AD9913
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9913 is a complete direct digital synthesizer (DDS)
designed to meet the stringent power consumption limits of
portable, handheld, and battery-powered equipment. The
AD9913 features a 10-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC)
operating up to 250 MSPS. The AD9913 uses advanced DDS
technology, coupled with an internal high speed, high
performance DAC to form a complete, digitally-programmable, high frequency synthesizer capable of generating a
frequency agile analog output sinusoidal waveform at up to
100 MHz.
The AD9913 provides fast frequency hopping and fine tuning
resolution. The AD9913 also offers fine resolution phase offset
control. Control words are loaded into the AD9913 through the
serial or parallel I/O port. The AD9913 also supports a userdefined linear sweep mode of operation for generating highly
linearized swept waveforms of frequency. To support various
methods of generating a system clock, the AD9913 includes an
oscillator, allowing a simple crystal to be used as the frequency
reference, as well as a high speed clock multiplier to convert the
reference clock frequency up to the full system clock rate. For
power saving considerations, many of the individual blocks of
the AD9913 can be powered down when not in use.
The AD9913 operates over the extended industrial temperature
range of −40°C to +85°C.

THEORY OF OPERATION
DDS CORE
The DDS block generates a reference signal (sine or cosine
based on the selected DDS sine output bit). The parameters of
the reference signal (frequency and phase), are applied to the
DDS at its frequency and phase offset control inputs, as shown
in Figure 19.

where the round(x) function rounds the argument (the value of
x) to the nearest integer. This is required because the FTW is
constrained to be an integer value.
For applications where rounding to the nearest available frequency is not acceptable, programmable modulus mode enables
additional options.
The relative phase of the DDS signal can be digitally controlled
by means of a 14-bit phase offset word (POW). The phase offset
is applied prior to the angle-to-amplitude conversion block
internal to the DDS core. The relative phase offset (Δθ) is given by

AD9913
AUXILIARY ACCUMULATOR
In addition to the phase accumulator of the DDS, the AD9913
has an auxiliary accumulator. This accumulator can be configured to support either an automatic sweep of one of the
programmable characteristics of the DDS output (frequency or
phase), or it can be configured to implement a change in the
denominator of the frequency equation given in the DDS Core
section. For further details, refer to the Programmable Modulus
Mode section.
10-BIT DAC
The AD9913 incorporates an integrated 10-bit, current output
DAC. The output current is delivered as a balanced signal using
two outputs. The use of balanced outputs reduces the potential
amount of common-mode noise present at the DAC output,
offering the advantage of an increased signal-to-noise ratio. An
external resistor (R

The following equation computes the typical full-scale current

The DAC is designed to operate with full-scale current values
up to 4.58 mA. Based on the equation and assuming a 4.62 kΩ

