Programming the IF Reference Divider <B21:B12>
The IF phase detector’s reference input is an integer multiple of the frequency at the input of the REFin pin. The reference divider has 10
programmable bits, <B21:B12> for allowable divide ratios, R, from 4 to 1023 when the 3 bit binary SA counter (refer to section 2.5.1) is set to all
zeros. Table 10 lists the allowable R values.

Reset bit

→ Tsigrst : resets the sigma-delta modulator after each loading of an A-word.
( It is held in the reset state between the first and second falling edge of the RF divider output pulse
after STROBE has gone high at the end of the A-word. )

Programming the SA Counter <C2:C0>
The 3 bit SA register determines which of the 5 divider outputs (refer to table 11) is selected as the IF phase detector’s input (see Figure 5).

2.5.2
Programming the Reset Bits <B11>, <C3>
The reset bits offer extra flexibility. The default value for bits <B11>, <C3> are all zeros. Bit <B11> disables the IF reference divider and allows
for extra savings of approximately 200
A when set to ‘1’. However, this bit must initially be set to ‘0’ during any power-up sequence. The RF
phase detector is activated after a delay of four edges of the reference divider output clock. Bit <C3> resets the sigma-delta modulator after
each loading of an A-word. It is held in the reset state between the first and second falling edge of the RF divider output pulse after STROBE
has gone high at the end of the A-word.
