High enables the VCO buffer. Low disables this output.
Low enables SW_MUTE mode, which shuts down the RF circuits while
leaving the 3-wire interface, register, and PLL circuits active.
Low enables register-based shutdown. This mode shuts down all circuits
except the 3-wire interface and internal registers.
Logic high disables the sigma-delta modulator. Logic low enables the
sigma-delta modulator for normal operation.

Power-Supply (V CC ) Bypassing
Proper voltage-supply bypassing is essential to reduce
the spurious emissions mentioned above. It is recom-
mended that each V CC pin be bypassed independently
and share no common vias with any other ground con-
nection. See the Typical Operating Circuit for suggest-
ed bypass component values.
