NOISE CHARACTERISTICS
In-Band Noise of the Charge Pump/
Phase Frequency Detector (In-Band
Means Within the LBW of the PLL)
The synthesizer phase noise floor is
estimated by measuring the in-band
phase noise at the output of the VCO and
subtracting 20logN (where N is the
N divider value).
@ 50 kHz PFD Frequency −172 dBc/Hz
@ 2 MHz PFD Frequency −156 dBc/Hz
@ 10 MHz PFD Frequency −149 dBc/Hz
@ 50 MHz PFD Frequency −142 dBc/Hz

dBc/Hz
Approximation of the PFD/CP phase noise
floor (in the flat region) inside the PLL loop
bandwidth. When running closed loop this
phase noise is gained up by 20 × log(N)

Required to Lock
(Coincidence of Edges)
Selected by Register ODh.
Low Range (ABP 1.3 ns, 2.9 ns Only) 3.5 ns <5> = 1b.
High Range (ABP 1.3 ns, 2.9 ns) 7.5 ns <5> = 0b.
High Range (ABP 6 ns) 3.5 ns <5> = 0b.

Selected by Register 0Dh.
Low Range (ABP 1.3 ns, 2.9 ns Only) 7 ns <5> = 1b.
High Range (ABP 1.3 ns, 2.9 ns) 15 ns <5> = 0b.
High Range (ABP 6 ns) 11 ns <5> = 0b.

REFIN and REFINB self-bias points are offset slightly to avoid chatter on an open input condition.
2
CLK2 is electrically identical to CLK1; the distribution only input can be used as differential or single-ended input (see the Clock Inputs section).

Example: −218 + 10 × log(f
PFD
) + 20 × log(N) should give the values for the in-band noise at the VCO output.

For reliable operation of the digital lock detect, the period of the PFD frequency must be greater than the unlock-after-lock time.

Jitter performance can be improved with higher slew
rates (greater swing).

Larger swings turn on the protection diodes and can
degrade jitter performance.
