Low Latency Mode

The device provides a low latency mode of operation by bypassing the Digital Error Correction and all other digital features such as the decimation filter, test pattern or SDR LVDS for example. This operating mode achieves a latency of 9 clock cycles and can be used in applications such as low latency control loops. However, the AC performance can degrade since the Digital Error Correction block is bypassed. The following FFT plots compare the spectrum in Low Latency Mode and Normal operating mode. The Low Latency Mode can be enabled in the <LOW LATENCY EN> register (0x165).

The low latency mode is only available in DDR LVDS interface operation.
