PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD6624 is a four-channel (quad) digital receive signal
processor (RSP) with four cascaded signal-processing elements:
a frequency translator, two fixed-coefficient decimating filters,
and a programmable-coefficient decimating filter.
The AD6624 is part of Analog Devices’ SoftCell® multicarrier
transceiver chipset designed for compatibility with Analog
Devices’ family of high sample rate IF sampling ADCs (AD6640/
AD6644 12- and 14-bit). The SoftCell receiver comprises a
digital receiver capable of digitizing an entire spectrum of
carriers and digitally selecting the carrier of interest for tuning
and channel selection. This architecture eliminates redundant
radios in wireless base station applications.
High dynamic range decimation filters offer a wide range of
decimation rates. The RAM-based architecture allows easy
reconfiguration for multimode applications.
The decimating filters remove unwanted signals and noise from
the channel of interest. When the channel of interest occupies less
bandwidth than the input signal, this rejection of out-of-band
noise is called “processing gain.” By using large decimation
factors, this “processing gain” can improve the SNR of the
ADC by 30 dB or more. In addition, the programmable RAM
coefficient filter allows antialiasing, matched filtering, and
static equalization functions to be combined in a single, costeffective filter.
The AD6624 is compatible with standard ADC converters such
as the AD664x, AD9042, AD943x, and the AD922x families of
data converters. The AD6624 is also compatible with the AD6600
Diversity ADC, providing a cost and size reduction path.

AD6624
The next stage is a fifth order Cascaded Integrator Comb (CIC5)
filter whose response is defined by the decimation rate. The
purpose of these filters is to reduce the data rate to the final
filter stage so it can calculate more taps per output.
ARCHITECTURE
The AD6624 has four signal processing stages: a Frequency
Translator, second order Resampling Cascaded Integrator
Comb FIR filters (rCIC2), a fifth order Cascaded Integrator
Comb FIR filter (CIC5), and a RAM Coefficient FIR filter
(RCF). Multiple modes are supported for clocking data into and
out of the chip, and provide flexibility for interfacing to a wide
variety of digitizers. Programming and control is accomplished
via serial and microprocessor interfaces.
The final stage is a sum-of-products FIR filter with programmable 20-bit coefficients, and decimation rates programmable
from 1 to 256 (1–32 in practice). The RAM Coefficient FIR
filter (RCF in the Functional Block Diagram) can handle a
maximum of 160 taps.
Frequency translation is accomplished with a 32-bit complex
Numerically Controlled Oscillator (NCO). Real data entering
this stage is separated into in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q)
components. This stage translates the input signal from a digital
intermediate frequency (IF) to digital baseband. Phase and
amplitude dither may be enabled on-chip to improve spurious
performance of the NCO. A phase-offset word is available to
create a known phase relationship between multiple AD6624s or
between channels.
The overall filter response for the AD6624 is the composite of
all decimating and interpolating stages. Each successive filter
stage is capable of narrower transition bandwidths but requires
a greater number of CLK cycles to calculate the output. More
decimation in the first filter stage will minimize overall power
consumption. Data from the chip is interfaced to the DSP via a
high-speed synchronous serial port.
Figure 18a illustrates the basic function of the AD6624: to
select and filter a single channel from a wide input spectrum.
The frequency translator “tunes” the desired carrier to baseband.
Figure 18b shows the combined filter response of the rCIC2,
CIC5, and RCF.
Following frequency translation is a resampling, fixed-coefficient,
high speed, second order, Resampling Cascade Integrator
Comb (rCIC2) filter that reduces the sample rate based on the
ratio between the decimation and interpolation registers.

Each input port consists of a 14-bit mantissa and 3-bit exponent. If
interfacing to a standard ADC is required, the exponent bits can
be grounded. If connected to a floating point ADC such as the
AD6600, the exponent bits from that product can be connected
to the input exponent bits of the AD6624. The mantissa data
format is twos complement and the exponent is unsigned binary.

Figure 19. Filter Response
The filter in Figure 19 is based on a 65 MSPS input data rate
and an output rate of 541.6666 kSPS (two samples per symbol
for EDGE). Total decimation rate is 120 distributed between
the rCIC2, CIC5, and RCF.
The data from each high speed input port is latched on the
rising edge of CLK. This clock signal is used to sample the
input port and clock the synchronous signal processing stages
that follow in the selected channels.

The filter in Figure 20 is designed to meet the IS-136 specifications. For this configuration, the clock is set to 61.44 MSPS
with a total decimation rate of 320 providing an output data
rate of 192 kSPS or four samples per symbol.
INPUT DATA PORTS
The AD6624 features dual, high speed ADC input ports, Input
Port A and Input Port B. The dual input ports allow for the
most flexibility with a single tuner chip. These can be diversity
inputs or truly independent inputs such as separate antenna
segments. Either ADC port can be routed to one of four tuner
channels. For added flexibility, each input port can be used to
support multiplexed inputs such as those found on the AD6600
or other ADCs with muxed outputs. This added flexibility
can allow for up to four different analog sources to be processed simultaneously by the four internal channels.
In addition, the front end of the AD6624 contains circuitry that
enables high speed signal level detection and control. This is
accomplished with a unique high speed level detection circuit
Figure 22. CLK Timing Requirements
Input Enable Control
There is an IENA and an IENB pin for the Input Port A and
Input Port B, respectively. There are four modes of operation
used for each IEN pin. Using these modes, it is possible to
emulate operation of the other RSPs such as the AD6620, which
offer dual channel modes normally associated with diversity
operations. These modes are: IEN transition to low, IEN transition to high, IEN high, and blank on IEN low.
In the IEN high mode, the inputs and normal operations occur
when the Input Enable is high. In the IEN transition to low
mode, normal operations occur on the first rising edge of the
clock after the IEN transitions to low. Likewise, in the IEN
transition to high mode, operations occur on the rising edge of
the clock after the IEN transitions to high. See the Numerically
Controlled Oscillator section for more details on configuring the
Input Enable Modes. In blank on IEN low mode, the input data
is interpreted as zero when IEN is low.

REV. B
AD6624
A typical application for this feature would be to take the data
from an AD6600 Diversity ADC to one of the inputs of the
AD6624. The A/B_OUT from that chip would be tied to the
IEN. One channel within the AD6624 would be then set so that
IEN transition to low is enabled. Another channel would be
configured so that IEN transition to high is enabled. One of the
serial outputs would be configured as the Serial Bus Master and
the other as a serial bus slave and the output bus configured as
shown in Figure 25. This would allow two of the AD6624 channels to be configured to emulate that AD6620 in diversity mode.
Of course the NCO frequencies and other channel characteristics would need to be set similarly, but this feature allows the
AD6624 to handle interleaved data streams such as found on
the AD6600.
The difference between the IEN transition to high and the IEN
high is found when a system clock is provided that is higher than
the data rate of the converter. It is often advantageous to supply
a clock that runs faster than the data rate so that additional filter
taps can be computed. This naturally provides better filtering.
In order to ensure that other parts of the circuit properly recognize the faster clock in the simplest manner, the IEN transition
to low or high should be used. In this mode, only the first clock
edge that meets the setup and hold times will be used to latch
and process the input data. All other clock pulses are ignored by
front end processing. However, each clock cycle will still produce a new filter computation pair.
Gain Switching
The AD6624 includes circuitry that is useful in applications
where either large dynamic ranges exist or where gain ranging
converters are employed. This circuitry allows digital thresholds to be set such that an upper and a lower threshold can
be programmed.
One such use of this may be to detect when an ADC converter
is about to reach full-scale with a particular input condition.
The results would be to provide a flag that could be used to
quickly insert an attenuator that would prevent ADC overdrive.
If 18 dB (or any arbitrary value) of attenuation (or gain) is
switched in, the signal dynamic range of the system will have
been increased by 18 dB. The process begins when the input
signal reaches the upper programmed threshold. In a typical
application, this may be set 1 dB (user-definable) below fullscale. When this input condition is met, the appropriate LI
(LIA-A, LIA-B, LIB-A, or LIB-B) signal associated with either
the A or B input port is made active. This can be used to switch
the gain or attenuation of the external circuit. The LI signal stays
active until the input condition falls below the lower programmed
threshold. In order to provide hysteresis, a dwell-time register
(see Memory Map for Input Control Registers) is available to
hold off switching of the control line for a predetermined number of clocks. Once the input condition is below the lower
threshold, the programmable counter begins counting highspeed clocks. As long as the input signal stays below the lower
threshold for the number of high speed clock cycles programmed,
the attenuator will be removed on the terminal count. However,
if the input condition goes above the lower threshold with the
counter running, it will be reset and must fall below the lower
threshold again to initiate the process. This will prevent unnecessary switching between states.
REV. B
This is illustrated in Figure 23. When the input signal goes
above the upper threshold, the appropriate LI signal becomes
active. Once the signal falls below the lower threshold, the
counter begins counting. If the input condition goes above the
lower threshold, the counter is reset and starts again as shown
in Figure 23. Once the counter has terminated to zero, the LI
signal goes inactive.

Figure 23. Threshold Settings for LI
The LI signal can be used for a variety of functions. It can be
used to set the controls of an attenuator DVGA or integrated and
used with an analog VGA. To simplify the use of this feature,
the AD6624 includes two separate gain settings, one when this
line is inactive (rCIC2_QUIET[4:0]) and the other when active
(rCIC2_LOUD[4:0]). This allows the digital gain to be adjusted
to the external changes. In conjunction with the gain setting, a
variable hold-off is included to compensate for the pipeline delay of
the ADC and the switching time of the gain control element.
Together, these two features provide seamless gain switching.
Another use of these pins is to facilitate a gain range hold-off within
a gain-ranging ADC. For converters that use gain ranging to
increase total signal dynamic range, it may be desirable to prohibit internal gain ranging from occurring in some instances.
For such converters, the LI (A or B) signals can be used to hold
this off. For this application, the upper threshold would be set
based on similar criteria. However, the lower threshold would
be set to a level consistent with the gain ranges of the specific
converter. The hold-off delay can then be set appropriately for
any number of factors such as fading profile, signal peak to
average ratio, or any other time-based characteristics that might
cause unnecessary gain changes.
Since the AD6624 has a total of four gain control circuits that
can be used if both A and B Input Ports have interleaved data,
each respective LI pin is independent and can be set to different
set points. It should be noted that the gain control circuits are
wideband and are implemented prior to any filtering elements to
minimize loop delay. Any of the four channels can be set to monitor any of the possible four input channels (two in normal mode
and four when the inputs are time-multiplexed).
The chip also provides appropriate scaling of the internal data
based on the attenuation associated with the LI signal. In this
manner, data to the DSP maintains a correct scale value throughout the process, making it totally independent. Since finite
delays are often associated with external gain switching components, the AD6624 includes a variable pipeline delay that can be
used to compensate for external pipeline delays or gross settling
times associated with gain/attenuator devices. This delay may be
set up to seven high speed clocks. These features ensure smooth
switching between gain settings.

