NOISE CHARACTERISTICS
In-Band Phase Noise of the Charge
Pump/Phase Frequency Detector
(In-Band Is Within the LBW of the PLL)
The PLL in-band phase noise floor is estimated by
measuring the in-band phase noise at the output of
the VCO and subtracting 20 log(N) (where N is the
value of the N divider)
At 500 kHz PFD Frequency
At 1 MHz PFD Frequency
At 10 MHz PFD Frequency
At 50 MHz PFD Frequency

Reference slew rate > 0.25 V/ns; FOM + 10 log(fPFD) is
an approximation of the PFD/CP in-band phase noise
(in the flat region) inside the PLL loop bandwidth; when
running closed-loop, the phase noise, as observed at
the VCO output, is increased by 20 log(N)

REFIN
The REFIN and
self-bias points are offset slightly to avoid chatter on an open input condition.
2 For reliable operation of the digital lock detect, the period of the PFD frequency must be greater than the unlock-after-lock time.
