AD9959
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
frequency tuning word, 14 bits of phase offset, and a 10-bit
output scale multiplier.
The AD9959 consists of four direct digital synthesizer (DDS)
cores that provide independent frequency, phase, and amplitude
control on each channel. This flexibility can be used to correct
imbalances between signals due to analog processing, such as
filtering, amplification, or PCB layout-related mismatches.
Because all channels share a common system clock, they are
inherently synchronized. Synchronization of multiple devices
is supported.
The DAC outputs are supply referenced and must be terminated
into AVDD by a resistor or an AVDD center-tapped transformer.
Each DAC has its own programmable reference to enable
different full-scale currents for each channel.
The DDS acts as a high resolution frequency divider with the
REFCLK as the input and the DAC providing the output. The
REFCLK input source is common to all channels and can be
driven directly or used in combination with an integrated
REFCLK multiplier (PLL) up to a maximum of 500 MSPS.
The PLL multiplication factor is programmable from 4 to 20,
in integer steps. The REFCLK input also features an oscillator
circuit to support an external crystal as the REFCLK source.
The crystal must be between 20 MHz and 30 MHz. The crystal
can be used in combination with the REFCLK multiplier.
The AD9959 can perform up to a 16-level modulation of frequency, phase, or amplitude (FSK, PSK, ASK). Modulation is
performed by applying data to the profile pins. In addition, the
AD9959 also supports linear sweep of frequency, phase, or
amplitude for applications such as radar and instrumentation.
The AD9959 serial I/O port offers multiple configurations to
provide significant flexibility. The serial I/O port offers an SPIcompatible mode of operation that is virtually identical to the
SPI operation found in earlier Analog Devices, Inc., DDS products.
Flexibility is provided by four data pins (SDIO_0/SDIO_1/
SDIO_2/SDIO_3) that allow four programmable modes of
serial I/O operation.
The AD9959 comes in a space-saving 56-lead LFCSP package.
The DDS core (AVDD and DVDD pins) is powered by a 1.8 V
supply. The digital I/O interface (SPI) operates at 3.3 V and
requires DVDD_I/O (Pin 49) be connected to 3.3 V.
The AD9959 uses advanced DDS technology that provides low
power dissipation with high performance. The device incorporates
four integrated, high speed 10-bit DACs with excellent wideband
and narrow-band SFDR. Each channel has a dedicated 32-bit
The AD9959 operates over the industrial temperature range of
−40°C to +85°C.

Description
Control Pin for the Oscillator Section. Caution: Do not drive this pin beyond 1.8 V.
When high (1.8 V), the oscillator section is enabled to accept a crystal as the
REF_CLK source. When low, the oscillator section is bypassed.
Connects to the external zero compensation network of the PLL loop filter.
Typically, the network consists of a 0 Ω resistor in series with a 680 pF capacitor
tied to AVDD.
Complementary DAC Output. Terminates into AVDD.
True DAC Output. Terminates into AVDD.

True DAC Output. Terminates into AVDD.
Data pins used for modulation (FSK, PSK, ASK), to start/stop the sweep accumulators
or used to ramp up/ramp down the output amplitude. The data is synchronous to
the SYNC_CLK (Pin 54). The data inputs must meet the setup and hold time
requirements of the SYNC_CLK. The functionality of these pins is controlled by the
profile pin configuration (PPC) bits (FR1[14:12]).
A rising edge transfers data from the serial I/O port buffer to active registers.
I/O_UPDATE is synchronous to the SYNC_CLK (Pin 54). I/O_UPDATE must meet the
setup and hold time requirements of the SYNC_CLK to guarantee a fixed pipeline
delay of data to the DAC output; otherwise, a ±1 SYNC_CLK period of pipeline
uncertainty exists. The minimum pulse width is one SYNC_CLK period.
Active Low Chip Select. Allows multiple devices to share a common I/O bus (SPI).
Serial Data Clock for I/O Operations. Data bits are written on the rising edge of
SCLK and read on the falling edge of SCLK.
3.3 V Digital Power Supply for SPI Port and Digital I/O.
Data Pin SDIO_0 is dedicated to the serial port I/O only.
Data Pin SDIO_1 and Data Pin SDIO_2 can be used for the serial I/O port or used to
initiate a ramp-up/ramp-down (RU/RD) of the DAC output amplitude.
Data Pin SDIO_3 can be used for the serial I/O port or to initiate a ramp-up/ramp-down
(RU/RD) of the DAC output amplitude. In single-bit or 2-bit modes, SDIO_3 is used
for SYNC_I/O. If the SYNC_I/O function is not used, tie to ground or Logic 0. Do not
let SDIO_3 float in single-bit or 2-bit modes.
The SYNC_CLK runs at one-fourth the system clock rate; it can be disabled. I/O_UPDATE
or data (Pin 40 to Pin 43) is synchronous to the SYNC_CLK. To guarantee a fixed pipeline
delay of data to DAC output, I/O_UPDATE or data (Pin 40 to Pin 43) must meet the
setup and hold time requirements to the rising edge of SYNC_CLK; otherwise, a ±1
SYNC_CLK period of uncertainty occurs.

THEORY OF OPERATION
DDS CORE
DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG CONVERTER
The AD9959 has four DDS cores, each consisting of a 32-bit
phase accumulator and phase-to-amplitude converter. Together,
these digital blocks generate a digital sine wave when the phase
accumulator is clocked and the phase increment value (frequency
tuning word) is greater than 0. The phase-to-amplitude converter
simultaneously translates phase information to amplitude
information by a cos(θ) operation.
The AD9959 incorporates four 10-bit current output DACs.
The DAC converts a digital code (amplitude) into a discrete
analog quantity. The DAC current outputs can be modeled as a
current source with high output impedance (typically 100 kΩ).
Unlike many DACs, these current outputs require termination
into AVDD via a resistor or a center-tapped transformer for
expected current flow.
The output frequency (fOUT) of each DDS channel is a function
of the rollover rate of each phase accumulator. The exact
relationship is given in the following equation:
Each DAC has complementary outputs that provide a combined
full-scale output current (IOUT + IOUT). The outputs always sink
f OUT =
(FTW )( f S )
2 32
where:
fS is the system clock rate.
FTW is the frequency tuning word and is 0 ≤ FTW ≤ 231.
232 represents the phase accumulator capacity.
current, and their sum equals the full-scale current at any point
in time. The full-scale current is controlled by means of an
external resistor (RSET) and the scalable DAC current control
bits discussed in the Modes of Operation section. The resistor,
RSET, is connected between the DAC_RSET pin and analog
ground (AGND). The full-scale current is inversely proportional
to the resistor value as follows:
R SET =
Because all four channels share a common system clock, they
are inherently synchronized.
The DDS core architecture also supports the capability to phase
offset the output signal, which is performed by the channel
phase offset word (CPOW). The CPOW is a 14-bit register that
stores a phase offset value. This value is added to the output of
the phase accumulator to offset the current phase of the output
signal. Each channel has its own phase offset word register. This
feature can be used for placing all channels in a known phase
relationship relative to one another. The exact value of phase
offset is given by the following equation:
18.91
I OUT (max)
The maximum full-scale output current of the combined DAC
outputs is 15 mA, but limiting the output to 10 mA provides
optimal spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) performance.
The DAC output voltage compliance range is AVDD + 0.5 V to
AVDD − 0.5 V. Voltages developed beyond this range may cause
excessive harmonic distortion. Proper attention should be paid
to the load termination to keep the output voltage within its
compliance range. Exceeding this range could potentially damage the DAC output circuitry.

