Description

R
SET
Connecting a resistor between this pin and CPGND sets the maximum charge pump output current. The
nominal voltage potential at the R
SET pin is 0.66 V. The relationship between ICP and RSET is

So, with R

20
CP
Charge Pump Output. When enabled, this provides ±I
CP to the external loop filter, which in turn drives
the external VCO.

1
CPGND
Charge Pump Ground. This is the ground return path for the charge pump.
4
2, 3
AGND
Analog Ground. This is the ground return path of the prescaler.
5
4
RF
INB
Complementary Input to the RF Prescaler. This point must be decoupled to the ground plane with a
small bypass capacitor, typically 100 pF.
6
5
RF
INA
Input to the RF Prescaler. This small signal input is ac-coupled to the external VCO.
7
6, 7
AV
DD
Analog Power Supply. This can range from 2.7 V to 3.3 V. Decoupling capacitors to the analog ground
plane should be placed as close as possible to this pin. AV
DD must be the same value as DVDD.
8
REF
IN
Reference Input. This is a CMOS input with a nominal threshold of V
DD/2 and a dc equivalent input
resistance of 100 k. This input can be driven from a TTL or CMOS crystal oscillator or it can be ac-coupled.
9
9, 10
DGND
Digital Ground.
10
11
CE
Chip Enable. A logic low on this pin powers down the device and puts the charge pump output into
three-state mode. Taking the pin high powers up the device, depending on the status of the power-
down bit, F2.
11
12
CLK
Serial Clock Input. This serial clock is used to clock in the serial data to the registers. The data is latched
into the 24-bit shift register on the CLK rising edge. This input is a high impedance CMOS input.
12
13
DATA
Serial Data Input. The serial data is loaded MSB first with the two LSBs being the control bits. This input
is a high impedance CMOS input.
13
14
LE
Load Enable, CMOS Input. When LE goes high, the data stored in the shift registers is loaded into one of
the four latches with the latch being selected using the control bits.
14
15
MUXOUT
This multiplexer output allows either the lock detect, the scaled RF, or the scaled reference frequency to
be accessed externally.
15
16, 17
DV
DD
Digital Power Supply. This can range from 2.7 V to 3.3 V. Decoupling capacitors to the digital ground
plane should be placed as close as possible to this pin. DV
DD must be the same value as AVDD.
16
18
V
P
Charge Pump Power Supply. This should be greater than or equal to V
DD. In systems where VDD is 3 V, it
can be set to 5.5 V and used to drive a VCO with a tuning range of up to 5 V.
EP
Exposed Pad. The exposed pad must be connected to AGND.
