LMX2470 2.6 GHz Delta-Sigma Fractional-N PLL with 800 MHz Integer-N PLL  
Check for Samples: LMX2470  
1
FEATURES  
DESCRIPTION  
The LMX2470 is a low power, high performance  
delta-sigma fractional-N PLL with an auxiliary integer-  
N PLL. The device is fabricated using TI’s advanced  
BiCMOS process.  
2
Low In-Band Phase Noise and Low Fractional  
Spurs  
12 Bit or 22 Bit Selectable Fractional Modulus  
Up to 4th Order Programmable Delta-Sigma  
Modulator  
With delta-sigma architecture, fractional spur  
compensation is achieved with noise shaping  
capability of the delta-sigma modulator and the  
inherent low pass filtering of the PLL loop filter.  
Fractional spurs at lower frequencies are pushed to  
higher frequencies outside the loop bandwidth. Unlike  
analog compensation, the digital feedback techniques  
used in the LMX2470 are highly resistant to changes  
in temperature and variations in wafer processing.  
With delta-sigma architecture, the ability to push  
close in spur and phase noise energy to higher  
frequencies is a direct function of the modulator  
order. The higher the order, the more this energy can  
be spread to higher frequencies. The LMX2470 has a  
programmable modulator up to order four, which  
allows the designer to select the optimum modulator  
order to fit the phase noise, spur, and lock time  
requirements of the system.

BENCH TEST SETUPS  
Charge Pump Current Measurement Procedure  
The above block diagram shows the test procedure for testing the RF and IF charge pumps. These tests include  
absolute current level, mismatch, and leakage. In order to measure the charge pump currents, a signal is applied  
to the high frequency input pins. The reason for this is to ensure that the phase detector gets enough transitions  
in order to be able to change states. If no signal is applied, it is possible that the charge pump current reading  
will be low due to the fact that the duty cycle is not 100%. The OSCin Pin is tied to the supply. The charge pump  
currents can be measured by simply programming the phase detector to the necessary polarity. For instance, in  
order to measure the RF charge pump current, a 10 MHz signal is applied to the FinRF pin. The source current  
can be measured by setting the RF PLL phase detector to a positive polarity, and the sink current can be  
measured by setting the phase detector to a negative polarity. The IF PLL currents can be measured in a similar  
way. Note that the magnitude of the RF and IF PLL charge pump currents are also controlled by the RF_CPG  
and IF_CPG bits. Once the charge pump currents are known, the mismatch can be calculated as well. In order to  
measure leakage currents, the charge pump current is set to a TRI-STATE mode by enabling the counter reset  
bits. This is RF_RST for the RF PLL and IF_RST for the IF PLL. The table below shows a summary of the  
various charge pump tests.

Sensitivity Measurement Procedure  
Sensitivity is defined as the power level limits beyond which the output of the counter being tested is off by 1 Hz  
or more of its expected value. It is typically measured over frequency, voltage, and temperature. In order to test  
sensitivity, the MUX[3:0] word is programmed to the appropriate value. The counter value is then programmed to  
a fixed value and a frequency counter is set to monitor the frequency of this pin. The expected frequency at the  
Ftest/LD pin should be the signal generator frequency divided by twice the corresponding counter value. The  
factor of two comes in because the LMX2470 has a flip-flop which divides this frequency by two to make the duty  
cycle 50% in order to make it easier to read with the frequency counter. The frequency counter input impedance  
should be set to high impedance. In order to perform the measurement, the temperature, frequency, and voltage  
is set to a fixed value and the power level of the signal is varied. Note that the power level at the part is assumed  
to be 4 dB less than the signal generator power level. This accounts for 1 dB for cable losses and 3 dB for the  
pad. The power level range where the frequency is correct at the Ftest/LD pin to within 1 Hz accuracy is  
recorded for the sensitivity limits. The temperature, frequency, and voltage can be varied in order to produce a  
family of sensitivity curves. Since this is an open-loop test, the charge pump is set to TRI-STATE and the unused  
side of the PLL (RF or IF) is powered down when not being tested. For this part, there are actually four frequency  
input pins, although there is only one frequency test pin (Ftest/LD). The conditions specific to each pin are show  
above.

