Digital Costas Loop
Features
The Digital Costas Loop (DCL) performs many of the
baseband processing tasks required for the demodulation of
BPSK, QPSK, 8-PSK, OQPSK, FSK, AM and FM
waveforms. These tasks include matched filtering, carrier
tracking, symbol synchronization, AGC, and soft decision
slicing. The DCL is designed for use with the HSP50110
Digital Quadrature Tuner to provide a two chip solution for
digital down conversion and demodulation.
• Clock Rates Up to 52MHz
• Selectable Matched Filtering with Root Raised Cosine or
Integrate and Dump Filter
• Second Order Carrier and Symbol Tracking Loop Filters
• Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
• Discriminator for FM/FSK Detection and Discriminator
Aided Acquisition
The DCL processes the In-phase (I) and Quadrature (Q)
components of a baseband signal which have been digitized
to 10 bits. As shown in the block diagram, the main signal
path consists of a complex multiplier, selectable matched
filters, gain multipliers, cartesian-to-polar converter, and soft
decision slicer. The complex multiplier mixes the I and Q
inputs with the output of a quadrature NCO. Following the
mix function, selectable matched filters are provided, which
perform integrate and dump or root raised cosine filtering
( ~ 0.40). The matched filter output is routed to the slicer,
which generates 3-bit soft decisions, and to the cartesian-topolar converter, which generates the magnitude and phase
terms required by the AGC and Carrier Tracking Loops.

Applications
The PLL system solution is completed by the HSP50210
error detectors and second order Loop Filters that provide
carrier tracking and symbol synchronization signals. In
applications where the DCL is used with the HSP50110,
these control loops are closed through a serial interface
between the two parts. To maintain the demodulator
performance with varying signal power and SNR, an internal
AGC loop is provided to establish an optimal signal level at
the input to the slicer and to the cartesian-to-polar converter.

HSP50210
Functional Description
The HSP50210 Digital Costas Loop (DCL) contains most of
the baseband processing functions needed to implement a
digital Costas Loop Demodulator. These functions include
LO generation/mixing, matched filtering, AGC, carrier phase
and frequency error detection, timing error detection, carrier
loop filtering, bit sync loop filtering, lock detection,
acquisition/tracking control, and soft decision slicing for
forward error correction algorithms. While the DCL is
designed to work with the HSP50110 Digital Quadrature
Tuner (DQT) as a variable rate PSK demodulator for satellite
demodulation, functions on the chip are common to many
communications receivers.
The DCL provides the processing blocks for the three
tracking loops commonly found in a data demodulator: the
Automatic Gain Control (AGC) loop, the Carrier Tracking
Loop, and a Symbol Tracking Loop. The AGC loop adjusts
for input signal power variations caused by path loss or
signal-to-noise variations. The carrier tracking loop removes
the frequency and phase uncertainties in the carrier due to
oscillator inaccuracies and doppler. The symbol tracking
loop removes the frequency and phase uncertainties in the
data and generates a recovered clock synchronous with the
received data. Each loop consists of an error detector, a loop
filter, and a frequency or gain adjustment/control. The AGC
loop is internal to the DCL, while the symbol and carrier
tracking loops are closed external to the DCL. When the
DCL is used together with the HSP50110, the tracking loops
are closed around the baseband filtering to center the signal
in the filter bandwidth. In addition, the AGC function is
divided between the two chips with the HSP50110 providing
the coarse AGC, and the HSP50210 providing the fine or
final AGC.
A top level block diagram of the HSP50210 is shown in
Figure 1. This diagram shows the major blocks and the
multiplexers used to reconfigure the data path for various
architectures.
Input Controller
In-Phase (I) and Quadrature (Q) data enters the part through
the Input Controller. The 10-bit data enters in either serial or
parallel fashion using either two’s complement or offset
binary format. The input mode and binary format is set in the
Data Path Configuration Control Register, bits 14 and 15
(see Table 15 on page 32).
If Parallel Input mode is selected, I and Q data are clocked
into the part through IIN0-9 and QIN0-9 respectively. Data
enters the processing pipeline when the input enable
(SYNC) is sampled “low” by the processing clock (CLK). The
enable signal is pipelined with the data to the various
processing elements to minimize pipeline delay where
possible. As a result, the pipeline delay through the AGC,
Carrier Tracking, and Symbol Tracking Loop Filters is
measured in CLKs; not input data samples.
6
If serial input mode is selected, the I and Q data enters via
the ISER and QSER pins using SERCLK and SSYNC. The
beginning of a serial word is designated by asserting
SSYNC ‘high’ one SERCLK prior to the first data bit, as
shown in Figure 2. On the following SERCLKs, data is
shifted into the register until all 10 bits have been input. Data
shifting is then disabled and the contents of the register are
held until the next assertion of SSYNC. The assertion of a
SSYNC transfers data into the processing pipeline, and the
Shift Register is enabled to accept new data on the following
SERCLK. When data is transferred to the processing
pipeline by SSYNC, a processing enable is generated which
follows the data through the pipeline. This enable allows the
delay through processing elements (like the loop filters) to be
minimized since their pipeline delay is expressed in CLKs
not SSYNC periods. Note: SSYNC should not be
asserted for more than one SERCLK cycle.

Input Level Detector
The Input Level Detector generates a one-bit error signal for
an external IF AGC filter and amplifier. The error signal is
generated by comparing the magnitude of the input samples
to a user programmable threshold. The HI/LO pin is then
driven “high” or “low” depending on the relationship of its
magnitude to the threshold. The sense of the HI/LO pin is
programmable so that a magnitude exceeding the threshold
can either be represented as a “high” or “low” logic state.
The Input Level Detector (HI/LO output) threshold and the
sense are set by the Data Path Configuration Control
Register bits 16 to 23 and 13 (see Table 15 page 32).
Note: The Input Level Detector is typically not used in
applications which use the HSP50210 with the
HSP50110.
The high/low outputs can be integrated by an external loop
filter to close an AGC loop. Using this method, the gain of
the loop forces the median magnitude of the input samples
to the threshold. When the magnitude of half of the samples
is above the threshold (and half is below), the error signal is
integrated to zero by the loop filter. The magnitude of the
complex input is estimated using Equation 1:
Mag (I, Q) = I + 0.375  Q if I  Q and
(EQ. 1)
Mag (I, Q) = Q + 0.375  I if Q  I

