The LMX243x devices are designed for use as RF and IF local oscillators for dual conversion radio transceivers. A 32/33 or a 16/17 prescale ratio can be selected for the 5.0 GHz LMX2434 RF synthesizer. An 8/9 or a 16/17 prescale ratio can be selected for both the LMX2430 and LMX2433 RF synthesizers. The IF circuitry contains an 8/9 or a 16/17 prescaler. Using a proprietary digital phase locked loop technique, the LMX243x devices generate very stable, low noise control signals for RF and IF voltage controlled oscillators. Both the RF and IF synthesizers include a two-level programmable charge pump. Both the RF and IF synthesizers have dedicated Fastlock circuitry with integrated timeout counters. Furthermore, only a single word write is required to power up and tune the synthesizers to a new frequency. Serial data is transferred to the devices via a three-wire interface (DATA, LE, CLK). A low voltage logic interface allows direct connection to 1.8V devices. Supply voltages from 2.25V to 2.75V are supported . The LMX243x family features low current consumption: LMX2430 (3.0 GHz/ 0.8 GHz) -- 2.8 mA/ 1.4 mA, LMX2433 (3.6 GHz/ 1.7 GHz) -- 3.2 mA/ 2.0 mA, LMX2434 (5.0 GHz/ 2.5 GHz) -- 4.6 mA/ 2.4 mA at 2.50V. n Low Current Consumption n 2.25V to 2.75V Operation n Selectable Synchronous or Asynchronous Powerdown Mode n Selectable Dual Modulus Prescaler: LMX2430 RF: 8/9 or 16/17 LMX2433 RF: 8/9 or 16/17 LMX2434 RF: 16/17 or 32/33 LMX243x IF: 8/9 or 16/17 n Programmable Charge Pump Current Levels RF and IF: 1 or 4 mA n FastlockTM Technology with Integrated Timeout Counters n Digital Filtered Lock Detect Output n Analog Lock Detect Output (supports both Push-Pull and Open Drain configurations) n 1.8V MICROWIRE Logic Interface n Available in 20-Pin TSSOP and 20-Pin UTCSP The LMX243x devices are available in 20-Pin TSSOP and 20-Pin UTCSP surface mount plastic packages.

The PFD is sensitive to the rising edges of Fr and Fp. Assuming positive VCO characteristics (RF_CPP bit = 1); the charge pump turns ON, and sinks current when the first rising edge of Fp is detected. Since Fr has no rising edge, the charge pump continues to sink current indefinitely. In order to measure the RF charge pump source current, the RF_CPP bit is simply set to 0 (negative VCO characteristics) in CodeLoader. Similarly, in order to measure the TRI-STATE leakage current, the RF_CPT bit is set to 1. The measurements are typically taken over supply voltage and temperature. The measurements are also typically taken at the HIGH and LOW charge pump current gains. The charge pump current gain can be controlled by the RF_CPG bit in CodeLoader. Once the charge pump currents are determined, the (i) charge pump output current magnitude variation versus charge pump output voltage, (ii) charge pump output sink current versus charge pump output source current mismatch, and (iii) charge pump output current magnitude versus tempeature, can be calculated. Refer to the Charge Pump Current Specifications Definition for more details. The block diagram above illustrates the setup required to measure the LMX243x device's RF charge pump sink current. The same setup is used for the LMX2430TM Evaluation Board. The purpose of this test is to assess the functionality of the RF charge pump. The IF charge pump is evaluated in the same way. This setup uses an open loop configuration. A power supply is connected to Vcc. By means of a signal generator, a 10 MHz signal is typically applied to the FinRF pin. The signal is one of two inputs to the phase/ frequency detector (PFD). The 3 dB pad provides a 50 match between the PLL and the signal generator. The OSCin pin is tied to Vcc. This establishes the other input to the PFD. Alternatively, this input can be tied directly to the ground plane. The EN and ENosc pins are also both tied to Vcc. A Semiconductor Parameter Analyzer is connected to the CPoutRF pin and used to measure the sink, source, and TRI-STATE leakage currents. Let Fr represent the frequency of the signal applied to the OSCin pin, which is simply zero in this case (DC), and let Fp represent the frequency of the signal applied to the FinRF 