Required consecutive number of PFD cycles with edges inside lock detect window before the DLD indicates a locked
condition.

Digital lock detect
window
If the time difference of the rising edges at the inputs to the PFD is less than the lock detect window time, the digital lock
detect flag is set. The flag remains set until the time difference is greater than the loss-of-lock threshold.
0: high range (default).
1: low range.

0: normal lock detect operation (default).
1: disables lock detect.

VCO cal divider
VCO calibration divider. Divider used to generate the VCO calibration clock from the PLL reference clock.

8. This setting is fine for PFD frequencies < 50 MHz.

16 (default). This setting is fine for any PFD frequency but also results in the longest VCO calibration time.
0
VCO cal now
Bit used to initiate VCO calibration. This bit must be toggled from 0b to 1b in the active registers. To initiate calibration,
use the following three steps: first, ensure that the input reference signal is present; second, set to 0b (if not zero
already), followed by the update all registers bit (Register 0x232, Bit 0); and third, program to 1b, again followed by the
update all registers bit (Register 0x232, Bit 0). Clearing this bit discards the VCO calibration and usually results in the
PLL losing lock. The user must ensure that the holdover enable bits in Register 0x01D = 00b during VCO calibration.