AD6624
Input Data Scaling
The AD6624 has two data input ports: an A Input Port and a
B Input Port. Each accepts 14-bit mantissa (twos complement
integer) IN[13:0], a 3-bit exponent (unsigned integer) EXP[2:0]
and the Input Enable (IEN). Both inputs are clocked by CLK.
These pins allow direct interfacing to both standard fixed-point
ADCs such as the AD9225 and AD6640, as well as to gainranging ADCs such as the AD6600. For normal operation with
ADCs having fewer than 14 bits, the active bits should be MSBjustified and the unused LSBs should be tied low.
The 3-bit exponent, EXP[2:0], is interpreted as an unsigned
integer. The exponent will subsequently be modified by either of
the 5-bit scale values stored in register 0x92, Bits 4–0 or Bits 9–5.
These 5-bit registers contain the sum of the rCIC2 scale value plus
the external attenuator scale settings and the Exponent Offset
(ExpOff). If no external attenuator is used, these values can only
be set to the value of the rCIC2 scale. If an external attenuator is
used, Bit Position 4–0 (Register 0x92 rCIC2_LOUD[4:0]) contains the scale value for the largest input range. Bit Positions
9–5 (Register 0x92 rCIC2_QUIET[4:0]) are used for the nonattenuated input signal range.
The RSSI output of the AD6600 numerically grows with
increasing signal strength of the analog input (RSSI = 5 for a
large signal, RSSI = 0 for a small signal). When the Exponent
Invert Bit (ExpInv) is set to zero, the AD6624 will consider the
smallest signal at the IN[13:0] to be the largest and as the EXP
word increases, it shifts the data down internally (EXP = 5
will shift a 14-bit word right by five internal bits before passing
the data to the rCIC2). In this example, where ExpInv = 0, the
AD6624 regards the largest signal possible on the AD6600 as
the smallest signal. Thus, the Exponent Invert Bit can be used
to make the AD6624 exponent agree with the AD6600 RSSI.
By setting ExpInv = 1, it forces the AD6624 to shift the data
up (left) for growing EXP instead of down. The exponent invert
bit should always be set high for use with the AD6600.
The Exponent Offset is used to shift the data right. For example,
Table I shows that with no rCIC2 scaling, 12 dB of range is lost
when the ADC input is at the largest level. This is undesirable
because it lowers the Dynamic Range and SNR of the system by
reducing the signal of interest relative to the quantization noise floor.

and No ExpOff
Scaling with Fixed-Point ADCs
For fixed-point ADCs, the AD6624 exponent inputs EXP[2:0]
are typically not used and should be tied low. The ADC outputs
are tied directly to the AD6624 Inputs, MSB-justified. The
ExpOff bits in 0x92 should be programmed to 0. Likewise, the
Exponent Invert bit should be 0.

(ExpInv = 1, ExpOff = 0)
To avoid this automatic attenuation of the full-scale ADC
signal, the ExpOff is used to move the largest signal (RSSI = 5)
up to the point where there is no downshift. In other words,
once the Exponent Invert bit has been set, the Exponent Offset
should be adjusted so that mod(7–5 + ExpOff,8) = 0. This is
the case when Exponent Offset is set to 6 since mod(8,8) = 0.

An example of the exponent control feature combines the AD6600
and the AD6624. The AD6600 is an 11-bit ADC with three bits
of gain ranging. In effect, the 11-bit ADC provides the mantissa,
and the three bits of relative signal strength indicator (RSSI) for
the exponent. Only five of the eight available steps are used by
the AD6600. See the AD6600 data sheet for additional details.
For gain-ranging ADCs such as the AD6600,
scaled _ input = IN × 2
– mod( 7 – Exp +rCIC 2 ,8 )
, ExpInv = 1, ExpWeight = 0 (1)
where: IN is the value of IN[13:0], Exp is the value of EXP[2:0],
and rCIC2 is the rCIC scale register value (0x92 Bits 9–5 and 4–0).

(ExpInv = 1, ExpOff = 6)
This flexibility in handling the exponent allows the AD6624
to interface with gain-ranging ADCs other than the AD6600.
The Exponent Offset can be adjusted to allow up to seven
RSSI(EXP) ranges to be used as opposed to the AD6600’s five.

It also allows the AD6624 to be tailored in a system that employs
the AD6600, but does not utilize all of its signal range. For
example, if only the first four RSSI ranges are expected to occur,
the ExpOff could be adjusted to five, which would then make
RSSI = 4 correspond to the 0 dB point of the AD6624.

The NCO control register located at 0x88 is used to configure
the features of the NCO. These are controlled on a per-channel
basis. These are described below.
Bypass
The NCO in the front end of the AD6624 can be bypassed.
Bypass mode is enabled by setting Bit 0 of 0x88 high. When
they are bypassed, down conversion is not performed and the
AD6624 channel functions simply serve as a real filter on complex data. This is useful for passband sampling applications
where the A input is connected to the I signal path within the
filter, and the B input is connected to the Q signal path. This may
be desired if the digitized signal has already been converted to
pass band in prior analog stages or by other digital preprocessing.

Phase Dither
The AD6624 provides a phase dither option for improving the
spurious performance of the NCO. Phase dither is enabled by
setting Bit 1. When phase dither is enabled by setting this bit
high, spurs due to phase truncation in the NCO are randomized. The energy from these spurs is spread into the noise floor
and Spurious Free Dynamic Range is increased at the expense
of very slight decreases in the SNR. The choice of whether
phase dither is used in a system will ultimately be decided by the
system goals. If lower spurs are desired at the expense of a slightly
raised noise floor, it should be employed. If a low noise floor is
desired and the higher spurs can be tolerated or filtered by
subsequent stages, phase dither is not needed.

NUMERICALLY CONTROLLED OSCILLATOR
Frequency Translation
This processing stage comprises a digital tuner consisting of two
multipliers and a 32-bit complex NCO. Each channel of the
AD6624 has an independent NCO. The NCO serves as a quadrature local oscillator capable of producing an NCO frequency
between –CLK/2 and +CLK/2 with a resolution of CLK/232 in
the complex mode. The worst-case spurious signal from the NCO
is better than –100 dBc for all output frequencies.
Amplitude Dither
Amplitude dither can also be used to improve spurious performance of the NCO. Amplitude dither is enabled by setting Bit 2.
Amplitude dither improves performance by randomizing the
amplitude quantization errors within the angular to Cartesian
conversion of the NCO. This option may reduce spurs at the
expense of a slightly raised noise floor. Amplitude dither and
phase dither can be used together, separately, or not at all.
The NCO frequency value in registers 0x85 and 0x86 are interpreted as a 32-bit unsigned integer. The NCO frequency is
calculated using the equation below.
f

NCO _ FREQ = 232 × mod  CHANNEL 
 CLK 

Clear Phase Accumulator on HOP
When Bit 3 is set, the NCO phase accumulator is cleared prior
to a frequency hop. This ensures a consistent phase of the NCO
on each hop. The NCO phase offset is unaffected by this setting
and is still in effect. If phase-continuous hopping is desired, this
bit should be cleared and the last phase in the NCO phase register will be the initiating point for the new frequency.
NCO_FREQ is the 32-bit integer (Registers 0x85 and 0x86),
fCHANNEL is the desired channel frequency, and
CLK* is the AD6624 master clock rate (CLK).
*See NCO Mode Control section.
NCO Frequency Hold-Off Register
When the NCO Frequency registers are written, data is actually
passed to a shadow register. Data may be moved to the main
registers by one of two methods. The first is to start the chip
using the soft sync feature, which will directly load the NCO
registers. The second allows changes to be pre-written and then
updated through direct software control. To accomplish this,
there is an NCO Frequency Hold-Off Counter. The counter
(0x84) is a 16-bit unsigned integer and is clocked at the master
CLK rate. This hold-off counter is also used in conjunction with
the frequency hopping feature of this chip.
Phase Offset
The phase offset register (0x87) adds an offset to the phase
accumulator of the NCO. This is a 16-bit register and is interpreted as a 16-bit unsigned integer. A 0x0000 in this register
corresponds to a 0 radian offset and a 0xFFFF corresponds to
an offset of 2 π (1–1/(216)) radians. This register allows multiple
NCOs to be synchronized to produce sine waves with a known
and steady phase difference.
REV. B
Input Enable Control
There are four different modes of operation for the input enable.
Each of the high-speed input ports includes an IEN line. Any of
the four filter channels can be programmed to take data from
either of the two A or B Input Ports (see WB Input Select section).
Along with data is the IEN(A,B) signal. Each filter channel can
be configured to process the IEN signal in one of four modes.
Three of the modes are associated with when data is processed
based on a time division multiplexed data stream. The fourth
mode is used in applications that employ time division duplex
such as radar, sonar, ultrasound, and communications that
involve TDD.
Mode 00: Blank On IEN Low
In this mode, data is blanked while the IEN line is low. During the
period of time when the IEN line is high, new data is strobed
on each rising edge of the input clock. When the IEN line is
–17–
AD6624
lowered, input data is replaced with zero values. During this
period, the NCO continues to run such that when the IEN line
is raised again, the NCO value will be at the value it would have
otherwise been in had the IEN line never been lowered. This
mode has the effect of blanking the digital inputs when the
IEN line is lowered. Back end processing (rCIC2, CIC5, and
RCF) continues while the IEN line is high. This mode is useful
for time division multiplexed applications.
Mode 01: Clock On IEN High
In this mode, data is clocked into the chip while the IEN line is
high. During the period of time when the IEN line is high, new
data is strobed on each rising edge of the input clock. When
IEN line is lowered, input data is no longer latched into the
channel. Additionally, NCO advances are halted. However,
back end processing (rCIC2, CIC5, and RCF) continues during
this period. The primary use for this mode is to allow for a clock
that is faster than the input sample data rate to allow more filter
taps to be computed than would otherwise be possible. In Figure 26, input data is strobed only during the period of time when
IEN is high, despite the fact that the CLK continues to run at a
rate four times faster than the data.
these sync pins can be associated with any of the four receiver
channels within the AD6624. Additionally, if only one sync
signal is required for the system, all four receiver channels can
reference the same sync pulse. Bit value 00 is Channel A, 01 is
Channel B, 10 is Channel C, and 11 is Channel D.
SECOND ORDER rCIC FILTER
The rCIC2 filter is a second order cascaded resampling integrator comb filter. The resampler is implemented using a unique
technique, which does not require the use of a high-speed clock,
thus simplifying the design and saving power. The resampler
allows for noninteger relationships between the master clock
and the output data rate. This allows easier implementation of
systems that are either multimode or require a master clock that
is not a multiple of the data rate to be used.
Interpolation up to 512, and decimation up to 4096, is allowed
in the rCIC2. The resampling factor for the rCIC2 (L) is a 9-bit
integer. When combined with the decimation factor M, a 12-bit
number, the total rate change can be any fraction in the form of:
RrCIC 2
CLK
tSI tHI
IN[13:0]
n
L
M

RrCIC 2 =
(3)
The only constraint is that the ratio L/M must be less than or
equal to one. This implies that the rCIC2 decimates by 1 or more.
n+1
E[2:0]
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).

Mode 10: Clock on IEN Transition to High
In this mode, data is clocked into the chip only on the first clock
edge after the rising transition of the IEN line. Although data is
only latched on the first valid clock edge, the back end processing (rCIC2, CIC5, and RCF) continues on each available clock
that may be present, similar to Mode 01. The NCO phase accumulator is incremented only once for each new input data sample
and not once for each input clock.
Mode 11: Clock on IEN Transition to Low
In this mode, data is clocked into the chip only on the first clock
edge after the falling transition of the IEN line. Although data is
only latched on the first valid clock edge, the back end processing (rCIC2, CIC5, and RCF) continues on each available clock
that may be present, similar to Mode 01. The NCO phase accumulator is incremented only once for each new input data sample
and not once for each input clock.
The filter can process signals at the full rate of the input port,
80 MHz. The output rate of this stage is given by Equation 4.
fSAMP 2 =
LrCIC 2 × fSAMP
MrCIC 2
Both LrCIC2 and MrCIC2 are unsigned integers. The interpolation
rate (LrCIC2) may be from 1 to 512 and the decimation (MrCIC2)
may be between 1 and 4096. The stage can be bypassed by
setting the decimation to 1/1.
The frequency response of the rCIC2 filter is given by Equation 5.

