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
25.5

with RSET = 5.1 kΩ, ICP MAX = 5 mA.

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

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 RF Prescaler. This point must be decoupled to the ground plane with a
small bypass capacitor, typically 100 pF. See Figure 12.

RFINA
AVDD
Input to the RF Prescaler. This small signal input is ac-coupled to the external VCO.
Analog Power Supply. This voltage may range from 3.2 V to 3.6 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.

REFIN
Reference Input. This is a CMOS input with a nominal threshold of VDD/2 and a dc equivalent input
resistance of 100 kΩ. See Figure 11. This input can be driven from a TTL or CMOS crystal oscillator or
it can be ac-coupled.

DGND
CE
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.

DATA
LE
Serial Data Input. The serial data is loaded MSB first with the 2 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.
Digital Power Supply. This may range from 3.2 V to 3.6 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 voltage should be greater than or equal to VDD. In systems where
VDD is 3.3 V, it can be set to 5 V and used to drive a VCO with a tuning range of up to 5 V.