HSP50210
NCO/Mixer
The NCO/Mixer performs a complex multiply between the
baseband input and the output of a quadrature NCO
(Numerically Controlled Oscillator). When the HSP50210
(DQT) is used with the HSP50110 (DCL), the NCO/Mixer
shortens the Carrier Tracking Loop (i.e., minimizes pipeline
delay around the loop) while providing wide loop
bandwidths. This becomes important when operating at
symbol rates near the maximum range of the part.
There are three configurations possible for closing the
Carrier Tracking Loop when the DQT and the DCL are used
together. The first configuration utilizes the NCO on the DQT
and bypasses the NCO in the DCL. The Data Path
Configuration Control Register (see Table 15 on page 32),
Bit 10, and Carrier Loop Filter Control Register #1
(see Table 21 on page 34), Bit 6, are used to bypass the
DCL NCO/Mixer and route the Loop filter outputs,
respectively. The DQT provides maximum flexibility in NCO
control with respect to frequency and phase offsets.
The second configuration feeds the lead Carrier Loop filter
term to the DCL NCO/Mixer, and the lag Loop filter Term to
the DQT NCO. This reduces the loop transport delay while
maintaining wide loop bandwidths and reasonable loop
damping factors. This configuration is especially useful in
SATCOM applications with medium to high symbol rates.
The Carrier Loop Filter Control Register #1, Bit 5 is where
the lead/lag destination is set.
The final configuration feeds both the lead and lag Carrier
Loop Filter terms back to the DCL NCO/Mixer. This provides
the shortest transport delay. The DCL NCO/Mixer provides
only for frequency/phase control from the Carrier Loop filter.
The center frequency of this NCO/Mixer is set to the average
of the Upper and Lower Carrier Loop Limits programmable
parameters. These parameters are set in the two control
registers bearing their names (see Tables 23 and 24 on
page 35).
The NCO/Mixer uses a complex multiplier to multiply the
baseband input by the output of a quadrature NCO. This
operation is represented by Equations 2 and 3:
I OUT = I IN cos   C  – Q IN sin   C 
(EQ. 2)
Q OUT = I IN sin   C  + Q IN cos   C 
(EQ. 3)
Equation 3 illustrates how the complex multiplier implicitly
performs the summing function when the DCL is configured
as a modulator. The quadrature outputs of the NCO are
generated by driving a sine/cosine look-up table with the
output of a phase accumulator, as shown in Figure 3 on
page 7. Each time the phase accumulator is clocked, its sum
is incremented by the contents of the Carrier Frequency (CF)
Register. As the accumulator sum increments from 0 to 232,
the SIN/COS ROM produces quadrature outputs whose
phase advances from 0 to 360°. The CF Register contains a
8
32-bit phase increment, which is updated with the output of
Carrier Tracking Loop. Large phase increments take fewer
clocks to step through the sine wave cycle, which results in a
higher frequency NCO output.
The CF Register sets the NCO frequency using Equation 4:
F C = f CLK   CF   2
32
CF = INT   F C  f CLK 2
(EQ. 4)
32
H
where fCLK is the CLK frequency, and CF is the 32-bit two’s
complement hexadecimal value loaded into the Carrier
Frequency Register. As an example, if the CF Register is
loaded with a value of 4000 0000 (Hex), and the CLK
frequency is 40MHz, the NCO would produce quadrature
terms with a frequency of 10MHz. When CF is a negative
value, a clockwise cos/sin vector rotation is produced. When
CF is positive, a counterclockwise vector rotation is
produced.
Note: The NCO is set to a fixed frequency by programming
the upper and lower limits of the Carrier Tracking Loop Filter
to the same value and zeroing the lead gain.
Matched Filtering
The HSP50210 provides two selectable matched filters: a
Root Raised Cosine Filter (RRC) and an Integrate and Dump
(I and D) filter. These are shown in Figure 3. The RRC filter
is provided for shaped data pulses and the I and D filter is
provided for square wave data. The filters may be cascaded
for better adjacent channel rejection for square wave data. If
these two filters do not meet baseband filtering
requirements, then they can be bypassed and an external
digital filter (such as the HSP43168 Dual FIR Filter or the
HSP43124 Serial I/O Filter) used to implement the desired
matched filter. The desired filter configuration is set in the
Data Path Configuration Control Register, bits 1 through 7
(see Table 15 on page 32).
The sample rate of the baseband input depends on the
symbol rate and filtering configuration chosen. In
configurations which bypass both filters or use only the RRC
Filter, the input sample rate must be twice the symbol rate. In
configurations which use the I and D Filter, the input sample
rate is decimated by the I and D Filter, down to two samples
per symbol. I and D configurations support input sample
rates up to 32x the input symbol rate.
The RRC filter is a fixed coefficient 15 Tap FIR filter. It has
~40% excess bandwidth beyond Nyquist, which equates to
 = ~0.4 shape factor. The filter frequency response is
shown in Figures 4 and 5. In addition, the 9-bit filter
coefficients are listed as integer values in Table 1. The noise
equivalent bandwidth of the RRC filter and other filter
configurations possible with the HSP50110/210 chipset are
given in Appendix A.

The I and D filter consists of an accumulator, a
programmable shifter and a two sample summer, as shown
in Figure 3. The programmable shifter is provided to
compensate for the gain introduced by the accumulator (see
Table 15). The accumulator provides Integrate and Dump
Filtering for decimation factors up to 16. The two sample
summer provides the moving average required for an
additional decimation factor of 2. A decimation factor of 1
(bypass), 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32 may be selected. At the maximum
decimation rate, a baseband signal sampled at 32x the
symbol rate can be filtered.
The output of the two sample summer is demultiplexed into
two sample streams at the symbol rate. The demultiplexed
data streams from the I and Q processing paths are fed to
the Symbol Tracking Block and Soft decision slicer. The
multiplexed data streams on I and Q are provided as one of
the selectable inputs for the Cartesian-to-Polar Converter.

(EQ. 5)
where 0.81 is the gain of the conversion process. The

where tan-1( ) is the arctangent function. The phase
conversion output is an 8-bit two’s complement output,
which ranges from -1.0 to 0.9922 (80 to 7f HEX,
respectively). The -1 to almost 1 range of the phase output
represents phase values from - to , respectively. An
example of the I/Q to phase mapping is shown in Figures 6A
through 6C. The phase and magnitude values may be output
via the Output Selector bits 0 through 3 (see Table 43).

The I/Q data path selected for input to the Cartesian-to-Polar
converter determines the input data rate of the AGC and
carrier tracking loops. If the I/Q data path out of the Integrate
and Dump Filter is selected, the AGC is fed with magnitude
values produced by the end-symbol samples. Magnitude
values produced by midsymbol samples are not used
because these samples occur on symbol transitions, resulting
in poor signal magnitude estimates. The Carrier Tracking
block is fed with phase values generated from both the end
and mid-symbol samples. The carrier tracking loop filter,
however, is only fed with Phase Error terms generated by the
end symbol samples. If the input of the I and D is selected for
input to the coordinate converter, the control loops are fed with
data at the I/Q data rate. The desired data path input to the
Cartesian to Polar converter is specified in the Data Path
Configuration Control Register, Bit 8 (see Table 15 on
page 32).

The AGC Loop Block Diagram, shown in Figure 7, consists
of an Error Detector, a Loop Filter, and Signal Gain Adjusters
(multipliers). The AGC Error Detector generates an error
signal by subtracting the programmable AGC threshold from
the magnitude output of the Cartesian to Polar Converter.
This difference signal is scaled (gain adjusted via multiplier
and shifter), then filtered (integrated) by the AGC Loop Filter
to generate the gain correction to the I and Q signals at the
multipliers. If a fixed gain is desired, set the upper and lower
limits equal.