Input Impedance Measurement Procedure  
The above block diagram shows the test procedure measuring the input impedance for the LMX2470. This  
applies to the FinRF, FinIF, and OSCin pins. The basic test procedure is to calibrate the network analyzer,  
ensure that the part is powered up, and then measure the input impedance. The network analyzer can be  
calibrated by using either calibration standards or by soldering resistors directly to the evaluation board. An open  
can be implemented by putting no resistor, a short can be implemented by using a 0 ohm resistor, and a short  
can be implemented by using two 100 ohm resistors in parallel. Note that no DC blocking capacitor is used for  
this test procedure. This is done with the PLL removed from the PCB. This requires the use of a clamp down  
fixture that may not always be generally available. If no clamp down fixture is available, then this procedure can  
be done by calibrating up to the point where the DC blocking capacitor usually is, and then adding a 0 ohm  
resistor back for the actual measurement. Once that the network analyzer is calibrated, it is necessary to ensure  
that the PLL is powered up. This can be done by toggling the power down bits (RF_PD and IF_PD) and  
observing that the current consumption indeed increases when the bit is disabled. Sometimes it may be  
necessary to apply a signal to the OSCin pin in order to program the part. If this is necessary, disconnect the  
signal once it is established that the part is powered up. It is useful to know the input impedance of the PLL for  
the purposes of debugging RF problems and designing matching networks. Another use of knowing this  
parameter is make the trace width on the PCB such that the input impedance of this trace matches the real part  
of the input impedance of the PLL frequency of operation. In general, it is good practice to keep trace lengths  
short and make designs that are relatively resistant to variations in the input impedance of the PLL.  
Functional Description  
GENERAL  
The basic phase-lock-loop (PLL) configuration consists of a high-stability crystal reference oscillator, a frequency  
synthesizer such as the TI LMX2470, a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), and a passive loop filter. The  
frequency synthesizer includes a phase detector, current mode charge pump, as well as programmable  
reference [R] and feedback [N] frequency dividers. The VCO frequency is established by dividing the crystal  
reference signal down via the R counter to obtain a frequency that sets the comparison frequency. This  
comparison frequency, fCOMP, is input of a phase/frequency detector and compared with another signal, fN, the  
feedback signal, which was obtained by dividing the VCO frequency down by way of the N counter and fractional  
circuitry. The phase/frequency detector's current source outputs a charge into the loop filter, which is then  
converted into the VCO's control voltage. The function of the phase/frequency comparator is to adjust the voltage  
presented to the VCO until the frequency and phase of the feedback signal match that of the reference signal.  
When this ‘phase-locked’ condition exists, the VCO frequency will be N+F times that of the comparison  
frequency, where N is the integer component of the divide ratio and F is the fractional component. Fractional  
synthesis allows the phase detector frequency to be increased while maintaining the same frequency step size  
for channel selection. The division value N is thereby reduced giving a lower phase noise referred to the phase  
detector input, and the comparison frequency is increased allowing faster switching times.

