DESCRIPTION
The GC533x is a wideband transmit and receive
signal processor that includes digital downconverter /
upconverter (DDUC), transmit, receive, and capture
buffer blocks. The transmit path includes crest factor
reduction (CFR), digital predistortion (DPD) and
associated feedback path, complex equalization, and
bulk upconversion.
The receive path includes wideband and narrowband
automatic gain control (AGC), bulk downconversion,
complex equalization, and I/Q imbalance correction.
The DDUC section consists of four identical DDUC
blocks, each supporting up to 12 channels. Each
channel has independent fractional resamplers and
NCOs to enable flexible carrier configurations.
Multi-mode/multi-standard
operation
can
be
supported by configuring the individual DDUC blocks
to different filtering and oversampling scenarios.

These devices have limited built-in ESD protection. The leads should be shorted together or the device placed in conductive foam
during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the MOS gates.
DESCRIPTION (Continued)
The CFR block reduces the peak-to-average ratio (PAR) of the digital transmit signals, such as those used in
third-generation (3G) code division multiple access (CDMA) and orthogonal frequency-division multiple-access
(OFDMA) applications.
The DPD path with a 310-MHz DPD clock can be configured to support one antenna at 62 MHz, two antennas at
62 MHz each, or four antennas at 31 MHz each, all with an associated 5× DPD expansion bandwidth. The
GC533x DPD processor reduces power amplifier (PA) nonlinearity, e.g., as measured by adjacent-channel
leakage ratio (ACLR), by over 20 dB. By reducing the PAR of the digital signal and the PA nonlinearity, the
operational efficiency of follow-on power amplifiers can be substantially improved.
A higher DPD bandwidth is possible with reduced DPD performance. Several architectures that provide
performance and cost optimization are listed in Table 1

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The GC533x is a wideband transmit and receive signal processor that includes digital downconverter/upconverter
(DDUC), transmit, receive, and capture buffer blocks. The transmit path includes crest factor reduction (CFR),
digital predistortion (DPD) and associated feedback path, complex equalization, and bulk upconversion. The
receive path includes wideband and narrowband automatic gain control (AGC), bulk downconversion, complex
equalization, and I/Q imbalance correction. The GC5337 is a higher-speed version of the GC5330 that has the
same package, but with interfaces that can provide more processing performance for higher-bandwidth
applications. In the descriptions, the GC5337 differences are shown with { } values.
The architecture supports different RX, TX, and feedback modes of operation. This provides for many
configurations to optimize performance and cost.
• RX – real or complex input
• TX – real, complex, complex with envelope tracking
• Feedback – subsampled real, full-rate real, full-rate complex

The RX path can be configured for one or two multichannel ADC input ports. The RX block provides each ADC
channel with a front-end AGC, IQ demodulation correction, real-to-complex conversion, complex mixing,
decimation, and complex equalization. The RX block output is input to the DDUC block. The output of the DDUC
block goes through gain and back-end AGC and is formatted for the baseband output.
There are four DDUC blocks. Each can be used for the RX DDC downconversion or TX DUC upconversion, one
at a time. The DDUC has a complex mixer, cascade integrator comb filter, resampler, and a programmable FIR
filter. Each DDUC can support 1 to 12 channels.
The TX path can be configured for one, two, or four antenna streams. In addition, with one or two antenna
streams, an envelope modulator output is available. The DAC and envelope modulator share the same output
ports. The TX input is from the baseband input, through the DDUC to create complex antenna streams. The CFR
block provides for gain adjustment, peak reduction, and peak limiting. The CFR block peak power reduction and
follow-on circular limiter provide the headroom to apply the DPD correction, and to lower the peak power results
for more power amplifier efficiency. Additional interpolation stages after CFR expand the antenna stream
bandwidth to the DPD bandwidth.
The DPD has both high-performance (more correction) and high-bandwidth (more bandwidth) modes. The
high-bandwidth mode supports 62 MHz {74 MHz} for one or two antenna streams, and 31 MHz {37 MHz} for four
antenna streams with fifth-order expansion bandwidth. The high-performance mode supports one antenna at 62
MHz {74 MHz}, two antennae at 31 MHz {37 MHz}, or four antennae at 15.5 MHz {18.5 MHz}. The GC533x DPD
processor provides phase correction, gain correction, and nonlinear feedforward correction for each TX stream.
The spectral emission or ACP performance is improved by 20 dB or more.
Specialized capture logic collects the RX input, feedback input, RX output, DPD input, and DPD output for the
DSP processor to perform the adaption algorithm. The capture logic can also be used for performance
monitoring and power measurement.

