When the fast detect mode select bits are set to 0b001, 0b010, or

0b011, a subset of the fast detect output pins is available. In these

modes, the fast detect output pins have a latency of six clock cycles.

Table 19 shows the corresponding ADC input levels when the

fast detect mode select bits are set to 0b001 (that is, when ADC fast

magnitude is presented on the FD[3:1] pins).

When the fast detect mode select bits are set to 0b010 or 0b011

(that is, when ADC fast magnitude is presented on the FD[3:2]

pins), the LSB is not provided. The input ranges for this mode

are shown in Table 20.

ADC OVERRANGE (OR)

The ADC overrange indicator is asserted when an overrange is

detected on the input of the ADC. The overrange condition is

determined at the output of the ADC pipeline and, therefore, is

subject to a latency of 12 ADC clock cycles. An overrange at the

input is indicated by this bit 12 clock cycles after it occurs.

GAIN SWITCHING

The AD9640 includes circuitry that is useful in applications either

where large dynamic ranges exist or where gain ranging converters

are employed. This circuitry allows digital thresholds to be set

such that an upper threshold and a lower threshold can be

programmed. Fast detect mode select bit = 010 through fast

detect mode select bit = 101 support various combinations of the

gain switching options.

One such use is to detect when an ADC is about to reach full

scale with a particular input condition. The result is to provide

an indicator that can be used to quickly insert an attenuator that

prevents ADC overdrive.

Coarse Upper Threshold (C_UT)

The coarse upper threshold indicator is asserted if the ADC fast

magnitude input level is greater than the level programmed in

the coarse upper threshold register (Address 0x105[2:0]). The

coarse upper threshold output is output two clock cycles after the

level is exceeded at the input and, therefore, provides a fast indi-

cation of the input signal level. The coarse upper threshold levels

are listed in Table 21. This indicator remains asserted for a

minimum of two ADC clock cycles or until the signal drops

below the threshold level.

Fine Upper Threshold (F_UT)

The fine upper threshold indicator is asserted if the input

magnitude exceeds the value programmed in the fine upper

threshold register located in Register 0x106 and Register 0x107.

The 13-bit threshold register is compared with the signal magni-

tude at the output of the ADC. This comparison is subject to the

ADC clock latency but is accurate in terms of the converter

resolution. The fine upper threshold magnitude is defined by

the following equation:

dBFS = 20 log(Threshold Magnitude/213)

Fine Lower Threshold (F_LT)

The fine lower threshold indicator is asserted if the input

magnitude is less than the value programmed in the fine lower

threshold register located at Register 0x108 and Register 0x109.

The fine 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 ADC clock latency but is accurate

in terms of the converter resolution. The fine lower threshold

magnitude is defined by the following equation:

dBFS = 20 log(Threshold Magnitude/213)

The operation of the fine upper threshold indicators and fine

lower threshold indicators is shown in Figure 67.

Increment Gain (IG) and Decrement Gain (DG)

The increment gain and decrement gain indicators are intended

to be used together to provide information to enable external

gain control. The decrement gain indicator works in conjunction

with the coarse upper threshold bits, asserting when the input

magnitude is greater than the 3-bit value in the coarse upper

threshold register (Address 0x105). The increment gain indicator,