PHASE DETECTOR OPERATING FREQUENCY  
The maximum phase detector operating frequency for the LMX2470 is 30 MHz. However, this is not possible in  
all circumstances due to illegal divide ratios of the N counter. The crystal reference frequency also limits the  
phase detector frequency. There are trade-offs in choosing what phase detector frequency to operate at. If this  
frequency is run higher, then phase noise will be lower, but lock time may be increased due to cycle slipping.  
After this phase detector frequency gets sufficiently high, then there are diminishing returns for phase noise, and  
raising the charge pump current has a greater impact on phase noise. This phase detector frequency also has an  
impact on fractional spurs. In general, the spur performance is better at higher phase detector frequencies,  
although this is application specific. The current consumption may also slightly increase with higher phase  
detector frequencies.  
OSCILLATOR  
The LMX2470 provides maximum flexibility for choosing an oscillator reference. One possible method is to use a  
single-ended TCXO to drive the OSCin pin. The part can also be configured to be driven differentially using the  
OSCin and OSCout* pins. Note that the OSCin and OSCout* pins can not be used as an inverter for a crystal.  
Selection between these two modes does have a noticeable impact on phase noise and sub-fractional spurs.  
Regardless of which mode is used, the performance is generally best for higher oscillator power levels.  
POWER DOWN AND POWER UP MODES  
The power down state of the LMX2470 is controlled by many factors. The one factor that overrides all other  
factors is the EN pin. If this pin is low, this ensures the part will be powered down. Asserting a high logic level on  
EN is necessary to power up the chip, however, there are other bits in the programming registers that can  
override this and put the PLL back in a power down state. Provided that the voltage on the EN pin is high,  
programming the RF_PD and IF_PD bits to zero ensures that the part will be powered up. Programming either  
one of these bits to one will power down the appropriate section of the synthesizer, provided that the ATPU[1:0]  
(Auto Power Up) bits do not override this.  
There are many different ways to power down this chip and many different things that can be powered down.  
This section discusses how to power down the PLLs on the chip. There are two terms that need to be defined  
first: synchronous power down and asynchronous power down. In the case of synchronous power down, the PLL  
chip powers down after the charge pump turns off. This is best to prevent unwanted frequency glitches upon  
power up. However, in certain cases where the charge pump is stuck on, such as the case when there is no  
VCO signal applied, this type of power down will not reliably work and asynchronous power down is necessary.  
In the case of asynchronous power down, the PLL powers down regardless of the status of the charge pump.  
There are 4 factors that affect the power down state of the chip: the EN pin, the power down bit, the TRI-STATE  
bit, and writing to the RF N counter with the RF_ATPU[1:0] bits enabled

DIGITAL LOCK DETECT OPERATION  
The RF PLL digital lock detect circuitry compares the difference between the phase of the inputs of the phase  
detector to a RC generated delay of 10 nS. To enter the locked state (Lock = HIGH) the phase error must be  
less than the 10nS RC delay for 5 consecutive reference cycles. Once in lock (Lock = HIGH), the RC delay is  
changed to approximately 20nS. To exit the locked state (Lock = LOW), the phase error must become greater  
than the 20nS RC delay. When the PLL is in the power down mode, Lock is forced LOW. For the RF PLL, the  
digital lock detect circuitry does not function reliably for comparison frequencies above 20 MHz.  
The IF PLL digital lock detect circuitry works in a very similar way as the RF PLL digitial lock circuitry, except that  
it uses a delay of less than 15 nS for 5 reference cycles to determine a locked condition and a delay of greater  
than 30 nS to determine the IF PLL is unlocked. Note that if the MUX[3:0] word is set such as to view lock detect  
for both PLLs, an unlocked (LOW) condition is shown whenever either one of the PLLs is determined to be out of  
lock. A flow chart of the IF digital lock detect circuitry is shown below.  
PCB LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS  
Power Supply Pins For these pins, it is recommended that these be filtered by taking a series 18 ohm resistor  
and then placing two capacitors shunt to ground, thus creating a low pass filter. Although it makes sense to use  
large capacitor values in theory, the ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) is greater for larger capacitors. For  
optimal filtering minimize the sum of the ESR and theoretical impedance of the capacitor. It is therefore  
recommended to provide two capacitors of very different sizes for the best filtering. 0.1 µF and 100 pF are typical  
values. The charge pump supply pins in particular are vuvulnerablenerable to power supply noise.

