7.3.6.2.1.2 Numerically Controlled Oscillator (NCO)

Each DUC has its own NCO block that is capable of phase continuous frequency hopping and phase coherent frequency hopping through a NCO with 64-bit frequency and 16-bit phase words. The NCO provides the complex continuous wave signal that is used for the complex mixing operation. The NCOs can also be used in DDS SPI mode with a constant input to generate tones.

The NCO has a worst case SFDR < -96dBc when the frequency is set exactly to (2*N - 1)/32 or (2*N+1)/64 (N is an integer). For other frequencies the worst case SFDR is < -105dBc.

The NCO update modes are either Phase-continuous (see Phase-continuous NCO Update Mode), Phase-coherent (see Phase-coherent NCO Update Mode or Phase-sync (see Phase-sync NCO Update Mode). If only a single NCO frequency is required (no frequency hopping) then select the Phase Continuous NCO.

The NCO frequency is written to the NCO frequency word register setting through the standard SPI interface or through the fast reconfiguration interface (FRI). The frequency update occurs once triggered by the chosen trigger source selected by TRIG_TYPEn. Available trigger sources are a SPI register, the SYSREF signal, replacing the LSB of the I input signal with a sync signal, a TRIG pin or the rising edge of FRCS when the FRI is used.
