NOISE CHARACTERISTICS
In-Band Phase Noise of the
Charge Pump/
Phase Frequency Detect
or2The PLL in-band phase noise floor is estimated by
measuring the in-band phase noise at the output
of the VCO and subtracting 20 log(N) (where N is
the value of the N divider)

Reference slew rate > 0.5 V/ns; FOM + 10 log(fPFD) is
an approximation of the PFD/CP in-band phase
noise (in the flat region) inside the PLL loop
bandwidth; when running closed-loop, the phase
noise, as observed at the VCO output, is increased
by 20 log(N); PLL figure of merit decreases with
PLL DIGITAL LOCK DETECT WINDO

pins when selected by appropriate register
settings; the lock detect threshold varies linearly
with the value of the CPRSET resistor

1
The REFIN and REFIN self-bias points are offset slightly to avoid chatter on an open input condition.
2
In-band means within the LBW of the PLL.
3
For reliable operation of the digital lock detect, the period of the PFD frequency must be greater than the unlock-after-lock time.