29 www.national.com LMX2430/LMX2433/LMX2434 LMX243x FinRF Sensitivity Test Setup 20053589 The block diagram above illustrates the setup required to measure the LMX243x device's RF input sensitivity level. The same setup is used for the LMX2430TM Evaluation Board. The purpose of this test is to measure the acceptable signal level to the FinRF input of the PLL chip. Outside the acceptable signal range, the feedback divider begins to divide incorrectly and miscount the frequency. The FinIF sensitivity is evaluated in the same way. The setup uses an open loop configuration. A power supply is connected to Vcc. The IF PLL is powered down (IF_PD bit = 1). By means of a signal generator, an RF signal is applied to the FinRF pin. The 3 dB pad provides a 50 match between the PLL and the signal generator. The EN, ENosc, and OSCin pins are all tied to Vcc. The N value is typically set to 10000 in CodeLoader, i.e. RF_B word = 156 and RF_A word = 16 for RF_P bit = 0 (LMX2434) or RF_P bit = 1 (LMX2430 and LMX2433). The feedback divider output is routed to the Ftest/LD pin by selecting the RF_N/2 Frequency word (MUX[3:0] word = 15) in CodeLoader. A Universal Counter is connected to the Ftest/LD pin and used to monitor the output frequency of the feedback divider. The www.national.com expected frequency should be the signal generator frequency divided by twice the corresponding counter value, i.e. 20000. The factor of two comes in because the LMX43x device has an internal /2 circuit which is used to provide a 50% duty cycle. Sensitivity is typically measured over frequency, supply voltage and temperature. In order to perform the measurement, the temperature, frequency, and supply voltage is set to a fixed value and the power level of the signal at FinRF is varied. Sensitivity is reached when the frequency error of the divided RF input is greater than or equal to 1 Hz. The power attenuation from the cable and the 3 dB pad must be accounted for. The feedback divider will actually miscount if too much or too little power is applied to the FinRF input. Therefore, the allowed input power level will be bounded by the upper and lower sensitivity limits. In a typical application, if the power level to the FinRF input approaches the sensitivity limits, this can introduce spurs or cause degradation to the phase noise. When the power level gets even closer to these limits, or exceeds it, then the RF PLL loses lock. 30 LMX2430/LMX2433/LMX2434 LMX243x OSCin Sensitivity Test Setup 20053590 The block diagram above illustrates the setup required to measure the LMX243x device's OSCin buffer sensitivity level. The same setup is used for the LMX2430TM Evaluation Board. This setup is similar to the FinRF sensitivity setup except that the signal generator is now connected to the OSCin pin and both Fin pins are tied to Vcc. The 51 shunt resistor matches the OSCin input to the signal generator. The R counter is typically set to 1000, i.e. RF_R word = 1000 or IF_R word = 1000. The reference divider output is routed to the Ftest/LD pin by selecting the RF_R/ 2 Frequency word (MUX[3:0] word = 14) or the IF_R/ 2 Frequency word (MUX[3:0] word = 12) in CodeLoader. A Universal Counter is connected to the Ftest/LD pin and is used to monitor the output frequency of the reference divider. The expected frequency should be the signal generator frequency divided by twice the corresponding counter value, i.e. 2000. The factor of two comes in because the LMX243x device has an internal /2 circuit which is used to provide a 50% duty cycle. In a similar way, sensitivity is typically measured over frequency, supply voltage and temperature. In order to perform the measurement, the temperature, frequency, and supply voltage is set to a fixed value and the power level (voltage level) of the signal at OSCin is varied. Sensitivity is reached when the frequency error of the divided input signal is greater than or equal to 1 Hz. 31 www.national.com LMX2430/LMX2433/LMX2434 LMX243x FinRF Input Impedance Test Setup 20053591 The block diagram above illustrates the setup required to measure the LMX243x device's RF input impedance. The same setup is