The internal VCO has a duty cycle of 50%. Therefore, when the
VCO is connected directly to the output, the duty cycle is 50%.
If the CLK input is routed directly to the output, the duty cycle of
the output is the same as the CLK input.
Phase Offset or Coarse Time Delay
Each channel divider allows for a phase offset or a coarse time
delay to be programmed by setting register bits (s
ee Table 40).
These settings determine the number of cycles (successive rising
edges) of the channel divider input frequency by which to offset, or
delay, the rising edge of the output of the divider. This delay is
with respect to a nondelayed output (that is, with a phase offset
of zero). The amount of the delay is set by five bits loaded into
the phase offset (PO) register plus the start high (SH) bit for
each channel divider.
When the start high bit is set, the delay is also affected by the
number of low cycles (M) programmed for the divider.
The SYNC function must be used to make phase offsets effective
