TRF3761 Software
Software Operation
The TRF3761 software is used to program the internal PLL chip to lock the integrated VCO onto a desired
frequency output. The main menu of the program is shown in
Figure 5. TRF3761 GUI - Main Menu
The options in the front panel allow the user to program the desired frequency of the VCO, the desired
frequency of the PFD, the reference frequency, and the prescaler selection. The software then displays
the actual VCO frequency, PFD frequency and the R, N, A, and B counter values to be programmed into
the TRF3761. Hitting the Send button writes these values to the TRF3761. In default mode on a default
board, only the desired VCO frequency (2028 MHz to 2175 MHz) needs to be changed. For other VCO
ranges, a different member of the TRF3761 family needs to be selected and other parameters may need
to be changed. The Advanced Operation button will bring up another user interface as shown in
Figure 6. TRF3761 GUI - Advanced Menu
This menu allows control of more register settings. For details on these settings, see the TRF3761 data
