2.6.4 TRI-STATE ID
o RF
RF Synthesizer Charge Pump TRI-STATE Current
RF R[19]
The TRI-STATE ID
o RF bit allows the charge pump to be switched between a normal operating mode and a high impedance
output state. This happens asynchronously with the change in the TRI-STATE ID
o RF bit.
Furthermore, the TRI-STATE ID
o RF bit operates in conjuction with the PWDN RF bit to set a synchronous or an asynchronous
powerdown mode.

2.7 RF N REGISTER
The RF N register contains the RF N_CNTRA, RF N_CNTRB, PRE RF, and PWDN RF control words. The RF N_CNTRA and RF
N_CNTRB control words are used to setup the programmable feedback divider. The detailed description and programming
information for each control word is discussed in the following sections.

2.7.1 RF N_CNTRA[6:0]
RF Synthesizer Swallow Counter (A Counter)
RF N[2:8]
The RF N_CNTRA control word is used to setup the RF synthesizer’s A counter. The A counter is a 7-bit swallow counter used
in the programmable feedback divider. The RF N_CNTRA control word can be programmed to values ranging from 0 to 127.

RF Synthesizer Programmable Binary Counter (B Counter)
RF N[9:19]
The RF N_CNTRB control word is used to setup the RF synthesizer’s B counter. The B counter is an 11-bit programmable binary
counter used in the programmable feedback divider. The RF N_CNTRB control word can be programmed to values ranging from
3 to 2047.
