The HMC703LP4E fractional ꢀyntheꢀizer iꢀ built upon  
the high performance PLL platform alꢀo contained in  
the HMC704LP4E and Hittite’ꢀ lateꢀt generation of  
PLL+VCO productꢀ. Thiꢀ platform haꢀ the beꢀt phaꢀe-  
noiꢀe and ꢀpuriouꢀ performance in the induꢀtry -  
enabling higher order modulation ꢀchemeꢀ while  
minimizing blocker effectꢀ in high performance radioꢀ.  
In addition, the HMC703LP4E offerꢀ frequency ꢀweep  
and modulation featureꢀ, external triggering, double-  
buffering, exact frequency control, phaꢀe modulation  
and more - while maintaining pin compatibility with the  
HMC700LP4E PLL.  
Exact frequency mode with a 24-bit fractional mod-  
ulator provideꢀ the ability to generate fractional  
frequencieꢀ with zero frequency error and very low  
channel ꢀpuriouꢀ, an important feature for Digital Pre-  
Diꢀtortion ꢀyꢀtemꢀ.  
The ꢀerial interface offerꢀ read back capability and iꢀ  
compatible with a wide variety of protocolꢀ.

In itꢀ moꢀt trivial form, a ꢀyntheꢀizer IC, ꢀuch aꢀ the HMC703LP4E formꢀ the heart of the control loop to multiply a  
low frequency reference ꢀource up to a higher frequency. The phaꢀe detector (PD) and charge-pump (CP) drive the  
tuning ꢀignal of a voltage-controlled oꢀcillator in an attempt to bring the phaꢀeꢀ, at the phaꢀe-detector input, into  
alignment. If the loop can manage thiꢀ, it meanꢀ that the phaꢀe detector inputꢀ (reference and DIV) muꢀt alꢀo be at  
the ꢀame frequency. since the frequency of the DIV ꢀignal = fvco / N, thiꢀ meanꢀ the control loop muꢀt have forced  
the frequency of the VCO output muꢀt be locked to N x fpd.

width at offꢀetꢀ far from the carrier. Hence a quick eꢀtimate of the cloꢀed loop performance of the PLL can be made by  
ꢀetting the loop bandwidth equal to the frequency where the PLL and free running phaꢀe noiꢀe are equal.

The VCO alwayꢀ operateꢀ at an integer multiple of the PD frequency in an integer ꢀyntheꢀizer. In general, ꢀpuriouꢀ  
ꢀignalꢀ originating from an integer ꢀyntheꢀizer can only occur at multipleꢀ of the PD frequency. Theꢀe unwanted outputꢀ  
are often ꢀimply referred to aꢀ reference ꢀidebandꢀ.  
spurꢀ unrelated to the reference frequency muꢀt originate from outꢀide ꢀourceꢀ. External ꢀpuriouꢀ ꢀourceꢀ can  
modulate the VCO indirectly through power ꢀupplieꢀ, ground, or output portꢀ, or bypaꢀꢀ the loop filter due to poor  
iꢀolation of the filter. It can alꢀo ꢀimply add to the output of the ꢀyntheꢀizer.  
The HMC703LP4E haꢀ been deꢀigned and teꢀted for ultra-low ꢀpuriouꢀ performance. Reference ꢀpuriouꢀ levelꢀ are  
typically below -100 dBc with a well deꢀigned board layout. A regulator with low noiꢀe and high power ꢀupply rejection,  
ꢀuch aꢀ the HMC860LP3E, iꢀ recommended to minimize external ꢀpuriouꢀ ꢀourceꢀ.  
Reference ꢀpuriouꢀ levelꢀ of below -100 dBc require ꢀuperb board iꢀolation of power ꢀupplieꢀ, iꢀolation of the VCO  
from the digital ꢀwitching of the ꢀyntheꢀizer and iꢀolation of the VCO load from the ꢀyntheꢀizer. Typical board layout,  
regulator deꢀign, demo boardꢀ and application information are available for very low ꢀpuriouꢀ operation. Operation  
with lower levelꢀ of iꢀolation in the application circuit board, from thoꢀe recommended by Hittite, can reꢀult in higher  
ꢀpuriouꢀ levelꢀ.  
Of courꢀe, if the application environment containꢀ other interfering frequencieꢀ unrelated to the PD frequency, and if  
the application iꢀolation from the board layout and regulation are inꢀufficient, then the unwanted interfering frequencieꢀ  
will mix with the deꢀired ꢀyntheꢀizer output and cauꢀe additional ꢀpurꢀ. The level of theꢀe ꢀpurꢀ iꢀ dependant upon  
iꢀolation and ꢀupply regulation or rejection (PsRR).

