GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This user guide contains a description of all of the user-programmable bits in the AD9361. When applicable, the map lists units, (such as
dBFS) that the bits correspond to, the range of acceptable values, and the resolution of the value (such as 1 dB/LSB).
In many cases, multiple bits or bytes work together to serve a particular function (for example, those used to configure automatic gain
control and those used to configure the digital interface). This section describes each bit but more information is available in the AD9361
Reference Manual.
While the register map is provided as a convenience for those who want to understand the low level operation of the part, it is not
recommended to attempt to create your own software. Analog Devices provides complete drivers for the AD9361 for both bare metal/No-
OS and operating systems (Linux). The AD9361 and AD9364 share the same API. The AD9361 and AD9364 drivers can be found at:
Linux wiki page
No-OS wiki page
Support for these drivers can be found at:
Linux engineer zone page
No-OS engineer zone page
Complete specifications for the AD9361 part can be found in the AD9361 data sheet, which is available from Analog Devices, Inc., and
should be consulted in conjunction with this user guide when using the evaluation board.

GENERAL SETUP AND DIGITAL DATA PORT CONFIGURATION
CHIP LEVEL SETUP REGISTERS (ADDRESS 0x000 THROUGH ADDRESS 0x007)
There are many thousands of filter and divider setting permutations, most of which are not valid operating modes. Analog Devices
strongly recommends that customers use the software to program the AD9361 filters and clock dividers.

SPI Register 0x000—SPI Configuration
This register is symmetrical (for example, Bit D6 is the same as
Bit D1). The AD9361 powers up with a default SPI operation of
MSB first. This register allows the BBP to write any bits in
Register 0x000 without having to reverse the bit order in the SPI
command. Symmetrical bits are OR’ed together so setting one
sets both.
D7 and D0—Must be 0
D6 and D1—3-Wire SPI
When clear, SPI_DI pin is an input pin. When set, SPI_DI is
bidirectional and SPI_DO is high impedance.
D5 and D2—LSB First
When clear, the SPI uses an MSB first format. When set, the SPI
uses an LSB first format.
SPI Register 0x001—Multichip Sync and Tx Monitor
Control
D6—Tx2 Monitor Enable
This bit forces the Tx2 Monitor Path on. This will shut down
the normal receive path. The receive path will not power up
even when the ENSM moves to the Rx state. When this bit is set
the signal at the Tx Mon 2 pin is sent as I and Q data to the Rx
data port. To use transmit power monitoring, see the SPI
Register 0x057—Analog Power Down Override and SPI
Register 0x06E—TPM Mode Enable sections.
D5—Tx1 Monitor Enable
This bit functions the same as Bit D6 but for the Tx_MON1 pin.
D3—MCS RF Enable
Setting this bit keeps the RF LO dividers enabled in Alert mode
so that the phase relationship between multiple devices remains
constant. If the bit is clear, the dividers power down in Alert
mode. The respective LO dividers also power down in FDD
Independent mode when the Rx or Tx paths are disabled if the
bit is clear.
D2—MCS BBPLL Enable
To synchronize the BBPLLs of multiple devices, write this bit
high and then provide a sync pulse to SYNC_IN.
D1—MCS Digital CLK Enable
To synchronize the digital clocks of multiple AD9361 devices,
first synchronize the BBPLLs, then write this bit high and
provide a sync pulse to the SYNC_IN pin.
D0—MCS BB Enable
Setting this bit enables the capability of baseband multichip
digital synchronization. See also 0x001[D2:D1].

SPI Register 0x010—Parallel Port Configuration 1
D7—PP Tx Swap IQ
Clearing this bit swaps I and Q (performs spectral inversion).
D6—PP Rx Swap IQ
This bit functions the same as Bit D7 but for the Rx path.
D5—Tx Channel Swap
Setting this bit swaps the positions of Tx1 and Tx2 samples.
D4—Rx Channel Swap
This bit functions the same as Bit D5 but for the Rx path.
D3—Rx Frame Pulse Mode
The AD9361 outputs an Rx frame sync signal indicating the
beginning of an Rx frame. When this bit is clear, Rx frame goes
high coincident with the first valid receive sample. It stays high
as long as the receivers are enabled. When this bit is set, the Rx
frame signal toggles with a duty cycle of 50%.
D2—2R2T Timing
When set, the data port uses 2R2T timing, regardless of the
number of enabled transmitters and receivers. When clear, the
timing reflects the number of enabled signal paths.
D1—Invert Data Bus
Inverts the data port(s) from [11:0] to [0:11].
D0—Invert DATA CLK
Setting this bit inverts DATA_CLK.
SPI Register 0x011—Parallel Port Configuration 2
D7—FDD Alt Word Order
Valid only in full duplex, dual port, full port mode. When this
bit is set, each port splits into two 6-bit halves. Rx1 uses 6 bits of
a port and Rx2 uses the other 6 bits of the port (receivers are
not interleaved). Tx1 and Tx2 are organized similarly.
[D6:D5]—Must be 0
D4—Invert Tx1
Setting this bit digitally multiplies the Tx1 signal by −1.
D3—Invert Tx2
Setting this bit digitally multiplies the Tx2 signal by −1.
D2—Invert Rx Frame
Setting this bit inverts Rx frame.
[D1:D0]—Delay Rx Data[1:0]
These bits set the delay of the Rx data relative to Rx frame,
measured in ½ DATA_CLK cycles for DDR and full
DATA_CLK cycles for SDR.
SPI Register 0x012—Parallel Port Configuration 3
D7—FDD Rx Rate = 2*Tx Rate
When clear, the Rx sample rate is equal to the Tx sample rate.
When set, the Rx rate is twice the Tx rate. This bit can only be
set when Bit D3 of Register 0x012 is clear (full duplex mode).
D6—Swap Ports
Setting this bit swaps Port 0 and Port 1. Must be clear for LVDS
mode.
D5—Single Data Rate
When clear, both edges of DATA_CLK are used. When set, only
one edge of is used.