MODES OF OPERATION
There are many combinations of modes (for example, singletone, modulation, linear sweep) that the AD9959 can perform
simultaneously. However, some modes require multiple data
pins, which can impose limitations. The following guidelines
can help determine if a specific combination of modes can be
performed simultaneously by the AD9959.
CHANNEL CONSTRAINT GUIDELINES
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Single-tone mode, two-level modulation mode, and linear
sweep mode can be enabled on any channel and in any
combination at the same time.
Any one or two channels in any combination can perform
four-level modulation. The remaining channels can be in
single-tone mode.
Any channel can perform eight-level modulation. The
three remaining channels can be in single-tone mode.
Any channel can perform 16-level direct modulation. The
three remaining channels can be in single-tone mode.
The RU/RD function can be used on all four channels in
single-tone mode. See the Output Amplitude Control
Mode section for the RU/RD function.
When Profile Pin P2 and Profile Pin P3 are used for RU/RD,
any two channels can perform two-level modulation with
RU/RD or any two channels can perform linear frequency
or phase sweep with RU/RD. The other two channels can
be in single-tone mode.
When Profile Pin P3 is used for RU/RD, any channel can
be used in eight-level modulation with RU/RD. The other
three channels can be in single-tone mode.
When the SDIO_1, SDIO_2, and SDIO_3 pins are used for
RU/RD, any one or two channels, any three channels, or
all four channels can perform two-level modulation with
RU/RD. Any channels not in the two-level modulation can
be in single-tone mode.
When the SDIO_1, SDIO_2, and SDIO_3 pins are used for
RU/RD, any one or two channels can perform four-level
modulation with RU/RD. Any channels not in four-level
modulation can be in single-tone mode.
When the SDIO_1, SDIO_2, and SDIO_3 pins are used for
RU/RD, any channel can perform 16-level modulation with
RU/RD. The other three channels can be in single-tone mode.
Amplitude modulation, linear amplitude sweep modes,
and the RU/RD function cannot operate simultaneously,
but frequency and phase modulation can operate simultaneously as the RU/RD function.
POWER SUPPLIES
The AVDD and DVDD supply pins provide power to the DDS
core and supporting analog circuitry. These pins connect to a
1.8 V nominal power supply.
The DVDD_I/O pin connects to a 3.3 V nominal power supply.
All digital inputs are 3.3 V logic except for the CLK_MODE_SEL
input. CLK_MODE_SEL (Pin 24) is an analog input and should
be operated by 1.8 V logic.
SINGLE-TONE MODE
Single-tone mode is the default mode of operation after a master
reset signal. In this mode, all four DDS channels share a common
address location for the frequency tuning word (Register 0x04)
and phase offset word (Register 0x05). Channel enable bits are
provided in combination with these shared addresses. As a
result, the frequency tuning word and/or phase offset word can
be independently programmed between channels (see the
following Step 1 through Step 5). The channel enable bits do not
require an I/O update to enable or disable a channel.
See the Register Maps and Bit Descriptions section for a
description of the channel enable bits in the channel select
register (CSR, Register 0x00). The channel enable bits are
enabled or disabled immediately after the CSR data byte is
written.
Address sharing enables channels to be written simultaneously,
if desired. The default state enables all channel enable bits.
Therefore, the frequency tuning word and/or phase offset word
is common to all channels but written only once through the
serial I/O port.
The following steps present a basic protocol to program a
different frequency tuning word and/or phase offset word for
each channel using the channel enable bits.
1.
Power up the DUT and issue a master reset. A master reset
places the part in single-tone mode and single-bit mode for
serial programming operations (refer to the Serial I/O Modes
of Operation section). Frequency tuning words and phase
offset words default to 0 at this point.
2.
Enable only one channel enable bit (Register 0x00) and
disable the other channel enable bits.
3.
Using the serial I/O port, program the desired frequency
tuning word (Register 0x04) and/or the phase offset word
(Register 0x05) for the enabled channel.
4.
Repeat Step 2 and Step 3 for each channel.
5.
Send an I/O update signal. After an I/O update, all
channels should output their programmed frequency
and/or phase offset value.

AD9959
REFERENCE CLOCK MODES
The AD9959 supports multiple reference clock configurations
to generate the internal system clock. As an alternative to
clocking the part directly with a high frequency clock source,
the system clock can be generated using the internal, PLL-based
reference clock multiplier. An on-chip oscillator circuit is also
available for providing a low frequency reference signal by
connecting a crystal to the clock input pins. Enabling these
features allows the part to operate with a low frequency clock
source and still provide a high update rate for the DDS and
DAC. However, using the clock multiplier changes the output
phase noise characteristics. For best phase noise performance,
a clean, stable clock with a high slew is required (see Figure 17
and Figure 18).
Enabling the PLL allows multiplication of the reference clock
frequency from 4× to 20×, in integer steps. The PLL multiplication value is represented by a 5-bit multiplier value. These bits
are located in Function Register 1 (FR1, Register 0x01), Bits[22:18]
(see the Register Maps and Bit Descriptions section).
When FR1[22:18] is programmed with values ranging from
4 to 20 (decimal), the clock multiplier is enabled. The integer
value in the register represents the multiplication factor. The
system clock rate with the clock multiplier enabled is equal to
the reference clock rate multiplied by the multiplication factor.
If FR1[22:18] is programmed with a value less than 4 or greater
than 20, the clock multiplier is disabled and the multiplication
factor is effectively 1.
Whenever the PLL clock multiplier is enabled or the multiplication value is changed, time should be allowed to lock the PLL
(typically 1 ms).
Note that the output frequency of the PLL is restricted to a
frequency range of 100 MHz to 500 MHz. However, there is a
VCO gain control bit that must be used appropriately. The VCO
gain control bit defines two ranges (low/high) of frequency
output. The VCO gain control bit defaults to low (see Table 1
for details).
Enabling the on-chip oscillator for crystal operation is performed
by driving CLK_MODE_SEL (Pin 24) to logic high (1.8 V
logic). With the on-chip oscillator enabled, connection of an
external crystal to the REF_CLK and REF_CLK inputs is made,
producing a low frequency reference clock. The frequency of
the crystal must be in the range of 20 MHz to 30 MHz.
Table 4 summarizes the clock modes of operation. See Table 1
for more details.
Reference Clock Input Circuitry
The reference clock input circuitry has two modes of operation
controlled by the logic state of Pin 24 (CLK_MODE_SEL). The
first mode (logic low) configures as an input buffer. In this
mode, the reference clock must be ac-coupled to the input due
to internal dc biasing. This mode supports either differential
or single-ended configurations. If single-ended mode is chosen,
the complementary reference clock input (Pin 22) should be
decoupled to AVDD or AGND via a 0.1 μF capacitor. Figure 33
to Figure 35 exemplify typical reference clock configurations for
the AD9959.

