AN-745 AD9985 Auto-Offset Function Application Note
The document describes the implementation of the auto-offset feature in the AD9985 Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC). This function monitors the output during the clamp period to calculate and adjust the required offset setting automatically. When enabled via Register 0x1D, the circuit compares the actual output code against target codes set in Registers 0x19 through 0x1B to compensate for signal levels.
The guide provides detailed definitions for offset registers (0x0B to 0x0D) and auto-offset related registers (0x19 to 0x1D), explaining their behavior in both manual and auto-offset modes. It includes specific instructions on programming target codes for RGB and YPbPr signals, setting update modes, and performing brightness adjustments using signed two's complement values.
