Detailed Description
Register Description
The MAX2120 includes 12 user-programmable registers
and 2 read-only registers. See Table 1 for register con-
figurations. The register configuration of Table 1 shows
each bit name and the bit usage information for all regis-
ters. Note that all registers must be written after and no
earlier than 100µs after the device is powered up.
BIT NAME BIT LOCATION (0 = LSB) DEFAULT FUNCTION
N[7:0] 7–0 10110110
Sets the least significant bits of the PLL integer-divide number (N).
Default value is N = 950 decimal. N can range from 16 to 2175.
