ADC OVERRANGE AND FAST DETECT

In receiver applications, it is desirable to have a mechanism to

reliably determine when the converter is about to be clipped.

The standard overrange pin outputs information on the state of

the analog input. It is also helpful to have a programmable

threshold below full scale that allows time to reduce the gain

before the clip actually occurs. In addition, because input

signals can have significant slew rates, the latency of this

function is of major concern. Highly pipelined converters can

have significant latency. The AD9684 contains fast detect

circuitry for individual channels to monitor the threshold and

assert the FD_A and FD_B pins.

ADC OVERRANGE

The ADC overrange indicator is asserted when an overrange is

detected on the input of the ADC. The overrange indicator can

be output on the STATUS± pins (when CSB > 0). The latency of

this overrange indicator matches the sample latency.

The AD9684 also records any overrange condition in any of the

four virtual converters. The overrange status of each virtual

converter is registered as a sticky bit in Register 0x563. The

contents of Register 0x563 can be cleared using Register 0x562,

by toggling the bits corresponding to the virtual converter to set

and reset the position.

FAST THRESHOLD DETECTION (FD_A AND FD_B)

The fast detect (FD) bit (enabled via the control bits in

of the input signal exceeds the programmable upper threshold

level. The FD bit is cleared only when the absolute value of the

input signal drops below the lower threshold level for greater

than the programmable dwell time. This feature provides

hysteresis and prevents the FD bit from excessively toggling.

The operation of the upper threshold and lower threshold

registers, along with the dwell time registers, is shown in

Figure 56.

The FD_x indicator is asserted if the input magnitude exceeds

the value programmed in the fast detect upper threshold

registers, in Register 0x247 and Register 0x248. The selected

threshold register is compared with the signal magnitude at the

output of the ADC. The fast upper threshold detection has a

latency of 28 clock cycles (maximum). The approximate upper

threshold magnitude is defined by

Upper Threshold Magnitude (dBFS) = 20log(Threshold

Magnitude/213)

The FD indicators are not cleared until the signal drops below

the lower threshold for the programmed dwell time. The lower

threshold is programmed in the fast detect lower threshold

registers, in Register 0x249 and Register 0x24A. The fast detect

lower threshold register is a 13-bit register that is compared with

the signal magnitude at the output of the ADC. This

comparison is subject to the ADC pipeline latency, but is

accurate in terms of converter resolution. The lower threshold

magnitude is defined by

Lower Threshold Magnitude (dBFS) = 20log(Threshold

Magnitude/213)

For example, to set an upper threshold of −6 dBFS, write 0xFFF

to Register 0x247 and Register 0x248. To set a lower threshold

of −10 dBFS, write 0xA1D to Register 0x249 and Register 0x24A.

The dwell time can be programmed from 1 to 65,535 sample

clock cycles by placing the desired value in the fast detect dwell

time registers, in Register 0x24B and Register 0x24C. See the

Memory Map section (Register 0x040, and Register 0x245 to