UG-671 AD9361 Register Map Reference Manual
Rev. 0 | Page 10 of 72
D4—LVDS Mode
When clear, the data port uses single-ended CMOS. Set this bit
to use LVDS. Full duplex (0x012[D3] clear), DDR (0x012[D5]
clear), and dual port mode (0x012[D2] clear) are required.
D3—Half-Duplex Mode
Clearing the bit allows simultaneous bi-directional data. Setting
the bit allows data to flow in only one direction at a time.
Normally, this bit equals the inverse of 0x013[D0].
D2—Single Port Mode
When clear, P0 and P1 ports are both used. When set, only one
data port is used.
D1—Full Port
Used only in full duplex mode ([D3] clear) and dual port mode
(D2 clear). Setting this bit forces the receivers to be on one port
and the transmitters to be on the on the other port. Clearing the
bit mixes receivers and transmitters on each port.
D0—Full Duplex Swap Bit
This bit toggles between the bits used for receive data and those
used for transmit data with one exception. If the FDD Alt Word
Order bit (0x011[D7]) is set, then the effect is to swap the most
significant 6 bits with the least significant 6 bits. It is not always
valid to set this bit.

SPI Register 0x013—ENSM Mode
Bit D0 controls the ENSM. Clear for TDD mode; set for FDD
mode.
SPI Register 0x014—ENSM Config 1
D7—Enable Rx Data Port for Cal
In TDD mode, during the Tx state, setting this bit enables the
Rx data port. If Tx monitor(s) are also enabled, the Tx monitor
I/Q data will be present on the Rx I/O port.
D6—Force Rx On
Setting this bit puts the ENSM into the Rx state when operating
in TDD mode. It is ignored in FDD mode. Clearing this bit
moves the ENSM back to the alert state via the Rx flush state
and during this state the ENSM ignores SPI commands that
affect it.
D5—Force Tx On
Setting this bit puts the ENSM into the transmit state when
operating in TDD mode. In FDD mode, setting this bit puts the
ENSM into the FDD state. Clearing this bit moves the ENSM
back to the alert state vis the Flush state(s) and during this state,
the ENSM ignores SPI commands that affect it.
D4—ENSM Pin Control
When set, the ENSM responds to the enable and TXNRX
signals and changes states accordingly. When clear, SPI writes to
bits in Register 0x014 to change the state.
D3—Level Mode
When clear, enable pulses move the ENSM among its states.
When this bit is set, the level of the ENABLE pin and (in TDD
mode) the level of the TXNRX signal determines the state.
D2—Force Alert State
If the ENSM is in the wait state, settting this bit forces the
ENSM to the alert state. From any other state, setting this bit
moves the ENSM to the alert state if the To Alert bit (D0) is set,
else it moves the ENSM to the wait state.
D1—Auto Gain Lock
Only applies if the Gain Unlock Control bit (0x0FB[D6]) is set
and only when the AGC is used in fast attack mode. Setting this
bit allows the gain to stay locked even if certain overload
conditions occur.
D0—To Alert
If clear, the ENSM always moves from the Rx, Tx, or FDD states
to the wait state. If this bit is set, the ENSM moves to the alert
state.
SPI Register 0x015—ENSM Config 2
D7—FDD External Control Enable
Only applies when ENSM FDD Mode bit (0x013[D0]) is set.
Setting this bit allows independent control of the receivers and
transmitters using the ENABLE and TXNRX signals, and is
commonly referred to as FDD Independent Control Mode.
D6—Power Down Rx Synth
Test bit, normally clear. Set to power down the Rx RF
synthesizer.
D5—Power Down Tx Synth
Test bit, normally clear. Set to power down the Tx RF
synthesizer.
D4—TXNRX SPI Control
Only used in single synthesizer mode (Bit D2 clear) and Synth
Enable Pin Control Mode (Bit D3) clear. See 0x015[D3].

D3—Synth Pin Control Mode
Used in single synthesizer mode (Bit D2 clear). When set, the
TXNRX pin controls which RF synthesizer is enabled. When
clear, Bit D4 controls which synthesizer is enabled.
D2—Dual Synth Mode
If clear, only one RF synthesizer is on at any given time. When
set, both synthesizers are always on.
D1—Rx Synth Ready Mask
Normally clear. When clear, the ENSM won’t move to the Rx
state unless the Rx RF VCO has successfully calibrated. When
set, the ENSM disregards the VCO calibration status.

