Notes:
1: Value of Rdiv is as programmed into the input divider
2: PFD update frequency should be maintained as close to 500 kHz as possible for optimum phase noise performance. Other divider values can be
programmed to reduce the PFD update rate, but this is not recommended due to the internal loop bandwidth being preset @ 50kHz.
3: No SPI access should be performed during tpup or thop, while the VCO is being calibrated.
