There are synchronous and asynchronous powerdown modes for KB8821/22/23.

Synchronous powerdown mode occurs if R18 bit is LOW, N20 bit is HIGH and charge pump output is in high

impedance state. In the synchronous power down mode, the powerdown function is activated by the charge

pump to diminish unwanted frequency jumps. Asynchronous powerdown mode occurs if R18 bit is HIGH and

N20 bit is HIGH.

When the PLL goes to either synchronous or asynchronous powerdown mode, preamp becomes debiased, R &

N counters keeps their load conditions and the charge pump becomes high impedance state. The oscillator cir-

cuitry function becomes disabled only when both IF and RF powerdown bits are activated, i.e. N20 HIGH.

The PLL returns to an active powerup mode when N20 bit becomes LOW(either in synchronous or asynchronous

modes).