The AGC responds to the magnitude of the sum of all the

the Integrate and Dump filter shown in Figure 7 on page 12,

At high SNR’s the signal of interest is significantly greater
than the other components. At lower SNR’s, components 2
or 3 may become greater than the signal of interest.
Narrowing the filter bandwidth is the primary technique
used to mitigate magnitude contributions of component 3.
This will also improve the SNR by reducing the magnitude
contributions of element 2. Consideration of the range of
signal amplitudes expected into the HSP50210, in
conjunction with a gain distribution analysis, will provide the

the AGC Loop Gain Exponent. When combined, the exponent
and mantissa provide a loop gain defined as Equation 7:
Note: Failure to consider the variations due to noise or
interfering signals, can result in signal limiting in the
HSP50210 processing algorithms, which will degrade the
system Bit Error Rate performance.
AGC Loop Gain: G AGC =   M   2
The AGC Loop is configured by the Power Detect Threshold
and AGC Loop Parameters Control Registers (see Tables 16
and 17 on page 33). Seven programmable parameters must be
set to configure the AGC Loop and its status outputs. Two
parameters, the Power Threshold and the AGC Threshold are
associated with the Error Detector and are represented in 8-bit
fractional unsigned binary format: 202-12-22-32-42-52-62-7.
While the format provides a range from 0 to 1.9961 for the
thresholds, the Cartesian-to-Polar Converter scales the I
and Q input magnitudes by 0.81. Thus, if a full scale (±1)
complex (I and Q) input signal is presented to the converter,
the output will be (0.81)2 + (0.81)2 = 1.1455. The AGC
Threshold parameter value is the desired magnitude of the
signal as it enters the Soft Decision Slicer. It is the parameter
that will determine the error signal in the AGC loop. The
Power Threshold, on the other hand, determines only the
power threshold at which the THRESH signal is asserted. If
the signal magnitude exceeds the threshold, then the
THRESH is asserted. This may be used for signal detection,
power detection or external AGC around the A/D converter.
The AGC Threshold parameter is set in the AGC Loop
Parameters Control Register, Bits 16 through 23 (see
Table 17 on page 33). The Power Threshold parameter is
set in the Power Detect Threshold Control Register, Bits 0
through 7 (see Table 16 on page 33). Note that these two
threshold parameters are not required to be set to identical
or even related values, since they perform independent
functions.

where M is a binary number with a range from 0 to 15 and E
is a 3-bit binary value from 0 to 7. M and E are the
parameters set in the AGC Loop Parameters Control
Register, Bits 24 through 30 (see Table 17 on page 33). The
composite range of the AGC loop Gain is 0.0000 to
[0.9375][2 to 7]. This will scale the AGC error signal to a
range of 0.000 to (1.1455)(0.9375)(2 to 7) = 1.07297(2 to 7).

The remaining AGC parameters determine the AGC loop
characteristics: gain tracking, tracking rate and tracking limits.
The AGC Loop gain is set via two parameters: AGC Loop Gain
Exponent and AGC Loop Gain Mantissa. In general, the higher
the loop gain, the faster signal level acquisition and tracking,
but this must be tempered by the specific signal characteristics
of the application and the remaining programmable loop
parameters. For the HSP50210, the AGC Loop Gain provides
for a variable attenuation of the input to the loop filter. The AGC
gain mantissa is a 4-bit value which provides error signal
scaling from 0.000 to 0.9375, with a resolution of 0.0625.
Table 2 on page 11 details the discrete set of decimal values
possible for the AGC Loop Gain mantissa. The exponent

The AGC Loop Filter integrates the scaled error signal to
provide a correction control term to the multipliers in the I and
Q path. The loop filter accumulator has internal upper and
lower limiters. The upper eight bits of the accumulator output
map to an exponent and mantissa format that is used to set
these upper and lower limits. The format, illustrated in Figure
8, is used for the AGC Upper Limit, AGC Lower Limit and the
Correction Control Term (AGC output). This format should not
be confused with the similar format used for the AGC Loop
Gain. The input to the AGC Loop Filter is included in Figure 8
to show the relative weighting of the input to output of the loop
filter. The loop filter input is represented as the eleven letter
“G”s. Lower case “e” and “m” detail the format for the AGC
Upper and Lower Limits. This change in type case should help
keep the AGC Limits and AGC Gain formats from being
confused. The AGC Upper and Lower Limits are set in the
AGC Loop Parameters Control Register, Bits 0 through15,
(see Table 17). This 6-bit unsigned mantissa format provides
for an AGC output control range from 0.0000 to 0.9844, with a
resolution of 0.015625. The 2-bit exponent format provides an
AGC output control range from 1 to 8. The decimal values for
each of the 64 binary mantissa values is detailed in Table 4,
while Table 5 details the decimal value for the 4 exponent
values.
The AGC Output is implemented in the multiplier according
to Equations 8 and 9.

(EQ. 9)
where m and e are the binary values for mantissa and
exponent found in Tables 4 and 5.
Note: This format is identical to the format used to program
the AGC Upper and Lower Limits, but in this usage it is not a
programmed value. It is a representation of the digital AGC
output number, which is presented to the Gain Adjuster
(multipliers) to correct the gain of the I and Q data signals in
the main data path.
These equations yield a composite (mantissa and
exponent) AGC output range of 0.0000 to 1.9844(23) which
is a logarithmic range from 0dB to 24dB. Figure 9 has
graphed the results of Equations 8 and 9 for both the linear
and logarithmic equations. Figure 9 also has a linear
estimate of the logarithmic equation. This linear
approximation will be used in calculating the AGC response
time.

The AGC loop response is a function of the programmable
gain, the bit weightings inherent in the connection of each
element of the loop, the AGC Loop filter limits and the
magnitude of the input gain error step. Table 6 on page 14
details the bit weighting between each element of the AGC
Loop from the error detector through the weighting at the
gain adjuster in the signal path. The AGC Loop Gain sets the
growth rate of the sum in the loop filter accumulator. The
Loop filter output growth rate determines how quickly the
AGC loop traces the transfer function shown previously in
Figure 9. To calculate the rate at which the AGC can adjust
over a given period of time, a gain step is introduced to the
gain error detector and the amount of change that is
observed between clocks at the AGC Level Adjusters
(multipliers) is the AGC response time in dB per symbol.
This AGC loop will respond immediately with the greatest
correction term, then asymptotically approach zero
correction.

There are two techniques for setting a fixed gain for the
AGC. The first is to set Control Word 2 Bit 31 = 1. This
precludes any error update of present AGC gain value. The
second is to set the upper and lower AGC limits to the
desired gain using Figure 9. The upper and lower limits
have the same value for this case.
The HSP50210 provides two mechanisms for monitoring
signal strength. The first, which involved the THRESH
signal, has already been described. The second
mechanism is via the Microprocessor Interface. The 8 most
significant bits of the AGC loop filter output can be read by
a microprocessor. Refer to the “Microprocessor Interface”
on page 27 for details of how to read this value. This AGC
value has the format described in Figure 8.
We begin calculation of the loop response with a full scale
error detector input of ±1. This error input is scaled by the
Cartesian to Polar converter, the error detector and the AGC

and setting the AGC limits as wide as possible. A calculation
using only exponent terms of the various gains will be
sufficient to yield a rough order of magnitude of the range of
the AGC Loop response. The results are shaded in the last
column of Table 6 on page 14 and provided in detail in
Equations 10 and 11.
Loop Gain, accumulated in the loop filter, limited and output to
the gain adjusters. The AGC loop tries to make the error
correction as quickly as possible, but is limited by the AGC
Loop Gain and potentially, the AGC limits. The maximum
AGC response is the maximum gain adjustment made in any
given clock cycle. This involves applying maximum Loop gain

