Four-Channel, 100 MSPS Digital
Receive Signal Processor (RSP)
a
AD6624A
The AD6624A 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.
FEATURES
100 MSPS Wideband Inputs (14 Linear Bits Plus 3 RSSI)
Dual High-Speed Data Input Ports
Four Independent Digital Receivers in Single Package
Digital Resampling for Noninteger Decimation Rates
Programmable Decimating FIR Filters
Programmable Attenuator Control for Clip Prevention
and External Gain Ranging via Level Indicator
Flexible Control for Multicarrier and Phased Array
3.3 V I/O, 2.5 V CMOS Core
High dynamic range decimation filters offer a wide range of
decimation rates. The RAM-based architecture allows easy
reconfiguration for multimode applications.
User-Configurable Built-In Self-Test (BIST) Capability
JTAG Boundary Scan
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, cost-
effective filter.
APPLICATIONS
Multicarrier, Multimode Digital Receivers GSM, IS136,
EDGE, PHS, IS95
Micro and Pico Cell Systems
Wireless Local Loop
Smart Antenna Systems
Software Radios
In-Building Wireless Telephony
The AD6624A is compatible with standard ADC converters such
as the AD664x, AD9042, AD943x and the AD922x families of
data converters. The AD6624A is also compatible with the
AD6600 Diversity ADC, providing a cost and size reduction path.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD6624A 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.