The scale factor, SrCIC2 is a programmable, unsigned 5-bit value
between 0 and 31. This serves as an attenuator that can reduce
the gain of the rCIC2 in 6 dB increments. For the best dynamic
range, SrCIC2 should be set to the smallest value possible (i.e.,
lowest attenuation) without creating an overflow condition.
This can be safely accomplished using the following equation:

where input_level is the largest fraction of full-scale possible at

is always used whether or not the rCIC2 is bypassed.
Example Calculations
Moreover, there are two scale registers (rCIC2_LOUD[4:0]
Bits 4–0 in x92), and (rCIC2_QUIET[4:0] Bits 9–5 in 0x92)
that are used in conjunction with the computed SrCIC2 which
determines the overall rCIC2 scaling. The SrCIC2 value must
be summed with the values in each respective scale register and
ExpOff, to determine the scale value that must be placed in the
rCIC2 scale register. This number must be less than 32 or the
interpolation and decimation rates must be adjusted to validate
this equation. The ceil function denotes the next whole integer
and the floor function denotes the previous whole integer. For
example, the ceil(4.5) is 5 while the floor(4.5) is 4.
Solution: First determine the percentage of the sample rate that
is represented by the passband.
The gain and passband droop of the rCIC2 should be calculated
by the equations above, as well as the filter transfer equations
that follow. Excessive passband droop can be compensated
for in the RCF stage by peaking the passband by the inverse
of the roll-off.

data rate into the rCIC2 stage. The data in this table may be
scaled to any other allowable sample rate up to 80 MHz in
Single Channel Mode or 40 MHz in Diversity Channel Mode.

decimation between rCIC2, CIC5, and the RCF.

Find the –100 dB column in Table III and look down this column
for a value greater than or equal to your passband percentage of
the clock rate. Then look across to the extreme left column and
find the corresponding rate-change factor (MrCIC2/LrCIC2). Referring to the table, notice that for a MrCIC2/LrCIC2 of 4, the frequency
having –100 dB of alias rejection is 0.071 percent, which is
slightly greater than the 0.07 percent calculated. Therefore, for
this example, the maximum bound on rCIC2 rate change is 4.
A higher chosen MrCIC2/LrCIC2 means less alias rejection than
the 100 dB required.
An MrCIC2/LrCIC2 of less than four would still yield the required
rejection; however, the power consumption can be minimized
by decimating as much as possible in this rCIC2 stage. Decimation in rCIC2 lowers the data rate, and thus reduces power
consumed in subsequent stages. It should also be noted that
there is more than one way to determine the decimation by 4. A
decimation of 4 is the same as an L/M ratio of 0.25. Thus any
integer combination of L/M that yields 0.25 will work (1/4, 2/8,
or 4/16). However, for the best dynamic range, the simplest
ratio should be used. For example, 1/4 gives better performance
than 4/16.
Decimation and Interpolation Registers
rCIC2 decimation values are stored in register 0x90. This is a
12-bit register and contains the decimation portion less 1. The
interpolation portion is stored in register 0x91. This 9-bit value
holds the interpolation less one.

Register 0x92 contains the scaling information for this section of
the circuit. The primary function is to store the scale value
computed in the sections above.
Bits 4–0 (rCIC2_LOUD[4:0]) of this register are used to contain the scaling factor for the rCIC2 during conditions of strong
signals. These five bits represent the rCIC2 scalar calculated above
plus any external signal scaling with an attenuator.
Bits 9–5 (rCIC2_QUIET[4:0]) of this register are used to contain the scaling factor for the rCIC2 during conditions of weak
signals. In this register, no external attenuator would be used
and is not included. Only the value computed above is stored in
these bits.
Bit 10 of this register is used to indicate the value of the external
exponent. If this bit is set LOW, each external exponent represents 6 dB per step as in the AD6600. If this bit is set to HIGH,
each exponent represents a 12 dB step.
–19–
AD6624
Bit 11 of this register is used to invert the external exponent
before internal calculation. This bit should be set HIGH for
gain-ranging ADCs that use an increasing exponent to represent
an increasing signal level. This bit should be set LOW for gainranging ADCs that use a decreasing exponent for representing
an increasing signal level.
In applications that do not require the features of the rCIC2, it
may be bypassed by setting the L/M ratio to 1/1. This effectively
bypasses all circuitry of the rCIC2 except the scaling, which is still
effectual.
FIFTH ORDER CASCADED INTEGRATOR COMB FILTER
The third signal processing stage, CIC5, implements a sharper,
fixed-coefficient, decimating filter than CIC2. The input rate to
this filter is fSAMP2. The maximum input rate is given by Equation 9. NCH equals two for Diversity Channel Real input mode;
otherwise NCH equals one. In order to satisfy this equation, MCIC2
can be increased, NCH can be reduced, or fCLK can be increased
(reference fractional rate input timing described in the Input
Timing section).

The decimation ratio, MCIC5, may be programmed from 2 to 32
(all integer values). The frequency response of the filter is given
by Equation 10. The gain and passband droop of CIC5 should
be calculated by these equations. Both parameters may be compensated for in the RCF stage.

CIC 5
The scale factor, SCIC5 is a programmable unsigned integer
between 0 and 20. It serves to control the attenuation of the
data into the CIC5 stage in 6 dB increments. For the best
dynamic range, SCIC5 should be set to the smallest value possible
(lowest attenuation) without creating an overflow condition.
This can be safely accomplished using Equation 11, where
OL rCIC2 is the largest fraction of full scale possible at the input
to this filter stage. This value is output from the rCIC2 stage,
then pipelined into the CIC5.

As in Table III, these are the 1/2 bandwidth characteristics of
the CIC5. Note that the CIC5 stage can protect a much wider
band than the CIC2 for any given rejection.

This table helps to calculate an upper bound on decimation,
MCIC5, given the desired filter characteristics.
RAM COEFFICIENT FILTER
The final signal processing stage is a sum-of-products decimating filter with programmable coefficients (see Figure 27). The
data memories I-RAM and Q-RAM store the 160 most recent
complex samples from the previous filter stage with 20-bit resolution. The coefficient memory, CMEM, stores up to 256
coefficients with 20-bit resolution. On every CLK cycle, one tap
for I and one tap for Q are calculated using the same coefficients. The RCF output consists of 24-bit data bits.

When the RCF is triggered to calculate a filter output, it starts
by multiplying the oldest value in the data RAM by the first
coefficient, which is pointed to by the RCF Coefficient Offset
Register (0xA3). This value is accumulated with the products
of newer data words multiplied by the subsequent locations
in the coefficient RAM until the coefficient address
RCFOFF + NTAPS –1 is reached.

RCF Decimation Register
Each RCF channel can be used to decimate the data rate. The
decimation register is an 8-bit register and can decimate from 1
to 256. The RCF decimation is stored in 0xA0 in the form of
MRCF-1. The input rate to the RCF is fSAMP5.
RCF Decimation Phase
The RCF decimation phase can be used to synchronize multiple
filters within a chip. This is useful when using multiple channels
within the AD6624 to implement polyphase filter allowing the
resources of several filters to be operated in parallel and shared.
In such an application, two RCF filters would be processing the
same data from the CIC5. However, each filter will be delayed
by one-half the decimation rate, thus creating a 180° phase
difference between the two halves. The AD6624 filter channel
uses the value stored in this register to preload the RCF counter.
Therefore, instead of starting from 0, the counter is loaded with
this value, thus creating an offset in the processing that should
be equivalent to the required processing delay. This data is
stored in 0xA1 as an 8-bit number.

The RCF Coefficient Offset register can be used for two purposes. The main purpose of this register is to allow multiple
filters to be loaded into memory and selected simply by changing the offset as a pointer for rapid filter changes. The other use
of this register is to form part of symbol timing adjustment. If
the desired filter length is padded with zeros on the ends, the
starting point can be adjusted to form slight delays when the
filter is computed with reference to the high-speed clock. This
allows for vernier adjustment of the symbol timing. Course
adjustments can be made with the RCF Decimation Phase.
The output rate of this filter is determined by the output rate of
the CIC5 stage and MRCF.
fSAMPR =
RCF Filter Length
The maximum number of taps this filter can calculate, NTAPS, is
given by the equation below. The value NTAPS –1 is written to
the channel register within the AD6624 at address 0xA2.

The RCF coefficients are located in addresses 0x00 to 0x7F and
are interpreted as 20-bit two’s-complement numbers. When
writing the coefficient RAM, the lower addresses will be multiplied by relatively older data from the CIC5, and the higher
coefficient addresses will be multiplied by relatively newer data
from the CIC5. The coefficients need not be symmetric and the
coefficient length, NTAPS, may be even or odd. If the coefficients
are symmetric, both sides of the impulse response must be written into the coefficient RAM.
Although the base memory for coefficients is only 128 words
long, the actual length is 256 words. There are two pages, each
of 128 words. The page is selected by Bit 8 of 0xA4. Although
this data must be written in pages, the internal core handles
filters that exceed the length of 128 taps. Therefore, the full
length of the data RAM may be used as the filter length (160 taps).
The RCF stores the data from the CIC5 into a 160 × 40 RAM.
160 × 20 is assigned to I data and 160 × 20 is assigned to Q
data. The RCF uses the RAM as a circular buffer, so that it is
difficult to know in which address a particular data element is
stored. To avoid start-up transients due to undefined data RAM
values, the data RAM should be cleared upon initialization.

RCF Output Scale Factor and Control Register
Register 0xA4 is a compound register used to configure several
aspects of the RCF register. Bits 3–0 are used to set the scale of
the fixed-point output mode. This scale value may also be used
to set the floating-point outputs in conjunction with Bit 6 of
this register.
Bits 4 and 5 determine the output mode. Mode 00 sets up the
chip in fixed-point mode. The number of bits is determined by
the serial port configuration. See Serial Output Data Port section.
Mode 01 selects floating-point mode 8 + 4. In this mode, an 8-bit
mantissa is followed by a 4-bit exponent. In mode 1x (x is don’t
care), the mode is 12 + 4, or 12-bit mantissa and 4-bit exponent.

