Function
Analog supply pin (nominally 5V).
Main synthesiser balanced input buffer, may be used with single ended prescaler output if Fimb
is biased.
Main synthesiser balanced input buffer, may be used with balanced prescaler output, or biased
for single ended operation.
Serial input for programming data.
Serial clock input for programming bus.
Program enable pin, active low.
Master reference frequency input, should be a.c coupled from an accurate source.
Auxiliary synthesiser frequency input, should be a.c coupled.
Current setting resistor connection defining auxiliary phase detector output current.
Tristate current output from auxiliary phase detector.
Tristate current output from the main synthesiser's phase detector giving integral control.
Digital ground supply pin.
Tristate current output from the main synthesiser's phase detector giving proportional control.
Digital supply pin (nominally 5V).
Current setting resistor connection defining main synthesiser's phase detector output currents.
Current setting resistor connection defining the compensation current for fractional-N ripple
elimination in the main synthesiser's current source outputs.
To be connected to ground to provide isolation of the modulus control pins from RF interference.
Modulus control pin (see truth table).
Modulus control pin (see truth table).
Analog ground supply pin.
