Programmable Divide (N Counter)
The N counter consists of the 7-bit swallow counter (A counter) and the 11-bit programmable counter (B counter). If the Control
Bits are 10 or 11 (10 for IF counter and 11 for RF counter) data is transferred from the 22-bit shift register into a 4-bit or 7-bit latch
(which sets the Swallow (A) Counter) and an 11-bit latch (which sets the 11-bit programmable (B) Counter), MSB first. Serial data
format is shown below. For the IF N counter bits 5, 6, and 7 are don’t care bits. The RF N counter does not have don’t care bits.

Programmable Modes
Several modes of operation can be programmed with bits
R16-R19 including the phase detector polarity, charge pump
High Z State and the output of the F
O
/LD pin. The prescaler
and powerdown modes are selected with bits N19 and N20.
The programmable modes are shown in Table 1. Truth table
for the programmable modes and F

/LD output are shown in
Table 2 and Table 3.