Pay careful attention to the load termination to ensure that the
output voltage remains within the specified compliance range;
voltages developed beyond this range cause excessive distortion
and can damage the DAC output circuitry.
I/O PORT
The AD9913 I/O port can be configured as a synchronous serial
communications port that allows easy interface to many industrystandard microcontrollers and microprocessors. The serial I/O port
is compatible with most synchronous transfer formats, including
both the Motorola 6905/11 SPI and Intel 8051 SSR protocols. For
faster programming requirements, a parallel mode is also provided.
PROFILE SELECTIONS
The AD9913 supports the use of profiles, which consist of a group
of eight registers containing pertinent operating parameters for
a particular operating mode. Profiles enable rapid switching
between parameter sets. Profile parameters are programmed via
the I/O port. Once programmed, a specific profile is activated
by means of Register CFR1 Bits [22:20], or three external profile
select pins. The external profile pins option is only available in
serial mode.
Rev. A | Page 13 of 32
AD9913
MODES OF OPERATION
The AD9913 operates in four modes:
• Single tone
• Direct switch
• Programmable modulus
• Linear sweep
The modes relate to the data source used to supply the DDS
with its signal control parameters: frequency, phase, or amplitude. The partitioning of the data into different combinations
of frequency, phase, and amplitude is handled automatically
based on the mode and/or specific control bits.
SINGLE TONE MODE
Single tone mode is the default operational mode and is active
when both the direct switch mode bit and the auxiliary
accumulator enable bit are not set. This mode outputs a single
frequency as programmed by the user in the frequency tuning
word (FTW) register. A phase offset value is also available in
single tone mode via the POW register.
DIRECT SWITCH MODE
Direct switch mode enables FSK or PSK modulation. This mode
simply selects the frequency or phase value programmed into
the profile registers. Frequency or phase is determined by the
destination bits in CFR1 [13:12]. Direct switch mode is enabled
using the direct switch mode active bit in register CFR1 [16].
Two approaches are designed for switching between profile
registers. The first is programming the internal profile control
bits, CFR1 [22:20], to the desired value and issuing an
IO_UPDATE. The second approach, with higher data
throughput, is achieved by changing the profile control pins
[2:0]. Control bit CFR1 [27] is for selection between the two
approaches. The default state uses the profile pins.
To perform 8-tone FSK or PSK, program the FTW word or
phase offset word in each profile. The internal profile control
bits or the profile pins are used for the FSK or PSK data.
Tabl e 4 shows the relationship between the profile selection pin
or bit approach.
Table 4. Profile Selection
Profile Pins PS [2:0] or CFR1 Bits [22:20] Profile Selection
In programmable modulus mode, the auxiliary accumulator is
used to alter the frequency equation of the DDS core, making it
possible to implement fractions which are not restricted to a
power of 2 in the denominator.
A standard DDS is restricted to powers of 2 as a denominator
because the phase accumulator is a set of bits as wide as the
frequency tuning word. When in programmable modulus
mode, the frequency equation becomes
= (FTW)(fS)/x with 0 ≤ FTW ≤ 2
f
0
f0 = fS × (1 − (FTW/x)) with 2
where 0 ≤ x ≤ 232.
When in programmable modulus mode, the auxiliary accumulator is set up to roll over before it reaches full capacity. Every
time it rolls over, an extra LSB value is added to the phase
accumulator. In order to determine the values that must be
programmed in the registers, the user must define the desired
output to sampling clock frequency as a ratio of integers (M/N,
where N must not exceed 2
Refer to the AN-953 Application Note for detailed steps of how
to implement a programmable modulus. The AN-953 defines
how to calculate the three required values (A, B, and X) used for
programmable modulus. The following assigns the required
values to the appropriate register.
• Register 0x06 [63:32] holds the B value.
• Register 0x06 [31:0] holds the X value.
• Register 0x07 [31:0] holds the A value.
LINEAR SWEEP MODE
One purpose of linear sweep mode is to provide better
bandwidth containment compared to direct switch mode by
enabling more gradual, user-defined changes between a starting
point (S0) to an endpoint (E0). The auxiliary accumulator
enable bit is located in Register CFR1 [11]. Linear sweep uses
the auxiliary accumulator to sweep frequency or phase from S0
to E0. A frequency or phase sweep is determined by the
destination bits in CFR1 [13:12]. The trigger to initiate the
sweep can be edge or level triggered. This is determined by
Register CFR1 [9]. Note that, in level triggered mode, the sweep
automatically repeats as long as the appropriate profile pin is
held high.
In linear sweep mode, S0 and E0 (upper and lower limits) are
loaded into the linear sweep parameter register (Register 0x06).
If configured for frequency sweep, the resolution is 32-bits. For
phase sweep, the resolution is 14 bits. When sweeping the
phase, the word value must be MSB-aligned; unused bits are
ignored. The profile pins or the internal profile bits trigger and
control the direction (up/down) of the linear sweep for
frequency or phase. Tab le 5 depicts the direction of the sweep.