D3—Rx Gain Step Cal
Setting this bit starts an LNA and mixer gain step calibration
and self-clears when the calibration completes. An external RF
signal must be present at the Rx inputs.
D1—DC Cal RF Start
The ad9361_rf_dc_offset_calib function configures and runs
the RF DC calibration. Setting this bit performs an RF DC
offset calibration of the Rx signal paths and the bit self-clears
when the calibration completes.
D0—DC Cal BB Start

The ad9361_gpo_setup function configures the GPOs. See the
AuxADC and AuxDAC sections to configure the auxiliary
converters. (See also the AuxADC/AuxDAC/GPO/ Temp
Sensor section of the AD9361 Reference Manual.) When the
AD9361 powers up into the sleep state, the default register
values define the GPO logic levels. Thus, the GPOs will auto-
toggle and GPO_0 and GPO_1 will be high while GPO_2 and
GPO_3 will be low.
SPI Register 0x020—Auto GPO
[D7:D4]—GPO Enable Auto Rx[3:0]
This nibble controls which GPO pins change state when the
ENSM enters the Rx state. Bit D7 controls GPO_3, Bit D6
controls GPO_2, Bit D5 controls GPO_1, and Bit D4 controls
GPO_0. These bits are ignored if 0x026[D4] is set.
[D3:D0]—GPO Enable Auto Tx[3:0]
These bits function the same as D7:D4 but apply when the
ENSM enters the Tx state. These bits are ignored if Register
0x026[D4] is set.
SPI Register 0x021—AGC Gain Lock Delay
Only applies if 0x014[D1] and 0xFB[D6] are set, allowing the
gain to stay locked even if certain overload conditions occur.
SPI Register 0x022—AGC Attack Delay
D6—Invert Bypassed LNA Polarity
The LNA output phase rotates by approximately 180° when it is
bypassed (index 0). Setting this bit corrects for this rotation.

UG-671 AD9361 Register Map Reference Manual
Rev. 0 | Page 16 of 72
[D5:D0]—AGC Attack Delay
Applies to the fast AGC. The AGC Attack Delay prevents the
AGC from starting its algorithm until the receive path has
settled. The delay counter starts when the ENSM enters the
Rx state. Units: microseconds, resolution: 1 µs/LSB, range: 0
through 31 microseconds. For the value in microseconds to
be accurate, Register 0x03A must be set correctly.
SPI Register 0x023—AuxDAC Enable Control
[D7:D6]—AuxDAC Manual Bar[1:0]
Clearing Bit D7 manually enables AuxDAC2. Clearing Bit D6
manually enables AuxDAC1. These bits are ignored if Register
0x026[D7] is clear.
[D5:D4]—AuxDAC Auto Tx Bar[1:0]
Clearing Bit D5 causes AuxDAC2 to change state when the
ENSM enters the Tx state. Bit D4 controls AuxDAC1 in the
same manner. These bits are ignored if 0x026[D7] is set.
[D3:D2]—AuxDAC Auto Rx Bar[1:0]
Clearing Bit D3 causes AuxDAC2 to change state when the
ENSM enters the Rx state. Bit D2 controls AuxDAC1 in the
same manner. These bits are ignored if 0x026[D7] is set.
[D1:D0]—AuxDAC Initial Bar[1:0]
Clearing Bit D1 sets the state of AuxDAC2 to on when the
ENSM is in the Alert state. Bit D0 controls AuxDAC1 in the
same manner. These bits are ignored if 0x026[D7] is set.
SPI Register 0x024—Must be x02
SPI Register 0x025—Must be x02

When clear, the AuxDAC states slaves to the ENSM. When set,
SPI writes to Register 0x023[D7:D6] manually control the state
of the AuxDACs.
D6—External LNA 2 Control
When set, the Ext LNA Ctrl bit in the Rx2 gain table sets the
GPO_1 state.
D5—External LNA 1 Control
This bit functions the same as Bit D6 but applies to the Rx1 gain
table and GPO_0.
D4—GPO Manual Select
When clear, the GPOs slave to the ENSM. When set,
0x027[D7:D4] sets the value of the GPOs.
SPI Register 0x027—GPO Force and Init
[D7:D4]—GPO Manual Control[3:0]
When clear, the GPOs are logic low. When set, the GPOs are
logic high. Bit D7 controls GPO_3, Bit D6 controls GPO_2,
Bit D5 controls GPO_1, and Bit D4 controls GPO_0. Only
applies when Register 0x026[D4] is set.
[D3:D0]—GPO Init State[3:0]
When clear, the GPOs are logic low in the sleep, wait, and alert
states and when set, the GPOs are logic high. Bit D3 controls
GPO_3, D2 controls GPO_2, D1 controls GPO_1, and Bit D0
controls GPO_0. Only applicable when the GPO states are
slaved to the ENSM. Only applicable if 0x026[D4] is clear.
SPI Registers 0x028 Through 0x02B—GPOn Rx
Delay[7:0]
Only applicable if the GPOs are slaved to the ENSM (Register
0x026[D4] clear). These registers set the delay from ENSM
changing to Rx to the time that the GPOs change logic level:
1 µs/LSB with a range from 0 µs to 255 µs. The delay from
ENSM change of Rx to alert is always fixed, allowing for the
Rx flush state before changing the GPO states. Register 0x03A
must be set correctly for the delay resolution to be 1 µs/LSB.
SPI Register 0x02C Through SPI Register 0x02F—GPOn
Tx Delay[7:0]
These registers function the same as Register 0x028 to Register
0x02B but for the transition from the alert state to the Rx state.
SPI Register 0x030 Through SPI Register 0x033—
AuxDACn Rx/Tx Delay[7:0]
These delays affect the state of the AuxDACs similar to how
Register 0x028 through Register 0x02B affect the GPOs. Only
applicable if Register 0x026[D7] is clear.

