Output Spectrum of AD6140 PRODUCT OVERVIEW OLE The AD6140 is a bandpass Σ∆ analog-to-digital converter IF IC for dual conversion receivers requiring a high dynamic range and multiple filter bandwidths. It consists of a variable gain, low noise preamplifier, mixer, automatic gain control (AGC) detector, bandpass Σ∆ modulator, an ECL to CMOS level translator and an auxiliary amplifier for use in biasing a discrete LNA. A Σ∆ modulator uses feedback around a low noise quantizer (1 bit in this case) in order to “shape” the spectrum of quantization noise. Using this technique, we can shape noise away from an arbitrary passband, within which we can place a modulated signal. A Σ∆ modulator reproduces the input, but adds quantization noise, which can be digitally removed with a filter, known as a decimation filter. Applying this technique to bandpass signals results in an analog-to-digital converter suitable for converting the IF signals in a digital radio. TE The low noise preamplifier accepts a first IF input at 49.6 MHz from 16.4 µV p-p to 63.2 mV p-p. It provides a variable gain from 12 dB to 25 dB. The output of the AD6140’s Σ∆ modulator is shown in Figure 9. As can be seen, the noise is shaped away from a narrow bandwidth, within which we place a signal (a sine wave in this case) resulting in a narrowband, high dynamic range digital representation of the analog input. LO_IN+ The mixer accepts an LO frequency of 49.792 MHz or 49.408 MHz, resulting in an IF frequency of 192 kHz. The LO level should be 200 mV p-p differential. It is ac-coupled to the AD6140. The mixer operates in the linear region, hence the gain of the mixer is a function of the LO level. As a result, special care must be taken to ensure that the LO level is 200 mV p-p, LO_IN– MIXER POST AMPLIFIER PREAMPLIFIER D MODULATOR IF_INPUT MIXER LNA_SENSE LNA_FORCE AGC_CAPACITOR 0.1mF AD6140 LNA BIAS AMPLIFIER ECL-TO-CMOS LEVEL-SHIFTER AGC DETECTOR CIRCUIT D_DATA_OUT D_CLOCK_OUT BUFFER_VDD CLK_IN+ CLK_IN– BUFFER_GND BIAS SYSTEM VOLTAGE_REFERENCE_IN AGC_TC_SELECT RINT AVDD AGND DGND DVDD POWER_DOWN BIAS_RESISTOR 39kV Figure 8. Functional Block Diagram –6– REV. 0 AD6140 FREQUENCY PLAN otherwise, the expected gain will not be obtained from the AD6140. In addition to the mixer, there is a mixer postamplifier within the AD6140. The total gain from the mixer and mixer post-amplifier is 5 dB. The AD6140 and its Σ∆ modulator are designed for a specific frequency plan: a 6.144 MHz master clock, a 49.6 MHz first IF input, and a 192 kHz center frequency in the bandpass Σ∆ modulator. The local oscillator may use high-side or low-side injection. The specifications for the AD6140 are only valid for this frequency plan. Any deviation from this frequency plan may result in degradation of the specified performance. Furthermore, there are only specific frequency plans which will result in acceptable performance for most applications. To avoid problems, do not change the frequency plan. The Σ∆ modulator uses a 6.144 MHz clock, which is a differential ECL input. There is an ECL-to-CMOS converter on the AD6140, which converts this differential ECL input into a single-ended CMOS signal. This 6.144 MHz single-ended CMOS clock is provided at Pin 7 (Σ∆_CLOCK_OUT). The output data of the AD6140 is a 6.144 MHz single bitstream at Pin 6 (Σ∆_DATA_OUT). The signal gain through the Σ∆ modulator is –0.77 dB. USING THE AD6140 Within the Σ∆ modulator, the data output digital bitstream is fed through a 1-bit D/A converter and is fed back to numerous internal points. The level of this feedback signal, known as the full-scale level, defines the Σ∆ modulator input signal level, which would result in the output digital bitstream containing the maximum number of ones possible. This condition, known as maximum ones density, represents the maximum in-band output signal power of the Σ∆ modulator. The full-scale level is set to 2 V p-p or –4.77 dBm (relative to 1500 Ω). However, if a signal into the modulator is –4.77 dBm, the modulator will enter an unstable state. Consequently, the maximum input to the modulator is constrained to 5 dB less than the signal, which would produce maximum ones density. This level, defined as the clip level, is –9.77 dBm (relative to 1500 Ω). In this section, we will examine a few areas of special importance and include a few general applications tips. As is true of any device operating in the IF frequency range, special care must be taken in PC board layout. The location of the particular