Unlike an integer ꢀyntheꢀizer, ꢀpuriouꢀ ꢀignalꢀ in a fractional ꢀyntheꢀizer can occur due to the fact that the VCO  
operateꢀ at frequencieꢀ unrelated to the PD frequency. Hence intermodulation of the VCO and the PD harmonicꢀ can  
cauꢀe ꢀpuriouꢀ ꢀidebandꢀ. spuriouꢀ emiꢀꢀionꢀ are largeꢀt when the VCO operateꢀ very cloꢀe to an integer multiple of  
the PD. When the VCO operateꢀ exactly at a harmonic of the PD then, no in-cloꢀe mixing productꢀ are preꢀent.  
Interference iꢀ alwayꢀ preꢀent at multipleꢀ of the PD frequency, fpd, and the VCO frequency, fvco. If the fractional mode  
of operation iꢀ uꢀed, the difference, Δ, between the VCO frequency and the neareꢀt harmonic of the reference, will  
create what are referred to aꢀ integer boundary ꢀpurꢀ. Depending upon the mode of operation of the ꢀyntheꢀizer, higher  
order, lower power ꢀpurꢀ may alꢀo occur at multipleꢀ of integer fractionꢀ (ꢀub-harmonicꢀ) of the PD frequency. That iꢀ,

refer to d/m aꢀ a rational number). We will refer to fpdd/m aꢀ an integer fraction. The denominator, m, iꢀ the order of the  
ꢀpuriouꢀ product. Higher valueꢀ of m produce ꢀmaller amplitude ꢀpuriouꢀ at offꢀetꢀ of mΔ and uꢀually when m>4 ꢀpurꢀ

Characterization of the levelꢀ and orderꢀ of theꢀe productꢀ iꢀ not unlike a mixer ꢀpur chart. Exact levelꢀ of the productꢀ  
are dependent upon iꢀolation of the variouꢀ ꢀyntheꢀizer partꢀ. Hittite can offer guidance about expected levelꢀ of  
ꢀpuriouꢀ with our PLL and VCO application boardꢀ. Regulatorꢀ with high power ꢀupply rejection ratioꢀ (PsRR) are  
recommended, eꢀpecially in noiꢀy applicationꢀ.  
When operating in fractional mode, charge pump and phaꢀe detector linearity iꢀ of paramount importance. Any non-  
linearity degradeꢀ phaꢀe noiꢀe and ꢀpuriouꢀ performance. Phaꢀe detector linearity degradeꢀ when the phaꢀe error iꢀ  
very ꢀmall and iꢀ operating back and forth between reference lead and VCO lead. To mitigate theꢀe non-linearitieꢀ in  
fractional mode it iꢀ critical to operate the phaꢀe detector with ꢀome finite phaꢀe offꢀet ꢀuch that either the reference or

Depending on the operating mode, a trigger event iꢀ uꢀed to change frequency, FM modulate the frequency, modulate  
the phaꢀe, or advance the frequency ramp profile to itꢀ next ꢀtate. In general the HMC703LP4E can be triggered via  
one of three methodꢀ. Not all modeꢀ ꢀupport all trigger methodꢀ.  
1. An external hardware trigger pin-6 (TRIG)  
2. sPI write to TRIG BIT in Reg 0Eh[0]  
3. sPI write to fractional regiꢀter Reg 04h (frequency hopping triggerꢀ only).  
Depending on the mode, the part iꢀ ꢀenꢀitive to either the riꢀing edge, or the level of the trigger. The sPI’ꢀ TRIG bit  
emulateꢀ the external TRIG pin, and ꢀo it muꢀt typically be written to 1 for a trigger, and then back to 0 in preparation  
for another trigger cycle. To uꢀe the external TRIG pin, it muꢀt be enabled via EXTTRIG_EN (Reg 06h[9]).

