Figure 31. Phase Register (R2)
12-Bit Phase
The phase word sets the seed value of the Σ-Δ modulator. It can
be programmed to any integer value from 0 to MOD. As the
phase word is swept from 0 to MOD, the phase of the VCO
output sweeps over a 360° range in steps of 360°/MOD.
Note that the phase bits are double buffered. They do not take
effect until the LE of the next write to R0 (FRAC/INT register).
Therefore, if it is desired to change the phase of the VCO output
frequency, it is necessary to rewrite the INT and FRAC values to
R0, following the write to R2.
The output of a fractional-N PLL can settle to any one of the
MOD possible phase offsets with respect to the reference, where
MOD is the fractional modulus.
If it is desired to keep the output at the same phase offset with
respect to the reference, each time that particular output
frequency is programmed, then the interval between writes to
R0 must be an integer multiple of MOD reference cycles.
If it is desired to keep the outputs of two ADF4193-based
synthesizers phase coherent with each other, but not necessarily
with their common reference, then it is only required to ensure
that the write to R0 on both chips is performed during the same
reference cycle. The interval between R0 writes in this case does
not have to be an integer multiple of the MOD cycles.
Reserved Bit
The reserved bit, Bit DB15, should be set to 0.