grounding points must be considered, with the objective of minimizing any unwanted signal coupling. Specifically, care should be taken in the layout of the IF and LO signal paths as well as the data and clock digital bit-streams. Layout of these portions of the PC board require special attention in order to ensure that the high frequency portions of these signals do not couple into other signals in the system. In order to maintain balance in differential signal levels, be sure to keep short and equal length transmission lines. OBS OLE TE The power supplies should be decoupled to ensure a clean dc signal. Special care should be taken with respect to ensuring that the BUFFER_VDD is especially clean and at the appropriate levels since the output in-band noise floor is particularly sensitive to this supply. The maximum signal into the modulator does not correspond to maximum ones density. The entire dynamic range of the resulting analog to digital converter (Σ∆ modulator plus decimation filter) is not realized. In order to relate the maximum signal into the modulator to the maximum signal out of the modulator, a gain of 5 dB should be applied in the decimation filter. The IF input signal should be impedance matched and ac coupled. The impedance looking into the IF input pin is typically a 2.5 kΩ resistance in parallel with a 12 pF capacitance. The 1 V reference signal should be regulated and filtered. As can be seen in Figure 5, the output signal to noise ratio will increase until a point at which it rapidly degrades. This point represents the input signal level where the Σ∆ modulator has become unstable. As a result, the maximum input signal level is constrained by the point at which it is so high that instability occurs in the modulator. Dynamic range is defined as the difference between the integrated noise floor (within a particular bandwidth) and the power in the output signal just before the Σ∆ modulator has become unstable. For a typical 6.25 kHz bandwidth centered around 192 kHz, the AD6140 has 83 dB of dynamic range. The value of the BIAS_RESISTOR (Pin 16) is 39 kΩ. The bias resistor sets the current consumption of the AD6140. Because the AD6140 was characterized with a 39 kΩ bias resistor, this is the only value for which the AD6140 specifications are guaranteed. Maximum current consumption is measured when the AD6140 is operating at maximum gain. The AGC integration capacitor should be large enough to bypass any externally-generated noise on the internal AGC line to ground in addition to providing a path for the charging and discharging of the AGC current. In the Motorola ReFLEX chipset solution, this capacitor is 0.1 µF. The AGC time constant is switch-selectable with the AGC_TC_SELECT pin (Pin 10). The AGC time constant has a typical current ratio of 56:1 when in the fast mode relative to slow mode. The nominal AGC current in the fast (high current) position is 2.8 µA and in the slow (low current) position is 50 nA. The AGC time constant may be calculated from Equation 1. In order to increase the range of useful input signals of the AD6140, an AGC detector is employed which senses the input signal level to the Σ∆ modulator and adjusts the gain in the preamplifier. The AGC circuitry provides 13 dB of automatic gain control range. The AGC operates when the internal AGC voltage is between 700 mV (minimum gain) and 1.55 V (maximum gain). This voltage can be measured on the AGC_CAPACITOR pin (Pin 13). The AD6140 can be configured with the chip powered up or down. In order to power the chip down, set pin POWER_DOWN (Pin 9) high. In order to power it up, set pin POWER_DOWN (Pin 9) low. T= (1) where T is the AGC time constant in seconds, C is the value of the AGC capacitor in Farads, V is the full-scale change in the AGC voltage, and I is the charging current in amperes. Finally, an auxiliary amplifier used for biasing an external discrete LNA is provided with the AD6140.

Figure 11 shows a block diagram of the Motorola ReFLEX chipset solution including the AD6140. As can be seen, the AD6140 accepts an IF input from a crystal filter at 49.6 MHz. The frequency synthesizer provides the 6.144 MHz clock, while the LO is also generated from the frequency synthesizer but is fed to the AD6140 via the I/Q modulator. The IF data output and the clock output both feed into the IF data processor. The LNA bias amplifier provides the AGC voltage for the first LNA in the receive path. The dc power is supplied from the power management chip.