In single-tone mode, the AD9959 offers matched pipeline delay
to the DAC input for all frequency, phase, and amplitude changes.
This avoids having to deal with different pipeline delays between
the three input ports for such applications. The feature is enabled
by asserting the matched pipe delays active bit found in the
channel function register (CFR, Register 0x03). This feature
is available in single-tone mode only.
The charge pump current in the PLL defaults to 75 μA. This
setting typically produces the best phase noise characteristics.
Increasing the charge pump current may degrade phase noise,
but it decreases the lock time and changes the loop bandwidth.

The second mode of operation (Pin 24 = logic high = 1.8 V)
provides an internal oscillator for crystal operation. In this
mode, both clock inputs are dc-coupled via the crystal leads
and are bypassed. The range of crystal frequencies supported is
from 20 MHz to 30 MHz. Figure 35 shows the configuration
for using a crystal.

SCALABLE DAC REFERENCE CURRENT CONTROL
MODE
RSET is common to all four DACs. As a result, the full-scale
currents are equal by default. The scalable DAC reference can
be used to set the full-scale current of each DAC independent
from one another. This is accomplished by using the register
bits CFR[9:8]. Table 5 shows how each DAC can be individually
scaled for independent channel control. This scaling provides
for binary attenuation.

POWER-DOWN FUNCTIONS
The AD9959 supports an externally controlled power-down
feature and the more common software programmable powerdown bits found in previous Analog Devices DDS products.
The software control power-down allows the input clock circuitry, the DAC, and the digital logic (for each separate channel) to
be individually powered down via unique control bits (CFR[7:6]).
These bits are not active when the externally controlled powerdown pin (PWR_DWN_CTL) is high. When the input pin,
PWR_DWN_CTL, is high, the AD9959 enters a power-down
mode based on the FR1[6] bit. When the PWR_DWN_CTL
input pin is low, the external power-down control is inactive.
When FR1[6] = 0 and the PWR_DWN_CTL input pin is high,
the AD9959 is put into a fast recovery power-down mode. In
this mode, the digital logic and the DAC digital logic are powered
down. The DAC bias circuitry, PLL, oscillator, and clock input
circuitry are not powered down.
When the PWR_DWN_CTL input pin is high, the individual
power-down bits (CFR[7:6] and FR1[7]) are invalid (don’t care)
and unused. When the PWR_DWN_CTL input pin is low, the
individual power-down bits control the power-down modes of
operation.
Note that the power-down signals are all designed such that
Logic 1 indicates the low power mode and Logic 0 indicates the
powered-up mode.
MODULATION MODE
The AD9959 can perform 2-/4-/8-/16-level modulation of
frequency, phase, or amplitude. Modulation is achieved by
applying data to the profile pins. Each channel can be programmed separately, but the ability to modulate multiple channels
simultaneously is constrained by the limited number of profile
pins. For instance, 16-level modulation uses all four profile pins,
which inhibits modulation for three channels.
In addition, the AD9959 has the ability to ramp up or ramp
down the output amplitude before, during, or after a modulation
(FSK, PSK only) sequence. This is performed by using the 10-bit
output scalar. If the RU/RD feature is desired, unused profile
pins or unused SDIO_1/SDIO_2/SDIO_3 pins can be configured to initiate the operation. See the Output Amplitude
Control Mode section for more details of the RU/RD feature.
In modulation mode, each channel has its own set of control
bits to determine the type (frequency, phase, or amplitude)
of modulation. Each channel has 16 profile (channel word)
registers for flexibility. Register 0x0A through Register 0x18
are profile registers for modulation of frequency, phase, or
amplitude. Register 0x04, Register 0x05, and Register 0x06
are dedicated registers for frequency, phase, and amplitude,
respectively. These registers contain the first frequency, phase
offset, and amplitude word.
Frequency modulation has 32-bit resolution, phase modulation is
14 bits, and amplitude is 10 bits. When modulating phase or
amplitude, the word value must be MSB aligned in the profile
(channel word) registers and the unused bits are don’t care bits.
Rev. B | Page 21 of 44
AD9959
Because of the number of available channels and limited data
pins, it is necessary to assign the profile pins and/or SDIO_1,
SDIO_2, and SDIO_3 pins to a dedicated channel. This is controlled by the profile pin configuration (PPC) bits (FR1[14:12]).
Each of the following modulation descriptions incorporates
data pin assignments.
In modulation mode, the amplitude frequency phase (AFP)
select bits (CFR[23:22]) and modulation level bits (FR1[9:8])
are programmed to configure the modulation type and level
(see Table 6 and Table 7). Note that the linear sweep enable bit
must be set to Logic 0 in direct modulation mode.

As shown in Table 9, only Profile Pin P0 can be used to modulate

channels are assigned to each other.
When modulating, the RU/RD function can be limited based
on pins available for controlling the feature. The SDIO_x pins
are for RU/RD only, not for modulation.

Channel Word 1 register of Channel 3 are presented to the
output of Channel 3.
If the profile pins are used for RU/RD, Logic 0 is for ramp-up
and Logic 1 is for ramp-down.

