15, 17RFOUT2N, RFOUT2PRF Output 2 Output Signal. The VCO output divider is buffered and presented differentially on the RFOUT2N and RFOUT2P pins. The outputs have a 50 Ω (typical) output resistance per side (100 Ω differential). The far end of the transmission line is typically terminated with 100 Ω connected across the outputs. The output amplitude is programmable via the serial port.
20, 22RFOUT1N, RFOUT1PRF Output 1 Output Signal. The VCO output divider is buffered and presented differentially on the RFOUT1N and REFOUT1P pins. The outputs have 50 Ω (typical) output resistance per side (100 Ω differential). The far end of the transmission line is typically terminated with 100 Ω connected across the outputs.

29DELSTRDelay Strobe Input Signal. A rising edge on this signal indicates that an adjustment is needed. The adjustment is then made on the falling edge.

31CEChip Enable. 3.3 V CMOS input. Does not support 1.8 V CMOS levels. This CMOS input enables the device when driven high. A logic low disables the device, putting the device in a full power-down state causing the register to reset. Conversely, the PD_ALL bit powers down the device, but does not reset the registers.

Thermal Information

Thermal performance is directly linked to printed circuit board (PCB) design and operating environment. Careful attention to PCB thermal design is required.

θJA is specified for the worst-case conditions, that is, a device soldered in a circuit board for surface-mount packages. θJC-TOP and θJC-BOTTOM are the junction-to-case thermal resistance top and bottom.
