MCU MODE If MODE pin is set to High, DRF2018A113 will work in MCU mode under which D2/CLK, D1/DATA and D0/EN are functioned as input ports of serial data. Binary serial data is input from D1/DATA pin and transformed to parallel data by internal serial-to-parallel converting circuit. After analyzing group identification code (GIC), data will be transferred to reference frequency-dividing counter and channel frequency-dividing counter. Each bit of data is read into shift register at the rising edge of clock signal. LSB is input first and the last two bits (GIC) are used to decode the address of internal registers. At the rising edge of EN pin, data in shift register is loaded into counter designated by GIC. >=1us >=0.2us >=0.2us CLK DATA LSB >=0.2us bit1 bit2 bit3 GC2 MSB GC1 >=0.1us >=0.2us >=0.1us EN >=0.2us Figure 3: DRF2018A113 Serial Port Timing Sequence Notes: ⑴ LSB is input first to shift register ⑵ Module being powered on, the reference frequency divider is configured first and then the channel frequency divider.
