BENCH TEST SETUPS
Charge Pump Current Measurement Procedure
The above block diagram shows the test procedure for testing the RF and IF charge pumps. These tests include
absolute current level, mismatch, and leakage. In order to measure the charge pump currents, a signal is applied
to the high frequency input pins. The reason for this is to ensure that the phase detector gets enough transitions
in order 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, in
order to measure the RF charge pump current, 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. Note that the magnitude of the RF and IF PLL charge pump currents are also controlled by the RF_CPG
and IF_CPG bits. Once the charge pump currents are known, the mismatch can be calculated as well. In order to
measure leakage currents, the charge pump current is set to a TRI-STATE mode by enabling the counter reset
bits. This is RF_RST for the RF PLL and IF_RST for the IF PLL. The table below shows a summary of the
various charge pump tests.

Sensitivity Measurement Procedure
Sensitivity is defined as the power level limits beyond which the output of the counter being tested is off by 1 Hz
or more of its expected value. It is typically measured over frequency, voltage, and temperature. In order 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 LMX2470 has a flip-flop which divides this frequency by two to make the duty
cycle 50% in order to make it easier to read with the frequency counter. The frequency counter input impedance
should be set to high impedance. In order to perform the measurement, the temperature, frequency, and voltage
is set to a fixed value and the power level of the signal is varied. Note that 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 in order to produce a
family of sensitivity curves. Since 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 show
above.

Input Impedance Measurement Procedure
The above block diagram shows the test procedure measuring the input impedance for the LMX2470. This
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 using a 0 ohm resistor, and a short
can be implemented by using two 100 ohm resistors in parallel. Note that no DC blocking capacitor is used for
this test procedure. This 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 DC blocking capacitor usually is, and then adding a 0 ohm
resistor back for the actual measurement. Once that the network analyzer 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 in order 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.
Functional Description
GENERAL
The basic phase-lock-loop (PLL) configuration consists of a high-stability crystal reference oscillator, a frequency
synthesizer such as the TI LMX2470, a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), and a passive loop filter. The
frequency synthesizer includes a phase detector, current mode charge pump, as well as programmable
reference [R] and feedback [N] frequency dividers. The VCO frequency is established by dividing the crystal
reference signal down via the R counter to obtain a frequency that sets the comparison frequency. This
comparison frequency, fCOMP, is input of a phase/frequency detector and compared with another signal, fN, the
feedback signal, which was obtained by dividing the VCO frequency down by way of the N counter and fractional
circuitry. The phase/frequency detector's current source outputs a charge into the loop filter, which is then
converted into the VCO's control voltage. The function of the phase/frequency comparator is to adjust the voltage
presented to the VCO until the frequency and phase of the feedback signal match that of the reference signal.
When this ‘phase-locked’ condition exists, the VCO frequency will be N+F times that of the comparison
frequency, where N is the integer component of the divide ratio and F is the fractional component. Fractional
synthesis allows the phase detector frequency to be increased while maintaining the same frequency step size
for channel selection. The division value N is thereby reduced giving a lower phase noise referred to the phase
detector input, and the comparison frequency is increased allowing faster switching times.

SNAS195B –MARCH 2003–REVISED MARCH 2013
PHASE DETECTOR OPERATING FREQUENCY
The maximum phase detector operating frequency for the LMX2470 is 30 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. There are trade-offs in choosing what phase detector frequency to operate at. If this
frequency is run higher, then phase noise will be lower, but lock time may be increased due to cycle slipping.
After this phase detector frequency gets sufficiently high, then there are diminishing returns for phase noise, and
raising the charge pump current has a greater impact on phase noise. This phase detector frequency also has an
impact on fractional spurs. In general, the spur performance is better at higher phase detector frequencies,
although this is application specific. The current consumption may also slightly increase with higher phase
detector frequencies.
OSCILLATOR
The LMX2470 provides maximum flexibility for choosing an oscillator reference. One possible method is to use a
single-ended TCXO to drive the OSCin pin. The part can also be configured to be driven differentially using the
OSCin and OSCout* pins. Note that the OSCin and OSCout* pins can not be used as an inverter for a crystal.
Selection between these two modes does have a noticeable impact on phase noise and sub-fractional spurs.
Regardless of which mode is used, the performance is generally best for higher oscillator power levels.
POWER DOWN AND POWER UP MODES
The power down state of the LMX2470 is controlled by many factors. The one factor that overrides all other
factors is the EN pin. If this pin is low, this ensures the part will be powered down. Asserting a high logic level on
EN 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 EN 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[1:0]
(Auto Power Up) bits do not override this.
There are many different ways to power down this chip and many different things that can be powered down.
This section discusses how to power down the PLLs on the chip. There are two terms that need to be defined
first: synchronous power down and asynchronous power down. In the case of synchronous power down, the PLL
chip powers down after the charge pump turns off. This is best to prevent unwanted frequency glitches upon
power up. However, in certain cases where the charge pump is stuck on, such as the case when there is no
VCO signal applied, this type of power down will not reliably work and asynchronous power down is necessary.
In the case of asynchronous power down, the PLL powers down regardless of the status of the charge pump.
There are 4 factors that affect the power down state of the chip: the EN pin, the power down bit, the TRI-STATE
bit, and writing to the RF N counter with the RF_ATPU[1:0] bits enabled

