The device is fabricated using Texas Instruments' advanced process. 1 • • • • Quadruple Modulus Prescaler for Lower Divides – RF PLL: 8/9/12/13 or 16/17/20/21 – IF PLL: 8/9 or 16/17 Advanced Delta-Sigma Fractional Compensation – 12-Bit or 22-Bit Selectable Fractional Modulus – Up to 4th Order Programmable Delta-Sigma Modulator Features for Improved Lock Time – Fastlock / Cycle Slip Reduction With Integrated Time-Out Counter Which Requires Only a Single-Word Write Wide Operating Range – LMX2485 RF PLL: 500 MHz to 3.0 GHz – LMX2485E RF PLL: 50 MHz to 3.0 GHz Useful Features – Digital Lock Detect Output – Hardware and Software Power-Down Control – On-Chip Input Frequency Doubler. – RF Phase Detector Frequency up to 50 MHz – 2.5 to 3.6 V Operation With ICC = 5.0 mA With delta-sigma architecture, fractional spurs at lower offset frequencies are pushed to higher frequencies outside the loop bandwidth. The ability to push close in spur and phase noise energy to higher frequencies is a direct function of the modulator order. Unlike analog compensation, the digital feedback technique used in the LMX2485 is highly resistant to changes in temperature and variations in wafer processing. The LMX2485 delta-sigma modulator is programmable up to fourth order, which allows the designer to select the optimum modulator order to fit the phase noise, spur, and lock time requirements of the system. Serial data for programming the LMX2485 is transferred through a three-line, high-speed (20-MHz) MICROWIRE interface. The LMX2485 offers fine frequency resolution, low spurs, fast programming speed, and a single-word write to change the frequency. This makes it ideal for direct digital modulation applications, where the N-counter is directly modulated with information. The LMX2485 is available in a 24-lead 4.0 × 4.0 × 0.8 mm WQFN package. 2 Applications • • • • Cellular Phones and Base Stations Direct Digital Modulation Applications Satellite and Cable TV Tuners WLAN Standards Device Information(1) PART NUMBER RF PLL Frequency IF PLL Frequency LMX2485E 50 - 3000 MHz 75 - 800 MHz LMX2485 500 - 3000 MHz 75 - 800 MHz (1) For all available packages, see the orderable addendum at the end of the data sheet.

The spur offset frequency is chosen to be the comparison frequency divided by the reduced fractional denominator. The loop bandwidth must be sufficiently wide to negate the impact of the loop filter. Measurement conditions are: Spur Offset Frequency = 10 kHz, Loop Bandwidth = 100 kHz, Fraction = 1/2000, Comparison Frequency = 20 MHz, RF_CPG = 7, DITH = 0, and a 4th Order Modulator (FM = 0). These are relatively consistent over tuning range. Normalized Phase Noise Contribution is defined as: LN(f) = L(f) – 20log(N) – 10log(fCOMP) where L(f) is defined as the single side band phase noise measured at an offset frequency, f, in a 1 Hz Bandwidth. The offset frequency, f, must be chosen sufficiently smaller than the PLL loop bandwidth, yet large enough to avoid substantial phase noise contribution from the reference source. Measurement conditions are: Offset Frequency = 11 kHz, Loop Bandwidth = 100 kHz for RF_CPG = 7, Fraction = 1/2000, Comparison Frequency = 20 MHz, FM = 0, DITH = 0.

