Philips Semiconductors
1.3GHz low voltage fractional-N dual synthesizer
Objective specification
SA7026
Serial programming bus
The serial input is a 3-wire input (CLOCK, STROBE, DATA) to
program all counter divide ratios, fractional compensation DAC,
selection and enable bits. The programming data is structured into
24 bit words; each word includes 2 address bits. Figure 8 shows the
timing diagram of the serial input. When the STROBE goes active
HIGH, the clock is disabled and the data in the shift register remains
unchanged. Depending on the 2 address bits the data is latched into
Serial bus timing characteristics. See Figure 8.
VDD = VDDCP =+3.0V; Tamb = +25°C unless otherwise specified.

different working registers or temporary registers. In order to fully
program the synthesizer, 3 words must be sent: C, B, and A. Table 1
shows the format and the contents of each word. The D word is for
testing purposes only. The data for the fractional compensation
DAC, FC is stored by the B word in temporary registers. When the A
word is loaded, the data of these temporary registers is loaded
together with the main divider ratio.