D4—Rx LO Power Down
Setting this bit powers down the Rx LO dividers if MCS RF is
disabled (Register 0x001[D3] = 0). If MCS RF is enabled, the
ENSM state machine enables and disables the Rx LO dividers.
This state machine also enables and disables the Rx synthesizer.
Thus, if D4 is set and MCS RF is enabled, the Rx LO dividers
power up and down when the Rx synthesizer powers up and
down. The Rx LO dividers are always powered down for
external VCO operation.
D3—Rx Synth VCO ALC Power Down
Setting this bit powers down the Rx synthesizer VCO automatic
level control.
D2—Rx Synth PTAT Power Down
The PTAT is a temperature-compensated current used for the
Rx synthesizer. This bit is OR’ed with the inverse of
0x242[D4:D3]. To turn off PTAT, set 0x050[D2] and clear
0x242[D4:D3]. The synth can still operate but it will not be
temperature-compensated.

SPI Register 0x060—Tx Filter Coefficient Address
The digital filter coefficients are indirectly addressable. The
word in this register is the address of the coefficient.
SPI Register 0x061 and SPI Register 0x062—Tx Filter
Coefficient Write Data n
Write the coefficient value to these registers. Write these
registers (along with Register 0x060) before setting 0x065[D2].
Coefficients are 16-bit words in twos complement format. The
least significant bit is bit 0.
SPI Register 0x063 and SPI Register0x064—Tx Filter
Coefficient Read Data n
To read coefficients, write the address in Register 0x060 and
then read Register 0x063 and Register 0x064. Coefficients are
16-bit words in twos complement format. The least significant
bit is bit 0.
SPI Register 0x065—Tx Filter Configuration

The number of taps (see Equation 11) must be correct.
# =16 × ( + 1) (11)
[D4:D3] —Select Tx CH[1:0]
When writing coefficients, Bit D3 causes a write to Tx1, Bit D4
causes a write to Tx2 and both bits set writes to both Tx filters.
When reading coefficients, setting both bits is invalid.
D2—Write Tx
Set this self-clearing bit to write a coefficient. Each write
operation must set this bit. After the table has been
programmed, write to Register 0x065 with the Write Tx bit
cleared and D0 high. Then, write to Register 0x065 again with
D0 clear, thus ensuring that the write bit resets internally before
the clock stops. Wait 4 Tx sample periods after setting D2 high
while the data writes into the table.
D1—Start Tx Clock
Set this bit to start the programming clock when writing
coefficients.
D0—Filter Gain
Setting this bit attenuates the digital samples by 6 dB.

When reading coefficients, write the address in 0x0F0, write
Register 0x0F5 to start the programming clock, then read
Register 0x0F3 and Register 0x0F4. Coefficients are in twos
complement form, 16-bits wide.
SPI Register 0x0F5—Rx Filter Configuration
[D7:D5]—Number of Taps[2:0]
The number of taps of the Rx filter must be correct, per
Table 40. The number of taps can be read by first writing to
Register 0x0F5 to turn on the clock, select the correct receiver,
and read Register 0x0F5.

[D4:D3]—Select Rx CH[1:0]
When writing coefficients, Bit D3 causes a write to Rx1, Bit D4
causes a write to Rx2 and both bits set writes to both Rx filters.
When reading, setting both bits is an invalid case.
D2—Write Rx
Set this self-clearing bit to write a coefficient. Each write
operation must set this bit. After the table has been pro-
grammed, write to Register 0x0F6 with the Write Tx bit cleared
and D1 high. Then, write to Register 0x0F6 again with D1 clear,
thus ensuring that the write bit resets internally before the clock
stops. Wait 4 Tx sample periods after setting D2 high while the
data writes into the table.
D1—Start Rx Clock
Set this bit to start the programming clock.
SPI Register 0xF6—Rx Filter Gain
These bits affect how much digital gain adds to the digital

These registers are configured by the ad9361_set_rx_gain_
control_mode function. For some applications, register values
may need to be modified. Many bits in this section change
operation depending on other bit settings. See the Gain Control
section of the AD9361 Reference Manual for more information.
SPI Register 0x110—Config 1
D7—Enable Gain Inc after Gain Lock
Applies to the fast AGC and if the Enable Gain Incr bit
(0x110[D0]) is set. Set 0x110[D7] to allow gain increases after
the gain has locked but before State 5. Signal power must be
lower than the low power threshold in Register 0x114 for longer
than the increment time duration register (Address 0x11B).
If so, the gain increases by the Increment Gain Step set by
0x117[D7:D5].
D6—Goto Opt Gain if Energy Lost/EN_AGC High
If this bit is set and the fast AGC is in State 5, the gain index will
go to the optimize gain value if an energy lost state occurs or (if
0x0FB[D6] is high) when the EN_AGC signal goes high.
D5—Goto Set Gain if EN_AGC is High
If this bit is set and the fast AGC is in State 5, the gain index will
go to the set gain value if EN_AGC goes high. 0x0FB[D6] must
be set.

