AD6623
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD6623 is a 4-channel Transmit Signal Processor (TSP)
that creates high bandwidth data for Transmit Digital-to-Analog
Converters (TxDACs) from baseband data provided by a Digital Signal Processor (DSP). Modern TxDACs have achieved
sufficiently high sampling rates, analog bandwidth, and dynamic
range to create the first Intermediate Frequency (IF) directly.
The AD6623 synthesizes multicarrier and multistandard digital
signals to drive these TxDACs. The RAM-based architecture
allows easy reconfiguration for multimode applications. Modulation, pulse-shaping and anti-imaging filters, static equalization,
and tuning functions are combined in a single, cost-effective
device. Digital IF signal processing provides repeatable manufacturing, higher accuracy, and more flexibility than comparable
high dynamic range analog designs.
The AD6623 has four identical digital TSPs complete with
synchronization circuitry and cascadable wideband channel
summation. AD6623 is pin compatible to AD6622 and can
operate in AD6622-compatible control register mode.
The AD6623 utilizes a 3.3 V I/O power supply and a 2.5 V core
power supply. All I/O pins are 5 V tolerant. All control registers
and coefficient values are programmed through a generic microprocessor interface. Intel and Motorola microprocessor bus
modes are supported. All inputs and outputs are LVCMOS
compatible.
FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
Each TSP has five cascaded signal processing elements: a
programmable interpolating RAM Coefficient Filter (RCF), a
programmable Scale and Power Ramp, a programmable fifth
order Cascaded Integrator Comb (CIC5) interpolating filter,
a flexible second order Resampling Cascaded Integrator Comb
filter (rCIC2), and a Numerically Controlled Oscillator/Tuner
(NCO).
The outputs of the four TSPs are summed and scaled on-chip. In
multicarrier wideband transmitters, a bidirectional bus allows the
Parallel (wideband) IF Input/Output to drive a second DAC. In
this operational mode two AD6623 channels drive one DAC and
the other two AD6623 channels drive a second DAC. Multiple
AD6623s may be combined by driving the INOUT[17:0] of the
succeeding with the OUT[17:0] of the preceding chip. The
REV. A
INOUT[17:0] can alternatively be masked off by software to
allow preceding AD6623’s outputs to be ignored.
Each channel accepts input data from independent serial ports
that may be connected directly to the serial port of Digital Signal Processor (DSP) chips.
The RCF implements any one of the following functions: Interpolating Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter, ␲/4-DQPSK
modulator, 8-PSK modulator, or 3␲/8-8-PSK modulator, GMSK
modulator, and QPSK modulator. Each AD6623 channel can
be dynamically switched between the GMSK modulation mode
and the 3␲/8-8-PSK modulation mode in order to support the
GSM/EDGE standard. The RCF also implements an Allpass
Phase Equalizer (APE) which meets the requirements of IS-95-A/B
standard (CDMA transmission).
The programmable Scale and Power Ramp block allows power
ramping on a time-slot basis as specified for some air-interface
standards (e.g., GSM, EDGE). A fine scaling unit at the programmable FIR filter output allows an easy signal amplitude
level adjustment on time slot basis.
The CIC5 provides integer rate interpolation from 1 to 32 and
coarse anti-image filtering. The rCIC2 provides fractional rate
interpolation from 1 to 4096 in steps of 1/512. The wide range
of interpolation factors in each CIC filter stage and a highly
flexible resampler incorporated into rCIC2 makes the AD6623
useful for creating both narrowband and wideband carriers in a
high-speed sample stream.
The high resolution 32-bit NCO allows flexibility in frequency
planning and supports both digital and analog air interface
standards. The high speed NCO tunes the interpolated complex
signal from the rCIC2 to an IF channel. The result may be real
or complex. Multicarrier phase synchronization pins and phase
offset registers allow intelligent management of the relative
phase of independent RF channels. This capability supports the
requirements for phased array antenna architectures and management of the wideband peak/power ratio to minimize clipping
at the DAC.
The wideband Output Ports can deliver real or complex data.
Complex words are interleaved into real (I) and imaginary (Q)
parts at half the master clock rate.

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although
the AD6623 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on
devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are
recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

CONTROL REGISTER ADDRESS NOTATION
Serial Slave Mode (SCS = 1)
Register address notation and bit assignment referred to throughout
this data sheet are as follows: There are eight, one-digit “External”
register addresses in decimal format. “Internal” address notation
(read from left to right) begins with “0x”, meaning the address
that follows is hexadecimal. The next three characters represent
the address. The first number or character is the MSB of the
address. If an “n” is present, its value can be 1, 2, 3, or 4 and it
depends upon the channel that is being addressed (A, B, C, or D).
The remaining two digits preceding the colon (if present) are the
LSBs of the address. If a colon follows the address, then the
succeeding digits tell the user what bit number(s) is/are involved
in decimal format. For example, 0xn24:7-0.
Any of the AD6623 serial ports may be operated in the serial slave
mode. In this mode, the selected AD6623 channel requires that
an external device such as a DSP to supply the SCLK. This is
done to synchronize the serial port to meet an external timing
requirement. SDIN is captured on negative edge of SCLK when
in slave mode.
Serial Data Framing
The SDIN input pin of each transmit channel of the AD6623
receives data from an external DSP to be digitally filtered, interpolated, and then modulated by the NCO-generated carrier.
Serial data from the DSP to the AD6623 is sent as a series of
blocks or frames. The length of each block is a function of the
desired output format that is supported by the AD6623. Block
length may range from 1 bit (MSK) to 32 bits of I and Q data.
SERIAL DATA PORT
The AD6623 has four independent Serial Ports (A, B, C, and D),
and each accepts data to its own channel (A, B, C, or D) of the
device. Each Serial Port has four pins: SCLK (Serial CLocK),
SDFO (Serial Data Frame Out), SDFI (Serial Data Frame In),
and SDIN (Serial Data INput). SDFI and SDIN are inputs, SDFO
is an output, and SCLK is either input or output depending on
the state of SCS (Serial Clock Slave: 0xn16, Bit 4). Each channel
can be operated either as a Master or Slave channel depending
upon SCS. The Serial Port can be self-framing or accept external
framing from the SFDI pin or from the previous adjacent channel
(0xn16, Bits 7 and 6).
The flow of data to the SDIN input is regulated either by the
AD6623 (in Self-Framing Mode) or by the external DSP (using
AD6623 External Framing Mode). This is accomplished by
generating a pulse, SDFO or SDFI, to indicate that the next
frame or serial data block is ready to be input or sent to the
AD6623. Functions of the two pins, SDFO and SDFI, are fully
described in the framing modes that follow.
Self-Framing Mode
In this mode Bit 7 of register 0xn16 is set low. The serial data
frame output, SDFO, generates a self-framing data request and
is pulsed high for one SCLK cycle at the input sample rate. In
this mode, the SDFI pin is not used, and the SDFO signal would
be programmed to be a serial data frame request (0xn16, Bit 5 = 0).
SDFO is used to provide a sync signal to the host. The input
sample rate is determined by the CLK divided by channel interpolation factor. If the SCLK rate is not an integer multiple of the
input sample rate, then the SDFO will continually adjust the
period by one SCLK cycle to keep the average SDFO rate equal
to the input sample rate. When the channel is in sleep mode, SDFO
is held low. The first SDFO is delayed by the channel reset latency
after the Channel Reset is removed. The channel reset latency
varies dependent on channel configuration.
Serial Master Mode (SCS = 0)
In master mode, SCLK is created by a programmable internal
counter that divides CLK. When the channel is “sleeping,” SCLK
is held low. SCLK becomes active on the first rising edge of CLK
after Channel sleep is removed (D0 through D3 of external
address 4). Once active, the SCLK frequency is determined by
the CLK frequency and the SCLK divider, according to the
equations below.
AD6623 mode:
fSCLK =
fCLK
SCLKdivider + 1
(1)
External Framing Mode
AD6622 mode:
fSCLK =
fCLK
2 × (SCLKdivider + 1)
(2)
The SCLK divider is a 5-bit unsigned value located at Internal
Channel Address 0xn0D (Bits 4–0), where “n” is 1, 2, 3, or 4 for
the chosen channel A, B, C, or D, respectively. The user must
select the SCLK divider to insure that SCLK is fast enough to
accept full input sample words at the input sample rate. See the
design example at the end of this section. The maximum SCLK
frequency is equal to the CLK when operating in AD6623 mode
serial clock master. When operating in AD6622 compatible mode,
the maximum SCLK frequency is one-half the CLK. The minimum
SCLK frequency is 1/32 of the CLK frequency in AD6623
mode or 1/64 of the CLK frequency when in AD6622 mode.
SDFO changes on the positive edge of SCLK when in master mode.
SDIN is captured on positive edge when SCLK is in master mode.
REV. A
In this mode Bit 7 of register 0xn16 is set high. The external
framing can come from either the SDFI pin (0xn16, Bit 6 = 0) or
the previous adjacent channel (0xn16, Bit 6 = 1). In the case of
external framing from a previous channel, it uses the internal frame
end signal for serial data frame synchronizing. When in master
mode, SDFO and SDFI transition on the positive edge of SCLK,
and SDIN is captured on the positive edge of SCLK. When in
slave mode, SDFO and SDFI transition on the negative edge of
SCLK, and SDIN is captured on the negative edge of SCLK.
Serial Port Cascade Configuration
In this case the SDFO signal from the last channel of the first
chip would be programmed to be a serial data frame end
(SFE:0xn16, Bit 5 = 1). This SDFO signal would then be fed as
an input for the second cascaded chip’s SDFI pin input. The
second chip would be programmed to accept external framing
from the SDFI pin (0xn16, Bit 7 = 1, Bit 6 = 0).

Serial Data Format
The format of data applied to the serial port is determined by
the RCF mode selected in Control Register 0xn0C. Below is a

See Table II for usable SCLK divider values and the corresponding SCLK and fSCLK/fSDFO ratio for the example of L = 2560.
In conclusion, SDFO rate is determined by the AD6623 CLK
rate and the interpolation rate of the channel. The SDFO rate is
equal to the channel input rate. The channel interpolation is
equal to RCF interpolation times CIC5 interpolation, times
CIC2 interpolation:

LCRIC 2 

 L = LRCF × LCIC 5 ×
M

CRIC 2 
The SCLK divide ratio is determined by SCLKdivider as shown
in equation 3. The SCLK must be fast enough to input 32 bits
of data prior to the next SDFO. Extra SCLKs are ignored by
the serial port.
Table II. Example of Usable SCLK Divider
Values and fSCLK/fSDFO Ratios for L = 2560
SCLKdivider fSCLK/fSDFO
The serial data input, SDIN, accepts 32-bit words as channel input
data. The 32-bit word is interpreted as two 16-bit two’s complement quadrature words, I followed by Q, MSB first. This results in
linear I and Q data being provided to the RCF. The first bit is
shifted into the serial port starting on the next rising edge of SCLK
after the SDFO pulse. Figure 16 shows a timing diagram for SCLK
master (SCS = 0) and SDFO set for frame request (SFE = 0).

