8.2.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

Again, we need to figure out all the frequencies in each functional block first.

Follow the previous example to determine all the necessary configurations. Table 8-10 is the summary in this example.

To enable external VCO operation, set the following bits:

Table 8-11 PLL Duplex Mode Register Settings Summary
CONFIGURATION PARAMETERREGISTER BITSSETTING
Charge pump polarityEXTVCO_CP_POL0 = Positive
External VCO charge pump gainEXTVCO_CP_GAIN1 = 1x
Base charge pump currentEXTVCO_CP_IUP8 = 1250 µA
EXTVCO_CP_IDN8 = 1250 µA
Select PLL mode operationEXTVCO_SEL_F1, EXTVCO_SEL_F21 = External VCO
CHDIV3 dividerEXTVCO_CHDIV_F1, EXTVCO_CHDIV_F20 = Bypass

Make sure that register R0, FCAL_EN is set so that FastLock is enabled.

The loop bandwidth had been design to be around 4 kHz, while phase margin is about 40 degrees.