Charge Pump Current Measurement Figure 19 shows the test procedure for testing the RF and IF charge pumps. These tests include absolute current level, mismatch, and leakage measurement. To measure the charge pump currents, a signal is applied to the high frequency input pins. The reason for this is to guarantee that the phase detector gets enough transitions to be able to change states. If no signal is applied, it is possible that the charge pump current reading will be low due to the fact that the duty cycle is not 100%. The OSCin Pin is tied to the supply. The charge pump currents can be measured by simply programming the phase detector to the necessary polarity. For instance, to measure the RF charge pump, a 10 MHz signal is applied to the FinRF pin. The source current can be measured by setting the RF PLL phase detector to a positive polarity, and the sink current can be measured by setting the phase detector to a negative polarity. The IF PLL currents can be measured in a similar way. The magnitude of the RF PLL charge pump current is controlled by the RF_CPG bit. Once the charge pump currents are known, the mismatch can be calculated as well. To measure leakage, the charge pump is set to a TRI-STATE mode by enabling the RF_CPT and IF_CPT bits. Table 4 shows a summary of the various charge pump tests. Table 4.

It is typically measured over frequency, voltage, and temperature. To test sensitivity, the MUX[3:0] word is programmed to the appropriate value. The counter value is then programmed to a fixed value and a frequency counter is set to monitor the frequency of this pin. The expected frequency at the Ftest/LD pin should be the signal generator frequency divided by twice the corresponding counter value. The factor of two comes in because the LMX2485 has a flip-flop which divides this frequency by two to make the duty cycle 50% to make it easier to read with the frequency counter. The frequency counter input impedance should be set to high impedance. To perform the measurement, the temperature, frequency, and voltage is set to a fixed value and the power level of the signal is varied. If the power level at the part is assumed to be 4 dB less than the signal generator power level. This accounts for 1 dB for cable losses and 3 dB for the pad. The power level range where the frequency is correct at the Ftest/LD pin to within 1 Hz accuracy is recorded for the sensitivity limits. The temperature, frequency, and voltage can be varied to produce a family of sensitivity curves. Because this is an open-loop test, the charge pump is set to TRI-STATE and the unused side of the PLL (RF or IF) is powered down when not being tested. For this part, there are actually four frequency input pins, although there is only one frequency test pin (Ftest/LD). The conditions specific to each pin are shown in Table 5. NOTE For the RF N counter, a fourth order fractional modulator is used in 22-bit mode with a fraction of 2097150 / 4194301 is used. The reason for this long fraction is to test the RF N counter and supporting fractional circuitry as completely as possible. 16 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2005–2016, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMX2485 LMX2485E LMX2485, LMX2485E www.ti.com SNAS236G – OCTOBER 2005 – REVISED JANUARY 2016 7.1.4 Input Impedance Measurement Frequency Input Pin Network Analyzer Device Under Test Evaluation Board Power Supply Figure 22. Input Impedance Measurement Figure 22 shows the test set-up used for measuring the input impedance for the LMX2485. The DC-blocking capacitor used between the input SMA connector and the pin being measured must be changed to a 0-Ω resistor. This procedure applies to the FinRF, FinIF, and OSCin pins. The basic test procedure is to calibrate the network analyzer, ensure that the part is powered up, and then measure the input impedance. The network analyzer can be calibrated by using either calibration standards or by soldering resistors directly to the evaluation board. An open can be implemented by putting no resistor, a short can be implemented by soldering a 0-Ω resistor as close as possible to the pin being measured, and a short can be implemented by soldering two 100-Ω resistors in parallel as close as possible to the pin being measured. Calibration is done with the PLL removed from the PCB. This requires the use of a clamp down fixture that may not always be generally available. If no clamp down fixture is available, then this procedure can be done by calibrating up to the point where the DCblocking capacitor usually is, and then implementing port extensions with the network analyzer. The 0-Ω resistor is added back for the actual measurement. Once the set-up is calibrated, it is necessary to ensure that the PLL is powered up. This can be done by toggling the power down bits (RF_PD and IF_PD) and observing that the current consumption indeed increases when the bit is disabled. Sometimes it may be necessary to apply a signal to the OSCin pin to program the part. If this is necessary, disconnect the signal once it is established that the part is powered up. It is useful to know the input impedance of the PLL for the purposes of debugging RF problems and designing matching networks. Another use of knowing this parameter is make the trace width on the PCB such that the input impedance of this trace matches the real part of the input impedance of the PLL frequency of operation. In general, it is good practice to keep trace lengths short and make designs that are relatively resistant to variations in the input impedance of the PLL.