Eight-Level Modulation—No RU/RD
For the conditions in Table 12, the profile register chosen is
based on the 4-bit value presented to Profile Pins [P0:P3].
For example, if PPC = X11 and [P0:P3] = 1110, the contents of
the Channel Word 14 register of Channel 3 is presented to the
output of Channel 3.
The modulation level bits (FR1[9:8]) are set to 10 (eight-level).
The AFP select bits (CFR[23:22]) are set to a nonzero value.
The RU/RD bits (FR1[11:10]) and the linear sweep enable bit
(CFR[14]) are disabled. Note that the AFP select bits of the
three channels not being used must be set to 00. Table 11 shows
the assignment of profile pins and channels.
Two-Level Modulation Using Profile Pins for RU/RD
When the RU/RD bits = 01, Profile Pin P2 and Profile Pin P3
are available for RU/RD. Note that only a modulation level of
two is available in this mode. See Table 13 for available pin
assignments.
For the condition in Table 11, the choice of channel word registers
is based on the 3-bit value presented to Profile Pins [P0:P2]. For
example, if PPC = X10 and [P0:P2] = 111, the contents of the
Channel Word 7 register of Channel 2 are presented to the output
of Channel 2.
Eight-Level Modulation Using a Profile Pin for RU/RD
When the RU/RD bits = 10, Profile Pin P3 is available for RU/RD.
Note that only a modulation level of eight is available in this
mode. See Table 14 for available pin assignments.
16-Level Modulation—No RU/RD
The modulation level bits (FR1[9:8]) are set to 11 (16-level). The

type. The RU/RD bits (FR1[11:10]) and the linear sweep enable
bit (CFR[14]) are disabled. The AFP select bits of the three

For the configuration in Table 15, each profile pin is dedicated
to a specific channel. In this case, the SDIO_x pins can be used
for the RU/RD function, as described in Table 16.
Four-Level Modulation Using SDIO Pins for RU/RD
For RU/RD bits = 11 (the SDIO_1 and SDIO_2 pins are available for RU/RD), the modulation level is set to 4. See Table 17
for pin assignments, including SDIO_x pin assignments.
For the configuration shown in Table 17, the profile (channel
word) register is chosen based on the 2-bit value presented to
Profile Pins [P1:P2] or [P3:P4].
For example, if PPC = 011, [P0:P1] = 11, and [P2:P3] = 01,
the contents of the Channel Word 3 register of Channel 1 are
presented to the output of Channel 1, and the contents of the
Channel Word 1 register of Channel 2 are presented to the
output of Channel 2. SDIO_1 and SDIO_2 provide the RU/RD
function.
16-Level Modulation Using SDIO Pins for RU/RD
The RU/RD bits = 11 (the SDIO_1 pin is available for RU/RD),
and the level is set to 16. See the pin assignments shown in
Table 18.
For the configuration shown in Table 18, the profile (channel

Profile Pins [P0:P3]. For example, if PPC = X10 and [P0:P3] =
1101, then the contents of the Channel Word 13 register of
Channel 2 is presented to the output of Channel 2. The SDIO_1
pin provides the RU/RD function.

Setting the Slope of the Linear Sweep
Linear sweep mode enables the user to sweep frequency, phase,
or amplitude from a starting point (S0) to an endpoint (E0).
The purpose of linear sweep mode is to provide better bandwidth containment compared to direct modulation by replacing
greater instantaneous changes with more gradual, user-defined
changes between S0 and E0.
The slope of the linear sweep is set by the intermediate step size
(delta-tuning word) between S0 and E0 and the time spent
(sweep ramp rate word) at each step. The resolution of the
delta-tuning word is 32 bits for frequency, 14 bits for phase, and
10 bits for amplitude. The resolution for the delta ramp rate
word is eight bits.
In linear sweep mode, S0 is loaded into the Channel Word 0
register (S0 is represented by one of three registers: Register 0x04,
Register 0x05, or Register 0x06, depending on the type of sweep)
and E0 is always loaded into Channel Word 1 (Register 0x0A).
If E0 is configured for frequency sweep, the resolution is 32 bits,
phase sweep is 14 bits, and amplitude sweep is 10 bits. When
sweeping phase or amplitude, the word value must be MSB aligned
in the Channel Word 1 register. The unused bits are don’t care
bits. The profile pins are used to trigger and control the direction
of the linear sweep for frequency, phase, and amplitude. All
channels can be programmed separately for a linear sweep. In
linear sweep mode, Profile Pin P0 is dedicated to Channel 0.
Profile Pin P1 is dedicated to Channel 1, and so on.
In linear sweep, each channel is assigned a rising delta word
(RDW, Register 0x08) and a rising sweep ramp rate word
(RSRR, Register 0x07). These settings apply when sweeping up
toward E0. The falling delta word (FDW, Register 0x09) and
falling sweep ramp rate (FSRR, Register 0x07) apply when
sweeping down toward S0. Figure 36 displays a linear sweep up
and then down using a profile pin. Note that the linear sweep
no-dwell bit is disabled; otherwise, the sweep accumulator
returns to 0 upon reaching E0.

The AD9959 has the ability to ramp up or ramp down (RU/RD)
the output amplitude (using the 10-bit output scalar) before and
after a linear sweep. If the RU/RD feature is desired, unused
profile pins or unused SDIO_1/SDIO_2/SDIO_3 pins can be
configured for the RU/RD operation.

