The synthesizer consists of an integrated low noise VCO with x2 output, an autocalibration subsystem for low voltage VCO tuning, a very low noise digital Phase Detector (PD), a precision controlled charge pump, a low noise reference path divider and a fractional divider. The fractional synthesizer features an advanced delta-sigma modulator design that allows both fine step sizes and low spurious products. The phase detector (PD) features cycle slip prevention (CSP) technology to allow faster frequency hopping times. Ultra low in-close phase noise and low spurious also allows wider loop bandwidths for faster frequency hopping and low micro-phonics. For theory of operation and register map refer to the “ PLLs w/ Integrated VCOs - RF VCOs Operating Guide”.
