EEMEM PROTECTION
The write protect (
AA
WPEE
AA
) pin disables any changes to the
scratchpad register contents, except for the EEMEM setting,
which can still be restored using Instruction 1, Instruction 8,
and the
AA
PREE
AA
pulse. Therefore,
AA
WPEE
AA
can be used to provide a
hardware EEMEM protection feature.
DIGITAL INPUT AND OUTPUT CONFIGURATION
All digital inputs are ESD protected, high input impedance that
can be driven directly from most digital sources. Active at logic
low,
AA
PREE
AA
and
AA
WPEE
AA
must be tied to VDD, if they are not used. No
internal pull-up resistors are present on any digital input pins.
To avoid floating digital pins that might cause false triggering
in a noisy environment, add pull-up resistors. This is applicable
when the device is detached from the driving source when it is
programmed.
The SDO and RDY pins are open-drain digital outputs that only
need pull-up resistors if these functions are used. To optimize
the speed and power trade-off, use 2.2 k pull-up resistors.
The equivalent serial data input and output logic is shown in
Figure 25. The open-drain output SDO is disabled whenever
chip-select (

SERIAL DATA INTERFACE
The ADN2850 contains a 4-wire SPI-compatible digital
interface (SDI, SDO,
AA
CSEE
AA
, and CLK). The 24-bit serial data-word
must be loaded with MSB first. The format of the word is shown in
Table 7. The command bits (C0 to C3) control the operation of the
digital resistor according to the command shown i
n Table 8. A0
to A3 are the address bits. A0 is used to address RDAC1 or RDAC2.
Address 2 to Address 14 are accessible by users for extra EEMEM.
Address 15 is reserved for factory usage
. Table 10 provides an
address map of the EEMEM locations. D0 to D9 are the values
for the RDAC registers. D0 to D15 are the values for the EEMEM
registers.
The ADN2850 has an internal counter that counts a multiple of
24 bits (a frame) for proper operation. For example, ADN2850
works with a 24-bit or 48-bit word, but it cannot work properly
with a 23-bit or 25-bit word. To prevent data from mislocking
(due to noise, for example), the counter resets, if the count is not a
multiple of four when
AA
CSEE
AA
goes high but remains in the register if it
is multiple of four. In addition, the ADN2850 has a subtle
feature that, if
AA
CSEE
AA
is pulsed without CLK and SDI, the part
repeats the previous command (except during power-up). As a
result, care must be taken to ensure that no excessive noise exists in
the CLK or
AA
CSEE
AA
line that might alter the effective number-of-bits
pattern.
The SPI interface can be used in two slave modes: CPHA = 1,
CPOL = 1 and CPHA = 0, CPOL = 0. CPHA and CPOL refer to
the control bits that dictate SPI timing in the following
M68HC11, MC68HC16R1, and MC68HC916R1.
DAISY-CHAIN OPERATION
The serial data output pin (SDO) serves two purposes. It can be
used to read the contents of the wiper setting and EEMEM values
using Instruction 10 and Instruction 9, respectively. The remaining
instructions (Instruction 0 to Instruction 8, Instruction 11 to
Instruction 15) are valid for daisy-chaining multiple devices in
simultaneous operations. Daisy-chaining minimizes the number
of port pins required from the controlling IC (see
Figure 28). The
SDO pin contains an open-drain N-Ch FET that requires a pull-up
resistor, if this function is used. As shown i
n Figure 28, users need
to tie the SDO pin of one package to the SDI pin of the next package.
Users may need to increase the clock period because the pull-up