NOTES:
1. If the Mixer is enabled, the result of the complex multiply is scaled by two (G = 0.5). If the mixer is bypassed, the data passes unmodified (G = 1.0).
2. If the Root Raised Cosine Filter is enabled, a gain of G = 1.13 is introduced. If the RRC filters bypassed, the gain is unity.
3. If the integrate and Dump Filter is bypassed the Sample Pair summer has a gain of G = 1.0 and the 2-7-bit position is set to 1. If the integrate
and dump is enabled, the sample pair sum is scaled by one half (G = 0.5).
4. The negative sign on the MSBs indicates use of 2’s complement data format.
FIGURE 10. GAIN DISTRIBUTION AND INTERMEDIATE BIT WEIGHTINGS
Gain Distribution
The gain distribution in the DCL is shown in Figure 10.
These gains consist of a combination of fixed,
programmable, and adaptive gains. The fixed gains are
introduced by processing elements such as the Mixer and
Square Root of Root Raised Cosine Filter. The adaptive
gains are set to compensate for variations in input signal
strength.
The main signal path, with processing block gains and path
bit weightings, is shown in Figure 10. The quadrature inputs
to the HSP50210 are 10-bit fractional two’s complement
numbers with relative bit weightings, as shown in Figure 10.
The first element in the processing chain is the Mixer, which
scales the quadrature outputs of the complex multiplier by
1/2 providing a gain of G = 0.5. If the Mixer is bypassed, the
signal is passed unmodified with a gain of 1.0. Following the
mixer, the quadrature signal is passed to the fixed coefficient
RRC filtering block, which has a gain of 1.13 if enabled and
1.0 if bypassed. Next, the AGC supplies gain to maintain an
optimal signal level at the input to the Soft Decision Slicer,
Cartesian-to-Polar Converter, and the Symbol Tracking
Loop. The gain supplied by the AGC ranges from 1.0 to
1.9844*23.
15
Following the AGC, the signal path is limited to 8 bits and
passed through the Integrate and Dump Filter en route to the
Soft Decision Slicer and Symbol Tracking Block. The I and D
Filter uses an accumulator together with a sample pair summer
to achieve the desired decimation rate. The I and D shifter is
provided to compensate for the gain introduced by the I and D
Accumulator. The accumulator introduces gain equal to the
decimation factor R, and the shifter gain can be set to 1/R. For
example, if the I and D Filter decimation of 16 is chosen, the I
and D Accumulator will accumulate 8 samples before dumping,
which produces a gain of 8. Thus, for unity gain, the I and D
Shifter would be set for a gain of 2-3. The Sample Pair Summer
is unity gain since its output is scaled by one-half.
Symbol Tracking
The symbol tracking loop adjusts the baseband sampling
frequency to force sampling of the baseband waveform at
optimal points for data decisions. The key elements of this loop
are the Sampling Error Detector and Symbol Tracking Loop
Filter shown in Figure 11. The output of these two blocks is a
frequency correction term which is used to adjust the baseband
sample frequency external to the HSP50210. In typical
applications, the frequency correction term is fed back to the
HSP50110 to adjust baseband sampling via the Resampling
NCO (see HSP50110 Datasheet).

Sampling Error Detector
Symbol Tracking Loop Filter
The Sampling Error Detector is a decision based error
detector which determines sampling errors on both the I and
Q processing paths. The detector assumes that it is fed with
samples of the baseband waveform taken in the middle of
the symbol period (mid-symbol sample) and between
symbols (end-symbol sample) as shown in Figure 12. The
sampling error is a measure of how far the mid-symbol
sample is from the symbol transition mid-point. The
transition mid-point is half way between two symbol
decisions. The detector makes symbol decisions by
comparing the end-symbol samples against a selectable
threshold set (see Modulation Order Select bits 9 through 10
in Table 29 on page 37). The error term is generated by
subtracting the mid-symbol sample from the transition midpoint. The sign of the error term is negated for negatively
sloped symbol transitions. If no symbol transitions are
detected the error detector output is zeroed. Errors on both
the I and Q processing paths are summed and divided by
two if Double Rail error detection is selected (see Symbol
Tracking Configuration Control Register, Bit 8: Table 29 on
page 37).
The Symbol Tracking Loop Filter is a second order lead/lag
filter. The sampling error is weighted by the lag gain and
accumulated to give the integral response (see Figure 11).
The Lag Accumulator output is summed with the sampling
error weighted by the Lead Gain. The result is a frequency
term which is output serially, via the SOF output, to the
NCO/VCO controlling the baseband sample rate (see “Serial
Output Interfaces” on page 23). In basic configurations, the
SOF output of the HSP50210 is connected to the SOF input of
the HSP50110.
The sampling Error Detector provides an error accumulator
to compensate for the processing rate of the loop filter. The
error detector generates outputs at the symbol rate, but the
loop filter can only accept inputs every eight fCLK clocks.
Thus, if the symbol rate is faster than 1/8 CLK, the error
accumulator should be used to accumulate the error until the
loop filter is ready for a new input. If the error accumulator is
not used when the symbol rate exceeds 1/8 CLK, some error
outputs will be missed. For example, if fCLK = 40MHz, then
error accumulation is required for symbol rates greater than
5 MSPS (fCLK/8). Note: The loop filter lead gain term must
be scaled accordingly if the accumulator is used.

Two sets of registers are provided to store the loop gain
parameters associated with acquisition and tracking. The
appropriate loop gain parameters are selected manually via
the Microprocessor Interface or automatically via the Carrier
Lock Detector. The loop filter’s lead and lag gain terms are
represented as a mantissa and exponent. The mantissa is a
4-bit value which weights the loop filter input from 1.0 to
1.9375. The exponent defines a shift factor that provides
additional weighting from 2-1 to 2-32. Together the loop gain
mantissa and exponent provide a gain range between 2-32
and ~1.0 as given by Equation 10.
(EQ. 10)
where M = a 4-bit binary number from 0 to 15, and E is a 5-bit
binary value ranging from 0 to 31. For example, if M = 0101
and E = 00110, the Gain = 1.3125*2-26. They are stored in the
Control Registers described in Tables 32 and 33 beginning on
page 38.
A limiter is provided on the lag accumulator output to keep the
baseband sample rate within a user defined range (see
Tables 30 and 31 on page 38). If the lag accumulator exceeds
either the upper or lower limit, the accumulator is loaded with
the limit. For additional loop filter control, the loop filter output
can be frozen by asserting the FZ_ST pin which null the
sampling error term into the loop filter. The lag accumulator
can be initialized to a particular value and can be read via the
microprocessor interface as described in “Reading from the
Microprocessor Interface” on page 27, and Table 34 on
page 39. The symbol tracking loop filter bit weighting is
identical to the carrier tracking loop bit weighting, shown in
Figures 9 and 10.
Soft Decision Slicer
The Soft Decision Slicer encodes the I/Q end-symbol
samples into 3-bit soft decisions. The input to the slicer is
assumed to be a bipolar (2ary) baseband signal
representing encoded values of either ‘1’ or ‘0’. The most
significant bit of the 3-bit soft decision represents a hard
decision with respect to the mid-point between the expected
symbol values. The 2 LSBs represent a level of confidence
in the decision. They are determined by comparing the
magnitude of the slicer input to multiples (1x, 2x, and 3x) of a
programmable soft decision threshold (see Figure 13).