PROGRAMMABLE RAM COEFFICIENT FILTER (RCF)

Each channel has a fully independent RAM Coefficient Filter (RCF).
The RCF accepts data from the Serial Port, processes it, and
passes the resultant I and Q data to the CIC filter. A variety of
processing options may be selected individually or in combination,
including PSK and MSK modulation, FIR filtering, all-pass phase
equalization, and scaling with arbitrary ramping. See Table III.

As an example of the Serial Port operation, consider a CLK
frequency of 62.208 MHz and a channel interpolation of 2560. In
that case, the input sample rate is 24.3 kSPS (62.208 MHz/2560),
which is also the SDFO rate. Substituting, fSCLK ≥ 32 3 fSDFO into
the equation and solving for SCLKdivider, we find the minimum
value for SCLKdivider according to the equation below.
fCLK
(3)
32 × f SDFO
Evaluating this equation for our example, SCLKdivider must be
less than or equal to 79. Since the SCLKdivider channel register is
a 5-bit unsigned number it can only range from 0 to 31. Any value
in that range will be valid for this example, but if it is important
that the SDFO period is constant, then there is another restriction. For regular frames, the ratio fSCLK/fSDFO must be equal to
an integer of 32 or larger. For this example, constant SDFO
periods can only be achieved with an SCLK divider of 31 or less.

OVERVIEW OF THE RCF BLOCKS
throughput and decreased power consumption compared to
Interpolating FIR Filter. In addition, the Interpolating MSK
Modulator can realize filters with nonlinear inter-symbol interference, achieving excellent accuracy for GMSK applications.
The Serial Port passes data to the RCF with the appropriate format
and bit precision for each RCF configuration, see Figure 17. The
data may be modulated vectors or unmodulated bits. I and Q vectors
are sent directly to the Interpolating Fir Filter. Unmodulated
bits may be sent to the PSK Modulator, the Interpolating MSK
Modulator, or the Interpolating QPSK Modulator. The PSK
Modulator produces unfiltered I and Q vectors at the symbol rate
which are then passed through the Interpolating FIR Filter. The
Interpolating MSK Modulator and the Interpolating QPSK
Modulator produce oversampled, pulse-shaped vectors directly
without employing the Interpolating FIR Filter. When possible,
the MSK and QPSK modulators are recommended for increased

After interpolation, an optional Allpass Phase Equalizer (APE)
can be inserted into the signal path. The APE can realize any real,
stable, two-pole, two-zero all-pass filter at the RCF’s interpolated
rate. This is especially useful to precompensate for nonlinear phase
responses of receive filters in terminals, as specified by IS-95.
When active, the APE utilizes shared hardware with the interpolating modulators and filter, which may reduce the allowed RCF
throughput, inter-symbol interference, or both. See Figure 18.

M = mode bit. If M = 0, then the MSB of 3-bit mode select word at 0xn0C:6 is set to 0 (this is also called MODE 0). If M = 1, then the MSB is set to 1 and this is
MODE 1. Mode allows quick format changes via the serial port, for example, 010 = GMSK and 110 = 3pi/8PSK. The value m should be held for the duration of the
time slot since the value of m will only be updated after the RCF Scale Holdoff Counter reaches a value of 1 (see below).
S = serial time slot sync bit. If S = 0, then no sync is generated. If S = 1, a “Serial Time Slot Sync” occurs that loads the RCF Scale Hold-off Counter with a user
programmed value and commences a backwards count of CLK cycles. When the counter reaches one, an automatic sequence occurs as follows: Power Ramp
Down occurs, m (above) is updated, serial input is suspended for a REST or QUIET time and any control register with a 2 superscript is updated. After REST, the
serial input becomes active and the power level is ramped up to the Fine Scale multiplier value or any lesser power level. Ramp enable bit, 0xn16:0, must be set
to logic 1 for the ramp functions to occur. See the RCF Power Ramping and Time Slot Synchronization sections for more detail.
X = don’t care
D = payload data bit
Important notes: The sync pulse, s, should be held at Logic 1 for only one serial frame since every frame with Logic 1 in the s position will cause the RCF Scale Hold-off
Counter to reload its beginning count and begin counting again. The RCF Scale Hold-off Counter counts master CLK cycles. The REST time period is a programmable 5-bit
value that counts interpolated RCF output samples before resuming serial input to the channel. The succeeding actions of any hold-off counter in the AD6623 can be defeated by setting its count value to 0.

The Scale and Ramp block adjusts the final magnitude of the
modulated RCF output. A synchronization pulse from the
SYNC0–3 pins or serial words can be used to command this
block to ramp down, pause, and ramp up to a new scale factor.
The shape of the ramp is stored in RAM, allowing complete
sample by sample control at the RCF interpolated rate. This is
particularly useful for time division multiplexed standards such
as GSM/EDGE. Modulator configurations can be updated
while the ramp is quiet, allowing for GSM and EDGE timeslots
to be multiplexed together without resetting or reconfiguring the
channel. Each of the RCF processing blocks is discussed in
greater detail in the following sections.

INTERPOLATING FIR FILTER
The Interpolating FIR Filter realizes a real, sum-of-products filter
on I and Q inputs using a single interleaved Multiply-Accumulator
(MAC) running at the CLK rate. The input signal is interpolated
by integer factors to produce arbitrary impulse responses up to
256 output samples long.
Each bus in the data path carries bipolar two’s complement values.
For the purpose of discussion, we will arbitrarily consider the radix
point positioned so that the input data ranges from –1 to just
below 1. In Figure 19, the data buses are marked x × y to denote
finite precision limitations. A bus marked x × y has x bits above
the radix and y bits below the radix, which implies a range from
–2x–1 to 2x–1 – 2–y in 2–y steps. The range limits are tabulated in
Table IV for each bus. The hexadecimal values are bit-exact and
each MSB has negative weight. Note that the Product bus range is
limited by result of the multiplication and the two most significant
bits are the same except in one case.
The RCF realizes a FIR filter with optional interpolation. The
FIR filter can produce impulse responses up to 256 output
samples long. The FIR response may be interpolated up to a
factor of 256, although the best filter performance is usually
achieved when the RCF interpolation factor (LRCF) is confined
to eight or below. The 256 × 16 coefficient memory (CMEM)
can be divided among an arbitrary number of filters, one of
which is selected by the Coefficient Offset Pointer (channel
address 0x0B). The polyphase implementation is an efficient
equivalent to an integer up-sampler followed FIR filter running
at the interpolated rate.
The AD6623 RCF realizes a sum-of-products filter using a
polyphase implementation. This mode is equivalent to an interpolator followed by a FIR filter running at the interpolated rate.
In the functional diagram below, the interpolating block increases the rate by the RCF interpolation factor (LRCF) by inserting
LRCF–1 zero valued samples between every input sample. The next
block is a filter with a finite impulse response length (NRCF) and
an impulse response of h[n], where n is an integer from 0 to NRCF–1.
The difference equation for Figure 20 is written below, where
h[n] is the RCF impulse response, b[n] is the interpolated input
sample sequence at point ‘b’ in the diagram above, and c[n] is
the output sample sequence at point ‘c’ in Figure 20.

The actual implementation of this filter uses a polyphase decomposition to skip the multiply-accumulates when b[n–k] is zero.
Compared to the diagram above, this implementation has the benefits
of reducing by a factor of LRCF both the time needed to calculate
an output and the required data memory (DMEM). The price of
these benefits is that the user must place the coefficients into the coefficient
memory (CMEM) indexed by the interpolation phase. The process of
selecting the coefficients and placing them into the CMEM is broken
into three steps shown below.
The FIR accepts two’s complement I and Q samples from the serial
port with a fixed-point resolution of 16 bits each. When the serial port
provides data with less precision, the LSBs are padded with zeroes.
The Data-Mem stores the most recent 16 I and Q pairs for a total
of 32 words. The size of the Data-Mem limits the RCF impulse
response to 16 ⫻ LRCF output samples. When the data words from
the Serial Port have fewer than 16 bits, the LSBs are padded with
zeroes. The Data-Mem can be accessed through the Microport
from 0x20 to 0x5F above the processing channel’s base internal
address, while the channel’s Prog bit is set (external address 4).
In order to avoid start-up transients, the Data-Mem should be
cleared before operation. The Prog bit must then be reset to
enable normal operation.
REV. A
There is a single Multiply-Accumulator (MAC) on which both the
I and Q operations must be interleaved. Two CLK cycles are required
for the MAC to multiply each coefficient by an I and Q pair. The
MAC is also used for four additional CLK cycles if the All-pass
Phase Equalizer is active.
The size of the Data-Mem and Coef-Mem combined with the
speed of the MAC determine the total number of the taps per
phase (TRCF) that may be calculated. TRCF is the number of
RCF input samples that influence each RCF output sample.
The maximum available TRCF is calculated by the equation below.

Where APE = 1 (allpass phase equalizer enabled) or 0 (allpass

Interpolation Rate] in Hz. “floor()” indicates that the value
within the parenthesis should be reduced to the lowest integer,
e.g., floor(9.9999) = 9.
The impulse response length at the output of the RCF is determined
by the product of the number of interfering input samples (TRCF)
and the RCF interpolation factor (LRCF), as shown by equation (8)
below. The values of NRCF and TRCF are programmed into control
registers. LRCF is not a control register, but NRCF and TRCF must
be set so that LRCF is an integer. If the integer interpolation by the
RCF results in an inconvenient sample rate at the output of the
RCF, the desired output rate can usually be achieved by selecting
non-integer interpolation in the resampling CIC2 filter.

PSK MODULATOR
The PSK Modulator is an AD6623 extension feature that is
only available when the control register bit 0x000:7 is high.
The PSK Modulator creates 32-bit complex inputs to the
Interpolating FIR Filter from two or three data bits captured
by the serial port. The FIR Filter operates exactly as if the 32bit word came directly from the serial port. There are three
PSK modulation options to choose from: ␲/4-DQPSK, 8-PSK,
and 3␲/8-8-PSK. Every symbol of any of these modulations
can be represented by one of the 16 phases shown in Figure 21.