Note that if the part is used in parallel port programming mode,
the sweep mode is only determined by the internal profile
control bits, CFR1 [22:20]. If the part is used in serial port
programming mode, either the internal profile control bits or
the external profile select pins can work as the sweep control.
CFR1 [27] selects between these two approaches.
Setting the Slope of the Linear Sweep
The slope of the linear sweep is set by the intermediate step size
(delta tuning word) between S0 and E0 (see Figure 22) and the
time spent (sweep ramp rate word) at each step. The resolution
of the delta tuning word is 32 bits for frequency and 14 bits for
phase. The resolution for the delta ramp rate word is 16 bits.
In linear sweep mode, the user programs a rising delta word
(RDW, Register 0x07) and a rising sweep ramp rate (RSRR,
Register 0x08). These settings apply when sweeping from S0 to
E0. The falling delta word (FDW, Register 0x07) and falling
sweep ramp rate (FSRR, Register 0x08) apply when sweeping
from E0 to S0.
Note that if the auxiliary accumulator is allowed to overflow, an
uncontrolled, continuous sweep operation occurs. To avoid this,
the magnitude of the rising or falling delta word should be
smaller than the difference between full-scale and the E0 value
32
(full-scale − E0). For a frequency sweep, full-scale is 2

Figure 22 displays a linear sweep up and then down. This
depicts the dwell mode (see CRF1 [8]). If the no-dwell bit,
CFR1 [8], is set, the sweep accumulator returns to 0 upon
reaching E0.

For a piecemeal or a nonlinear transition between S0 and E0,
the delta tuning words and ramp rate words can be reprogrammed during the transition.

Frequency Linear Sweep Example
In linear sweep mode, when sweeping from low to high, the
RDW is applied to the input of the auxiliary accumulator and
the RSRR register is loaded into the sweep rate timer.
The RDW accumulates at the rate given by the ramp rate
(RSRR) until the output equals the upper limit in the linear
sweep parameter register (Register 0x06). The sweep is then
complete.
When sweeping from high to low, the FDW is applied to the
input of the auxiliary accumulator and the FSRR register is
loaded into the sweep rate timer.
The FDW accumulates at the rate given by the ramp rate
(FSRR) until the output equals the lower limit in the linear
sweep parameter register value (Register 0x06). The sweep is
then complete. A phase sweep works in the same manner with
fewer bits.

Clear Functions
The AD9913 allows for a programmable continuous zeroing of
the sweep logic and the phase accumulator as well as clear-andrelease, or automatic zeroing function. Each feature is
individually controlled via bits in the control registers.
Continuous Clear Bits
The continuous clear bits are simply static control signals that
hold the respective accumulator (and associated logic) at zero
for the entire time the bit is active.
Clear-and-Release Function
The auto clear auxiliary accumulator bit, when active, clears and
07002-043
releases the auxiliary accumulator upon receiving an
I/O_UPDATE or change in profile bits.
The auto clear phase accumulator, when active, clears and
releases the phase accumulator upon receiving a I/O_UPDATE
or a change in profile bits.
The automatic clearing function is repeated for every
subsequent I/O_UPDATE or change in profile bits until the
control bit is cleared.
These bits are programmed independently and do not have to
be active at the same time. For example, one accumulator may
be using the clear and release function while the other is
continuously cleared.

CLOCK INPUT (REF_CLK)
REF_CLK OVERVIEW
The AD9913 supports a number of options for producing the
internal SYSCLK signal (that is, the DAC sample clock) via the
REF_CLK input pins. The REF_CLK input can be driven
directly from a differential or single-ended source, or it can
accept a crystal connected across the two input pins. There is
also an internal phase-locked loop (PLL) multiplier that can be
independently enabled. The various input configurations are
controlled by means of the control bits in the CFR2 [7:5]
register.
When using a crystal at the REF_CLK input, the resonant
frequency should be approximately 25 MHz. Figure 27 shows
the recommended circuit configuration.