The OSCout pin is included to provide a buffered output of this input signal and is active when the OSC_OUT bit is set to one. The ENOSC pin can be also pulled high to ensure that the OSCout pin is active, regardless of the status of the registers in the LMX2485. The R counter divides this TXCO frequency down to the comparison frequency. 8.3.2 Phase Detector The maximum phase detector operating frequency for the IF PLL is straightforward, but it is a little more involved for the RF PLL because it is fractional. The maximum phase detector frequency for the LMX2485 RF PLL is 50 MHz. However, this is not possible in all circumstances due to illegal divide ratios of the N counter. The crystal reference frequency also limits the phase detector frequency, although the doubler helps with this limitation. There are trade-offs in choosing the phase detector frequency. If this frequency is run higher, then phase noise will be lower, but lock time may be increased due to cycle slipping and the capacitors in the loop filter may become rather large. 8.3.3 Charge Pump For the majority of the time, the charge pump output is high impedance, and the only current through this pin is the Tri-State leakage. However, it does put out fast correction pulses that have a width that is proportional to the phase error presented at the phase detector. The charge pump converts the phase error presented at the phase detector into a correction current. The magnitude of this current is theoretically constant, but the duty cycle is proportional to the phase error. For the IF PLL, this current is not programmable, but for the RF PLL it is programmable in 16 steps. Also, the RF PLL allows for a higher charge pump current to be used when the PLL is locking to reduce the lock time. 18 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2005–2016, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMX2485 LMX2485E LMX2485, LMX2485E www.ti.com SNAS236G – OCTOBER 2005 – REVISED JANUARY 2016 Feature Description (continued) 8.3.4 Loop Filter The loop filter design can be rather involved. In addition to the regular constraints and design parameters, deltasigma PLLs have the additional constraint that the order of the loop filter should be one greater than the order of the delta sigma modulator. This rule of thumb comes from the requirement that the loop filter must roll off the delta sigma noise at 20 dB/decade faster than it rises. However, because the noise can not have infinite power, it must eventually roll off. If the loop bandwidth is narrow, this requirement may not be necessary. For the purposes of discussion in this data sheet, the pole of the loop filter at 0 Hz is not counted. So a second order filter has 3 components, a 3rd order loop filter has 5 components, and the 4th order loop filter has 7 components. Although a 5th order loop filter is theoretically necessary for use with a 4th order modulator, typically a 4th order filter is used in this case. The loop filter design, especially for higher orders can be rather involved, but there are many simulation tools and references available, such as the one given at the end of the functional description block. 8.3.5 N Counters and High Frequency Input Pins The N counter divides the VCO frequency down to the comparison frequency. Because prescalers are used, there are limitations on how small the N value can be. The N counters are discussed in greater depth in the programming section. Because the input pins to these counters (FinRF and FinIF) are high frequency, layout considerations are important. 8.3.5.1 High Frequency Input Pins, FinRF and FinIF TI recommends that the VCO output go through a resistive pad and then through a DC-blocking capacitor before it gets to these high frequency input pins. If the trace length is sufficiently short (< 1/10th of a wavelength), then the pad may not be necessary, but a series resistor of about 39 Ω is still recommended to isolate the PLL from the VCO. The DC-blocking capacitor should be chosen at least to be 27 pF, depending on frequency. It may turn out that the frequency is above the self-resonant frequency of the capacitor, but because the input impedance of the PLL tends to be capacitive, it actually is a benefit to exceed the tune frequency. The pad and the DCblocking capacitor should be placed as close to the PLL as possible 8.3.5.2 Complementary High Frequency Pin, FinRF* These inputs may be used to drive the PLL differentially, but it is very common to drive the PLL in a single ended fashion. A shunt capacitor should be placed at the FinRF* pin. The value of this capacitor should be chosen such that the impedance, including the ESR of the capacitor, is as close to an AC short as possible at the operating frequency of the PLL. 100 pF is a typical value, depending on frequency. 8.3.6 Digital Lock Detect Operation The RF PLL digital lock detect circuitry compares the difference between the phase of the inputs of the phase detector to a RC generated delay of ε. To indicate a locked state (Lock = HIGH) the phase error must be less than the ε RC delay for 5 consecutive reference cycles. Once in lock (Lock = HIGH), the RC delay is changed to approximately δ. To indicate an out of lock state (Lock = LOW), the phase error must become greater δ. The values of ε and δ are dependent on which PLL is used and are shown in Table 6: Table 6. Digital Lock Detection Tolerances PLL ε δ RF 10 ns 20 ns IF 15 ns 30 ns When the PLL is in the power-down mode and the Ftest/LD pin is programmed for the lock detect function, it is forced LOW. The accuracy of this circuit degrades at higher comparison frequencies. To compensate for this, the DIV4 word should be set to one if the comparison frequency exceeds 20 MHz. The function of this word is to divide the comparison frequency presented to the lock detect circuit by 4. If the MUX[3:0] word is set such as to view lock detect for both PLLs, an unlocked (LOW) condition is shown whenever either one of the PLLs is determined to be out of lock.

