GENERAL COMMANDS |
RAMP_EN |
0 = Disabled
1 = Enabled |
RAMP_EN must be 1 for any ramping functions to work. |
RAMP_MANUAL |
0 = Automatic ramping mode
1 = Manual pin ramping mode |
In automatic ramping mode, the ramping is automatic and the clock is based on the phase detector. In manual pin ramping mode, the clock is based on rising edges on the RampClk pin. |
RAMPx_INC |
0 to 230 – 1 |
This is the amount the fractional numerator is increased for each phase detector cycle in the ramp. |
RAMPx_DLY |
0 to 65535 |
This is the length of the ramp in phase detector cycles. |
DEALING WITH VCO CALIBRATION |
RAMP_THRESH |
0 to ± 233 – 1 |
Whenever the fractional numerator changes this much (either positive or negative) because the VCO was last calibrated, the VCO is forced to recalibrate. |
RAMP_TRIG_CAL |
0 = Disabled
1 = Enabled |
When enabled, the VCO is forced to recalibrate at the beginning each ramp. |
PLL_DEN |
4294967295 |
In ramping mode, the denominator must be fixed to this forced value of 232 – 1. However, the effective denominator in ramping mode is 224. |
LD_DLY |
0 |
This must be zero to avoid interfering with calibration. |
RAMP LIMITS |
RAMP_LIMIT_LOW
RAMP_LIMIT_HIGH |
0 to ± 233 – 1 |
2’s complement of the total value of the ramp low and high limits can never go beyond. If this value is exceeded, then the frequency is limited. |
