FUNCTION LATCH
The on-chip function latch is programmed with C2, C1 set to 1.
Table 9 shows the input data format for programming the
function latch.
Counter Reset
DB2 (F1) is the counter reset bit. When DB2 is 1, the R counter
and the AB counters are reset. For normal operation, this bit
should be 0. Upon powering up, the F1 bit must be disabled,
and the N counter resumes counting in “close” alignment with
the R counter. (The maximum error is one prescaler cycle.)
Power-Down
DB3 (PD1) and DB21 (PD2) on the ADF411x provide
program-mable power-down modes. They are enabled by the
CE pin.
When the CE pin is low, the device is immediately disabled
regardless of the states of PD2, PD1.
In the programmed asynchronous power-down, the device
powers down immediately after latching a 1 into Bit PD1,
provided PD2 has been loaded with a 0.
In the programmed synchronous power-down, the device
power-down is gated by the charge pump to prevent unwanted
frequency jumps. Once power-down is enabled by writing a 1
into Bit PD1 (provided a 1 has also been loaded to PD2), the
device goes into power-down on the next charge pump event.
When a power-down is activated (either synchronous or
asynchronous mode including CE pin activated power-down),
the following events occur:
All active dc current paths are removed.
The R, N, and timeout counters are forced to their load
state conditions.
The charge pump is forced into three-state mode.
The digital clock detect circuitry is reset.
The RFIN input is debiased.
The reference input buffer circuitry is disabled.
The input register remains active and capable of loading
and latching data.
MUXOUT Control
The on-chip multiplexer is controlled by M3, M2, and M1 on
the ADF4110 family. Table 9 shows the truth table.
Fastlock Enable Bit
DB9 of the function latch is the fastlock enable bit. Fastlock is
enables only when this is 1.
Fastlock Mode Bit
DB10 of the function latch is the fastlock enable bit. When
fastlock is enabled, this bit determines which fastlock mode is
used. If the fastlock mode bit is 0, fastlock mode 1 is selected; if
the fastlock mode bit is 1, fastlock mode 2 is selected.
Fastlock Mode 1
The charge pump current is switched to the contents of Current
Setting 2.
The device enters fastlock by having a 1 written to the CP gain
bit in the AB counter latch. The device exits fastlock by having a
0 written to the CP gain bit in the AB counter latch.
Fastlock Mode 2
The charge pump current is switched to the contents of Current
Setting 2. The device enters fastlock by having a 1 written to the
CP gain bit in the AB counter latch. The device exits fastlock
under the control of the timer counter. After the timeout period
determined by the value in TC4 through TC1, the CP gain bit in
the AB counter latch is automatically reset to 0 and the device
reverts to normal mode instead of fastlock. See Table 9 for the
timeout periods.
Timer Counter Control
The user has the option of programming two charge pump cur-
rents. Current Setting 1 is meant to be used when the RF output
is stable and the system is in a static state. Current Setting 2 is
meant to be used when the system is dynamic and in a state of
change (i.e., when a new output frequency is programmed).
The normal sequence of events is as follows:
The user initially decides what the preferred charge pump
currents are going to be. For example, they may choose 2.5 mA
as Current Setting 1 and 5 mA as Current Setting 2.
At the same time, they must also decide how long they want the
secondary current to stay active before reverting to the primary
current. This is controlled by the timer counter control bits,
DB14 through DB11 (TC4 through TC1) in the function latch.
The truth table is given in Table 10.
A user can program a new output frequency simply by pro-
gramming the AB counter latch with new values for A and B. At
the same time, the CP gain bit can be set to 1, which sets the
charge pump with the value in CPI6CPI4 for a period deter-
mined by TC4 through TC1. When this time is up, the charge
pump current reverts to the value set by CPI3CPI1. At the
same time, the CP gain bit in the AB counter latch is reset to 0
and is ready for the next time the user wishes to change the
frequency.

Note that there is an enable feature on the timer counter. It is
enabled when Fastlock Mode 2 is chosen by setting the fastlock
mode bit (DB10) in the function latch to 1.
Charge Pump Currents
CPI3, CPI2, and CPI1 program Current Setting 1 for the charge
pump. CPI6, CPI5, and CPI4 program Current Setting 2 for the
charge pump. The truth table is given in Table 10.
Prescaler Value
P2 and P1 in the function latch set the prescaler values. The
prescaler value should be chosen so that the prescaler output
frequency is always less than or equal to 200 MHz. Thus, with
an RF frequency of 2 GHz, a prescaler value of 16/17 is valid but
a value of 8/9 is not.
PD Polarity
This bit sets the phase detector polarity bit. See Table 10.