GC533x Introduction
The GC533x is a flexible transmit and receive digital signal processor that includes receiver and transmitter
blocks, digital downconverter / upconverter (DDUC) blocks, crest factor reduction (CFR) and digital predistortion
(DPD) engines, flexible LVDS data converter and baseband interfaces, and capture buffers for DPD and adaptive
filtering algorithms.
Each of the four DDUC blocks can be configured as either a digital downconverter (DDC) or a digital upconverter
(DUC). Typically, a system can be implemented as both TX and RX, with both DDC and DUC functions. The
DDUC blocks provide programmable FIR filters with flexible numbers of taps, depending on signal bandwidth and
number of channels, as well as fractional resamplers, CIC filters, and complex mixers. The DDUC complex
mixers support static or hopping tuning functions.
beAGC after the DDC is part of the baseband interface. Static gain is applied in the BB block for both the DDC
output and DUC input.
The receiver block provides dc offset correction, front-end AGC, real-to-complex conversion, complex mixing,
decimating filters, a complex equalizer, and a blind RX IQ imbalance correction function.
The CFR block reduces the peak-to-average ratio (PAR) of complex, arbitrary TX signals. Reducing the PAR of
the TX signal allows wireless-infrastructure (WI) base stations and repeaters to use smaller and lower-cost
multi-carrier power amplifiers (MCPAs).
The DPD block can process one or two TX streams at 62 MHz {74 MHz} or four TX streams at 31 MHz {37 MHz}
each, with fifth-order nonlinear correction. The DPD engine uses a companion TI DSP TMS320C6748 to collect
the reference and feedback data, calculate the feedforward correction, and update the GC533x registers.

In WI applications, the GC533x meets multi-carrier 3G and 4G performance standards (PCDE, composite EVM,
and ACLR) at PAR levels down to 6 dB for WCDMA and 7 dB for LTE, and improves the ACLR by over 20 dB at
the PA output. The GC533x integrates easily into the transmit/receive signal chain between Texas Instruments’
high-performance data converters and baseband processors such as the TI TMS320C64xx family. In wireless
repeater applications, the GC533x can provide seamless interfaces to TI data converters, along with receive and
transmit filtering, DDC, and DUC functions.
The GC533x is extremely flexible and can be used in system architectures with different signal types and
TX-by-RX antenna configurations such as 2×2, 2×4, 4×4, and 4×8.
The GC533x EVM system provides an example sector transmit-receive signal chain solution, from the
multi-carrier baseband to the RF antenna.

Production tested hot using checksum at 310 MHz and maximum supplies. Power scales linearly with frequency with a dc consumption
around 350 mA typical, 700 mA worst case.
Chip specifications are production tested to 90°C case temperature. QA tests are performed at 85°C.
Power consumption is a strong function of the configuration. A calculator is available to estimate power for a specific configuration.
Reliability calculations presume junction temperature 105°C or below. Operation above 105°C junction temperature reduces product
lifetime.

The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance under natural convection is obtained in a simulation on a JEDEC-standard, high-K board, as
specified in JESD51-7, in an environment described in JESD51-2a.
The junction-to-case (top) thermal resistance is obtained by simulating a cold plate test on the package top. No specific
JEDEC-standard test exists, but a close description can be found in the ANSI SEMI standard G30-88.
The junction-to-board thermal resistance is obtained by simulating in an environment with a ring cold plate fixture to control the PCB
temperature, as described in JESD51-8.
The junction-to-top characterization parameter, ψJT, estimates the junction temperature of a device in a real system and is extracted
from the simulation data for obtaining θJA, using a procedure described in JESD51-2a (sections 6 and 7).
The junction-to-board characterization parameter, ψJB, estimates the junction temperature of a device in a real system and is extracted

The two GC533x PLLs require a filtered power supply. The supply can be generated by filtering the digital supply
(VDDS1, VSSA1, VDDS2, and VSSA2). A representative filter is shown in Figure 8. The two PLLs should have
separate filters that are located as close as is reasonable to their respective pins (especially the bypass
capacitors). The ferrite beads should be series 50R (similar to Murata P/N: BLM31P500SPT, Description: IND FB
BLM31P500SPT 50R 1206).
Sub-Chip Descriptions
Figure 9 shows the TX functional block diagram, and Figure 10 shows the RX functional block diagram. Note that
each figure shows up to four DUC or DDC blocks in the TX or RX paths, and there are a total of four DDUC
blocks that may be configured as either DUC or DDC each.

TX Baseband Input Formatter
The TX baseband (BB) input-formatter block accepts TX baseband inputs from the FPGA or baseband processor
and formats them for the DUC blocks. There are 12 unidirectional LVDS pairs for the TX input formatter, and
their function depends on the operational mode. There are three operational modes for the TX BB input
formatter: byte mode (B, 8 or 9 bits), nibble mode (N, 4 bits), and serial mode (S, 2 bits) to allow multiple BB
input rates. The GC533x can accept up to three different BB input data rates. Table 2 and Table 3 summarize
each mode and the pin assignments. In Table 3, BBIN[X] is the BBIN differential pair (assumed positive and
negative connections), and BB0, BB1, and BB2 represent three different TX baseband ports at arbitrary rates.

