NCOs provide a flexible architecture that enables easy programmability such as on-the-fly frequency/phase. NCOs are used in many communications systems including: • Digital up/down converters used in 3G wireless and software radio systems • Digital PLLs • RADAR systems • Drivers for optical or acoustic transmissions • Multilevel FSK/PSK modulators/demodulators Lattice provides a parameterizable NCO IP core that supports multiple channels and a Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) mode, in addition to other usual configurations. The resource utilization and performance trade-off can be tuned by configuring different parameters of the IP core to obtain the optimal Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) result. The Lattice NCO core offers a variety of memory reduction schemes and mechanisms for SFDR improvement. Quick Facts Table 1-1 through Table 1-9 give quick facts about the NCO IP core for LatticeEC™, LatticeECP™, LatticeECP2™, LattticeSC™, LatticeSCM™, LatticeXP™, LatticeECP2M™, LatticeXP2™, and Lattice ECP3™ devices.

Figure 2-1 shows a top-level inteface diagram for the NCO IP core. Figure 2-1. Top-level Interface Diagram for NCO IP Core clk rstn sr ce clear fskin fskwe pskin pskwe chin iin qin NCO outvalid sine cosine chout phout iout qout nextqamin Principle of NCO The NCO generates a sine waveform using the concept of direct digital synthesis. In direct digital synthesis, the samples of the sine wave are stored in memory and are read out to generate the output sine wave. The frequency of the output sine wave is controlled by the clock speed and appropriate skipping of intermediate data points. In the simplest scenario, the sampled data for one full wave period is stored in memory and is directly used for the output. However, other enhanced methods are frequently used to reduce the memory size requirements. For example, only a half or a quarter cycle of the waveform could be stored in memory and the memory address and output sign could be manipulated to get the full cycle waveform. Another useful technique for memory reduction is to consider the input angle as the sum of a coarse angle and a fine angle and compute the output from coarse and fine look-up tables using the sum of angles trigonometric identity. The simplest full wave NCO is considered first to explain the concepts and bring out the notations. The full wave corresponding to one period of the sine wave is divided into N segments. The incremental angle for each segment, denoted as , is equal to 2/N and the phase values corresponding to one period are given by: i = 2i N i = 0, 1, 2, ..., N-1 (1) The output values corresponding to the phase sequence, given in Equation 2, are stored in the look-up table. Figure 2 shows the mapping of angle to sine waveform. di = sini = sin 2i N (2) The phase index, i is generated either sequentially or in increments and used to address the memory look-up table. The output of the look-up table is the sine wave sample. The index increment can be any value greater than zero, including fractional values.

Mapping of Linear Phase Angle to Sine Wave Phase ()  Ts 2  Time Period (T) Amplitude Time Lattice NCO Implementation The key elements of a simple NCO are the phase accumulator and waveform look-up table. The phase accumulator adds a constant phase increment stored in the phase increment register to the accumulated phase at every clock cycle. The accumulated phase provides addresses for the look-up table. The accumulated phase is usually quantized before addressing the look-up table to allow for fractional phase index increments. The Lattice NCO implementation is shown in Figure 2-3. This figure shows a single channel NCO, with FSK (Frequency Shift Keying) and PSK (Phase Shift Keying) inputs and a full wave look-up table. It also shows optional modules for dithering and trigonometric correction. The functional blocks of NCO IP are described in the following sections. Figure 2-3.

