3.2.26 0x21—ADC Control Register (adc_control)
loop_back[1,0] Loopback Control—Read/write binary field specifying if loopback is enabled, and the type of
loopback that is enabled. During transmitting loopback, the differential receiver inputs (RXP,
RXN) are disabled. The loopback path is intended to go from the transmitter outputs (TXP,
TXN), through the external hybrid circuit, back into the differential receiver balance inputs
(RXBP, RXBN). During silent loop back, the transmitter is turned off, and the output of the
pulse-shaping filter in the transmit section is internally connected to the input of the ADC in
the receive section.
gain[2:0] Gain Control—Read/write binary field specifies the gain of the VGA.
