Label Function 

Use the 

Frequency & N Parameters

 section to change settings for the LO frequency after applying the initial settings in the 

Initial Configuration

 (Label A) section. This section includes the following: 

 

Requested LO Frequency

 and 

VCO Frequency

: enter values in these two text boxes to trigger the INT, FRAC1, FRAC2, and 

MOD2 calculations. 

 

INT

FRAC1

FRAC2

, and 

MOD2

: calculations based on the requested LO or VCO frequency. Changing these values directly 

changes the actual LO and VCO frequency accordingly but does not change the requested LO and VCO frequency text boxes. 

 

PFD Frequency

: calculation based on the 

Reference Path

 (Label C) section. 

 

Actual LO Frequency

 and 

VCO Frequency

: the actual LO frequency and the actual VCO frequency are calculated from the PFD 

frequency, INT, FRAC1, FRAC2, MOD1, and MOD2 parameters shown on the right side of the equation (see Figure 9).  

 

Delta LO Frequency

 and 

VCO Frequency

: the delta is computed from the difference between the requested and actual 

frequencies, which is useful for detecting if there is any residual frequency error due to limitations caused by synthesizer resolution. 

 

Lock Detect Readback

: click the check button next to this option to check whether the PLL is locked. 

 

Integer

 and 

Fractional

 indication light: indicates if the chip is in integer or fractional mode. 

Use the 

Reference Path

 section to change the reference parameters and PFD frequency after applying the initial settings in the 

Initial Configuration

 (Label A) section. This section includes the following:  

 

PFD Frequency

: the calculated PFD frequency based on the equation on right (see Figure 9). 

 

REF Frequency

: enter the reference input frequency. 

 

Doubler

: click this button to enable or disable the doubler. 

 

R Word

: scroll up and down to change the R word values, ranging from 1 to 32. 

 

Div-by-2

: click this button to enable or disable the reference divide by 2 function. 

Click the 

Read

 button in the 

Core & Band

 section to read back the chip core and band values. 

Click the 

Read

 button in the 

Temp ADC

 section to read back the chip temperature sensor values.  

I

 and 

Q

: scroll up and down to adjust the I and Q phase value in the 

LO Phase

 section. 

Use the 

Power Downs

 section to configure the different blocks power conditions in the chip. This section includes the following: 

 

RF BIAS PD

PLL PD

, and 

VCO PD

: scroll up and down to power up or power down these blocks in the chip. 

 

PD pin

: scroll up and down to select normal operation or to power down the chip. 

 

RESET_N Pin

: scroll up and down to select normal operation or to reset the power-on state. 

Use the 

Mode Selection

 section to select the mixer mode and configure the automatic gain control (AGC).  

Use the 

Baseband Settings

 section to configure the dc settings for both IF and I/Q mode and the mixer common-mode 

settings. This section includes the following: 

 

DC Offset Target

: scroll up and down to set the target dc offset. Changing the values result in changes in 

DC Offset I

 and 

DC 

Offset Q

 values accordingly.

 

 

DC Offset I, DC Offset Q

: bidirectional calculation associated with 

DC Offset Target

. Scroll up and down to change these 

values. The 

DC Offset Target

 changes accordingly.

 

 

MIXER_VCM

: scroll up and down to change the mixer common-mode voltage. The hexadecimal value is shown to the right.

 

 

IQ Mode

: scroll up and down to change the I/Q mode common-mode voltage (

VCM

).

 

 

Calc Error

 light: this light illuminates if there is a calculation error when MIXER_VCM is changed to a value outside of the 

nominal equations. Refer to the 

ADMV4530

 data sheet and Register 0x103 for more details.

 

The 

Other PLL Settings

 section consists of the following: 

 

ΣΔ

 

PD

: click the dropdown menu to power down or power up the Σ-Δ function. For integer mode, power 

ΣΔ

 

PD

 down. For 

fractional mode, power 

ΣΔ

 

PD

 up. 

 

Aux

 

ΣΔ

: click the dropdown menu to enable or disable this function. 

 

AUTOCAL

: click the dropdown menu to enable or disable the auto calibration function. 

 

Prescaler

: click the dropdown menu to select the prescaler. 

 

PD Polarity

: click the dropdown menu to select the PD polarity. 

 

CP Current

: click the dropdown menu to select the charge pump current. 

 

CP Bleed

: click the dropdown menu to enable or disable the charge pump bleed. 

 

MUXOUT

: click the dropdown menu to configure the MUXOUT signal, which can output to the SDO pin.
