The AD9870 is a general-purpose IF subsystem that digitizes a
low-level 10 MHz–300 MHz IF input with a bandwidth of up to
150 kHz. The signal chain of the AD9870 consists of a low-noise
amplifier, a mixer, a variable gain amplifier with integral antialias
filter, a bandpass sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter, and a
decimation filter with programmable decimation factor. An auto-
matic gain control (AGC) circuit provides the AD9870 with
25 dB of continuous gain adjustment. The high dynamic range
of the bandpass sigma-delta converter allows the AD9870 to
cope with blocking signals that are as much as 70 dB stronger
than the desired signal. Auxiliary blocks include clock and LO
synthesizers as well as a serial peripheral interface (SPI) port.

The SPI port programs numerous parameters of the AD9870,
including the synthesizer divide ratios, the AGC attack and decay
times, the AGC target signal level, the decimation factor, the
output data format, the 16 dB attenuator, and the bias currents of
several blocks. Reducing bias currents allows the user to reduce
power consumption at the expense of reduced performance.