used for the LMX2430TM Evaluation Board. Measuring the device's input impedance facilitates the design of appropriate matching networks to match the PLL to the VCO, or in more critical situations, to the characteristic impedance of the printed circuit board (PCB) trace, to prevent undesired transmission line effects. The FinIF input impedance is evaluated in the same way. Before the actual measurements are taken, the Network Analyzer needs to be calibrated, i.e. the error coefficients need to be calculated. The Network Analyzer's calibration standard is used to calculate these coefficients. The calibration standard includes an open, short and a matched load. A 1-port calibration is implemented here. To calculate the coefficients, the PLL chip is first removed from the PCB. A piece of semi-rigid coaxial cable is then soldered to the pad on the PCB which is equivalent to the FinRF pin on the PLL chip. Proper grounding near the exposed tip of the semi-rigid coaxial cable is required for accurate results. Note that the DC blocking capacitor is removed for this test. The Network Analyzer port is then connected to the other end of the semi-rigid coaxial cable. In www.national.com this way, the semi-rigid coaxial cable acts as a transmission line. This transmission line adds electrical length and produces an offset from the reference plane of the Network Analyzer; therefore, it must be included in the calibration. The desired operating frequency is then set. The typical frequency range selected for the LMX243x device's RF synthesizer is from 100 MHz to 6000 MHz. The Network Analyzer calculates the calibration coefficients based on the measured S11 parameters. With this all done, calibration is now complete. The PLL chip is then placed on the PCB. A power supply is then connected to Vcc. The EN, ENosc, and OSCin pins are all tied to Vcc. Alternatively, the OSCin pin can be tied to ground. In this setup, the complementary input (FinRF*) is AC coupled to ground. With the Network Analyzer still connected to the semi-rigid coaxial cable, the measured FinRF impedance is displayed. The OSCin input impedance is measured in the same way. The impedance is measured when the oscillator buffer is powered up (ENosc is set HIGH) and when the oscillator buffer is powered down (ENosc pin is set LOW). 32 LMX2430/LMX2433/LMX2434 LMX243x Serial Data Input Timing 20053510 Notes: 1. DATA is clocked into the 24-bit shift register on the rising edge of CLK 2. The MSB of DATA is shifted in first. 33 www.national.com LMX2430/LMX2433/LMX2434 1.0 Functional Description The basic phase-lock-loop (PLL) configuration consists of a high-stability crystal reference oscillator, a frequency synthesizer such as the National Semiconductor LMX243x, a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), and a passive loop filter. The frequency synthesizer includes a phase detector, current mode charge pump, programmable reference R and feedback N frequency dividers. The VCO frequency is established by dividing the crystal reference signal down via the reference divider to obtain a comparison reference frequency. This reference signal, fr, is then presented to the input of a phase/ frequency detector and compared with the feedback signal, fp, which was obtained by dividing the VCO frequency down by way of the feedback divider. The phase/ frequency detector measures the phase error between the fr and fp signals and outputs control signals that are directly proportional to the phase error. The charge pump then pumps charge into or out of the loop filter based on the magnitude and direction of the phase error. The loop filter converts the charge into a stable control voltage for the VCO. The phase/frequency detector's function is to adjust the voltage presented to the VCO until the feedback signal's frequency and phase match that of the reference signal. When this "Phase-Locked" condition exists, the VCO frequency will be N times that of the comparison frequency, where N is the feedback divider ratio. LMX2430 and LMX2433 RF synthesizers. The IF PLL is single ended. An 8/9 or a 16/17 prescale ratio can be selected for the IF synthesizer. 