This means that it requires no additional programming overhead to use them. TI recommends that the charge pump current in the steady-state be 8X or less to use cycle slip reduction, and 4X or less in steady-state to use Fastlock. The next step is to decide between using Fastlock or CSR. This determination can be made based on the ratio of the comparison frequency (fCOMP) to loop bandwidth (BW). Table 7.

In cases where the ratio of the comparison frequency exceeds about 100 times the loop bandwidth, cycle slipping can occur and significantly degrade lock times. The greater this ratio, the greater the benefit of CSR. This is typically the case of high comparison frequencies. In circumstances where there is not a problem with cycle slipping, CSR provides no benefit. There is a glitch when CSR is disengaged, but because CSR should be disengaged long before the PLL is actually in lock, this glitch is not an issue. A good rule of thumb for CSR disengagement is to do this at the peak time of the transient response. Because this time is typically much sooner than Fastlock should be disengaged, it does not make sense to use CSR and Fastlock in combination. 8.3.7.2 Fastlock Fastlock works by increasing the loop bandwidth only during frequency acquisition. In circumstances where the comparison frequency is less than or equal to 2 MHz, Fastlock may provide a benefit beyond what CSR can offer. Because Fastlock also reduces the ratio of the comparison frequency to the loop bandwidth, it may provide a significant benefit in cases where the comparison frequency is greater than 2 MHz. However, CSR can usually provide an equal or larger benefit in these cases, and can be implemented without using an additional resistor. The reason for this restriction on frequency is that Fastlock has a glitch when it is disengaged. As the time of engagement for Fastlock decreases and becomes on the order of the fast lock time, this glitch grows and limits the benefits of Fastlock. This effect becomes worse at higher comparison frequencies. There is always the option of reducing the comparison frequency at the expense of phase noise to satisfy this constraint on comparison frequency. Despite this glitch, there is still a net improvement in lock time using Fastlock in these circumstances. When using Fastlock, TI also recommends that the steady-state charge pump state be 4X or less. Also, Fastlock was originally intended only for second order filters, so when implementing it with higher order filters, the third and fourth poles can not be too close in, or it will not be possible to keep the loop filter well optimized when the higher charge pump current and Fastlock resistor are engaged. 8.3.7.3 Using Cycle Slip Reduction (CSR) to Avoid Cycle Slipping Once it is decided that CSR is to be used, the cycle slip reduction factor needs to be chosen. The available factors are 1/2, 1/4, and 1/16. To preserve the same loop characteristics, TI recommends that the following constraint be satisfied: 8.3.7.3.1 (Fastlock Charge Pump Current) / (Steady-State Charge Pump Current) = CSR To satisfy this constraint, the maximum charge pump current in steady-state is 8X for a CSR of 1/2, 4X for a CSR of 1/4, and 1X for a CSR of 1/16. Because the PLL phase noise is better for higher charge pump currents, it makes sense to choose CSR only as large as necessary to prevent cycle slipping. Choosing it larger than this will not improve lock time, and will result in worse phase noise. Consider an example where the desired loop bandwidth in steady-state is 100 kHz and the comparison frequency is 20 MHz. This yields a ratio of 200. Cycle slipping may be present, but would not be too severe if it was there. If a CSR factor of 1/2 is used, this would reduce the ratio to 100 during frequency acquisition, which is probably sufficient. A charge pump current of 8X could be used in steady-state, and a factor of 16X could be used during frequency acquisition. This yields a ratio of 1/2, which is equal to the CSR factor and this satisfies the above constraint. In this circumstance, it could also be decided to just use 16X charge pump current all the time, because it would probably have better phase noise, and the degradation in lock time would not be too severe.

