Note: To update W0 it is not necessary to load W1 through W4. Simply load W0 and assert FQ_UD. To update W1, reload W0

then W1 . . . users do not have random access to programming words.

*Specification does not apply when the 6

× REFCLK Multiplier is engaged.

The function assignments of the data and control words are

shown in Tables I and III; the detailed timing sequence for

updating the output frequency and/or phase, resetting the de-

vice, engaging the 6

× REFCLK Multiplier, and powering up/

down, are shown in the timing diagrams of Figures 13–20. As a

programming example for the following DDS characteristics:

1. Phase set to 11.25 degrees.

2. 6

× REFCLK Multiplier engaged.

3. Powered-up mode selected.

4. Output = 10 MHz (for 180 MHz system clock).

In parallel mode, user would program the 40-bit control word

(composed of five 8-bit loads) as follows:

W0 = 00001001

W1 = 00001110

W2 = 00111000

W3 = 11100011

W4 = 10001110

If in serial mode, load the 40 bits starting from the LSB location

of W4 in the above “array,” loading from right to left, and end-

ing with the MSB of W0.
