2.0 Programming Description
2.3.3 12-BIT Programmable Counter Divide Ratio (Aux B COUNTER)
Note 10: Divide ratio: 3 to 4,095 (Divide ratios less than 3 are prohibited)
2.3.4 MAIN_N Register
If the Control Bits (CTL[1:0]) are 1 1 when LE transitions high, data is transferred from the 18-bit shift register into the MAIN_N
register latch which sets 16-bit programmable N divider value. The Main N divider is a 16-bit counter which is fully programmable
from 992 to 65,535 for 2 GHz option and from 240 to 65,535 for 1.1 GHz option. The MAIN_N register consists of the 5-bit (2 GHz
option) or 4-bit (1.1 GHz option) swallow counter (MAIN_A_CNTR) and the 11-bit (2 GHz option) or 12-bit (1.1 GHz option)
programmable counter (MAIN_B_CNTR). Serial data format for the MAIN_N register latch shown below. The divide ratio must be
≥ 992 (2 GHz option) or
MAIN _A_CNTR and MAIN_B_CNTR as shown in tables 2.3.5 and 2.3.6 The pulse swallow function which determines the divide
ratio is described in Section 2.3.7.
2.3.5 Swallow Counter Divide Ratio (Main A COUNTER)
Note 11: Swallow Counter Value: 0 to 31
AUX_B_CNTR ≥ AUX_A_CNTR.
See section 2.3.7 for calculation of VCO output frequency.
