Hardware Power-Up/Power-Down
If the device is powered down via the hardware (using the CE
pin) and powered up again without any change to the N counter
register during power-down, the device locks at the correct
frequency because the device is already in the correct frequency
band. The lock time depends on the value of capacitance on the
C
N
pin, which is <5 ms for 10 µF capacitance. The smaller ca-
pacitance of 440 nF on this pin enables lock times of <600 µs.
The N counter value cannot be changed while the device is in
power-down, since the device may not lock to the correct fre-
quency on power-up. If it is updated, the correct programming
sequence for the device after power-up is to the R counter latch,
followed by the control latch, and finally the N counter latch,
with the required interval between the control latch and N
counter latch, as described in the Initial Power-Up section.
Software Power-Up/Power-Down
If the device is powered down via the software (using the con-
trol latch) and powered up again without any change to the N
counter latch during power-down, the device locks at the cor-
rect frequency because the device is already in the correct fre-
quency band. The lock time depends on the value of capaci-
tance on the C
N
pin, which is <5 ms for 10 µF capacitance. The
smaller capacitance of 440 nF on this pin enables lock times of
<600 µs.
The N counter value cannot be changed while the device is in
power-down because the device may not lock to the correct
frequency on power-up. If it is updated, the correct program-
ming sequence for the devices after power-up is to the R coun-
ter latch, followed by the control latch, and finally the N counter
latch, with the required interval between the control latch and
N counter latch, as described in the Initial Power-Up section.
