LMX2492: PFD_DLY Reserved

Part Number: LMX2492

Hello,

I am using PFD_DLY = 1 and the performace in good, but Is good idea set PFD_DLY=0 (Reserved) to reduce (a bit) the pull-in time?

What means PFD_DLY=0?

 

Thank you in advance

  • HI Luis,

    PFD_DLY is an added delay in the phase detector, a proper PFD_DLY will help reduce spurs in a fractional channel. However, the delay may degrade phase noise. 

    You can play around PFD_DLY value in order to get the best phase noise and spurs performance.