The soft decision threshold represents a range of
magnitude values from 0.0 to ~0.5. Note: Since the input to
the slicer has a range of 0.0 to ~1.0, the threshold setting
should be set to less than 1.0/3 = 0.33. This avoids
saturation. The slicer decisions are output in either a two’s
complement or sign/magnitude format (see Soft Decision
Slicer Configuration Control Register, Bit 7: Table 41 on
page 42). The slicer input to output mapping for a range of
input magnitudes is given in Table 7. For example, a
negative input to the slicer whose magnitude is greater
than twice the programmable threshold but less than 3x the
threshold would produce a sign/magnitude output of 110
(BINARY). The I and Q inputs to the slicer are encoded into
3-bit soft decisions ISOFT(2-0) and QSOFT(3-0). These
signals are routed to the OUTA(9-4) outputs by the Output
Configuration Control Register Selector bits 0-3 (see
Table 43 on page 44).
18
Carrier Phase Error Detector
The Carrier Phase Error is computed by removing the
phase modulation from the phase output of the
Cartesian-to-Polar Converter. To remove the modulation,
the phase term is rotated and multiplied (modulo 2)to fold
the Phase Error into an arc centered about 0° but
encompasses the whole plane, as shown in Figure 14. The
phase rotation is performed by adding a 4-bit two’s
complement phase offset (resolution 22.5°) to the 4 MSBs
of the 8-bit phase term. The multiplication is performed by
left shifting the result from 0 to 3 positions with the MSBs
discarded and zeros inserted into the LSBs. For example,
Carrier Phase Error produces I/Q constellation points which
are rotated from the expected constellation points as
shown in Figure 14. By adding an offset of 45° (0010 0000
binary) and multiplying by 4 (left shift by two positions) the
phase modulation is removed, and the error is folded into a
90° arc centered at 0°. The left axis represents a decision
boundary of ±45°C, implying the vertical axis is ±22.5° as
shown in Figure 15. The phase offset and shift factors
required for different PSK orders is given in Table 9 on
page 21. Configuration of the Carrier Phase Error Detector
is done via the Carrier Phase Error Detector Control
Register, bits 0 to 5, (see Table 18 on page 33). The Phase
Error term may be selected for output via the Output
Selector Configuration Control Register, bits 0 to 3 (see
Table 43 on page 44).
FN3652.5
July 2, 2008
HSP50210
In applications where Phase Error terms are generated
faster than the processing rate of the Carrier Loop Filter, an
error accumulator is provided to accumulate errors until the
loop filter is ready for a new input. Phase Error terms are
generated at the rate I/Q samples are input to the Cartesian
to Polar Converter. However, the Carrier Loop Filter cannot
accept new input faster than CLK/6 since six CLK(f CLK)
clock edges are required to complete its processing cycle. If
the error accumulator is not used and the I/Q sample rate
exceeds CLK/6, error terms will be missed.
Note: The carrier Phase Error terms input to the loop filter
are only generated from the end-symbol samples when the
output of the I and D filter is selected for input to the
Cartesian-to-Polar converter.
Note: The loop filter lead gain term must be scaled
accordingly if the accumulator is used.

Carrier Loop Filter
The Carrier Loop Filter is second order lead/lag filter as
shown in Figure 14. The loop filter is similar to the Symbol
Tracking Loop Filter except for the additional terms from the
AFC Loop Filter and the Frequency Sweep Block. The
output of the Lag Accumulator is summed with the weighted
Phase Error term on the lead path to produce a frequency
control term. The Carrier Loop Filter is configured for

The gain for the lead and lag paths of the Carrier Loop Filter
are set through a programmable mantissa and exponent.
The mantissa is a 4-bit value which weights the loop filter
input from 1.0 to 1.9375. The exponent defines a shift factor
that provides additional weighting from 2-1 to 2-32. Together
the loop gain mantissa and exponent provide a gain range
between 2-32 and ~1.0 as given by Equation 11.
(EQ. 11)
where M = a 4-bit binary number from 0 to 15, and E is
a 5-bit binary value ranging from 0 to 31. For example, if
M = 0101 and E = 00110, the Gain = 1.3125*2-26. The loop
gain mantissa and exponent are set in the Carrier Loop Gain
Control Registers (see Tables 25 through 26 on page 36).

The Carrier Tracking Loop is closed by using the loop filter
output to control the NCO or VCO used to down convert the
channel of interest. In basic configurations, the frequency
correction term controls the Synthesizer NCO in the
HSP50110 Digital Quadrature Tuner via the COF and
COFSYNC pins of the HSP50210’s serial interface (see
“Serial Output Interfaces” on page 23). In applications where
the carrier tracking is performed using the NCO on board the
HSP50210, the loop filter output is fed to the on-board NCO
as a frequency control.

operation by the Control Registers described in Tables 21
through 28 beginning on page 34.
The Phase Error input to the Carrier Loop Filter is an 8-bit
fractional two’s complement number between ~1.0 to -1.0
(Format -20. 2-12-22-32-42-52-62-7). Some LSBs are zero for
BPSK, QPSK and 8-PSK. If minimum loop gain is used, the
Phase Error is shifted in significance by 2-32. With maximum
loop gain, the Phase Error is passed almost unattenuated.
The output of the Carrier Loop filter is a 40-bit fractional
two’s complement number between ~1.0 and -1.0 (Format 20. 2-12-22-3..... 2-392-40). In typical applications, the 32
MSBs of the loop filter output represent the frequency
control word needed to adjust the down converting NCO for
phase lock. Tables 9 and 10 beginning on page 21 illustrate
the bit weighting of the Carrier Loop Filter into the NCO for
both tracking and acquisition sweep modes.
A limiter is provided on the Carrier lag accumulator output to
keep frequency tracking within a user defined range (see
Tables 23 and 24 on page 35). If the lag accumulator
exceeds either the upper or lower limit the accumulator is
loaded with the limit. For additional loop filter control, the
Carrier Loop Filter output can be frozen by asserting the
FZ_CT pin which nulls the Phase Error term into the loop
filter. Also, the lag accumulator can be initialized to a
particular value via the Microprocessor Interface as
described in Table 28 on page 37 and can be read via the
microprocessor interface as described in “Reading from the
Microprocessor Interface” on page 27.

