AD9984A
2-WIRE SERIAL REGISTER MAP
The AD9984A is initialized and controlled by a set of registers that determine the operating modes. An external controller is employed to
write and read the control registers through the 2-wire serial interface port.

Description
An 8-bit register that represents the silicon revision level.
The 8 MSBs (Bits[11:4] of the PLL Divider. Larger values mean the PLL
operates at a faster rate. This register should be loaded first when a
change is needed. (This gives the PLL more time to lock).
1
The 4 LSBs (Bits[3:0]) of the PLL Divider. Links to the PLL Div MSB to
make a 12-bit register.
1
VCO Range Select. Chooses the VCO frequency range (see the Clock
Generation section).
Charge Pump Current. Varies the current that drives the low-pass filter
(see the Clock Generation section).
External Clock Enable.
ADC Clock Phase Adjust. Larger values mean more delay. (1 LSB = T/32).
The 7 MSBs of the Red Channel Gain Control. Controls ADC input range
(contrast) of each respective channel. Larger values give less contrast.
The 2 LSBs of the Red Channel Gain Control. Links with Register 0x05
to form the 9-bit red gain that controls the ADC input range (contrast)
of the red channel. A lower value corresponds to a higher gain.
1
The 7 MSBs of the Green Channel Gain Control. Controls ADC input
range (contrast) of each respective channel. Larger values give less
contrast.
The 2 LSBs of the Green Channel Gain Control. Links to Register 0x07
to form the 9-bit green gain that controls the ADC input range (contrast)
of the green channel. A lower value corresponds to a higher gain.
1
The 7 MSBs of the Blue Channel Gain Control. Controls ADC input range
(contrast) of each respective channel. Larger values give less contrast.
The 2 LSBs of the Blue Channel Gain Control. Links to Register 0x09
to form the 9-bit blue gain that controls the ADC input range (contrast)
of the blue channel. A lower value corresponds to a higher gain.
1
The 8 MSBs of the Red Channel Offset Control. Controls dc offset
(brightness) of each respective channel. Larger values decrease
brightness.
1
The 3 LSBs of the Red Channel Offset Control. Links to Register 0x0B
to form the 11-bit red offset that controls the dc offset (brightness)
of the red channel in auto-offset mode.
The 8 MSBs of the Green Channel Offset Control. Controls dc offset
(brightness) of each respective channel. Larger values decrease
brightness.
1
The 3 LSBs of the Green Channel Offset Control. Links to Register 0x0D
to form the 11-bit green offset that controls the dc offset (brightness)
of the green channel in auto-offset mode.
The 8 MSBs of the Blue Channel Offset Control. Controls dc offset
(brightness) of each respective channel. Larger values decrease
brightness.
1
The 3 LSBs of the Blue Channel Offset Control. Links to Register 0x0F
to form the 11-bit blue offset that controls the dc offset (brightness)
of the blue channel in auto-offset mode.
Sets the threshold of the sync separator’s digital comparator.
