(1) For external VCO frequencies above 1.4 GHz, there are restrictions on the output divider and register R70 needs to be programmed to 0x046110.
(2) fOSCin = 19.44 MHz, MULT = 1, Prescaler = 4, fPD = 19.44 MHz, one RF output, output type = push pull, output power = –3 dBm
(3) fOSCin = 19.44 MHz, MULT = 1, Prescaler = 2, fPD = 19.44 MHz, one RF output, output type = push pull, output power = –3 dBm
(4) fOSCin = 19.44 MHz, MULT = 5, Prescaler = 2, fPD = 19.44 MHz, one RF output, output type = push pull, output power = –3 dBm
(5) fOSCin = 19.44 MHz, MULT = 5, Prescaler = 2, fPD = 97.2 MHz, one RF output, output type = push pull, output power = –3 dBm
(6) fOSCin = 19.44 MHz, MULT = 1, fPD = 19.44 MHz, output from VCO
(7) fOSCin = 19.44 MHz, MULT = 1, fPD = 19.44 MHz, one RF output, output type = push pull, output power = –3 dBm

(10) This is referring to the total base charge pump current. In PLL mode, this is equal to EXTVCO_CP_IDN + EXTVCO_CP_IUP. In synthesizer mode, this is equal to CP_IDN + CP_IUP. See
Table 6,
Table 7 and
Table 8 for details.
(11) Measured with a clean OSCin signal with a high slew rate using a wide loop bandwidth. The noise metrics model the PLL noise for an infinite loop bandwidth as:
PLL_Total = 10 * log[10(PLL_Flat / 10) + 10(PLL_Flicker / 10)]
PLL_Flat = PN1Hz + 20 * log(N) + 10 * log(fPD)
PLL_Flicker = PN10kHz – 10 * log(Offset / 10 kHz) + 20 * log(fOUT / 1 GHz)
(12) The VCO gain changes as a function of the VCO core and frequency. See
Integrated VCO for details.
(13) Not tested in production. Ensured by characterization. Allowable temperature drift refers to programming the device at an initial temperature and allowing this temperature to drift WITHOUT reprogramming the device, and still have the device stay in lock. This change could be up or down in temperature and the specification does not apply to temperatures that go outside the recommended operating temperatures of the device.
(14) The data showed here simply specifies the range of discrete FSK level that is supported in PIN mode. PIN mode supports 2-, 4- and 8-level of FSK modulation. If arbitrary level of FSK modulation is desired, use FSK SPI™ FAST mode or FSK I2S mode. See
Direct Digital FSK Modulation for details.
(15) The baud rate is limited by the loop bandwidth of the PLL loop. As a general rule of thumb, it is desirable to have the loop bandwidth at least twice the baud rate.

24, CHDIV1 = 5, CHDIV2 = 2, Prescaler = 2, FSK step value = 32716, 32819. The maximum achievable frequency deviation depends on the configuration, see
Direct Digital FSK Modulation for details.
