SC5412A Operating & Programming Manual

Rev 1.1.0

Initializing the Device

INITIALIZE (0x01)

- Writing 0x00 to this register will reset the device to the default power-on state.

Writing 0x01 will reset the device but leave it in the current state. The user has the ability to define the
default startup state by writing to the

STORE_STARTUP_STATE (0x1D)

register, described later in this

section.

Setting the System Active LED

SET_SYSTEM_ACTIVE (0x02)

-

This register simply turns on the front panel “active” LED with a write of

0x01, or turns off the LED with a write of 0x00. This register is generally written when the device driver
opens or closes the device.

Setting the RF Frequency

RF_FREQUENCY (0x10)

- This register provides the device frequency information to set up the filters

appropriately. Data is sent as a 40 bit word with the LSB in Hz.

Setting RF Input RF Amplifiers

RF_AMPLIFIER (0x12)

- This register enables or disables the RF amplifiers. Setting bit 0 low (0) disables

RF amplifier. Setting bit 0 high (1) enables RF amplifier.

Setting the RF Attenuation

RF_ATTENUATION (0x13)

–

Each of the attenuators is a 5 bit digital step attenuator with 1 dB per LSB.

Data is sent in 2 bytes; byte1 and bits [1:0] specifies the attenuator to program, and byte0 and bit [4:0]
specifies the attenuation value.

Setting the RF Path

RF_PATH (0x14)

–

Setting bit 0 low selects the main RF input path, while high will select the RF auxiliary

path.

Selecting the RF Filter

RF_FILTER_SELECT (0x15)

–

There are 9 RF filters to select from to improve RF input second harmonic

suppression. Bits [3:0] are used.

Selecting the LO Filter

LO_FILTER_SELECT (0x16)

–

There are 9 RF filters to select from to improve LO input second harmonic

suppression. Bits [3:0] are used.