All of these phase locations are represented in rectangular coordinates by only four unique magnitudes in the positive and negative
directions. These four values are read from four channel registers
that are programmed according to the following table, which
gives the generic formulas and a specific example. The example
is notable because it is only 0.046 dB below full-scale and the
16-bit quantization is so benign at that magnitude, that the rms
error is better than –122 dBc. It is also worth noting that because
none of the phases are aligned with the axes, magnitudes slightly
beyond 0.16 dB above full-scale are achievable.

The IS-95 Standard includes a phase equalizer after matched
filtering at the baseband transmit side of a base station. This

order to compensate for the distortion introduced to the received
signal by the analog baseband filtering in a handset. The AD6623
includes this functionality in the form of an Infinite Impulse
Response (IIR) all-pass filter in the RCF. This Phase Equalizer
pre-distort filter has the following transfer function:

The format for b1 and b2 is two’s complement fractional binary

and the corresponding coefficient weight from positive full-scale
through zero to negative full-scale is illustrated in Table X.
When the output of the AD6623 is programmed to be a rapid
series of on/off bursts of data, the DAC used to produce an
analog output signal will produce undesirable spectral components
that should (or must) be suppressed. Shaping or “ramping” the
transition from no power to full power, and vice versa, reduces
the amplitude of these spurious signals. To program the ramp
function a user must provide, through the Microport, the
ramp memory (RMEM) coefficient values (up to 64), number
of RMEM coefficients to “construct” the ramp (1 to 64) and
selection of a synchronizing signal source as discussed below.
The programmable power ramp up/down unit allows power
ramping on time-slot basis as specified for some wireless
transmission technologies (e.g. TDMA).
The shape of the ramp is stored in RAM. The RAM coefficients
(RMEM) allow complete sample-by-sample control at the RCF
interpolated rate. This is particularly useful for time division
multiplexed standards such as GSM/EDGE. A time slot or
“burst” is ramped-up and down by multiplying the Fine Scaled
output of the RCF by a series of up to 64 ramp coefficients. If more
ramp resolution is required, up to 64 interpolated coefficients
can be added if the Ramp Interpolation bit, 0xn16:1, is set to
–22–
REV. A
AD6623
Logic 1. This extends the maximum ramp length to 128 coefficients. Although the ramp is limited in length, its time duration
is a function of the output sample rate of the RCF multiplied
by the ramp length. Ramp duration is twice as long with Ramp
Interpolation enabled than when it is not enabled.
The channel’s Ramp Enable bit at control register address
0xn16: bit 0, must be set to Logic 1 or else the ramp function
will be bypassed and the RCF output data is passed unaltered to
the CIC interpolation stages. When in use, the maximum signal
gain is dependent on what value is stored in the last valid
RMEM (ramp memory) location. RMEM words are 14-bits
with a range of [0-1).
When the ramp is triggered, the following sequence occurs (see
Figures 26 and 27): RAMP-DOWN beginning at the last coefficient
of the specified ramp length and proceeding, sample-by-sample,
to the first coefficient. Next, a REST or quiet period (from
0 to 32 RCF output samples duration) occurs. During this
time, the Mode bit (as shown in Figure 17, AD6623 Data Format
and Bit Definition chart) is updated, input sampling is halted and
any control register with a superscript 2 is updated. Modulator
configurations can be updated while the ramp is “quiet” allowing
for GSM and EDGE timeslots to be multiplexed without resetting
or reconfiguring the channel. Lastly, RAMP-UP occurs beginning
at the first coefficient and ending at the last coefficient of the
specified length. The final output level from the ramp stage is
equal to the RCF Fine Scale output level multiplied by the last
ramp coefficient.
Figure 26. View of an unmodulated carrier with linear
ramp-down and ramp-up and rest time between ramps
set to 0.
Ramp Triggering
The ramp sequence is triggered by the Fine Scale Hold-Off
counter. The counter is loaded with a 16-bit user-specified value
(>1 and <216) upon receipt of a sync pulse. The counter then
counts-down (master CLK cycles) to 1, triggers the Ramp sequence
and updates the Fine Scale factor. The counter will then stop at
a count of zero. If the counter is initially loaded with 0, then the
scale hold-off counter is bypassed and will not trigger any
succeeding events. There are three ways to provide the sync pulse
that loads the hold-off counter that ultimately triggers the ramp:
1. Serial Input sync. This method is selected when “Serial Time
Slot Sync Enable”, 0xn16:2, is set to Logic 1 and appropriate
serial word input bits are set as described in Figure 17
(AD6623 Data Format and Bit Definition chart). This allows a
channel’s Fine Scale Hold-Off Counter to be loaded and a power
ramp sequence to be triggered by a data word without resorting
to hardware or software generated sync pulses. This sync signal is
routed to the OR gate following the Time Slot Sync multiplexer
shown in the Sync Control block diagram, Figure 37.
2. Hardware Sync. Sync Pins 0, 1, 2, and 3 provide a means to
load the fine scale hold-off counter using the channel’s “Time
Slot Sync” multiplexer. The multiplexer allows selection of
the desired hard or “pin”-sync signal using two software
controlled select lines at register addresses 0xn0F:17 and
0xn0F:16. Pin-Sync is the most precise method of synchronization. This block shares 2 signals with the Beam Sync block.
They are Software Beam Sync and Sync0. This means that
whenever a Sync0 or soft beam sync is sent to the Beam Sync
block, the same signals are also sent to the Time Slot Sync block.
3. Software Sync. This function allows the user to load Start,
Hop, Beam and Fine Scale holdoff counters via software
commands through the AD6623 Microport. Sync signals
generated in this manner are the least precise means of
synchronization. All software sync bits are located at address
5 of the external register (see Table XXI External Registers).
The Time Slot soft-sync is derived from the shared Beam
Sync soft sync. Setting D6, “Beam”, high will generate a soft
sync signal that loads the Fine Scale hold-off counter as well
as the Beam Sync phase hold-off counter. User must select
which channel(s) will receive the soft sync signal(s) using bits
D0 through D3 at external address 5 and select what type of
sync signal(s) is to be generated (using bits D4, 5 and 6 at
address 5). As an example, to generate a Time Slot soft sync for
channel C, a user would set bits D2 and D6 high. D6 is the actual
sync signal and D2 routes the sync signal only to channel C.
Special Handling Required for SYNC0 Pin-Sync

ramp-down and ramp-up and rest time between ramps

REV. A
Proper routing of Sync0 (a hardware sync pulse) for Time Slot
Sync may require bits in several registers to be set depending
upon the number of active channels. These control bits are
located in the Internal “Common Function” Registers (address
0x001) and the Internal “Channel Function” Registers (address
0xn00, 0xn03, 0xn05, 0xn0F). Address 0x001 contains 8 bits
that will mask the distribution of pin-sync pulses from Sync0 to
all channels and enable which sync multiplexers (start, hop, and
beam) receive Sync0 pulses. Furthermore, the MSB at 0x001 is
a “First Sync Only” flag that, when high, allows only one Sync0
pulse to be routed to the selected sync block(s). Following this,
all 8-bits of register 0x001 are cleared to completely mask off
subsequent pulses.

Sync pulses from Sync1, 2, and 3 pins are not masked in any fashion and directly connect to all Sync multiplexers of all channels. The

section of this data sheet provides an overview of all sync signal
routing for one channel.

separated into three discrete blocks: a fifth order filter (CIC5), a
second order resampling filter (rCIC2), and a scaling block (CIC
Scaling). The CIC5 and rCIC2 blocks each exhibit a gain that
changes with respect to their rate change factors, LrCIC2, MrCIC2,
and LCIC5. The product of these gains must be compensated for
in a shared CIC Scaling block and can be done to within 6 dB.
The remaining compensation can come from the RCF (in the
form of coefficient scaling) or the fine scaling unit.

The first CIC filter stage, the CIC5, is a fifth order interpolating
cascaded integrator comb whose impulse response is completely
defined by its interpolation factor, LCIC5. The value LCIC5–1 can
be independently programmed for each channel at location 0xn09.

The pass band droop of CIC5 should be calculated using this

gain should be calculated from the CIC scaling section above.
As an example, consider an input from the RCF whose bandwidth
is 0.141 of the RCF output rate, centered at baseband. Interpolation
by a factor of five reveals five images, as shown below.

While this control register is 8 bits wide, LCIC5 should be confined
to the range from 1 to 32 to avoid the possibility of internal
overflow for full scale inputs. The output rate of this stage is given
by the equation below.

The frequency response of the CIC5 can be expressed as follows.
The initial 1/LCIC5 factor normalizes for the increased rate,
which is appropriate when the samples are destined for a DAC
with a zero order hold output. The maximum gain is LCIC54 at
baseband, but internal registers peak in response to various
dynamic inputs. As long as LCIC5 is confined to 32 or less, there
is no possibility of overflow at any register.
The scale factor SCIC is a programmable unsigned integer
between 4 and 32. This is a combined scaler for the CIC5 and
rCIC2 stages. The overall gain of the CIC section is given by
the equation below

SCIC serves to frame which bits of the CIC output are transferred
to the NCO stage. This results in controlling the data out of the
CIC stages in 6 dB increments. For the best dynamic range, SCIC
should be set to the smallest value possible (lowest attenuation)
without creating an overflow condition. This can be safely

The CIC5 rejects each of the undesired images while passing the
image at baseband. The images of a pure tone at channel center
(DC) are nulled perfectly, but as the bandwidth increases the
rejection is diminished. The lower band edge of the first image
always has the least rejection. In this example, the CIC5 is
interpolating by a factor of five and the input signal has a bandwidth
of 0.141 of the RCF output sample rate. The plot below shows
–110 dBc rejection of the lower band edge of the first image. All

Table XII lists maximum bandwidth that will be rejected to various
levels for CIC5 interpolation factors from 1 to 32. The example
above corresponds to the listing in the –110 dB column and the
LCIC5 = 5 row. It is worth noting here that the rejection of the
CIC5 improves as the interpolation factor increases.
The rCIC2 filter is a second order re-sampling Cascaded Integrator Comb filter whose impulse response is defined by its
rate-change factors, LrCIC2 and MrCIC2. The rCIC2 filter is implemented using a technique that does not require a faster clock
than the output rate thus simplifying design and saving power
while maintaining jitter-free operation. The rCIC2 stage allows
for noninteger relationships between the input data rate and the
master clock. This allows easier implementation of systems that
are either multimode or require a clock that is not a multiple of
the input data rate. The overall effect is referred to as “ratechange”. A specific rate-change is accomplished by choosing
appropriate interpolation and decimation values for equation
(17) below. For example, if an interpolation ratio of 2.69 is
needed, then set LrCIC2 = 269 and MrCIC2 = 100.
Permissible Values of LrCIC2 and MrCIC2
The two parameters that determine the rate-change of the rCIC2
filter are:
1. The interpolation factor, LrCIC2, ranging from 1 to 4096 (12 bits)
2. The decimation factor, MrCIC2, ranging from 1 to 512 (9 bits)
The range of LrCIC2 is limited by LCIC5 according to Table XIII.