LINEAR SWEEP MODE
Description
Two-level modulation
Four-level modulation
Eight-level modulation
16-level modulation
The formula for calculating delta time from RSRR or FSRR is
t = (RSRR ) × 1 / SYNC _ CLK
At 500 MSPS operation (SYNC_CLK = 125 MHz), the maximum time interval between steps is 1/125 MHz × 256 = 2.048 μs.
The minimum time interval is (1/125 MHz) × 1 = 8.0 ns.
The sweep ramp rate block (timer) consists of a loadable 8-bit
down counter that continuously counts down from the loaded
value to 1. When the ramp rate timer equals 1, the proper ramp rate
value is loaded and the counter begins counting down to 1 again.
Rev. B | Page 25 of 44
AD9959
This load and countdown operation continues for as long as the
timer is enabled. However, the count can be reloaded before
reaching 1 by either of the following two methods:
When the profile pin transitions from high to low, the FDW is
applied to the input of the sweep accumulator and the FSRR bits
are loaded into the sweep rate timer.
•
The FDW accumulates at the rate given by the falling sweep ramp
rate (FSRR) until the output is equal to the CFTW0 register
(Register 0x04) value. The sweep is then complete, and the output
is held constant in frequency.
•
Method 1 is to change the profile pin. When the profile pin
changes from Logic 0 to Logic 1, the rising sweep ramp rate
(RSRR) register value is loaded into the ramp rate timer,
which then proceeds to count down as normal. When the
profile pin changes from Logic 1 to Logic 0, the falling sweep
ramp rate (FSRR) register value is loaded into the ramp
rate timer, which then proceeds to count down as normal.
Method 2 is to set the CFR[14] bit and issue an I/O update.
If sweep is enabled and CFR[14] is set, the ramp rate timer
loads the value determined by the profile pin. If the profile
pin is high, the ramp rate timer loads the RSRR; if the profile
pin is low, the ramp rate timer loads FSRR.
See Figure 37 for the linear sweep block diagram. Figure 39
depicts a frequency sweep with no-dwell mode disabled. In this
mode, the output follows the state of the profile pin. A phase or
amplitude sweep works in the same manner.
LINEAR SWEEP NO-DWELL MODE
If the linear sweep no-dwell bit is set (CFR[15]), the rising sweep is
started in an identical manner to the dwell linear sweep mode;
that is, upon detecting Logic 1 on the profile input pin, the rising
sweep action is initiated. The word continues to sweep up at the
rate set by the rising sweep ramp rate at the resolution set by the
rising delta word until it reaches the terminal value. Upon reaching
the terminal value, the output immediately reverts to the starting
point and remains until Logic 1 is detected on the profile pin.
Frequency Linear Sweep Example: AFP Bits = 10
In the following example, the modulation level bits (FR1[9:8]) = 00,
the linear sweep enable bit (CFR[14]) = 1, and the linear sweep
no-dwell bit (CFR[15]) = 0.
In linear sweep mode, when the profile pin transitions from low
to high, the RDW is applied to the input of the sweep accumulator
and the RSRR register is loaded into the sweep rate timer.
Figure 38 shows an example of the no-dwell mode. The points
labeled A indicate where a rising edge is detected on the profile
pin, and the points labeled B indicate where the AD9959 has
determined that the output has reached E0 and reverts to S0.
The falling sweep ramp rate bits (LSRR[15:8]) and the falling
delta word bits (FDW[31:0]) are unused in this mode.
The RDW accumulates at the rate given by the rising sweep
ramp rate (RSRR) bits until the output is equal to the CW1
register value. The sweep is then complete, and the output is
held constant in frequency.

Continuous Clear Bits
SWEEP AND PHASE ACCUMULATOR CLEARING
FUNCTIONS
The AD9959 allows two different clearing functions. The first
is a continuous zeroing of the sweep logic and phase accumulator (clear and hold). The second is a clear and release or automatic
zeroing function. CFR[4] is the autoclear sweep accumulator bit
and CFR[2] is the autoclear phase accumulator bit. The continuous
clear bits are located in CFR, where CFR[3] clears the sweep
accumulator and CFR[1] clears the phase accumulator.
The continuous clear bits are static control signals that, when
active high, hold the respective accumulator at 0 while the bit is
active. When the bit goes low, the respective accumulator is
allowed to operate.
Clear and Release Bits
The autoclear sweep accumulator bit, when set, clears and
releases the sweep accumulator upon an I/O update or a change
in the profile input pins. The autoclear phase accumulator bit,
when set, clears and releases the phase accumulator upon an
I/O update or a change in the profile pins. The automatic
clearing function is repeated for every subsequent I/O update or
change in profile pins until the clear and release bits are reset
via the serial port.

AD9959
OUTPUT AMPLITUDE CONTROL MODE
A special feature of this mode is that the maximum output
amplitude allowed is limited by the contents of the amplitude
scale factor (ACR[9:0]). This allows the user to ramp to a value
less than full scale.
The 10-bit scale factor (multiplier) controls the ramp-up and
ramp-down (RU/RD) time of an on/off emission from the DAC.
In burst transmissions of digital data, it reduces the adverse
spectral impact of abrupt bursts of data. The multiplier can
be bypassed by clearing the amplitude multiplier enable bit
(ACR[12] = 0).
Ramp Rate Timer
Automatic and manual RU/RD modes are supported. The automatic mode generates a zero-scale up to a full-scale (10 bits)
linear ramp at a rate determined by ACR (Register 0x06). The
start and direction of the ramp can be controlled by either the
profile pins or the SDIO_1/SDIO_2/SDIO_3 pins.
The ramp rate timer is a loadable down counter that generates
the clock signal to the 10-bit counter that generates the internal
scale factor. The ramp rate timer is loaded with the value of the
LSRR (Register 0x07) each time the counter reaches 1 (decimal).
This load and countdown operation continues for as long as the
timer is enabled unless the timer is forced to load before
reaching a count of 1.
Manual mode allows the user to directly control the output
amplitude by manually writing to the amplitude scale factor
value in the ACR (Register 0x06). Manual mode is enabled by
setting ACR[12] = 1 and ACR[11] = 0.
If the load ARR at I/O_UPDATE bit (ACR[10]) is set, the ramp
rate timer is loaded at an I/O update, a change in profile input,
or upon reaching a value of 1. The ramp timer can be loaded
before reaching a count of 1 by three methods.
Automatic RU/RD Mode Operation
•
Automatic RU/RD mode is active when both ACR[12] and
ACR[11] are set. When automatic RU/RD is enabled, the scale
factor is internally generated and applied to the multiplier input
port for scaling the output. The scale factor is the output of a 10-bit
counter that increments/decrements at a rate set by the 8-bit
output ramp rate register. The scale factor increments if the
external pin is high and decrements if the pin is low. The internally generated scale factor step size is controlled by ACR[15:14].
Table 21 describes the increment/decrement step size of the
internally generated scale factor per ACR[15:14].

In the first method, the profile pins or the SDIO_1/
SDIO_2/SDIO_3 pins are changed. When the control
signal changes state, the ACR value is loaded into the ramp
rate timer, which then proceeds to count down as normal.
In the second method, the load ARR at I/O_UPDATE bit
(ACR[10]) is set, and an I/O update is issued.
The third method is to change from inactive automatic
RU/RD mode to active automatic RU/RD mode.
RU/RD Pin-to-Channel Assignment
When all four channels are in single-tone mode, the profile pins
are used for RU/RD operation.
When linear sweep and RU/RD are activated, the SDIO_1/
SDIO_2/SDIO_3 pins are used for RU/RD operation.

