PRODMIX
The device has a built-in test pattern generator for simplifying the debugging and/or calibrating of the LVDS outputs. The test pattern generator is located after the DDC as show in Figure 8-66.
Enabling the test pattern generator (register <TEST PATTERN> in 0x14A) replaces all current output data samples, normal ADC or decimation data. The test pattern is the same for all channels. The test pattern block generates a 20 bit test pattern and the pattern is controlled by the value of the <TEST PATTERN> field.
In decimation, the test pattern block operates on the decimated clock by default and can be switched to run on the Fs clock by setting the <PATTERN CLK> field of register 0x14A. The test pattern feature can not be enabled in low latency operation mode.
The following register writes can be used to configure a ramp pattern with a step size of 1 with 14 bit resolution.
ADDR | DATA | DESCRIPTION |
---|---|---|
0x14A | 0x02 | Enable ramp pattern with customer step size |
0x14B | 0x0E | Step size is 14 LSB (at 20 bit resolution) equivalent to 1 LSB at 14 bit resolution (1 LSB at 16 bit is 0x10) |
