Fractional PLLs are able to generate exact frequencies (with zero frequency error) if N can beexactly represented in binary (eg. N = 50.0,50.5,50.25,50.75 etc.). Unfortunately, some commonfrequencies cannot be exactly represented.

DuringAutoCal,theAutoCalcontrolleronlyupdatesthedatafieldofReg05h.TheVCOsubsystemregisteraddress(Reg05h[6:3])mustbesetto0000fortheAutoCaldatatobesenttothecorrectaddress.
VCO subsystem ID and register address are notmodified by the AutoCal statemachine. Hence, if amanualaccess isdone toaVCOSubsystemregister theusermust reset the registeraddress tozerobeforeachangeoffrequencywhichwillre-runAutoCal.
Since every write to Reg 05h will result in a transfer of data to the VCO subsystem, if the VCOsubsystemneeds to be resetmanually, it is important tomake sure that theVCOswitch settings arenot changed. Hence the switch settings in Reg 10h[7:0] need to be read first, and then rewritten toReg05h[15:8].
