2.2.2 Calculation of LO1 and IF1 frequency for High Frequency Bands
Typical ISM band operating frequencies like 868.3 and 915MHz can be covered without changing the crystal
nor the VCO inductor.
Low-low injection should be used for the high frequency bands. First of all choose a PFD frequency f_PFD
according to below table. The R counter values are valid for a 10MHz crystal reference. The PFD frequency
is given by f_PFD = f_RO /R.

The second step is to calculate the missing parameters f_LO1, f_IF1, N_tot, N and A. While the second IF (f_IF2), the
N_LO2 divider ratio and the prescaler divider ratio P are bound to f_IF2 = 2MHz, N_Lo2 = 4 (or 8) and P =32.

Finally N and A can be calculated with formula (5).
2.2.3 Counter Setting Examples for SPI Mode
To provide some examples, the following table shows some counter settings for the reception of the well-
known ISM and SRD frequency bands. The channel spacing is assumed to be f_CH = 100kHz. In below table
all frequency units are in MHz.
