SPI SOFTWARE
The SPI software is broken up into numerous sections. Several of them are described here, as they pertain to the evaluation board. For
complete descriptions of each SPI register, see the AD9739 datasheet. In the interest of continuous quality improvements, the images
below may not exactly match your version of the software.
SPI Settings and Powerdown/Reset
These bits (shown in Figure 9) control the operation of the SPI port on the AD9739, as well as the master
reset and individual power-down bits. Changing the SDIO DIR or DATADIR bits will cause the SPI
application to stop functioning correctly. Do not change these bits. The Reset button is “sticky”, that is, the
part will stay in reset for as long as the button is enabled. To reset the part, set this bit, run the SPI
application, then unset this bit and run the application again.
Controller Clock Controls and Analog FS controls
The Controller Clock controls enable the Mu Controller and LVDS controllers. For normal operation,
both of these should be enabled. The Clock GEN PD switch powers down the clocking structure, and
should be left disabled for normal use.
The DAC current ouput has an adjustable full-scale value. The FSC Set option allows for this adjustment.
After running the SPI application, the full-scale current in miliamps will be displayed here.
Mu Controller Clock Enable: Register 0x02 Bit 0
LVDS Controller Clock Enable: Register 0x02 Bit 1