REFCLK
DIRECT-DRIVEN REF_CLK
When driving the REF_CLK inputs directly from a signal
source, either single-ended or differential signals can be used.
With a differential signal source, the REF_CLK pins are driven
with complementary signals and ac-coupled with 0.1 μF
capacitors. With a single-ended signal source, either a singleended-to-differential conversion can be employed or the
REF_CLK input can be driven single-ended directly. In either
case, 0.1 μF capacitors are used to ac couple both REF_CLK
pins to avoid disturbing the internal dc bias voltage of ~1.35 V.
See Figure 28 for more details.
The REF_CLK input resistance is ~2.7 kΩ differential (~1.35 kΩ
single-ended). Most signal sources have relatively low output
impedances. The REF_CLK input resistance is relatively high,
therefore, its effect on the termination impedance is negligible
and can usually be chosen to be the same as the output impedance of the signal source. The bottom two examples in Figure 28
assume a signal source with a 50 Ω output impedance.

PHASE-LOCKED LOOP (PLL) MULTIPLIER
An internal phase-locked loop (PLL) provides users of the
AD9913 the option to use a reference clock frequency that is
lower than the system clock frequency. The PLL supports a wide
range of programmable frequency multiplication factors (1× to
64×). See Tabl e 7 for details on configuring the PLL multiplication factor. The PLL is also equipped with a PLL_LOCK bit.
CFR2 [15:8] and CFR2 [5:1] control the PLL operation. Upon
power-up, the PLL is off. To initialize the PLL, CFR2 [5] must
be cleared and CFR2 [1] must be set. The function of CFR2 [1]
Rev. A | Page 18 of 32
AD9913
is to reset digital logic in the PLL circuit with an active low
signal. The function of CFR2 [5] is to power up or power down
the PLL.
CFR2 [4] is the PLL LO range bit. When operating the AD9913
with the PLL enabled, CFR2 [4] adjusts PLL loop filter
components to allow low frequency reference clock inputs.
CFR2 [3] enables a divide-by-two circuit at the input of the PLL
phase detector. If this bit is enabled the reference clock signal is
divided by 2 prior to multiplication in the PLL. Refer to the
electrical specifications for the maximum reference clock input
frequency when utilizing the PLL with the divide by 2 circuit
enabled. If the divide by 2 circuit is disabled and the PLL is
enabled, then the maximum reference clock input frequency is
one-half the maximum rate indicated in the electrical
specifications table for the maximum input divider frequency.
The AD9913 PLL uses one of two VCOs for producing the
system clock signal. CFR2 Bit 2 is a select bit that enables an
alternative VCO in the PLL. The basic operation of the PLL is
not affected by the state of this bit. The purpose of offering two
VCOs is to provide performance options. The two VCOs have
approximately the same gain characteristics, but differ in other
aspects. The overall spurious performance, phase noise, and
power consumption may change based on the setting of CFR2
Bit 2. It is important to consider that for either VCO, the
minimum oscillation frequency must be satisfied, and that
minimum oscillation frequency is significantly different
between the two oscillators.
CFR2 [15:9], along with CFR2 [3], determine the multiplication
of the PLL. CFR2 [15] enables a divider at the output of the
PLL. The bits CFR [14:9] control the feedback divider. The
feedback divider is composed of two stages: ÷ N (1:31) selected
by CFR2 [13:9];
Note that the same system clock frequency can be obtained with
different combinations of CFR2 [15:9] and CFR2 [3]. One
combination may work better in a given application either to
run at lower power or to satisfy the VCOs minimum oscillation
frequency
Note that the AD9913 maximum system clock frequency is
250 MHz. If the user intends to use high values for the PLL
feedback divider ratio, then care should be taken that the
system clock frequency does not exceed 250 MHz.
÷1 or ÷2 selected by CFR2 [14].
PLL LOCK INDICATION
CFR2 [0] is a read-only bit that displays the status of the PLL
lock signal.
When the AD9913 is programmed to use the PLL, there is some
amount of time required for the loop to lock. While the loop is
not locked, the chip system clock operates at the reference clock
frequency presented to the part at the pins. Once the PLL lock
