3.8.12 FEVCO – RF Front-End VCO and PLL Control

Name: FEVCO
Offset: 0x10B
Reset: 0x00

Bit 76543210 
 VCOB[3:0]CPCC[3:0] 
Access R/WR/WR/WR/WR/WR/WR/WR/W 
Reset 00000000 

Bits 7:4 – VCOB[3:0] VCO Bias

The VCOB[3:0] setting controls the amplitude of the VCO. In firmware this frequency-dependent value is stored in the EEPROM configuration for each service. In addition, it is corrected with a factory calibration value.

Bits 3:0 – CPCC[3:0] Charge Pump Current Control

The CPCC[3:0] setting controls the charge pump current in the fractional-N PLL and, as a result, the loop bandwidth of the fractional-N PLL. In firmware, this frequency-dependent value is stored in the EEPROM configuration for each service. In addition, it is corrected with a factory calibration value.
