7.3.6 Digital Signal Processing Blocks

The digital signal processing blocks are shown in Figure 7-13. The device includes four digital up-converter (DUC) blocks supporting four complex (IQ) input streams that can be combined at different RF frequencies. The four DUCs can be flexibly assigned and summed together for either DAC output in the channel bonder. The final signal processing block is a extra interpolate by 2 filter for use with DES2XL/H mode.

Table 7-5 and Table 7-6 list the available modes for single channel and dual channel outputs, respectively.

110Real0x1DES1xSingle channel mode with dual-edge samples w/o interpolation (DES1X). The JESD204C interface provides all samples (no interpolation).
2, 4, 6 or 82-256x1Real0x1, 0x3, 0x7, 0xFNRZ, RTZ, RF, DES2x1-4 DUC channels with single real output DAC_SRC0 settings are for 1, 2, 3, or 4 DUC channels respectively.
These modes only produce one output signal, so only one DAC is required. The table shows the programming to use DACA (MXMODE1 should be set to disabled). The user may elect to use DACB instead by programming DAC_SRC1 and MXMODE1 (and setting MXMODE0 to disabled). The user may also program DAC_SRC1=DAC_SRC0 and MXMODE1=MXMODE0 and then tie the DAC outputs together to get more output power.

These modes produce two output signals (and uses both DACs). The user may elect to swap the values programmed into DAC_SRC0 and DAC_SRC1 to swap the output signals. Typically MXMODE0 and MXMODE1 are set to the same setting, however this is not required.