signal goes high, the system clock frequency switches
asynchronously to operate at the PLL output frequency. To
maintain a system clock frequency with or without a locked
loop if the PLL lock signal transistions low, the chip reverts to
the reference clock signal while the loop attempts to acquire
lock once again.
Tabl e 7 describes how to configure the PLL multiplication factor
using the appropriated register bits.
The AD9913 supports an externally controlled power-down
feature as well as software programmable power-down bits
consistent with other Analog Devices, Inc. DDS products.
The external PWR_DWN_CTL pin determines the powerdown scheme. A low on this pin allows the user to power down
DAC, PLL, input clock circuitry, and the digital section of the
chip individually via the unique control bits, CFR1 [6:4]. In this
mode, CFR1 [7] is inactive.
When the PWR_DWN_CTL is set, CFR1 [6:4] lose their
meaning. At the same time, the AD9913 provides two different
power-down modes based on the value of CFR1 [7]: a fast
recovery power-down mode in which only the digital logic and
the DAC digital logic are powered down, and a full power-down
mode in which all functions are powered down. A significant
amount of time is required to recover from power-down mode.
Tabl e 11 indicates the logic level for each power-down bit that
drives out of the AD9913 core logic to the analog section and
the digital clock generation section of the chip for the external
power-down operation.
The AD9913 serial port is a flexible, synchronous serial
communications port allowing an easy interface to many
industry standard microcontrollers and microprocessors.
The interface allows read/write access to all registers that
configure the AD9913. MSB first or LSB first transfer formats
are supported. The AD9913 serial interface port is configured
as a single pin I/O (SDIO), which allows a two-wire interface.
The AD9913 does not have a SDO pin for 3-wire operation.
With the AD9913, the instruction byte specifies read/write
operation and the register address. Serial operations on the
AD9913 occur only at the register level, not the byte level.
For the AD9913, the serial port controller recognizes the
instruction byte register address and automatically generates
the proper register byte address. In addition, the controller
expects that all bytes of that register are accessed. It is a
requirement that all bytes of a register be accessed during
serial I/O operations.
There are two phases to a communication cycle with the
AD9913. Phase 1 is the instruction cycle, which is the writing of
an instruction byte into the AD9913, coincident with the first
eight SCLK rising edges. The instruction byte provides the
AD9913 serial port controller with information regarding the
data transfer cycle, which is Phase 2 of the communication
cycle. The Phase 1 instruction byte defines whether the
INSTRUCTI ON CYCLEDATA T RANS FER CYCLE
CS
upcoming data transfer is read or write and the serial address of
the register being accessed.
The first eight SCLK rising edges of each communication cycle
are used to write the instruction byte into the AD9913. The
remaining SCLK edges are for Phase 2 of the communication
cycle. Phase 2 is the actual data transfer between the AD9913
and the system controller. The number of bytes transferred
during Phase 2 of the communication cycle is a function of the
register accessed. For example, when accessing the Control
Function Register 2, which is two bytes wide, Phase 2 requires
that two bytes be transferred. If accessing one of the profile
registers, which are six bytes wide, Phase 2 requires that six
bytes be transferred. After transferring all data bytes per the
instruction, the communication cycle is completed.
At the completion of any communication cycle, the AD9913
serial port controller expects the next eight rising SCLK edges
to be the instruction byte of the next communication cycle.
All data input to the AD9913 is registered on the rising edge
of SCLK. All data is driven out of the AD9913 on the falling
edge of SCLK.
Figure 30 through Figure 32 illustrate the general
operation of serial ports.
Note that IO_UPDATE is not shown in Figure 30 and Figure 31.
The IO_UPDATE transfers the contents of the write sequence
to the active register. See the Register Update (I/O Update)