Resampling is implemented by apparently increasing the input
sample rate by the factor L, using zero stuffing for the new data
samples. Following the resampler is a second order cascaded
integrator comb filter. Filter characteristics are determined only
by the fractional rate change (L/M).
As an example, consider an input from the CIC5 whose bandwidth
is 0.0033 of the CIC5 rate, centered at baseband. Interpolation
by a factor of five reveals five images, as shown below.

Programming Guidelines for AD6623 CIC Filters
–110
The values M rCIC2–1, L rCIC2–1 can be independently programmed for each channel at locations 0xn07, 0xn08. While
these control registers are nine bits and 12 bits wide respectively, MrCIC2–1 and LrCIC2–1 should be confined to the ranges
shown by Table XIII according to the interpolation factor of the
CIC5. Exceeding the recommended guidelines may result in
overflow for input sequences at or near full scale. While relatively large ratios of L rCIC2/MrCIC2 allow for the larger overall
interpolations with minimal power consumption, LrCIC2/MrCIC2
should be minimized to achieve the best overall image rejection.

In the real mode, the NCO serves as a quadrature local oscillator
running at fCLK capable of producing any frequency step between
–fCLK/2 and +fCLK/2 with a resolution of fCLK/232 (0.0242 Hz for
fCLK = 104 MHz). The quadrature portion of the output is
discarded. Negative frequencies are distinguished from positive
frequencies solely by spectral inversion. The digital IF is calculated
using the equation:
f IF = f NCO ×
NCO _ frequency
232
(22)
where:
NCO_frequency is the decimal equivalent of the 32-bit binary
value written to 0xn02,
fIF is the desired intermediate frequency (in Hz), and
fNCO is fCLK/2 (in Hz) for complex outputs and fCLK (in Hz)
for real outputs.
Phase Dither
The AD6623 provides a phase dither option for improving the
spurious performance of the NCO. Phase dither is enabled by
writing a “1” to Bit 3 of Channel Register 0xn01. When phase
dither is enabled, spurs due to phase truncation in the NCO are
randomized. The choice of whether phase dither is used in a system
will ultimately be decided by the system goals and the choice of IF
frequency. The 18 most significant bits of the phase accumulator
are used by the angle to Cartesian conversion. If the NCO frequency
has all zeroes below the 18th bit, then phase dither has no effect.
If the fraction below the 18th bit is near a 1/2 or 1/3 of the 18th
bit, then spurs will accumulate separated from the IF by 1/2 or
1/3 of the CLK frequency. The smaller the denominator of this
residual fraction, the larger the spurs due to phase truncation will
be. If the phase truncation spurs are unacceptably high for a given
frequency, then the phase dither can reduce these at the penalty
of a slight elevation in total error energy. If the phase truncation
spurs are small, then phase dither will not be effective in reducing
them further, but a slight elevation in total error energy will occur.
NUMERICALLY CONTROLLED OSCILLATOR/TUNER (NCO)
Each channel has a fully independent tuner. The tuner accepts
data from the CIC filter, tunes it to a digital Intermediate
Frequency (IF), and passes the result to a shared summation block.
The tuner consists of a 32-bit quadrature NCO and a Quadrature
Amplitude Mixer (QAM). The NCO serves as a local oscillator and
the QAM translates the interpolated channel data from baseband
to the NCO frequency. The worst case spurious signal from the
NCO is better than –100 dBc for all output frequencies. The tuner
can produce real or complex outputs as requested by the shared
summation block.
Amplitude Dither
Amplitude dither can also be used to improve spurious performance
of the NCO. Amplitude dither is enabled by writing a “1” to Bit 4
of Channel Register at 0xn01. When enabled, amplitude dither
can reduce spurs due to truncation at the input to the QAM. If

dither also will increase the total error energy by approximately

Phase Offset
The phase offset (Channel Register 0xn04) adds an offset to the
phase accumulator of the NCO. This is a 16-bit register that is
interpreted as a 16-bit unsigned integer. Phase offset ranges
from 0 to nearly 2␲ radians with a resolution of ␲/32768 radians.
This register allows multiple NCOs to be synchronized to produce
sine waves with a known phase relationship.
NCO Frequency Update and Phase Offset Update Hold-Off
Counters
The update of both the NCO frequency and phase offset can be
synchronized with internal Hold-Off counters. Both of these counters
are 16-bit unsigned integers and are clocked at the master CLK
rate. These Hold-Off counters used in conjunction with the frequency or phase offset registers, allow beam forming and frequency
hopping. See the Synchronization section of the data sheet for
additional details. The NCO phase can also be cleared on Sync
(set to 0x0000) by setting Bit 2 of Channel Register 0xn01 high.
NCO Control Scale
The output of the NCO can be scaled in four steps of 6 dB each via

The Summation Block of the AD6623 serves to combine the
outputs of each channel to create a composite multicarrier signal.
The four channels are summed together and the result is then
added with the 18-bit Wideband Input Bus (IN[17:0]). The final
summation is then driven on the 18-bit Wideband Output Bus
(OUT[17:0]) on the rising edge of the high speed clock. If the
OEN input is low then this output bus is three-stated. If the OEN
input is high then this bus will be driven by the summed data.
The OEN is active high to allow the Wideband Output Bus to
be connected to other busses without using extra logic. Most other
busses (like 374 type registers) require a low output enable, which is
opposite of the AD6623 OEN, thus eliminating extra circuitry.
The wideband parallel input IN[17:0] is defined as bidirectional,
to support dual parallel outputs. Each parallel output produces
the sum of two of the four internal TSPs and AD6623 that can
drive two DACs. Channels are added in pairs (A + B), (C + D)
as shown in Figure 34.
The Wideband Output Bus may be interpreted as a two’s complement number or as an offset binary number as defined by Bit 1 of
the Summation Mode Control Register at address 0x000. When
this bit is high, then the Wideband Output is in two’s complement
mode and when it is low it is configured for offset binary output
data. Offset binary data format is used when driving an offset
binary DAC or test equipment, etc., that can accept offset binary.
The two’s complement mode should be used in the following
circumstances:
• When driving a DAC that accepts two’s complement data
• When driving another AD6623 in cascade mode
• When driving test equipment, FIFO memory, etc. that can
accept two’s complement data format
Output Clip Detection
The MSB (Bit 17) of the Wideband Output Bus is typically used
as a guard bit for the purpose of clipping the wideband output
bus when Bit 0 of the Summation Mode Control Register at
address 0x000 is high. If clip detection is enabled then Bit 17 of
the output bus is not used as a data bit. Instead, Bit 16 will
become the MSB and is connected to the MSB of the DAC.
Configuring the DAC in this manner gives the summation block a
gain of 0 dB. When clip detection is not enabled and Bit 17 is used
as a data bit then the summation block will have a gain of –6.02 dB.
There are two data output modes. The first is offset binary. This
mode is used only when driving offset binary DACs. Two’s complement mode may be used in one of two circumstances. The first
is when driving a DAC that accepts two’s complement data.
The second is when driving another AD6623 in cascade mode.
SUMMATION BLOCK
Dual 18-Bit Output Configuration
Figure 34. AD6623 Driving Two DACs
Output Data Format
When clipping is enabled, the two’s complement mode output bus
will clip to 0x2FFFF for output signals more positive than the
output can express and it will clip to 0x3000 for signals more
negative than the output can express. In offset binary mode the
output bus will clip to 0x3FFFF for output signals more positive
than the output can express and it will clip to 0x2000 for signals
more negative than the output can express.
Cascading Multiple AD6623s
The Wideband Input is always interpreted as an 18-bit two’s
complement number and is typically connected to the Wideband
Output Bus of another AD6623 in order to send more than four
carriers to a single DAC. The Output Bus of the preceding
AD6623 should be configured in two’s complement mode and clip
detection disabled. The 18-bit resolution insures that the noise
and spur performance of the wideband data stream does not
become the limiting factor as large numbers of carriers are summed.
There is a two-clock cycle latency from the Wideband Input Bus
to the Wideband Output Bus. This latency may be calibrated out
of the system by use of the Start Hold-Off counter. The preceding
AD6623 in a cascaded chain can be started two CLK cycles before
the following AD6623 is started and the data from each AD6623
will arrive at the DAC on the same clock cycle. In systems where the
individual signals are not correlated, this is usually not necessary.

AD6623
Selection of Real and Complex Output Data Types
The AD6623 is capable of outputting both real and complex data.
When in Real mode the QIN input is tied low signaling that all
inputs on the Wideband Input Bus are real and that all outputs
on the Wideband Output Bus are real. The Wideband Input Bus
will be pulled low and no data will be added to the composite
signal if this port is unused (not connected).
If complex data is desired there are two ways this can be obtained.
The first method is to simply set the QIN input of the AD6623
high and to set the Wideband Input Bus low. This allows the AD6623
to output complex data on the Wideband Output Bus. The I data
samples would be identified when QOUT is low and the Q data
samples would be identified when QOUT is high. The second
method of obtaining complex data is to provide a QIN signal that
toggles on every rising edge of the CLK. This could be obtained
by connecting the QOUT of another AD6623 to QIN as shown
in Figure 35. In a cascaded system the QIN of the first AD6623
in the chain would typically be tied high and the QOUT of the
first AD6623 would be connected to the QIN of the following
part. All AD6623s will synchronize themselves to the QIN input
so that the proper samples are always paired and the Wideband
Output bus represents valid complex data samples. Table XVI
shows different parallel input and output data bus formats as a
function of QIN and QOUT.

The AD6623 can “trigger” all of the aforementioned events except
Ramping without a soft-sync, pin-sync, or data-sync. This is
through the use of the Sleep bit for each channel at External
Address 5. Whenever a channel is brought out of sleep mode
(sleep bit = ↓ low) an automatic pulse updates all active and shadow
registers. This feature allows a channel to be reprogrammed while it
is sleeping and then activated with immediate implementation of
the changes.
Shadow Register are provided for three functions, Frequency
Hop, Fine Scale, and Phase Offset. A shadow register precedes
an active register. It holds the next number to be used by the
active register whenever that function’s hold-off counter causes
the active register to be updated with the new value. Active registers
are also updated with the contents of a shadow register any time
the channel is brought out of the sleep mode.
A shadow register is updated during normal programming of the
registers through the Microport. Active registers for frequency,
fine scale and phase offset words can only receive their update
data from a shadow register. When software reads-back a channel’s
programmed values, it is reading back the shadow registers of
the fine scale and phase offset functions but reads the active
frequency register as shown in Figure 36.