The actual data transfer rate in nibble mode is 2 times higher than the byte mode for the same total throughput. If
two ports are required (e.g., to support two different sample rates), and a lower speed on the interface is desired,
the GC533x can re-use the RX ADC input port A as a baseband TX input bus. RX ADC port A has 15 pairs of
LVDS input pins and supports one set of baseband input data in byte mode. When RX port A is used as a
baseband TX input, it cannot be also used as an RX input port.
The baseband interface supports a full-clock or gated-clock format. These formats are shown in Figure 11
The mapping for the RX port A pins when in BB TX input mode is:
• RXA14: clock
• RXA13: sync
• RXA12–5: BB0_DATA7–0

Figure 11. TX BB Formats
The TX formatter block includes a per-channel TX gain adjust via a 16-bit complex digital word which can be set
to have gain between –∞ and 9 dB.
Digital Down- and Upconverters (DDUCs)
The GC533x has four identical and independent DDUC blocks that can be configured as either DDC or DUC.
Each DDUC can support up to 12 channels with scalable bandwidth.
The only difference between the DUC and DDC configurations is the interpolate (DUC) versus decimate (DDC)
functions and the data path direction as shown in Figure 12. Both DDC and DUC are described in this section.
Note that each DDUC block must be configured statically as a DUC or DDC and cannot switch modes
dynamically in TDD applications.

Figure 12. DUC and DDC Functional Block Diagram
In combination with the follow-on mux and sum block, the DUC block interpolates, filters, mixes each carrier, and
combines multiple channels into one to four wideband, composite TX signal streams. Any input channel can be
mapped to any TX stream in the mux and sum block.
The DDC configuration accepts an RX stream from the distributor block and provides mixing, decimation filtering,
fractional resampling, and filtering to RX channels. The RX block outputs are mapped to the mixer CIC stream
via the distributor block.
Each DDUC block contains a finite impulse response (FIR) filter, a fractional resampler (Farrow filter), a
cascaded integrator-comb (CIC) filter, a complex mixer and NCO for channel placement in the composite stream,
and a programmable frequency hopper (see Figure 12).
The number of taps available in the FIR filter depends on various parameters such as the BBclk rate (derived
from DPDCLK) , input sample rate, interpolate and decimate settings, and number of channels. Different tap
values may be used for each channel (however, that reduces the number of filter taps available).
Note that the input sample rate is the input from the TX BB input formatter for the DUC configuration and the
input from the distributor block for DDC configuration. The number of taps for various wireless standards and
configurations is shown in Table 4.
The Farrow filter supports one real channel or 1–12 complex channels and can be configured for any resampling
ratio from 1 to 1024 with 32-bit resolution. A different delay value for each channel is supported. The Farrow filter
is used to resample different TX BB input sample rates to a common CFR and DPD sample rate, and it provides
95-dB rejection at ±0.25 output fS (sample rate), 83-dB rejection at ±0.375 output fS, and 56-dB rejection at ±0.4
output fS.
The CIC interpolates or decimates by a factor of 1, 2, or 3. If each DDUC must support more than eight carriers,
the CIC must interpolate/decimate by 3. If each DDUC must support between four and eight carriers, the CIC can
interpolate/decimate by 2 or 3. If each DDUC must support fewer than four carriers, the CIC can interpolate by 1,
2, or 3.

The NCO contains a 48-bit frequency word and 48-bit accumulator, and operates at the DUC output sample rate.
The minimum resolution is the DUC output sample rate or DDC input sample rate divided by 248, or about 0.2
μHz for a 61.44-MSPS DUC output rate. The mixer and NCO can be used for frequency planning or fine
frequency control.
Per-channel phase can be adjusted in the mixer/NCO block with a 16-bit phase word, while per channel
fractional delay can be adjusted in the Farrow block.

