3.3 DIVIDER FROM V
CO
FREQUENCY TO
REFERENCE FREQUENCY
This divider provides a low frequency f
SYN
which
is phase compared with the reference frequency
f
REF
.
3.4 OPERATING MODE
Four operatingmodes are available:
- FM mode,
- AM swallow mode,
- AM direct mode,
- Standbymode
They are user programmable with the SWR/DIR
and AM/FM bits in the byte 2.
Standby mode: all functions are stopped. This al-
lowslow current consumption without lost of infor-
mation in all register,it is activatedby forcing bit 0
(AM/FM) and bit 1 (SWM/DIR) both at zero value.
3.4.1 FM and AM (SW) Operation (Swallow
Mode)
The FM or AM signal is applied to a four
modulus: 32/33/64/65 high speed prescaler,
which is controlled by a 6 bit divider ’A’.This
divider is controlled by the 6 bit SC register.
In parallel the output of the prescaler is con-
nected to a 8 bit divider ’B’. This divider is
controlled by the 8 bit PC register. For FM
mode with 25kHz reference frequency opera-
tion, the divider A is a 5 bit divider. The high
speed prescaler is working in : 32/33 dividing
mode. Bit 6 of the SC register has to be kept
to ”0”.

To keep the actual tuning frequency after a
modification of the reference frequency, the
values of the dividers have to be modified in
the following way.

The AM signal is directly applied to the 14 bit
static divider ’C’. This divider is controlled by
both SC and PC registers.
