Treating the two complex channels as complex vectors of the form I(t) + j Q(t), the outputs of the coarse mixer is

Where fCMIX_AB and fCMIX_CD and the fixed mixing frequency selected by fields CMIX_AB or CMIX_CD in register

CMIX (7.5.21). The coarse mixer blocks are disabled by setting CMIX_AB and CMIX_CD to 0x0.

The NCO and coarse mixers can be enabled simultaneously, although this is not useful in most cases as the full

frequency range can be covered by the NCO.

7.3.16.6 Inverse Sinc Filter

The DAC38RFxx have a 9-tap inverse Sinc filter (INVSINC) that runs at the DAC update rate (fDAC) that can be

used to flatten the frequency response of the sample-and-hold output. The DAC sample-and-hold output sets the

output current and holds it constant for one DAC clock cycle until the next sample, resulting in the well known

sin(x)/x or Sinc(x) frequency response (Figure 7-23, red line). The inverse sinc filter response (Figure 7-23, blue

line) has the opposite frequency response from 0 to 0.4 x fDAC, resulting in the combined response (Figure 7-23,

green line). Between 0 to 0.4 x fDAC, the inverse sinc filter compensates the sample-and-hold roll-off with less

than 0.03 dB error.

The inverse sinc filter has a gain > 1 at all frequencies. Therefore, the signal input to INVSINC must be

reduced from full scale to prevent saturation in the filter. The amount of back-off required depends on the signal

frequency, and is set such that at the signal frequencies the combination of the input signal and filter response is

less than 1 (0 dB). For example, if the signal input to INVSINC is at 0.25 x fDAC, the response of INVSINC is 0.9

dB, and the signal must be backed off from full scale by 0.9 dB to avoid saturation. The advantage of INVSINC

having a positive gain at all frequencies is that the user is then able to optimize the back-off of the signal based

on its frequency.

The inverse Sinc filters are enabled by field ISFIR_ENA in register MULTIDUC_CFG1 (9.5.9).

7.3.16.7 Summation Block for Dual DUC Modes

When using the dual DUC modes, the outputs of the two AQM blocks are summed together to form a composite

signal for the DAC output, configured by field OUTSUM_SEL in register OUTSUM (7.5.22). The input signals to

the DUCs much be scaled such that the signal does not exceed fullscale during summation. This field can also

be configures to add the signals from the adjacent multi-DUC to enable a four DUC signal.