Frequency Sweep Block
The Frequency Sweep Block is used during carrier acquisition
to sweep the range of carrier uncertainty. The Sweep Block is
loaded with a programmable value which is input to the lag path
of the Carrier Tracking Loop Filter when frequency sweep is
enabled. The sweep value is accumulated by the loop filter’s
lag accumulator which causes a frequency sweep between the
accumulator’s upper and lower limits. When one of the limits is
reached, the sweep value is inverted to sweep the frequency
back toward the other limit. The Frequency Sweep Block is
controlled by the Lock Detector and is only enabled during
carrier acquisition (see “Lock Detector Control” on page 24).
A stepped acquisition mode is provided for microprocessor
controlled acquisition. In the stepped acquisition mode, the lag
accumulator is incremented or decremented by the
programmed sweep value each time the lock detector is
restarted during acquisition. This technique prevents the loop
from sweeping past the lock point before the microprocessor
can respond. Typically in stepped acquisition mode, the step
value is set to a percentage of the loop bandwidth. A dwell
counter is also provided for stepped acquisition. This counter
holds off the lock detector integration from 1 to 129 symbols to
allow the loop to settle before starting the integration.
The sweep value is set via a programmable mantissa and
exponent. The format is 01.MMMM * 2-(28 - EEEEE) where
MMMM is the 4-bit mantissa and EEEEE is the 5-bit exponent
and the weighting is relative to the MSB of the NCO control
word. In swept acquisition mode, the sweep value is the
amount that the carrier lag accumulator is incremented or
decremented each time a new filter output is calculated (sweep
rate/N). In stepped acquisition mode, it is the amount the lag
accumulator is incremented or decremented each time that the
lock detector is restarted. (See Frequency Sweep/AFC Control
Loop Control Register, Table 27.)
Carrier Frequency Detector
The Frequency Detector generates a frequency term for use
in Automatic Frequency Control (AFC) configurations. The
Frequency Detector (discriminator) subtracts a previous
Phase Error sample from the current one (d/dt) to produce a
term proportional to the carrier frequency. The discriminator
gain is adjusted by programming a variable delay (1-16)
between the samples subtracted (see Frequency Detector
Control Register; Table 19).
Note: The input to the discriminator corresponds to phase
terms taken from baseband samples at either the SYNC rate or
twice symbol rate depending on the input source chosen for the
Cartesian-to-Polar converter.
Carrier Frequency Error Detector
The Frequency Error Detector is used to generate a frequency
error term for FSK modulated waveforms. The error is
computed by adding an offset and shifting the frequency
detector output in a manner similar to that used by the Phase
23
Error Detector. For PSK demodulation, this block is bypassed
by setting the offset and shift terms to zero (see Frequency
Error Detector Control Register; Table 20 on page 34). The
frequency error term may be selected for output via the Output
Select Block. (See Serial Output Configuration Control
Register, Table 42 on page 42).
Automatic Frequency Control (AFC)
Loop Filter
The AFC Loop Filter supplies a frequency correction term to
the lag path of the Carrier Loop filter. The frequency correction
term is generated by weighting the output of the Frequency
Error Detector by a user programmable weight (see
Sweep/AFC Control Register; Table 27). Note: If AFC is not
desired, the frequency error term to the loop filter is nulled via
the Carrier Tracking Configuration Control Register #2 (see
Table 22 on page 35).
Serial Output Interfaces
Frequency control data for Carrier and Symbol Tracking is
output from the DCL through two separate serial interfaces.
The Carrier Offset frequency control is output via the COF
and COFSYNC pins. The Symbol Tracking Offset frequency
control is output via the SOF and SOFSYNC pins. A
SLOCLK is provided to allow for reduced serial rate data
exchanges. The timing relationship of these signals is shown
in Figure 16.

FIGURE 16. SERIAL OUTPUT TIMING FOR COF AND SOF
OUTPUTS
Each serial word has a programmable word width of either 8,
12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, or 40 bits (see Table 42, CW27, bits 4
through 6 for COF and bits 0 through 2 for SOF). The
polarity of the sync signals is programmable and is set in
CW27 Bit 12 for SOF and Bit 11 for COF. The polarity of the
serial clock to the serial data is programmed via CW27
Bit 10. If reduced rate frequency updates is required, the
SLOCLK rate is selected via CW27 Bit 7 and the rate is set
via CW27 bits 8 through 9, to be either CLK/2, CLK/4, CLK/8
or CLK/16. Note that if the DCL is used with the HSP50110
DQT, then the SLOCLK cannot be used, i.e., the serial clock
must be set to be CLK.
Lock Detector
The Lock Detector consists of the Dwell Counter, Integration
Counter, Phase Error Accumulator, False Lock/Frequency
Accumulator, Gain Error Accumulator and the Lock Detect
FN3652.5
July 2, 2008
HSP50210
State Machine (see Figure 16). The function of the Lock
Detector is to monitor the baseband symbols and to decide
whether the Carrier Tracking Loop is locked to the input
signal. Note: The Symbol Tracking Loop locks
independently; under most circumstances, it will lock before
the Carrier Tracking Loop locks up. Based on the
in-lock/out-of-lock decision, either the Acquisition or Tracking
parameters are selected in the Carrier Tracking Loop, the
Symbol Tracking Loop and in the Lock Detector itself. The
Lock Detector can be configured either to make the “lock”
decision automatically using the State Machine Control
Mode, or to collect the necessary data so that an external
microprocessor can control the acquisition/tracking process
via the Microprocessor Control Mode (see Figure 22).
In State Machine Control Mode, the Lock Detector State
Machine monitors the outputs of the Phase Error Accumulator
and the False Lock Accumulator to determine the Lock
Detector state. Accumulation effectively averages the Phase
Error and false lock count, reducing their variance. Lock is
detected by accumulating the magnitude of the Phase Error
over a predetermined interval up to 1025 symbols (the
Integration Time). When the Carrier Loop is locked, the
Integration Period will end before an overflow occurs in the
Phase Error Accumulator. At the beginning of a lock detection
cycle, the Phase Error Accumulator and the Integration Counter
are loaded with their respective pre-load values. With each end
bit sample, the Phase Error Accumulator adds the magnitude of
the current Phase Error to its accumulated sum, while the
Integration Counter decrements one count. The Lock Detector
State Machine monitors the overflow bit of the Phase Error
Accumulator and the output of the Integration Counter. If the
Phase Error Accumulator overflows before the Integration
Counter reaches zero, then the accumulated Phase Error is too
large for the Carrier Tracking Loop to be in lock and the Lock
Detector State Machine goes into the Search state (see Lock
Detector State Machine in Figure 17). In the search state, the
loop parameters are reloaded with “Acquisition” rather than
“Tracking” values. When the Phase Accumulator overflows or
when the Integration Counter reaches zero, the Integration
Counter and the accumulators are re-initialized and the process
begins again. The Integration Counter Pre-load corresponds to
the number of symbols over which to integrate. The Phase
Error Preload corresponds to the distance the Phase Error
Accumulator starts away from overflow. This distance divided
by the Integration Period equals the average Phase Error. The
pre-load value is calculated using Equation 12:
Preload =
Lock Threshold
Full Scale –  ---------------------------------------------- x 128 x Integration Count
 Full Scale Phase

