Description
Analog Ground.
AGND
AVDD
Analog Core Supply (1.8 V).
DAC Analog Output.
DAC Analog Complementary Output.
Resets the serial port when synchronization is lost in communications but does not reset the de-
vice itself (ACTIVE HIGH). When not being used, this pin should be forced low, because it floats to
the threshold value.
Master RESET. Clears all accumulators and returns all registers to their default values (ACTIVE
HIGH).
Digital Core Supply (1.8 V).
Digital Ground.
Serial Data Output. Used only when device is programmed for 3-wire serial data mode.
Serial Data I/O. When the part is programmed for 3-wire serial data mode, this is input only; in
2-wire mode, it serves as both the input and output.
Serial Data Clock. Provides the clock signal for the serial data port.
Active Low Signal That Enables Shared Serial Busses. When brought high, the serial port ignores
the serial data clocks.
Digital Interface Supply (3.3 V).
Synchronization Clock Output.
Bidirectional Dual Function Pin. Depending on device programming, it is either the DDS’ synchro-
nization input (allows alignment of multiple subclocks) or the PLL lock detect output signal.
This input pin, when set high, transfers the data from the I/O buffers to the internal registers on the
rising edge of the internal SYNC_CLK, which can be observed on SYNC_OUT.
Profile Select Pins. Specify one of eight frequency tuning word/phase offset word profiles. In linear
sweep mode, PS0 determines the state of the sweep. In linear sweep no dwell mode, PS0 is a trig-
ger that initiates the sweep. PS1 and PS2 have no function during linear sweep mode or linear
sweep no dwell mode.
RF Divider and DDS REFCLK Complementary Input.
RF Divider and DDS REFCLK Input.
CML Driver Complementary Output.
CML Driver Output.
Charge Pump Supply Pin (3.3 V). To minimize noise on the charge pump, isolate this supply from
DVDD_I/O.
Charge Pump Output.
Phase Frequency Detector Reference Input.
Phase Frequency Detector Reference Complementary Input.
Phase Frequency Detector Oscillator (Feedback) Complementary Input.
Phase Frequency Detector Oscillator (Feedback) Input.
Charge Pump Current Set (Program Charge Pump Current with a Resistor to AGND).
CML Driver Output Current Set (Program CML Output Current with a Resistor to AGND).
DAC Output Current Set (Program DAC Output Current with a Resistor to AGND).

Note that the exposed paddle on this package is an electrical connection (Pin 49) as well as a thermal enhancement. In order for the
device to function properly, the paddle MUST be attached to analog ground.
