The
ADF4350/1 features a programmable dual-modulus prescaler of 4/5 or 8/9.
When set to 4/5, the maximum RF frequency allowed is 3 GHz.
Therefore, when operating the
ADF4351 above 3 GHz, this must be set to 8/9.
In this context not the RF output frequency is meant
- it's the VCO frequency.
Therefore move the prescaler selection after we derived the VCO frequency
from the desired RF output frequency.
This BUG may have caused PLL lock instabilities when operating the VCO at
the very high range close to 4.4 GHz.
