7.3.5.5 Digital Down Converter (DDC)

The ADC32RF7x includes 8 digital down converters (DDCs) with independent NCOs. Each DDC supports base decimation factors of 2, 3 or 5 with decimation ratios from /2 to /32768 (/3 .. /96 and /5... /80). The maximum decimation setting allowed is dependent on sampling rate, number of DDCs, sample repeat factor (only with factors of 2) and the JESD output resolution 'N' due to the 4Gbps minimum SERDES lane rate required by the device. Additionally, the final /2 stage supports programmable coefficients.

A crossbar mux is used to connect any DDC input to any ADC or the output of the 2x averaging block. The ADC32RF7x DDCs can be configured to have independent decimation factors (binary factors only).

Real and complex decimation is supported and the passband is approximately 80% of the decimated bandwidth.
