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

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

use. For example,
0x7C
← 0x00C4001
0x7D