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 10 nS. To enter the locked state (Lock = HIGH) the phase error must be
less than the 10nS RC delay for 5 consecutive reference cycles. Once in lock (Lock = HIGH), the RC delay is
changed to approximately 20nS. To exit the locked state (Lock = LOW), the phase error must become greater
than the 20nS RC delay. When the PLL is in the power down mode, Lock is forced LOW. For the RF PLL, the
digital lock detect circuitry does not function reliably for comparison frequencies above 20 MHz.
The IF PLL digital lock detect circuitry works in a very similar way as the RF PLL digitial lock circuitry, except that
it uses a delay of less than 15 nS for 5 reference cycles to determine a locked condition and a delay of greater
than 30 nS to determine the IF PLL is unlocked. Note that 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. A flow chart of the IF digital lock detect circuitry is shown below.
PCB LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
Power Supply Pins For these pins, it is recommended that these be filtered by taking a series 18 ohm 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. It is therefore
recommended to provide two capacitors of very different sizes for the best filtering. 0.1 µF and 100 pF are typical
values. The charge pump supply pins in particular are vuvulnerablenerable to power supply noise.

High Frequency Input Pins, FinRF and FinIF The signal path from the VCO to the PLL is the most sensitive
and challenging for board layout. It is generally recommended 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
ohms is still recommended to isolate the PLL from the VCO. The DC blocking capacitor should be chosen at
least to be 100 pF. It may turn out that the frequency in this trace is above the self-resonant frequency of the
capacitor, but since the input impedance of the PLL tends to be capacitive, it actually be a benefit to exceed the
self-resonant frequency. The pad and the DC blocking capacitor should be placed as close to the PLL as
possible
Complimentary 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.
FASTLOCK AND CYCLE SLIP REDUCTION
The LMX2470 has enhanced features for Fastlock and cycle slip operation. The next several sections discuss
the the benefits of using both of these features. There are four possible combinations that are possible, and
these are shown in the table below:
Decrease Comparison
Keep Comparison
Charge Pump Current Frequency (CSR)
Frequency the Same (RF Side Only)
Increase Charge Pump Current Classical Fastlock CSR/Fastlock Combination
Allows the loop bandwidth to be increased. Engaging the CSR does decrease the loop
This has a frequency glitch caused by bandwidth during frequency acquisition, but
switching the charge pump currents, but may be necessary to reduce cycle slipping.
there is no frequency glitch caused by By also increasing the charge pump current,
switching from fractional to integer mode this can compensate for the reduce loop
bandwidth due to the CSR
Keep Charge Pump Current the Same Operation with No Fastlock CSR Only
This mode represents using no Fastlock This mode is not generally recommended,
but may reduce cycle slipping in some
applications. Although the theoretical lock
time is decreased, due to the decreased loop
bandwidth during Fastlock, cycle slips can be
reduced or eliminated.
Decrease Charge Pump Current It never makes sense to use a lower charge
pump current during Fastlock than in the
steady state.
Note that if the charge pump current and cycle slip reduction circuitry are engaged in the same proportion, then it
is not necessary to switch in a Fastlock resistor and the loop filter will be optimized for both normal mode and
Fastlock mode. For third and fourth order filters which have problems with cycle slipping, this may prove to be
the optimal choice of settings.
Determining the Loop Gain Multiplier, K
The loop bandwidth multiplier, K, is needed in order to determine the theoretical impact of fastlock/CSR on the
loop bandwidth and also which resistor should be switched in parallel with the loop filter resistor R2. K = K_K ·
K_Fcomp where K is the loop gain multiplier K_K is the ratio of the Fastlock charge pump current to the steady
state charge pump current. Note that this should always be greater than or equal to one. K_Fcomp is the ratio of
the Fastlock comparison frequency to the steady state comparison frequency. If this ratio is less than one, this
implies that the CSR is being used.
Determining the Theoretical Lock Time Improvement and Fastlock Resistor, R2’
When using fastlock, it is necessary to switch in a resistor R2’, in parallel with R2 in order to keep the loop filter
optimized and maintain the same phase margin. After the PLL has achieved a frequency that is sufficiently close
to the desired frequency, the resistor R2’ is disengaged and the charge pump current is and comparison
frequency are returned to normal. Of special concern is the glitch that is caused when the resistor R2’ is
disengaged. This glitch can take up a significant portion of the lock time. The LMX2470 has enhanced switching
circuitry to minimize this glitch and therefore improve the lock time.

