SLAS748G March 2011 – January 2024 DAC3482
PRODUCTION DATA
In addition to the full complex mixer, the DAC3482 also has a coarse mixer block capable of shifting the input signal spectrum by the fixed mixing frequencies ±n×fS/8. Using the coarse mixer instead of the full mixer lowers power consumption.
The output of the fs/2, fs/4, and –fs/4 mixer block is:
Since the sine and the cosine terms are a function of fs/2, fs/4, or –fs/4 mixing frequencies, the possible resulting value of the terms will only be 1, -1, or 0. The simplified mathematics allows the complex signal multiplier to be bypassed in any one of the modes, thus mixer gain is not available. The fs/2, fs/4, and –fs/4 mixer blocks performs mixing through negating and swapping of I/Q channel on certain sequence of samples. Table 6-7 shows the algorithm used for those mixer blocks.
MODE | MIXING SEQUENCE |
---|---|
Normal (mixer bypassed) | Iout = {+I1, +I2, +I3, +I4…} |
Qout = {+Q1, +Q2, +Q3, +Q4…} | |
fs/2 | Iout = {+I1, -I2, +I3, -I4…} |
Qout = {+Q1, -Q2, +Q3, -Q4…} | |
fs/4 | Iout = {+I1, -Q2, -I3, +Q4…} |
Qout = {+Q1, +I2, -Q3, -I4…} | |
-fs/4 | Iout = {+I1, +Q2, -I3, -Q4…} |
Qout = {+Q1, -I2, -Q3, +I4…} |
The fs/8 mixer can be enabled along with various combinations of fs/2, fs/4, and –fs/4 mixer. Since the fs/8 mixer uses the complex signal multiplier block with fixed fs/8 sine and cosine term, the output of the multiplier is:
where fCMIX is the fixed mixing frequency selected by cmix(3:0). The mixing combinations are described in Table 6-8. The mixer_gain option allows the output signals of the multiplier to reduce by half (6dB). See Section 6.3.7.3 for detail.