Loop Filter with Fastlock Resistor Once it is decided that Fastlock is to be used, the loop bandwidth multiplier, K, is needed to determine the theoretical impact of Fastlock on the loop bandwidth and the resistor value, R2p, that is switched in parallel during Fastlock. This ratio is calculated as follows: Table 8. K = (Fastlock Charge Pump Current) / (Steady-State Charge Pump Current) K LOOP BANDWIDTH R2p VALUE LOCK TIME 1 1.00 X Open 100% 2 1.41 X R2/0.41 71% 3 1.73 X R2/0.73 58% 4 2.00 X R2 50% 8 2.83 X R2/1.83 35% 9 3.00 X R2/2 33% 16 4.00 X R2/3 25% Table 8 shows how to calculate the Fastlock resistor and theoretical lock time improvement, once the ratio , K, is known. This all assumes a second order filter (not counting the pole at 0 Hz). However, TI generally recommends that the loop filter order be one greater than the order of the delta sigma modulator, which means that a second order filter is never recommended. In this case, the value for R2p is typically about 80% of what it would be for a second order filter. Because the Fastlock disengagement glitch gets larger and it is harder to keep the loop filter optimized as the K value becomes larger, designing for the largest possible value for K usually, but not always yields the best improvement in lock time. To get a more accurate estimate requires more simulation tools, or trial and error. 8.3.7.5 Capacitor Dielectric Considerations for Lock Time The LMX2485 has a high fractional modulus and high charge pump gain for the lowest possible phase noise. One consideration is that the reduced N value and higher charge pump may cause the capacitors in the loop filter to become larger in value. For larger capacitor values, it is common to have a trade-off between capacitor dielectric quality and physical size. Using film capacitors or NPO/COG capacitors yields the best possible lock times, where as using X7R or Z5R capacitors can increase lock time by 0 – 500%. However, it is a general tendency that designs that use a higher compare frequency tend to be less sensitive to the effects of capacitor dielectrics. Although the use of lesser quality dielectric capacitors may be unavoidable in many circumstances, allowing a larger footprint for the loop filter capacitors, using a lower charge pump current, and reducing the fractional modulus are all ways to reduce capacitor values. Capacitor dielectrics have very little impact on phase noise and spurs. 8.3.8 Fractional Spur and Phase Noise Controls Control of the fractional spurs is more of an art than an exact science. The first differentiation that needs to be made is between primary fractional and sub-fractional spurs. The primary fractional spurs are those that occur at increments of the channel spacing only. The sub-fractional spurs are those that occur at a smaller resolution than the channel spacing, usually one-half or one-fourth. There are trade-offs between fractional spurs, sub-fractional spurs, and phase noise. The rules of thumb presented in this section are just that. There will be exceptions. The bits that impact the fractional spurs are FM and DITH, and these bits should be set in this order. 