Programming

The F4482 uses a variety of programming options that can control the on-chip attenuators and band-select functions. The following sections

provide specific details on each unique programming mode.

Serial Programming

The F4482 includes a SPI interface that is primarily used to program the device’s on-chip attenuators.

Device Register Maps

Each channel of the VGA uses an 8-bit addressing word followed by an 8-bit data word to execute the attenuation level commands. Figure 76

shows the various bit assignments for each channel register.

The register address word (Bits A7-A0) includes five reserve bits (A7-A3) followed by three channel addressing bits (A2-A0). The “Channel

Select” truth table is provided in Table 8.

Note that address bit A2 is used to select either individual channel programming (logic LOW) or dual channel programming (logic HIGH).

Simultaneous programming of channels A and B is achieved when setting bit A2 to a logic HIGH and A1 a logic LOW. Simultaneous

programming of channels C and D occurs when bits A2 and A1 are both logic HIGHs.