(EQ. 12)
where
Full scale = 218-1
Full scale phase = 180° for CW, 90° for BPSK, 45° for QPSK,
etc;
24
Lock Threshold <45° for BPSK, <22.5° for QPSK, etc.
(typical after shift); and Integration Count = Integration
Period measured in symbol times.
The False Lock Detector is used to indicate false lock on
square wave data in a high SNR environment. A false lock
condition is detected by monitoring the final integration stage
in the Q branch of the Integrate and Dump Filter (see
Figure 3 on page 7). If the magnitude of the integration over
the symbol period is less than the integration over half a
symbol period, a possible false lock condition is detected;
(integration over a symbol period has gone from end-bit to
end-bit, while integration over half the symbol period has
gone from the previous end-bit to mid-bit). By accumulating
the number of these occurrences over the Integration
Period, the Lock Detector State Machine determines
whether a false lock condition exists. The False Lock
Accumulator is used to accumulate the number of possible
false lock occurrences over the Integration Period. The
False Lock Accumulator can also be configured to
accumulate the output of the Frequency Error Detector (see
Lock Detection Configuration Control Register Bit 27:
Table 35 on page 40).
The Gain Error Accumulator provides a mechanism to
estimate data quality (Es/No). The accumulator integrates
the magnitude of the gain error of the end-bit samples, over
the Integration Period. Note: The Gain Error end-bit data is
valid only after lock has been declared, and the demod is
the tracking mode. The accumulated value gives an
indication of the variance about the ideal constellation
points. The accumulator output is read via the
Microprocessor Interface. The Gain Error Accumulator is
always pre-loaded with zero.
For applications where stepped acquisition is used, a Dwell
Counter is provided. In this mode, the lag accumulator in the
Carrier Loop Filter is stepped to a new frequency after each
Lock Detector integration. The Dwell Counter is used to hold
off Lock Accumulator integration until the loop has a chance
to settle.
Lock Detector Control
The selection of acquisition and tracking modes is controlled
by either the internal state machine or an external
microprocessor. The internal state machine monitors the
rollover of the Phase Error Accumulator and the False Lock
Accumulator relative to the Integration Counter. Depending
on whether the accumulators or counter roll over first, the
acquisition or tracking parameters are selected for the Loop
Filters and the Lock Detector Accumulators. In addition, the
state machine controls the frequency sweep input to the
Carrier Tracking Loop.
The flow of the acquisition control is shown in the State
Diagram in Figure 18 on page 26. The state machine
controls the acquisition process described as follows:
FN3652.5
July 2, 2008
HSP50210
The lock state is maintained as long as the Integration
Counter rolls over before the Phase Error Accumulator.
Search. The frequency uncertainty is swept by enabling the
Frequency Sweep Block to the lag path of the Carrier
Tracking Loop Filter. The acquisition parameters are
enabled to the Loop Filters and the Lock Detector
Accumulators. Phase lock is obtained when the Lock
Counter rolls over before the Phase Error Accumulator
(average Phase Error is less than the lock threshold).
If the acquisition and tracking process is controlled externally,
the Phase Error Accumulator and False Lock Accumulators
are monitored by an external processor to determine when
lock has been achieved. In this mode the accumulator
pre-loads are typically set to zero and the accumulator output
is compared in the processor against a threshold equal to the
maximum Phase Error per sample times the number of
samples per Integration Period. The accumulators stop after
each Integration Period to hold their outputs for reading via
the Microprocessor Interface (see Read Enable Address Map;
Table 13 on page 28). The accumulators are restarted by
writing the Initialize Lock Detector Control address (see
Initialize Lock Detector Control Register: Table 45 on
page 46). To simplify the processor interface, the LKINT
output is provided to interrupt the processor when the
accumulator integration period is complete. The processor
controls the use of the acquisition/tracking parameters and
lock status line by setting the appropriate bits in the
Acquisition/Tracking Configuration Control Register (see
Table 38 on page 41). In addition, the frequency sweep
function is enabled via the Microprocessor Interface.
Verify. Once phase lock is obtained, the frequency sweep is
disabled and the tracking parameters are enabled. Lock is
verified if the accumulated Phase Error is below the
threshold for a programmable number of Integration Periods.
False lock conditions are also monitored by comparing the
roll over of the False Lock Accumulator to that of the
Integration Counter. If the False Lock Accumulator rolls over
before the Integration Counter, a false lock condition exists.
False Lock. Once a false lock has been determined, the
Frequency Sweep block is enabled to move the carrier
tracking beyond the false lock region. The Frequency Sweep
is performed for a programmable number of Integration
Periods before returning to the search state.
Lock. When phase lock has been verified, the Lock status
output is asserted and the False Lock Detector is disabled.

Serial Output Controller
The frequency correction terms generated by the Symbol
and Carrier Loop Filters are output through two separate
serial interfaces. The symbol frequency offset used to close
the symbol Tracking Loop is output via the SOF and
SOFSYNC outputs. The carrier offset frequency used to
close the Carrier Tracking Loop is output via the COF and
COFSYNC outputs.
The serial output timing, identical for both of the loop filter
outputs, is shown in Figure 19. The data word is output MSB
first starting with the first rising edge of either CLK or
SLOCLK that follows the assertion of sync (COFSYNC or
SOFSYNC). The HSP50210 is configured to output the
serial data with either CLK or SLOCLK (see Serial Output
Configuration Control Registers Bit 7, Table 42 on page 42).
The SLOCLK output is a programmable sub-multiple of CLK
which is provided for applications requiring a slower serial
clock. In applications where the HSP50210 is used with the
HSP50110, both parts must be supplied with the same CLK
and the HSP50210 is configured to use CLK as the serial
clock. The serial output can be configured for word
containing from 8 to 40 bits.

Microprocessor Interface
The Microprocessor Interface is used to write the
HSP50210’s Control Registers and monitor various read
points within the demodulator. Data written to the interface is
loaded into a set of four 8-bit holding registers, one Write
Address Register, or one Read Address Register. These
registers are accessed via the 3-bit address bus (A0-2) and
an 8-bit data bus (C0-7) as shown in Table 12. The R/W
column indicates whether the data is read from or written to
the given address.

register specifies an internal read point as given the by
address map in Table 12. Addresses outside the range
0-4 are invalid.
R
000 Selects output holding register bits 7-0 for output on
C7-0 respectively. Bit 0 is the LSB of the internal holding
register.
R

R
011 Selects output holding register bits 31-24 for output on
C7-0, respectively. Bit 31 is the MSB.
R
100 Multiplexes 8 bits of internal status out on C7-0. See
Table 14 for bit map.
Data is read from an Internal Status Register and a series of
output holding registers. The output holding registers range
in size from 8 to 32 bits, and their contents are multiplexed
out a byte at a time on C7-0 by controlling A2-0 and
asserting RD. The addresses listed in Table 11 with the R
indicator provide the address map used for reading data
from the Microprocessor Interface.
Writing to the Microprocessor Interface
The HSP50210 is configured for operation by loading a set
of thirty-two control registers which range in size from 0 to
32 bits. They are loaded by first writing the configuration
data to the Microprocessor interface’s four holding registers
and then writing the target address to the Write Address
Register as shown in Figure 21. The Control Register
Address Map and bit definitions are given in Tables 14
through 45. The configuration data is transferred from the
holding registers to the target control register on the fourth
clock following a write to the address register. As a result,
the holding registers should not be updated any sooner
than 4 CLKs after an address register write (see Figure 21).
W
000 Input Holding Register 0. Transfers to bits 7-0 of the
target control register. Bit 0 is the LSB of the target
register.
Note: The holding registers which map to the unused bits of
a particular control register do not have to be loaded.
W

target control register.

W
011 Input Holding Register 3. Transfers to bits 31-24 of the
target control register. Bit 31 is the MSB of the 32-bit
register.
W
100 Write Address Register. The register is loaded with the
address of the control register targeted for update. The
address map for the control registers is given in
Tables 1C-32C.
Note: Addresses outside the range 0-31 are invalid.