The phase increment linearly decides the frequency of the output signal. Hence, this input can be used for frequency shift keying (FSK) modulation. The phase increment is either fixed or read dynamically from an input port, fskin, depending on how the NCO is configured. The output frequency is always a fraction of the clock frequency of the system. Phase Accumulator The phase accumulator computes the phase angle value that is used to address the look-up tables used for the output sine signal generation. The phase angle at any cycle is equal to the phase angle at the last cycle plus the phase increment. For cycle i, i = i-1 + . The width of the accumulator is specified by the user parameter, “Phase resolution”. For a given accumulator width, phase resolution is highest when the phase increment is equal to 1 and reduces for values greater than 1. Phase Shift Keying A constant phase input is added to the accumulated phase before addressing the look-up table. This is useful for implementing phase shift keying (PSK) modulation of the NCO output. The user can choose no phase offset, a fixed phase offset or a variable phase offset (PSK). The variable offset is applied through the PSK input (pskin). Any phase offset that is added causes a shift in the phase angle and a corresponding linear phase shift in the output sine signal. Quantizer The output of phase accumulator (or the optional PSK or dithering module) drives the quantizer. The quantizer scales down the accumulator output to reduce the size of the look-up table. Assuming the look-up able has integer resolution, the quantizer provides a mechanism for fractional phase increments. The Quantizer output width decides the depth of the look-up table and is normally less than the accumulator output width. This allows high precision accumulation operation while using less memory. Look-up Table The central part of the NCO is the look-up table which stores the values of the sine wave corresponding to equally spaced phase angles in the (0,2) interval. If the Wave size parameter is equal to “half” or “quarter”, sine wave samples corresponding to (0,) or (0, /2) respectively are stored in the look-up table. As the cosine of an angle can be derived from the sine of a shifted angle, the cosine value, if required, is read from the same look-up table by manipulating the address. The depth of the look-up table is always a power of 2 and is determined by the userdefined parameter Quantizer resolution. The width of the look-up table is, in most cases, equal to the output width. The look-up table is implemented using block or distributed memories, which is selected by the user parameter Memory type. The memory is addressed by the phase angle index, which is generated by the accumulator and quantizer blocks. Half-wave storage reduces the memory requirement by half, but uses slightly more logic and increases the latency by one cycle. Except for very small look-up table configurations, the user may better choose half-wave storage to reduce memory usage. The user can also choose a quarter-wave storage to reduce memory by another half (half of what is needed for half-wave storage). In the quarter-wave case, however, the latency increases by 1 cycle and additional logic is used compared to half-wave implementation. Sum-of-Angles Memory Reduction As the sine wave samples are stored in memory in direct digital synthesis NCOs, increasing the phase resolution of the output leads to corresponding increase in the size of the look-up table. The amount of memory required can be greatly reduced by making use of the “sum of angles” trigonometric identity and by using additional multipliers and adders after the memory output. This is achieved by dividing the angle space into coarse sub-divisions and then writing the phase angle as a sum of the nearest coarse angle and an additive corrective angle (fine angle). Consider Equation 1 that relates phase angle to an integer angle index. The phase angle resolution of N that is used in that equation can be achieved by the following method. Define the following two sets of angles: coarse and fine, by choosing C and F to satisfy the equation C*F=N. IPUG36_02.5, June 2010 12 NCO IP Core User’s Guide Lattice Semiconductor Functional Description Coarse angle set: cj = 2j C j = 0, 1, 2, ..., C-1 (3) fk = 2k CF k = 0, 1, 2, ..., F-1 (4) Fine angle set: Any phase angle i of Equation 1 can be written as a sum of an angle in the coarse set and one in the fine set as: i = cx + fy (5) where x = i div F and y = i mod F. The sine and cosine values of i can be computed using the sine and cosine values of cx and fy using the following trigonometric identity: sin (i) = sin(cx + fy) = sin(cx)*cos(fy) + cos(cx)*sin(fy) cos (i) = cos(cx + fy) = cos(cx)*cos(fy) - sin(cx)*sin(fy) The look-up tables need only to store the sine and cosine values for coarse and fine phase angle sets only. An implementation of the sum of angles scheme is shown in Figure 2-4. IPUG36_02.5, June 2010 13 NCO IP Core User’s Guide Lattice Semiconductor Functional Description Figure 2-4.

