PRODUCTION DATA.
The sinc filter is a variable decimation rate, fifth-order, low-pass filter. Data are supplied to this section of the filter from the modulator at the rate of fMOD = fCLK / 4 (high-resolution mode) or fMOD = fCLK / 8 (low-power mode). The sinc filter attenuates high-frequency noise produced by the modulator and also reduces the data rate (decimation ratio) in proportion to the amount of filtering. The decimation ratio of the sinc filter effects the overall data rate of the converter. The sinc and sinc + FIR filter mode data rates are programmed by the DR[2:0] register bits. The sinc filter mode data rates are shown in Table 9.
DR[2:0] REGISTER | DECIMATION RATIO (N) | DATA RATE (SPS) | |
---|---|---|---|
HIGH-RESOLUTION MODE | LOW-POWER MODE | ||
000 | 128 | 64 | 8,000 |
001 | 64 | 32 | 16,000 |
010 | 32 | 16 | 32,000 |
011 | 16 | 8 | 64,000 |
100 | 8 | 4 | 128,000 |
Equation 9 shows the scaled Z-domain transfer function of the sinc filter.

Equation 10 shows the frequency domain transfer function of the sinc filter.

The sinc filter has notches (or zeros) that occur at the output data rate and multiples thereof. At these frequencies, the filter has zero gain. Figure 44 shows the frequency response of the sinc filter and Figure 45 shows the roll-off of the sinc filter.
