VCO Frequency Ranges
Because the PLL band covers greater than a 2× frequency range,
there can be two options for the PLL band select: one at the low
f
end of the range and one at the high end of the range. Under
HIGH
these conditions, the VCO phase noise is optimal when the user
1764
selects the band select value corresponding to the high end of
1734
the frequency range. Figure 72 shows how the VCO bandwidth
1714
and the optimal VCO frequency varies with the band select
1684
value.

PLL Loop Filter Bandwidth
1617
The loop filter bandwidth of the PLL is programmed via SPI
1592
Reg. 0x0A, Bits <4:0>. Changing these values switches
1572
capacitors on the internal loop filter. No external loop filter
1549
components are required. This loop filter has a pole at 0 (P1),
1528
and then a zero- (Z1) pole (P2) combination. Z1 and P2 occur
1504
within a decade of each other. The location of the zero pole is
1487
determined by Bit <4:0>. For a setting of 00000, the zero pole
1464
occurs near 10 MHz. By setting Bits <4:0> to 11111, the Z1/P2
1447
combination can be lowered to approximately 1 MHz. The
1423
relationship between Bits <4:0> and the position of the zero
1407
pole between 1 MHz and 10 MHz is linear. The internal compo-
1385
nents are not low tolerance, however, and can drift by as much
1369
as ±30%.
1350
1332
For optimal performance, the bandwidth adjustment
1313
(Reg. 0x0A, Bits <4:0>) should be set to 11111 for all
1295
operating modes with PLL enabled. The PLL bias settings
1240
(Reg. 0x09, Bits <2:0>) should be set to 111. The PLL control
1259
voltage (Reg. 0x0A, Bits <7:5>) is read back and is proportional
1207
to the dc voltage at the internal loop filter output. With the PLL
1224
bias settings given in this section, the readback from the PLL
1204
control voltage should typically be 010 or possibly 001 or 011.
1189
Anything outside of this range indicates that the PLL is not
1170
operating correctly.
