RECEIVE SECTION
The receive section consists of I and Q receive channels, each
comprising of a simple switched-capacitor filter followed by a 15-bit
sigma-delta ADC. The data is available on a 16-bit serial interface,
interfacing easily to most DSPs. On-board digital filters, which
form part of the sigma-delta ADCs, also perform system level
filtering. A choice of two digital filter responses are available,
optimized for either
π
/4 DQPSK digital mode or the existing analog
cellular system. For digital mode, Root-Raised Cosine digital filters
can be selected; whereas for analog mode, digital filters with a
–3 dB point of 11.4 kHz can be selected. Their amplitude and
phase response characteristics provide excellent adjacent channel
rejection. A means is also provided to calibrate either on-chip or
receive path offsets in both the I and Q channels. The receive
section is also provided with a low power sleep mode, drawing only
minimal current between receive bursts.
Switched Capacitor Input
The receive section analog front-end is sampled at MCLK/4 by a
switched-capacitor filter. The filter has a zero at MCLK/8 as
shown in Figure 8a. The receive channel also contains a digital
low-pass filter (further details are contained in the following
section) which operates at a clock frequency of MCLK/8. Due to
the sampling nature of the digital filter, the pass band is repeated
about the operating clock frequency (MCLK/8) and at multiples of
the clock frequency (Figure 8b). Because the first null of the
switched-capacitor filter coincides with the first image of the digital
filter, this image is attenuated by an additional 30 dBs (Figure 8c)
further simplifying the external antialiasing requirements. A simple
R-C Network can be used to attenuate the digital filter image at
MCLK/8 as shown in Figure 9.

Receive Channel Differential Inputs
The receive channel uses differential inputs to interface more easily
to IQ demodulators and also to provide common-mode noise
rejection. However, if required the receive channel inputs can also
be configured for single ended operation. The primary and
auxiliary channels have similar performance and either can be used
for differential operation or single-ended operation. The CR12
control bit determines whether the primary or auxiliary inputs are
connected to the differential inputs of the sigma-delta modulator.
Figure 9 illustrates an antialiasing filter comprised of a single pole
RC network with a –3 dB frequency of 159 kHz. The low-pass
filter provides sufficient rejection at images of the FIR digital filter
illustrated in Figure 10c.
For single ended operation, the inverting input should be con-
nected to a bias voltage and the noninverting input should swing
±
1.3 V around this bias voltage in order to exercise the entire ADC
range. In applications where the full
±
1.3 V range is not required,
the on-chip 1.23 V reference can be used to provide the bias
voltage. For instance as in Figure 10, an OP295 rail-to-rail low
power op amp is used to buffer the BYPASS pin in order to
generate a 1.23 V
BIAS
. The V
BIAS
is connected to the inverting input
thereby setting the single-ended input range equal to 0 V to 2.46 V.
Also with the addition of an attenuator circuit the input range can
be expanded to 0 V to 4.92 V as shown on the second ADC
channel. If the inverting input is tied to AGND, then only half the
ADC range is available.