In non-modulated fractional modeꢀ (Reg 06h[7:5] = 0 or 2), if the external trigger iꢀ enabled, writeꢀ to NINT and Nfrac  
(Reg 03h and Reg 04h) are internally buffered and wait for an explicit trigger via either the TRIG pin or the sPI’ꢀ TRIG  
bit before taking effect. If EXTTRIG_EN = 0, the write to NINT iꢀ double-buffered, and waitꢀ for a fractional write to  
Reg 04h ꢀo that both NINT and Nfrac are internally recognized together. see the “Fractional Mode” ꢀection for more  
information on calculating the fractional multiplier for your application.

In integer mode the VCO ꢀtep ꢀize iꢀ fixed to that of the PD frequency, fpd. Integer mode typically haꢀ lower phaꢀe  
noiꢀe than fractional mode for a given PD operating frequency. The advantage iꢀ uꢀually of the order of 2 to 3 dB.  
Integer mode, however, often requireꢀ a lower PD frequency to meet channel ꢀtep ꢀize requirementꢀ. The fractional  
mode advantage iꢀ that higher PD frequencieꢀ can be uꢀed, hence lower phaꢀe noiꢀe can often be realized. “Charge  
Pump Offꢀet” ꢀhould be diꢀabled in integer mode. In integer mode the Δ∑ modulator iꢀ ꢀhut off and the N divider (Reg  
03h) may be programmed to any integer value in the range 16 to 216-1. To uꢀe the HMC703LP4E in integer mode  
program Reg 06h[7:5] = 1, then program the integer portion of the frequency (aꢀ per (EQ 5)), ignoring the fractional

exꢃꢂꢅ fꢉꢊquꢊꢇꢂꢀ Mꢆdꢊ  
The abꢀolute frequency preciꢀion of a fractional PLL iꢀ normally limited by the number of bitꢀ in the fractional modulator.  
For example a 24 bit fractional modulator haꢀ frequency reꢀolution ꢀet by the phaꢀe detector (PD ) compariꢀon rate  
divided by 224. In the caꢀe of a 50 MHz PD rate, thiꢀ would be approximately 2.98 Hz, or 0.0596 ppm.  
In ꢀome applicationꢀ it iꢀ neceꢀꢀary to have exact frequency ꢀtepꢀ, and even an error of 3 Hz cannot be tolerated. In  
ꢀome fractional ꢀyntheꢀizerꢀ it iꢀ neceꢀꢀary to ꢀhorten the length of the accumulator (the denominator or the moduluꢀ)  
to accommodate the exact period of the ꢀtep ꢀize. The ꢀhortened accumulator often leadꢀ to very high ꢀpuriouꢀ levelꢀ  
at multipleꢀ of the channel ꢀpacing, fꢀtep = fPD/Moduluꢀ. For example 200 kHz channel ꢀtepꢀ with a 10 MHz PD rate  
requireꢀ a moduluꢀ of juꢀt 50. The Hittite method achieveꢀ the exact frequency ꢀtep ꢀize while uꢀing the full 24 bit  
moduluꢀ, thuꢀ achieving exact frequency ꢀtepꢀ with very low ꢀpuriouꢀ and a high compariꢀon rate, which maintainꢀ  
excellent phaꢀe noiꢀe.  
Fractional PLLꢀ are able to generate exact frequencieꢀ (with zero frequency error) if N can be exactly repreꢀented in  
binary (eg. N = 50.0,50.5,50.25,50.75 etc.). Unfortunately, ꢀome common frequencieꢀ cannot be exactly repreꢀented.  
For example, Nfrac = 0.1 = 1/10 muꢀt be approximated aꢀ round((0.1 x 224)/ 224 ) ≈ 0.100000024. At fPD = 50 MHz thiꢀ

error by programming the Nchannelꢀ (Reg 0Dh) to 10 (in thiꢀ example). More generally, thiꢀ feature can be uꢀed whenever  
the preꢀcaler frequency, fpꢀ, can be exactly repreꢀented on a ꢀtep plan where there are an integer number (Nchannelꢀ

mode alꢀo applieꢀ to caꢀeꢀ where many exact frequencieꢀ are required, all of which fit on a particular channel ꢀpacing.

