HARDWARE INTERFACE
The pins described in Table 13 constitute the physical interface
between the programming device of the user and the serial port
of the AD9231. The SCLK pin and the CSB pin function as inputs
when using the SPI interface. The SDIO pin is bidirectional,
functioning as an input during write phases and as an output
during readback.
The SPI interface is flexible enough to be controlled by
either FPGAs or microcontrollers. One method for SPI
configuration is described in detail in the AN-812 Appli-
cation Note, Microcontroller-Based Serial Port Interface
(SPI) Boot Circuit.
The SPI port should not be active during periods when the full
dynamic performance of the converter is required. Because the
SCLK signal, the CSB signal, and the SDIO signal are typically
asynchronous to the ADC clock, noise from these signals can
degrade converter performance. If the on-board SPI bus is used
for other devices, it may be necessary to provide buffers between
this bus and the AD9231 to prevent these signals from transi-
tioning at the converter inputs during critical sampling periods.
SDIO/DCS and SCLK/DFS serve a dual function when the
SPI interface is not being used. When the pins are strapped to
DRVDD or ground during device power-on, they are associated
with a specific function. The Digital Outputs section describes
the strappable functions supported on the AD9231.
CONFIGURATION WITHOUT THE SPI
In applications that do not interface to the SPI control registers,
the SDIO/DCS pin, the SCLK/DFS pin, the OEB pin, and the
PDWN pin serve as standalone CMOS-compatible control
pins. When the device is powered up, it is assumed that the
user intends to use the pins as static control lines for the duty
cycle stabilizer, output data format, output enable, and power-
down feature control. In this mode, connect the CSB chip select
to DRVDD, which disables the serial port interface.