MUX and SUM (TX Direction)
The MUX and SUM block maps any channel from the DUC to any TX stream for subsequent per-stream
processing.
Crest Factor Reduction (CFR)
The CFR blocks include the CFR function and two interpolate-by-2 filters (referred to here as UC1 and UC2).
The two CFR blocks together can support 1, 2, or 4 TX streams. The CFR function selectively reduces the
peak-to-average ratio (PAR) of wideband digital signals provided in quadrature (I and Q) format, such as those
used in 3G and 4G wireless applications. For example, the CFR function can reduce the PAR of WCDMA Test
Model 1 signals to 5.7 dB, while still meeting all 3GPP requirements for ACLR, composite EVM, and peak code
domain error (PCDE).
The CFR blocks can be configured in eleven different modes, depending on the number of TX streams, the DPD
mode, and the signal sample rates. Relative to previous TI CFR products, the GC533x CFR has enhanced
features such as:
• Constant PAR mode
• Constant input-to-output power mode
• Dynamic PAR target levels for different portions of the time-domain signal
• Up to 25% less latency for certain configurations
• Enhanced CFR performance for narrowband signals
• Automatic (i.e., no host interaction required) CFR coefficient generation for frequency-hopping signals
The UC1 and UC2 blocks can be set to 1× or 2× interpolation and may be used to provide optimum selection of
signal oversampling ratio at CFR. UC1 may be positioned before or after the CFR function, while UC2 is always
at the output of CFR. Since UC2 has only a 40% bandwidth image rejection (90 dB) filter, it is only used if
preceded by UC1, which has an 80% bandwidth image-rejection (90 dB) filter.
Digital Predistortion (DPD)
The DPD blocks include the DPD function, TX equalization, and the envelope tracking (ET) function. The
GC533x supports two modes of operation, depending on signal bandwidth and desired DPD correction capability:
high-performance (HP) mode and high-bandwidth (HB) mode. For 5× DPD expansion bandwidth (fifth-order DPD
correction), the following signal bandwidths and number of streams can be supported.
High-performance DPD mode
1 TX stream at 62 {74} MHz
2 TX streams at 31 {37} MHz each
4 TX streams at 15.5 {18.5} MHz each
This mode provides more extensive nonlinear correction or longer DPD memory and is suitable for the
most-difficult and high-performance DPD requirements.
High-bandwidth DPD mode
1 TX stream at 62 {74} MHz
2 TX streams at 62 {74} MHz each
4 TX streams at 31 {37} MHz each
This mode provides excellent DPD correction for most DPD requirements.
The TX equalizer is a complex equalizer and is configurable from 17 to 34 taps, depending on the DPD mode of
operation. In HP modes, the number of taps may be up to 34. In HB modes, the number of taps may be up to 17.
Contact the TI factory for additional details.
The predistortion correction terms are computed by an external processor (e.g., TI TMS320C6748 DSP) based
on reference-input and PA-feedback data captured in the GC533x capture buffers. The external processor reads
the captured data buffers from the GC533x and writes back the newly computed DPD correction terms on a
continuous basis.

DPD – Envelope Tracking (ET) Mode
The ET block provides a 10-, 12-, or 14-bit real digital word, at a rate up to 155 MSPS, that is proportional to the
peak envelope signal of the composite TX stream either before or after the DPD function. The ET block includes
fixed and fractional delay adjustments and a LUT to provide nonlinear shaping to the ET waveform. The GC533x
can provide one or two ET outputs along with the corresponding one or two TX signal stream outputs. The ET
outputs use one of the LVDS DAC ports and have two interface format modes:
a. One or two antenna streams. One antenna stream per port, with interleaved MSB half-word and LSB
half-word. The port can be configured as 7-, 6-, or 5-bit DDR data (see Table 14 and Figure 18), plus clock
(maximum clock rate of 155 MHz in this mode). In all three cases, the 16-bit internal data is rounded to the
specified 14, 12, or 10 bits. Format on the DDR data port for the three cases is:
14-bit: [13:7], then [6:0]
12-bit: [11:6], then [5:0]
10-bit: [9:5], then [4:0]
b. One antenna stream only. One antenna stream per port. The port can be configured as 14-, 12-, or 10-bit
SDR data (see Figure 18), plus clock (maximum clock rate of 155 MHz in this mode). In all three cases, the
16-bit internal data is rounded to the specified 14, 12, or 10 bits.
Note that clock out may have a few hundred ps of jitter and is not suitable for directly driving the ET modulator
DAC. The clock for the ET modulator DAC should come directly from a TI CDC clock chip, which is already on
the board to provide clock sources.
TX IF Sub-Chip
The TX IF sub-chip includes a bulk upconverter (BUC), four IF mixer/NCO blocks, and TX stream MUX and
SUM.
The BUC block has interpolations of 1×, 1.5×, 2×, 3×, and 4×. In the DPD high-band width mode, the 2×
interpolation from the BUC is routed to the DPD input. In the high-bandwidth mode, BUC interpolation is not used
after DPD. In the DPD high-performance mode, BUC interpolation is dependent on the configuration.
There are four parallel NCO/MIX blocks to allow frequency translation of each composite TX stream. The NCO is
48 bits and is referenced to the TX output rate. The NCO/MIX block can be used in either HP or HB modes;
however, using the mixer reduces the DPD expansion bandwidth by the amount of frequency translation.
The TX stream MUX and SUM block allows summing of TX streams to create composite TX streams.
TX DAC Formatter
The DAC output consists of two 20-pair LVDS blocks that can be configured by the DAC formatter block for
several TI DACs and system configurations. The formatter can support up to 8 DACs for 4 TX streams in
complex mode. The DAC formatter block supports the TI DAC5682, DAC328x, and DAC348x families. Table 5
illustrates the pin connections the different DAC and envelope [ET] modulator types.

