Maximum VCO Modulation Bandwidth
The maximum VCO modulation bandwidth is 10kHz; that
is, the LTC1799 will respond to changes in VIN at a rate
up to 25kHz. In lower frequency applications however, the
modulation frequency may need to be limited to a lower
rate to prevent an increase in output jitter. This lower limit
is the master oscillator frequency divided by 20, (fOSC/20).
In general, for minimum output jitter the modulation fre-
quency should be limited to fOSC/20 or 10kHz, whichever
is less. For best performance at all frequencies, the value
for fOSC should be the master oscillator frequency (N=1)
when VIN is at the lowest level.

VRES = Voltage across RSET
Note: All of the calculations above assume VRES = 1.1V, although VRES ≈ 1.1V. For completeness,
Table 2 shows the variation of VRES against various parallel combinations of RIN and RSET
(VIN = V+). Calulate first with VRES ≈ 1.1V, then use Table 2 to get a better approximation of
VRES, then recalculate the resistor values using the new value for VRES.
