THE INITIALIZATION LATCH

When C2, C1 = 1, 1, the Initialization Latch is programmed.

This is essentially the same as the Function Latch (programmed

when C2, C1 = 1, 0).

However, when the Initialization Latch is programmed an addi-

tional internal reset pulse is applied to the R and AB counters.

This pulse ensures that the AB counter is at load point when the

AB counter data is latched and the device will begin counting in

close phase alignment.

If the Latch is programmed for synchronous power-down (CE

pin is High; PD1 bit is High; PD2 bit is Low), the internal pulse

also triggers this power-down. The prescaler reference and the

oscillator input buffer are unaffected by the internal reset pulse and

so close phase alignment is maintained when counting resumes.

When the ﬁrst AB counter data is latched after initialization, the

internal reset pulse is again activated. However, successive AB

counter loads after this will not trigger the internal reset pulse.

DEVICE PROGRAMMING AFTER INITIAL POWER-UP

After initially powering up the device, there are three ways to

program the device.

Initialization Latch Method

Apply VDD. Program the Initialization Latch (“11” in 2 LSBs

of input word). Make sure that F1 bit is programmed to “0.”

Then do an R load (“00” in 2 LSBs). Then do an AB load (“01”

in 2 LSBs).

When the Initialization Latch is loaded, the following occurs:

1. The function latch contents are loaded.

2. An internal pulse resets the R, A, B, and timeout counters

to load state conditions and also three-states the charge pump.

Note that the prescaler bandgap reference and the oscillator

input buffer are unaffected by the internal reset pulse, allow-

ing close phase alignment when counting resumes.

3. Latching the ﬁrst AB counter data after the initialization word

will activate the same internal reset pulse. Successive AB loads

will not trigger the internal reset pulse unless there is another

initialization.

The CE Pin Method

Apply VDD.

Bring CE low to put the device into power-down. This is an

asynchronous power-down in that it happens immediately.

Program the Function Latch (10). Program the R Counter Latch

(00). Program the AB Counter Latch (01).

Bring CE high to take the device out of power-down. The R

and AB counters will now resume counting in close alignment.

Note that after CE goes high, a duration of 1

µs may be required

for the prescaler bandgap voltage and oscillator input buffer bias

to reach steady state.

CE can be used to power the device up and down in order to

check for channel activity. The input register does not need to

be reprogrammed each time the device is disabled and enabled

as long as it has been programmed at least once after VDD was

initially applied.

The Counter Reset Method

Apply VDD.

Do a Function Latch Load (“10” in 2 LSBs). As part of this, load

“1” to the F1 bit. This enables the counter reset.

Do an R Counter Load (“00” in 2 LSBs) Do an AB Counter Load

(“01” in 2 LSBs). Do a Function Latch Load (“10” in 2 LSBs).

As part of this, load “0” to the F1 bit. This disables the counter

reset.

This sequence provides the same close alignment as the initial-

ization method. It offers direct control over the internal reset.

Note that counter reset holds the counters at load point and three-

states the charge pump, but does not trigger synchronous power-

down. The counter reset method requires an extra function latch

load compared to the initialization latch method.

RESYNCHRONIZING THE PRESCALER OUTPUT

Table III (the Reference Counter Latch Map) shows two bits,

DB22 and DB21 that are labelled DLY and SYNC respectively.

These bits affect the operation of the prescaler.

With SYNC = “1,” the prescaler output is resynchronized with

the RF input. This has the effect of reducing jitter due to the

prescaler and can lead to an overall improvement in synthesizer

phase noise performance. Typically, a 1 dB to 2 dB improve-

ment is seen in the ADF4113. The lower bandwidth devices can

show an even greater improvement. For example, the ADF4110

phase noise is typically improved by 3 dB when SYNC is enabled.

With DLY = “1,” the prescaler output is resynchronized with a

delayed version of the RF input.

If the SYNC feature is used on the synthesizer, some care must

be taken. At some point, (at certain temperatures and output

frequencies), the delay through the prescaler will coincide with

the active edge on RF input and this will cause the SYNC fea-

ture to break down. So, it is important when using the SYNC

feature to be aware of this. Adding a delay to the RF signal, by

programming DLY = “1,” will extend the operating frequency

and temperature somewhat. Using the SYNC feature will also

increase the value of the AIDD for the device. With a 900 MHz

output, the ADF4113 AIDD increases by about 1.3 mA when

SYNC is enabled and a further 0.3 mA if DLY is enabled.

All the typical performance plots on the data sheet except for

Figure 5 apply for DLY and SYNC = “0,” i.e., no resynchroniza-

tion or delay enabled.
