Eight-Level Modulation—No RU/RD
The modulation level bits (FR1[9:8]) are set to 10 (eight-level).
The AFP select bits (CFR[23:22]) are set to a nonzero value.
The RU/RD bits (FR1[11:10]) and the linear sweep enable bit
(CFR[14]) are disabled. Note that the AFP select bits of the
three channels not being used must be set to 00. Table 11 shows
the assignment of profile pins and channels.
For the condition in Table 11, the choice of channel word registers
is based on the 3-bit value presented to Profile Pins [P0:P2]. For
example, if PPC = X10 and [P0:P2] = 111, the contents of the
Channel Word 7 register of Channel 2 are presented to the output
of Channel 2.
16-Level Modulation—No RU/RD
The modulation level bits (FR1[9:8]) are set to 11 (16-level). The
AFP select bits (CFR[23:22]) are set to the desired modulation
type. The RU/RD bits (FR1[11:10]) and the linear sweep enable
bit (CFR[14]) are disabled. The AFP select bits of the three
channels not being used must be set to 00. Table 12 displays how
the profile pins and channels are assigned.
For the conditions in Table 12, the profile register chosen is
based on the 4-bit value presented to Profile Pins [P0:P3].
For example, if PPC = X11 and [P0:P3] = 1110, the contents of
the Channel Word 14 register of Channel 3 is presented to the
output of Channel 3.
Two-Level Modulation Using Profile Pins for RU/RD
When the RU/RD bits = 01, Profile Pin P2 and Profile Pin P3
are available for RU/RD. Note that only a modulation level of
two is available in this mode. See Table 13 for available pin
assignments.
Eight-Level Modulation Using a Profile Pin for RU/RD
When the RU/RD bits = 10, Profile Pin P3 is available for RU/RD.
Note that only a modulation level of eight is available in this
mode. See Table 14 for available pin assignments.