High Frequency Input Pins, FinRF and FinIF The signal path from the VCO to the PLL is the most sensitive  
and challenging for board layout. It is generally recommended that the VCO output go through a resistive pad  
and then through a DC blocking capacitor before it gets to these high frequency input pins. If the trace length is  
sufficiently short (< 1/10th of a wavelength), then the pad may not be necessary, but a series resistor of about 39  
ohms is still recommended to isolate the PLL from the VCO. The DC blocking capacitor should be chosen at  
least to be 100 pF. It may turn out that the frequency in this trace is above the self-resonant frequency of the  
capacitor, but since the input impedance of the PLL tends to be capacitive, it actually be a benefit to exceed the  
self-resonant frequency. The pad and the DC blocking capacitor should be placed as close to the PLL as  
possible  
Complimentary High Frequency Pin, FinRF* These inputs may be used to drive the PLL differentially, but it is  
very common to drive the PLL in a single ended fashion. A shunt capacitor should be placed at the FinRF* pin.  
The value of this capacitor should be chosen such that the impedance, including the ESR of the capacitor, is as  
close to an AC short as possible at the operating frequency of the PLL. 100 pF is a typical value.  
FASTLOCK AND CYCLE SLIP REDUCTION  
The LMX2470 has enhanced features for Fastlock and cycle slip operation. The next several sections discuss  
the the benefits of using both of these features. There are four possible combinations that are possible, and  
these are shown in the table below:  
Decrease Comparison  
Keep Comparison  
Frequency the Same  
Charge Pump Current  
Frequency (CSR)  
(RF Side Only)  
Increase Charge Pump Current  
Classical Fastlock  
CSR/Fastlock Combination  
Allows the loop bandwidth to be increased.  
This has a frequency glitch caused by  
switching the charge pump currents, but  
there is no frequency glitch caused by  
switching from fractional to integer mode  
Engaging the CSR does decrease the loop  
bandwidth during frequency acquisition, but  
may be necessary to reduce cycle slipping.  
By also increasing the charge pump current,  
this can compensate for the reduce loop  
bandwidth due to the CSR  
Keep Charge Pump Current the Same  
Decrease Charge Pump Current  
Operation with No Fastlock  
This mode represents using no Fastlock  
CSR Only  
This mode is not generally recommended,  
but may reduce cycle slipping in some  
applications. Although the theoretical lock  
time is decreased, due to the decreased loop  
bandwidth during Fastlock, cycle slips can be  
reduced or eliminated.  
It never makes sense to use a lower charge  
pump current during Fastlock than in the  
steady state.  
Note that if the charge pump current and cycle slip reduction circuitry are engaged in the same proportion, then it  
is not necessary to switch in a Fastlock resistor and the loop filter will be optimized for both normal mode and  
Fastlock mode. For third and fourth order filters which have problems with cycle slipping, this may prove to be  
the optimal choice of settings.  
Determining the Loop Gain Multiplier, K  
The loop bandwidth multiplier, K, is needed in order to determine the theoretical impact of fastlock/CSR on the  
loop bandwidth and also which resistor should be switched in parallel with the loop filter resistor R2. K = K_K ·  
K_Fcomp where K is the loop gain multiplier K_K is the ratio of the Fastlock charge pump current to the steady  
state charge pump current. Note that this should always be greater than or equal to one. K_Fcomp is the ratio of  
the Fastlock comparison frequency to the steady state comparison frequency. If this ratio is less than one, this  
implies that the CSR is being used.  
Determining the Theoretical Lock Time Improvement and Fastlock Resistor, R2’  
When using fastlock, it is necessary to switch in a resistor R2’, in parallel with R2 in order to keep the loop filter  
optimized and maintain the same phase margin. After the PLL has achieved a frequency that is sufficiently close  
to the desired frequency, the resistor R2’ is disengaged and the charge pump current is and comparison  
frequency are returned to normal. Of special concern is the glitch that is caused when the resistor R2’ is  
disengaged. This glitch can take up a significant portion of the lock time. The LMX2470 has enhanced switching  
circuitry to minimize this glitch and therefore improve the lock time.

