REGISTER FUNCTIONS
The user-programmable registers can be used to determine the mode of operation (MUX), operating
frequency (DAC, OFFSET, DIV), and bus settings (ADDR). The functions of the registers are described
in this section, but details of how these registers are programmed can be found in a later section. The
register settings are nonvolatile, with the values being stored automatically or as required in EEPROM
when the registers are programmed through the SDA and SCL pins.

The DAC word (d0–d9) controls the frequency of the master oscillator. The resolution of this register
depends on the step size of the device. The absolute frequency of the device also depends on the value of
the OFFSET register (see Table 5 and 6).

For any given value of OFFSET the master oscillator frequency can be derived as follows:
Frequency = Min Frequency + DAC x Step Size
where: Min frequency is the lowest frequency shown in Table 6 for the corresponding offset.
DAC is the value of the DAC register (0–1023).
Step size is the step size of the device (10kHz, 25kHz, or 50kHz).
OS is the decimal, integer value of the five MSBs of the RANGE register.

The OFFSET byte (O0–O4) determines the range of frequencies that can be obtained within the absolute
minimum and maximum range of the oscillator. Correct operation of the device is not guaranteed for
values of OFFSET not shown in Table 6.