1.4 PROGRAMMABLE FEEDBACK DIVIDERS (N COUNTERS) The programmable feedback dividers operate in concert with the prescalers to divide the input signal, Fin, by a factor of N. The output of the programmable reference divider is provided to the feedback input of the phase detector circuit. The divide ratio should be chosen such that the maximum phase comparison frequency (fCOMPRF or fCOMPIF) of 10 MHz is not exceeded. The programmable feedback divider circuit is comprised of an A counter (swallow counter) and a B counter (programmble binary counter). For both the LMX2430 and LMX2433, the RF_A counter is a 4-bit swallow counter, programmable from 0 to 15. The LMX2434 RF_A counter is a 5-bit swallow counter, programmable from 0 to 31. The LMX243x IF_A counter is a 4-bit swallow counter, programmable from 0 to 15. For both the LMX2430 and LMX2433, the RF_B counter is a 15-bit binary counter, programmable from 3 to 32767. The LMX2434 RF_B counter is a 14-bit binary counter, programmable from 3 to 16383. The LMX243x IF_B is a 14-bit binary counter programmable from 3 to 16383. A continuous integer divide ratio is achieved if N P * (P-1), where P is the value of the prescaler selected. Divide ratios less than the minimum continuous divide ratio are achievable as long as the binary programmable counter value is greater than the swallow counter value (B A). Refer to Sections 2.5.1.1, 2.5.1.2, 2.5.2.1, 2.5.2.2, 2.8.1, and 2.8.2 for details on how to program the A and B counters. The following equations are useful in determining and programming a particular value of N: N = (P x B) + A Fin = N x fCOMP Definitions: fCOMP: RF or IF phase detector comparison frequency Fin: RF or IF input frequency A: RF_A or IF_A counter value B: RF_B or IF_B counter value P: Preset modulus of the dual moduIus prescaler LMX2430 RF synthesizer: P = 8 or 16 LMX2433 RF synthesizer: P = 8 or 16 LMX2434 RF synthesizer: P = 16 or 32 LMX243x IF synthesizer: P = 8 or 16 1.1 REFERENCE OSCILLATOR INPUT The reference oscillator frequency for both the RF and IF PLLs is provided from an external reference via the OSCin pin. The reference buffer circuit supports input frequencies from 5 to 40 MHz with a minimum input sensitivity of 0.5 VPP. The reference buffer circuit has an approximate Vcc/2 input threshold and can be driven from an external AC coupled source. Typically, the OSCin pin is connected to the output of a crystal oscillator. 1.2 REFERENCE DIVIDERS (R COUNTERS) The reference dividers divide the reference input signal, OSCin, by a factor of R. The output of the reference divider circuits feeds the reference input of the phase detector. This reference input to the phase detector is often referred to as the comparison frequency. The divide ratio should be chosen such that the maximum phase comparison frequency (fCOMPRF or fCOMPIF) of 10 MHz is not exceeded. The RF and IF reference dividers are each comprised of 15-bit CMOS binary counters that support a continuous integer divide ratio from 3 to 32767. The RF and IF reference divider circuits are clocked by the output of the reference buffer circuit which is common to both. Refer to Sections 2.4.1 and 2.7.1 for details on how to program the RF_R and IF_R counters. 1.5 PHASE/ FREQUENCY DETECTORS The RF and IF phase/ frequency detectors (PFD) are driven from their respective N and R counter outputs. The maximum frequency for both the RF and IF phase detector inputs is 10 MHz. The PFD outputs control the respective charge pumps. The polarity of the pump-up or pump-down control signals are programmed using the RF_CPP or IF_CPP control bits, depending on whether the RF or IF VCO characteristics are positive or negative. Refer to Sections 2.4.2 and 2.7.2 for more details. The PFDs have a detection range of -2 to +2. The PFDs also receive a feedback signal from the charge pump in order to eliminate dead zone. 1.3 PRESCALERS The FinRF and FinIF input pins drive the input of a differential-pair amplifier. The output of the differential-pair amplifier drives a chain of D-type flip-flops in a dual modulus configuration. The output of the prescaler is used to clock the