These are 16-bit counters that are preloaded with a programmable
value upon receipt of a synchronizing pulse. The counter then
counts down to zero and stops. The counters are re-triggerable
during countdown. If the counter is re-triggered, it re-loads its
count value and starts again and may preclude the triggering of
the event as intended. When the count reaches one, a trigger signal
is emitted which causes the desired event (Start, Ramp, Hop, Beam,
Scale) to commence. The counters are clocked with the AD6623
CLK that determines the time resolution of the each count. With
a 104 MHz CLK, the resolution is approximately 10 ns and the
delay range is from approximately 20 ns to 0.6 ms. If a Hold-Off
Counter is loaded with 0, it will not respond to synchronizing
pulses and the event will not be triggered by the hold-off counter.

SYNCHRONIZATION
Three types of synchronization can be achieved with the AD6623.
These are Start, Hop, and Beam. Each is described in detail below.
The synchronization is accomplished with the use of a shadow

schematic of the NCO shadow register and NCO Frequency
Hold-Off counter to understand basic operation. Enabling the clock
(AD6623 CLK) for the Hold-Off counter can occur with either
a Soft_Sync (via the Microport), or a Pin Sync. The functions

AD6623
Start
Refers to the start-up of an individual channel, chip, or multiple
chips. If a channel is not used, it should be put in the Sleep Mode to
reduce power dissipation. Following a hard reset (low pulse on
the AD6623 RESET pin), all channels are placed in the Sleep Mode.
Start With No Sync
If no synchronization is needed to start multiple channels or multiple
AD6623s, the following method should be used to initialize the
device.
1. To program a channel, it must first be set to the Program
Mode (bit high) and Sleep Mode (bit high) (Ext Address 4).
The Program Mode allows programming of data memory and
coefficient memory (all other registers are programmable
whether in Program Mode or not). Since no synchronization
is used, all Sync bits are set low (External Address 5). All appropriate control and memory registers (filter) are then loaded. The
Start Update Hold-Off Counter (0xn00) should be set to 0.
2. Set the appropriate program and sleep bits low (Ext Address 4).
This enables the channel. The channel must have Program
and Sleep Mode low to activate a channel.
Start with SoftSync
The AD6623 includes the ability to synchronize channels or chips
under microprocessor control. One action to synchronize is the
start of channels or chips. The Start Update Hold-Off Counter
(0xn00) in conjunction with the Start bit and Sync bit (Ext
Address 5) allow this synchronization. Basically the Start Update
Hold-Off Counter delays the Start of a channel(s) by its value
(number of AD6623 CLKs). The following method is used to synchronize the start of multiple channels via microprocessor control.
1. Set the appropriate channels to sleep mode (a hard reset to the
AD6623 Reset pin brings all four channels up in Sleep Mode).
2. Write the Start Update Hold-Off Counter(s) (0xn00) to the
appropriate value (greater than 1 and less than 216–1). If the
chip(s) is not initialized, all other registers should be loaded
at this step.
3. Write the Start bit and the Syncx(s) bit high (Ext Address 5).
4. This starts the Start Update Hold-Off Counter counting down.
The counter is clocked with the AD6623 CLK signal. When it
reaches a count of one the sleep bit of the appropriate channel(s)
is set low to activate the channel(s).
Start with Pin Sync
Four hardware sync pins are available on the AD6623 to provide the most accurate synchronization, especially between
multiple AD6623s. Synchronization of start with an external
signal is accomplished with the following method.
1. Set the appropriate channels to sleep mode (a hard reset to the
AD6623 Reset pin brings all four channels up in sleep mode).
2. Write the Start Update Hold-Off Counter(s) (0xn00) to the
appropriate value (greater than 1 and less than 216–1). If the
chip(s) is not initialized, all other registers should be loaded
at this step.
3. Set the Start on Pin Sync bit and the appropriate Sync Pin
Enable high (0xn01).
4. When the Sync pin is sampled high by the AD6623 CLK this
enables the count down of the Start Update Hold-Off Counter.
The counter is clocked with the AD6623 CLK signal. When it
reaches a count of one the sleep bit of the appropriate channel(s)
is set low to activate the channel(s).
Hop
A jump from one NCO frequency to a new NCO frequency. This
change in frequency can be synchronized via microprocessor
control or an external Sync signal as described below.
To set the NCO frequency without synchronization the following
method should be used.
Set Frequency No Hop
1. Set the NCO Frequency Hold-Off Counter to 0.
2. Load the appropriate NCO frequency. The new frequency
will be immediately loaded to the NCO.
Hop with SoftSync
The AD6623 includes the ability to synchronize a change in NCO
frequency of multiple channels or chips under microprocessor
control. The NCO Frequency Hold-Off Counter (0xn03) in
conjunction with the Hop bit and the Sync bit (Ext Address 5)
allow this synchronization. Basically the NCO Frequency Hold-Off
counter delays the new frequency from being loaded into the NCO
by its value (number of AD6623 CLKs). The following method
is used to synchronize a hop in frequency of multiple channels
via microprocessor control.
1. Write the NCO Frequency Hold-Off (0xn03) counter to the
appropriate value (> 1 and < 216–1).
2. Write the NCO Frequency register(s) to the new desired
frequency.
3. Write the Hop bit and the Sync(s) bit high (Ext Address 5).
4. This starts the NCO Frequency Hold-Off counter counting
down. The counter is clocked with the AD6623 CLK signal.
When it reaches a count of one the new frequency is loaded
into the NCO.
Hop with Pin Sync
Four hardware Sync pins are available on the AD6623 to provide the most accurate synchronization, especially between
multiple AD6623s. Synchronization of hopping to a new NCO
frequency with an external signal is accomplished with the following method.
1. Write the NCO Frequency Hold-Off Counter(s) (0xn03) to
the appropriate value (greater than 1 and less than 216–1).
2. Write the NCO Frequency register(s) to the new desired
frequency.
3. Set the Hop on Pin Sync bit and the appropriate Sync pin
Enable high (0xn01).
4. When the Sync pin is sampled high by the AD6623 CLK
this enables the count down of the NCO Frequency Hold-Off
Counter. The counter is clocked with the AD6623 CLK signal.
When it reaches a count of one the new frequency is loaded
into the NCO.

REV. A
AD6623
Beam
A change in phase for a particular channel and can be synchronized
with respect to other channels or AD6623s. This change in phase
can be synchronized via microprocessor control or an external
Sync signal.
To set the amplitude without synchronization the following
method should be used.
Set Phase No Beam
1. Set the NCO Phase Offset Update Hold-Off Counter (0xn05)
to 0.
2. Load the appropriate NCO Phase Offset (0xn04). The NCO
Phase Offset will be immediately loaded.
Beam with SoftSync
The AD6623 includes the ability to synchronize a change in NCO
phase of multiple channels or chips under microprocessor control.
The NCO Phase Offset Update Hold-Off Counter in conjunction
with the Beam bit and the Sync bit (Ext Address 5) allow this
synchronization. Basically the NCO Phase Offset Update Hold-Off
Counter delays the new phase from being loaded into the NCO/RCF
by its value (number of AD6623 CLKs). The following method is
used to synchronize a beam in phase of multiple channels via
microprocessor control.
1. Write the NCO Phase Offset Update Hold-Off Counter (0xn05)
to the appropriate value (greater than 1 and less then 216–1).
2. Write the NCO Phase Offset register(s) to the new desired
phase and amplitude.
3. Write the Beam bit and the Sync(s) bit high (Ext Address 5).
4. This starts the NCO Phase Offset Update Hold-Off Counter
counting down. The counter is clocked with the AD6623
CLK signal. When it reaches a count of one the new phase is
loaded into the NCO.
Beam with Pin Sync
Four hardware sync pins are available on the AD6623 to provide
the most accurate synchronization, especially between multiple
AD6623s. Synchronization of beaming to a new NCO Phase
Offset with an external signal is accomplished using the
following method.
1. Write the NCO Phase Offset Hold-Off (0xn05) Counter(s)
to the appropriate value (greater than 1 and less than 216–1).
2. Write the NCO Phase Offset register(s) to the new desired
phase and amplitude.
3. Set the Beam on Pin Sync bit and the appropriate Sync Pin
Enable high (0xn01).
4. When the Sync pin is sampled high by the AD6623 CLK this
enables the count down of the NCO Phase Offset Hold-Off
counter. The counter is clocked with the AD6623 CLK signal.
When it reaches a count of one the new phase is loaded into
the NCO registers.
Time Slot (Ramp)
This enables power ramping and allows input data format
changes during the “quiet” period after ramp-down. It must be
synchronized using the Microport (soft sync), input data or a
hardware sync pin. A Time Slot normally takes the form of:
ramp-down to minimum power, “rest” period and ramp-up to
maximum output power. See the “RCF POWER RAMPING”
section of this data sheet for related information.
The PROG Mode bits located at External Address 4:7-4,
referred to below, must be set HIGH whenever RMEM (ramp
memory), CMEM (coefficient memory) or DMEM (data
memory) are to be programmed. However, when programming is
completed, the PROG bit for the channel(s) must be returned
LOW for proper channel functioning.
Set Output Power, No Ramp
The steps below assume that the user has established a data flow
from input to output of the AD6623.
1. Place the channel(s) in SLEEP Mode (external address 4:3-0,
write bit(s) high).
2. Set bit 0 of Internal Address 0xn16 (the channel’s Ramp
Enable bit) to Logic 0. This defeats the ramp function.
3. Set the fine scaling and coarse scaling control register values
associated with the RCF (0xn0D:7-6 and 0xn0E:15-2), CIC
(0xn06:4-0), NCO (0xn01:1-0) and SUMMATION stages to
the desired levels according to the SCALING section of this
data sheet.
4. Finally, re-establish an output data flow to a DAC by bringing
the appropriate SLEEP bits low and verify desired signal amplitude. Note: a START sync pulse is automatically generated
when the channel is brought out of SLEEP Mode. The START
pulse loads the updated control register data to the appropriate
active counters and shadow registers.
Time Slot (Ramp) with SoftSync
Time Slot or ramping functions for each channel can be engaged
with software synchronizing words received through the Microport. The RCF Fine Scale Hold-Off Counter in conjunction
with the Beam bit* (which is the sync signal) and SyncA, B, C,
and/or D (the channel to be sync’ed) in External Register address
5 allow this synchronization. The RCF Fine Scale Hold-Off
Counter delays the beginning of the Time Slot function as well
as updating the Fine Scale amplitude value (if applicable). The
amount of time delay is set by the value (number of AD6623
CLK periods) written to the register at 0xn0F:15-0. Since the
Time Slot event is of short duration, the user should consider a
digital scope set for Normal or One-Shot triggering to capture
the event and verify functionality. The following steps are used
to synchronize a Time Slot or Ramp event with a software word
received through the Microport; they assume that the user has
established a data flow from input to output of the AD6623.
1. Place the channel(s) in SLEEP Mode (external address 4:3-0,
write bit(s) high) and in the PROG Mode (external address
4:7-4, write the bit(s) high).
2. Write the Fine Scale Hold-Off Counter (0xn0F:15-0) to the
appropriate value (>1 and <216–1).
3. Set the Ramp Enable bit (0xn16:0) high.
4. Load RMEM (ramp memory) with up to 64 coefficients
(0xn40-17F) with the desired values ranging from 0 to 214–1
that represent the “shape” of the ramp transition. Where 0 is
zero gain and 214–1 is unity gain.
5. Load the channel’s ramp length minus 1, up to 63 at 0xn17
6. Load the channel’s ramp rest time minus 1, up to 31, at 0xn19.
7. Re-establish an output data flow to the DAC by bringing the
channel(s) SLEEP bits low and PROG bits LOW.
8. Write the Beam bit* high and desired Sync(A, B, C, and/or D)
bit(s) high at Ext. Address 5. Return Beam bit to Logic 0.
*The “Beam” soft sync signal is also routed to the Time Slot function. This is a
“shared” bit and it provides soft sync pulses to both the Phase Hold-Off and Fine
Scale Hold-Off counters simultaneously.
REV. A

