Fractional Divider Operating Modes
The fractional divider has two operating modes:
•
Normal divider mode
•
Fractional divider mode
Normal Divider Mode
In normal divider mode (FDR.DM = 01
B
), the fractional divider behaves as a reload
counter (addition of +1) that generates an output clock pulse at
f
OUT
on the transition from
3FF
H
to 000
H
. FDR.RESULT represents the counter value and FDR.STEP determines
the reload value.
The output frequencies in normal divider mode are defined according to the following
formulas:
