Field Description

STRB_BYPASS
Strobe bypass
The STRB_BYPASS signal is used to bypass the STRB signal used inside PLL to latch the 
correct values for control bits (INC_STEP, MOD_PERIOD and SPRD_SEL).
0 STRB is used to latch PLL modulation control bits. 
1 STRB is bypassed. In this case control bits need to be static. The control bits must be 
changed only when PLL is in power-down mode.

SPRD_SEL
Spread type selection
The SPRD_SEL controls the spread type in Frequency Modulation mode.

MOD_PERIOD
Modulation period
The MOD_PERIOD field is the binary equivalent of the value modperiod derived from 
following formula:
where:
f
ref
: represents the frequency of the feedback divider
f
mod
: represents the modulation frequency
The maximum value of MOD_PERIOD is 0x1000.
