7.3.7 Channel Divider

To go below the VCO lower bound of 7.5 GHz, the channel divider can be used. The channel divider consists of four segments, and the total division value is equal to the multiplication of them. Therefore, not all values are valid.

LMX2594 Output_Divider_snas696.gifFigure 24. Channel Divider

When the channel divider is used, there are limitations on the values. Table 8 shows how these values are implemented and which segments are used.

The channel divider is powered up whenever an output (OUTx_MUX) is selected to the channel divider or SysRef, regardless of whether it is powered down or not. When an output is not used, TI recommends selecting the VCO output to ensure that the channel divider is not unnecessarily powered up.
