AD9775
R/W
Bit 7 of the instruction byte determines whether a read or a
write data transfer will occur after the instruction byte write.
Logic high indicates read operation. Logic “0” indicates a write
operation.
N1, N0
Bits 6 and 5 of the instruction byte determine the number of
bytes to be transferred during the data transfer cycle. The bit
decodes are shown in the following table:
MSB
I7
I6 I5 I4 I3
R/W N1 N0 A4 A3
LSB
I2 I1 I0
A2 A1 A0
A4, A3, A2, A1, A0
Bits 4, 3, 2, 1, and 0 of the instruction byte determine which
register is accessed during the data transfer portion of the com-
munications cycle. For multibyte transfers, this address is the
starting byte address. The remaining register addresses are
generated by the AD9775.
SERIAL INTERFACE PORT PIN DESCRIPTIONS
SCLK (Pin 55)—Serial Clock
The serial clock pin is used to synchronize data to and from the
AD9775 and to run the internal state machines. SCLK maxi-
mum frequency is 15 MHz. All data input to the AD9775 is
registered on the rising edge of SCLK. All data is driven out of
the AD9775 on the falling edge of SCLK.
CSB (Pin 56)—Chip Select
Active low input starts and gates a communication cycle. It
allows more than one device to be used on the same serial com-
munications lines. The SDO and SDIO pins will go to a high
impedance state when this input is high. Chip select should stay
low during the entire communication cycle.
SDIO (Pin 54)—Serial Data I/O
Data is always written into the AD9775 on this pin. However,
this pin can be used as a bidirectional data line. The configura-
tion of this pin is controlled by Bit 7 of Register Address 00h.
The default is Logic “0,” which configures the SDIO Pin as
unidirectional.
SDO (Pin 53)—Serial Data Out
Data is read from this pin for protocols that use separate lines
for transmitting and receiving data. In the case where the AD9775
operates in a single bidirectional I/O mode, this pin does not
output data and is set to a high impedance state.
MSB/LSB TRANSFERS
The AD9775 serial port can support both most significant bit
(MSB) first or least significant bit (LSB) first data formats. This
functionality is controlled by Register Address 00h, Bit 6. The
default is MSB first. When this bit is set active high, the AD9775
serial port is in LSB first format. That is, if the AD9775 is in
LSB first mode, the instruction byte must be written from least-
significant bit to most significant bit. Multibyte data transfers in
MSB format can be completed by writing an instruction byte
that includes the register address of the most significant byte. In
MSB first mode, the serial port internal byte address generator
decrements for each byte required of the multibyte communica-
tion cycle. Multibyte data transfers in LSB first format can be
completed by writing an instruction byte that includes the regis-
ter address of the least significant byte. In LSB first mode, the
serial port internal byte address generator increments for each
byte required of the multibyte communication cycle.
The AD9775 serial port controller address will increment from
1Fh to 00h for multibyte I/O operations if the MSB first mode is
active. The serial port controller address will decrement from 00h
to 1Fh for multibyte I/O operations if the LSB first mode is active.
