1.0 Functional Description
1.5.1 Phase Comparator and Internal Charge Pump Characteristics
1.6 CHARGE PUMPS
The charge pump directs charge into or out of an external
loop filter. The loop filter converts the charge into a stable
control voltage which is applied to the tuning input of the
VCO. The charge pump steers the VCO control voltage
towards Vcc during pump-up events and towards GND dur-
ing pump-down events. When locked, CPoutRF or CPoutIF
are primarily in a TRI-STATE mode with small corrections
occuring at the phase comparator rate. The charge pump
output current magnitude can be selected by toggling the
RF_CPG or IF_CPG control bits.
1.7 MICROWIRE SERIAL INTERFACE
The programmable register set is accessed via the MI-
CROWIRE serial interface. A low voltage logic interface
allows direct connection to 1.8V devices. The interface is
comprised of three signal pins: CLK, DATA and LE. Serial
data is clocked into the 24-bit shift register on the rising edge
of CLK. The last two bits decode the internal control register
address. When LE transitions HIGH, DATA stored in the shift
register is loaded into one of four control registers depending
on the state of the address bits. The MSB of DATA is loaded
in first. The synthesizers can be programmed even in power
down mode. A complete programming description is pro-
vided in Section 2.0 Programming Description.
1.8 MULTI-FUNCTION OUTPUTS
The LMX243x device’s Ftest/LD output pin is a multi-function
output that can be configured as a general purpose CMOS
TRI-STATE output, push-pull analog lock detect output,
open-drain analog lock detect output, digital filtered lock
detect output, or used to monitor the output of the various
reference divider (R counter) or feedback divider (N counter)
circuits. The Ftest/LD control word is used to select the
desired output function. When the PLL is in powerdown
mode, the Ftest/LD output is disabled and is in a high
impedance state. A complete programming description of the
multi-function output is provided in Section 2.10.

1.8.1 Push-Pull Analog Lock Detect Output
An analog lock detect status generated from the phase
detector is available on the Ftest/LD output pin if selected. A
push-pull configuration can be selected for the lock detect
output signal. With this configuration, the lock detect output
goes HIGH when the charge pump is inactive. It goes LOW
when the charge pump is active during a comparison cycle.
Narrow low going pulses are observed when the charge
pump turns on.
There are three separate push-pull analog lock detect sig-
nals that are routed to the multiplexer. Two of these monitor
the lock status of the individual synthesizers. The third de-
tects the condition when both the RF and IF synthesizers are
in a locked state. External circuitry is required to provide a
steady DC signal to indicate when the PLL is in a locked
state. Refer to Section 2.10 for details on how to program
the different push-pull analog lock detect options.
1.8.2 Open-Drain Analog Lock Detect Output
The lock detect output can be an open-drain configuration. In
this configuration, the lock detect output goes to a high
impedance state when the charge pump is inactive. It goes
LOW when the charge pump is active during a comparison
cycle. When a pull-up resistor is used, narrow low going
pulses are observed when the charge pump turns on.
Similarly, three separate open-drain analog lock detect sig-
nals are routed to the multiplexer. Two of these monitor the
lock status of the individual synthesizers. The third detects
the condition when both the RF and IF synthesizers are in a
locked state. External circuitry is required to provide a steady
DC signal to indicate when the PLL is in a locked state. Refer
to Section 2.10 for details on how to program the different
open-drain analog lock detect options.