AD6623
9. This starts the Fine Scale Hold-Off Counter counting down.
The counter is clocked with the AD6623 CLK signal. When
it reaches a count of one, the ramp will commence from the
last coefficient until it reaches the first coefficient of the
specified ramp length. If a Rest has been programmed, Rest
will commence for the programmed length and then the ramp
will begin again at the first coefficient and ending at the last
coefficient in the RMEM (ramp memory).
Time Slot with Pin Sync
The procedure for using the hardware synchronizing pins
(SYNC0, 1, 2, and 3) to engage the Time Slot function is very
similar to the Soft Sync. So for this case, only the differences
between the two methods will be noted. It will be helpful to
examine the Hardware and Software Sync Control Block Diagram,
Figure 37, in order to visualize the process.
Hardware sync pins, (SYNC0, 1, 2, and 3), are all capable of
loading the Fine Scale Hold-Off Counters that trigger the ramp
function of any channel. The SYNC pin labels do not signify
attachment to specific channels, but conversely, each SYNC pin
is routed directly or indirectly to every channel. The task that
the user faces is to see that the sync signal is properly routed
and selected. The Time Slot Sync multiplexer seen in Figure 37
is used to select a hardware pin sync signal. SYNC1, 2, and 3
are directly routed to the multiplexer, whereas SYNC0 is routed
through two AND gates before it reaches the multiplexer. The
AND gates duplicate the AD6622 single sync pin function to
allow pin compatibility.
To use SYNC1, 2, or 3, simply set the select “lines” according
to the Channel Register address (0xn0F:16-17) for the desired
sync signal. Attach a sync signal source to the package pin.
When it is time to sync, assert a Logic high (minimum 1 CLK
period +2 ns duration) and return to Logic 0. This loads the
Fine Scale Hold-Off Counter and a countdown commences.
Holding a logic high at the chosen sync input pin longer than
needed will result in additional delay as the Scale Hold-Off
Counter is continually loaded with the same beginning count.
From the Block Diagram, Figure 37, it can be seen (note the
OR gates at the output of each multiplexer) that a software sync
can also be used in conjunction with a hardware sync without
any modification to the hardware setup.
SYNC0 is selected at the Time Slot multiplexer using the same
select “lines” at 0xn0F:16-17 as for SYNC 1, 2, and 3; however,
two additional “masking” registers must be dealt with to get
SYNC0 routed to the Time Slot Sync multiplexer. First,
SYNC0 must be enabled to enter the desired channel(s) using
Common Function Register address 0x001:3-0 (Logic High =
selected). Secondly, once the channel(s) is/are selected, then the
Beam* multiplexer must be selected as the destination for Sync0
by setting 0x001:6 to Logic High.
Once the pin sync signals have been connected, routed and
selected, the procedure for triggering a Time Slot or Ramp
sequence is nearly identical as outlined for a soft sync except for
Step 8. The user should substitute the pin-sync procedure in
place of the soft sync method.
*SYNC0 is routed in parallel to both the Beam and Time Slot multiplexers and it
is a “shared” signal after is has been enabled at 0x001:6.

phase offsets. Nevertheless, in most cases with a large number of
carriers, the worst-case peak is an unlikely event.
JTAG INTERFACE
The AD6623 supports a subset of IEEE Standard 1149.1 specification. For additional details of the standard, please see IEEE Standard
Test Access Port and Boundary-Scan Architecture, IEEE-1149
publication from IEEE.
The AD6623 immediately preceding the DAC can be programmed
to clip rather than wrap around (see the Summation Block
description). For a large number of carriers, a rare but finite chance
of clipping at the AD6623 wideband output will result in superior dynamic range compared to lowering each carrier level until
clipping is impossible. This will also be the case for most DACs.
Through analysis or experimentation, an optimal output level of
individual carriers can be determined for any particular DAC.
The AD6623 has five pins associated with the JTAG interface.
These pins are used to access the on-chip Test Access Port and
are listed in Table XVII.

Single-Carrier Scaling
Once the optimal power level is determined for each carrier, one
must determine the best way to achieve that level. The maximum
SNR can be achieved by maximizing the intermediate power level at
each processing stage. This can be done by assuming the proper level
at the output and working along the following path: Summation,
NCO, CIC, Ramp, RCF, and finally, Fine Scaler Unit.
The Summation Block is intended to combine multiple carriers with
each carrier at least 6 dB below full scale. For this configuration,
the AD6623 driving the DAC should have clip detection enabled.
OUT17 becomes a clip indicator that reports clipping in both
polarities. If the DAC requires offset binary outputs, then the
internal offset binary conversion should be enabled as well. Any
preceding cascaded AD6623s should disable clip detection and
offset binary conversion. The IN17–IN0 of the first AD6623 in
the cascade should be grounded. See the Summation Block
section for details. In this configuration, intermediate OUT17s will
serve as guard bits that allow intermediate sums to exceed full scale.
As long as the final output does not exceed 6 dB over full scale, the
clip detector will perform correctly.
Note that TCK and TDI are internally pulled down which is
opposite of IEEE Standard 1149.1. These pins may be connected
to external pull-up resistors, with the associated additional current
draw through the pull-ups, or left unconnected.
The AD6623 supports four op codes are shown in Table XVIII.

If a single carrier needs to exceed –6 dB full scale, hardwired
scaling can be accomplished according to Table XX. This is most
useful when the AD6623 is processing a Single Wideband Carrier
such as UMTS or CDMA 2000.

SCALING
Proper scaling of the wideband output is critical to maximize the
spurious and noise performance of the AD6623. A relatively small
overflow anywhere in the data path can cause the spurious free
dynamic range to drop precipitously. Scaling down the output
levels also reduces dynamic range relative to an approximately
constant noise floor. A well-balanced scaling plan at each point
in the signal path will be rewarded with optimum performance.
The scaling plan can be separated into two parts: multicarrier
scaling and single-carrier scaling.
Multicarrier Scaling
An arbitrary number of AD6623s can be cascaded to create a
composite digital IF with many carriers. As the number of carriers
increases, the peak to rms ratio of the composite digital IF will
increase as well. It is possible and beneficial to limit the peak to
rms ratio through careful frequency planning and controlled

The NCO/Tuner is equipped with an output scaler that ranges
from –6.02 dB to –24.08 dB below full scale, in +6.02 dB steps.
See the NCO/Tuner section for details. The best SNR will be
achieved by maximizing the input level to the NCO and using
the largest possible NCO attenuation. For example, to achieve
an output level –20 dB below full scale, one should set the CIC
output level to –1.94 dB below full scale and attenuate by –18.06 dB
in the NCO.
The CIC is equipped with an output scaler that ranges from 0 dB
to –186.64 dB below full scale in +6.02 dB steps. This large
attenuation is necessary to compensate for the potentially large
gains associated with CIC interpolation. See the CIC section for
details. For example to achieve an output level of –1.94 dB
below full scale, with a CIC5 interpolation of 27 (+114.51 dB gain)
and a CIC2 interpolation of 3 (+9.54 dB gain), one should set the
CIC_Scale to 20 and the Fine Scale Unit output level to –5.59 dB
below full scale.

(23)
–1.94 – 9.54 – 114.51 + 20 × 6.02 = –5.59
The ramp unit when bypassed will have exactly 0 dB of gain and
can be ignored. When in use, the gain is dependant on what value
is stored in the last valid RMEM location. RMEM words are
14 bits [0–1), so when the value is positive full scale, the gain is
about –0.0005 dB; probably neglectable.
The RCF coefficients should be normalized to positive full scale.
This will yield the greatest dynamic range. The RCF is equipped
with an output scaler that ranges from 0 dB to –18.06 dB below
full scale in +6.02 dB steps. This attenuation can be used to partially compensate for filter gain in the RCF. For example, if the
maximum gain of the RCF coefficients is +11.26 dB, the RCF
coarse scale should be set to 2 (+12.04 dB). This yields an RCF
output level and fine scale input level of –0.78 dB
(24)
11.26 – 12.04 = –0.78
The fine scale unit is left to turn a –0.78 dB level into a –5.59 dB

14-bit [0–2] scale value of 1264h. All subsequent rescalings
during chip operation should be relative to this maximum.

Finally, as described in the RCF section, there may be a worst-case
peak of a phase that is larger than the channel center gain. In the
preceding example, if the worst case to channel center ratio is larger
than 4.59 dB (potentially overflowing the RCF), then the RCF_
Coarse_Scale should be reduced by one and the CIC_Scale should
be increased by one. In the preceding example, if the worst case to
channel center ratio is larger than 5.59 dB (potentially overflowing
the RCF and CIC), then the RCF_Coarse_Scale should be reduced
by one and the NCO_Output_Scale should be increased by one.

