Additional Pulse Amplitude Settings for DS2148, DS21348, DS21Q48, DS21Q348 and DS21448

要約

This application note shows how to use undocumented settings to modify output amplitudes.

Introduction

This application note provides the register settings for the DS2148/DS21348/DS21Q48/DS213Q48 and DS21448 to configure the transmitter for pulse amplitudes that are different than the line build-out (LBO) modes documented in the respective data sheets. The following tables list the register settings and define the resulting pulse amplitudes for the 3.3V (DS21348, DS21Q348) and 5V (DS2148, DS21Q48) devices.

In addition to the these settings, additional pulse amplitudes can be obtained in the following devices by setting test register 2 (Address 14h) as per Table 3.

Table 3. Additional Pulse Amplitude Settings

PULSE AMPLITUDE
E1 DS21348, DS21Q348 C1 D0 38% enhancement over LBO setting 0, 1, 2, and 3
DS21348, DS21Q348, DS2148, DS21Q48 C1 E0 19% enhancement over LBO setting 0, 1, 2, and 3
T1/J1 DS21348, DS21Q348 C1 D0 38% enhancement over LBO setting 0, 5, 6, and 7
DS21348, DS21Q348, DS2148, DS21Q48 C1 E0 19% enhancement over LBO setting 0, 5, 6, and 7
E1
DS21448 A1 D0 33% enhancement over LBO setting 0, 1, 2, and 3
T1/J1
DS21448 A1 D0 33% enhancement over LBO setting 0, 5, 6, and 7

In addition to the above settings, writing a HEX BO in address 14h (register TEST2) reduces any tendency of the waveform to ring.