The change in loop bandwidth is dependent upon the loop gain multiplier, K, as determined in Determining the  
Loop Gain Multiplier, K. The theoretical improvement in lock time is given below, but the actual improvement will  
be less than this due to the glitch that is caused by disengaging Fastlock. The theoretical improvement is given  
to show an upper bound on what improvement is possible with Fastlock. In the case that K < 1, this implies the  
CSR is being engaged and that the theoretical lock time will be degraded. However, since this mode reduces or  
eliminates cycle slipping, the actual lock time may be better in cases where the loop bandwidth is small relative  
to the comparison frequency. Realize that the theoretical lock time multiplier does not account for the  
fastlock/CSR disengagement glitch, which is most severe for larger values of K.

Using Fastlock and Cycle Slip Reduction (CSR) to Avoid Cycle Slipping  
In the case that the comparison frequency is very large (i.e. 100 X) of the loop bandwidth, cycle slipping may  
occur when an instantaneous phase error is presented to the phase detector. This can be reduced by increasing  
the loop bandwidth during frequency acquisition, decreasing the comparison frequency during frequency  
acquisition, or some combination of the these. If increasing the loop bandwidth during frequency acquisition is  
not sufficient to reduce cycle slipping, the LMX2470 also has a routine to decrease the comparison frequency.

The above table shows various combinations for using RF_CPG, RF_CPF, and CSR. Although this table does  
not show all possible combinations, it does show all the modes that give the best possible performance. To use  
this table, choose a CSR factor on the horizontal axis, then a fastlock loop bandwidth multiplier on the vertical  
axis, and the table will show all possible combinations of steady state current, Fastlock current, and what resistor  
value (R2’) to use during Fastlock. In order to better illustrate the cycle slipping and Fastlock circuitry, consider  
the following example:  
Crystal Reference  
Comparison Frequency  
Output Frequency  
10 MHz  
10 MHz × 2 = 20 MHz (OSC2X = 1)  
1930 – 1990 MHz  
PLL Loop Bandwidth  
Loop Filter Order  
10 KHz  
4th (i.e. 7 components)  
The comparison frequency is 20 MHz and the loop bandwidth is 10 KHz. 20 MHz is a good comparison  
frequency to use because it yields the best phase noise performance. This ratio of the comparison frequency to  
the loop bandwidth is 2000, so cycle slipping will occur and degrade the lock time, unless something is done to  
prevent it. Because the filter is fourth order, it would be difficult to keep the loop filter optimized if the loop gain  
multiplier, K was not one. For this reason, choosing a loop gain multiplier of one makes sense. One solution is to  
set the steady state current to be 100 µA, and the fastlock current to be 1600 µA. The CSR factor could be set to  
1/16 and reduce this ratio to 2000/16 = 125. However, using 100 µA charge pump current has phase noise that  
is significantly worse than the higher charge pump current modes. A better solution would be to use 200 µA  
current and 1600 µA X2 (using PDCP = X2 Fastlock), since the 200 µA mode will have better phase noise.  
Depending on how important phase noise is, it could make sense to use a higher steady state current. Using 800  
µA steady state current provides much better phase noise than 200 uA (about 5 dB), but then the cycle slip  
reduction factor would need to be reduced to 4. In general, it is good practice to use the PDCP = X2 fastlock  
mode whenever cycle slip reduction is used, so that the best phase noise can be achieved. If the ¼ CSR factor  
is used, then the ratio of comparison frequency to loop bandwidth in fastlock is reduced to 250. There may be  
some cycle slipping, but the phase noise benefit of using the higher charge pump current may be worth it. If  
phase noise is even more important, it might even make sense to have a steady state current of 1600 µA and  
use a CSR factor of ½ and the PDCP mode of X2 Fastlock. Another consideration is that the comparison  
frequency could be lowered in the steady state mode to reduce cycle slipping. This sacrifices phase noise for  
lock time. In general, using Fastlock and CSR is not the same for every application. There is a trade-off of lock  
time vs. phase noise. It might be tempting to try to achieve the best Fastlock benefit by using a K value of 32.  
Even if the loop filter could be kept well optimized in Fastlock, this hypothetical design would probably switch  
very fast when the Fastlock was engaged, but then when Fastlock is disengaged, a large frequency glitch would  
appear, and the majority of the lock time would consist of waiting for this glitch to settle out. Although this would  
definitely improve the lock time, even accounting for the glitch, the same result could probably be obtained by  
using a lower K value, like 8, and having better phase noise instead.  
Capacitor Dielectric Considerations for Lock Time  
The LMX2470 has a high fractional modulus and high charge pump gain for the lowest possible phase noise.  
One consideration is that the reduced N value and higher charge pump may cause the capacitors in the loop  
filter to become larger in value. For larger capacitor values, it is common to have a trade-off between capacitor  
dielectric quality and physical size. Using film capacitors or NP0/CG0 capacitors yields the best possible lock  
times, where as using X7R or Z5R capacitors can increase lock time by 0 – 500%. However, it is a general  
tendency that designs that use a higher compare frequency tend to be less sensitive to the effects of capacitor  
dielectrics. Although the use of lesser quality dielectric capacitors may be unavoidable in many circumstances,  
allowing a larger footprint for the loop filter capacitors, using a lower charge pump current, and reducing the  
fractional modulus are all ways to reduce capacitor values. Capacitor dielectrics have very little impact on phase  
noise and spurs.  
FRACTIONAL SPUR AND PHASE NOISE CONTROLS FOR THE LMX2470  
The LMX2470 has several bits that have a large impact on fractional spurs. These bits also have a lesser effect  
on phase noise. The control words in question are CPUD[2:0], FM[1:0], and DITH[1:0]. It is difficult to predict  
which settings will be optimal for a particular application without testing them, but the general recipe for using  
these bits can be seen.

