AD9875

For the AD9875, the most significant nibble defaults to six bits

and the least significant nibble defaults to four bits. This can be

changed so that the least significant nibble and most significant

nibble have five bits each. This is done by setting the Rx Port

Width Five Bits bit (Register 8, Bit 1). In all cases, the nibbles

are justified toward Bit 5.

Also, the Rx path can be used in a reduced resolution mode by

setting the Rx Port Multiplexer Bypass bit (Register 8, Bit 0). In

this mode the Rx data word becomes six bits and is read in a

single cycle. The clocking modes are the same as described above,

but the level of Rx SYNC will stay low.

The Rx[5:0] pins can be put into a high impedance state by

setting the Three-State Rx Port bit (Register 8, Bit 3).

SERIAL INTERFACE FOR REGISTER CONTROL

The serial port is a three wire serial communications port consisting

of a clock (SCLK), chip select (SENABLE), and a bidirectional

data (SDATA) signal. The interface allows read/write access to

all registers that configure the AD9875 internal parameters.

Single or multiple byte transfers are supported as well as MSB

first or LSB first transfer formats.

General Operation of the Serial Interface

Serial communication over the serial interface can be from 1 to

5 bytes in length. The first byte is always the instruction byte.

The instruction byte establishes whether the communication is

going to be a read or write access, the number of data bytes to

be transferred and the address of the first register to be accessed.

The instruction byte transfer is complete immediately upon the

eighth rising edge of SCLK after SENABLE is asserted. Like-

wise, the data registers change immediately upon writing to the

eighth bit of each data byte.

Instruction Byte

The instruction byte contains the following information as

shown below:

LSB

Bits I4:I0 – A4:A0

These bits determine which register is accessed during the data

transfer portion of the communications cycle. For multibyte

transfers, this address is the starting byte address. The remain-

ing register addresses are generated by the AD9875.

Serial Interface Port Pin Description

SCLK—Serial Clock

The serial clock pin is used to synchronize data transfers to and

from the AD9875 and to run the internal state machines. SCLK

maximum frequency is 25 MHz. All data transmitted to the

AD9875 is sampled on the rising edge of SCLK. All data read

from the AD9875 is validated on the rising edge of SCLK and is

updated on the falling edge.

SENABLE—Serial Interface Enable

The SENABLE pin is active low. It enables the serial communi-

cation to the device. SENABLE select should stay low during

the entire communication cycle. All input on the serial port is

ignored when SENABLE is inactive.

SDATA—Serial Data I/O

The signal on this line is sampled on the first eight rising edges

of SCLK after SENABLE goes active. Data is then read from or

written to the AD9875 depending on what was read.

Figures 8 and 9 show the timing relationships between the three

SPI signals.

DATA BIT n–1

Bit I7 – R/W

This bit determines whether a read or a write data transfer will

occur after the instruction byte write. Logic high indicates read

operation; logic zero indicates a write operation.

Bits I6:I5 – N1:N0

These two bits determine the number of bytes to be transferred

during the data transfer cycle. The bit decodes are shown in the

table below:

MSB/LSB Transfers

The AD9875 serial port can support both most significant bit

(MSB) first or least significant bit (LSB) first data formats. The

bit order is controlled by the SPI LSB First bit (Register 0, Bit 6).

The default is value is 0, MSB first. Multibyte data transfers in

MSB format can be completed by writing an instruction byte

that includes the register address of the last address to be accessed.

The AD9875 will automatically decrement the address for each

successive byte required for the multibyte communication cycle.

When the SPI LSB First bit (Register 0, Bit 6) is set high, the

serial port interprets both instruction and data bytes LSB first.

Multibyte data transfers in LSB format can be completed by

writing an instruction byte that includes the register address of

the first address to be accessed. The AD9875 will automatically

increment the address for each successive byte required for the

multibyte communication cycle.
