FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
latched and the M divider remains loaded until the next LOW
transition on nP_LOAD or until a serial event occurs.The TEST
output is Mode 000 (shift register out) when operating in the
parallel input mode.The relationship between theVCO frequency,
the crystal frequency and the M divider is defined as follows:
NOTE: The functional description that follows describes op-
eration using a 16MHz crystal. Valid PLL loop divider values
for different crystal or input frequencies are defined in the In-
put Frequency Characteristics, Table 6, NOTE 1.
The ICS84329 features a fully integrated PLL and therefore
requires no external components for setting the loop band-
width. A series-resonant, fundamental crystal is used as the
input to the on-chip oscillator. The output of the oscillator is
divided by 16 prior to the phase detector.With a 16MHz crys-
tal this provides a 1MHz reference frequency.The VCO of the
PLL operates over a range of 200MHz to 700MHz.The output
of the M divider is also applied to the phase detector.

The M value and the required values of M0 through M8 are
shown in Table 3B, Programmable VCO Frequency Function
Table. Valid M values for which the PLL will achieve lock are
defined as 200 ≤ M ≤ 511. The frequency out is defined as
follows:

The phase detector and the M divider force the VCO output fre-
quency to be M times the reference frequency by adjusting the
VCO control voltage. Note that for some values of M (either too
high or too low), the PLL will not achieve lock.The output of the
VCO is scaled by a divider prior to being sent to each of the
LVPECL output buffers.The divider provides a 50% output duty
cycle.

Serial operation occurs when nP_LOAD is HIGH and S_LOAD
is LOW. The shift register is loaded by sampling the S_DATA
bits with the rising edge of S_CLOCK. The contents of the
shift register are loaded into the M divider when S_LOAD tran-
sitions from LOW-to-HIGH.The M divide and N output divide
values are latched on the HIGH-to-LOW transition of S_LOAD.
If S_LOAD is held HIGH, data at the S_DATA input is passed
directly to the M divider on each rising edge of S_CLOCK.
The serial mode can be used to program the M and N bits and
test bitsT2:T0.The internal registers T2:T0 determine the state
of the TEST output as follows:
The programmable features of the ICS84329 support two input
modes to program the M divider and N output divider.The two
input operational modes are parallel and serial. Figure 1 shows
the timing diagram for each mode. In parallel mode the nP_LOAD
input is LOW.The data on inputs M0 through M8 and N0 through
N1 is passed directly to the M divider and N output divider. On
the LOW-to-HIGH transition of the nP_LOAD input, the data is
