2.5.4 TRI-STATE ID
o
RF
The TRI-STATE ID
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.

2.6 IF N REGISTER
The IF N register contains the IF N_CNTRA, IF N_CNTRB, PRE IF, and PWDN IF control words. The IF N_CNTRA and IF
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.

2.6.1 IF N_CNTRA[6:0]
The IF N_CNTRA control word is used to setup the IF synthesizer’s A counter. The A counter is a 7-bit swallow counter used in
the programmable feedback divider. The IF N_CNTRAcontrol word can be programmed to values ranging from 0 to 15. The three
most significant bits are ‘don’t care bits’ in this case.

2.6.2 IF N_CNTRB[10:0]
The IF N_CNTRB control word is used to setup the IF synthesizer’s B counter. The B counter is an 11-bit programmable binary
counter used in the programmable feedback divider. The IF N_CNTRB control word can be programmed to values ranging from
3 to 2047.