A good algorithm is to start with a 3rd order fractional modulator (FM=3) and dithering disabled. Then depending  
on whether phase noise, fractional spurs, or sub-fractional spurs are most important, optimize the settings.  
Integer spurs and fractional spurs are nothing new, but sub-fractional spurs are something unique to delta-sigma  
PLLs. These are spurs that occur at a fraction of the frequency of where a fractional spur would appear.  
First adjust the delta-sigma modulator order. Often increasing from a 2nd to a 3rd order modulator provides a  
large benefit in spur levels. Increasing from a 3rd to a 4th order modulator usually provides some benefit, but it is  
usually on the order of a few dB. The modulator order by far has the greatest impact on the main fractional  
spurs. If the loop bandwidth is very wide, or the loop filter order is not high enough, higher order modulators will  
introduce a lot of sub-fractional spurs. The second order modulator usually does not have these sub-fractional  
spurs. The third order modulator will introduce them at ½ of the frequency where one would expect to see a  
traditional fractional spur, thus the name "sub-fractional spur". The fourth order modulator will introduce these  
spurs at ½ and ¼ of where a traditional fractional spur would be. If the benefit of using a higher order modulator  
seems significant enough, it may make sense to try to compensate for them using the other two test bits, or  
designing a higher order loop filter. Be aware that the impact of the modulator order on the spurs may not be  
consistent across tuning voltage. When the charge pump mismatch is not so bad, the lower order modulators  
may seem to outperform the higher order modulators, but when the worst case fractional spurs are considered  
over the whole range, often the higher order modulator performs better.  
Second, adjust with the CPUD[2:0] bits. Setting this bit to maximum tends to reduce the sub-fractional spurs the  
most, however, it may degrade phase noise by up to 1 dB.  
Third, experiment with the dithering. When dithering is enabled, it may increase phase noise by up to 2 dB.  
However, enabling dithering may also reduce the sub-fractional spurs. Also, sometimes both the fractional spurs  
and the sub-fractional spurs can be unpredictable with dithering disabled. This is because the delta-sigma  
sequence is periodic, but the starting point changes. Dithering takes these problems away. When the fractional  
numerator is 0, enabling dithering typically hurts spur performance, because it is trying to correct for spur that are  
not there.  
Fourth, consider experimenting with the loop filter order and comparison frequency. In general, higher order loop  
filters are always better, but they require more components. Often, the best spur performance is at higher  
comparison frequencies as well. The reason why this is the last step is not because it has the least impact, but  
because it takes more labor to do this than to change the FM[1:0], CPUD[2:0], and DITH[1:0] bits.  
Although general trends do exist, the optimal settings for test bits may depend on the comparison frequency and  
loop filter. Also the output frequency in important. In particular, the charge pump tuning voltage is relevant. The  
recommended way to do this is to test the spur levels at the low, middle, and high range of the VCO, and use the  
worst case over these three frequencies as a metric for performance. Also, it is important to be aware that all the  
rules stated above have counterexamples and exceptions. However, more often than not, these rules apply.  
Programming Description  
GENERAL PROGRAMMING INFORMATION  
The descriptions below describe the 24-bit data registers loaded through the MICROWIRE Interface. These data  
registers are used to program the R counter, the N counter, and the internal mode control latches. The data  
format of a typical 24-bit data register is shown below. The control bits CTL [3:0] decode the register address. On  
the rising edge of LE, data stored in the shift register is loaded into one of the appropriate latches (selected by  
address bits). Data is shifted in MSB first. Note that it is best to program the N counter last, since doing so  
initializes the digital lock detector and Fastlock circuitry. Note that initialize means it resets the counters, but it  
does NOT program values into these registers. Upon a cold power-up, it is necessary to program all the  
registers. The exception is when 22-bit is not being used. In this case, it is not necessary to program the R7  
register.

