Figure 71. Frequency of Clock Mixing Spurious Images in X4 and X4L Modes
Figure 72 shows the location of spurious signals for X8 mode as a function of f
SIG
/f
DAC
. The addition of the f
DAC
/8
clock frequency for the first interpolation filter creates four new spurious signals. For a complex output, the
nearest spurious signals are f
DAC
/8 offset from f
SIG
. For a real output, the optimum real output frequencies f
SIG
=
f
DAC
× N/16 (N = 3 and 5), where the minimum spurious product offset from f
SIG
is f
DAC
/8.
Figure 72. Frequency of Clock Mixing Spurious Images in X8 Mode
The spurious signal amplitude is sensitive to factors such as temperature, voltage, and process. The following
typical worst-case estimates to account for the variation over these factors are provided as design guidelines.
