2.5.8 DITH[1:0] -- Dithering Control
Dithering is a technique used to spread out the spur energy. Enabling dithering can reduce the main fractional spurs, but can also
give rise to a family of smaller spurs. Whether dithering helps or hurts is application specific. Enabling the dithering may also
increase the phase noise. In most cases where the fractional numerator is zero, dithering usually degrades performance.
Dithering tends to be most beneficial in applications where there is insufficient filtering of the spurs. This often occurs when the
loop bandwidth is very wide or a higher order delta-sigma modulator is used. Dithering tends not to impact the main fractional spurs
much, but has a much larger impact on the sub-fractional spurs. If it is decided that dithering will be used, best results will be
obtained when the fractional denominator is at least 1000.
2.5.9 ATPU -- PLL Automatic Power Up
When this bit is set to 1, both the RF and IF PLL power up when the R0 register is written to. When the R0 register is written to,
the PD_RF and PD_IF bits are changed to 0 in the PLL registers. The exception to this case is when the CE pin is low. In this case,
the ATPU function is disabled.