Control Register Content Map  
Because the LMX2470 registers are complicated, they are organized into two groups, basic and advanced. The first four registers are basic registers that  
contain critical information necessary for the PLL to achieve lock. The last 5 registers are for features that optimize spur, phase noise, and lock time  
performance. The next page shows these registers.  
Quick Start Register Map  
Although it is highly recommended that the user eventually take advantage of all the modes of the LMX2470, the quick start register map is shown in order for the user to get the part up and  
running quickly using only those bits critical for basic functionality. The following default conditions for this programming state are a third order delta-sigma modulator in 22-bit mode with no  
dithering and no Fastlock.

The RF N counter contains a 16/17/20/21 prescaler. Because there is only one selection of prescaler, the value  
that is programmed is simply the N counter value converted into binary form. However, because this counter  
does have a prescaler, there are limitations on the divider values.

RF_PD -- RF Power Down Control Bit  
When this bit is set to 0, the RF PLL operates normally. When it is set to one, the RF PLL is powered down and  
the RF Charge pump is set to a TRI-STATE mode. Because the EN pin and ATPU[1:0] word also controls power  
down functions, there may be some conflicts. The order of precedence is as follows. First, if the EN pin is LOW,  
then the PLL will be powered down. Provided this is not the case, the PLL will be powered up if the ATPU[1:0]  
word says to do so, regardless of the state of the RF_PD bit. After the EN pin and the ATPU[1:0] word are  
considered, then the RF_PD bit then takes control of the power down function for the RF PLL.

IF_N[16:0] -- IF N Divider Value  
The IF N divider is a classical dual modulus prescaler with a selectable 8/9 or 16/17 modulus. The IF_N value is  
determined by the IF_A , IF_B, and IF_P values. Note that the IF_P word can assume a value of 8 or 16. The  
RF_A and RF_B counter values can be determined in accordance with the following equations.  
B = N div P  
A = N mod P  
BA is required in order to have a legal N divider ratio  
Here the div operator is defined as the division of two numbers with the remainder disregarded and the mod  
operator is defined as the remainder as a result of this division. For the purposes of programming, it turns out  
that the register value is just the binary representation of the N value, with the exception that the 4th LSB is not  
used and must be programmed to 0 when the 8/9 prescaler is used.

down state is synchronous and will not occur until the charge pump is off. If the IF_CPT bit is set to 1, then the  
power down will occur immediately regardless of the state of the IF PLL charge pump.

