Quick-lock Signal (DB)
The quick-lock output signal, DB, is provided so that the PLL may achieve higher speed
locking. When connected, the DB output effectively doubles the charge pump current out-
put to the loop filter during the initial start-up of the PLL (when OPR first goes high).
Once the PLL phase error is within a specific tolerance, the quick-lock circuitry sets the
DB output to a high impedance state and the PLL continues toward lock with its normal
charge pump current.
Stand-by Mode
The stand-by mode for the PLL is entered by setting the OPR pin low and V
DD1 to 0 V
while the circuit is in operation. In the stand-by mode, the XIN and FIN amplifiers, N-
counter, and R-counter are stopped, the N- and R-counters are also reset, and the DO and
DB outputs are set to the high impedance state. As long as voltage is supplied to V
DD2,
data loaded to the latches is kept. To exit from stand-by mode to normal operation, the
OPR pin must be set high and voltage must again be supplied to V
DD1.