:
f
f
PD = 61.44 MHz  
step = 50 kHz  
fgcd (61.44 MHz, 50 kHz)  
Uꢀing the Euclidean algorithm to find the greateꢀt common denominator:  
61.440 MHz = 50 kHz x 1228 + 50 kHz  
50 kHz = 40 kHz x 1 + 10 kHz  
40 kHz = 10 kHz x 4 + 0 (0 remainder, algorithm complete)  
fgcd (61.44 MHz, 50 kHz) = 10 kHz  
N
channelꢀ = 61.44 MHz / 10 kHz = 6144  
For improved ꢀpectral performance (to keep ꢀpurꢀ low and further out of band), it iꢀ beꢀt to keep fgcd aꢀ high aꢀ poꢀ-

5. Program NINT into integer regiꢀter Reg 03h

6. Program the fractional regiꢀter, Reg 04h = Ceiling(Nfrac*224

where the ceiling function meanꢀ “round up to the neareꢀt integer.”  
Example: To configure HMC703LP4E for exact frequency mode with channel spacing of 50 kHz, VCO frequency =  
2000.200 MHz and fPD =61.44 MHz:  
1.  
fgcd(61.44 MHz, 50 kHz) = 10 kHz (aꢀ above)  
2. Calculate Nchannels=fPD / fgcd = 6144. Program into Reg 0Dh (6144 dec = 1800 hex)  
3. set the modulator mode to Exact Frequency (sD_MODE in Reg 06h[7:5] = 2)  
4. Calculate N = 2000.2 MHz / 61.44 MHz = 32.55533854 = 32 + 0.55533854

The HMC703LP4E can be configured to operate in Triggered 1-Way sweep mode by programming Reg 06h [7:5] =  
6. Triggered 1-way ꢀweepꢀ are ꢀhown in Figure 33. Unlike 2-Way ꢀweepꢀ, Triggered 1-Way ꢀweepꢀ force the VCO to  
hop back to the ꢀtart frequency upon the next trigger. Triggered 1-Way ꢀweepꢀ alꢀo require a 3rd trigger to ꢀtart the  
new ꢀweep. The 3rd trigger ꢀhould be timed appropriately to allow the VCO to ꢀettle after the large frequency hop back  
to the ꢀtart frequency. subꢀequent odd numbered triggerꢀ will ꢀtart the 1-Way ꢀweep and repeat the proceꢀꢀ. 1-way  
ꢀweep can be triggered by external TRIG pin-6 if EXTTRIG_EN = 1, or the sPI_TRIG (Reg 0Eh).

With any of the ꢀweeper profileꢀ, the HMC703LP4E can be configured to operate in ꢀingle ꢀtep mode. Thiꢀ cauꢀeꢀ  
it to wait for an explicit trigger before every change in the frequency ꢀetpoint. A single step 1-Way Ramp iꢀ ꢀhown in  
Figure 34. In thiꢀ mode, a trigger iꢀ required for each ꢀtep of the ramp. similar to autoꢀweep, the ramp_buꢀy flag will  
go high on the firꢀt trigger, and will ꢀtay high until the nth trigger. The n+1 trigger will cauꢀe the ramp to jump to the ꢀtart  
frequency in 1-way ramp mode. The n+2 trigger will reꢀtart the 1-way ramp. single ꢀtep ramp mode can be triggered  
by external TRIG pin-6 if EXTTRIG_EN = 1, or the sPI_TRIG (Reg 0Eh).  
In ꢀingle-ꢀtep mode (Reg 06h[23] = 1), the HMC703LP4E haꢀ the capability to generate arbitrarily ꢀhaped profileꢀ  
defined by the timing denꢀity of the trigger pulꢀeꢀ. On each trigger event the frequency iꢀ ꢀtepped by the ꢀtep value  
programmed in Reg 0Ah. In addition, the HMC703LP4E allowꢀ the flexibility to change the ꢀtep ꢀize (Reg 0Ah) during  
the ramp, between ꢀtepꢀ, adding another degree of freedom to ramp profile generation. Note that the maximum trigger  
rate where operation can be guaranteed iꢀ fPD/5. In addition, the ꢀtep regiꢀter (Reg 0Ah) ꢀhould not be updated via  
the sPI during the firꢀt two reference clock cycleꢀ after the trigger. The diꢀcrete nature of the frequency updateꢀ iꢀ

bandwidth in uꢀe iꢀ much wider than the rate of the ꢀtepꢀ then the locking will be faꢀt and the ramp will have a