Normally, the AD6624 will determine the exponent value that
optimizes numerical accuracy. However, if Bit 6 is set, the value
stored in Bits 3–0 is used to scale the output. This ensures consistent scaling and accuracy during conditions that may warrant
predictable output ranges.
If Bit 7 is set, the same exponent will be used for both the real
and imaginary (I and Q) outputs. The exponent used will be the
one that prevents numeric overflow at the expense of small
signal accuracy. However, this is seldom a problem as small
numbers would represent 0 regardless of the exponent used.
–21–
AD6624
Bit 8 is the RCF bank select bit used to program the register.
When this bit is 0, the lowest block of 128 is selected (Taps 0
through 127). When high, the highest block is selected (Taps
128 through 255). It should be noted that while the chip is
computing filters, Tap 127 is adjacent to 128 and there are no
paging issues.
CHANNEL BIST
The Channel BIST is a thorough test of the selected AD6624
signal path. With this test mode, it is possible to use externally
supplied vectors or an internal pseudo-random generator. An
error signature register in the RCF monitors the output data of
the channel and is used to determine if the proper data exits
the RCF. If errors are detected, each internal block may be
bypassed and another test can be run to debug the fault. The
I and Q paths are tested independently. The following steps
should be followed to perform this test.
Bit 9 selects the origin of the input to each RCF. If Bit 9 is
clear, the RCF input comes from the CIC5 normally associated with the RCF. If, however, the bit is set, the input comes
from CIC5 Channel 1. The only exception is Channel 1, which
uses the output of CIC5 Channel 0 as its alternate. Using this
feature, each RCF can either operate on its own channel data
or be paired with the RCF of Channel 1. The RCF of Channel
1 can also be paired with Channel 0. This control bit is used
with polyphase distributed filtering.
If Bit 10 is clear, the AD6624 channel operates in normal mode.
However, if Bit 10 is set, the RCF is bypassed to Channel BIST.
See BIST (Built-In Self-Test) section below for more details.
USER-CONFIGURABLE BUILT-IN SELF-TEST (BIST)
The AD6624 includes two built-in test features to test the integrity of each channel. The first is a RAM BIST, which is intended
to test the integrity of the high-speed random access memory
within the AD6624. The second is Channel BIST, which is
designed to test the integrity of the main signal paths of the
AD6624. Each BIST function is independent of the other,
meaning that each channel can be tested independently at the
same time.
RAM BIST
The RAM BIST can be used to validate functionality of the
on-chip RAM. This feature provides a simple pass/fail test,
which will give confidence that the channel RAM is operational.
The following steps should be followed to perform this test.
• The channels to be tested should be put into Sleep mode via
the external address register 0x011.
• The RAM BIST Enable bit in the RCF register xA8 should
be set high.
• Wait 1600 clock cycles.
• Register 0xA8 should be read back. If Bit 0 is high, the test is
not yet complete. If Bit 0 is low, the test is complete and Bits 1
and 2 indicate the condition of the internal RAM. If Bit 1 is
high, CMEM is bad. If Bit 2 is high, DMEM is bad.

• The channels to be tested should be configured as required
for the application setting the decimation rates, scalars, and
RCF coefficients.
• The channels should remain in the Sleep mode.
• The Start Hold-Off counter of the channels to be tested
should be set to 1.
• Memory location 0xA5 and 0xA6 should be set to 0.
• The Channel BIST located at 0xA7 should be enabled by
setting Bits 19–0 to the number of RCF outputs to observe.
• Bit 4 of external address register 5 should be set high to start
the soft sync.
• Set the SYNC bits high for the channels to be tested.
• Bit 6 must be set to 0 to allow the user to provide test vectors.
The internal pseudo-random number generator may also be
used to generate an input sequence by setting Bit 7 high.
• An internal –FS sine can be inserted when Bit 6 is set to 1
and Bit 7 is cleared.
• When the SOFT_SYNC is addressed, the selected channels
will come out of the Sleep mode and processing will occur.
• If the user is providing external vectors, the chip may be
brought out of Sleep mode by one of the other methods,
provided that either of the IEN inputs is inactive until the
channel is ready to accept data.
• After a sufficient amount of time, the Channel BIST Signature registers 0xA5 and 0xA6 will contain a numeric value
that can be compared to the expected value for a known
good AD6624 with the exact same configuration. If the
values are the same, there is a very low probability that there
is an error in the channel.
CHIP SYNCHRONIZATION
Two types of synchronization can be achieved with the AD6624.
These are Start and Hop. Each is described in detail below. The
synchronization is accomplished with the use of a shadow register
and a hold-off counter. See Figure 28 for a simplistic schematic of the NCO shadow register and NCO Freq Hold-Off
counter to understand basic operation. Enabling the clock
(AD6624 CLK) for the hold-off counter can occur with either
a Soft_Sync (via the microport), or a Pin Sync (via any of the
four AD6624 SYNC Pins A, B, C, and D). The functions that
include shadow registers to allow synchronization include:

Start
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 AD6624 RESET pin), all channels are placed
in the Sleep mode. Channels may also be manually put to sleep
by writing to the mode register controlling the sleep function.
Start with No Sync
If no synchronization is needed to start multiple channels or
multiple AD6624s, the following method should be used to
initialize the device.
1. To program a channel, it should first be set to Sleep mode
(bit high) (Ext Address 3). All appropriate control and memory
registers (filter) are then loaded. The Start Update Hold-Off
Counter (0x83) should be set to 1.
2. Set the appropriate Sleep bit low (Ext Address 3). This enables
the channel. The channel must have Sleep mode low to activate
a channel.
Start with Soft Sync
The AD6624 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 (0x83), in conjunction with the Start bit and Sync bit
(Ext Address 5), allows this synchronization. Basically, the Start
Update Hold-Off Counter delays the Start of a channel(s) by its
value (number of AD6624 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 AD6624 Reset pin brings all four channels up in
Sleep mode).
2. Note that the time RDY (Pin 57) goes high to when the NCO
begins processing data is the contents of the Start Update
Hold-Off Counter(s) (0x83) plus six master clock cycles.
REV. B
4. Write the Start bit and the Sync bit high (Ext Address 5).
The AD6624 has four Sync pins, A, B, C, and D, that can be
used to provide for very accurate synchronization channels.
Each channel can be programmed to look at any of the four Sync
pins. Additionally, any or all channels can monitor a single Sync
pin or each can monitor a separate pin, providing complete flexibility of synchronization. Synchronization of Start with one of the
external signals is accomplished with the following method.
1. Set the appropriate channels to Sleep mode (a hard reset
to the AD6624 RESET pin brings all four channels up in
Sleep mode).
2. Note that the time from when the SYNC pin goes high to
when the NCO begins processing data is the contents of the
Start Update Hold-Off Counter(s) (0x83) plus three master
clock cycles.
3. Write the Start Update Hold-Off Counter(s) (0x83) 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.
4. Set the Start on Pin Sync bit and the appropriate Sync Pin
Enable high (Ext Address 4 ) (A, B, C, or D).
5. When the Sync pin is sampled high by the AD6624 CLK,
it enables the countdown of the Start Update Hold-Off
Counter. The counter is clocked with the AD6624 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
Hop is a jump from one NCO frequency to a new NCO frequency. This change in frequency can be synchronized via
microprocessor control (Soft Sync) or an external Sync signal
(Pin Sync) as described below.
To set the NCO frequency without synchronization, the following method should be used.
Set Freq No Hop
1. Set the NCO Freq Hold-Off counter to 0.
2. Load the appropriate NCO frequency. The new frequency
will be immediately loaded to the NCO.
Hop with Soft Sync
The AD6624 includes the ability to synchronize a change in
NCO frequency of multiple channels or chips under microprocessor control. The NCO Freq Hold-Off counter (0x84), in
conjunction with the Hop bit and the Sync bit (Ext Address 4),
allow this synchronization. Basically, the NCO Freq Hold-Off
counter delays the new frequency from being loaded into the
NCO by its value (number of AD6624 CLKs). The following
method is used to synchronize a hop in frequency of multiple
channels via microprocessor control.

overflow at the expense of small number accuracy. However,
this should not be a problem as small numbers imply numbers
close to zero.
2. Write the NCO Freq Hold-Off (0x84) counter to the appropriate value (greater than 1 and less then 216–1).
Finally, the AD6624 channel can be forced to use a preselected
scale factor if desired. This allows for a consistent range of data
useful to many applications.
3. Write the NCO Frequency register(s) to the new desired
frequency.
Serial Data Frame (Serial Bus Master)
The serial data frame is initiated with the Serial Data Frame Sync
(SDFS0, SDFS1, SDFS2, or SDFS3). As each channel within
the AD6624 completes a filter cycle, data is transferred into the
serial data buffer. In the Serial Bus Master (SBM) mode, the internal serial controller initiates the SDFS on the next rising edge of
the serial clock. In the AD6624, there are three different modes
in which the frame sync may be generated as a Serial Bus Master.
4. Write the Hop bit and the Sync(s) bit high (Ext Address 4).
5. This starts the NCO Freq Hold-Off counter counting down.
The counter is clocked with the AD6624 CLK signal. When
it reaches a count of one, the new frequency is loaded into
the NCO.
Hop with Pin Sync
The AD6624 includes four Sync pins to provide the most accurate synchronization, especially between multiple AD6624s.
Synchronization of hopping to a new NCO frequency with an
external signal is accomplished using the following method:
1. Note that the time from when the Sync pin goes high to when
the NCO begins processing data is the contents of the NCO Freq
Hold-Off counter (0x84) plus five master clock cycles.
2. Write the NCO Freq Hold-Off counter(s) (0x84) to the
appropriate value (greater than 1 and less than 216–1).
In the first mode, the SDFS is valid for one complete clock cycle
prior to the data shift. On the next clock cycle, the AD6624 begins
shifting out the digitally processed data stream. Depending on
the bit precision of the serial configuration, either 12, 16, or 24
bits of I data are shifted out, followed by 12, 16, or 24 bits of
Q data. The format of this data will be in one of the formats
listed above. In the second mode, the SDFS is high for the
entire time that valid bits are being shifted. The SDFS bit goes
high concurrent with the first bit shifted out of the AD6624.
3. Write the NCO Frequency register(s) to the new desired
frequency.

SERIAL OUTPUT DATA PORT
The AD6624 has four configurable serial output ports (SDO0,
SDO1, SDO2, and SDO3). Each port can be operated independently of the other, making it possible to connect each to
a different DSP. In the case where a single DSP is required, the
ports can easily be configured to work with a single serial port
on a single DSP. As such, each output may be configured as
either serial master or slave. Additionally, each channel can be
configured independently of the others.
Serial Output Data Format
The AD6624 works with a variety of output data formats. These
include word lengths of 12-, 16-, and 24-bit precision. In addition to the normal linear binary data format, the AD6624 offers
a floating-point data format to simplify numeric processing.
These formats are 8-bit mantissa with 4-bit exponent, and
12-bit mantissa and 4-bit exponent. These modes are available
regardless of the bit precision of the serial data frame. In the
normal linear binary data format, a programmable internal 4-bit
scaling factor is used to scale the output. See the RCF Output
Scale Factor section and Control Register above for more details.
In all modes, the data is shifted out of the device in Big Endian
format (MSB first).
In floating-point mode, the chip normally determines the exponent automatically; however, the chip can be forced to use the
same exponent for both the real and imaginary portion of the
data. The choice of exponents favors prevention of numerical

of the frame or it can be used as the SDFS (Serial Data Frame
Sync) of another AD6624 chip or channel running in Serial
Cascade mode.
Serial Data Frame (Serial Cascade)
Any of the AD6624 serial outputs may be operated in the serial
cascade mode (serial slave). In this mode, the selected AD6624
channel requires an external device such as a DSP to issue the
serial clock and SDFS.
To operate successfully in the serial cascade mode, the DSP
must have some indication that the AD6624 channel’s serial
buffer is ready to send data. This is indicated by the assertion of
the DRx pin where “x” is the channel number. This pin should
be tied to an interrupt or flag pin of the DSP. In this manner,
the DSP will know when to service the serial port.
When the DSP begins handling the serial service, the serial port
should be configured such that the SDFS pin is asserted one
clock cycle prior to shifting data. As such, the AD6624 channel
samples the SDFS pin on the rising edge of the serial clock. On
the next rising edge of the serial clock, the AD6624 serial
port begins shifting data until the specified number of bits
has been shifted.

