NOISE CHARACTERISTICS
In-Band Phase Noise of the Charge Pump/
Phase Frequency Detector
2
The PLL in-band phase noise floor is estimated by
measuring the in-band phase noise at the output
of the VCO and subtracting 20 log(N) (where N is
the value of the N divider)
500 kHz PFD Frequency −165 dBc/Hz
1 MHz PFD Frequency −162 dBc/Hz
10 MHz PFD Frequency −152 dBc/Hz
50 MHz PFD Frequency
−144
dBc/Hz
PLL Figure of Merit (FOM) −222 dBc/Hz Reference slew rate > 0.5 V/ns; FOM + 10 log(f
PFD
) is
an approximation of the PFD/CP in-band phase
noise (in the flat region) inside the PLL loop
bandwidth; when running closed-loop, the phase
noise, as observed at the VCO output, is increased
by 20 log(N); PLL figure of merit decreases with
decreasing slew rate; see Figure 11
PLL DIGITAL LOCK DETECT WINDOW

Signal available at the LD, STATUS, and REFMON
pins when selected by appropriate register
settings; the lock detect threshold varies linearly
with the value of the CP

lock)

The REFIN and
REFIN
self-bias points are offset slightly to avoid chatter on an open input condition.
2
In-band means within the LBW of the PLL.

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