PRODUCTION DATA
The total N-divider value is determined by Ninteger + NUM / DEN. The N-divider includes fractional compensation and can achieve any fractional denominator (DEN) from 1 to 16,777,215 (224 – 1). The integer portion, Ninteger, is the whole part of the N-divider value and the fractional portion, Nfrac = NUM / DEN, is the remaining fraction. Ninteger, NUM and DEN are programmable.
The order of the delta sigma modulator is also programmable from integer mode to fourth order. There are several dithering modes that are also programmable. Dithering is used to reduce fractional spurs. In order to make the fractional spurs consistent, the modulator is reset any time that the R0 register is programmed.
