OPERATION GUIDE . How to calculate the setting values for the PLL register The PLL IC manual shows that the PLL frequency setting value is obtained with the following equation.
OPERATION GUIDE . Method of serial data input to the PLL After the RF channel table plan is decided, the data needs to be allocated to the ROM table and read from there or calculated with the software. Together with this setting data, operation bits that decide operation of the PLL must be sent to the PLL. The operation bits for setting the PLL are as follows. These values are placed at the head of the reference counter value and are sent to the PLL. 1. CS: Charge pump current select bit CS = 0 +/-1.
OPERATION GUIDE . TIMING CHART Control timing in a typical application is shown in Figure 3. Initial setting of the port connected to the radio module is performed when power is supplied by the CPU and reset is completed. MOS-FET for supply voltage control of the radio module, RXSEL and TXSEL are set to inactive to avoid unwanted emissions. The power supply of the radio module is then turned on.
