Power down of all functions except programming interface.
Immediate and continuous load of counter programming.
Drives the internal dual modulus prescaler modulus select (MSEL) onto the Dout output.
Drives the reference counter output onto the Dout output

Phase Detector
The phase detector is triggered by rising edges
from the main Counter (f_p) and the reference
counter (f_c). It has two outputs, namely PD_U,
and PD_D. If the divided VCO leads the divided
reference in phase or frequency (f_p leads f_c),
PD_D pulses “low”. If the divided reference leads
the divided VCO in phase or frequency (f_c leads
f_p), PD_U pulses “low”. The width of either pulse
is directly proportional to phase offset between the
two input signals, f_p and f_c.
The phase detector gain is equal to 2.70 V / 2 п,
which numerically yields 0.43 V / Radian.
PD_U and PD_D drive an active loop filter which
controls the VCO tune voltage. PD_U pulses
result in an increase in VCO frequency and PD_D
results in a decrease in VCO frequency, for a
positive Kv VCO.
A lock detect output, LD is also provided, via the
pin Cext. Cext is the logical “NAND” of PD_U and
PD_D waveforms, which is driven through a series
2 kohm resistor. Connecting Cext to an external
shunt capacitor provides low pass filtering of this
signal. Cext also drives the input of an internal
inverting comparator with an open drain output.
Thus LD is an “AND” function of PD_U and PD_D
