jitter performance.

The AD6657 has a very flexible clock input structure. The 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 (see the Jitter Considerations section).

Clock Input Options
AD6657
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 39. The AD9510/AD9511/AD9512/
AD9513/AD9514/AD9515/AD9516 clock drivers offer excellent

A third option is to ac-couple a differential LVDS signal to the
sample clock input pins, as shown in Figure 40. The AD9510/
AD9511/AD9512/AD9513/AD9514/AD9515/AD9516 clock
drivers offer excellent jitter performance.
The AD6657 contains an input clock divider with the ability to
divide the input clock by integer values from 1 to 8.
The AD6657 clock divider can be synchronized using the
external SYNC input. Bit 1 of Register 0x3A enables the clock
divider to be resynchronized on every SYNC signal. 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.

In some applications, it may be acceptable to drive the sample

CLK+ can be driven directly from a CMOS gate. Although
the CLK+ input circuit supply is AVDD (1.8 V), this input is
designed to withstand input voltages of up to 3.6 V, making the
selection of the drive logic voltage very flexible (see Figure 42).
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 AD6657 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 AD6657. Noise and distortion performance are
nearly flat for a wide range of duty cycles with the DCS enabled.
Jitter in the rising edge of the input is still of paramount concern
and is not easily reduced by the internal stabilization circuit. 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 in applications in which
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.

High speed, high resolution ADCs are sensitive to the quality of
the clock input. The degradation in SNR from the low frequency

By asserting PDWN (either through the SPI port or by asserting
the PDWN pin high), the AD6657 is placed in power-down
mode. In this state, the ADC typically dissipates 4.5 mW.
During power-down, the output drivers are placed in a high
impedance state. Asserting the PDWN pin low returns the
AD6657 to its normal operating mode. Note that PDWN is
referenced to the digital output driver supply (DRVDD) and
should not exceed that supply voltage.

Jitter Considerations
Figure 43. SNR vs. Input Frequency and Jitter
The clock input should be treated as an analog signal in cases
in which aperture jitter may affect the dynamic range of the
AD6657. Power supplies for clock drivers should be separated
from the 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 Application Note AN-501 and Application Note
AN-756 for more information about jitter performance as it
relates to ADCs (see www.analog.com).
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 must be recharged when returning to
normal operation. As a result, wake-up time is related to the
time spent in power-down mode; 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 Descriptions section for more details.
POWER DISSIPATION AND STANDBY MODE
CHANNEL/CHIP SYNCHRONIZATION
The power dissipated by the AD6657 is proportional to its clock
rate (see Figure 44). The digital power dissipation does not vary
significantly because it is determined primarily by the DRVDD
supply and the bias current of the LVDS drivers.
The AD6657 has a SYNC input that offers the user flexible synchronization options for synchronizing the clock divider. The
clock divider sync feature is useful for guaranteeing synchronized
sample clocks across multiple ADCs.
Reducing the capacitive load presented to the output drivers can
minimize digital power consumption. The data in Figure 44 was
taken using the same operating conditions as those used in the
Typical Performance Characteristics section, with a 5 pF load
on each output driver.
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 externally synchronized to the input clock signal, meeting the setup and hold
times shown in Table 5. The SYNC input should be driven using
a single-ended CMOS-type signal.
Rev. 0 | Page 20 of 32
AD6657
DIGITAL OUTPUTS
The AD6657 output drivers are configured to interface with
LVDS outputs using a DRVDD supply voltage of 1.8 V. The
output bits are DDR LVDS as shown in Figure 2. Applications
that require the ADC to drive large capacitive loads or large
fanouts may require external buffers or latches.
As described in Application Note AN-877, Interfacing to High
Speed ADCs via SPI, the data format can be selected for offset
binary or twos complement when using the SPI control.
TIMING
The AD6657 provides latched data with a pipeline delay of
nine clock cycles. Data outputs are available one propagation
delay (tPD) after the rising edge of the clock signal.
The length of the output data lines and the loads placed on
them should be minimized to reduce transients within the
AD6657. These transients can degrade converter dynamic
performance.
The lowest typical conversion rate of the AD6657 is 40 MSPS.
At clock rates below 40 MSPS, dynamic performance can degrade.
Data Clock Output (DCO)
The AD6657 provides a data clock output (DCO) signal intended
for capturing the data in an external register. The output data
for Channel A and Channel C is valid on the rising edge of
DCO; the output data for Channel B and Channel D is valid
on the falling edge of DCO. See Figure 2 for a graphical timing
description.

NOISE SHAPING REQUANTIZER (NSR)
0
The AD6657 features a noise shaping requantizer (NSR) to
allow higher than 11-bit SNR to be maintained in a subset of
the Nyquist band. The harmonic performance of the receiver
is unaffected by the NSR feature. When enabled, the NSR
contributes an additional 0.6 dB of loss to the input signal, such
that a 0 dBFS input is reduced to −0.6 dBFS at the output pins.