However, the memory used is much less compared with the full-wave scheme without sum of angles reduction. For a typical example of 16-bit quantizer resolution, sum of angles scheme can lead to more than 98% memory saving, compared to the full-wave implementation. Improving Quality of Output A common measure of the output quality of NCO is the Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR). This roughly indicates the degree of power separation between the main lobe and the next strongest side lobe in the power spectral density plot. The SFDR can be improved using either phase dithering or trigonometric correction. Phase dithering diffuses the concentration of phase quantization noise by adding a small random value to the accumulated phase before quantization. Trigonometric correction serves to improve the SFDR in a more deterministic way by adding a correction factor computed from the discarded LSB bits, to the output. The SFDR for the NCO output without dithering or trigonometric correction is approximately equal to 6*Quantizer resolution. IPUG36_02.5, June 2010 14 NCO IP Core User’s Guide Lattice Semiconductor Functional Description Phase Dithering Truncation in phase address output from accumulator, results in amplitude errors at the output of the sine or cosine waveforms. These errors are periodic in nature regardless of the frequency of operation. Due to the periodicity of these errors in time, they appear as spurious frequencies in the frequency spectrum. This reduces the SFDR of the output signal. In order to improve the SFDR, random phase error is introduced in the least significant bits of the look up table address. Introduction of this randomness minimizes the periodicity of the errors in time domain, resulting in reduced strength of the spurious frequencies in frequency spectrum. This SFDR improvement is achieved at the cost of reduced signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the output. Phase dithering is implemented by adding a random number to the phase address output of the accumulator before it is given to the quantizer. The word length of the random number is user programmable based on the parameter Dithering bits. Trigonometric Correction If the SFDR requirements are more stringent and cannot be met by the phase dithering option, then trigonometric phase correction implementation should be used. This implementation improves SFDR by 46 dB over the nophase-correction implementation and by 34 dB over the phase dithering implementation. The phase correction is implemented on the output samples from the look-up table memories as shown in Figure 2-5. In this implementation the truncated LSBs of the phase accumulator are used for phase correction using trigonometric properties as explained below: For any  and a < /2, sin ( + )  sin () +  * cos () cos ( + )  cos () -  * sin () This implementation requires two additional multipliers and two adders and one constant multiplier as shown in the figure. Figure 2-5.

All these outputs will timeshare the output ports. The multi-channel implementation of the NCO contains all the functional blocks required by the single channel NCO. In addition to those blocks, it uses memories for storing the phase increment values, phase offset values and phase accumulator output values for each channel. Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) In addition to frequency and phase modulations, this NCO can also be used for quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM). These modulations are ubiquitous in wireless and wireline communications systems. Four multipliers and two adders are required for implementing QAM. The QAM implementation is shown in Figure 2-6.

The qout port is a user-selectable output. 1-4 O This output port gives the channel number for the next QAM input signal (iin or qin). This optional signal is available only when Multi-channel is selected. ce 1 I Clock enable signal. This signal has the highest priority after rstn. The NCO operation freezes for as long as ce is held low. This optional signal should be selected only when required as it leads to increased core size. sr 1 I Synchronous reset signal. When asserted all internal registers are reset. The optional signal ce, if used, must be held high, for sr to be effective. This optional signal should be selected only when required as it leads to increased core size. clear 1 I Accumulator clear signal. If high, it clears the phase accumulator and restarts the sine output from zero or the programmed phase offset (PSK offset). nextqamin Optional I/Os IPUG36_02.5, June 2010 17 NCO IP Core User’s Guide Lattice Semiconductor Functional Description Table 2-1. Interface Signal Descriptions (Continued) Port phout outvalid Bits I/O Description 3-32 O Phase output. This optional output provides the phase value corresponding to the current sine or cosine output (in unsigned format). 1 O Output valid. This optional output signal signifies the presence of a valid output at the output data busses (sine and/or cosine). Latency The latency for NCO varies depending on different parameter settings. It is displayed in the summary page of the NCO IP GUI. Latency for NCO is defined as the number of clock cycles required for changes to either fskin or pskin to be reflected in sine or cosine outputs. When both FSK input and PSK input are defined as “constant”, then the latency is the number of clock cycles for valid outputs (sine or cosine) to appear after rstn is deasserted. For the sample configuration in the timing diagram Figure 2-7, the latency is three cycles. Timing Diagrams The I/O timing diagrams for single channel and multi-channel NCOs are given in Figure 2-7 and Figure 2-8 respectively. Figure 2-7.

