Is AD9910 IO_UPDATE line gated by chip select?

Thread Summary

The user asks if multiple AD9910 DDS chips can share a common IO_UPDATE line, independent of chip select. The final answer confirms that the IO_UPDATE line is not gated by chip select, so sharing it could cause old data to be transferred to active registers. The engineer recommends using separate IO_UPDATE lines for each AD9910 to avoid unintended updates, even though the chips can share the serial data clock and data lines.

Hi,

I have a few AD9910s that need to share a common serial port from my MCU. I use chip select to enable serial IO to one device at a time.

My question is: Can several AD9910s share a common IO UPDATE line? Is the IO UPDATE line enabled by chip select? It's not clear in the data sheet.

Cheers,

David
