When the Wideband Rx Filter bit is set high, the Rx Path Gain is limited to
30 dB. T he first of the two values in the chart refers to this mode. T he second
number refers to the mode when the lower Rx LPF cutoff frequency is chosen,
or the Rx LPF filter is bypassed.
RE GIST E R 7—T RANSMIT PAT H SE T T INGS
T he AD9875 transmit path has a programmable interpolation
filter that precedes the transmit DAC. T he interpolation filter
can be programmed to operate in seven different modes. Also,
the digital interface can be programmed to operate in several
different modes. T hese modes are described below.
Bit 0: T ransmit Port Demultiplexer Bypass
Setting Bit 0 high bypasses the input data demultiplexer. In this
mode, consecutive nibbles on the T xDAT A(5:0) pins are treated
as individual words to be sent through the T x path. T his creates
a six bit data path. T he state of T xSYNC is ignored in this mode.
Bit 1: T ransmit Port Width
If Bit 1 is set high, the T x port will operate such that the most
significant nibble and the least significant nibble are each five
bits wide. T he default mode is six bits for the most significant
nibble and four bit for the least significant nibble. T he data is
always aligned to the MSB pin T x[5]. Enabling this pin on the
AD9875 allows for a five pin versus the default six pin interface.
Bit 2: T ransmit Port Least Significant Nibble First
Setting Bit 2 high reconfigures the AD 9875 for a transmit
mode that expects least significant nibble before the most
significant nibble.
Bit 2: Wideband Rx LPF
T his bit selects the nominal cutoff frequency of the 4-pole LPF.
Setting this bit high selects a nominal cutoff frequency of 28.8 MHz.
When the wideband filter is selected, the Rx path gain is limited
to 30 dB.
Bit 3: Fast ADC Sampling
Setting this bit increases the quiescent current in the SVGA
block. T his may provide some performance improvement
when the ADC sampling frequency is greater than 50 MSPS
(in 6-bit mode).
Bit 4: Rx Digital HPF Bypass
Setting this bit high bypasses the 1-pole digital HPF that follows
the ADC. T he digital filter must be bypassed for ADC sampling
above 50 MSPS.
Bit 5: Rx Path DC Offset Correction
Writing a One to this bit triggers an immediate receive path
offset correction and reads back zero after the completion of the
offset correction.
Bit 6: Rx LPF T uning Update In Progress
T his bit indicates when receive filter calibration is in progress.
T he duration of a receive filter calibration is about 500 ms.
Writing to this bit has no effect.
Bit 7: Rx LPF T uning Update Disable
Setting this bit high disables the automatic background receive
filter calibration. T he AD9875 automatically calibrates the
receive filter on reset and every few (~2) seconds thereafter to
compensate for process and temperature variation, power supply
and long term drift. Programming a one to this bit disables this
function. Programming a zero triggers an immediate first cali-
bration and enables the periodic update.
RE GIST E R 5—RE CE IVE FILT E R T UNING T ARGE T
T his register sets the filter tuning target as a function of f
OSCIN
.
See Register 4 description.
RE GIST E R 6—Rx PAT H GAIN ADJUST
T he AD9875 uses a combination of a continuous time PGA
(CPGA) and a switched capacitor PGA (SPGA) for a gain range
of –6 to 36 dB with a resolution of 2 dB. T he Rx path gain can
be programmed over the serial interface by writing to the Rx
Path Gain Adjust register or directly using the GAIN and MSB
aligned T x[5:1] bits. T he register default value is 0
×
00 for
lowest gain setting (–6 dB). T he register always reads back the
actual gain setting irrespective of which of the two programming
modes were used.
T able V describes the gains and how they are achieved as a
function of the Rx Path adjust bits.
Bit 5: PGA Gain Set through Register
Setting this bit high will result in the Rx Path Gain being set by
writing to the PGA Gain Control register. Default is zero which
selects writing the gain through the T x[5:1] pins in conjunction
with the gain pin.