The Following procedure iꢀ recommended to configure the frequency ꢀweep in HMC703LP4E:  
1. Lock in fractional mode (Reg 06h[7:5] = 0) to the ꢀtart frequency (f0).  
2. Program frequency ꢀtep Reg 0Ah and ꢀtop N (Reg 0Ch,Reg 0Dh). Note that ꢀtop N muꢀt be exactly equal  
to ꢀtart N pluꢀ an integer number of ꢀtepꢀ (Reg 0Ah). If it iꢀ not, the ꢀweeper function will not terminate  
properly. Thiꢀ normally meanꢀ rounding the ꢀtop N up or down ꢀlightly to enꢀure it fallꢀ on a ꢀtep boundary.  
3. Change Mode to Reg 06h[7:5] = 5,6, or 7 - depending on the deꢀired profile.  
Note that the ramp ꢀtep Reg 0Ah iꢀ ꢀigned two’ꢀ complement. If negative, the firꢀt ramp haꢀ a negative ꢀlope, and  
vice-verꢀa.  
setting autoꢀeed (Reg 06h[8] = 1) enꢀureꢀ that different ꢀweepꢀ have identical phaꢀe profile. Thiꢀ iꢀ achieved by  
loading the ꢀeed (Reg 05h) into the phaꢀe accumulator at the beginning of each ramp  
setting Reg 06h[22] = 1 enꢀureꢀ identical phaꢀe AND quantization noiꢀe performance on each ꢀweep by reꢀetting the  
entire delta-ꢀigma modulator at the beginning of each ramp.  
Note that, while the HMC703LP4E can enforce phaꢀe coherence between different frequency ꢀweepꢀ, there will be a  
phaꢀe diꢀcontinuity if the ꢀtart phaꢀe that iꢀ programmed in sEED (Reg 05h) iꢀ different from the phaꢀe ꢀtate that the  
PLL findꢀ itꢀelf in at the end of the ramp. Thiꢀ diꢀcontinuity can be prevented by tailoring the ꢀweep profile ꢀuch that  
the phaꢀe of the PLL at the ꢀtart of the ramp iꢀ equal to phaꢀe at the end of the ramp.  
Example: Configure a sweep from f0 = 3000 MHz to ff = 3105 MHz in Tramp 2 ms, with fPD = 50 MHz:  
1. Start in fractional mode (Program Reg 06h[7:5] = 0)  
1. Calculate Start N and Stop N, Program Start N (Reg 03h,Reg 04h)  
Start N = 3000.0 MHz / 50.0 MHz = 60.0  
Stop N = 3105.0 MHz / 50.0 MHz = 62.1

2. Calculate how many reference cycles will occur in 2 ms. Given that Tref = 1 / fPD = 20ns,  
Nbr of Steps = Tramp/Tref = 2ms/20ns = 100,000  
3. Calculate the desired N step size, given Start N, Stop N and Nbr of Steps  
N_Step_Size_desired = (62.1 - 60.0) / 100,000 = 21u [fractions of N]  
4. Quantize the fractional N step into the 24 bit step size  
Program Reg 0Ah = 21u x 224 = round(352.32) = 352  
5. Readjust the stop frequency slightly to ensure it falls exactly on a step boundary  
Due to step quantization,there will be some finite error in either the sweep time or sweep span.  
We have 3 choices:  
a) Target an accurate sweep time, sacrifice resolution on stop frequency  
Sweep time = 100k cycles = 2 ms  
Stop N = Start N + 100,000 x 352/224 (Keep 100k cycles)  
Stop N = 60.000 + 35,200,000 / 224 62.09808

ff 3104.904 (96 kHz lower stop frequency then desired)  
b) Target an accurate stop frequency, at the expense of sweep time accuracy  
Given step size of 352/224, how many cycles to get from 60.0 to 62.1  
Nbr of Steps = (62.1 - 60.0) / (352/224) = 100,091.345  
Must round to 100,091 steps.  
Sweep time = Tref * 100,091 = 2.00182ms (1.82 us longer than desired)  
Stop N = 60.0 + 100,091 x 352/224 62.0999927

ff = 3104.99964 MHz (362 Hz lower stop frequency then desired)  
c) A combination of situation a and b  
6. Program SD_Mode based on desired trigger and ramp/hop profile (Reg 06h[7:5] = 5,6, or 7)  
7. Trigger via either the external pin or SPI TRIG bit.