22 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2005–2016, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMX2485 LMX2485E LMX2485, LMX2485E www.ti.com SNAS236G – OCTOBER 2005 – REVISED JANUARY 2016 The first step to do is choose FM, for the delta sigma modulator order. TI recommends to start with FM = 3 for a third order modulator and use strong dithering. In general, there is a trade-off between primary and sub-fractional spurs. Choosing the highest order modulator (FM = 0 for 4th order) typically provides the best primary fractional spurs, but the worst sub-fractional spurs. Choosing the lowest modulator order (FM = 2 for 2nd order), typically gives the worst primary fractional spurs, but the best sub-fractional spurs. Choosing FM = 3, for a 3rd order modulator is a compromise. The second step is to choose DITH, for dithering. Dithering has a very small impact on primary fractional spurs, but a much larger impact on sub-fractional spurs. The only problem is that it can add a few dB of phase noise, or even more if the loop bandwidth is very wide. Disabling dithering (DITH = 0), provides the best phase noise, but the sub-fractional spurs are worst (except when the fractional numerator is 0, and in this case, they are the best). Choosing strong dithering (DITH = 2) significantly reduces sub-fractional spurs, if not eliminating them completely, but adds the most phase noise. Weak dithering (DITH = 1) is a compromise. The third step is to tinker with the fractional word. Although 1/10 and 400/4000 are mathematically the same, expressing fractions with much larger fractional numerators often improve the fractional spurs. Increasing the fractional denominator only improves spurs to a point. A good practical limit could be to keep the fractional denominator as large as possible, but not to exceed 4095, so it is not necessary to use the extended fractional numerator or denominator. This steps can be done in different orders and it might take a few iterations to find the optimum performance. Special considerations should be taken for lower frequencies that are less than 100 MHz. In addition squaring up the wave, it is often helpful to use lowest terms fractions instead of highest terms fractions. Also, dithering may turn out to not be so useful. All the things are to introduce a methodical way of thinking about optimizing spurs, not an exact method. There will be exceptions to all these rules. NOTE For more information concerning delta-sigma PLLs, loop filter design, cycle slip reduction, Fastlock, and many other topics, visit www.ti.com. Here there is the EasyPLL simulation tool and an online reference called PLL Performance, Simulation, and Design. 8.4 Device Functional Modes 8.4.1 Power Pins, Power-Down, and Power-Up Modes TI recommends that all of the power pins be filtered with a series 18-Ω resistor and then placing two capacitors shunt to ground, thus creating a low pass filter. Although it makes sense to use large capacitor values in theory, the ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) is greater for larger capacitors. For optimal filtering minimize the sum of the ESR and theoretical impedance of the capacitor. Therefore TI recommends to provide two capacitors of very different sizes for the best filtering. 1 µF and 100 pF are typical values. The small capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the pin. The power down state of the LMX2485 is controlled by many factors. The one factor that overrides all other factors is the CE pin. If this pin is low, the part will be powered down. Asserting a high logic level on this pin is necessary to power up the chip, however, there are other bits in the programming registers that can override this and put the PLL back in a power-down state. Provided that the voltage on the CE pin is high, programming the RF_PD and IF_PD bits to zero ensures that the part will be powered up. Programming either one of these bits to one will power down the appropriate section of the synthesizer, provided that the ATPU bit does not override this. Table 9.

