AD9874
The signal transfer function of the AD9874 possesses inherent
antialias filtering by virtue of the continuous-time portions of the
loop filter in the band-pass - modulator. Figure 13b illustrates
this property by plotting the nominal signal transfer function of the
ADC for frequencies up to 2f
for all frequencies that alias to the f
visible. Even at the widest bandwidth setting, the notches are deep
enough to provide greater than 80 dB of alias protection. Thus,
the wideband IF filtering requirements preceding the AD9874
will be mostly determined by the mixer’s image band that is offset
from the desired IF input frequency by f
rather than any aliasing associated with the ADC.
Figure 13c shows the nominal signal transfer function magnitude
for frequencies near the f

lowest oversampling ratio (48) where the pass band edges are at
Note, the amount of attenuation offered by the signal transfer
function near f

Tuning of the - modulator’s two continuous-time resonators
is essential in realizing the ADC’s full dynamic range and must
be performed upon system startup. To facilitate tuning of the
LC tank, a capacitor array is internally connected to the MXOP
and MXON pins. The capacitance of this array is programmable
from 0 pF to 200 pF ± 20% and can be programmed either
automatically or manually via the SPI port. The capacitors of
the active RC resonator are similarly programmable. Note, the
AD9874 can be placed in and out of its standby mode without
retuning since the tuning codes are stored in the SPI Registers.
When tuning the LC tank, the sampling clock frequency must
be stable and the LNA/mixer, LO synthesizer, and ADC must
all be placed in standby. Tuning is triggered when the ADC is
taken out of standby if the TUNE_LC bit of register 0x1C has
been set. This bit will clear when the tuning operation is complete
(less than 6 ms). The tuning codes can be read from the 3-bit
CAPL1 (0x1D) and the 6-bit CAPL0 (0x1E) Registers.
In a similar manner, tuning of the RC resonator is activated if
the TUNE_RC bit of register 0x1C is set when the ADC is taken
out of standby. This bit will clear when tuning is complete. The
tuning code can be read from the CAPR (0x1F) Register. Setting
both the TUNE_LC and TUNE_RC bits tunes the LC tank and
the active RC resonator in succession. During tuning, the ADC
is not operational and neither data nor a clock is available from
the SSI port. Table X lists the recommended sequence of the
SPI commands for tuning the ADC, while Table XI lists all of
the SPI Registers associated with band-pass - ADC.
