THEORY OF OPERATION
ADC ARCHITECTURE
The AD6657 architecture consists of quad front-end sample-
and-hold circuits, followed by pipelined, switched-capacitor
ADCs. The quantized outputs from each stage are combined
into a final 14-bit result in the digital correction logic. Alter-
nately, the 14-bit result can be processed through the noise
shaping requantizer (NSR) block before it is sent to the digital
correction logic.
The pipelined architecture permits the first stage to operate on
a new input sample and the remaining stages to operate on the
preceding samples. Sampling occurs on the rising edge of the clock.
Each stage of the pipeline, excluding the last, consists of a low
resolution flash ADC connected to a switched-capacitor digital-
to-analog converter (DAC) and an interstage residue amplifier
(MDAC). The residue amplifier magnifies the difference between
the reconstructed DAC output and the flash input for the next
stage in the pipeline. One bit of redundancy is used in each stage
to facilitate digital correction of flash errors. The last stage
simply consists of a flash ADC.
The input stage of each channel contains a differential sampling
circuit that can be ac- or dc-coupled in differential or single-
ended modes. The output staging block aligns the data, corrects
errors, and passes the data to the output buffers. The output
buffers are powered from a separate supply, allowing adjust-
ment of the output drive current. During power-down, the
output buffers go into a high impedance state.
The AD6657 quad IF receiver can simultaneously digitize four
channels, making it ideal for diversity reception and digital pre-
distortion (DPD) observation paths in telecommunication
systems.
Synchronization capability is provided to allow synchronized
timing between multiple channels or multiple devices.
Programming and control of the AD6657 are accomplished
using a 3-wire SPI-compatible serial interface.
ANALOG INPUT CONSIDERATIONS
The analog input to the AD6657 is a differential switched-
capacitor circuit that has been designed for optimum
performance while processing a differential input signal.
The clock signal alternatively switches the input between sample
mode and hold mode (see Figure 29). When the input is switched
to sample mode, the signal source must be capable of charging
the sample capacitors and settling within 1/2 of a clock cycle.
Rev. B | Page 16 of 32
A small resistor in series with each input can help reduce the
peak transient current required from the output stage of the
driving source. A shunt capacitor can be placed across the
inputs to provide dynamic charging currents. This passive
network creates a low-pass filter at the ADC input; therefore,
the precise values are dependent on the application.
In intermediate frequency (IF) undersampling applications,
any shunt capacitors should be reduced. In combination with
the driving source impedance, the shunt capacitors limit the
input bandwidth. For more information on this subject, see
Application Note AN-742, Frequency Domain Response of
Switched-Capacitor ADCs; Application Note AN-827, A Resonant
Approach to Interfacing Amplifiers to Switched-Capacitor ADCs;
and the Analog Dialogue article, “Transformer-Coupled Front-End
for Wideband A/D Converters” (see www.analog.com).
For best dynamic performance, the source impedances driving
the VIN+ and VIN− pins should be matched.
An internal differential reference buffer creates positive and
negative reference voltages that define the input span of the ADC
core. The span of the ADC core is set by this buffer to 2 × V
Input Common Mode
The analog inputs of the AD6657 are not internally dc biased.
In ac-coupled applications, the user must provide this bias
externally. An on-board common-mode voltage reference is
included in the design and is available from the VCMx pins.
Optimum performance is achieved when the common-mode
voltage of the analog input is set by the VCMx pin voltage
(typically 0.5 × AVDD). The VCMx pins must be decoupled
to ground by a 0.1 μF capacitor.