Serial Interface Port Pin Description
SCLK—Serial Port Clock
The serial clock pin is used to synchronize data to and from the
AD9913 and to run the internal state machines.
CS
—Chip Select
Active low input that allows more than one device on the same
serial communications line. The SDIO pin goes to a high
impedance state when this input is high. If driven high during
any communications cycle, that cycle is suspended until chip
select is reactivated low. Chip select can be tied low in systems
that maintain control of SCLK.
SDIO—Serial Data I/O.
Data is always written into and read from the AD9913 on
this pin.
MSB/LSB Transfers
The AD9913 serial port can support both most significant bit
(MSB) first or least significant bit (LSB) first data formats. This
functionality is controlled by the CFR1 [23]. The default value
is MSB first. The instruction byte must be written in the format
indicated by Control Register 0x00 Bit 8. That is, if the AD9913
is in LSB first mode, the instruction byte must be written from
least significant bit to most significant bit.
For MSB first operation, the serial port controller generates the
most significant byte (of the specified register) address first
followed by the next less significant byte addresses until the I/O
operation is complete. All data written to (read from) the
AD9913 must be in MSB first order.
If the LSB mode is active, the serial port controller generates the
least significant byte address first followed by the next greater
significant byte addresses until the I/O operation is complete.
All data written to (read from) the AD9913 must be in LSB
first order.
Notes on Serial Port Operation
The LSB first bit resides in CFR1 [23]. Note that the
configuration changes immediately upon writing to the byte
containing the LSB first bit. Therefore, care must be taken to
compensate for this new configuration for the remainder of the
current communication cycle.
Reading profile registers requires that the external profile select
pins (PS[2:0]) be configured to select the corresponding
register.
PARALLEL I/O PROGRAMMING
Parallel Port Interface Pin Description

An active low on this pin indicates that a read/write operation is
about to be performed. If this pin goes high during an access,
the parallel port is reset to its initial condition.
W
R/
—Read/Write
A high on Pin 29 combined with CS active low indicates a read
operation. A low on this pin indicates a write operation.
PCLK—Parallel Port Clock
The parallel clock pin is used to synchronize data to and from
the AD9913 and to run the internal state machines.
ADDR/DATA [7:0]
The 8-bit address/data bus. It works in a bidirectional fashion to
support both read and write operations.
Notes on Parallel Port Operation
Each operation works in a 3-PCLK cycle with the first clock
cycle for addressing, the second for reading or writing, and the
third for re-initialization. In parallel port operation, each byte is
programmed individually.

REGISTER UPDATE (I/O UPDATE)
Functionality of the I/O UPDATE and SYNC_CLK
Data from a write sequence is stored in a buffer register (data
inactive). An active register exists for every buffer register. The
I/O update signal and SYNC_CLK are used to transfer the
contents from the buffer register into the active register.
I/O_UPDATE initiates the start of a buffer transfer. It can be
sent synchronously or asynchronously relative to the SYNC_CLK.
If the setup time between the two signals is met, then constant
latency (pipeline) to the DAC output exists. For example, if
constant propagation delay of phase offset changes via the SPI
AB
SYNC_CLK
I/O_UPDATE
or parallel port is desired, the setup time must be met,
otherwise, a time uncertainty of one SYNC_CLK period is
present.
The I/O_UPDATE is sampled by the SYNC_CLK. Therefore,
I/O_UPDATE must have a minimum pulse width greater than
one SYNC_CLK period.
The timing diagram shown in Figure 35 depicts how data in the
buffer is transferred to the active registers. An I/O_UPDATE is
not required for every register write, it can be sent after multiple
register writes.

REGISTER BIT DESCRIPTIONS
The serial I/O port registers span an address range of 0 to 16
(0x00 to 0x10 in hexadecimal notation). This represents a total
of 17 registers. However, one of these registers (0x05) is unused,
yielding a total of 16 available registers.
The registers are not of uniform depth; each contains the
number of bytes necessary for its particular function.
Additionally, the registers are assigned names according to their
functionality. In some cases, a register is given a mnemonic
descriptor. For example, the register at Serial Address 0x00 is
named Control Function Register 1 and is assigned the
mnemonic CFR1.
The following section provides a detailed description of each bit
in the AD9913 register map. For cases in which a group of bits
serve a specific function, the entire group is considered as a
binary word and described in aggregate.
Control Function Register 1 (CFR1)
Address 0x00; 4 bytes are assigned to this register.