CP Three-State
This bit controls the CP output pin. With the bit set high, the
CP output is put into three-state. With the bit set low, the CP
output is enabled.
INITIALIZATION LATCH
When C2, C1 = 1, 1, the initialization latch is programmed.
This is essentially the same as the function latch (programmed
when C2, C1 = 1, 0).
However, when the initialization latch is programmed, an addi-
tional internal reset pulse is applied to the R and AB counters.
This pulse ensures that the AB counter is at load point when the
AB counter data is latched, and the device begins counting in
close phase alignment.
If the latch is programmed for synchronous power-down (CE
pin high; PD1 bit high; PD2 bit low), the internal pulse also
triggers this power-down. The prescaler reference and the
oscillator input buffer are unaffected by the internal reset pulse,
so close phase alignment is maintained when counting resumes.
When the first AB counter data is latched after initialization, the
internal reset pulse is again activated. However, successive AB
counter loads after this will not trigger the internal reset pulse.
DEVICE PROGRAMMING AFTER INITIAL
POWER-UP
After initial power-up of the device, there are three ways to
program the device.
Initialization Latch Method
Apply V
DD
. Program the initialization latch (11 in 2 LSBs of
input word). Make sure the F1 bit is programmed to 0. Then, do
an R load (00 in 2 LSBs). Then do an AB load (01 in 2 LSBs).
When the initialization latch is loaded, the following occurs:
1. The function latch contents are loaded.
2. An internal pulse resets the R, A, B, and timeout counters
to load state conditions and three-states the charge pump.
Note that the prescaler band gap reference and the oscil-
lator input buffer are unaffected by the internal reset pulse,
allowing close phase alignment when counting resumes.
3. Latching the first AB counter data after the initialization
word activates the same internal reset pulse. Successive AB
loads do not trigger the internal reset pulse unless there is
another initialization.
CE Pin Method
1. Apply V
DD
.
2. Bring CE low to put the device into power-down. This is an
asynchronous power-down in that it happens immediately.
3. Program the function latch (10). Program the R counter
latch (00). Program the AB counter latch (01).
4. Bring CE high to take the device out of power-down. The R
and AB counters now resume counting in close alignment.
After CE goes high, a duration of 1 µs may be required for the
prescaler band gap voltage and oscillator input buffer bias to
reach steady state.
CE can be used to power the device up and down in order to
check for channel activity. The input register does not need to
be reprogrammed each time the device is disabled and enabled
as long as it has been programmed at least once after V
DD
was
initially applied.
Counter Reset Method
1. Apply V
DD
.
2. Do a function latch load (10 in 2 LSBs). As part of this,
load 1 to the F1 bit. This enables the counter reset.
3. Do an R counter load (00 in 2 LSBs). Do an AB counter
load (01 in 2 LSBs). Do a function latch load (10 in 2
LSBs). As part of this, load 0 to the F1 bit. This disables the
counter reset.
This sequence provides the same close alignment as the initiali-
zation method. It offers direct control over the internal reset.
Note that counter reset holds the counters at load point and
three states the charge pump but does not trigger synchronous
power-down. The counter reset method requires an extra
function latch load compared to the initialization latch method.

RESYNCHRONIZING THE PRESCALER OUTPUT
Table 7 (the Reference Counter Latch Map) shows two bits,
DB22 and DB21, which are labeled DLY and SYNC,
respectively. These bits affect the operation of the prescaler.
With SYNC = 1, the prescaler output is resynchronized with the
RF input. This has the effect of reducing jitter due to the
prescaler and can lead to an overall improvement in synthesizer
phase noise performance. Typically, a 1 dB to 2 dB
improvement is seen in the ADF4113. The lower bandwidth
devices can show an even greater improvement. For example,
the ADF4110 phase noise is typically improved by 3 dB when
SYNC is enabled.
With DLY = 1, the prescaler output is resynchronized with a
delayed version of the RF input.
If the SYNC feature is used on the synthesizer, some care must
be taken. At some point, (at certain temperatures and output
frequencies), the delay through the prescaler coincides with the
active edge on RF input; this causes the SYNC feature to break
down. It is important to be aware of this when using the SYNC
feature. Adding a delay to the RF signal, by programming
DLY = 1, extends the operating frequency and temperature
somewhat. Using the SYNC feature also increases the value of
the AI
DD
for the device. With a 900 MHz output, the ADF4113
AI
DD
increases by about 1.3 mA when SYNC is enabled and by
an additional 0.3 mA if DLY is enabled.
All the typical performance plots in this data sheet, except for
Figure 8, apply for DLY and SYNC = 0, i.e., no resynchroniza-
tion or delay enabled.
