SERIAL CONTROL PORT
The AD9518 serial control port is a flexible, synchronous, serial
communications port that allows an easy interface with many
industry-standard microcontrollers and microprocessors. The
AD9518 serial control port is compatible with most synchronous
transfer formats, including both the Motorola SPI and Intel®
SSR® protocols. The serial control port allows read/write access
to all registers that configure the AD9518. Single or multiple
byte transfers are supported, as well as MSB first or LSB first
transfer formats. The AD9518 serial control port can be
configured for a single bidirectional I/O pin (SDIO only)
or for two unidirectional I/O pins (SDIO/SDO). By default,
the AD9518 is in bidirectional mode, long instruction (long
instruction is the only instruction mode supported).
SERIAL CONTROL PORT PIN DESCRIPTIONS
SCLK (serial clock) is the serial shift clock. This pin is an input.
SCLK is used to synchronize serial control port reads and
writes. Write data bits are registered on the rising edge of this
clock, and read data bits are registered on the falling edge. This
pin is internally pulled down by a 30 kΩ resistor to ground.
SDIO (serial data input/output) is a dual-purpose pin that acts
as either an input only (unidirectional mode) or as both an input
and an output (bidirectional mode). The AD9518 defaults to
the bidirectional I/O mode (Register 0x000[0] = 0).
SDO (serial data out) is used only in the unidirectional I/O mode
(Register 0x000[0] = 1) as a separate output pin for reading
back data.
CS (chip select bar) is an active low control that gates the read
and write cycles. When CS is high, SDO and SDIO are in a high
impedance state. This pin is internally pulled up by a 30 kΩ
resistor to VS.
GENERAL OPERATION OF SERIAL CONTROL PORT
A write or a read operation to the AD9518 is initiated by pulling
CS low.
CS stalled high is supported in modes where three or fewer bytes
of data (plus instruction data) are transferred (see
In these modes,
boundary, allowing time for the system controller to process the
next byte. CS can go high on byte boundaries only and can go
high during either part (instruction or data) of the transfer.
CS can temporarily return high on any byte

During this period, the serial control port state machine enters
a wait state until all data is sent. If the system controller decides
to abort the transfer before all of the data is sent, the state machine
must be reset by either completing the remaining transfers or by
returning CS low for at least one complete SCLK cycle (but less
than eight SCLK cycles). Raising CS on a nonbyte boundary
terminates the serial transfer and flushes the buffer.
In streaming mode (see Table 37), any number of data bytes can
be transferred in a continuous stream. The register address is
automatically incremented or decremented (see the MSB/LSB
First Transfers section). CS must be raised at the end of the last
byte to be transferred, thereby ending the stream mode.
Communication Cycle—Instruction Plus Data
There are two parts to a communication cycle with the AD9518.
The first part writes a 16-bit instruction word into the AD9518,
coincident with the first 16 SCLK rising edges. The instruction
word provides the AD9518 serial control port with information
regarding the data transfer, which is the second part of the
communication cycle. The instruction word defines whether
the upcoming data transfer is a read or a write, the number of
bytes in the data transfer, and the starting register address for
the first byte of the data transfer.
Write
If the instruction word is for a write operation, the second part
is the transfer of data into the serial control port buffer of the
AD9518. Data bits are registered on the rising edge of SCLK.
The length of the transfer (1, 2, 3 bytes or streaming mode) is
indicated by two bits ([W1:W0]) in the instruction byte. When
the transfer is 1, 2, or 3 bytes, but not streaming, CS can be
raised after each sequence of eight bits to stall the bus (except
after the last byte, where it ends the cycle). When the bus is
stalled, the serial transfer resumes when CS is lowered. Raising CS
on a nonbyte boundary resets the serial control port. During a
write, streaming mode does not skip over reserved or blank
registers, and it does not matter what data is written to blank
registers.
Because data is written into a serial control port buffer area, not
directly into the actual control registers of the AD9518, an
additional operation is needed to transfer the serial control port
buffer contents to the actual control registers of the AD9518,
thereby causing them to become active. The update registers
operation consists of setting Register 0x232[0] = 1b (this bit is
self-clearing). Any number of bytes of data can be changed
before executing an update registers. The update registers
simultaneously actuates all register changes that have been
written to the buffer since any previous update.
