the user according to the selected frequency band, whereas the three VCO_IB bits can be either forced by the user
or set automatically by the circuit which will select the combination having the best phase noise. This automatic
setting can be enabled by setting the three VCO_IB bits to ‘0’.
Table 2 lists the bias setting used for the different VCO_freq settings in automatic mode. When any of the VCO_IB
bit is set to 1, it will overrule the automatic setting.
The bias bits optimize the phase noise, and the frequency bits control a capacitor bank in the VCO. The tuning
range, the RF frequency versus varactor voltage, is dependent on the VCO frequency setting, and is shown in
Figure 3. When the tuning voltage is in the range from 1 to 1.6V, the VCO gain is at its maximum, approximately 65-
70 MHz/V. It is then recommended that the varactor voltage is kept as much as possible in this range.
The input capacitance at the varactor pin must be taken into considerations when designing the PLL loop filter. This
can be critical when designing a loop filter with high bandwidth, which gives relatively small component values. The
input capacitance is approximately 6 pF.
For test purposes, the VCO can be bypassed by applying a differential local oscillator (LO) signal to the device on
pin CPOUT and VARIN. A resistor of 18 k
proper biasing. The register bit VCO_by must be set to ‘1’.