subsequent feedback dividers. The RF PLL complementary inputs can be driven differentially, or the negative input can be AC coupled to ground through an external capacitor for single ended configuration. A 16/17 or a 32/33 prescale ratio can be selected for the 5.0 GHz LMX2434 RF synthesizer. An 8/9 or a 16/17 prescale ratio can be selected for both the www.national.com 34 LMX2430/LMX2433/LMX2434 1.0 Functional Description (Continued) 1.5.1 Phase Comparator and Internal Charge Pump Characteristics 20053511 Notes: 1. The minimum width of the pump-up and pump-down current pulses occur at the CPoutRF or CPoutIF pins when the loop is phase locked. 2. The diagram assumes positive VCO characteristics, i.e. RF_CPP or IF_CPP = 1. 3. fr is the PFD input from the reference divider (R counter). 4. fp is the PFD input from the programmable feedback divder (N counter). 5. CPout refers to either the RF or IF charge pump output. 1.6 CHARGE PUMPS The charge pump directs charge into or out of an external loop filter. The loop filter converts the charge into a stable control voltage which is applied to the tuning input of the VCO. The charge pump steers the VCO control voltage towards Vcc during pump-up events and towards GND during pump-down events. When locked, CPoutRF or CPoutIF are primarily in a TRI-STATE mode with small corrections occuring at the phase comparator rate. The charge pump output current magnitude can be selected by toggling the RF_CPG or IF_CPG control bits. 1.8.1 Push-Pull Analog Lock Detect Output An analog lock detect status generated from the phase detector is available on the Ftest/LD output pin if selected. A push-pull configuration can be selected for the lock detect output signal. With this configuration, the lock detect output goes HIGH when the charge pump is inactive. It goes LOW when the charge pump is active during a comparison cycle. Narrow low going pulses are observed when the charge pump turns on. There are three separate push-pull analog lock detect signals that are routed to the multiplexer. Two of these monitor the lock status of the individual synthesizers. The third detects the condition when both the RF and IF synthesizers are in a locked state. External circuitry is required to provide a steady DC signal to indicate when the PLL is in a locked state. Refer to Section 2.10 for details on how to program the different push-pull analog lock detect options. 1.7 MICROWIRE SERIAL INTERFACE The programmable register set is accessed via the MICROWIRE serial interface. A low voltage logic interface allows direct connection to 1.8V devices. The interface is comprised of three signal pins: CLK, DATA and LE. Serial data is clocked into the 24-bit shift register on the rising edge of CLK. The last two bits decode the internal control register address. When LE transitions HIGH, DATA stored in the shift register is loaded into one of four control registers depending on the state of the address bits. The MSB of DATA is loaded in first. The synthesizers can be programmed even in power down mode. A complete programming description is provided in Section 2.0 Programming Description. 1.8.2 Open-Drain Analog Lock Detect Output The lock detect output can be an open-drain configuration. In this configuration, the lock detect output goes to a high impedance state when the charge pump is inactive. It goes LOW when the charge pump is active during a comparison cycle. When a pull-up resistor is used, narrow low going pulses are observed when the charge pump turns on. Similarly, three separate open-drain analog lock detect signals are routed to the multiplexer. Two of these monitor the lock status of the individual synthesizers. The third detects the condition when both the RF and IF synthesizers are in a locked state. External circuitry is required to provide a steady DC signal to indicate when the PLL is in a locked state. Refer to Section 2.10 for details on how to program the different open-drain analog lock detect options. 