When the VCO characteristics are positive this should be
set to “1”. When they are negative it should be set to
“ 0” .
C harge Pump T hree-State
T his bit puts the charge pump into three-state mode when
programmed to a “1”. It should be set to “0” for normal
operation.
F astlock E nable Bit
DB9 of the Function Latch in the ADF4116 familiy is
the Fastlock Enable Bit. Only when this is “1” is
Fastlock enabled.
F astlock Mode Bit
DB11 of the Function Latch in the ADF4116 family is
the Fastlock Mode bit. When Fastlock is enabled, this bit
determines which Fastlock Mode is used. If the Fastlock
Mode bit is “0” then Fastlock Mode 1 is selected and if
the Fastlock Mode bit is “1”, then Fastlock Mode 2 is
selected.
If Fastlock is not enabled (DB9 = “0”), then DB11
(ADF4116) determines the state of the FL
O
output. FL
O
state will be the same as that programmed to DB11.
Fastlock Mode 1
In the ADF4116 family, the output level of FL
O
is pro-
grammed to a low state and the charge pump current is
switched to the high value (1mA). FL
O
is used to switch a
resistor in the loop filter and ensure stability while in
Fastlock by altering the loop bandwidth.

T he on-chip multiplexer is controlled by F5, F4 and F3
on the an ADF4116 family.
Phase D etector Polarity
F6 in the ADF4116 sets the Phase Detector Polarity.
T he device enters Fastlock by having a “1” written to the
CP Gain bit in the N register. T he device exits Fastlock
by having a “0” written to the CP Gain bit in the N regis-
ter.
Fastlock Mode 2
In the ADF4116 family, the output level of FL
O
is pro-
grammed to a low state and the charge pump current is
switched to the high value (1mA). FL
O
is used to switch a
resistor in the loop filter and ensure stability while in
Fastlock by altering the loop bandwidth.
T he device enters Fastlock by having a “1” written to the
CP Gain bit in the N register. T he device exits Fastlock
under the control of the T imer Counter. After the
timeout period determined by the value in T C4 - T C1,
“0” and the device reverts to normal mode instead of
F astlock.
T imer C ounter C ontrol
In the ADF4116 family, the user has the option of switch-
ing between two charge pump current values to speed up
locking to a new frequency.
When using the Fastlock feature with the ADF4116 fam-
ily, the normal sequence of events is as follows:
T he user must make sure that Fastlock is enabled. Set
DB9 of the ADF4116 family to “1”. T he user must also
choose which Fastlock Mode to use. As discussed in the
previous section, Fastlock Mode 2 uses the values in the
T imer Counter to determine the timeout period before
reverting to normal mode operation after Fastlock.
Fastlock Mode 2 is chosen by setting DB11 of the
ADF4116 family to “1”.
T he user must also decide how long they want the high
current (1mA) to stay active before reverting to low cur-
rent (210uA). T his is controlled by the T imer Counter
Control Bits DB14 to DB11 (T C4 - T C1) in the Func-
tion Latch. T he truth table is given in T able 11.
Now, when the user wishes to program a new output fre-
quency, they can simply program the A,B counter latch
with new values for A and B. At the same time they can
set the CP Gain bit to a “1” ,which sets the charge pump
1mA for a period of time determined by T C4 - T C1.
When this time is up, the charge pump current reverts to
210uA. At the same time the CP Gain Bit in the A, B
Counter latch is reset to 0 and is now ready for the next
time that the user wishes to change the frequency again.