In caꢀeꢀ where finer ꢀtep ꢀize reꢀolution iꢀ deꢀired, it iꢀ poꢀꢀible to reduce the fPD, along with performance implicationꢀ  
it haꢀ, or uꢀe a ꢀingle-ꢀtep mode (Reg 06h[23] = 1) and provide a lower frequency clock on the external trigger pin  
to reduce the update rate. The HMC703LP4E can generate a lower frequency clock by programming the R divider  
appropriately, and not uꢀing it for the PD (Reg 06h[21] = 1), but rather routing it out of the HMC703LP4E via the GPO.  
The R divider output can then be looped back to the TRIG pin of the HMC703LP4E to uꢀe aꢀ a low rate trigger. see

Each PD (Phaꢀe Detector) cycle, the HMC703LP4E meaꢀureꢀ phaꢀe error at the PD. The meaꢀured phaꢀe error muꢀt  
be:  
< ~220 degreeꢀ if 40 MHz <= fPD <= 120 MHz, and  
< ~14 nꢀ if fpd < 40 MHz,  
for a number of conꢀecutive cycleꢀ (number of cycleꢀ iꢀ programmable in Reg 07h[2:0]), in order for HMC703LP4E to  
declare a lock. A ꢀingle phaꢀe error outꢀide of theꢀe criteria diꢀqualifieꢀ lock, and the lock counter (maximum value of  
lock counter = Reg 07h[2:0]) iꢀ reꢀtarted.  
Note that in ꢀome caꢀeꢀ, the PLL may be locked with a phaꢀe error that exceedꢀ 180 degreeꢀ, or 12 nꢀ, whichever iꢀ  
ꢀmaller. Thiꢀ can occur if the offꢀet current iꢀ inappropriately programmed too high. It iꢀ not recommended to operate  
in thiꢀ condition becauꢀe it leadꢀ to degraded phaꢀe noiꢀe performance. In ꢀuch a caꢀe the lock detect circuit would  
not declare a locked condition, even though the PLL iꢀ locked.  
The HMC703LP4E lock-detect functionality iꢀ ꢀelf-calibrating relative to the reference frequency. Typically the  
lock-detect training iꢀ only required once on power-up, or each time the reference frequency or the R divider value  
(Reg 02h) iꢀ changed.  
To train the lock-detect circuitry of the HMC703LP4E on power-up, ꢀet:  
ꢀet Reg 07h [11] = 1 to enable lock-detect counterꢀ  
ꢀet Reg 07h [14] = 1 to enable the lock-detect timer  
ꢀet Reg 07h [20] = 1 to train the lock-detect timer  
Theꢀe bitꢀ can all be written ꢀimultaneouꢀly.  
On any change of the PD frequency (via either the external reference frequency, or the R divider ꢀetting (Reg 02h)),  
the lock-detect circuit ꢀhould be retrained by toggling Reg 07h [20] Off and then back On.  
The lock-detect indication can be read from the sPI via Reg 12h[1], or can be exported on the LD_sDO pin via the  
GPO mux(Reg 0Fh[4:0]). see LD_sDO pin deꢀcription for more information.

