Typical performance characteristics
Phase noise is measured with the Agilent E5052A Signal Source Analyzer. All closed-loop
measurements are done with FSTEP=200 kHz, with the FPFD and charge pump current
properly set. The loop filter configuration is depicted in Figure 36: Typical application
diagram, and the reference clock signal is at 76.8 MHz with a phase noise of -135 dBc/Hz
@1 kHz offset, -145 dBc/Hz @10 kHz offset and -149.5 dBc/Hz of noise floor.
