integrators are slightly oversized to reduce the quantization
noise at each stage.
A CIC filter has a gain of R
and N is the number of stages. Because the CIC filter gain
can become very large with decimation, an attenuator is
provided ahead of the CIC to prevent overflow. The 24 bits of
sample data are placed on the low 24 bits of a 69 bit bus
(width of the first CIC integrator) for a gain of 2
barrel shifter then provides a gain of 2
before passing the data to the CIC. The overall gain in the
pre-CIC attenuator can therefore be programmed to be any
one of 48 values from 2
bits 19:14). This shift factor is adjusted to keep the total
barrel shifter and CIC filter gain between 0.5 and 1.0. The

CIC barrel shifts of greater than 45 will cause MSB bits to be
lost. Most of the floating point modes on the ISL5216 make
use of the CIC barrel shifter for gain. This limits the
maximum usable decimation. In particular, shift factor minus
maximum exponent must be greater than or equal to zero.
Maximum exponent ranges from 0 to 1, 3, or 7 for 1, 2 and 3
exponent bits, representing up to 6, 18, or 42dB of gain,
respectively. See Floating Point Input Mode section for
details.