Serial Port Data Rate
If a Serial Port is defined as a master, the SCLK frequency is
defined by Equation 15. fCLK is the frequency of the master
clock of the AD6624 channel and SDIV is the Serial Division
word for the channel (1, 2, or 3). The SDIV for Serial Port 0
is located directly as pins on the package for easy hardware
configuration and is not mapped into 0xA9. For Serial Ports
1, 2, and 3, the internal register 0xA9 Bits 3–0 define the SDIV
(SDIV0, SDIV1, SDIV2, SDIV3) word.
fSCLK =
(15)
Serial Port to DSP Interconnection
The AD6624 is very flexible in the manner that the serial ports
can be configured and connected to external devices. Each of
the channels can be independently configured and processed by
different DSPs or all of the channels can be chained together to
form a TDM (time division multiplexed) serial chain. This allows
one DSP to handle all of the channels. Additionally, the channels can be parceled off in any combination in between.
To configure a channel as a serial bus master, Bit 4 of register 0xA9 should be set high. However, as with the SDIV pins,
Channel 0 SBM is not mapped to memory and is instead pinned
out and must be hard-wired as either a master or a slave. Figure 34
shows the typical interconnections between an AD6624 Channel
in Serial Bus Master mode and a DSP.

Configuring the Serial Ports
Each Serial Output Port may function as either a master or
slave. A Serial Bus Master will provide SCLK (SCLK0, SCLK1,
SCLK2, SCLK3) and SDFS outputs. A Serial Slave will accept
these signals as inputs. Upon the lift of RESET, Serial Port 0
will become a master if the SBM0 pin is high, and a slave if
SBM0 is low. Serial Ports 1, 2, and 3 will always default to serial
slaves when RESET is taken low. They can be programmed as a
master by setting the SBM1, SBM2, and SBM3 bits in the
0xA9 Registers high.
REV. B
The AD6624 can also be operated as a serial bus slave. In this
configuration, shown in Figure 35, the serial clock provided by the
DSP can be asynchronous with the AD6624 clock and input data.
In this mode, the clock has a maximum frequency of 62.5 MHz
and must be fast enough to read the entire serial frame prior to
the next frame coming available. Since the AD6624 output is
derived (via the Decimation/Interpolation Rates) from its input
sample rate, the output rate can be determined by the user. The
output rate of the AD6624 is given below.

Serial Ports Cascaded
Serial output ports may be cascaded on the AD6624 such that
the SDO’s outputs are shorted together. In this mode, the SDO
port of the master channel three-states when the SDO port of
the slave channel is active. This allows data to be shifted out of
a slave channel immediately following the completion of data
frame (I/Q pair) shifting out of a master AD6624 channel. To
accomplish this, the SDFE signal of the master channel drives
the SDFS input of the slave channel. Serial output port cascading can be used with channels on the same AD6624 device, or
with channels on two different devices as shown in Figure 36.
To satisfy tSSF and tHSF timing requirements of the slave channel, the SDFE signal from the master channel should be delayed
using a noninverting buffer (e.g., 74LVC244A) that provides a
minimum of 1.5 ns of propagation delay. Figure 36 shows the
cascade capability between two AD6624 devices. The first is
connected as a serial master (SBM = 1) and the second is configured in Serial Cascade mode (SBM = 0).
Using the AD6624 master/slave mode permits a DSP to shift
the data from the master AD6624 serial port, followed immediately by a frame of data (I and Q words) from the AD6624 slave
port. As shown in Figure 36, the master port is Serial Port 0. The
slave port can be either Serial Port 1, 2, or 3, or a Serial Port 0
from another AD6624. Other AD6624 serial ports can be cascaded
to the slave port by using the SDFE and SDFS in the manner
shown. The only limit to the number of ports that can be cascaded comes from serial bandwidth and fan-out considerations.

Serial Output Frame Timing (Master and Slave)
The SDFS signal transitions accordingly depending on whether
the part is in Master (SBM = 1, Figure 43) or Slave (SBM = 0,
Figure 32) mode. The next rising edge of SCLK after this occurs
will drive the first bit of the serial data on the SDO pin. The
falling edge of SCLK or the subsequent rising edge can then be
used by the DSP to sample the data until the required number
of bits is received (determined by the serial output port word
length). If the DSP has the ability to count bits, the DSP will
know when the complete frame is received. If not, the DSP can
monitor the SDFE pin to determine that the frame is complete.
Serial Port Timing Specifications
Whether the AD6624 serial channel is operated as a Serial Bus
Master or as a Serial Slave, the serial port timing is identical.
Figures 38 to 44 indicate the required timing for each of the
specifications.
tSCLK
There must be enough serial clock cycles available to shift the
necessary data into the DSP, and the SCLK (common to all
channels and DSP) must be closely monitored to ensure that it
is a clean signal. For systems where a single DSP serial port will
be connected to many AD6624 serial ports, it is recommended
that the SCLK signal from the master be buffered to the slaves.

SBM0 is the Serial Bus Master pin for the Channel 0 Serial Port
only. Serial Ports 1, 2, and 3 will always default to Serial Slave
mode but can be programmed as masters in the internal register
space. The SBM0 pin gives the user the option to boot the
AD6624 through Serial Port 0 as a master. When SBM0 is high
(master mode), the AD6624 generates SCLK0 and SDFS0.
When SBM0 is low (slave mode), the AD6624 accepts external
SCLK0 and SDFS0 signals. When configured as a bus master,
the SCLK0 signal can be used to strobe data into the DSP interface. When used with another AD6624 in Serial Cascade mode,
SCLK0 can be taken from the master AD6624 and used to shift
data out from the cascaded device. In this situation, SDFS of
the slave AD6624 channel is connected to the SDFE pin of the
master AD6624 channel (or the preceding chip in the chain).
When an AD6624 is in Serial Slave mode, all of the serial port
activities are controlled by the external signals SCLK and SDFS.
REV. B
AD6624
Regardless of whether the chip is a Serial Bus Master or is in
Serial Slave mode, the AD6624 Serial Port functions are identical except for the source of the SCLK and SDFS pins.
SDFS is inserted one clock cycle prior to the shift of the first
Q bit. In this manner, each word out of the AD6624 is accompanied by an SDFS.
SCLK
SDFE
SCLK is an output when SBM (SBM0 or register bit for Serial
Ports 1, 2, and 3) is high; SCLK is an input when SBM (SBM0
or register bit for Serial Ports 1, 2, and 3) is low in serial slave
mode. In either case, the SDIN input is sampled on the falling
edge of SCLK and all outputs are switched on the rising edge of
SCLK. The SDFS pin is sampled on the falling edge of SCLK.
This allows the AD6624 to recognize the SDFS in time to initiate a
frame on the very next SCLK rising edge. The maximum speed
of this port is 80 MHz.
SDFE is the Serial Data Frame End output. SDFE will go high
during the last SCLK cycle (LSB of the Q word) of an active
time-slot. The SDFE output of a master AD6624 channel can
be tied to the input SDFS of an AD6624 channel in Serial Slave
mode in order to provide a hard-wired time-slot scenario. When
the last bit of SDO data is shifted out of the Master AD6624, the
SDFE signal will be driven high by the same SCLK rising edge
on which this bit is clocked out. On the falling edge of this
SCLK cycle, the slaved serial port will sample its SDFS signal,
which is hard-wired to the SDFE of the master. On the very
next SCLK rising edge, data of the slave will start shifting. There
will be no rest between the time slots of the master and slave.
SDIN
SDIN is the Serial Data Input. Serial Data is sampled on the
falling edge of SCLK. This pin is used in the serial control
mode to write the internal control registers of the AD6624.
These activities are described later in the Serial Port Control
section. The Serial Input Port is self-framing and bears no fixed
relationship to either SDFS or SDFE.
SDO
SDO is the Serial Data Output. Serial output data is shifted on
the rising edge of SCLK. On the very next SCLK rising edge
after an SDFS, the MSB of the I data from the channel is shifted.
On every subsequent SCLK edge, a new piece of data is shifted
out on the SDO pin until the last bit of data is shifted out. The
last bit of data shifted is the LSB of the Channel’s Q data. SDO
is three-stated when the serial port is outside its time-slot. This
allows the AD6624 to share the SDIN of a DSP with other
AD6624s or other devices.
SDFS
SDFS is the Serial Data Frame Sync signal. SDFS is an output
when SBM (SBM0 or register bit for Serial Ports 1, 2, and 3)
is high in the Master mode. SDFS is an input when SBM
(SBM0 or register bit for Serial Ports 1, 2, and 3) is low in the
Slave mode. SDFS is sampled on the falling edge of SCLK.
When SBM is sampled low, the AD6624 serial port will function as a serial slave. In this mode, the port is silent until the
DSP issues a frame sync. When the AD6624 detects an SDFS
on the falling edge of a DSP-generated serial clock, on the next
rising edge of the serial clock, the AD6624 enables the output
driver and shifts the MSB of the I word. Data is shifted until the
LSB of the Q word has been sent. On the LSB of the Q word,
the AD6624 generates an SDFE, which can be cascaded to the
next SDFS on a TDM serial chain or to the DSP to indicate
that the last bit has been sent.
When SBM is sampled high, the chip functions as a serial bus
master. In this mode, the AD6624 is responsible for generating
serial control data. Three modes of that operation are set via
channel address 0xA9 Bits 8–7. Each behaves a little differently,
as detailed below.
In the first mode (0xA9 Bits 8–7:00), the SDFS is valid for one
complete clock cycle prior to the data shift. On the next clock
cycle, the AD6624 begins shifting serial data. In the second mode,
(0xA9 Bits 8–7:01), the SDFS is high for the entire time that
valid bits are being shifted. The SDFS bit goes high concurrent
with the first bit shifted out of the AD6624 and returns low
after the last bit is shifted out of the AD6624. In the third mode
(0xA9 Bits 8–7:10), the SDFS bit goes high as in the first mode,
one clock cycle prior to the actual data. However, a second
REV. B
Serial Word Length
Bits 6–5 of register 0xA9 determine the length of the serial word
(I or Q). If these bits are set to ‘00,’ each word is 12 bits (12
bits for I and 12 more bits for Q). If set to ‘01,’ the serial words
are 16 bits wide, and if set to ‘1x’ (x is don’t care), the word
length is 24 bits.
SDFS Mode
Bits 8–7 of register 0xA9 determine how the SFDS behaves in
Serial Bus Master mode. In Serial Slave mode, the frame sync
must be formatted by programming Bits 8–7 to ‘00.’
The first mode is set by programming Bits 8–7 to ‘00’. In this
mode, the SDFS is valid for one complete clock cycle prior to
the data shift. On the next clock cycle, the AD6624 begins shifting out the digitally processed data stream. Depending on the
bit precision of the serial configuration, either 12, 16, or 24 bits
of I data are shifted out, followed by 12, 16, or 24 bits of Q data.
The second mode is set by programming Bits 8–7 to ‘01.’ In this
mode, the SDFS is high for the entire time that valid bits are
being shifted. The SDFS bit goes high concurrent with the
first bit shifted out of the AD6624 and goes low after the last bit
has been shifted.
The third mode is set by programming Bits 8–7 to ‘1x’ (x is
don’t care). In this mode, the SDFS bit goes high as in the first
mode, one clock cycle prior to the actual data. However, a second SDFS is inserted one clock cycle prior to the shift of the first
Q bit. In this manner, each word out of the AD6624 is accompanied by an SDFS.
Mapping RCF Data to the BIST Registers
If Bit 9 of 0xA9 is set, RCF data is routed to the BIST registers.
This allows the filter results to be read from the microprocessor
port. This can be useful when the data must be accessed via a
parallel port and the decimation rate is sufficiently high that
throughput does not become an issue.
0x00–0x7F: Coefficient Memory (CMEM)
This is the Coefficient Memory (CMEM) used by the RCF. It is
memory mapped as 128 words by 20 bits. A second 128 words of
RAM may be accessed via this same location by writing Bit 8 of
the RCF control register high at channel address 0xA4. The
filter calculated will always use the same coefficients for I and
Q. By using memory from both of these 128 blocks, a filter up
to 160 taps can be calculated. Multiple filters can be loaded
and selected with a single internal access to the Coefficient
Offset Register at channel address 0xA3.