AD9959
SYNCHRONIZING MULTIPLE AD9959 DEVICES
The AD9959 allows easy synchronization of multiple AD9959
devices. At power-up, the phase of SYNC_CLK can be offset
between multiple devices. To correct for the offset and align the
SYNC_CLK edges, there are three methods (one automatic mode
and two manual modes) of synchronizing the SYNC_CLK edges.
These modes force the internal state machines of multiple
devices to a known state, which aligns the SYNC_CLK edges.
Table 24. System Clock Offset (Delay) Assignments
In addition, the user must send a coincident I/O_UPDATE to
multiple devices to maintain synchronization. Any mismatch in
REF_CLK phase between devices results in a corresponding
phase mismatch on the SYNC_CLK edges.
Automatic Synchronization Status Bits
AUTOMATIC MODE SYNCHRONIZATION
In automatic mode, multiple part synchronization is achieved
by connecting the SYNC_OUT pin on the master device to the
SYNC_IN pins of the slave devices. Devices are configured as
master or slave through programming bits, accessible via the
serial port.
A configuration for synchronizing multiple AD9959 devices in
automatic mode is shown in the Application Circuits section. In
this configuration, the AD9510 provides coincident REF_CLK
and SYNC_OUT signals to all devices.
Operation
The first steps are to program the master and slave devices for
their respective roles and then write the auto sync enable bit
(FR2[7]) = 1. Enabling the master device is performed by writing
its multidevice sync master enable bit in Function Register 2
(FR2[6]) = 1. This causes the SYNC_OUT of the master device
to output a pulse that has a pulse width equal to one system
clock period and a frequency equal to one-fourth of the system
clock frequency. Enabling devices as slaves is performed by
writing FR2[6] = 0.
In automatic synchronizing mode, the slave devices sample
SYNC_OUT pulses from the master device on the SYNC_IN
of the slave devices, and a comparison of all state machines is
made by the autosynchronization circuitry. If the slave devices
state machines are not identical to the master, the slave devices
state machines are stalled for one system clock cycle. This procedure synchronizes the slave devices within three SYNC_CLK
periods.
Delay Time Between SYNC_OUT and SYNC_IN
When the delay between SYNC_OUT and SYNC_IN exceeds
one system clock period, the system clock offset bits (FR2[1:0]) are
used to compensate. The default state of these bits is 00, which
implies that the SYNC_OUT of the master and the SYNC_IN of
the slave have a propagation delay of less than one system clock
period. If the propagation time is greater than one system clock
period, the time should be measured and the appropriate offset
programmed. Table 24 describes the delays required per system
clock offset value.
System Clock
Offset (FR2[1:0])
00
01
10
11
SYNC_OUT/SYNC_IN
Propagation Delay
0 ≤ delay ≤ 1
1 ≤ delay ≤ 2
2 ≤ delay ≤ 3
3 ≤ delay ≤ 4
If a slave device falls out of sync, the sync status bit is set high.
The multidevice sync status bit (FR2[5]) can be read through
the serial port. It is automatically cleared when read.
The synchronization routine continues to operate regardless of
the state of FR2[5]. FR2[5] can be masked by writing Logic 1 to
the multidevice sync mask bit (FR2[4]). If FR2[5] is masked, it is
held low.
MANUAL SOFTWARE MODE SYNCHRONIZATION
Manual software mode is enabled by setting the manual software
sync bit (FR1[0]) to Logic 1 in a device. In this mode, the I/O
update that writes the manual software sync bit to Logic 0 stalls
the state machine of the clock generator for one system clock
cycle. Stalling the clock generation state machine by one cycle
changes the phase relationship of SYNC_CLK between devices
by one system clock period (90°).
Note that the user may have to repeat this process until the
devices have their SYNC_CLK signals in phase. The SYNC_IN
input can be left floating because it has an internal pull-up. The
SYNC_OUT pin is not used.
The synchronization is complete when the master and slave
devices have their SYNC_CLK signals in phase.
MANUAL HARDWARE MODE SYNCHRONIZATION
Manual hardware mode is enabled by setting the manual hardware
sync bit (FR1[1]) to Logic 1 in a device. In manual hardware
synchronization mode, the SYNC_CLK stalls by one system
clock cycle each time a rising edge is detected on the SYNC_IN
input. Stalling the SYNC_CLK state machine by one cycle changes
the phase relationship of SYNC_CLK between devices by one
system clock period (90°).
Note that the user may have to repeat the process until the
devices have their SYNC_CLK signals in phase. The SYNC_IN
input can be left floating because it has an internal pull-up. The
SYNC_OUT is not used.
The synchronization is complete when the master and slave
devices have their SYNC_CLK signals in phase.
Rev. B | Page 29 of 44
AD9959
If the setup time between these signals is met, then constant
latency (pipeline) to the DAC output exists. For example, if
repetitive changes to phase offset via the SPI port is desired, the
latency of those changes to the DAC output is constant; otherwise,
a time uncertainty of one SYNC_CLK period is present.
I/O_UPDATE, SYNC_CLK, AND SYSTEM CLOCK
RELATIONSHIPS
I/O_UPDATE and SYNC_CLK are used together to transfer
data from the serial I/O buffer to the active registers in the
device. Data in the buffer is inactive.
SYNC_CLK is a rising edge active signal. It is derived from
the system clock and a divide-by-4 frequency divider. The
SYNC_CLK, which is externally provided, can be used to
synchronize external hardware to the AD9959 internal clocks.
I/O_UPDATE initiates the start of a buffer transfer. It can be
sent synchronously or asynchronously relative to the SYNC_CLK.
The I/O_UPDATE is essentially oversampled by the SYNC_CLK.
Therefore, I/O_UPDATE must have a minimum pulse width
greater than one SYNC_CLK period.
The timing diagram shown in Figure 40 depicts when data in
the buffer is transferred to the active registers.

SERIAL I/O PORT
Three of the four data pins (SDIO_1, SDIO_2, SDIO_3) can be
used for functions other than serial I/O port operation. These pins
can also be used to initiate a ramp-up or ramp-down (RU/RD)
of the 10-bit amplitude output scalar. In addition, SDIO_3 can
be used to provide the SYNC_I/O function that resynchronizes
the serial I/O port controller if it is out of proper sequence.
The maximum speed of the serial I/O port SCLK is 200 MHz,
but the four data pins (SDIO_0, SDIO_1, SDIO_2, SDIO_3)
can be used to further increase data throughput. The maximum
data throughput using all the SDIO pins (SDIO_0, SDIO_1,
SDIO_2, SDIO_3) is 800 Mbps.
For example, when accessing Function Register 1 (FR1), which
is three bytes wide, Phase 2 of the I/O cycle requires that three
bytes be transferred. After transferring all data bytes per the
instruction byte, the communication cycle is completed for that
register.
At the completion of a communication cycle, the AD9959 serial
port controller expects the next set of rising SCLK edges to be
the instruction byte for the next communication cycle. All data
written to the AD9959 is registered on the rising edge of SCLK.
Data is read on the falling edge of SCLK (see Figure 43 through
Figure 49). The timing specifications for Figure 41 and Figure 42
are described in Table 25.
Note that all channels share Register 0x03 to Register 0x18, which
are shown in the Register Maps and Bit Descriptions section.
This address sharing enables all four DDS channels to be written
to simultaneously. For example, if a common frequency tuning
word is desired for all four channels, it can be written once
through the serial I/O port to all four channels. This is the
default mode of operation (all channels enabled). To enable
each channel to be independent, the four channel enable bits
found in the channel select register (CSR, Register 0x00) must
be used.
tPRE
tDSU
There are two phases to a serial communications cycle. Phase 1
is the instruction cycle, which writes the instruction byte into
the AD9959. Each bit of the instruction byte is registered on
each corresponding rising edge of SCLK. The instruction byte
defines whether the upcoming data transfer is a write or read
operation. The instruction byte contains the serial address of
the address register.