The change in loop bandwidth is dependent upon the loop gain multiplier, K, as determined in Determining the
Loop Gain Multiplier, K. The theoretical improvement in lock time is given below, but the actual improvement will
be less than this due to the glitch that is caused by disengaging Fastlock. The theoretical improvement is given
to show an upper bound on what improvement is possible with Fastlock. In the case that K < 1, this implies the
CSR is being engaged and that the theoretical lock time will be degraded. However, since this mode reduces or
eliminates cycle slipping, the actual lock time may be better in cases where the loop bandwidth is small relative
to the comparison frequency. Realize that the theoretical lock time multiplier does not account for the
fastlock/CSR disengagement glitch, which is most severe for larger values of K.

Using Fastlock and Cycle Slip Reduction (CSR) to Avoid Cycle Slipping
In the case that the comparison frequency is very large (i.e. 100 X) of the loop bandwidth, cycle slipping may
occur when an instantaneous phase error is presented to the phase detector. This can be reduced by increasing
the loop bandwidth during frequency acquisition, decreasing the comparison frequency during frequency
acquisition, or some combination of the these. If increasing the loop bandwidth during frequency acquisition is
not sufficient to reduce cycle slipping, the LMX2470 also has a routine to decrease the comparison frequency.
RF PLL Fastlock Reference Table and Example

(RF_CPG), the Fastlock charge pump current (RF_CPF), and the Cycle Slip Reduction Factor (CSR).

