These two pins should be separated on the PCB and decoupled respectively with 0.1-µF capacitors. When LDO_EN L4=DVSS, the internal LDOs are disabled. External higher performance 1.4-V supply can be applied to N4 and N6 for minimizing digital noise emission. " Go

  • Changed M6 pin description to "Sets the internal LDO votlage. Logic "1" or tie to 1.8-V DVDD sets the LDO output as 1.4V. It can be tied to DVSS when the internal LDO is disabled. " Go

  • Added a note "When the complete power-down mode is enabled, the digital demodulator may lose register settings. Therefore it is required to reconfigure the demodulator registers, filter coefficient memory and profile memory after existing the complete power down mode. " Go
  • Added a note to Register 3[7:0] "Suppose device is giving digital output of "11001100001111". After enabling this bit, output of device will become "00110011110000". Please note this function is not applicable for ADC test patterns and in demod mode." Go
  • Added "Test pattern from the ADC output stage can NOT be sent to the demodulator; it can only be sent to the LVDS serializer when the demodulator is off. " to TEST_PATTERN_MODES: Address: 2[15:13]Go
  • Added a note for Reg.0x3D[15] " Note: This bit is ONLY valid when PGA=24dB." Go

  • Added Shifted output figures when DEC_SHIFT_SCALE=0 or 1Go
  • Added note "A trigger is required to make new settings effective, such as profile RAM, coefficient RAM, and PROFILE_INDX Reg.0x0E[15:11] —either an external trigger event through the TX_SYNC_IN pin or a manual trigger event through Register 0[2]. PROFILE_INDX Reg.0x0E[15:11] must be reprogrammed to ensure new profile and filter RAMs loaded correctly. ADC CLK is required during profile and coefficent RAM programming. "in Profile RAM and Coefficient RAMGo

  • Deleted "The digital demodulator also has four power-down controls... in Power Management Priority" Go
  • Added a note "When the complete power-down mode is enabled, the digital demodulator may lose register settings. Therefore, it is required to reconfigure the demodulator registers, filter coefficient memory, and profile memory after exiting the complete power-down mode. " Go
  • Edited Layout Guidelines: "To avoid noise coupling through supply pins, it is recommended to keep sensitive input net classes, such as INM, INP, ACT pins, away from AVDD 3.3 V, AVDD_5V, DVDD, AVDD_ADC, DVDD_LDO1/2 nets or planes. For example, vias connected to these pins should NOT be routed across any supply plane. That is to avoid power planes under INM, INP, and ACT pins. "Go
