2.4.4 TRI-STATE ID
o Aux
AUXILIARY SYNTHESIZER CHARGE PUMP TRI-STATE CURRENT
Aux R[19]
The TRI-STATE ID
o Aux bit allows the charge pump to be switched between a normal operating mode and a high impedance
output state. This happens asynchronously with the change in the TRI-STATE ID
o Aux bit.
Furthermore, the TRI-STATE ID
o Aux bit operates in conjuction with the PWDN Aux bit to set a synchronous or an asynchronous
powerdown mode.

2.5 AUXILIARY N REGISTER
The Aux N register contains the Aux N_CNTRA, Aux N_CNTRB, PRE Aux, and PWDN Aux control words. The Aux N_CNTRA
and Aux N_CNTRB control words are used to setup the programmable feedback divider. The detailed description and
programming information for each control word is discussed in the following sections.

2.5.1 Aux N_CNTRA[4:0]
AUXILIARY SYNTHESIZER SWALLOW COUNTER (A COUNTER)
Aux N[2:6]
The Aux N_CNTRA control word is used to setup the Aux synthesizer’s A counter. The A counter is a 5-bit swallow counter used
in the programmable feedback divider. The Aux N_CNTRA control word can be programmed to values ranging from 0 to 31.

AUXILIARY SYNTHESIZER PROGRAMMABLE BINARY COUNTER (B COUNTER)
Aux N[7:19]
The Aux N_CNTRB control word is used to setup the Aux synthesizer’s B counter. The B counter is a 13-bit programmable binary
counter used in the programmable feedback divider. The Aux N_CNTRB control word can be programmed to values ranging from
3 to 8191.