The above table shows various combinations for using RF_CPG, RF_CPF, and CSR. Although this table does
not show all possible combinations, it does show all the modes that give the best possible performance. To use
this table, choose a CSR factor on the horizontal axis, then a fastlock loop bandwidth multiplier on the vertical
axis, and the table will show all possible combinations of steady state current, Fastlock current, and what resistor
value (R2’) to use during Fastlock. In order to better illustrate the cycle slipping and Fastlock circuitry, consider
the following example:
Crystal Reference 10 MHz
Comparison Frequency 10 MHz × 2 = 20 MHz (OSC2X = 1)
Output Frequency 1930 – 1990 MHz
PLL Loop Bandwidth 10 KHz
Loop Filter Order 4th (i.e. 7 components)
The comparison frequency is 20 MHz and the loop bandwidth is 10 KHz. 20 MHz is a good comparison
frequency to use because it yields the best phase noise performance. This ratio of the comparison frequency to
the loop bandwidth is 2000, so cycle slipping will occur and degrade the lock time, unless something is done to
prevent it. Because the filter is fourth order, it would be difficult to keep the loop filter optimized if the loop gain
multiplier, K was not one. For this reason, choosing a loop gain multiplier of one makes sense. One solution is to
set the steady state current to be 100 µA, and the fastlock current to be 1600 µA. The CSR factor could be set to
1/16 and reduce this ratio to 2000/16 = 125. However, using 100 µA charge pump current has phase noise that
is significantly worse than the higher charge pump current modes. A better solution would be to use 200 µA
current and 1600 µA X2 (using PDCP = X2 Fastlock), since the 200 µA mode will have better phase noise.
Depending on how important phase noise is, it could make sense to use a higher steady state current. Using 800
µA steady state current provides much better phase noise than 200 uA (about 5 dB), but then the cycle slip
reduction factor would need to be reduced to 4. In general, it is good practice to use the PDCP = X2 fastlock
mode whenever cycle slip reduction is used, so that the best phase noise can be achieved. If the ¼ CSR factor
is used, then the ratio of comparison frequency to loop bandwidth in fastlock is reduced to 250. There may be
some cycle slipping, but the phase noise benefit of using the higher charge pump current may be worth it. If
phase noise is even more important, it might even make sense to have a steady state current of 1600 µA and
use a CSR factor of ½ and the PDCP mode of X2 Fastlock. Another consideration is that the comparison
frequency could be lowered in the steady state mode to reduce cycle slipping. This sacrifices phase noise for
lock time. In general, using Fastlock and CSR is not the same for every application. There is a trade-off of lock
time vs. phase noise. It might be tempting to try to achieve the best Fastlock benefit by using a K value of 32.
Even if the loop filter could be kept well optimized in Fastlock, this hypothetical design would probably switch
very fast when the Fastlock was engaged, but then when Fastlock is disengaged, a large frequency glitch would
appear, and the majority of the lock time would consist of waiting for this glitch to settle out. Although this would
definitely improve the lock time, even accounting for the glitch, the same result could probably be obtained by
using a lower K value, like 8, and having better phase noise instead.
Capacitor Dielectric Considerations for Lock Time
The LMX2470 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 NP0/CG0 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.
FRACTIONAL SPUR AND PHASE NOISE CONTROLS FOR THE LMX2470
The LMX2470 has several bits that have a large impact on fractional spurs. These bits also have a lesser effect
on phase noise. The control words in question are CPUD[2:0], FM[1:0], and DITH[1:0]. It is difficult to predict
which settings will be optimal for a particular application without testing them, but the general recipe for using
these bits can be seen.

A good algorithm is to start with a 3rd order fractional modulator (FM=3) and dithering disabled. Then depending
on whether phase noise, fractional spurs, or sub-fractional spurs are most important, optimize the settings.
Integer spurs and fractional spurs are nothing new, but sub-fractional spurs are something unique to delta-sigma
PLLs. These are spurs that occur at a fraction of the frequency of where a fractional spur would appear.
First adjust the delta-sigma modulator order. Often increasing from a 2nd to a 3rd order modulator provides a
large benefit in spur levels. Increasing from a 3rd to a 4th order modulator usually provides some benefit, but it is
usually on the order of a few dB. The modulator order by far has the greatest impact on the main fractional
spurs. If the loop bandwidth is very wide, or the loop filter order is not high enough, higher order modulators will
introduce a lot of sub-fractional spurs. The second order modulator usually does not have these sub-fractional
spurs. The third order modulator will introduce them at ½ of the frequency where one would expect to see a
traditional fractional spur, thus the name "sub-fractional spur". The fourth order modulator will introduce these
spurs at ½ and ¼ of where a traditional fractional spur would be. If the benefit of using a higher order modulator
seems significant enough, it may make sense to try to compensate for them using the other two test bits, or
designing a higher order loop filter. Be aware that the impact of the modulator order on the spurs may not be
consistent across tuning voltage. When the charge pump mismatch is not so bad, the lower order modulators
may seem to outperform the higher order modulators, but when the worst case fractional spurs are considered
over the whole range, often the higher order modulator performs better.
Second, adjust with the CPUD[2:0] bits. Setting this bit to maximum tends to reduce the sub-fractional spurs the
most, however, it may degrade phase noise by up to 1 dB.
Third, experiment with the dithering. When dithering is enabled, it may increase phase noise by up to 2 dB.
However, enabling dithering may also reduce the sub-fractional spurs. Also, sometimes both the fractional spurs
and the sub-fractional spurs can be unpredictable with dithering disabled. This is because the delta-sigma
sequence is periodic, but the starting point changes. Dithering takes these problems away. When the fractional
numerator is 0, enabling dithering typically hurts spur performance, because it is trying to correct for spur that are
not there.
Fourth, consider experimenting with the loop filter order and comparison frequency. In general, higher order loop
filters are always better, but they require more components. Often, the best spur performance is at higher
comparison frequencies as well. The reason why this is the last step is not because it has the least impact, but
because it takes more labor to do this than to change the FM[1:0], CPUD[2:0], and DITH[1:0] bits.
Although general trends do exist, the optimal settings for test bits may depend on the comparison frequency and
loop filter. Also the output frequency in important. In particular, the charge pump tuning voltage is relevant. The
recommended way to do this is to test the spur levels at the low, middle, and high range of the VCO, and use the
worst case over these three frequencies as a metric for performance. Also, it is important to be aware that all the
rules stated above have counterexamples and exceptions. However, more often than not, these rules apply.
Programming Description
GENERAL PROGRAMMING INFORMATION
The descriptions below describe the 24-bit data registers loaded through the MICROWIRE Interface. These data
registers are used to program the R counter, the N counter, and the internal mode control latches. The data
format of a typical 24-bit data register is shown below. 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 that it is best to program the N counter last, since doing so
initializes the digital lock detector and Fastlock circuitry. Note that initialize means it resets the counters, but it
does NOT program values into these registers. Upon a cold power-up, it is necessary to program all the
registers. The exception is when 22-bit is not being used. In this case, it is not necessary to program the R7
register.

