This document discusses testing and programming the ADF4113 frequency synthesizer chip. It shows initialization code, setting the frequency and function registers through API calls, and an example main program that initializes the chip and allows changing the output frequency and function settings through buttons. Initialization sets the frequency to 2476 MHz, and pressing button 2 changes settings like loop bandwidth and current before setting a new frequency of 2423 MHz. The API functions HalSynInit(), HalSynStart(), and halSynSetFunc() are used to control the chip.

ADF4113 Spec. Abstract
RF characteristics were not shown, since we are focusing the design of digital
interface here.
DSN-3019 Spec. (I guess 3.3V DVDD is used in the packaged module)

ADF4113 Pin Function
Digital Section:
1. 24-bit input shift register / 14-bit R counter / 19-bit N counter (6-bit A counter + 13-bit B
counter).
2. Data is clocked into the 24-bit shift register on each rising edge of CLK MSB first.
3. Data is transferred from the shift register to one of four latches on the rising edge of LE. The
destination latch is determined by the state of the two control bits (C2, C1) in the shift
register. These are the two LSBs, DB1 and DB0, as shown in Figure 2. The truth table for
these bits is shown in Table 5.

API函數
 在main()中可以呼叫以下三種函數來設定Synthesizer
 HalSynInit(void)：初始化晶片，在main()開頭使用，
只要初始化一次即可(寫在while(1)的super loop外)。
 HalSynStart(uint16 rf_Freq)：使晶片開始於新設
定的頻率，rf_Freq填入數字即可，單位是MHz。例如要
設定新頻率為2558 MHz，使用HalSynStart(2558)即可。
 halSynSetFunc(uint8 funcSet, uint8 mode) ：
設 定 晶 片 功 能 ， 第 一 欄 填 寫 設 定 之 類 型 ( 見
hal_adf4113.h) ， 第 二 欄 填 寫 要 更 改 的 功 能 屬 性 ( 見
hal_adf4113.h)。
extern uint8 HalSynInit(void);
extern uint8 HalSynStart(uint16 rf_Freq);
extern uint8 halSynSetFunc(uint8 funcSet, uint8 mode);

應用程式main()
#include <ioAT89C52.h>
#include "hal_adf4113.h"
#define BTN1 P3_bit.P3_2
#define BTN2 P3_bit.P3_3
void main()
{
TriWire_LE = 0;
BTN1 = 1;
BTN2 = 1;
HalSynInit();
while(1)
{
if (BTN1 == 0) {
delayms(50);
if (BTN1 == 0){
while(BTN1 == 0);
HalSynStart(2476);
}
}
if (BTN2 == 0) {
delayms(50);
if (BTN2 == 0){
while(BTN2 == 0);
halSynSetFunc(ADF4113_SET_LD_PREC, ADF4113_LD_PREC_5CYCLE);
halSynSetFunc(ADF4113_SET_ABP, ADF4113_ANTI_WIDTH_1P5NS);
halSynSetFunc(ADF4113_SET_CURRENT, ADF4113_ICP6);
halSynSetFunc(ADF4113_SET_COUNTER_CONT, ADF4113_TCOUNTER10);
halSynSetFunc(ADF4113_SET_MUX, ADF4113_MUX_DIVN_OUT);
HalSynStart(2423);
}
}
}
}
功能設定可以重複調用，等所有功能都設定完，
最後記得執行HalSynStart()才會送出設定訊號給晶片