UG-671 AD9361 Register Map Reference Manual
Rev. 0 | Page 40 of 72
D4—Goto Set Gain if Exit Rx State
If this bit is set and the fast AGC is in State 5, the gain index will
go to the set gain value when the ENSM exits the Rx state.
D3—Don’t Unlock Gain if Energy Lost
If this bit is set and the fast AGC is in State 5, the gain will not
change even if the average signal power decreases more than the
Energy Lost Threshold regiser (Address 0x112).
D2—Goto Optimized Gain if Exit Rx State
If this bit is set and the fast AGC is in State 5, the gain will go to
the optimize gain value if the ENSM exits the Rx state.
D1—Don’t Unlock Gain if Lg ADC or LMT Ovrg
If this bit is set and the fast AGC is in State 5, the gain will not
change even if large ADC or large LMT overloads occur.
D0—Enable Incr Gain
Setting this bit allows the fast AGC to increase the gain while
optimizing the gain index. Clearing this bit prevents the gain
from increasing in any condition.
SPI Register 0x111—Config 2 and Settling Delay
D7—Use Last Lock Level for Set Gain
Only applies if the fast AGC will uses set gain. Set this bit to use
the last gain index of the previous frame for set gain. Clear to
use the first gain index of the previous frame.
D6—Enable LMT Gain Incr for Lock Level
Applies to the fast AGC and the split gain table. Set this bit to
allow the AGC to use LMT gain if the gain index needs to
increase when moving to the AGC Lock Level in 0x101.
Maximum LMT gain allowed is set by the LMT gain step
(0x103[D4:D2]). The difference (if any) is made up by LPF gain.
D5—Goto Max Gain or Opt Gain if EN_AGC High
If this bit is set and the EN_AGC signal goes high, the fast AGC
will go to either the maximum gain index or the optimize gain
value, dependening on 0x110[D6].
[D4:D0]—Settling Delay[4:0]
Applies to all gain control modes. These bits set the delay

this register × 2 in ClkRF cycles.
SPI Register 0x112—Energy Lost Threshold
[D7:D6]—Post Lock Level Step Size for: LPF Table/Full
Table[1:0]
These bits set the reduction to the gain index if a large LMT
or large ADC overload occurs after Lock Level but before fast
AGC state 5. If the number of overloads exceeds the Final
Overrange Count (0x116[D7:D5]), the AGC algorithm restarts.
Depending on various conditions if a split table is used, the gain
may reduce in in the LPF or the LMT (see 0x113[D7:D6]).
[D5:D0]—Energy Lost Threshold[5:0]
Applies if the fast AGC is in State 5. If the signal power
decreases by this threshold and the signal power remains at this
level or lower for a duration that is twice the Gain Lock Exit
Count (0x119), the gain may unlock, depending on other AGC
configuration bits. Resolution is 1 dB/LSB.

[D7:D6]—Post Lock Level Step for LMT Table[1:0]
See 0x112[D7:D6].
[D5:D0]—Stronger Signal Threshold[5:0]
Applies if the fast AGC is in State 5. If the signal power
increases by this threshold and the signal power remains at this
level or higher for a duration that is twice the Gain Lock Exit
Count (0x119), the gain may unlock, depending on other AGC
configuration bits. Resolution is 1 dB/LSB.
SPI Register 0x114—Low Power Threshold
D7—Don’t unlock gain if ADC Ovrg
If this bit is set and the fast AGC is in State 5, the gain will not
change even if large ADC overloads occur.
[D6:D0]—Low Power Threshold[6:0]
This threshold is used by the fast AGC to determine if the gain
should be increased if 0x110[D0] is set. It can also be used to
trigger a CTRL_OUT signal transition in MGC mode. Units are
negative dBFS; resolution is 0.5 dB/LSB.
SPI Register 0x115—Don’t Unlock Gain if Stronger
Signal
If this bit is set and the fast AGC is in State 5, the gain will not
change even if the signal power increase by more than the
Stronger Signal Threshold in 0x113[D5:D0].

The ad9361_bb_dc_offset_calib and the ad9361_rf_dc_offset_
calib functions configure the BB DC and RF DC registers and
run the calibrations.
SPI Register 0x185—Wait Count
This register sets the Rx path settling time delay after gain
changes are made. All calibrations wait for this counter before
starting calculations. ClkRF clocks the counter.
SPI Register 0x186—RF DC Offset Count
This register affects both RF DC offset initialization and
tracking and it sets the number of integrated samples and the
loop gain. The number of samples equals 256 × RF DC Offset
Count[7:0] in ClkRF cycles. Increasing this value increases loop
gain.
SPI Register 0x187—RF DC Offset Config 1
[D5:D4]—DAC FS[1:0]
These bits set the range of current injected by the correction
DAC per Table 57. Increasing this value increases loop gain.

