Charge Pump Current
Settings
Bit 62 (0 = 1 mA; 1 = 2 mA) allows to adjust the high current, which is active during a fre-
quency change (if the delay time of the active HCDEL register is not switched off). A
high charge pump current allows faster frequeny changes. After a frequency change,
the current reduction is reduced (in locked mode) to the low current which is set by bit 63
(0 = 50 μA; 1 = 100 μA). A lower charge pump current guarantees a higher S/N ratio.
The high current charge pump can be switched off by the active HCDEL register bits. In
this case, when HCDEL 1 is active and the bits 20 and 21 are 0 (HCDEL 1 delay time =
off) or HCDEL 2 is active and the bits 22 and 23 are 0 (HCDEL 2 delay time = off), only
the low current charge pump (current) is active in locked and in the frequency change
mode.
AM Prescaler (Divider)
Settings
The AM mixer is used for up-conversion of the AM reception frequency to the IF fre-
quency. Therefore, an AM prescaler is implemented to generate the necessary LO from
the VCO frequency. For the reception of the AM band, different prescaler (divider) set-
tings are possible.
Table 28 lists the AM prescaler (divider) settings and the reception frequencies.

Note:
The AM Prescaler Divider Settings with f
VCO
from 98.2 MHz to 124 MHz is only an exam-
ple. The tuning range depends on the tuning diode and the inductor in the VCO circuit.
The tank of the VCO should be designed for a maximum range at pin 18 (V
TUNE
) of 1.5 V
to VSPLL - 1 V for a good S/N performance.
