Hi,
to be honest, it is hard to point out what is really wrong with your setup. Would you please send a pic of your setup?
Also, I have here step by step configuration for parallel mode on AD9914 eval board.
- Provide 1.8V and 3.3V
- Settings
- i. “Parallel Data Port Enable”, CFR2 bit 2 = Checked
ii. “Parallel port streaming enable”, CFR1 bit 17 = Unchecked
iii. “Profile Mode Enable”, CFR2 bit 23 = checked - iv. “Digital Ramp Enable”, CFR2 bit 19-20 = Unchecked
v. “Program Modulus”, CFR2 bit 16 = Unchecked- RESET-BUF tied to MCU to generate reset on power-up
- Programming Registers
If a RESET was performed only two registers needed to be sent
- 1. CFR2 = 0x00C00000 (SYNC_CLK off)
- 2. Profile0_FTW @ 500MHz --> 0x2C8590B2
- P203 to P205 changed to disable buffers
- PS[2:0] all tied to GND
- IOCFG[3:0] all tied to GND
Additional Notes:
If you want 8-bit mode, set MP100 (PWD) tied to GND.
MP102 (!WR) tied to MPU for write control.
IO_UPDATE tied to MPU for write control.
