1
RSET
Connecting a resistor between this pin and CPGND sets the maximum charge pump output current. The
nominal voltage potential at the RSET pin is 0.66 V. The relationship between ICP and RSET is
23.5
ICP MAX
=
RSET
So, with RSET = 4.7 kΩ, ICP MAX = 5 mA.

CP
Charge Pump Output. When enabled, this provides
external VCO or VCXO.
ICP to the external loop filter which, in turn, drives the

RFINB
Charge Pump Ground. This is the ground return path for the charge pump.
Analog Ground. This is the ground return path of the prescaler.
Complementary Input to the N Counter. This point must be decoupled to the ground plane with a small
bypass capacitor, typically 100 pF. See Figure 3.

RFINA
AVDD
Input to the N Counter. This small signal input is ac-coupled to the external VCO or VCXO.
Analog Power Supply. This may range from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. Decoupling capacitors to the analog ground
plane should be placed as close as possible to this pin. AVDD must be the same value as DVDD.
8
REFIN
Reference Input. This is a CMOS input with a nominal threshold of VDD/2 and a dc equivalent input resis-
tance of 100 kΩ. See Figure 2. This input can be driven from a TTL or CMOS crystal oscillator or can be
ac-coupled.

Digital Ground
Chip Enable. A logic low on this pin powers down the device and puts the charge pump output into three-
state mode. Taking the pin high will power up the device, depending on the status of the power-down bit F2.

CLK
Serial Clock Input. This serial clock is used to clock in the serial data to the registers. The data is latched into
the 24-bit shift register on the CLK rising edge. This input is a high-impedance CMOS input.
Serial Data Input. The serial data is loaded MSB first with the two LSBs being the control bits. This input is
a high-impedance CMOS input.
Load Enable, CMOS Input. When LE goes high, the data stored in the shift registers is loaded into one of
the four latches, the latch being selected using the control bits.
This multiplexer output allows either the Lock Detect, the scaled RF, or the scaled Reference Frequency to
be accessed externally.

VP
Digital Power Supply. This may range from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. Decoupling capacitors to the digital ground plane
should be placed as close as possible to this pin. DVDD must be the same value as AVDD
.
Charge Pump Power Supply. This should be greater than or equal to VDD. In systems where VDD is 3 V, it
can be set to 5 V and used to drive a VCO or VCXO with a tuning range of up to 5 V.
