c. Set DB<30:18> of register 2 to the desired frequency. For example: 2200MHz would be 0100010011000
(2200).
d. Set DB31of register 2 to 1 to start the calibration. The VCO calibration runs for 5ms. During the cal
procedure it will not be possible to program register 2 and 3. At the end of the calibration, bit DB31 of
register 2 resets to 0.
e. Subsequent frequency programming requires DB31 to be set to 0.
Register 3
Completion of the frequency set up, on initial calibration, cannot proceed until 5ms has elapsed, due to full
calibration, then it will require that the A and B values, the prescalar ratio, be known. See Synthesizing a
Selected Frequency section below for calculation. Reference
Table 3.a. The first 4 bits of the 32-bit code sent to the chip are set DB <3:0> to 0010; which is the address of
register 3.
b. DB<5:4> sets the prescalar ratio, 8/9, 16/17, 32/33, 64/65. For example: if 16/17 are required, set the
register bits DB<5:4> to 01.
c. DB<11:6> sets the A value for the N counter. For example: if A is 4, set DB<11:6> as follows: 000100 (4).
d. DB<24:12> sets the B value for the N counter. For example: if B is 1156, set DB<24:12> as follows:
0010010000100 (4).
e. DB<28:25> sets the TEST_MUX. This allows the user to check via the microcontroller the state of the
TRF3761 by programming it to one of 6 states. The most common state to use is the Digital lock Detect
which places the pin in a logic high state with indicates the VCO is locked.

f.
DB29 sets the START LOCK, which is set to 0, on the initial frequency setup and then set to 1 on
additional frequency changes.
Once all registers are written, the TRF3761 will lock to the desired frequency. In order to change the frequency
once the initial calibration is complete, only registers 2 and 3 need to be reprogrammed. No calibration is
required.
Assuming the TRF3761 is powered up and operational, a VCO calibration is also possible without powering
down the IC. To perform such calibration the following procedure is recommended:
Set bit DB4 (RESET) of register 1 to 1. This performs a software reset and clears all registers of VCO
calibration data. Once the reset command is issued then DB4 of register 1 will need to be set to 0.
Repeat the Initial Calibration and Frequency setup at Power up section, skipping the power up section and
performing the register programming sequence.