RF_TOC -- RF Time Out Counter and Control for FLoutRF Pin  
The RF_TOC[13:0] word controls the operation of the RF Fastlock circuitry as well as the function of the  
FLoutRF output pin. When this word is set to a value between 0 and 3, the RF Fastlock circuitry is disabled and  
the FLoutRF pin operates as a general purpose CMOS TRI-STATE I/O. When RF_TOC is set to a value  
between 4 and 16383, the RF Fastlock mode is enabled and the FLoutRF pin is utilized as the RF Fastlock  
output pin. The value programmed into the RF_TOC[13:0] word represents four times the number of phase  
detector comparison cycles the RF synthesizer will spend in the Fastlock state.

OSC -- Differential Oscillator Mode Enable  
This bit selects between single-ended and differential mode for the OSCin and OSCout* pins. When this bit is set  
to 0, the RF R and IF R counters are driven in a single-ended fashion through the OSCin pin. Note that the  
OSCin and OSCout* pin can not be used to drive a crystal. When this bit is set to 1, the OSCin and OSCout*  
pins are used to drive these R counters differentially. In some cases, spur performance may be better when this  
is set to differential mode, even if the R counters are being driven in a single-ended fashion. Current  
consumption in differential mode is slightly higher than when in single-ended mode.  
OSC2X -- Oscillator Doubler Enable  
When this bit is set to 0, the oscillator doubler is disabled TCXO frequency presented to the IF R counter is  
unaffected. Phase noise added by the doulber is negligible.

FM[1:0] -- Fractional Mode  
Determines the order of the delta-sigma modulator. Higher order delta-sigma modulators reduce the spur levels  
closer to the carrier by pushing this noise to higher frequency offsets from the carrier. In general, the order of the  
loop filter should be at least one greater than the order of the delta-sigma modulator in order to allow for  
sufficient roll-off.

FDM -- Fractional Denominator Mode  
When this bit is set to 0, the part operates with a 12- bit fractional denominator. For most applications, 12-bit  
mode should be adequate, but for those applications requiring ultra fine tuning resolution, there is 22-bit mode.  
Note that the PLL may consume slightly more current when it is in 22-bit mode.

The R8 Register controls some additional bits that may be useful in optimizing phase noise, lock time, and spurs.  
CPUD[2:0] -- Charge Pump User Definition  
This bit allows the user to choose from several different modes in the charge pump. The charge pump current is  
unaffected, but the fractional spurs and phase noise are impacted by a few dB. In some designs, particularly if  
the loop bandwidth is wide and a 4th order delta-sigma engine is used, small spurs may appear at a fraction of  
where the first fractional spur should appear. In other designs, these sub-fractional spurs are not present. The  
user needs to use this adjustment to make these sub-fractional spurs go away, while still getting the best phase  
noise possible.

DITH[1:0] -- Dithering Control  
Dithering is a technique used to spread out the spur energy. Enabling dithering can reduce the main fractional  
spurs, but can also give rise to a family of smaller spurs. Whether dithering helps or hurts is application specific.  
Enabling the dithering may also increase the phase noise. In most cases where the fractional numerator is zero,  
dithering usually degrades performance.  
Determining tends to be most beneficial in applications where there is insufficient filtering of the spurs. This often  
occurs when the loop bandwidth is very wide or a higher order delta-sigma modulator is used. Dithering tends  
not to impact the main fractional spurs much, but has a much larger inpact on the sub-fractional spurs. If it is  
decided that dithering will be used, best results will be obtained when the fractional denominator is at least 1000.