The control bits CTL [3:0] decode the register address. On the rising edge of LE, data stored in the shift register is loaded into one of the appropriate latches (selected by address bits). Data is shifted in MSB first. NOTE It is best to program the N counter last, because doing so initializes the digital lock detector and Fastlock circuitry. Initialize means it resets the counters, but it does NOT program values into these registers. The exception is when 22-bit is not being used.

The first four registers are basic registers that contain critical information necessary for the PLL to achieve lock. The last 5 registers are for features that optimize spur, phase noise, and lock time performance. The next page shows these registers. 24 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2005–2016, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMX2485 LMX2485E LMX2485, LMX2485E www.ti.com SNAS236G – OCTOBER 2005 – REVISED JANUARY 2016 8.5.1.3 Quick Start Register Map Although TI highly recommends that the user eventually take advantage of all the modes of the LMX2485, the quick start register map is shown in order for the user to get the part up and running quickly using only those bits critical for basic functionality.

When it is set to one, the RF PLL is powered down and the RF Charge pump is set to a TRI-STATE mode. The CE pin and ATPU bit also control power down functions, and will override the RF_PD bit. The order of precedence is as follows. First, if the CE pin is LOW, then the PLL will be powered down. Provided this is not the case, the PLL will be powered up if the ATPU bit says to do so, regardless of the state of the RF_PD bit. After the CE pin and the ATPU bit are considered, then the RF_PD bit then takes control of the power-down function for the RF PLL. 8.6.3 R2 Register Table 20.

The programming of registers R5-R7 is optional. The ACCESS[3:0] bits determine which additional registers must be programmed. Any one of these registers can be individually programmed. According to Table 26, when the state of a register is in default mode, all the bits in that register are forced to a default state and it is not necessary to program this register. When the register is programmable, it needs to be programmed through the MICROWIRE. Using this register access technique, the programming required is reduced up to 37%. Table 26.

Higher order delta-sigma modulators reduce the spur levels closer to the carrier by pushing this noise to higher frequency offsets from the carrier. In general, the order of the loop filter should be at least one greater than the order of the delta-sigma modulator to allow for sufficient roll-off. Table 36.

Recommended for test use only. 2 Fractional PLL mode with a 2nd order delta-sigma modulator 3 Fractional PLL mode with a 3rd order delta-sigma modulator 8.6.5.8 DITH[1:0]—Dithering Control Dithering is a technique used to spread out the spur energy. Enabling dithering can reduce the main fractional spurs, but can also give rise to a family of smaller spurs. Whether dithering helps or hurts is application specific. Enabling the dithering may also increase the phase noise. In most cases where the fractional numerator is zero, dithering usually degrades performance. Dithering tends to be most beneficial in applications where there is insufficient filtering of the spurs. This often occurs when the loop bandwidth is very wide or a higher order delta-sigma modulator is used. Dithering tends not to impact the main fractional spurs much, but has a much larger impact on the sub-fractional spurs. If it is decided that dithering will be used, best results will be obtained when the fractional denominator is at least 1000. Table 37.

When this word is set to a value between 0 and 3, the RF Fastlock circuitry is disabled and the FLoutRF pin operates as a general-purpose CMOS TRI-STATE I/O. When RF_TOC is set to a value between 4 and 16383, the RF Fastlock mode is enabled and the FLoutRF pin is used as the RF Fastlock output pin. The value programmed into the RF_TOC[13:0] word represents two times the number of phase detector comparison cycles the RF synthesizer will spend in the Fastlock state. Table 42.

When this bit is enabled, it subdivides the RF PLL comparison frequency (it does not apply to the IF comparison frequency) presented to the digital lock detect circuitry by 4. This enables this circuitry to work at higher comparison frequencies. TI recommends that this bit be enabled whenever the comparison frequency exceeds 20 MHz and RF digital lock detect is being used. 8.6.8.2 IF_RST—IF PLL Counter Reset When this bit is enabled, the IF PLL N and R counters are reset, and the charge pump is put in a Tri-State condition.

It is OK to have one regulator supply the part, although it is best to put individual bypassing as shown in the Layout Guidelines for the best spur performance. If only using one PLL and not both DO NOT DISCONNECT OR GROUND power pins! For instance, the IF PLL supply pins also supply other blocks than just the IF PLL and they must be connected. However, if the IF PLL is disabled, then one can eliminate all bypass capacitors for these pins. 11 Layout 11.1 Layout Guidelines The critical pin is the high frequency input pin that should be short. In general, try to keep the ground and power planes 20 mils or further from vias to supply pins to ensure that no spur energy can couple to them. 11.2 Layout Example High Frequency Input Pin Figure 27.