RX ADC Formatter
There are three ADC input ports: two 15-pair LVDS ports (referred to as ports A and B) and one 8-pair LVDS
port (referred to as port C and typically used for the DPD feedback path). Depending on the ADCs selected,
these three ports can accommodate up to 17 ADCs (e.g., using two octals and a single). The formatter block can
route any port to either the capture buffer block or the RX signal processing blocks. The pin connections for the
ADCs are shown in Table 6.
The GC533x works seamlessly with the following TI ADCs.
Single: 5400, 12-bit, 1 GSPS, may need special routing on the PCB.
5463, 12-bit, 500 MSPS, may need clock-to-data-skew special routing on the PCB.
54RF63, 12-bit, 550 MSPS, may need clock-to-data-skew special routing on the PCB.

Feedback Processing
The feedback path is input to RXC as a real ADC. This is captured in the capture buffer and sent to the DSP. In
cases where a higher-rate real ADC (>250 Msps) or a complex feedback path is desired, for better feedback
performance, one of the RX ADC inputs can be used for the feedback path, and one RX ADC input is used for
the RX path. Note: both RX downconverters can still be used for the RX path, or one can be used for feedback.

The widest-band feedback is seen directly from the ADC interface to the capture buffer. Further RX processing to
get the complex data to the capture buffer requires that the complex rate is one-half the DPD clock rate or lower.
RX Sub-Chips
Each of two RX sub-chips consists of the following blocks (each block may be optionally bypassed), which
operate on a per-stream basis:
• DC offset cancellation
• Front-end automatic gain control (feAGC)
• Real-to-Complex (R2C) conversion
• Switch for replicating or moving streams across the four paths (per sub-chip)
• IF NCO for complex mixing (frequency translation)
• Bulk downconverter (BDC)
• Equalizer
• IQ imbalance correction
DC offset cancellation
The dc offset canceller can be programmed to integrate a number of input samples automatically, divide by a
power of 2, and subtract the mean offset or a programmed offset from the input. The input can be real or
complex. Each input ADC has a separate cancellation for each RX block channel.
Front-end AGC
The feAGC block is used to control the RX ADC input level by controlling an external DVGA.
The feAGC has multiple channels in each RX block:
• 1 real stream up to 4 × DPD clock rate (only use one block)
• 2 real (using both blocks) or 1 complex stream (only use one block) up to 2 × DPD clock rate each
• 4 real or 2 complex streams up to DPD clock rate each (uses both blocks)
• 8 real or 4 complex streams up to 1/2 DPD clock rate each (uses both blocks)
The feAGC has both threshold comparison and an integrated power measurement. The feAGC has an error
accumulation. The error accumulation can be mapped to a specific ADC desired operating point. The integral
controller outputs the DVGA value to control the ADC input. DVGA controls are mapped to the specific DVGA
outputs, supporting multiple DVGA types. Multipliers in the data path can be used to compensate for external
DVGA gain changes (from the feAGC output control word). A delay block aligns the gain value applied to the
internal multiplier with the point in time on the data samples where the external gain change was applied. Use of
this multiplier minimizes gain steps that would cause transients in the downstream digital filters and allows
relative power measurements on the digital signals.
The AGC operation may be suspended during certain conditions. The internal controlled-delay AGC update and
special clock gating can be used to suspend the AGC operation.
The control word outputs from the feAGC blocks are applied to external DVGA parts via the DVGA pins. There
are 16 DVGA pins (3.3-V CMOS) which may be individually configured as DVGA output signals or GPIO (input or
output) signals. When used as DVGA control signals, there are two modes:
• Transparent mode – parallel output words are connected directly to DVGAs that are being used in a mode
without a clock or latch signal to clock-in the gain word. This is the minimum latency mode. There can be two
ports of 8 bits each, three ports of 5 bits each, four ports of 4 bits each, or five ports of 3 bits each.
• Clocked mode – eight latch enable (LE) signals and one 8-bit output word. This mode allows up to eight
control signals, up to 8 bits each, but with increased latency. The LE signal may be a positive or negative
pulse, with programmable width.
R2C
In the real-to-complex conversion block, real signal inputs are up- or downconverted by fS/4, filtered to isolate the
selected sideband, and decimated by a factor of 2. Real-to-complex conversion is bypassed for complex inputs.
The rejection of the R2C decimation filter is:
• For 90% bandwidth signal, –68 dB, stop band
• For 80% bandwidth signal, –106 dB, stop band