There are effectively four sets or copies of addresses (Register 0x03
to Register 0x18) that the channel enable bits can access to provide
channel independence. See the Descriptions for Control Registers
section for further details of programming channels that are
common to or independent from each other. To properly read
back Register 0x03 to Register 0x18, the user must enable only
one channel enable bit at a time.
Serial operation of the AD9959 occurs at the register level,
not the byte level; that is, the controller expects that all bytes
contained in the register address are accessed. The SYNC_I/O
function can be used to abort an I/O operation, thereby allowing
fewer than all bytes to be accessed. This feature can be used to
program only a part of the addressed register. Note that only
completed bytes are affected.

05246-023
The AD9959 serial I/O port offers multiple configurations to
provide significant flexibility. The serial I/O port offers an SPIcompatible mode of operation that is virtually identical to the
SPI operation found in earlier Analog Devices DDS products.
The flexibility is provided by four data pins (SDIO_0, SDIO_1,
SDIO_2, SDIO_3) that allow four programmable modes of
serial I/O operation.
Phase 2 of the I/O cycle consists of the actual data transfer
(write/read) between the serial port controller and the serial
port buffer. The number of bytes transferred during this phase
of the communication cycle is a function of the register being
accessed. The actual number of additional SCLK rising edges
required for the data transfer and instruction byte depends on
the number of bytes in the register and the serial I/O mode of
operation.

Each set of communication cycles does not require an I/O update
to be issued. The I/O update transfers data from the I/O port
buffer to active registers. The I/O update can be sent for each
communication cycle or can be sent when all serial operations
are complete. However, data is not active until an I/O update is
sent, with the exception of the channel enable bits in the channel
select register (CSR). These bits do not require an I/O update to
be enabled.

Bit D7 of the instruction byte (R/W) determines whether a read
or write data transfer occurs after the instruction byte write. A
logic high indicates a read operation. A logic low indicates a
write operation.
Bit D4 to Bit D0 of the instruction byte determine which register is
accessed during the data transfer portion of the communication
cycle. The internal byte addresses are generated by the AD9959.
SERIAL I/O PORT PIN DESCRIPTION
this pin. The SDO function is not available in 2-bit or 4-bit serial
I/O modes.
SYNC_I/O
The SYNC_I/O function is available in 1-bit and 2-bit modes.
SDIO_3 serves as the SYNC_I/O pin when this function is
active. Bits CSR[2:1] control the configuration of this pin.
Otherwise, the SYNC_I/O function is used to synchronize the
I/O port state machines without affecting the addressable register
contents. An active high input on the SYNC_I/O (SDIO_3) pin
causes the current communication cycle to abort. After SDIO_3
returns low (Logic 0), another communication cycle can begin,
starting with the instruction byte write. The SYNC_I/O function is
not available in 4-bit serial I/O mode.
MSB/LSB TRANSFER DESCRIPTION
The AD9959 serial port can support both most significant bit
(MSB) first or least significant bit (LSB) first data formats. This
functionality is controlled by CSR[0]. MSB first is the default
mode. When CSR[0] is set high, the AD9959 serial port is in
LSB first format. The instruction byte must be written in the
format indicated by CSR[0], that is, if the AD9959 is in LSB first
mode, the instruction byte must be written from LSB to MSB. If
the AD9959 is in MSB first mode (default), the instruction byte
must be written from MSB to LSB.

format, apply an instruction byte of 00000001 starting with the
MSB (in the following example instruction byte, the MSB is
D7). From this instruction, the internal controller recognizes a
write transfer of three bytes starting with the MSB, FR1[23].
Bytes are written on each consecutive rising SCLK edge until
Bit 0 is transferred. When the last data bit is written, the I/O
communication cycle is complete and the next byte is considered
an instruction byte.
The chip select pin allows more than one AD9959 device to be
on the same set of serial communications lines. The chip select
is an active low enable pin. SDIO_x inputs go to a high impedance state when CS is high. If CS is driven high during any
communication cycle, that cycle is suspended until CS is
reactivated low. The CS pin can be tied low in systems that
maintain control of SCLK.

Of the four SDIO pins, only the SDIO_0 pin is a dedicated SDIO
pin. SDIO_1, SDIO_2, and SDIO_3 can also be used to ramp
up/ramp down the output amplitude. Bits[2:1] in the channel
select register (CSR, Register 0x00) control the configuration
of these pins. See the Serial I/O Modes of Operation for more
information.
SERIAL I/O PORT FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
Serial Data Out (SDO)
The SDO function is available in single-bit (3-wire) mode only.
In SDO mode, data is read from the SDIO_2 pin for protocols
that use separate lines for transmitting and receiving data (see
Table 26 for pin configuration options). Bits[2:1] in the channel
select register (CSR, Register 0x00) control the configuration of
Example Instruction Byte1

Note that the bit values are for example purposes only.
To write Function Register 1 (FR1) in LSB first format, apply an
instruction byte of 00000001, starting with the LSB bit (in the
preceding example instruction byte, the LSB is D0). From this
instruction, the internal controller recognizes a write transfer of
three bytes, starting with the LSB, FR1[0]. Bytes are written on
each consecutive rising SCLK edge until Bit 23 is transferred.
When the last data bit is written, the I/O communication cycle is
complete and the next byte is considered an instruction byte.

SERIAL I/O MODES OF OPERATION
The following are the four programmable modes of serial I/O
port operation:
•
•
•
•
Single-bit serial 2-wire mode (default mode)
Single-bit serial 3-wire mode
2-bit serial mode
4-bit serial mode (SYNC_I/O not available)
Table 26 displays the function of all six serial I/O interface pins,
depending on the mode of serial I/O operation programmed.