1.8 MULTI-FUNCTION OUTPUTS The LMX243x device's Ftest/LD output pin is a multi-function output that can be configured as a general purpose CMOS TRI-STATE output, push-pull analog lock detect output, open-drain analog lock detect output, digital filtered lock detect output, or used to monitor the output of the various reference divider (R counter) or feedback divider (N counter) circuits. The Ftest/LD control word is used to select the desired output function. When the PLL is in powerdown mode, the Ftest/LD output is disabled and is in a high impedance state. A complete programming description of the multi-function output is provided in Section 2.10. 35 www.national.com LMX2430/LMX2433/LMX2434 1.0 Functional Description (Continued) 1.8.3 Digital Filtered Lock Detect Output A digital filtered lock detect status generated from the phase detector is also available on the Ftest/LD output pin if selected. The lock detect digital filter compares the difference bewteen the phases of the inputs to the PFD to an RC generated delay of approximately 15 ns. If the phase error is less than the 15 ns RC delay for 5 consecutive reference cycles, the PLL enters a locked state (HIGH). Once in lock, the RC delay is changed to approximately 30 ns. Once the phase error becomes greater than the 30 ns RC delay, the PLL falls out of lock (LOW). When the PLL is in powerdown mode, the Ftest/LD output is forced LOW. A flow chart of the digital filtered lock detect output is shown below. 20053503 Similarly, three separate digital filtered lock detect signals are routed to the multiplexer. Two of these monitor the lock status of the individual synthesizers. The third detects the condition when both the RF and IF synthesizers are in a www.national.com locked state. External circuitry is not required when the digital filtered lock detect option is selected. Refer to Section 2.10 for details on how to program the different digital filtered lock detect options. 36 (Continued) 1.8.4 Reference Divider and Feedback Divider Output The outputs of the various N and R dividers can be monitored by selecting the appropriate Ftest/LD word. This is essential when performing OSCin or Fin sensitivity measurements. Refer to the LMX243x FinRF Sensitivity Test Setup or LMX243x OSCin Sensitivity Test Setup sections for more details. Note, the R and N outputs that are routed to the Ftest/LD are R/2 and N/2 respectively. The internal /2 circuit is used to provide a 50% duty cycle. Refer to Section 2.10 for more details on how to route the appropriate divider output to the Ftest/LD pin. be enabled if the ENosc pin is set HIGH, independent of the state of the EN pin. This capability allows the oscillator buffer to be used as a crystal oscillator. When EN is set HIGH, powerdown is controlled through the MICROWIRE. The powerdown word is comprised of the RF_PD/ IF_PD bit, in conjuction with the RF_CPT/ IF_CPT bit. The powerdown control word is used to set the operating mode of the device. Refer to Sections 2.4.4, 2.5.4, 2.7.4, and 2.8.4 for details on how to program the RF or IF powerdown bits. When either synthesizer is powered down, the respective prescaler, phase detector, and charge pump circuit is disabled. The CPoutRF/ CPoutIF, FinRF/ FinIF, and FinRF* pins are all forced to a high impedance state. The reference divider and feedback divider circuits are held at the load point during powerdown. The oscillator buffer is disabled when the ENosc pin is set LOW. The OSCin pin is forced to a HIGH state through an approximate 100 k resistance when this condition exists. When either synthesizer is activated, the respective prescaler, phase detector, charge pump circuit, and the oscillator buffer are all powered up. The feedback divider and reference divider are held at their load point. This allows the reference oscillator, feedback divider, reference divider and prescaler circuitry to reach proper bias levels. After a finite delay, the feedback and reference dividers are enabled and they resume counting in close alignment (the maximum error is one prescaler cycle). The MICROWIRE control register remains active and capable of loading and latching data while in powerdown mode. 1.9 FASTLOCK OUTPUT The LMX243x Fastlock feature allows a faster loop response time during lock aquisition. The loop