PRODUCTION DATA
Each DAC output in the DAC38RFxx is supported by a dual band digital upconverter (DUC), which is called a multi-DUC.Figure 7-13 shows the signal processing features of each of the two multi-DUCs. The two paths are identical and independent. The SPI interface registers for the multi-DUCs are addressed through paging, with page 0 supporting multi-DUC1 and page 1 supporting multi-DUC2. Register PAGE_SET (7.5.8) is used to set the pages. Both pages can be selected at the same time to program both multi-DUCs simultaneously with the same settings.
Each multi-DUC has 2 DUC channels, called path AB and path CD. The output of one multi-DUC can be added to the signal of the other multi-DUC to allow a configuration with 4 total DUCs summed together for 1 DAC. After quadrature modulation is a sin(x)/x compensation filter, followed by the multiband summation block. The multi-band summation block had the ability to add the signals from the other multi-DUC for a combined 4 DUCs, each with independent frequency control. The final block is an output delay block with 0 – 15 sample range.