Figure 3-1. Architecture Tab IPUG36_02.5, June 2010 21 NCO IP Core User’s Guide Lattice Semiconductor Parameter Settings Multi-channel Mode Multi-channel Determines whether multiple channels are supported. Number of Channels Denotes the number of NCO channels. Valid only if Multi-channel is selected. Wave Characteristics Wave Size Determines how much of the sine wave is stored in the look-up table. Sum of Angles Determines whether sum of angles method is used for memory reduction. Phase Resolution Phase Resolution: Maximum phase resolution of the NCO expressed in bits. This also defines the accumulator width. Quantizer Resolution Phase quantizer resolution: The output of the phase accumulator is quantized to this resolution before addressing the trigonometric look-up table. This also determines the depth of the trigonometric look-up table. The maximum value supported is 16 bits without sum of angles usage and 20 bits if the sum of angles method is employed. This resolution must be less than or equal to Phase resolution. Phase Correction Phase Correction Phase correction method for SFDR improvement. “Trigonometric” option is not available if Sum of angles is selected. Rounding Type Rounding type used for quantizing the phase accumulator output. This is valid only if Phase correction is “None.” Dithering Bits Number of dithering bits. This is used only if Phase correction is “Dithering.” QAM Mode QAM Mode This parameter indicates whether Quadrature Amplitude Modulation functionality is required. If “Yes,” QAM input and output ports are added to the IP and the parameter QAM input port width must be defined by user. QAM Input Port Width Width of the QAM input port. IPUG36_02.5, June 2010 22 NCO IP Core User’s Guide Lattice Semiconductor Parameter Settings FSK/PSK Tab Figure 3-2 shows the contents of the FSK/PSK tab. Figure 3-2. FSK/PSK Tab FSK Mode FSK Input This parameter defines whether the FSK input is a constant or a variable. If “Variable,” FSK input ports are added and the parameter FSK input port width must be defined by the user. If “Constant,” the Phase increment parameter must be defined. Phase Increment Phase increment value. This value determines the phase increment that is added to the phase accumulator at every clock. This decides the frequency of the output waveform. In multi-channel modes, a phase increment must be specified for each channel. FSK Input Port Width Width of the fskin port. This must be less than the parameter Phase resolution. PSK Mode PSK Input This parameter determines if Phase Shift Keying input is used and if used, whether it is a constant or variable. If “Constant,” a fixed value defined by Phase offset is used for the increment. If “Variable,” PSK input ports are added and the user must define the parameter PSK input port width. Phase Offset Phase offset value. Determines the phase offset that is added to the accumulated phase at every clock. This decides the phase of the output waveform. In multi-channel modes, a phase offset must be specified for each channel. PSK Input Port Width Width of the pskin port. This must be equal to or less than the parameter Phase resolution. IPUG36_02.5, June 2010 23 NCO IP Core User’s Guide Lattice Semiconductor Parameter Settings Implementation Tab Figure 3-3 shows the contents of the Implementation tab. Figure 3-3. Implementation Tab Memory Type Memory Type This parameter defines whether block or distributed memories are used. It provides the user with additional flexibility of memory/logic resource utilization. DSP Block Use DSP Block This parameter defines whether DSP blocks are used. This option is available only for Trigonometric correction, Sum of angles and QAM modes. Data Output Ports Sine This parameter determines whether the sine output port is available in the core. If QAM mode is “No” and Cosine is “No,” then Sine must be “Yes.” Cosine This parameter determines whether the cosine output port is available in the core. If QAM mode is “No” and Sine is “No,” then Cosine must be be “Yes.” Sine Polarity This parameter defines polarity of the sine output. It could be positive or negative. Cosine Polarity This parameter defines polarity of the cosine output. It could be positive or negative. IPUG36_02.5, June 2010 24 NCO IP Core User’s Guide Lattice Semiconductor Parameter Settings Optional I/O Ports ce Determines whether the input port ce (clock enable) is present. sr Determines whether the input port sr (synchronous reset) is present. clear