Switch
Any of the up to eight complex RX antenna/signal inputs across both sub-chips may be switched to one or more
of the up to 4 output streams of each sub-chip.
IF NCO
The NCO/mixer block generates in-phase and quadrature sinusoidal signals (cos/sin) and mixes them with the
switched antenna streams to frequency-translate the RX signals. The NCO contains a 48-bit frequency word and
48-bit accumulator.
BDC
The BDC supports the following modes and sample rates at its input (across both sub-chips):
• Single – 4 × DPD clock rate real, 2× DPD clock rate complex
• Dual – 2 × DPD clock rate real, DPD clock rate complex
• Quad – DPD clock rate real, 1/2 DPD clock rate complex
• Octal – 1/2 DPD clock rate real
Total decimation factors may be 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16. The decimation filtering is achieved with the cascade of the
real-to-complex filter (R2C), a fixed filter F1, and a fixed filter F2. The rejection of the F1 and F2 filters is:
• Filter F1 (decimate by 1 or 2)
– If used, always followed by filter F2, so relaxed requirements
– 45% bandwidth, –107 dB stopband
• Filter F2
– Recirculated 1–3 times to provide 2, 4, or 8× decimation factor
– 90% bandwidth, –75 dB, stop band
– 80% bandwidth, –106 dB, stop band
Equalizer
The receive equalizer is full-complex 16-tap filter that performs the following signal-processing functions:
• Programmable spectral inversion at the input
• Equalization of analog signal paths
• Channel equalization for repeater applications
• Gain/phase/fractional delay adjust (MIMO/smart antenna support)
• Fixed dc offset compensation at the output
Independent complex coefficients for real and imaginary signal data allow full flexibility for independent
equalization of the direct- and cross-IQ signal components, as well as frequency-dependent IQ gain and phase
imbalance compensation. The programmable 16-bit coefficient sets (i.e., Cii, Cqq, Ciq and Cqi, for each tap) can be
updated on the fly.
IQ imbalance correction
Automatic correction of IQ imbalance is provided with a 1-tap blind adaptive algorithm. The correction coefficients
also may be programmed to fixed values. This block supports programmable integration intervals and flexible
gating of loop operation.
RX Distributor
The outputs from the RX sub-chips are routed to the RX distributor block, which enables arbitrary assignment of
RX streams to DDC channels and blocks.
RX Baseband Output Formatter
The RX baseband (BB) output formatter block accepts data from the DDC and formats the data for output on the
BB LVDS pins. A back-end AGC (beAGC) function is included that optionally adjusts the gain of each channel
and provides multiple format options. There are 12 unidirectional LVDS pairs for the RX BB interface.

Back-end AGC
The beAGC function is available for receive channels from DDUC3 and DDUC2 (DDUC1 and DDUC0 may also
be used for receive—with the formats as described following—but without the beAGC function). When the
floating-point format is selected (described following), the beAGC is not used. For the fixed-point formats, the
beAGC may be on or off. There are separate beAGC blocks associated with DDUC3 and DDUC2, and each
block can process up to 12 channels. Within a block, there are two sets of control parameters. This provides
support for two different signal types sharing the same DDUC block. Each channel may have a
programmable-gain starting point or a fixed gain, and there is a per-channel flexible gating signal to control
freeze/operate intervals for TDD signal types. The beAGC has approximately a 100 dB dynamic range. The
beAGC algorithm adjusts the gain to drive the median magnitude of gain-loop output data to a target threshold
value. There are four step-sizes used (two for above and two for below the threshold), depending on distance
from the threshold value.
Output formatter
There are three operational modes for the RX BB output formatter: byte mode (B, 9 bits), nibble mode (N, 4 bits),
and serial mode (S, 2 bits). The nibble and serial modes allow multiple BB output rates and the use of fewer pins
on the interface. The GC533x can provide up to three different BB output data rates. Table 7 and Table 8
summarize the different modes and pin assignments for the byte, nibble, and serial modes. As can be seen in
Table 8, there are two data formats supported:
• Floating point (indicated with an F in the mode label; 14- or 16-bit mantissa, 4-bit exponent)
• Fixed point without gain word (16- or 18-bit options)
In Table 8, BBOUT[X] is the BBOUT differential pair (assumed positive and negative connections), and BB0,
BB1, and BB2 represent three different RX differential baseband input signals that can be at arbitrary rates.
Figure 13 shows the BB output formats. The maximum-data-rate configurations have the DDR clock out
transitioning synchronously with the data (referred to as DDR Mode 0 in the table). At half the maximum possible
data rate (referred to as DDR Mode 1 in the table) and a quarter of the maximum possible data rate (referred to
as DDR Mode 2 in the table), the DDR clock out transitions in the middle of the data-steady time .

