86
VG_CLAMP_
MODE
VGA Clamp Mode Enable. Drive VG_CLAMP_MODE high to enable high VGA clamp mode. VGA
output is clamped at typically 2.4V
P-P
differential. Drive VG_CLAMP_MODE low to enable low VGA
clamp mode. VGA output is clamped at typically 2.8V
P-P
differential.
88 LOAD
Serial Port Load. Loads the data from the serial shift registers into the I/Q phase dividers. Pull LOAD
bus from high to low, and from low to high for programming the I/Q phase dividers.