MICROPORT INTERFACE
The Microport interface is the communications port between the
AD6623 and the host controller. There are two modes of bus
operation: Intel nonmultiplexed mode (INM), and Motorola
nonmultiplexed mode (MNM) that is set by hard-wiring the
MODE pin to either ground or supply. The mode is selected based
on the use of the Microport control lines (DS or RD, DTACK or
RDY, RW, or WR) and the capabilities of the host processor. See
the timing diagrams for details on the operation of both modes.
The External Memory Map provides data and address registers
to read and write the extensive control registers in the Internal
Memory Map. The control registers access global chip functions
and multiple control functions for each independent channel.
Microport Control
All accesses to the internal registers and memory of the AD6623
are accomplished indirectly through the use of the microprocessor
port external registers shown in Table XXI. Accesses to the External Registers are accomplished through the 3 bit address bus
(A[2:0]) and the 8-bit data bus (D[7:0]) of the AD6623 (Microport).
External Address [3:0] provides access to data read from or written
to the internal memory (up to 32 bits). External Address [0] is the
least significant byte and External Address [3] is the most significant byte. External Address [4] controls the Sleep Mode of each
channel. External Address [5] controls the sync status of each
channel. External Address [7:6] determines the Internal Address
selected and whether this address is incremented after subsequent
reads and/or writes to the internal registers.
EXTERNAL MEMORY MAP
The External Memory Map is used to gain access to the Internal
Memory Map described below. External Address [7:6] sets the
Internal Address to which subsequent reads or writes will be performed. The top two bits of External Address [7] allow the user
to set the address to auto increment after reads, writes, or both.
All internal data words have widths that are less than or equal to
32 bits. Accesses to External Address [0] also triggers access to
the AD6623’s internal memory map. Thus during writes to the
Internal Registers, External Address [0] must be written last to
insure all data is transferred. Reads are the opposite in that External
Address [0] must be the first data register read (after setting the
appropriate internal address) to initiate an internal access.
External Address [5:4] reads and writes are transferred immediately
to Internal Control Registers. External Address [4] is the sleep register.
The sleep bits can be set collectively by the address. The sleep bits
can be cleared by operation of start syncs as shown in Table XXI.

External Address [5] is the Sync register. These bits are write
only. There are three types of Syncs: Start, Hop, and Beam. Each
of these can be sent to any or all of the four channels. For example,
a write of X0010100 would issue a start sync to Channel C only.
A write of X1101111 would issue a Beam Sync and a Hop Sync to
all channels.
The internal address bus is 12 bits wide and the internal data bus
is 32 bits wide. External address 7 is the UAR (Upper Address
Register) and stores the upper four bits of the address space in
UAR[3:0]. UAR[7:6] define the auto-increment feature. If Bit 6
is high, the internal address is incremented after an internal read.
If Bit 7 is high, the internal address is incremented after an internal
write. If both bits are high, the internal address in incremented
after either a write or a read. This feature is designed for sequential
access to internal locations. External address 6 is the LAR (Lower
Address Register) and stores the lower 8 bits of the internal
address. External addresses 3 through 0 store the 32 bits of the
internal data. All internal accesses are two clock cycles long.
Writing to an internal location with a data width of 16 bits is
achieved by first writing the upper four bits of the address to Bits
3 through 0 of the UAR (Bits 7 and 6 of the UAR are written to
determine whether or not the auto increment feature is enabled).
The LAR is then written with the lower eight bits of the internal
address (it doesn’t matter if the LAR is written before the UAR as
long as both are written before the internal access). Since the data
width of the internal address is 16 bits, only Data Register 1 and
Data Register 0 are needed. Data Register 1 must be written first
because the write to Data Register 0 triggers the internal access.
Data Register 0 must always be the last register written to initiate the
internal write.
Reading from the Microport is accomplished in a similar manner.
The internal address is first written. A read from Data Register 0
activates the internal read, thus Register 0 must always be read
first to initiate an internal read. This provides the 8 LSBs of the
internal read through the Microport (D[7:0]). Additional bytes
are then read by changing the external address (A[2:0]) and
performing additional reads. If Data Register 3 (or any other) is
read before Data Register 0, incorrect data will be read. Data
Register 0 must be read first in order to transfer data from the Core
Memory to the External Memory locations. Once the data register is
read, the remaining locations may be examined in any order.
Access to the external registers of Table XXI is accomplished
in one of two modes using the CS, DS(RD), RW(WR), and
DTACK(RDY) inputs. The access modes are Intel Nonmultiplexed mode and Motorola Nonmultiplexed mode. These modes
are controlled by the MODE input (MODE = 0 for INM,
MODE = 1 for MNM).

Intel Nonmultiplexed Mode (INM)
MODE must be tied low to operate the AD6623 Microport in
INM mode. The access type is controlled by the user with the
chip select (CS), read (RD), and write (WR) inputs. The ready
(RDY) signal is produced by the Microport to communicate to
the user the Microport is ready for an access. RDY goes low at
the start of the access and is released when the internal cycle is
complete. See the timing diagrams for both the read and write
modes in the Specifications.
Motorola Nonmultiplexed Mode (MNM)
MODE must be tied high to operate the AD6623 Microport in
MNM mode. The access type is controlled by the user with the
chip select (CS), data strobe (DS), and read/write (RW) inputs.
The data acknowledge (DTACK) signal is produced by the
Microport to acknowledge the completion of an access to the user.
DTACK goes low when an internal access is complete and then
will return high after DS is deasserted. See the timing diagrams
for both the read and write modes in the Specifications.
The DTACK(RDY) pin is configured as an open drain so that
multiple devices may be tied together at the microprocessor/
microcontroller without contention.
The Microport of the AD6623 allows for multiple accesses while
CS is held low (CS can be tied permanently low if the Microport
is not shared with additional devices). The user can access multiple
locations by pulsing the RW(WR) or DS(RD) lines and changing
the contents of the external three bit address bus (A[2:0]).
External Address 7 Upper Address Register (UAR)
Sets the four most significant bits of the internal address, effectively
selecting channels 1, 2, 3, or 4 (D2:D0). The autoincrement of
read and write are also set (D7:D6).
External Address 6 Lower Address Register (LAR)
Sets the internal address 8 LSBs (D7:D0).
External Address 5, SoftSync
This register is write only. Bits in this address control the software
synchronization or “softsync” of the AD6623 channels. If the user
intends to bring up channels with no synchronization requirements
or opts for “Pin Sync” control, then all bits of this register should
be written low. Two types of sync signals are available with the
AD6623. The first is Soft Sync. Soft Sync is software synchronization enabled through the Microport. The second synchronization
method is Pin Sync. Pin Sync is enabled by a signal applied to the
Sync 0-3 Pins. See the Synchronization section for detailed
explanations of the different modes.

AD6623
External Address 4 Sleep
Bits in this register determine how the chip is programmed and
enables the channels. The program bits (D7:D4) must be set high
to allow programming of CMEM and DMEM for each channel.
Sleep bits (D3:D0) are used to activate or sleep channels. These
can be used manually by the user to bring up a channel by simply
writing the required channel high. These bits can also be used in
conjunction with the Start and Sync signals available in External
Address 5 to synchronize the channels. See the Synchronization
section for a detailed explanation of different modes.
External Address 3:0 (Data Bytes)
These registers return or accept the data to be accessed for a
read or write to internal addresses.

AD6623 and AD6622 Compatibility
The AD6623 functions and programmability significantly exceed
those of the AD6622 while maintaining AD6622 pin compatibility and functionality when desired. AD6622 compatibility is selected
when Bit 7 of Internal Control Register 0x000 is low. In this state,
all AD6623 extended control registers are cleared. While in the
AD6622 mode the unused AD6623 pins are three-stated.
Listed below is the mapping of internal AD6623 registers.
AD6622 compatibility is selected by setting 0x000:7 low. In this
state, all AD6623 extended control registers are cleared. Registers
marked as “Reserved” must be written low.

AD6623 EVALUATION PCB AND SOFTWARE
Analog Devices offers a fully populated printed circuit board and
necessary software to evaluate the AD6623 performance. The
software loads the AD6623 program registers, loads RCF (RAM
Coefficient Filter) coefficients and programs the onboard FPGA
and microcontroller. Designers should contact their local Analog
Devices product distributor for ordering information.
The PCB and software have been designed for maximum
flexibility to accommodate many different applications with
minimum need of external devices. Please refer to the AD6623
Evaluation Board Manual for detailed information.
FIR filter design is an extremely important consideration in UMTS
(Universal Mobile Telecommunications System), wideband
CDMA and other sophisticated data transmission schemes. Transmitted signals must comply with channel specifications to assure
non-interference with neighboring signal channels as well as
minimizing inter-symbol interference. The AD6623 FIR filter
software was designed to fulfill these goals. The latest AD6623
evaluation board and FIR filter software are both available from
the Analog Devices web site at http://www.analog.com/
techSupport/DesignTools/evaluationBoards/Ad6623.html
Additional features of the AD6623 PCB kit:
• Onboard 14-bit, 175 MSPS Interpolating TxDAC
(AD9772A) for analog reconstruction of digital outputs.
(Appropriate external anti-alias filter may be required.)
• On board voltage regulation requires only a single 9 V, 1 Amp
external power supply to power all devices with 2.5 V, 3.3 V
and 5 V.
• Digital outputs can be cascaded to a second AD6623 PCB for
up to 8 output channels from a single DAC.
• Onboard “can type” crystal clock or BNC for external singleended clock oscillator. CLK buffers are provided for every
driven device
• AD6623 software utilizes the serial port of a Personal Computer for
board programming—supports Windows™ 95, 98, NT and 2000.
• High quality, multi-layer PCB
• Comprehensive instruction manual complete with schematics,
parts layout diagrams, illustrations.