[D3:D0]—Must be 0x4
SPI Register 0x188—RF DC Offset Attenuation
[D7:D5]—RF DC Offset Table Update Count[2:0]
These bits determine the number of internal correction word
table entries to update when a correction word is updated in the
RF correction table. This occurs for the initial RF cal and
during tracking. The correction word at the current gain index
m updates along with gain indices m+1, m+2…m+n.

AD9361 Register Map Reference Manual UG-671
Rev. 0 | Page 53 of 72
[D4:D0]—RF DC Offset Attenuation[4:0]
These bits control the attenuator for the initialization and
tracking RF DC offset calibrations. The integrated data shifts by
this twos complement value and ranges from −16 to +15.
SPI Register 0x18B—DC Offset Config2
D7—Must be 1
D6—Enable Fast Settle Mode
Applies to BB DC offset tracking (Bit D5 set). The algorithm
uses the BB DC Tracking Fast Settle Shift M attenuation value
in Register 0x191 for the BB Fast Settle Duration time in 0x192,
followed by the BB DC M Shift attenuation value in Register
0x190. The value in Register 0x190 is used until the gain
changes, at which time this sequence repeats. If the fast settle
attenuation value is lower than other attenuation value, then
the BB DC tracking algorithm will converge more quickly.
Convergence that is too fast can affect subcarriers near DC.
D5—Enable BB DC Offset Tracking
Set this to enable BB DC offset tracking. Correction words
apply at a rate set by the decimation setting (Register
0x190[D6:D5]).
D4—Reset Acc on Gain Change
Applies if using BB DC offset tracking (Bit D5 set). When set,
the DC offset accumulator clears when gain changes occur.
D3—Enable RF Offset Tracking
Setting this bit enables RF DC offset tracking.
[D2:D0]—DC Offset Update[2:0]
These bits specify when correction words apply during RF
DC tracking, per Table 58. See Register 0x18D for the SOI
threshold.

SPI Register 0x18C—RF Cal Gain Index
This register sets the starting gain index for RF DC offset
calibration. This 7-bit word represents the LNA gain (2 bits),
the mixer Gm gain (4 bits), and the TIA gain (1 bit).
SPI Register 0x18D—RF SOI Threshold
This register sets the signal of interest threshold in negative
dBFS with 1 dB/LSB resolution. See 0x18B[D1].
SPI Register 0x190—BB DC Offset Shift
D7—Must be 0
[D6:D5]—BB Tracking Decimation[1:0]
Applies in BB DC offset tracking mode (0x18B[D5] set). These
bits set the correction word update rate per Table 59.

[D4:D0]—BB DC Shift M[4:0]
Applies to BB DC tracking mode (0x18B[D5] set). These bits
determine the loop gain attenuation. Integrated data shifts by
BB DC M Shift + 1. M ranges from 1 to 32.
SPI Register 0x191—BB DC Offset Fast Settle Shift
D7—Read Back CH Sel
Set to read back Rx1 BB DC tracking correction words in
Register 0x1A2 through Register 0x1A5. Clear to read Rx2
words. See Bit D6.
D6—Update Tracking Words
Toggle this bit to copy the current BB DC tracking words to
Register 0x1A2 through Register 0x1A5. Correction word
updates occur quickly so these words are not copied to the SPI
registers unless this bit transitions high, preventing the words
from changing during the SPI read. The bit is not self-clearing.
D5—Force Rx Null
Test bit. Setting this bit grounds the input to the low-pass filter.
[D4:D0]—BB DC Tr acking Fast Settle Shift M[4:0]
Applies in BB DC fast settle tracking mode (see 0x18B[D5:D6]
set). Range 1 through 32.
SPI Register 0x192—BB Tracking Fast Settle Dur
Applies to BB DC fast settle tracking mode (0x18B[D6:D5] set).
These bits set the fast settle M shift duration. See Register
0x18B[D6]. The total time is this register value × 8 and is
measured in ClkRF cycles.
SPI Register 0x193—Must be x3F
SPI Register 0x194—BB DC Offset Attenuation
[D3:D0]—BB DC Offset Atten[3:0]
These bits set the BB DC offset loop gain attenuation during the
initial calibration. Range is +7 to −8.