Because the LMX2470 registers are complicated, they are organized into two groups, basic and advanced. 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.

RF_PD -- RF Power Down Control Bit
When this bit is set to 0, the RF PLL operates normally. When it is set to one, the RF PLL is powered down and
the RF Charge pump is set to a TRI-STATE mode. Because the EN pin and ATPU[1:0] word also controls power
down functions, there may be some conflicts. The order of precedence is as follows. First, if the EN 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[1:0]
word says to do so, regardless of the state of the RF_PD bit. After the EN pin and the ATPU[1:0] word are
considered, then the RF_PD bit then takes control of the power down function for the RF PLL.

IF_PD -- IF Power Down Bit
When this bit is set to 0, the IF PLL operates normally. When it is set to 1, the IF PLL powers down and the
output of the IF PLL charge pump is set to a TRI-STATE mode. If the IF_CPT bit is set to 0, then the power
down state is synchronous and will not occur until the charge pump is off. If the IF_CPT bit is set to 1, then the
power down will occur immediately regardless of the state of the IF PLL charge pump.

OSC -- Differential Oscillator Mode Enable
This bit selects between single-ended and differential mode for the OSCin and OSCout* pins. When this bit is set
to 0, the RF R and IF R counters are driven in a single-ended fashion through the OSCin pin. Note that the
OSCin and OSCout* pin can not be used to drive a crystal. When this bit is set to 1, the OSCin and OSCout*
pins are used to drive these R counters differentially. In some cases, spur performance may be better when this
is set to differential mode, even if the R counters are being driven in a single-ended fashion. Current
consumption in differential mode is slightly higher than when in single-ended mode.
OSC2X -- Oscillator Doubler Enable
When this bit is set to 0, the oscillator doubler is disabled TCXO frequency presented to the IF R counter is
unaffected. Phase noise added by the doulber is negligible.

FM[1:0] -- Fractional Mode
Determines the order of the delta-sigma modulator. 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 in order to allow for
sufficient roll-off.

FDM -- Fractional Denominator Mode
When this bit is set to 0, the part operates with a 12- bit fractional denominator. For most applications, 12-bit
mode should be adequate, but for those applications requiring ultra fine tuning resolution, there is 22-bit mode.
Note that the PLL may consume slightly more current when it is in 22-bit mode.

CPUD[2:0] -- Charge Pump User Definition
This bit allows the user to choose from several different modes in the charge pump. The charge pump current is
unaffected, but the fractional spurs and phase noise are impacted by a few dB. In some designs, particularly if
the loop bandwidth is wide and a 4th order delta-sigma engine is used, small spurs may appear at a fraction of
where the first fractional spur should appear. In other designs, these sub-fractional spurs are not present. The
user needs to use this adjustment to make these sub-fractional spurs go away, while still getting the best phase
noise possible.

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.
Determining 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 inpact 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.
