10. Functional description
The TFF11142HN consists of the following blocks:
•
•
•
•
•
PLL
Output buffer
Lock detector
Reference input
Divider settings
The functionality of the blocks will be discussed below.
10.1 PLL
The PLL is formed by the VCO, DIVIDER (possible settings: 16, 32, 64, 128 and 256
(see
Table 8))
and a PFD/CP. The tune voltage is referred to the band gap regulated
voltage: VREGVCO (pin 1).
The loop filter can be set to type 2 or type 3. If a type 2 filter is used, the pins
CPOUT (pin 2) and VTUNE (pin 3) must be interconnected. A 10 pF capacitor is placed
internally between pins CPOUT (pin 2) and VREGVCO (pin 1), and a 30 pF capacitor is
placed between pins VTUNE (pin 3) and VREGVCO (pin 1). See
Figure 4
and
Figure 5.
Values for the loop filter components are given in
Table 5.
The VCO input voltage range is between 0.1 and 0.9 V
O(reg)VCO
.