Capture Buffers
The GC533x has two capture buffers, each 4096 complex words (18-bits I, 18-bits Q) deep, which are
periodically read by the external coefficient update controller (DSP) in order to optimize the DPD coefficients. The
capture buffers can be configured to sample data signals at the following points in the GC533x:
● DPD HP mode input
(Referred to as node A)
● DPD HP mode output
(Node B)
● DPD HB mode input
(Node C)
● DPD HB mode output
(Node D)
● RX AB input
(Node E)
● RX path 0/1 output
(Node F)
● RX C (feedback) input
(Node G)
● Testbus
The capture buffers can be triggered via an external sync signal, through a software trigger, or when the
monitored signal exceeds the user-configurable thresholds. The capture buffers can be programmed to monitor
the signal statistics continuously and only capture data when certain requirements are met, as well as to
generate an interrupt when a qualified buffer is captured. This helps in selecting an optimum set of data for the
DSP to use in optimizing the DPD coefficients. The capture buffers can be read by the DSP via the MPU
interface.
The capture buffers also allow synchronized multi-chip data capture. For a multiple antenna system that uses
more than one GC533x, a feedback signal to use in adapting DPD coefficients in multiple GC533x chips can be
connected to just one of the GC533x chips. The SYNCOUT signal can be used to daisy-chain (e.g., connecting
to SYNCA on the next chip) across the GC533x chips in the system. The SYNCOUT signal indicates the end of
the data capture and can be used as a capture trigger in all chips.
Microprocessor (MPU) Interface
The MPU interface is designed to interface with external memory interface (EMIF) ports on TI DSPs operating in
asynchronous mode. It consists of a 16-bit bidirectional data bus, an 8-bit address bus, and WEB, OEB, CEB,
and EMIFENA control signals. The interface supports the TI ‘C6748 as an EMIF asynchronous interface. The
MPU interface has two address spaces: a paged address space and an auto-increment address space.
To enable the EMIF interface, pin EMIFENA must be set to logic high.
In an MPU write cycle, a GC533x internal MPUCLK signal is generated by NORing CEB and WEB. The
MPUCLK signal goes high when both CEB and WEB are asserted and goes low as soon as either CEB or WEB
is de-asserted. The MPU data is latched on the rising edge of the MPUCLK signal. For the auto-increment
address spaces, the auto-increment address increments on the falling edge of the MPUCLK signal.
In an MPU read cycle, a GC533x internal MPUCLK signal is generated by NORing CEB and OEB. The MPUCLK
signal goes high when both CEB and OEB are asserted and goes low as soon as either CEB or OEB is
de-asserted. The MPU readback data is available soon after the rising edge of the MPUCLK signal. For the
auto-increment address spaces, the auto-increment address increments on the failing edge of the MPUCLK
signal.
Figure 14 shows the MPU interface timing diagram. The timing specifications are provided in Table 26 and
Table 27.

Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
The MPU and SPI interfaces can be only enabled one at a time. EMIFENA must be set to logic low to enable the
SPI interface. A three- or four-wire SPI interface is supported in the GC533x. It consists of SPIDENB, SPICLK ,
SPIDIO, and SPIDO-(SPARE) (output in four-wire mode) signals. See Table 25 and Figure 25.
JTAG Interface
The GC533x includes a five-pin JTAG interface that supports boundary scan for all CMOS pads in the chip,
aside from the TESTMOD pin. The BBIN, BBOUT, RX, TX, and SYNC pins are all LVDS and do not get JTAG
boundary scan. IMPORTANT NOTE: if not using JTAG, the TRSTB signal should be grounded (or pulled to
ground through R ≤ 1 kΩ); otherwise, the JTAG port may take control of the pins. See Table 24 and Figure 24.
A BSDL file is available on the GC533x Web page.
Input and Output Syncs
The GC533x features two LVDS input syncs (SYNCA and SYNCB) and one LVDS output (SYNCOUT)
user-programmable sync. These are typically used as trigger/synchronization mechanisms to activate features
within the device. The input syncs can be used to trigger events such as:
• Power measurements
• DUC channel delay, mixer phase and dither
• Initializing/loading filter coefficients
• Capturing and sourcing of data in the capture buffers
• Controlling gating intervals for AGC and other adaptive loops
• Frequency NCO changes, or hopping synchronization
The SYNCA signal is used for device startup. The SYNCB signal can be used for shared feedback
synchronization between multiple GC533x devices. The sync signal is active-high. The width (number of positive
edges of the DPD clock) of the sync signal depends on the configuration. See the GC533x sync and MPU
application note to determine the proper sync duration. A typical sync-pulse duration is four DPD clocks. The
sync must be periodic, and usually starts at the beginning of the TX frame.
The output sync can be programmed to reflect triggering of specific events within the GC533x, and is primarily
used to output the capture-buffer sync out signal.