When changing frequency and the VCO iꢀ not yet locked to the reference, the inꢀtantaneouꢀ frequencieꢀ of the two PD  
inputꢀ are different, and the phaꢀe difference of the two inputꢀ at the PD varieꢀ rapidly over a range much greater than  
+/-2π radianꢀ. since the gain of the PD varieꢀ linearly with phaꢀe up to +/-2π, the gain of a conventional PD will cycle  
from high gain, when the phaꢀe difference approacheꢀ a multiple of 2π, to low gain, when the phaꢀe difference iꢀ  
ꢀlightly larger than 0 radianꢀ. The output current from the charge pump will cycle from maximum to minimum even  
though the VCO haꢀ not yet reached itꢀ final frequency.  
The charge on the loop filter ꢀmall cap may actually diꢀcharge ꢀlightly during the low gain portion of the cycle. Thiꢀ can  
make the VCO frequency actually reverꢀe temporarily during locking. Thiꢀ phenomenon iꢀ known aꢀ cycle ꢀlipping.  
Cycle ꢀlipping cauꢀeꢀ the pull-in rate during the locking phaꢀe to vary cyclically. Cycle slipping increaꢀeꢀ the time to  
lock to a value much greater than that predicted by normal ꢀmall ꢀignal Laplace analyꢀiꢀ.  
The HMC703LP4E mitigateꢀ the effectꢀ of cycle-ꢀlipꢀ by increaꢀing the charge-pump current when the phaꢀe error iꢀ  
larger than ~220 degreeꢀ or ~14 nꢀ (whichever iꢀ leꢀꢀ aꢀ meaꢀured by the lock-detect circuit). The circuit iꢀ normally  
moꢀt effective for PD frequencieꢀ <= 50 MHz.

In addition to the normal CP current aꢀ deꢀcribed above, there iꢀ alꢀo an extra output ꢀource of current that offerꢀ

ꢀignalꢀ and real time teꢀt waveformꢀ (including Lock Detect). It iꢀ driven by a tri-ꢀtate CMOs driver with ~200 Ω Rout.  
It haꢀ logic aꢀꢀociated with it to dynamically ꢀelect whether the driver iꢀ enabled, and to decide which data to export  
from the chip.  
In itꢀ default configuration, after power-on-reꢀet, the output driver iꢀ diꢀabled, and only driveꢀ during appropriately  
addreꢀꢀed sPI readꢀ. Thiꢀ allowꢀ it to ꢀhare the output with other deviceꢀ on the ꢀame buꢀ.  
Depending on the sPI mode, the read ꢀection of sPI cycle iꢀ recognized differently  
HMC sPI Mode: The driver iꢀ enabled during the laꢀt 24 bitꢀ of sPI READ cycle (not during write cycleꢀ).  
Open sPI Mode: The driver iꢀ enabled if the chip iꢀ addreꢀꢀed - ie. The laꢀt 3 bitꢀ of sPI cycle = ‘000’b before the  
riꢀing edge of sEN (Note A).  
To conꢀiꢀtently monitor any of the GPO ꢀignalꢀ, including Lock Detect, ꢀet Reg 0Fh[7] = 1 to keep the sDO driver  
alwayꢀ on. Thiꢀ ꢀtopꢀ the LDO driver from tri-ꢀtating and meanꢀ that the sDO line cannot be ꢀhared with other deviceꢀ.  
The chip will naturally ꢀwitch away from the GPO data and export the sDO during an sPI read (Note B). To prevent  
thiꢀ automatic data ꢀelection, and alwayꢀ ꢀelect the GPO ꢀignal, ꢀet “Prevent AutoMux of sDO” (Reg 0Fh[6] = 1). The  
phaꢀe noiꢀe performance at thiꢀ output iꢀ poor and uncharacterized. Alꢀo, the GPO output ꢀhould not be toggling  
during normal operation. Otherwiꢀe the ꢀpectral performance may degrade.  
Note that there are additional controlꢀ available, which may be helpful if ꢀharing the buꢀ with other deviceꢀ:  
To allow the driver to be active (ꢀubject to the conditionꢀ above) even when the chip iꢀ diꢀabled -  
ꢀet Reg 01h[7] = 1.  
To diꢀable the driver completely, ꢀet Reg 08h[5] = 0 (it takeꢀ precedence over all elꢀe).  
To diꢀable either the pull-up or pull-down ꢀectionꢀ of the driver, Reg 0Fh[8] = 0 or Reg 0Fh[9] = 0 reꢀpectively.  
Note A: If SEN rises before SCK has clocked in an ‘invalid’ (non-zero) chip -address, the part will start to drive the  
bus.  
Note B: In Open Mode, the active portion of the read is defined between the 1st SCK rising edge after SEN, to the  
next rising edge of SEN.  
Example scenarioꢀ:  
Drive sDO during readꢀ, tri-ꢀtate otherwiꢀe (to allow buꢀ-ꢀharing)  
No action required.  
Drive sDO during readꢀ, Lock Detect otherwiꢀe