The ad9361_txrx_synth_cp_calib function sets up all registers
in this section. The RF and BBPLL Synthesizer section of the
AD9361 Reference Manual has more details.
SPI Register 0x230— PFD Config
[D7:D4]—Must be 0x5
[D3:D1]—Must be 3’b010
D0—Disable VCO Cal
Set this bit to prevent a VCO calibration when (a) the integer
frequency word changes or (b) the ENSM changes from the Tx
state to the Alert state when the ENSM is in TDD mode. Bit D0
in Register 0x270 prevents a VCO cal when the ENSM moves
from the Rx state to the Alert state.
SPI Register 0x231, SPI Register 0x232[D2:D0] and SPI
Register 0x233 Through SPI Register 0x235—VCO
Frequency Words
These words set the VCO frequency, which ranges from 6 GHz
to 12 GHz. The dividers in Register 0x005 divide this frequency
down to the final LO frequency required by the application.
Equation 24 and Equation 25 derive the integer and fractional
words. All frequencies must use the same units (for example,
MHz).
(24)
8,388,593
(25)
where:
FREF = reference clock frequency (external or DCXO). This rate
is after the reference divider in 0x2AB[D0] and 0x2AC[D7].
NInteger = 11-bit integer word programmed in Register 0x231 and
Register 0x232.
NFractional = 23-bit fractional word programmed in Register 0x233
through Register 0x235.
SPI Register 0x232
D7—SDM Bypass
Test bit, normally cleared. Setting this bit bypasses the SDM of
the Rx RFPLL.
D6—SDM PD
Test bit, normally cleared. Setting this bit disables the Rx RFPLL
SDM.
SPI Register 0x236—Force ALC
D7—Force ALC Enable
Setting this bit forces the automatic level control to use the force
word in Bits[D6:D0] instead of the word generated during
calibration. This bit is set when using the fast lock feature of the
VCO. See Register 0x25A through Register 0x25F.
[D6:D0]—Force ALC Word[6:0]
After a VCO calibration, this register holds the resulting VCO
amplitude word.
SPI Register 0x237—Force VCO Tune 0
After a VCO calibration, this register holds the lower 8 bits of
the VCO capacitor word. This register can also be used in a test
mode to force the capacitor word if the Force VCO Tune Enable
bit (0x238[D1]) is set. The AD9361 sets this register automati-
cally when using the fast lock feature.
SPI Register 0x238—Force VCO Tune 1
[D7:D2]—Must be 0
D1—Force VCO Tune Enable
Setting this bit forces the VCO to use the force word in Register
0x237 and 0x238[D0] instead of the word it generates during
calibration. This bit is set when using the fast lock feature of the
VCO. See Register 0x25A through Register 0x25F.
D0—Force VCO Tune[8]
This bit is the most significant bit of the VCO capacitor tune
word. See Register 0x237.
SPI Register 0x239—ALC/Varactor
[D7:D4]—Init ALC Value[3:0]
These bits set the initial ALC value (VCO bias DAC setting)
when running a VCO calibration.
[D3:D0]—VCO Varactor[3:0]
These bits set the varactor size that sets the Kv. Higher register
value equals higher Kv. The total varactor value (0x239[D3:D0]
+ 0x251[D3:D0]) must be 15(d) or less. See Register 0x251 for
other restrictions on the setting of these bits.
SPI Register 0x23A—VCO Output
D6—PORb VCO
Clearing this bit resets the VCO calibration logic. Clear before
running the VCO calibration.
[D3:D0]—VCO Output Level[3:0]
These bits set the VCO output voltage level that sets the VCO
phase noise performance and power consumption. Range: 0.5 V
to 1.5 V, step size = 67 mV.
SPI Register 0x23B—CP Current
D7—Set to 1
D6—VTune Out
Test mode bit, normally clear. If set, the AD9361 outputs VTune
on the external Rx LO pin. This pin is normally an input but if
this bit is set, it is an output.
[D5:D0]—Charge Pump Current[5:0]
These bits set the charge pump current. Range: 0.1 mA to
6.4 mA, resolution = 100 μA/LSB.

UG-671 AD9361 Register Map Reference Manual
Rev. 0 | Page 62 of 72
SPI Register 0x23C—CP Offset
D7—Synth Re-Cal
Setting this self-clearing bit forces the charge pump to re-
calibrate either the next time the synthesizer powers up or when
the Cp Cal Enable bit (0x23D[D2]) is cleared and then set.
Clear for normal operation.
[D5:D0]—Charge Pump Offset[5:0]
Only applies if the Cp Offset Off bit (0x23D[D4]) is cleared.
These bits set the charge pump bleed current. The step size is
12.5 µA/LSB with a range of 0 µA to 787.5 µA.
SPI Register 0x23D—CP Config
D7—Must be 0
D6—Dither Mode
PRBS length. Clear = 17 bits; set = 23 bits.
D4—CP Offset Off
Setting this bit disables the charge pump bleed current. Clear to
use the value in the Charge Pump Offset bits (0x23C[D5:D0])
as the offset current.
D3—Force CP Cal
Setting this bit overrides the calibration result with the value in
0x241[D3:D0]. In this case, CP Cal Word in 0x244[D3:D0]
reflects the value in 0x241[D3:D0]. Clear for normal operation.
D2—CP Cal Enable
Set this bit to start the CP calibration. When this bit is clear, the
charge pump will not calibrate.
SPI Register 0x23E—Loop Filter 1
[D7:D4]—Loop Filter C2[3:0]

[D3:D0]—Loop Filter C1[3:0]
These bits set the capacitor for the loop filter.
SPI Register 0x23F—Loop Filter 2
[D7:D4]—Loop Filter R1[3:0]
These bits set the resistor value for the loop filter zero. There are
16 resistors in parallel. Range: 8.68 kΩ to 543 Ω (all R’s in
parallel with the bits set to zero). Setting the Loop Filter Bypass
R1 bit (0x240[D6]) bit shorts R1.
[D3:D0]—Loop Filter C3[3:0]

