analog input is permitted, but at the expense of increased AD
distortion.
In nondiversity applications, up to four GSM/EDGE-type
carriers may be concurrently processed from the ADC stage.
Wideband signals, such as WCDMA/CDMA2000, require the
power of two AD6652 processing channels per carrier to
adequately remove adjacent channel interference. When
diversity techniques are employed, the number of carriers t
may be processed is halved due to the
requirement of diversity reception.
Flexible channel multiplexing in the digital downconverter
(DDC) stage allows one to four channels to be interleave
one output port. Four synchronization input pins allow startup
frequency hop, and AGC functions to be precisely orchestr
with other devices. The NCO’s phase can be set to produce a
known offset relative to another channel or device.

ADC ARCHITECTURE
The AD6652 front-end consists of two high performance, 12-b
ADCs, preceded by differential sample-and-hold amplifiers
(SHA) that provide excellent SNR performance from dc to
200 MHz. A flexible, integrated voltage reference allows analog
inputs up to 2 V p-p. Each channel is equipped with an
overrange pin that toggles high whenever the analog inpu
exceeds the upper or lower reference v
age for channel distribution. The ADC data outputs are not
directly accessible to the use
Each sample-and-hold amplifier (SHA) is followed by a pipe-
lined switched capacitor ADC. The pipelined ADC is divided
into three sections, consisting of a 4-bit first stage followed by
eight 1.5-bit stages and a final 3-bit flash. Each stage provid

stages. The quantized outputs from each stage are combined
into a final 12-bit result in the digital correction logic. The

Analog Input Operation
The analog inputs to the AD6652 are differential switched
capacitor SHAs that have been designed for optimum
performance while processing differential input signals. The
AD6652 accepts inputs over a
however, an input common-mode voltage, Vcm, of AVDD/2 is
recommended to maintain optimal performance and to
minimize signal-dependent errors.
Referring to
Figure 31, the clock signal alternatively switches the
SHA between sample mode and hold mode. When the S

of a clock cycle. A small resistor in series with each input can
help reduce the peak transient current required from the output
stage of the driving source. Also, a small shunt capacitor can be
placed across the inputs to provide dyna

input; therefore, the precise values are dependent upon the
application. In IF undersampling applications, any shunt cap
tors should be removed. In combination with the driving source
impedance, the shunt capacitors would limit the input
bandwidth.