AD6624
0x80: Channel Sleep Register
0x85: NCO Frequency Register 0
This register contains the SLEEP bit for the channel. When this
bit is high, the channel is placed in a low power state. When this bit
is low, the channel processes data. Note that in serial slave mode,
the RESET pin needs to be held low for several SCLK cycles to
ensure that it will program this bit high. This bit can also be set
by accessing the SLEEP register at external address 3. When
the external SLEEP register is accessed, all four channels are
accessed simultaneously and the SLEEP bits of the channels are
set appropriately.
This register represents the 16 LSBs of the NCO Frequency
word. These bits are shadowed and are not updated to the register used for the processing until the channel is either brought
out of SLEEP or a Soft_SYNC or Pin_SYNC has been issued.
In the latter two cases, the register is updated when the Frequency Hold-Off Counter hits a value of one. If the Frequency
Hold-Off Counter is set to one, the register will be updated as
soon as the shadow is written.
0x81: Soft_SYNC Register
This register represents the 16 MSBs of the NCO Frequency word.
These bits are shadowed and are not updated to the register used
for the processing until the channel is either brought out of SLEEP
or a Soft_SYNC or Pin_SYNC has been issued. In the latter
two cases, the register is updated only when the Frequency
Hold-Off Counter hits a value of one. If the Frequency HoldOff Counter is set to one, the register will be updated as soon as
the shadow is written.
This register is used to initiate SYNC events through the microport. If the Hop bit is written high, the Hop Hold-Off Counter
at address 0x84 is loaded and begins to count down. When this
value reaches one, the NCO Frequency register used by the NCO
accumulator is loaded with the data from channel addresses 0x85
and 0x86. When the Start bit is set high, the Start Hold-Off
Counter is loaded with the value at address 0x83 and begins to
count down. When this value hits one, the Sleep bit in address
0x80 is dropped low and the channel is started.
0x86: NCO Frequency Register 1
0x87: NCO Phase Offset Register
This register represents a 16-bit phase offset to the NCO. It can
be interpreted as values ranging from 0 to just under 2 π.
0x82: Pin_SYNC Register
This register is used to control the functionality of the SYNC
pins. Any of the four SYNC pins can be chosen and monitored
by the channel. The channel can be configured to initiate either
a Start or Hop SYNC event by setting the Hop or Start bit high.
These bits function as enables so that when a SYNC pulse occurs
either the Start or Hop Hold-Off Counters are activated in the
same manner as with a Soft_SYNC.
0x83: Start Hold-Off Counter
The Start Hold-Off Counter is loaded with the value written to
this address when a Start_Sync is initiated. It can be initiated by
either a Soft_SYNC or Pin_SYNC. The counter begins decrementing and when it reaches a value of one, the channel is
brought out of SLEEP and begins processing data. If the channel is already running, the phase of the filters is adjusted such
that multiple AD6624s can be synchronized. A periodic pulse
on the SYNC pin can be used in this way to adjust the timing of
the filters with the resolution of the ADC sample clock. If this
register is written to a one, the Start will occur immediately
when the SYNC comes into the channel. If it is written to a
zero, no SYNC will occur.
0x84: NCO Frequency Hold-Off Counter
The NCO Frequency Hold-Off Counter is loaded with the value
written to this address when either a Soft_SYNC or Pin_SYNC
comes into the channel. The counter begins counting down so
that when it reaches one, the NCO Frequency word is updated
with the values of addresses 0x85 and 0x86. This is known as a
Hop or Hop_SYNC. If this register is written to a one, the NCO
Frequency will be updated immediately when the SYNC comes
into the channel. If it is written to a zero, no HOP will occur.
NCO HOPs can be either phase continuous or nonphase continuous, depending upon the state of Bit 3 of the NCO control
register at channel address 0x88. When this bit is low, the Phase
Accumulator of the NCO is not cleared, but starts to add the
new NCO Frequency word to the accumulator as soon as the
SYNC occurs. If this bit is high, the Phase Accumulator of the
NCO is cleared to zero and the new word is then accumulated.
0x88: NCO Control Register
This 9-bit register controls features of the NCO and the channel.
The bits are defined below. For more detail, the NCO section
should be consulted.
Bits 8–7 of this register choose which of the four SYNC pins are
used by the channel. The SYNC pin selected can be used to
initiate a START, HOP, or timing adjustment to the channel.
The Synchronization section of this data sheet provides more
details on this.
Bit 6 of this register defines whether the A or B Input Port is used
by the channel. If this bit is low, the A Input Port is selected; if
this bit is high, the B Input Port is selected. Each input port
consists of a 14-bit input mantissa (INx[13:0]), a 3-bit exponent
(EXPx[2:0]), and an input enable pin, IENx. The x represents
either A or B.
Bits 5–4 determine how the sample clock for the channel is
derived from the high-speed CLK signal. There are four possible choices. Each is defined below but for further detail, the
NCO section of the data sheet should be consulted.
When these bits are 00, the input sample rate (fSAMP) of the
channel is equal to the rate of the high-speed CLK signal. When
IEN is low, the data going into the channel is masked to 0. This
is an appropriate mode for TDD systems where the receiver
may wish to mask off the transmitted data yet still remain in the
proper phase for the next receive burst.
When these bits are 01, the input sample rate is determined by
the fraction of the rising edges of CLK on which the IEN input
is high. For example, if IEN toggles on every rising edge of
CLK, then the IEN signal will only be sampled high on one out
of every two rising edges of CLK. This means that the input
sample rate fSAMP will be 1/2 the CLK rate.
When these bits are 10, the input sample rate is determined by
the rate at which the IEN pin toggles. The data that is captured
on the rising edge of CLK after IEN transitions from low to
–30–
REV. B
AD6624
high is processed. When these bits are 11, the accumulator and
sample CLK are determined by the rate at which the IEN pin
toggles. The data that is captured on the rising edge of CLK
after IEN transitions from high to low is processed. For example,
Control Modes 10 and 11 can be used to allow interleaved data
from either the A or B Input Ports and then assigned to the respective channel. The IEN pin selects the data such that a channel
could be configured in Mode 10 and another could be configured in Mode 11.
Bit 3 determines whether or not the phase accumulator of the
NCO is cleared when a Hop occurs. The Hop can originate
from either the Pin_SYNC or Soft_SYNC. When this bit is set
to 0, the Hop is phase continuous and the accumulator is not
cleared. When this bit is set to 1, the accumulator is cleared to 0
before it begins accumulating the new frequency word. This is
appropriate when multiple channels are hopping from different
frequencies to a common frequency.
Bits 2–1 control whether or not the dithers of the NCO are activated. The use of these features is heavily determined by the
system constraints. Consult the NCO section of the data sheet
for more detailed information on the use of dither.
Bit 0 of this register allows the NCO Frequency translation stage to
be bypassed. When this occurs, the data from the A Input Port
is passed down the I path of the channel and the data from the
B Input Port is passed down the Q path of the channel. This allows
a real filter to be performed on baseband I and Q data.
0x90: rCIC2 Decimation–1 (M rCIC2–1)
This register is used to set the decimation in the rCIC2 filter. The
value written to this register is the decimation minus one. The
rCIC2 decimation can range from 1 to 4096 depending upon the
interpolation of the channel. The decimation must always be
greater than the interpolation. MrCIC2 must be chosen larger than
LrCIC2 and both must be chosen such that a suitable rCIC2
Scalar can be chosen. For more details, consult the rCIC2 section.
Bits 4–0 are the actual scale values used when the Level Indicator, LI pin associated with this channel is inactive.
0x93:
Reserved. (Must be written low.)
0x94: CIC5 Decimation–1 (M CIC5–1)
This register is used to set the decimation in the CIC5 filter.
The value written to this register is the decimation minus one.
Although this is an 8-bit register, the decimation is usually limited to values between 1 and 32. Decimations higher than 32
would require more scaling than the CIC5’s capability.
0x95: CIC5 Scale
The CIC5 scale factor is used to compensate for the growth of
the CIC5 filter. Consult the CIC5 section for details.
0x96:
Reserved. (Must be written low.)
0xA0: RCF Decimation–1 (M RCF–1)
This register is used to set the decimation of the RCF stage. The
value written is the decimation minus one. Although this is an 8-bit
register that allows decimation up to 256 for most filtering scenarios, the decimation should be limited to values between 1 and
32. Higher decimations are allowed, but the alias protection of the
RCF may not be acceptable for some applications.
0xA1: RCF Decimation Phase (P RCF)
This register allows any one of the MRCF phases of the filter to
be used and can be adjusted dynamically. Each time a filter is
started, this phase is updated. When a channel is synchronized,
it will retain the phase setting chosen here. This can be used as
part of a timing recovery loop with an external processor or can
allow multiple RCFs to work together while using a single RCF
pair. The RCF section of the data sheet should be consulted for
further details.
0xA2: RCF Number of Taps Minus One (N RCF–1)
The number of taps for the RCF filter minus one is written here.
0x91: rCIC2 Interpolation–1 (L rCIC2–1)
0xA3: RCF Coefficient Offset (CO RCF)
This register is used to set the interpolation in the rCIC2 filter.
The value written to this register is the interpolation minus one.
The rCIC2 interpolation can range from 1 to 512 depending
upon the decimation of the rCIC2. There is no timing error
associated with this interpolation. See the rCIC2 section of the
data sheet for further details.
This register is used to specify which section of the 256-word
coefficient memory is used for a filter. It can be used to select
among multiple filters that are loaded into memory and referenced by this pointer. This register is shadowed and the filter
pointer is updated every time a new filter is started. This allows
the Coefficient Offset to be written even while a filter is being
computed with disturbing operation. The next sample that
comes out of the RCF will be with the new filter.
0x92: rCIC2 Scale
The rCIC2 scale register is used to provide attenuation to compensate for the gain of the rCIC2 and to adjust the linearization
of the data from the floating-point input. The use of this scale
register is influenced by both the rCIC2 growth and floatingpoint input port considerations. The rCIC2 section should be
consulted for details. The rCIC2 scalar has been combined with
the Exponent Offset and will need to be handled appropriately
in both the Input Port and rCIC2 sections.
Bit 11 determines the polarity of the exponent. Normally, this
bit will be cleared unless an ADC such as the AD6600 is used,
in which case, this bit will be set.
Bit 10 determines the weight of the exponent word associated
with the input port. When this bit is low, each exponent step is
considered to be worth 6.02 dB. When this bit is high, each
exponent step is considered to be worth 12.02 dB.
Bits 9–5 are the actual scale values used when the Level Indicator, LI pin associated with this channel is active.
REV. B
0xA4: RCF Control Register
The RCF Control Register is an 11-bit register that controls
general features of the RCF as well as output formatting. The
bits of this register and their functions are described below.
Bit 10 bypasses the RCF filter and sends the CIC5 output data
to the BIST-I and BIST-Q registers. The 16 MSBs of the CIC5
data can be accessed from this register if Bit 9 of the Serial
Control Register at channel address 0xA9 is set.
Bit 9 of this register controls the source of the input data to the
RCF. If this bit is 0, the RCF processes the output data of its
own channel. If this bit is 1, it processes the data from the CIC5
of another channel. The CIC5 that the RCF is connected to
when this bit is 1 is shown in Table IX. This can be used to
allow multiple RCFs to be used together to process wider
bandwidth channels. See the Multiprocessing section of the data
sheet for further details.

