The following steps should be followed:
Every time the channel frequency is programmed or the
PLL+VCO is enabled, the FSM needs to be reset to be
used again for the next time. This reset operation does
not affect the PLL or VCO. To reset the FSM, set D7 = 0
(A3:A0 = 0101).
Every channel frequency maps to some VCO sub-
band. Each VCO sub-band has a digital code, of which
the 2 LSBs (B1:B0) are readable. The B1:B0 code can
be read through pin LD by programming D3:D0 = 0111
(A3:A1 = 0000) for B1, or D3:D0 = 0110 (A3:A1 = 0000)
for B0 (see Table 6).
For faster settling, the VCO sub-band (B1:B0) can be
directly programmed through the SPI. First, the B1:B0
code for every channel frequency must be determined.
Once this is known, the B1:B0 code is directly pro-
grammed along with the PLL divider values, for the
given channel frequency. The PLL settling time in this
case is approximately 50µs.
Large temperature changes (>+50°C) may cause the
channel frequency to move into an adjacent sub-band.
To determine the correct sub-band, two on-chip com-
parators monitor the VCO control voltage (V
These comparator logic outputs can be read through

is correct or needs to be reprogrammed.
The following steps need to be followed to complete
manual PLL frequency acquisition and VCO sub-band
selection:
If the PLL and VCO are continuously active (i.e., no
reprogramming) and the die temperature changes by
50°C (as indicated by the on-chip temperature sensor),
there is a possibility that the PLL may get unlocked due