The MODE pin input allows convenient control of the NSR
feature. A logic low enables NSR mode and a logic high sets the
receiver to straight 11-bit mode with NSR disabled. By default,
the MODE pin is pulled high internally to disable the NSR.
Each channel can be individually configured to ignore the
MODE pin state by writing to Bit 4 of the NSR control register
at Address 0x3C. Use of the NSR control register in conjunction
with the MODE pin allows for very flexible control of the NSR
feature on a per-channel basis.

AD6657
BUILT-IN SELF-TEST (BIST) AND OUTPUT TEST
The AD6657 includes built-in test features designed to verify
the integrity of each channel and to facilitate board-level debugging. A BIST (built-in self-test) feature is included that verifies
the integrity of the digital datapath of the AD6657. Various
output test options are also provided to place predictable values
on the outputs of the AD6657.
The outputs are not disconnected during this test, so the PN
sequence can be observed as it runs. The PN sequence can be
continued from its last value or reset from the beginning, based
on the value programmed in Register 0x0E, Bit 2. The BIST
signature result varies based on the channel configuration.
BUILT-IN SELF-TEST (BIST)
The output test options are shown in Table 13. When an output
test mode is enabled, the analog section of the receiver is disconnected from the digital back-end blocks, and the test pattern
is run through the output formatting block. Some of the test
patterns are subject to output formatting. The seed value for the
PN sequence tests can be forced if the PN reset bits are used to
hold the generator in reset mode by setting Bit 4 or Bit 5 of
Register 0x0D. These tests can be performed with or without an
analog signal (if present, the analog signal is ignored), but they
require an encode clock. For more information, see Application
Note AN-877, Interfacing to High Speed ADCs via SPI.
The BIST is a thorough test of the digital portion of the selected
AD6657 signal path. When enabled, the test runs from an internal
pseudorandom noise (PN) source through the digital datapath
starting at the ADC block output. The BIST sequence runs for
512 cycles and stops. The BIST signature value for the selected
channel is written to Register 0x24 and Register 0x25.
If more than one channel is BIST-enabled, the channel that
is first according to alphabetical order is written to the BIST
signature registers. For example, if Channel B and Channel C
are BIST-enabled, the results from Channel B are written to the

AD6657
SERIAL PORT INTERFACE (SPI)
During an instruction phase, a 16-bit instruction is transmitted.
The first bit of the first byte in a serial data transfer frame indicates
whether a read command or a write command is issued. 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 AD6657 serial port interface (SPI) allows the user to configure the receiver for specific functions or operations through a
structured internal register space. The SPI provides 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, which are documented in the Memory Map
section. For detailed operational information, see Application
Note AN-877, Interfacing to High Speed ADCs via SPI.
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 read operation, the serial data
input/output (SDIO) pin changes direction from an input to an
output at the appropriate point in the serial frame.
CONFIGURATION USING THE SPI
Three pins define the SPI of the AD6657: SCLK, SDIO, and CSB
(see Table 12). SCLK (a serial clock) is used to synchronize the
read and write data presented from and to the AD6657. SDIO
(serial data input/output) is a bidirectional pin that allows data
to be sent to and read from the internal memory map registers.
CSB (chip select bar) is an active low control that enables or
disables the read and write cycles.
Data can be sent in MSB first mode or in LSB first mode.
MSB first is the default mode on power-up and can be changed
via the SPI port configuration register. For more information
about this and other features, see Application Note AN-877,
Interfacing to High Speed ADCs via SPI.
HARDWARE INTERFACE
The pins described in Table 12 constitute the physical interface
between the user programming device and the serial port of the
AD6657. 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 the write phase and as an output
during readback.

Function
Serial clock. Serial shift clock input. SCLK is used to
synchronize serial interface reads and writes.
Serial data input/output. Bidirectional pin that serves
as an input or an output, depending on the instruction
being sent and the relative position in the timing frame.
Chip select bar (active low). This control gates the read
and write cycles.
The SPI interface is flexible enough to be controlled by either
FPGAs or microcontrollers. One method for SPI configuration
is described in detail in Application Note AN-812, Microcontroller-Based Serial Port Interface (SPI) Boot Circuit.
The falling edge of the CSB pin, in conjunction with the rising
edge of the SCLK pin, determines the start of the framing. An
example of the serial timing can be found in Figure 51 (for
symbol definitions, see Table 5).
The SPI port should not be active during periods when the full
dynamic performance of the AD6657 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 AD6657 performance. If the on-board SPI bus is used
for other devices, it may be necessary to provide buffers between
this bus and the AD6657 to prevent these signals from transitioning at the receiver inputs during critical sampling periods.
CSB can be held low indefinitely, which permanently enables
the device; this is called streaming. CSB can stall high between
bytes to allow for additional external timing. When CSB is tied
high, SPI functions are placed in high impedance mode.

