THEORY OF OPERATION
To gain a general understanding of the AD9879, refer to the
block diagram of the device architecture in Figure 3. The
device consists of a transmit path, receive path, and auxiliary
functions, such as a DPLL, a Σ-Δ DAC, a serial control port,
and a cable amplifier interface.
TRANSMIT PATH
The transmit path contains an interpolation filter, a complete
quadrature digital upconverter, an inverse sinc filter, and a
12-bit current output DAC. The maximum output current of
the DAC is set by an external resistor. The Tx output PGA
provides additional transmit signal level control.
The transmit path interpolation filter provides an upsampling
factor of 16 with an output signal bandwidth as high as
5.8 MHz. Carrier frequencies up to 65 MHz with 26 bits of
frequency tuning resolution can be generated by the direct
digital synthesizer (DDS).

The transmit DAC resolution is 12 bits and can run at sampling
rates as high as 232 MSPS. Analog output scaling from 0.0 dB
to 7.5 dB in 0.5 dB steps is available to preserve SNR when
reduced output levels are required.
DATA ASSEMBLER
The AD9879 data path operates on two 12-bit words, the I and
Q components, which compose a complex symbol. The data
assembler builds the 24-bit complex symbols from four
consecutive 6-bit nibbles read over the TxIQ[5:0] bus. The
nibbles are strobed synchronous to the master clock, MCLK,
into the data assembler. A high level on TxSYNC signals the
start of a transmit symbol. The first two nibbles of the symbol
form the I component, and the second two nibbles form the Q
component. Symbol components are assumed to be in twos
complement format. The timing of the interface is fully
described in the Transmit Timing section of this data sheet.