Total = 16
A different read procedure is required depending on
whether the Lock Detector Accumulators, loop filter
accumulators, or the Status Register is to be read. The
read procedures are summarized in Figures 21 through 23.
The accumulators in the AGC Loop Filter, Carrier Loop
Filter and Symbol Tracking Loop can be read via the
Microprocessor Interface. Since these accumulators are
free running, their contents must be loaded into output
holding registers before they can be read. Each
accumulator has its own output holding register. The three
holding registers are updated by loading 29 (decimal) into
the Write Address Register of the Microprocessor Interface.
The output of a particular holding register is then enabled
for reading by loading its address into the Read Address
Register (see Tables 12 and 13). The holding register
addresses for the loop filter accumulators range from 0 to 4
as given in Table 13. The contents of the output holding
registers are multiplexed out a byte at a time on C7-0 by
changing A2-0 and asserting RD (see Read/Write Address
Map in Table 12).
The contents of the three accumulators in the Lock Detector
can also be read via the Microprocessor Interface. However,
the Lock Detector must be stopped before a read can be
performed. In State Machine Control Mode, the Lock
Detector is stopped by loading 24 (decimal) into the Write
Address Register. In Microprocessor Control Mode, the Lock
Detector stops after each Integration Period. To determine
when the Lock Detector has stopped and is ready for
reading, bits 7 and 6 of the Internal Status Register (SR7
and 6) must be monitored (see Table 14 on page 30). The
control sequence for reading a Lock Detector Accumulator is
shown in Figure 23. The control sequence for reading a Lock
Detector Accumulator using the LKINT signal is shown in
Figure 24.
An 8-bit Internal Status Register (SR7-0) can also be
monitored via the Microprocessor interface. The Status
Register indicates loop filter and Lock Detector status as
listed in Table 14 on page 30. The Status Register contents
are output on C7-0 by setting A2-0 to 100(binary) an
asserting RD as shown in Figure 25 on page 31. The
register contents are updated each CLK.

AGC Loop Gain
Exponent (E)
These bits set the loop gain exponent as given by:
AGC Loop Gain Exponent = 2 -(7 + EEE)
where EEE corresponds to the 3-bit binary value programmed here. Thus, a gain range from 2-7 to 2-14
may be achieved for EEE = 000 to 111 Binary. Bit position 30 is the MSB. See Table 3 on page 11.
AGC Loop Gain
Mantissa (M)
The loop gain mantissa is represented as a 4-bit unsigned value with the following format:
AGC Threshold
The AGC gain error is generated by subtracting the threshold value programmed here from the
magnitude value out of the Cartesian-to-Polar Converter. The binary format for the AGC Threshold is the
same as that for the Power Threshold given in Table 15 on page 32.
AGC Loop Gain Mantissa = 0. 2-12-22-32-4; 0.MMMM.
This format provides a mantissa range from 0.0 to 0.9375 for mantissa settings from 0000 to 1111 Binary.

AGC Upper Limit
The upper 8 bits of the AGC Accumulator set the AGC gain. The value programmed here sets upper limit
for AGC gain by specifying a limit for the upper 8 bits of the AGC accumulator. If the accumulated sum
exceeds the upper limit, the accumulator is loaded with the limit. These bits are packed as eemmmmmm
where the e’s correspond to the exponent bits and the m’s correspond to the mantissa bits of Equation 8
(see also Figure 8). Bit position 15 is the MSB. By setting the AGC upper and lower limits to the same value,
the AGC can be set to a fixed gain.

AGC Lower Limit
The value programmed here sets the lower limit for the upper 8 bits of the AGC accumulator in a manner

Error Accumulation
These bits set the number of phase and frequency error measurements that are accumulated before the
Carrier and AFC Loop Filters are run. Since the Loop Filters can only accept new inputs every 6 CLKs
(normally at the symbol rate), the error accumulation is required to ensure that no phase or frequency
error outputs are missed when error terms are generated at a rate greater than 1/6 CLK (see “Carrier
Phase Error Detector” on page 18). The 5-bit value programmed here should be set to one less than the
desired number of error terms to accumulate. For example, setting these bits to 0011 (BINARY) would
cause 4 error terms to be accumulated. A total range from 1 to 32 is provided.
When error accumulation is used, divide the Lead Gain by the number of errors accumulated. Note that
the LAG Gain does not need to be scaled since it increases to compensate for the delay, since it is an
accumulator.

FUNCTION
DESCRIPTION
Writing this address initializes the lag accumulator with the contents of the 4 Microprocessor Interface
Holding Registers at the start of the next Carrier Loop Filter Computation cycle. The contents of the
holding registers should not be changed until after the start of a new compute cycle, since the current
contents of the holding registers are loaded at the compute cycle start. The Microprocessor Interface can
be used to read an Internal Status Register which signals when the lag accumulator load is complete (see
“Microprocessor Interface” on page 27). The contents of the holding registers are loaded into the 32
MSBs of the lag accumulator and the 8 LSBs are zeroed.

Sampling Error Shift
Factor
The sampling error shifter is provided to left shift the sampling error to full scale before input to the Symbol
Tracking Loop Filter. The magnitude of the sampling error varies with the number of symbol decision levels,
and a left shift of 1 to 4 places is provided as required by modulation order. Suggested settings are provided
in the following:
00 = x2 2 levels on each rail (BPSK, QPSK).
01 = x4 4 levels on each rail (8 PSK).
10 = x8 8 levels on each rail.
11 = x16 16 levels on each rail.
Note: Saturation is provided in case of overflow.

Modulation Order
Select
These bits set the threshold levels used by the symbol decision blocks in the Sampling Error detector. The
end-symbol samples on either the I or Q processing path are compared against the selected threshold set
to determine the expected symbol value used in calculating the transition midpoint. The threshold levels
can be set for up to 16ary signals on both the I and Q processing path. The decision thresholds are set as
as follows.
00 = 2ary signal (Use this setting for BPSK, QPSK, and OQPSK signals).
01 = 4ary signal.
10 = 8ary signal.
11 = 16ary signal.
The threshold levels are determined by equally dividing up the signal range by the order of the signal. For
example, a 2ary signal would divide the ~1.0 to -1.0 signal range by two forcing threshold at 0.0. A 4ary
signal would have thresholds at:
-0.5, 0, and +0.5.

FUNCTION
DESCRIPTION
Single/Double Rail
Sampling Error
This bit sets whether sampling error is derived from symbol transitions on just the I rail (single rail) or both
the I and Q rails (dual rail). In single rail operation sampling error from the Q rail is nulled and only the I rail
is used. In dual rail operation the sampling error from both the I an Q rails is summed and then scaled by
one half.
0 = Dual Rail Operation.
1 = Single Rail Operation.
Note: Set to 1 for BPSK operation and 0 for QPSK operation.
Sampling Error
Accumulation
These bits set the number of sampling error measurements to accumulate before running the Symbol Loop
Filter. The loop filter requires 8 CLKs to compute an output. The sampling error detector generates error
terms at the symbol rate. Thus, the error accumulator must be used if the symbol rate exceeds 1/8 CLK to
ensure that no error terms are missed (see “Sampling Error Detector” on page 17). The 5-bit value
programmed here is set to one less than the desired number of error terms to accumulate. For example,
setting these bits to 00011 (BINARY) would cause 4 error terms to be accumulated. A total range from 1 to
32 is provided.

Noise Bandwidth Summary
For a given decimation rate, the double-sided noise
equivalent bandwidth is shown using various combinations
of the CIC filter and the compensation filters in the
HSP50110. Each combination of filters is also shown with
and without the root raised cosine filter in the HSP50210.
The noise bandwidth (Note 6) is measured relative to the
output sample rate.
