The complex digital mixers in the AFE79XX DDC and DUC include digital quadrature modulator (DQM) blocks with independent Numerically Controlled Oscillator (NCO) or NCOs. The NCOs convert the complex input signal to a real output signal with flexible frequency placement between 0 and fDAC / 2, where fDAC is the DAC sampling clock frequency. The NCOs have a 32-bit frequency accumulator value that generates the sine and cosine terms for the complex mixing. Figure 3-1 shows the NCO block diagram.