In serial mode, these pins (SDIO_0/SDIO_1/SDIO_2/SDIO_3) can be used for
RU/RD operation.
The two bits in the channel select register, CSR[2:1], set the
serial I/O mode of operation and are defined in Table 27.
2-Bit Serial Mode
The SPI port operation in 2-bit serial mode is identical to the
SPI port operation in single-bit serial mode, except that two bits
of data are registered on each rising edge of SCLK. Therefore, it
only takes four clock cycles to transfer eight bits of information.
The SDIO_0 pin contains the even numbered data bits using
the notation D[7:0], and the SDIO_1 pin contains the odd
numbered data bits. This even and odd numbered pin/data
alignment is valid in both MSB and LSB first formats (see
Figure 44).
4-Bit Serial Mode
The SPI port in 4-bit serial mode is identical to the SPI port in
single-bit serial mode, except that four bits of data are registered
on each rising edge of SCLK. Therefore, it takes only two clock
cycles to transfer eight bits of information. The SDIO_0 and
SDIO_2 pins contain even numbered data bits using the notation
D[7:0], and the SDIO_0 pin contains the LSB of the nibble. The
SDIO_1 and SDIO_3 pins contain the odd numbered data bits,
and the SDIO_1 pin contains the LSB of the nibble to be accessed.
Note that when programming the device for 4-bit serial mode,
it is important to keep the SDIO_3 pin at Logic 0 until the device is
programmed out of the single-bit serial mode. Failure to do so
can result in the serial I/O port controller being out of sequence.

In single-bit serial mode, 2-wire interface operation, the
SDIO_0 pin is the single serial data I/O pin. In single-bit serial
mode 3-wire interface operation, the SDIO_0 pin is the serial
data input pin and the SDIO_2 pin is the output data pin.
Regardless of the number of wires used in the interface, the
SDIO_3 pin is configured as an input and operates as the
SYNC_I/O pin in the single-bit serial mode and 2-bit serial
mode. The SDIO_1 pin is unused in this mode (see Table 26).

Figure 43 through Figure 45 represent write timing diagrams
for each of the serial I/O modes available. Both MSB and LSB
first modes are shown. LSB first bits are shown in parentheses.
The clock stall low/high feature shown is not required. It is used
to show that data (SDIO) must have the proper setup time
relative to the rising edge of SCLK.
The single-bit serial mode interface allows read/write access to
all registers that configure the AD9959. MSB first or LSB first
transfer formats are supported. In addition, the single-bit serial
mode interface port can be configured either as a single pin I/O,
which allows a 2-wire interface, or as two unidirectional pins
for input/output, which enable a 3-wire interface. Single-bit
mode allows the use of the SYNC_I/O function.
Figure 46 through Figure 49 represent read timing diagrams for
each of the serial I/O modes available. Both MSB and LSB first
modes are shown. LSB first bits are shown in parentheses. The
clock stall low/high feature shown is not required. It is used to
show that data (SDIO) must have the proper setup time relative
to the rising edge of SCLK for the instruction byte and the read
data that follows the falling edge of SCLK.

Channel enable bits do not require an I/O update to be activated. These bits are active immediately after the byte containing the bits is written. All other bits need an
I/O update to become active. The four channel enable bits shown in Table 28 are used to enable/disable any combination of the four channels. The default for all four
channels is enabled.
In the channel select register, if the user wants four different
frequencies for all four DDS channels, use the following
protocol:
3.
Enable the Channel 1 enable bit only, located in the
channel select register, and disable the other three
channels.
1.
Enable (Logic 1) the Channel 0 enable bit, which is located
in the channel select register, and disable the other three
channels (Logic 0).
4.
Write the desired frequency tuning word for Channel 1 in
Step 3, then disable the Channel 1 enable bit.
2.
Write the desired frequency tuning word for Channel 0, as
described in Step 1, and then disable the Channel 0 enable
bit (Logic 0).

There are four sets of channel registers and profile registers, one per channel. This is not shown in the Table 29 or Table 30 because the addresses of all channel
registers and profile registers are the same for each channel. Therefore, the channel enable bits (CSR[7:4]) determine if the channel registers and/or profile registers of
each channel are written to or not.

The clear phase accumulator bit is set to Logic 1 after a master reset. It self-clears or is set to Logic 0 when an I/O update is asserted.

DESCRIPTIONS FOR CONTROL REGISTERS
Channel Select Register (CSR)—Address 0x00
One byte is assigned to this register.
The CSR determines if channels are enabled or disabled by the status of the four channel enable bits. All four channels are enabled by
their default state. The CSR also determines which serial mode of operation is selected. In addition, the CSR offers a choice of MSB first
or LSB first format.

Description
Bits are active immediately after being written. They do not require an I/O update to take effect.
There are four sets of channel registers and profile (channel word) registers, one per channel. This
is not shown in the channel register map or the profile register map. The addresses of all channel
registers and profile registers are the same for each channel. Therefore, the channel enable bits
distinguish the channel registers and profile registers values of each channel. For example,
1001 = only Channel 3 and Channel 0 receive commands from the channel registers and profile
registers.
0010 = only Channel 1 receives commands from the channel registers and profile registers.
Must be set to 0.
00 = single-bit serial (2-wire mode).
01 = single-bit serial (3-wire mode).
10 = 2-bit serial mode.
11 = 4-bit serial mode.
See the Serial I/O Modes of Operation section for more details.
0 = the serial interface accepts serial data in MSB first format (default).
1 = the serial interface accepts serial data in LSB first format.

If the value is 4 or 20 (decimal) or between 4 and 20, the PLL is enabled and the value sets the
multiplication factor. If the value is outside of 4 and 20 (decimal), the PLL is disabled.
00 (default) = the charge pump current is 75 μA.
01 = charge pump current is 100 μA.
10 = charge pump current is 125 μA.
11 = charge pump current is 150 μA.
The profile pin configuration bits control the configuration of the data and SDIO_x pins for the
different modulation modes. See the Modulation Mode section in this document for details.
The RU/RD bits control the amplitude ramp-up/ramp-down time of a channel. See the Output
Amplitude Control Mode section for more details.
The modulation (FSK, PSK, and ASK) level bits control the level (2/4/8/16) of modulation to be
performed for a channel. See the Modulation Mode section for more details.
0 = the clock input circuitry is enabled for operation (default).
1 = the clock input circuitry is disabled and is in a low power dissipation state.
0 = the external power-down mode is in fast recovery power-down mode (default). In this mode,
when the PWR_DWN_CTL input pin is high, the digital logic and the DAC digital logic are
powered down. The DAC bias circuitry, PLL, oscillator, and clock input circuitry are not powered
down.
1 = the external power-down mode is in full power-down mode. In this mode, when the
PWR_DWN_CTL input pin is high, all functions are powered down. This includes the DAC and PLL,
which take a significant amount of time to power up.