Programmable Power Meters
Interval-Based Power Meter
There are three interval-based power meters which compute magnitude-squared sample values during
programmable time intervals and provide the following results:
• Integrated magnitude-squared power
• Peak power
• Number of magnitude-squared values above a first threshold
• Number of magnitude-squared values above a second threshold
An interrupt bit is set when new measurement results are available. For its input, each power meter can
independently select from the same set of internal node sources as the capture buffers.
Running-Average Power Meter for PA Protection
The running-average power meter monitors up to four signal streams on a single node, which is selectable from
the same set of internal sources as the capture buffers. For each signal stream, it measures running-average
power and counts instantaneous power values above a threshold (referred to as peaks). It can be used in
conjunction with hardware alarms for monitoring power levels for PA protection.
The running-average power meter has the following features:
• Running average mode, with programmable forgetting factor exponent, u (0 < u < 15)
AAA y(k+1) = (1 – 2-u) × y(k) + 2-u × |x(k)|2,
AAA where x(k) is the signal sample and y(k) is the power meter output.
AAA Typically, one must set u = 11 to get 0.5-dB accuracy, u = 14 to get 0.1-dB accuracy.
• Peak count mode: counts the number of power values, |x(k)|2, above a threshold in a specified number of
samples (window). The number of power values, threshold, and window are all programmable.
• Flexible gating of the operation interval
Alarms
The output, y(k), from the running-average power meter can be compared on an ongoing basis to programmable
high and low thresholds (always positive). There are two alarms, alarm0 and alarm1. Each alarm is triggered (if it
is enabled) based on the programmed mode:
(0) Disabled
(1) Average power alarm. The alarm is triggered based on the following conditions:
If alarm polarity = 0 (see the alm_polarity register), y(k) > high_threshold
If alarm polarity = 1, y(k) < low_threshold
If alarm polarity = 2, y(k) > high_threshold or y(k) < low_threshold
(2) Peak power alarm. The alarm is triggered based on the following conditions:
If the count of power values |x(k)|2 > peak_threshold exceeds the programmed number of
samples, peak_samples, in a programmed window, peak_window
(3) The alarm is triggered if either (1) or (2) occurs.
Alarm checks are computed on a per-antenna-stream basis. Each antenna stream y(k) result is compared to
per-stream programmable thresholds.
Once an alarm has been triggered, the output INTERRPT pin is asserted and the appropriate (alarm0 or alarm1)
alarm interrupt bit is set and, for alarm1, a programmable action takes place. The programmable action is the
same for all antenna streams, but the alarm triggering is independent for each antenna stream.

Programmable trigger actions for alarm1:
(0) No action
(1) Reduce gain of DPD output by programmable scale factor (programmed with
stream[n].gain_reduce), only if alarm caused by y(k) > high_threshold and alm_polarit = 0 or 2.
The gain reduction is applied at the CFR input. A control signal from the capture buffer block is
used to select the programmed gain value for the multiplier at the CFR input. When the host
resets this alarm by writing to the appropriate register, the control signal returns to 0 (state that is
not selecting the programmed gain value).

Figure 15. TX Baseband LVDS Input Timing Specifications
The BB LVDS RX outputs have three different output timing modes, DDR0, DDR1 and DDR2. DDR1 and DDR2
modes output data, and the BBclk output is centered over the data. In DDR0 mode, the data and clock are
edge-aligned. Different BBOUT pins are used for clock, frame, and data pins depending on the byte, nibble, and
serial modes. The DDR1 and DDR2 modes are shown in Table 12 and Figure 16. The DDR0 mode is shown in
Table 13 and Figure 17. Table 12 and Figure 16. DDR1 mode is used upto a BBclk frequency of 310 MHz.
DDR2 mode is used upto a BBclk frequency of 155 MHz. When the data rate is higher than 500 MHz, BBclk
above 250 MHz, the operating mode is DDR0. In this mode, the clock is aligned with the output data transition. In
DDR0 mode, the customer must delay the clock to meet the tsu and thi target for the baseband input. The tskw
time is measured as the relative skew for the data and frame to the clock output. This is shown in Figure 13 and
Table 17.
In receive (uplink) mode, the GC5330 outputs data using the LVDS pins BBOUT. The BBOUT port may be
operated in three modes, DDR0, DDR1, and DDR2.

The lowest-rate outputs use DDR2 mode, where the output clock changes on one rising edge of the internal
clock and the output data changes on the subsequent rising edge. In DDR2 mode, the output bit rate (per LVDS
pair) is half of the internal clock. Middle-rate outputs use DDR1 mode, where the output clock changes on the
falling edge of the internal clock and the output data changes on the rising edge of the internal clock, which
results in an output bit rate equal to the internal clock rate. Both DDR1 and DDR2 result in the output clock edge
occurring in the middle of output data-stable time. The DDR1 and DDR2 modes are shown in Table 12 and
Figure 16.
The highest-rate outputs use DDR0 mode, where both the output clock and output data change with both the
rising and falling edges of the internal clock. The DDR0 output bit rate is twice the internal clock rate. DDR0
results in the clock and data changing at the same time, and typically requires extra trace length on the PC board
for the clockout signal to provide the required setup time for the receiving chip. The DDR0 mode is shown in
Table 13 and Figure 17.

The DAC TX interface has a 40-signal output bus. The DAC TX bus can provide 4-byte-wide or 2-word-wide
interfaces. Table 5 shows the different DAC devices that can be connected to the TX output ports. The DAC TX
interface has two styles of clock output, one where the DDR clock is centered over the output data-stable time,
and one where the clock transition is aligned with the data transition. If the output clock rate is greater than
500 MHz, the GC533x must be configured for clock transition aligned with the data transition. Depending on the
DAC type selected, the clock, frame, and data for the DAC may require a trace routing delay for proper
alignment. See Table 14, Table 15, and Table 16.
