2-WIRE SERIAL REGISTER MAP
The AD9983A is initialized and controlled by a set of registers that determine the operating modes. An external controller is employed to
write and read the control registers through the 2-wire serial interface port.

PLL Div MSB
This register is for Bits [11:4] of the PLL divider. Larger values mean
the PLL operates at a faster rate. This register should be loaded first
whenever a change is needed. (This will give the PLL more time to