response time (lock time) can be approximately halved if the loop bandwidth is doubled. In order to achieve this, the same gain/ phase relationship should be maintained when the loop bandwidth is doubled. When the FLoutRF or OSCout/ FLoutIF pins are configured as FastLock outputs, an open drain device is enabled. The open drain device switches in a resistor parallel, and of equal value, to R2 of the external loop filter. The loop bandwidth is effectively doubled and stability is maintained. Once locked to the correct frequency, the PLL will return to a steady state condition.The LMX243x offers two methods to achieve Fastlock: manual and automatic. Manual Fastlock is achieved by increasing the charge pump current from 1 mA (RF_CPG/ IF_CPG Bit = 0) in the steady state mode, to 4 mA (RF_CPG/ IF_CPG Bit = 1) in Fastlock mode. Automatic Fastlock is achieved by programming the timeout counter register (RF_TOC/ IF_TOC) with the appropriate number of phase comparison cycles that the RF/ IF synthesizer will spend in the Fastlock state. Refer to Sections 2.6 and 2.9 for details on how to configure the FLoutRF or OSCout/ FLoutIF output to an open drain Fastlock output. 1.11.1 Synchronous Powerdown Mode In this mode, the powerdown function is gated by the charge pump. When the device is configured for synchronous powerdown, the device will enter the powerdown mode upon completion of the next charge pump pulse event. 1.10 COUNTER RESET When the RF_RST/ IF_RST bit is enabled, both the feedback divider (RF_N/ IF_N) and reference divider (RF_R/ IF_R) are held at their load point. When the device is programmed to normal operation, both the feedback divider and reference divder are enabled and resume counting in close alignment to each other. Refer to Sections 2.4.5 and 2.7.5 for more details. 1.11.2 Asynchronous Powerdown Mode In this mode, the powerdown function is NOT gated by the completion of a charge pump pulse event. When the device is configured for asynchronous powerdown, the part will go into powerdown mode immediately. 1.11 POWER CONTROL The LMX243x device can be asynchronously powered down when the EN pin is set LOW, independent of the state of the powerdown bits. Note that the OSCout/ FLoutIF pin can still EN Pin RF_CPT/ IF_CPT Bit RF_PD/ IF_PD Bit Operating Mode 0 X X Asynchronous Powerdown 1 0 0 PLL Active. Normal Operation 1 1 0 PLL Active.

The shift register consists of a 21-bit DATA[20:0] FIELD and a 3-bit ADDRESS[2:0] FIELD as shown below. The ADDRESS FIELD is used to decode the internal control register address. When LE transitions HIGH, DATA stored in the shift register is loaded into one of 6 control registers depending on the state of the ADDRESS bits.

When the RF_TOC is programmed from 0 to 3, Automatic Fastlock is disabled, and the FLoutRF pin is either configured as a general purpose CMOS TRI-STATE output or Manual Fastlock is enabled. When the RF_TOC is programmed to 0, the FLoutRF pin will be in TRI-STATE (high impedance) mode. The charge pump current is then the value specified by RF_CPG (R0[19]). When the RF_TOC is programmed to 1, the FLoutRF pin is pulled to a LOW state. The charge pump current is then set to a HIGH gain state (RF_CPG bit = 1). This condition is known as the Manual Fastlock. When the RF_TOC is programmed to 2, the FLout_RF pin will again be pulled to a LOW state, but this time the charge pump current is the value specified by RF_CPG (R0[19]). When the RF_TOC is programmed to 3, the FLoutRF pin is pulled to a HIGH state. Again, the charge pump current is the value specified by RF_CPG (R0[19]). When the RF_TOC is programmed from 4 to 4095, Fastlock is enabled and the FLoutRF pin is pulled to a LOW state. Fastlock will time-out after the specified number of PFD events. At this time, the FLoutRF pin will switch to TRI-STATE (high impedance) mode. The value programmed into RF_TOC represents the number of PFD events that the RF synthesizer will spend in the Fastlock state. Note that any write to the RF_TOC requires a PFD event on the RF synthesizer to latch the contents. This means that writes to the RF_TOC take effect synchronously with the next PFD event.
