Single-Field Toggles
Single-field toggles occur in the next field only. There can be up to
four toggles in the field. The mode is set with GP_PROTOCOL
equal to 1, and the toggles are triggered in the next field by
writing to the MANUAL_TRIG register (Register 0x70, Bits[13:6]).
In this mode, the field toggle settings must be set to a value of 1.
Two consecutive fields do not have activity. If toggles are required
to repeat in the next field, the MANUAL_TRIG register can be
written to in consecutive fields.
Preparation
The GP toggle positions can be programmed any time prior to
use. For example,
0x7C ← 0x000A001
0x7D ← 0x0002000
0x7E ← 0x000000F
0x7F ← 0x00C4002
0x80 ← 0x0004000
0x81 ← 0x00000B3

NOTES
1. THE FIELD TOGGLE POSITION MUST BE SET TO 1 WHEN
GP PROTOCOL IS 1.
CAUTION! THE GP_PROTOCOL MUST BE RESET BEFORE
USING AGAIN.

Scheduled Toggles
Scheduled toggles are programmed to occur during upcoming
fields. For example, there can be one toggle in Field 1, two
toggles in Field 3, and a last toggle in Field 4. The mode is set
with GP_PROTOCOL = 5 or GP_PROTOCOL = 6. Mode 5
tells the GPO to obey the primary field counter, and Mode 6
tells the GPO to obey the secondary field counter.
Note that for GP_PROTOCOL = 5 or GP_PROTOCOL = 6, at
least one toggle must be programmed in Field 1 for the AD9920A
to output the proper pattern on the GPO pins. If no toggle is
programmed in Field 1, all subsequent toggle positions are
ignored when GP_PROTOCOL = 5 or GP_PROTOCOL = 6.
This restriction applies only to GP_PROTOCOL = 5 or
GP_PROTOCOL = 6.
Preparation
The GP toggle positions can be programmed any time prior to
use. For example,
0x7C ← 0x00C4001
0x7D ← 0x0004000
0x7E ← 0x00000B3

CAUTION! THE PRIMARY COUNTER REGULATES THE SUBCK

ONLY IF SUBCK AND VSG ACTIVITY WILL OCCUR DURING
