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
end of the range and one at the high end of the range. Under
these conditions, the VCO phase noise is optimal when the user
selects the band select value corresponding to the high end of the
frequency range.
Figure 75 shows how the VCO bandwidth and
the optimal VCO frequency varies with the band select value.
VCO Frequency Ranges over Temperature
The specifications given over temperature in
Table 18 are for a
single part in a single lot. Part-to-part, and lot-to-lot, these
specifications can exhibit a mean shift of several register
settings. Systems should be designed to take this potential shift
into account to maintain optimal PLL performance.
PLL Loop Filter Bandwidth
The loop filter bandwidth of the PLL is programmed via SPI
Register 0x0A, Bits<4:0>. Changing these values switches
capacitors on the internal loop filter. No external loop filter
components are required. This loop filter has a pole at 0 (P1),
and then a zero (Z1) pole (P2) combination. Z1 and P2 occur
within a decade of each other. The location of the zero pole is
determined by Bits<4:0>. For a setting of 00000, the zero pole
occurs near 10 MHz. By setting Bits<4:0> to 11111, the Z1/P2
combination can be lowered to approximately 1 MHz. The
relationship between Bits<4:0> and the position of the zero pole
between 1 MHz and 10 MHz is linear. The internal components
are not low tolerance, however, and can drift by as much as ±30%.
For optimal performance, the bandwidth adjustment
(Register 0x0A, Bits<4:0>) should be set to 11111 for all
operating modes with PLL enabled. The PLL bias settings