Determines whether the input port clear is present. This signal clears the phase accumulator (or presets the accumulator with the fixed phase offset, if provided). phout This option determines whether the optional phase output is required. If “Yes,” the output port phout is added. outvalid This option determines whether the output port outvalid is present. qout This option determines whether qout port is present. This port is available only if QAM mode is selected. Pipeline Tab Figure 3-4 shows the contents of the Pipeline tab. Figure 3-4. Pipeline Tab Pipeline Options Register After Phase Shift Adder This option places a register after the phase shift adder if PSK input is “Variable.” This prevents any performance degradation due to phase adder, but the output is delayed by one more clock cycle. Register After Phase Dithering Block This option places a register after the dithering block if “Dithering” is chosen for phase correction. This prevents any performance degradation due to phase dithering, but the output is delayed by one more clock cycle. Register After Phase Quantizer This option places a register after the phase quantizer if Wave size is “quarter.” This prevents any performance degradation in quarter-wave modes, but the output is delayed by one more clock cycle. Memory Output Register This option selects the optional memory output register in the sysMEM™ EBR block RAMs. This improves the performance of the trigonometric look-up tables, especially when multiple sysMEM EBR blocks are used for the lookup-table. The output is delayed by one more clock cycle if this option is chosen. IPUG36_02.5, June 2010 25 NCO IP Core User’s Guide Lattice Semiconductor Parameter Settings Additional Memory Data Register for Half and Quarter Waves This option places an additional register in the memory data path. This prevents any performance degradation in half-wave or quarter-wave modes. The output is delayed by one more clock cycle if this option is chosen. Summary Tab Figure 3-4 shows the contents of the Summary tab. This tab presents a summary of various aspects of the generated NCO IP core based on the specified parameters. Figure 3-5. Summary Tab IPUG36_02.5, June 2010 26 NCO IP Core User’s Guide Chapter 4: IP Core Generation This chapter provides information on how to generate the NCO IP core using the IPexpress tool included in the Diamond and ispLEVER software, and how to include the core in a top-level design. Licensing the IP Core An IP core- and device-specific license is required to enable full, unrestricted use of the NCO IP corein a complete, top-level design. Instructions on how to obtain licenses for Lattice IP cores are given at: http://www.latticesemi.com/products/intellectualproperty/aboutip/isplevercoreonlinepurchas.cfm Users may download and generate the NCO IP core and fully evaluate the core through functional simulation and implementation (synthesis, map, place and route) without an IP license. The NCO IP corealso supports Lattice’s IP hardware evaluation capability, which makes it possible to create versions of the IP core that operate in hardware for a limited time (approximately four hours) without requiring an IP license. See “Hardware Evaluation” on page 32 for further details. However, a license is required to enable timing simulation, to open the design in the Diamond or ispLEVER EPIC tool, and to generate bitstreams that do not include the hardware evaluation timeout limitation. Getting Started The NCO IP core is available for download from Lattice’s IP server using the IPexpress tool. The IP files are automatically installed using ispUPDATE technology in any customer-specified directory. After the IP core has been installed, the IP core will be available in the IPexpress GUI dialog box shown in Figure 4-1. The ispLEVER IPexpress tool GUI dialog box for the NCO IP core is shown in Figure 4-1. To generate a specific IP core configuration the user specifies: • Project Path – Path to the directory where the generated IP files will be loaded. • File Name – “username” designation given to the generated IP core and corresponding folders and files. • (Diamond) Module Output – Verilog or VHDL. • (ispLEVER) Design Entry Type – Verilog HDL or VHDL. • Device Family – Device family to which IP is to be targeted (e.g. LatticeSCM, Lattice ECP2M, LatticeECP3, etc.). Only families that support the particular IP core are listed. • Part Name – Specific targeted part within the selected device family.
