PRODUCTION DATA
The input shift register, Figure 6-2, has sixteen bits. The first two bits are don't care bits, and are followed by two bits that determine the mode of operation (normal mode or one-of-three power-down modes). The contents of the serial input register are transferred to the DAC register on the sixteenth falling edge of SCLK. See also Figure 5-1.
Normally, the SYNC line is kept low for at least 16 falling edges of SCLK and the DAC is updated on the 16th SCLK falling edge. However, if SYNC is brought high before the 16th falling edge, the shift register is reset and the write sequence is invalid. In this case, the DAC register is not updated, and there is no change in the mode of operation or in the output voltage.