Bit(s) Bit Name Description
31:29 Open Leave these bits at their default values.
28 Modulus Enable This bit is ignored if linear sweep is disabled.
0 = the auxiliary accumulator is used for linear sweep generation.
1 = the auxiliary accumulator is used for programmable modulus.
27 Use Internal Profile
26 Match Pipeline Delays Active
25:24 Open Leave these bits at the default values.
23 LSB First 0 = MSB first format is used.
22:20 Internal Profile Control
19 Sync Clock Disable 0 = the SYNC_CLK pin is active.
18:17 Open Leave these bits in their default values.
16 Direct Switch Mode Active 0 = direct switch mode is disabled.
1 = direct switch mode is enabled.
15 Clear Auxiliary Accumulator 0 = normal operation of the auxiliary accumulator (default).
14 Clear Phase Accumulator 0 = normal operation of the DDS phase accumulator (default).
0 = profiles are controlled by profile pins; only valid in serial mode.
1 = profiles are controlled by CFR1 [22:20].
0 = the latency across the auxiliary accumulator, the phase offset word, and phase
accumulator are matched.
1 = the latency across the auxiliary accumulator, the phase offset word, and phase
accumulator are not matched.
1 = LSB first format is used.
Ineffective unless Bit 27 = 1. Default is 000
details on how to program these registers during linear sweep, and refer to the Direct
Switch Mode section for details on how to program these registers in direct switch mode.
1 = the SYNC_CLK pin assumes a static Logic 0 state (disabled). In this state, the pin drive
logic is shut down, minimizing the noise generated by the digital circuitry.
1 = asynchronous, static reset of the auxiliary accumulator. The ramp accumulator remains
reset as long as this bit remains set. This bit is synchronized with either an I/O update or a
profile change and the next rising edge of SYNC_CLK.
1 = asynchronous, static reset of the DDS phase accumulator.
This section is organized in sequential order of the serial
addresses of the registers. Each subheading includes the register
name and optional register mnemonic (in parentheses). Also
given is the serial address in hexadecimal format and the
number of bytes assigned to the register.
Following each subheading is a table containing the individual
bit descriptions for that particular register. The location of the
bit(s) in the register are indicated by a single number or a pair
of numbers separated by a colon. A pair of numbers (A:B)
indicates a range of bits from the most significant (A) to the
least significant (B). For example, 5:2 implies Bit Position 5
down to Bit Position 2, inclusive, with Bit 0 identifying the LSB
of the register.
Unless otherwise stated, programmed bits are not transferred to their internal destinations until the assertion of
the I/O_UPDATE pin.

00 = In direct switch mode, use this setting for FSK.
In linear sweep mode, the auxiliary accumulator is used for frequency sweeping.
In programmable modulus mode, these bits must be 00.
01 = In direct switch mode, use this setting for PSK.
In linear sweep mode, the auxiliary accumulator is used for phase sweeping.

not powered down.
1 = the external power-down mode selected is the full power-down mode. In this mode,
when the PWR_DWN_CTL pin is high, all functions are powered down. This includes the
DAC and PLL, which take a significant amount of time to power up.
1 = shut down all clock generation including the system clock signal going into the digital

0 = every time the linear sweep rate register is updated, the ramp rate timer keeps its
operation until it times out and then loads the update value into the timer.
1 = the timer is interrupted immediately upon the assertion of IO_UPDATE and the value is
loaded.
0 = normal operation.
1 = the auxiliary accumulator is synchronously cleared (zero is loaded) for one cycle upon
receipt of the IO_UPDATE sequence indicator.
0 = normal operation.
1 = the phase accumulator is synchronously cleared for one cycle upon receipt of the
IO_UPDATE sequence indicator.
1 = the angle-to-amplitude conversion logic employs a sine function.
