ADA4355 SPI initialization and register read operations return 0x00

I'm working with the development board for the ADA4355 optical receiver and a Spartan 6 development board. I have my SPI Mode set to 0 (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0).

My SPI CLK is 6.25MHz. Per the datasheet and the development board startup page, I power up my FPGA dev board -> set CS low -> power on the ADA4355 dev board -> write the SPI start up sequence:

SPI_WRITE(0x00, 0x00);

SPI_WRITE(0x05, 0x02);

SPI_WRITE(0x22, 0x03);

SPI_WRITE(0x05, 0x31);

I've verified proper data from my FPGA matching the write command, address and data from my oscilloscope but when I try to read the device ID (should be 0x8B) from register 0x01, I receive 0x00.

Here is an picture of the SCLK and the SDIO on my oscilloscope during the read command (the far left is the end of the 0x31 write command). I noticed that when the read command is done the SDIO line goes high before the rest of the 16 bit command is entered - why is this?

  • I figured it out. On the demo board there are pins to enable the internal 1.8V LDO on the ADA4355. I now am receiving the correct 0x8B device code.

    I did find an error on either the datasheet or on the ADA4355 schematic. The schematic shows that pin F8 is 1P8VA_EN and that pin F7 is 1P8VD_EN while the datasheet shows that F7 is the only pin to enable the 1.8V LDO and that F8 is a 3.3V supply pin.

      

  • Hi SBK_Lou,

    Thank you for your interest on ADA4355 and sorry about the confusion.

    F8 (D23 in the FMC Connector, which is labeled as “1P8VA_EN”) needs to be driven by more than 1.2V to make the ADA4355 Application board work properly. The product datasheet shows the F8 as VCC, which is right, but this pin is connected to FMC connector in the application board and labeled "1P8VA_EN", so please drive it by more than 1.2V and less than 3.3V. 

    Thanks
