Digital Down Converter (DDC)
The digital samples from the ADC are mixed down to
baseband I and Q signals in the Digital Down
Converter (DDC) block. The input analog signal is sub-
sampled at the rate set by the receive crystal oscillator
or a clock applied directly to the RXOSCIN input. The
resultant sub-sampled input signalÕs spectrum is
aliased to a lower frequency. In typical cases, with a 44
MHz
_
3 MHz input and a 25 MHz sample rate, the
digital signal appears to the input of the DDC as a 6
MHz
_
3 MHz signal. For a 36 MHz
_
4 MHz input and
a 29 MHz sample rate, the digital signal appears to the
input of the DDC as a 7 MHz
_
4 MHz signal. Other
input frequencies and sample rates are also possible.
The digital signal is down converted to baseband I and
Q by mixing with cos 2

t where f
c
is the
center frequency of the digital signal.
The Digital Down Converter contains a numerically
controlled oscillator (NCO) with cosine and sine
outputs, a pair of mixers, and an image filter. The
frequency f
c
is a combination of a starting value that is
set using DeltaTheta_in [13:0] (bits 7-2 of Bank 0
Register 10
H
and Bank 0 Register 11
H
) and any
frequency error terms computed by the Automatic
Frequency Control block. The value for DeltaTheta_in
[13:0] is given by:
DeltaTheta_in [13:0] = f
c
/ADC sample rate

For f
c
= 6 MHz and ADC sample rate = 25 MHz,
DeltaTheta_in [13:0] = 0F5C
H
For f
c
= 7 MHz and ADC sample rate = 29 MHz,
DeltaTheta_in [13:0] = 0F73
H
The complex NCO drives a pair of multipliers which
serve as mixers. The products of the ADC samples and
the sine and cosine outputs of the NCO produce the
desired baseband I and Q signals plus undesired higher
frequency image terms. These higher frequency terms
are removed by an image filter.
Automatic Frequency control (AFC)
The STEL-2176 can accommodate up to
±
200 kHz
uncertainty in the carrier frequency. The carrier
frequency recovery is divided into two steps. The first
step is a coarse frequency estimation during initial
signal acquisition. This estimation is performed by the
AFC section. The estimated carrier frequency offset is
calculated by the AFC and fed to the DDC NCO.
AGC
The AGC takes the output from the Image Filter in the
DDC and estimates the power of the signal. The AGC
discriminator compares the estimate to one or two
different thresholds that can be set via the registers
values AGC
_
ThresholdA (Bank 0 Register 14
H
) and
AGC
_
ThresholdB (Bank 0 Register 15
H
). Thresholds
should be set to optimize ADC performance. The range
of the AGC`s power thresholds is 0 to 128 (2
8-1
). For 256-
QAM, the value ranges from about 75 to 100 (default is
96), depending on the desired A/D clipping level. The
trade off for selecting the value weighs occasional ADC
clipping with a large input versus loss of signal fidelity
with a small input. The power of the input signal
depends upon adjacent channel interference, AM hum,
burst noise, etc.
The AGC generates two 1-bit outputs OUTA and OUTB
that indicate whether that the input analog signal is too
high or too low. The OUTA and OUTB signals should
be smoothed using low pass filters.
These filters can
each be a series resistor of ___ ohms and a shunt
capacitor of ___
_
F.
OUTA and OUTB can be set to
have a logic high voltage of either 3.3V or 5V. For 3.3V
operation, connect the power source's +3.3V output to
pins 31 and 32 and its return to V
SS
. For 5V operation,
connect the power source's +5V output to pin 31 and its
return to pin 32 and V
SS
.
The polarity of OUTA and OUTB may be controlled
with AGC
_
InvertOutputA (bit 0 of Bank 0 Register 12
H
)
and AGC
_
InvertOutputB (bit 1 of Bank 0 Register 12H).
For variable gain stages where a higher control voltage
at the input to the filter produces higher gain, set the
AGC_InvertOutput bit to 0. For variable gain stages