MEMORY MAP
READING THE MEMORY MAP REGISTER TABLE
Logic Levels
Each row in the memory map register table has eight bit locations (see Table 13). The memory map is roughly divided into
four sections: the chip configuration registers (Address 0x00
and Address 0x01); the channel index and transfer registers
(Address 0x05 and Address 0xFF); the ADC function registers,
including setup, control, and test (Address 0x08 to Address 0x25);
and the digital feature control registers (Address 0x3A to
Address 0x3E).
An explanation of logic level terminology follows:
The memory map register table (see Table 13) provides the
default hexadecimal value for each hexadecimal address shown.
The column with the heading (MSB) Bit 7 is the start of the
default hexadecimal value given. Application Note AN-877,
Interfacing to High Speed ADCs via SPI, documents the functions
controlled by Register 0x00 to Register 0xFF. The remaining
registers, Register 0x3A to Register 0x3E, are documented in
the Memory Map Register Descriptions section.
Open Locations
All address and bit locations that are not included in Table 13 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 AD6657 is reset, critical registers are loaded with
default values. The default values for the registers are given in
the memory map register table (see Table 13).
•
•
“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 0x3E 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 transfer bit is
autoclearing.
Channel-Specific Registers
Some channel setup functions, such as the NSR control function, can be programmed differently for each channel. In these
cases, channel address locations are internally duplicated for
each channel. These registers and bits are designated in Table 13
as local. Local registers and bits can be accessed by setting the
appropriate channel bits in Register 0x05.
If multiple channel bits are set, the subsequent write affects the
registers of all selected channels. In a read cycle, only a single
channel should be selected to read one of the registers. If multiple
channels are selected during a SPI read cycle, the part returns
the value for Channel A only. Registers and bits designated as
global in Table 13 affect the entire part or the channel features
for which there are no independent per-channel settings. The
settings in Register 0x05 do not affect the global registers and bits.

MEMORY MAP REGISTER DESCRIPTIONS
Bits[3:1]— NSR Mode
For additional information about functions controlled
in Register 0x00 to Register 0xFF, see Application Note
AN-877, Interfacing to High Speed ADCs via SPI.
Bits[3:1] determine the bandwidth mode of the NSR. When
Bits[3:1] are set to 000, the NSR is configured for a 22% BW
mode that provides enhanced SNR performance over 22% of
the sample rate. When Bits[3:1] are set to 001, the NSR is configured for a 33% BW mode that provides enhanced SNR
performance over 33% of the sample rate.
Sync Control (Register 0x3A)
Bits[7:2]—Reserved
Bit 1—Clock Divider Sync Enable
Bit 0—NSR 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 Enable
The NSR is enabled when Bit 0 is high and disabled when Bit 0
is low. Bit 0 is ignored unless the MODE pin disable bit (Bit 4)
is set.
NSR Tuning Word (Register 0x3E)
Bits[7:6]—Reserved
Bit 0 must be high to enable any of the sync functions. If
the sync capability is not used, this bit should remain low
to conserve power.
Bits[5:0]— NSR Tuning Word
NSR Control (Register 0x3C)
Bits[7:5]—Reserved
Bit 4—MODE Pin Disable
Bit 4 specifies whether the selected channels will be controlled
by the MODE pin. Local registers act on the channels that are
selected by the channel index register (Address 0x05).
The NSR tuning word sets the band edges of the NSR band. In
22% BW mode, there are 57 possible tuning words; in 33% BW
mode, there are 34 possible tuning words. For either mode, each
step represents 0.5% of the ADC sample rate. For the equations
used to calculate the tuning word based on the BW mode of
operation, see the Noise Shaping Requantizer (NSR) section.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
DESIGN GUIDELINES
VCMx Pins
Before starting the design and layout of the AD6657 as a system,
it is recommended that the designer become familiar with these
guidelines, which discuss the special circuit connections and
layout requirements needed for certain pins.
The VCMx pins are provided to set the common-mode level
of the analog inputs. The VCMx pins should be decoupled to
ground with a 0.1 μF capacitor, as shown in Figure 31.
Power and Ground Recommendations
The SPI port should not be active during periods when the full
dynamic performance of the AD6657 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 AD6657 performance. If the on-board SPI bus is used
for other devices, it may be necessary to provide buffers between
this bus and the AD6657 to prevent these signals from transitioning at the receiver inputs during critical sampling periods.
When connecting power to the AD6657, it is recommended
that two separate 1.8 V supplies be used. Use one supply for
analog (AVDD); use a separate supply for the digital outputs
(DRVDD). The AVDD and DRVDD supplies should be isolated
with separate decoupling capacitors. Several different decoupling
capacitors can be used to cover both high and low frequencies.
These capacitors should be located close to the point of entry
at the PCB level and close to the pins of the part, with minimal
trace length.
SPI Port
A single PCB ground plane should be sufficient when using the
AD6657. With proper decoupling and smart partitioning of the
PCB analog, digital, and clock sections, optimum performance
is easily achieved.
