Functional Description
Programmable Input Frequency Divider
The VCO input to the FIN pin is divided by the programmable divider and then internally
output to the phase/frequency detector (PFD) as f
V. The programmable input frequency
divider consists of a ÷ 64/65 (P/P+1) dual-modulus prescaler in prior to a 18-bit (N)
counter, which is further comprised of a 6-bit swallow (A) counter, and a 12-bit main (B)
counter. The total divide ratio, N, is related to values for P, A, and B through the relation
with
The minimum available programmable divisor for continuous counting is
given by
and the valid total divide ratio range for the
input divider is
Take N=10000 for example, since P=64 and hence that B=156 and A=16. Therefore, the
binary codes of B and A should be 0000 1001 1100 and 010000, respectively. An alterna-
tive approach is to translate the decimal N into binary code directly. And then just take the
last 6-bit as A and the remaining 12-bit as B. By far the binary code of N=10000 is
00 0010 0111 0001 0000. One can get the same result as the former method.
Programmable Reference Frequency Divider
The crystal oscillator output is divided by the programmable divider and then internally
output to the PFD as f
R. The programmable reference frequency divider consists of a fixed
÷ 8 (S) prescaler and a 13-bit reference (R) counter. The total divide ratio, T, is related to
values for S and R through the relation
The usable divisior range of the reference counter is
and therefore, the
valid total divide ratio range for the reference divider is
(in steps of
8.)