0xA7: BIST Control Register
Bit 8 is used as an extra address to allow a second block of 128
words of CMEM to be addressed by the channel addresses at
0x00–0x7F. If this bit is 0, the first 128 words are written and if
this bit is 1, a second 128 words is written. This bit is only used
to program the Coefficient Memory. It is not used in any way by
the processing and filters longer than 128 taps can be performed.
Bit 7 is used to help control the output formatting of the AD6624’s
RCF data. This bit is only used when the 8 + 4 or 12 + 4 floatingpoint modes are chosen. These modes are enabled by Bits 5 and
4 of this register below. When this bit is 0, the I and Q output
exponents are determined separately based on their individual
magnitudes. When this bit is 1, the I and Q data is a complex
floating-point number where I and Q use a single exponent that
is determined based on the maximum magnitude of I or Q.
Bit 6 is used to force the Output Scale Factor in Bits 3–0 of this
register to be used to scale the data even when one of the Floating Point Output modes is used. If the number is too large to
represent with the Output Scale chosen, the mantissas of the I
and Q data clip and do not overflow.

0xA8: RAM BIST Control Register
This register is used to test the memories of the AD6624 should
they ever be suspected of a failure. Bit 0 of this register is written
with a one when the channel is in SLEEP and the user waits for
1600 CLKs and then polls the bits. If Bit 1 is high, the CMEM
failed the test; if Bit 2 is high, the data memory used by the
RCF failed the test.
0xA9: Serial Port Control Register
This register controls the serial port of the AD6624 and, along
with the RCF control register, it helps to determine the output format.
Bit 9 of this register allows the RCF or CIC5 data to be mapped
to the BIST registers at addresses 0xA5 and 0xA6. When this
bit is 0, the BIST register is in signature mode and ready for a
self-test to be run. When this bit is 1, the output data from
the RCF after formatting or the CIC5 data is mapped to these
registers and can be read through the microport. In addition,
when this bit is high, the DR pin for the channel delivers a
1 CLK cycle wide pulse that can be used to synchronize the
host processor with the AD6624. This signal is a 1 SCLK cycle
wide pulse when this bit is 0.
Bits 5 and 4 choose the output formatting option used by the
RCF data. The options are defined in Table X and are discussed further in the Output Format section of the data sheet.
Bit Values
This register controls the number of outputs of the RCF or CIC
filter that are observed when a BIST test is performed. The BIST
signature registers at addresses 0xA5 and 0xA6 will observe this
number of outputs and then terminate. The loading of these
registers also starts the BIST engine running. Details of how to
utilize the BIST circuitry are defined in the BIST section of the
data sheet.
Bits 8 and 7 control the output format of the SDFS pulse.
When these bits are 00, there is a single SCLK cycle wide pulse
for the I and Q data. When these bits are 01, the SDFS signal is
high for all of the bits shifted during the serial frame. When
these bits are 10 or 11, there are two SDFS pulses that are each
1 SCLK cycle wide. One pulse precedes the I word of data and
the second precedes the Q word of data. When a serial port is
configured as a serial slave, it should be in the first mode with
these bits set to 00.
Bits 3–0 of this register represent the Output Scale Factor of the
RCF. They are used to scale the data when the output format is
in fixed-point mode or when the Force Exponent bit is high.
0xA5: BIST Register for I
This register serves two purposes. The first is to allow the complete functionality of the I data path in the channel to be tested
in the system. The BIST section of the data sheet should be
consulted for further details. The second function is to provide
access to the I output data through the microport. To accomplish this, the Map RCF data to BIST bit in the Serial Port
Control register, 0xA9, should be set high. Sixteen-bits of I data
can then be read through the microport in either the 8 + 4, 12 + 4,
12-bit linear or 16-bit linear output modes. This data may come
from either the formatted RCF output or the CIC5 output.
0xA6: BIST Register for Q
This register serves two purposes. The first is to allow the complete functionality of Q data path in the channel to be tested in
the system. The BIST section of the data sheet should be consulted for further details. The second function is to provide access
to the Q output data through the microport. To accomplish this,
the Map RCF data to BIST bit in the Serial Port Control register, 0xA9, should be set high. Sixteen bits of Q data can then be
Bits 6 and 5 determine the serial word length used by the serial
port. If these bits are 00, the serial ports use 12-bit words and
shift 12 bits of I followed by 12 bits of Q with each shifted MSB
first. If these bits are 01, the serial ports use 16-bit words and
shift 16 bits of I followed by 16 bits of Q with each shifted MSB
first. If these bits are 1x, the serial ports use 24-bit words and
shift 24 bits of I followed by 24 bits of Q with each shifted MSB
first. When the fixed point output option is chosen from the
RCF control register, these bits also set the rounding correctly
in the output formatter of the RCF.
Bit 4 of this register controls whether the Serial Port is a master
or slave. This register powers up low so that the serial port is a
slave in order to avoid contention problems on the output drivers. The serial port for channel 0 does not use this bit. The
master/slave status of Serial Port 0 is set by the SBM0 pin.
Bits 3–0 control the rate of the SCLK signal when the channel is
master. This four-bit bus can set the SCLK as a division of the
master CLK from 1 to 16 with approximately a 50% duty cycle.
–32–
REV. B
AD6624
The SCLK can be generated and run up to a maximum of
80 MHz. The serial division bits from this register are not
used for serial port 0. The external SDIV [3:0] pins are used
to determine this for Serial Port 0.

MICROPORT CONTROL
The AD6624 has an 8-bit microprocessor port and four serial
input ports. The use of each of these ports is described separately below. The interaction of the ports is then described. The
microport interface is a multimode interface that is designed to
give flexibility when dealing with the host processor. There are
two modes of bus operation: Intel nonmultiplexed mode (INM),
and Motorola nonmultiplexed mode (MNM). The mode is
selected based on host processor and which mode is best suited
to that processor. The microport has an 8-bit data bus (D[7:0]),
3-bit address bus (A[2:0]), three control pins lines (CS, DS or
RD, RW or WR), and one status pin (DTACK or RDY). The
functionality of the control signals and status line changes
slightly, depending upon the mode that is chosen. Refer to
the timing diagrams and the following descriptions for details
on the operation of both modes.

External Memory Map
The External Memory Map is used to gain access to the Channel
Address Space described previously. The 8-bit data and address
registers referenced by the external interface registers can be seen
in Table XI. (These registers are collectively referred to as the
External Interface Registers since they control all accesses to the
Channel Address space as well as global chip functions.) The use
of each of these individual registers is described below in detail.
It should be noted that the Serial Control interface to Channel 0 has the same memory map as the microport interface
and can carry out exactly the same functions, although at a
slower rate.

Data Register 2 (DR2)
Bit 7 of this register is the autoincrement bit. If this bit is a 1,
the CAR register described below will increment its value after
every access to the channel. This allows blocks of address space
such as Coefficient Memory to be initialized more efficiently.

Data Register 1 (DR1)
Data Register 0 (DR0)
Bit 6 of the register is the broadcast bit and determines how
Bits 5–2 are interpreted. If broadcast is 0, Bits 5–2, which are
referred to as instruction bits (Instruction [3:0]), are compared
with the CHIP_ID [3:0] pins. The instruction that matches the
CHIP_ID [3:0] pins will determine the access. This allows up to
16 chips to be connected to the same port and memory mapped
without external logic. This also allows the same serial port of a
host processor to configure up to 16 chips. If the broadcast bit is
high, the Instruction [3:0] word allows multiple AD6624 channels and/or chips to be configured simultaneously, independent
of the CHIP_ID[3:0] pins. Ten possible instructions are defined
in Table XII. This is useful for smart antenna systems where
multiple channels listening to a single antenna or carrier can be
simultaneously configured. The x(s) in the table represent “don’t
cares” in the digital decoding.

External Memory Map
When broadcast is enabled (Bit 6 set high), readback is not valid
because of the potential for internal bus contention. Therefore,
if readback is subsequently desired, the broadcast bit should
be set low.
Bits 1–0 of this register are address bits that decode which of the
four channels are being accessed. If the Instruction bits decode
an access to multiple channels, these bits are ignored. If the
Instruction decodes an access to a subset of chips, the A[9:8] bits
will otherwise determine the channel being accessed.
Channel Address Register (CAR)
This register represents the 8-bit internal address of each channel.
If the autoincrement bit of the ACR is 1, this value will be incremented after every access to the DR0 register, which will in
turn access the location pointed to by this address. The Channel
Address register cannot be read back while the broadcast bit
is set high.
SOFT_SYNC Control Register
External Address [5] is the SOFT_SYNC control register and is
write only.
Bits 0–3 of this register are the SOFT_SYNC control bits. These
pins may be written to by the controller to initiate the synchronization of a selected channel. Although there are four inputs,
these do not necessarily go to the channel of the same number.
This is fully configurable at the channel level as to which bit to
look at. All four channels may be configured to synchronize from a
single position, or they may be paired or all independent.
Bit 4 determines if the synchronization is to apply to a chip
start. If this bit is set, a chip start will be initiated.
Bit 5 determines if the synchronization is to apply to a chip hop.
If this bit is set, the NCO frequency will be updated when the
SOFT_SYNC occurs.
Bit 6 configures how the internal databus is configured. If this
bit is set low, the internal ADC databuses are configured normally. If this bit is set, the internal test signals are selected. The
internal test signals are configured in Bit 7 of this register.
Bit 7 if set clear, a negative full-scale signal is generated and
made available to the internal databus. If this bit is high, internal pseudo-random sequence generator is enabled and this data
is available to the internal databus. The combined functions of

Bits 6 and 7 facilitate verification of a given filter design and in
conjunction with the MISR registers, allow for detailed in-system
chip testing. In conjunction with the JTAG test board, very high
levels of chip verification can be done during system test, in both
the factory and field.
PIN_SYNC Control Register
External Address [4] is the PIN_SYNC control register and is
write only.
Bits 0–3 of this register are the SYNC_EN control bits. These
pins may be written to by the controller to allow pin synchronization of a selected channel. Although there are four inputs,
these do not necessarily go to the channel of the same number.
This is fully configurable at the channel level as to which bit to
look at. All four channels may be configured to synchronize
from a single position, or they may be paired or all independent.
Bit 4 determines if the synchronization is to apply to a
chip start. If this bit is set, a chip start will be initiated
PIN_SYNC occurs.
Bit 5 determines if the synchronization is to apply to a chip hop.
If this bit is set, the NCO Frequency will be updated when the
PIN_SYNC occurs.
Bit 6 is used to ignore repetitive synchronization signals. In
some applications, this signal may occur periodically. If this bit
is clear, each PIN_SYNC will restart/hop the channel. If this bit
is set, only the first occurrence will cause the chip to take action.
Bit 7 is used with Bits 6 and 7 of external address 5. When this
bit is cleared, the data supplied to the internal databus simulates
a normal ADC. When this bit is set, the data supplied is in the
form of a time-multiplexed ADC such as the AD6600 (this
allows the equivalent of testing in the 4-channel input mode).
Internally, when set, this bit forces the IEN pin to toggle as if it
were driven by the A/B signal of the AD6600.
SLEEP Control Register
External Address [3] is the sleep register.
Bits 3–0 control the state of each of the channels. Each bit corresponds to one of the possible RSP channels within the device. If
this bit is cleared, the channel operates normally. However,
when this bit is set, the indicated channel enters a low-power
sleep mode.

