SERIAL PORT OPERATION

The serial port is a flexible, synchronous serial communications

port that allows easy interfacing with many industry-standard

microcontrollers and microprocessors. The serial input/output

is compatible with most synchronous transfer formats, including

both the Motorola, Inc., SPI and Intel® SSR protocols. The interface

allows read and write access to all registers that configure the

AD9172. MSB first or LSB first transfer formats are supported.

The serial port interface can be configured as a 4-wire interface

or a 3-wire interface in which the input and output share a

single pin input/output (SDIO).

There are two phases to a communication cycle with the

AD9172. Phase 1 is the instruction cycle (the writing of an

instruction byte into the device), coincident with the first

16 SCLK rising edges. The instruction word provides the serial

port controller with information regarding the data transfer

cycle, Phase 2 of the communication cycle. The Phase 1

instruction word defines whether the upcoming data transfer is

a read or write, along with the starting register address for the

following data transfer.

A logic high on the CS pin followed by a logic low resets the

serial port timing to the initial state of the instruction cycle.

From this state, the next 16 rising SCLK edges represent the

instruction bits of the current input/output operation.

The remaining SCLK edges are for Phase 2 of the

communication cycle. Phase 2 is the actual data transfer

between the device and the system controller. Phase 2 of the

communication cycle is a transfer of one or more data bytes.

Eight × N SCLK cycles are required to transfer N bytes during

the transfer cycle. Registers change immediately upon writing to

the last bit of each transfer byte, except for the FTW and NCO

phase offsets, which change only when the frequency tuning

word load request bit (DDSM_FTW_LOAD_REQ or

DDSC_FTW_LOAD_REQ) is set.

DATA FORMAT

The instruction byte contains the information shown in Table 14.

I15 (MSB)

I[14:0]

R/W

A[14:0]

R/W, Bit 15 of the instruction word, determines whether a read

or a write data transfer occurs after the instruction word write.

Logic 1 indicates a read operation, and Logic 0 indicates a write

operation.

A14 to A0, Bit I14 to Bit I0 of the instruction word, determine

the register that is accessed during the data transfer portion of

the communication cycle. For multibyte transfers, A[14:0] is the

starting address. The remaining register addresses are generated

by the device based on the address increment bit. If the address

increment bits are set high (Register 0x000, Bit 5 and Bit 2), multi-

byte SPI writes start on A[14:0] and increment by 1 every eight

bits sent/received. If the address increment bits are set to 0, the

address decrements by 1 every eight bits.

SERIAL PORT PIN DESCRIPTIONS

Serial Clock (SCLK)

The serial clock pin synchronizes data to and from the device

and runs the internal state machines. The maximum frequency

of SCLK is 80 MHz. All data input is registered on the rising edge

of SCLK. All data is driven out on the falling edge of SCLK.

Chip Select (CS)

An active low input starts and gates a communication cycle.

CS allows more than one device to be used on the same serial

communications lines. The SDIO pin goes to a high impedance

state when this input is high. During the communication cycle,

the chip select must stay low.

Serial Data Input/Output (SDIO)

This pin is a bidirectional data line. In 4-wire mode, this pin

acts as the data input and SDO acts as the data output.

SERIAL PORT OPTIONS

The serial port can support both MSB first and LSB first data

formats. This functionality is controlled by the LSB first bit

(Register 0x000, Bit 6 and Bit 1). The default is MSB first

(LSBFIRST bit = 0).

When the LSB first bits = 0 (MSB first), the instruction and data

bits must be written from MSB to LSB. R/W is followed by A[14:0]

as the instruction word, and D[7:0] is the data-word. When the

LSB first bits = 1 (LSB first), the opposite is true. A[0:14] is

followed by R/W, which is subsequently followed by D[0:7].

The serial port supports a 3-wire or 4-wire interface. When the

SDO active bits = 1 (Register 0x000, Bit 4 and Bit 3), a 4-wire

interface with a separate input pin (SDIO) and output pin (SDO) is

used. When the SDO active bits = 0, the SDO pin is unused and

the SDIO pin is used for both the input and the output.