APPLICATIONS
Determining the Number of TSPs to Use
The AD6623 provides considerable flexibility for the control of
the synchronization, relative phasing, and scaling of the individual
channel inputs. Implementation of a multichannel transmitter
invariably begins with an analysis of the output spectrum that
must be generated.
There are three limitations of a single TSP that can be overcome
by deinterleaving an input stream into multiple TSPs: Serial Port
bandwidth, the time restriction to the RCF impulse response
length (NRCF), and the DMEM restriction to NRCF.
Using the AD6623 to Process UMTS Carriers
The AD6623 may be used to process two UMTS carriers, each
with an output oversampling rate of 24⫻ (i.e., 92.16 MSPS).
The AD6623 configuration used to accomplish this consists of
using two processing channels in parallel to process each UMTS
carrier. Please refer to the Using the AD6623 to Process Two
UMTS Carriers with 24⫻ Oversampling, section.
If the input sample rate is faster than the Serial Port can accept
data, the data can be de-interleaved into multiple Serial Ports.
Recalling from the Serial Port description, the SCLK frequency
(fSCLK) is determined by the equation below. To minimize the
number of processing channels, SCLKdivider should be set as low
as possible to get the highest fSCLK- that the serial data source
can accept.
fSCLK =
Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) Selection
The selection of a high performance DAC depends on a number
of factors. The dynamic range of the DAC must be considered
from a noise and spectral purity perspective. The 14-bit AD9772A
is the best choice for overall bandwidth, noise, and spectral purity.
In order to minimize the complexity of the analog interpolation
filter which must follow the DAC, the sample rate of the master
clock is generally set to at least three times the maximum analog
frequency of interest.
fCLK
SCLKdivider + 1
(30)
A minimum of 32 SCLK cycles are required to accept an input
sample, so the minimum number of TSPs (NTSP) due to limited
Serial Port bandwidth is a function of the input sample rate (fIN),
as shown in the equation below.
 32 × fIN 
NTSP ≥ ceil 

 fSCLK 
(31)
In the case where a 15 MHz band of interest is to be up-converted
to RF, the lowest frequency might be 5 MHz and the upper band
edge at 20 MHz (offset from dc to afford the best image reject
filter after the first digital IF). The minimum sample rate would
be set to 65 MSPS.
For example for a UMTS system, we will assume fCLK = 76.8 MHz,
and the serial data source can drive data at 38.4 Mbps
(SCLKdivider = 0). To achieve fIN = 3.84 MHz, the minimum
NTSP is 3 with a Serial Clock fSCLK = 52 MHz which is a limitation
of the Serial Port (This is TSP channels, not TSP ICs).
Consideration must also be given to data rate of the incoming
data stream, interpolation factors, and the clock rate of the DSP.
Multiple TSPs are also required if the RCF does not have enough
time or DMEM space to calculate the required RCF filter. Recalling
the maximum NTAPS– equation from the RCF description, are
three restrictions to the RCF impulse response length, NRCF.
Multiple TSP Operation
Each of the four Transmit Signal Processors (TSPs) of the AD6623
can adequately reject the interpolation images of narrow bandwidth carriers such as AMPS, IS-136, GSM, EDGE, and PHS.
Wider bandwidth carriers such as IS-95 and IMT2000 require a
coordinated effort of multiple processing channels.
This section demonstrates how to coordinate multiple TSPs to
create wider bandwidth channels without sacrificing image
rejection. As an example, a UMTS carrier is modulated using
four TSP channels (an entire AD6623). The same principles
can be applied to different designs using more or fewer TSPs.
This section does not explore techniques for using multiple TSPs
to solve problems other than Serial Port or RCF throughput.
Designing filter coefficients and control settings for de-interleaved
TSPs is no harder than designing a filter for a single TSP. For
example, if four TSPs are to be used, simply divide the input
data rate by four and generate the filter as normal. For any
design, a better filter can always be realized by incrementing the
number of TSPs to be used. When it is time to program the
TSPs, only two small differences must be programmed. First,
each channel is configured with exactly the same filter, scalers,
modes and NCO frequency. Since each channel receives data at
one-quarter the data rate and in a staggered fashion, the Start
Hold-Off Counters must also be staggered (see “Programming
Multiple TSPs” section). Second, the phase offset of each NCO
must be set to match the demultiplexed ratio (in this example).
Thus the phase offset should be set to 90 degrees (16384 which
is one-quarter of a 16-bit register).

(33)
De-interleaving the input data into multiple TSPs extends the
time restriction and may possibly extend the DMEM restriction,
but will not extend the CMEM restriction. De-interleaving the
input stream to multiple TSPs divides the input sample rate to
each TSP by the number of TSPs used (NTSP). To keep the
output rate fixed, L must be increased by a factor of NCH, which
extends the time restriction. This increase in L may be achieved by
increasing any one or more of LRCF, LCIC5, or LCIC2 within their
normal limits. Achieving a larger L by increasing LRCF instead
of LCIC5 or LCIC2 will relieves the DMEM restriction as well.
In a UMTS example, NTSP = 4, fCLK = 76.8 MHz, and
fIN = 3.84 MHz, resulting in L = 80. Factoring L into LRCF = 10,
LCIC = 8, and LCIC2 = 1 results in a maximum NRCF = 40 due to
the time restriction. Figure 42 shows an example RCF impulse
response which has a frequency response as shown in Figure 43

frequency scale. This figure demonstrates a good approximation
to a root-raised-cosine with a roll-off factor of 0.22, a passband
ripple of 0.1 dB, and a stopband ripple better than –70 dB until
the lobe of the first image which peaks at –60 dB about 7.68 MHz
from the carrier center. This lobe could be reduced by shifting
more of the interpolation towards the RCF, but that would
sacrifice near in performance. As shown, the first image can be
easily rejected by an analog filter further up the signal path.
Driving Multiple TSP Serial Ports
When configured properly, the AD6623 will drive each SDFO
out of phase. Each new piece of data should be driven only into
the TSP that pulses its SDFO pin at that time.
In the UMTS example in Figure 41, L = 80 and NTSP = 4, so each
serial port need only accept every fourth input sample. Each
serial port is shifting at peak capacity, so sample 1, 2, and 3 begin
shifting into Serial Ports B, C, and D before sample 0 is completed into Serial Port A.
SDFOA
Scaling must be considered as normal with an interpolation
factor of L, to guarantee no overflow in the RCF, CIC, or NCOs.
The output level at the summation port should be calculated
using an interpolation factor of L/NTSP.

In order to separate the input timing to each TSP, the Hold-Off
Counters must be used to start each TSP successively in response
to a common Start SYNC. The Start SYNC may originate from the
SYNC pin or the Microport. Each subsequent TSP must have a
Hold-Off Counter value L/NTSP larger than its predecessor’s. If the
TSPs are located on cascaded AD6623s, the Hold-Off Counters of
the upstream device should be incremented by an additional one.

Therefore, this application note assumes an input sample rate of
3.84 MSPS and an output data rate of 24× (i.e., 92.16 MSPS),
which in conjunction with the 1× input rate (assumes two channels
used per carrier at 1.92 MSPS) results in a total decimation value
of 24. Since two AD6623 channels will be used for each carrier,
each channel will operate with a total interpolation of forty-eight,
resulting in a total of 24 taps for the FIR filter. All channels must
be configured with the same FIR filter coefficients, decimation
and interpolation values, and scaling values.

In order to properly process a UMTS channel across two channels
the channels need to be synchronized. The channel starts will be
delayed by precise input clock periods, and the NCO’s will be
independently phased to account for starting channels out of

USING THE AD6623 TO PROCESS TWO UMTS CARRIERS
WITH 24ⴛ OUTPUT RATE
Overview
The AD6623 may be used to process two UMTS carriers, each
with an output rate of 24× (i.e., 92.16 MSPS). The AD6623
configuration used to accomplish this consists of using two processing channels in parallel to process each UMTS carrier. The
ideology behind the parallel processing approach is that each
channel operates on half of the input samples, processing every
other sample. The reason is that the serial input data rate is limited
to 3.25 MSPS for 16-bit I and 16-bit Q data (104 MSPS/32).
The first channel of each pair begins processing the first input
sample immediately. The second channel begins processing after a
specific delay so that the two channels essentially will be operating
180 degrees out of phase with each other. Since each channel
processes only half the input samples and thus receives input data
at half the original rate, each channel has twice the original amount
of time available for processing. This in turn makes available
twice the original number of taps, resulting in much improved
digital filtering capability. To maximize the number of available
FIR filter taps, the highest possible input rate should be used.
AD6623 Register Configuration
To process two UMTS carriers with 24× output rate, the AD6623
must be properly configured. The following sections describe
the required register settings for this configuration. Interpolation,
decimation, and scaling values specified for the following registers were used to obtain the reference filter response shown in
the Performance section of this data sheet. Other registers may
be set as needed for any individual application.
For registers with bit fields, the following symbols are used:
0, 1: bit must be set to zero or one as indicated.
‘u’: bit is dependent on the user’s application, but must be
the same for both channels of a processing pair.
‘x’: bit can be set at user’s discretion, regardless of the channel used.
Coefficient Memory (0x900–0x9FF, Bits 15:0)
Each pair of processing channels must be assigned the same
FIR filter coefficients. Twenty-four taps must be used, typically
loaded into addresses 0x900-0x9FF.

Start Holdoff Counter (0xn00, Bits 15:0)
The secondary channel of each processing pair needs to be
configured such that it begins processing 180 degrees out of phase
with the primary channel. The Start Holdoff Counter (SHC) of
the secondary channel is set to the value of the primary channel
plus LTOT/2, where LTOT is the overall channel interpolation.
SCC2ndChannel = SCC1stChannel +

set such that, when it begins processing, its phase is equal to
REV. A
Each pair of processing channels must be assigned the same
number of taps per phase which in this case is four.
Serial Data Frame Input Select (0xn16, Bits 7:6)
The secondary channel of each processing pair needs to be
configured such that it begins processing data after the primary
channel’s Frame end. This is done by setting the Serial Data
Frame Input Select bits high (Bits 7:6 = 11).
Serial Data Frame Output Select (0xn16, Bits 5)
The primary channel of each processing pair needs to be
configured such that it is configured for Serial Data Frame
Request (Bit 5 = 0).
Serial Clock Slave (0xn16, Bits 4)
Each pair of processing channels must be configured in Master
mode (Bit 4 = 0).
Performance
The filter performance of the AD6623’s dual-channel processing
approach is shown in Figure 45. This filter uses 24 taps, with
RCF interpolation of 6, CIC5 interpolation of 8, and rCIC2
interpolation and decimation of 1 and 1, respectively. The near
rejection at 5 MHz is 65 dBc, and rejection at 10 MHz is 80 dBc,
with a passband ripple of 0.25 dB. The register settings implementing this filter are outlined in the AD6623 Register Configuration
section of this technical note.

THERMAL MANAGEMENT

COMPOSITE
RESPONSE
The power dissipation of the AD6623 is primarily determined by
three factors: the clock rate, the number of channels active, and
the distribution of interpolation rates. The faster the clock rate
the more power dissipated by the CMOS structures of the AD6623
and the more channels active the higher the overall power of the
chip. Low interpolation rates in the CIC stages (CIC5, CIC2)
results in higher power dissipation. All these factors should be
analyzed as each application has different thermal requirements.

The AD6623 128-Lead MQFP is specially designed to provide
excellent thermal performance. To achieve the best performance
the power and ground leads should be connected directly to
planes on the PC board. This provides the best thermal transfer
from the AD6623 to the PC board.