AD6624
Bit 4 causes the normal RSP data on serial channel 0 to be
replaced with read access data. This allows reading the internal
registers over the serial bus. It should be noted that in the mode,
any RSP data will be superceded by internal access data.
Bit 5 allows access to the Input Control Port Registers at channel
addresses 00-07. When this bit is set low, the normal memory
map is accessed. However, when this bit is set, it allows access
to the Input Port Control Registers. Access to these registers
allows the lower and upper thresholds to be set along with dwell
time and other features. When this bit is set, the value in external address 6 (CAR) points to the memory map for the Input
Port Control Registers instead of the normal memory map. See
Input Port Control Registers below.
Bits 6–7 are reserved and should be set low.
Data Address Registers
External Address [2-0] form the data registers DR2, DR1, and
DR0 respectively. All internal data words have widths that are less
than or equal to 20 bits. Accesses to External Address [0] DR0
trigger an internal access to the AD6624 based on the address
indicated in the ACR and CAR. Thus during writes to the internal registers, External Address [0] DR0 must be written last. At
this point, data is transferred to the internal memory indicated in A[9:0]. Reads are performed in the opposite direction.
Once the address is set, External Address [0] DR0 must be the
first data register read to initiate an internal access. DR2 is only
four bits wide. Data written to the upper four bits of this register
will be ignored. Likewise reading from this register will produce
only four LSBs.
Write Sequencing
Writing to an internal location is achieved by first writing the
upper two bits of the address to Bits 1 through 0 of the ACR.
Bits 7:2 may be set to select the channel as indicated above. The
CAR is then written with the lower eight bits of the internal
address (it does not matter if the CAR is written before the
ACR as long as both are written before the internal access).
Data Register 2, (DR2) and Data Register 1 (DR1) must be
written first because the write to Data Register DR0 triggers the
internal access. Data Register DR0 must always be the last
register written to initiate the internal write.
Read Sequencing
Reading from the microport is accomplished in the same manner.
The internal address is set up the same way as the write. A read
from Data Register DR0 activates the internal read, thus register
DR0 must always be read first to initiate an internal read followed by DR1 and DR2. This provides the eight LSBs of the
internal read through the microport (D[7:0]). Additional data
registers can be read to read the balance of the internal memory.
Read/Write Chaining
The microport of the AD6624 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 WR or RD line and
changing the contents of the external 3-bit address bus. External access to the external registers of Table II is accomplished in
one of two modes using the CS, RD, WR, and MODE 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).
CS, RD, and WR control the access type for each mode.
REV. B
Intel Nonmultiplexed Mode (INM)
MODE must be tied low to operate the AD6624 microprocessor
in INM mode. The access type is controlled by the user with
the CS, RD (DS), and WR (RW) inputs. The RDY (DTACK)
signal is produced by the microport to communicate to the user
that an access has been completed. RDY (DTACK) 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 AD6624 microprocessor
in MNM mode. The access type is controlled by the user with
the CS, DS (RD), and RW(WR) inputs. The DTACK (RDY)
signal is produced by the microport to communicate to the user
that an access has been completed. DTACK (RDY) goes low
when an internal access is complete and then will return high
after DS (RD) is deasserted. See the timing diagrams for both
the read and write modes in the specifications.
Input Port Control Registers
The Input Port control register enables various input-related
features used primarily for input detection and level control.
Depending on the mode of operation, up to four different signal
paths can be monitored with these registers. These features are
accessed by setting Bit 5 of external address 3 (Sleep Register)
and then using the CAR (external address 6) to address the
eight available locations.
Response to these settings is directed to the LIA-A, LIA-B,
LIB-A and LIB-B pins.
Address 00 is the lower threshold for Input Channel A. This
word is 10 bits wide and maps to the 10 most significant bits
of the mantissa. If the upper 10 bits are less than or equal to this
value, the lower threshold has been met. In normal chip operation,
this starts the dwell time counter. If the input signal increases
above this value, the counter is reloaded and awaits the input to
drop back to this level.
Address 01 is the upper threshold for Input Channel A. This
word is 10 bits wide and maps to the 10 most significant bits of
the mantissa. If the upper 10 bits are greater than or equal to
this value, the upper threshold has been met. In normal chip
operation, this will cause the appropriate LI pin (LIA–A or
LIA–B) to become active.
Address 02 is the dwell time for Input Channel A. This sets the
time that the input signal must be at or below the lower threshold before the LI pin is deactivated. For the input level detector
to work, the dwell time must be set to at least one. If set to zero,
the LI functions are disabled.
Address 02 has a 20-bit register. When the lower threshold is
met following an excursion into the upper threshold, the dwell
time counter is loaded and begins to count high-speed clock
cycles as long as the input is at or below the lower threshold. If
the signal increases above the lower threshold, the counter is
reloaded and waits for the signal to fall below the lower threshold again.
Address 03 configures Input Channel A.
Bit 4 determines the polarity of LIA-A and LIA-B. If this bit is
cleared, the LI signal is high when the upper threshold has been
exceeded. However, if this bit is set, the LI pin is low when active.
This allows maximum flexibility when using this function.

Bit 3 determines if the input consists of a single channel or
TDM channels such as when using the AD6600. If this bit is
cleared, a single ADC is assumed. In this mode, LIA–A functions
as the active output indicator. LIA–B provides the complement of
LIA–A. However, if this bit is set, the input is determined to be
dual channel and determined by the state of the IENA pin. If
the IENA pin is low, the input detection is directed to LIA–A.
If the IENA pin is high, the input is directed to LIA–B. In
either case, Bit 4 determines the actual polarity of these signals.
The shifting order begins with FRAME and shifts the address
MSB first and then the data MSB first.
JTAG BOUNDARY SCAN
The AD6624 supports a subset of IEEE Standard 1149.1 specifications. For additional details of the standard, please see “IEEE
Standard Test Access Port and Boundary-Scan Architecture,”
IEEE-1149 publication from IEEE.
Bits 2–0 determine the internal latency of the gain detect function. When the LIA–A, B pins are made active, they are typically
used to change an attenuator or gain stage. Since this is prior to
the ADC, there is a latency associated with the ADC and with the
settling of the gain change. This register allows the internal delay
of the LIA–A, B signal to be programmed.
Addresses 4–7 duplicate address 00–03 for Input Port B
(INB[13:0]).
SERIAL PORT CONTROL
The AD6624 will have four serial ports serving as primary data
output interfaces. In addition to output data, these ports will
provide control paths to the internal functions of the AD6624.
Serial Port 0 (SDIN0) can access all of the internal registers for
all of the channels while Ports 1, 2, and 3 (SDIN1–3) are limited
to their local registers only. In this manner, a single DSP could
be used to control the AD6624 over the Serial Port 0 interface.
The option is present to use a DSP per channel if needed. In
addition to the global access of Serial Port 0, it has preemptive
access over the other serial ports and the microport.
The AD6624 has five pins associated with the JTAG interface.
These pins are used to access the on-chip Test Access Port and
are listed in the table below. All input JTAG pins are pull-up,
except for TCLK which has a pull-down.

The AD6624 supports the op codes as shown below. These
instructions set the mode of the JTAG interface.
Table XV. Boundary Scan Op Codes
The Serial Output and Input functions use mainly separate
hardware and can largely be considered separate ports that
use a common Serial Clock (SCLK). The Serial Input Port is selfframing as described below and allows more efficient use of the
Serial Input Bandwidth for Programming. Hence, the state of
the SDFS signal has no direct impact on the Serial Input Port.
Since the Serial Input Port is self-framing, it is not necessary to
wait for an SDFS to perform a serial write. The beginning of a
Serial Input Frame is signaled by a FRAME bit that appears on
the SDI pin. This is the MSB of the Serial Input Frame. After
the FRAME bit has been sampled high on the falling edge of
SCLK, a State Counter will start and enable an 11-bit Serial
Shifter four serial clock cycles later. These four SCLK cycles
represent the “don’t care” bits of the Serial Frame that are
ignored. After all of the bits are shifted, the Serial Input Port will
pass along the 8-bit data and 3-bit address to the arbitration block.
The Serial Word Structure for the SDI input is illustrated in the
table below. Only 15 bits are listed so that the second bit in a
standard 16-bit serial word is considered the FRAME bit. This
is done for compatibility with the AD6620 Serial Input Port.

EXTEST (3’b000) Places the IC into an external boundary-test
mode and selects the boundary-scan register to be connected
between TDI and TDO. During this, the boundary-scan register is accessed to drive test data off-chip via boundary outputs
and receive test data off-chip from boundary inputs.
// write CAR
write_micro(6, 0x03);
IDCODE (3’b001) Allows the IC to remain in its functional
mode and selects device ID register to be connected between
TDI and TDO. Accessing the ID register does not interfere
with the operation of the IC.
// write DR0 with D[7:0]
// On this write all data is transferred to the internal address
d0 = NCO_FREQ & 0xFF;
write_micro(0, d0);
SAMPLE/PRELOAD (3’b010) Allows the IC to remain in
normal functional mode and selects the boundary-scan register
to be connected between TDI and TDO. The boundary-scan
register can be accessed by a scan operation to take a sample of
the functional data entering and leaving the IC. Also, test
data can be preloaded into the boundary scan register before
an EXTEST instruction.
} // end of main
HIGHZ (3’b011) Sets all outputs to high impedance state.
Selects the 1-bit bypass register to be connected between
TDI and TDO.
CLAMP (3’b100) Sets the outputs of the IC to logic levels
determined by the boundary-scan register and selects the 1-bit
bypass register to be connected between TDI and TDO. Before
this instruction, boundary-scan data can be preloaded with
the SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction.
BYPASS (3’b111) Allows the IC to remain in normal functional
mode and selects 1-bit bypass register between TDI and TDO.
During this instruction, serial data is transferred from TDI to
TDO without affecting operation of the IC.
INTERNAL WRITE ACCESS
Up to 20 bits of data (as needed) can be written by the process
described below. Any high order bytes that are needed are written to the corresponding data registers defined in the external
3-bit address space. The least significant byte is then written to
DR0 at address (000). When a write to DR0 is detected, the
internal microprocessor port state machine then moves the data
in DR2-DR0 to the internal address pointed to by the address in
the LAR and AMR.
Write Pseudocode
void write_micro(ext_address, int data);
main();
{
/* This code shows the programming of the NCO phase offset
register using the write_micro function as defined above. The
variable address is the External Address A[2:0] and data is the
value to be placed in the external interface register.
Internal Address = 0x087
*/
// holding registers for NCO phase byte wide access data
int d1, d0;
// NCO frequency word (16-bits wide)
NCO_PHASE = 0xCBEF;
// write DR1 with D[15:8]
d1 = (NCO_PHASE & 0xFF00) >> 8;
write_micro(1, d1);
INTERNAL READ ACCESS
A read is performed by first writing the CAR and AMR as with a
write. The data registers (DR2–DR0) are then read in the reverse
order that they were written. First, the least significant byte of
the data (D[7:0]) is read from DR0. On this transaction, the
high bytes of the data are moved from the internal address
pointed to by the CAR and AMR into the remaining data registers (DR2–DR1). This data can then be read from the data
registers using the appropriate 3-bit addresses. The number of
data registers used depends solely on the amount of data to be
read or written. Any unused bit in a data register should be
masked out for a read.
Read Pseudocode
int read_micro(ext_address);
main();
{
/* This code shows the reading of the first RCF coefficient using
the read_micro function as defined above. The variable address
is the External Address A[2..0].

// read D[23:16] from DR2
d2 = read_micro(2) & 0x0F;
