NOTES
1. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE EXPOSED PAD
BE THERMALLY CONNECTED TO A COPPER PLANE
FOR ENHANCED THERMAL PERFORMANCE. THE PAD
SHOULD BE GROUNDED AS WELL.

Description
CPRF
3
1
RF Charge Pump Output. When enabled, this provides ±ICP to the external RF loop filter, which in turn
drives the external RF VCO.
DGNDRF
4
2
Digital Ground Pin for the RF Digital Circuitry.
RFIN
5
3
Input to the RF Prescaler. This small signal input is normally ac-coupled from the RF VCO.
AGNDRF
6
4
Ground Pin for the RF Analog Circuitry.
FLO
7
5
Multiplexed Output of RF/IF Programmable or Reference Dividers, RF/IF Fastlock Mode. CMOS output.
REFIN
8
6
Reference Input. This is a CMOS input with a nominal threshold of VDD/2 and an equivalent input
resistance of 100 kΩ. S
ee Figure 26. This input can be driven from a TTL or CMOS crystal oscillator, or can
be ac-coupled.
DGNDIF
9, 17
7, 15
Digital Ground Pin for the IF Digital, Interface, and Control Circuitry.
MUXOUT
10
8
This multiplexer output allows either the IF/RF lock detect, the scaled RF, the scaled IF, or the scaled
reference frequency to be accessed externally.
CLK
11
9
Serial Clock Input. This serial clock is used to clock in the serial data to the registers. The data is latched
into the 24-bit shift register on the CLK rising edge. This input is a high impedance CMOS input.
DATA
12
10
Serial Data Input. The serial data is loaded MSB first with the two LSBs being the control bits. This input is
a high impedance CMOS input.
LE
13
11
Load Enable, CMOS Input. When LE goes high, the data stored in the shift registers is loaded into one of
the four latches, with the latch selected using the control bits.
RSET
14
12
Connecting a resistor between this pin and ground sets the maximum RF and IF charge pump output
current. The nominal voltage potential at the RSET pin is 0.66 V. The relationship between ICP and RSET is,
therefore,
SET
MAX
CP
R
I
13.5
where RSET = 2.7 kΩ and ICP MAX = 5 mA for both the RF and IF charge pumps.
AGNDIF
15
13
Ground Pin for the IF Analog Circuitry.
IFIN
16
14
Input to the IF Prescaler. This small signal input is normally ac-coupled from the IF VCO.
CPIF
18
16
Output from the IF Charge Pump. This is normally connected to a loop filter that drives the input to an
external VCO.
VP2
19
17
Power Supply for the IF Charge Pump. This should be greater than or equal to VDD2. In systems where
VDD2 is 3 V, it can be set to 5.5 V and used to drive a VCO with a tuning range up to 5.5 V.
