Operational Information
The functions of the FX506 are selected and controlled using the 47-bit Serial Data Input. This
application section assists in the familiarization of control by providing example operational paths
and system confidence tests.
The signal levels employed in these examples are to demonstrate the functions of the device.
Maximum and minimum operational signal levels are detailed in the “Specification” pages. A final
output signal level of 2.2V p-p is considered, operationally, to be 100% (FM deviation).
Set-up and enter the example data word in accordance with Figures 2 and 4.
Test the FX506 using levels and points detailed in Tables 1, 2 and 3.
Experimentation will indicate the signal element configuration and required control settings for
various input and output levels.
Transmit Path – The Serial Data word below will produce the transmit element configuration shown in Figure 8.
