Phase Determinism of Upconverter Phaser

claytonho

Hi,

I’m trying to figure out if phase determinism of the upconverter phaser can be achieved, i.e. if it can be made to start a waveform at a defined given phase.
I know that the oscillators, DUC, and DAC34H74 support arbitrary phase control (by clearing the phase accumulator and setting phase offset words).
However, I’ve looked through the TRF372017 datasheet and I haven’t found the same sort of options for phase control, which, naively, makes me think that absolute phase control of the final output can’t be achieved.
Just wanted to see if anyone else has looked at this and know whether I’m being silly.

Thanks!
