Does the LMX2820 require 3.3VDC to be connected to the VCC_VCO and VCC_BUF power inputs even if the device is operating with an external VCO?

LMX2820: Current consumption higher than datasheet indicates when in EXT VCO mode (Evaluation Board)
Does the LMX2820 require 3.3VDC to be connected to the VCC_VCO and VCC_BUF power inputs even if the device is operating with an external VCO?
Indeed, all supply pins including VCC_VCO and VCC_BUF need to be connected to 3.3V even when using external VCO. Register settings will power down circuitry connected to these power pins as needed in the external VCO case.
