Programming Options
Parallel/Serial Selection
Either a Parallel or Serial addressable interface can
be used to control the PE44820. The P/S bit provides
this selection, with P/S = LOW selecting the Parallel
interface and P/S = HIGH selecting the Serial-
addressable interface.
Parallel Mode Interface
The Parallel interface consists of nine CMOS-
compatible control lines that select the desired phase
state, as shown in Table 5.
The Parallel interface timing requirement s are defined
by Figure 5 (Latched Parallel/Direct Parallel Timing
Diagram) and Table 7 (Parallel and Direct Interface
AC Characteristics).
For Latched Parallel programming, the Latch Enable
(LE) should be held LOW while changing phase state
control values, then pulse LE HIGH to LOW (per
Figure 5) to latch new phase state into device.
For Direct Parallel programming, the LE line should
be pulled HIGH. Changing a phase st ate control value
will change the device state to a new phase. Direct
mode is ideal for manual control of the device (using
hardware, switches or jumpers).
Serial Interface
The Serial addressable interface is a 13-bit Serial-In,
Parallel-Out shift register buffered by a transparent
latch. The 13 bits make up two words comprising 9
data and 4 address bits. The first word is the Phase
Word, which controls the state of the DPS. The
second W ord is the Address W ord , which is compared
to the static (or programmed) logical states of the A0–
A3 digital state; othe rwise, it s current st ate will remain
unchanged. Figure 4 and Figure 6 illustrate
examples of timing diagrams for progr amming a state.
The Serial interface is controlled using three CMOS-
compatible signals: Serial In (SI), Clock (CLK) and
Latch Enable (LE). The SI and CLK inputs allow data
to be serially entered into the shift register. Serial data
is clocked in LSB first, beginning with the Phase
Word.
SDO1 is provided to connect several devices in
parallel to the serial bus. SDO1 is a non-inverting
buffered output of SI. SDO1 changes state with SI
without regard to CLK. This is useful to connect
multiple devices with different serial addresses to the
serial controller without the need for additional
external logic buffers.
SDO2 is the buffered output of the last bit of the
internal shift register and changes state on the rising
edge of the clock.