D7—Loop Filter Bypass R3
Setting this bit bypasses R3 of the loop filter. See Bits[D3:D0].
D6—Loop Filter Bypass R1
Setting this bit bypasses R1 of the loop filter. See 0x23F[D7:D4].
D5—Loop Filter Bypass C2
See 0x23E[D7:D4]. Setting this bit shorts out an additional LSB
of C2.
D4—Loop Filter Bypass C1
See 0x23E[D3:D0]. Setting this bit shorts out an additional LSB
of C1.
[D3:D0]—Loop Filter R3[3:0]
These bits set the third pole loop filter resistor. There are 16
resistors in parallel. Range: 2.79 kΩ to 174 Ω (all resistors in
parallel with all bits set to zero). Setting the Loop Filter Bypass
R3 bit (0x240[D7]) bit shorts R3.
SPI Register 0x241—Dither/CP Cal
[D7:D4]—Number of Dither Bits[3:0]
These bits set the number of dither bits added to the 23-bit
fractional synth word. Range: 0 to 15.

to 400 µA; resolution: 50 µA.
SPI Register 0x243—Must be 0x0D
SPI Register 0x244—Cal Status
D7—CP Cal Valid
Set after a successful CP calibration and will remain set and
another CP calibration will not begin, even if the Rx RF PLL
powers down. This bit will clear if the Cp Cal Enable bit in
0x23D[D2] goes low or the Force Cp Cal bit in 0x23D[D3]
goes high.
D5—CP Cal Done
This bit set indicates that a CP calibration was successful. This
bit will clear when the Rx PLL powers down, such as occurs in
TDD mode.
D4—VCO Cal Busy
This bit set indicates that a VCO calibration is running.
[D3:D0]—CP Cal Word[3:0]
This is the charge pump calibration result. If the Force Cp Cal
bit (0x23D[D3]) bit is set, then these bits will be forced by the
Forced CP Cal Word in 0x241[D3:D0]).

The Linux and No-OS drivers contain functions for setting up
and using the fast lock function. See the Fast Lock Profiles
section of the AD9361 Reference Manual for more information
and function names.
SPI Register 0x25A—Rx Fast Lock Setup
[D7:D5]—Rx Fast Lock Profile[2:0]
Ignored if Bit D1 is set. These bits select the profile number (0
to 7) when creating or using a profile.
D3—Rx Fast Lock Load Synth
Setting this bit forces a VCO calibration. After calibration
completes, the AD9361 saves the resulting calibration words
and then this bit self-clears. This is only valid when D0 and D2
are set. If the VCO tune and VCO ALC words entries are
written manually into the profile along with the other
parameters, then it is not necessary to set this bit and run a
VCO calibration.
D2—Rx Fast Lock Profile Init
Set this bit when creating a profile. This bit set allows the
calibrated VCO values to be saved to a specific profile. To create
more than one profile, this bit must be set low and then high
again. Only valid when Bit D0 is set. Clear this bit to use saved
profiles (after all fast lock programming completes).
D1—Rx Fast Lock Profile Pin Select
With this bit set, the CTRL_IN0 through CTRL_IN2 pins select
the Rx fast lock profile. With this bit clear, [D7:D5] select the
fast lock profile. Only valid when D0 is set.
D0—Rx Fast Lock Mode Enable
Set this bit when creating or using profiles.
SPI Register 0x25B—Rx Fast Lock Setup Init Delay
These bits set the time that the charge pump current, R1, R3,

Table 81. Fast Attack AGC States
Fast Attack
State Rx2[2:0]
State
Name Description
0 Reset Peak
Detectors
The state machine initializes to this
state at the start of RxON. The AD9361
holds all power and peak detectors in
reset.
1 Peak
Detect
In State 1, the AD9361 detects peak
overloads and reduces gain until the
overloads cease.
2 Power
Measurem
ent
The state machine waits for settling
delay, measures power, and then
adjusts gain to match the signal level to
the AGC Lock Level.
3
Final
Settling
If large peak overloads occur, the
AD9361 decreases gain and moves to
final over range state, else it moves to
State 5.
4 Final Over
Range
The state machine resets the peak
detectors and for the peak wait
duration. On expiration of this counter,
the state machine transitions to State 3.
5 Gain Lock The state machine remains in this state
until unlocked.

Same as Bits[D6:D4] but apply to Rx1.
Table 82. Slow Attack AGC States
Slow Attack
State Rx2[1:0] State Name Description
0 Reset The state machine initializes to this
state at the start of RxON. The gain
update counter and related
functionality resets to 0.
1 Slow
Measurement
Power measurement of the signal
occur. A counter increments until it
reaches the gain update count, at
which time the state machine moves
to the gain change state.
2 Gain Change Based on the results of the previous
slow measurement state, the gain
changes accordingly.
3
Clear Peak
Detectors
The peak detector thresholds clear
and the state machine stays in this
state until the settling delay expires.
This allows the Rx signal to settle
before the AD9361 makes the next
power measurement.
